63 The Banquet 5 (1/2)
”Jun Qing also came today? Are you feeling better?” The Emperor smiled gently at Jun Qing.
Jun Qing sat weakly on the wheelchair and as he tried to speak, his breathing became chaotic and he started gasping for his breath.
The Emperor's face changed immediately and quickly said: ”Quick! Imperial Doctors quickly go have a look!”
Upon the Emperor's order, the two Imperial Doctors on standby quickly rushed over to Jun Qing's side and attended to him.
During the whole process, Jun Qing's face was pale and his breathing was very faint.
Jun Wu Xie sat there quietly sipping her tea looking at the two doctors taking the pulse of her uncle.
This uncle of hers was not bad, he added quite a clever touch. The purpose of the Emperor's invitation to Jun Qing was clear as day. When the Emperor started probing, Jun Qing immediately gave him this opportunity.
Jun Qing's situation was no different from the previous time they had taken his pulse. His pulse was very weak and his breath was faint… his life seemed to be so fragile and could be extinguished any moment.
After both the Imperial Doctors thoroughly checked, they whispered amongst themselves and turned towards the Emperor with a serious tone, said: ”Please pardon us, but we are unable to resolve this for his highness. We can only advise his highness to rest as much as he can and do not cause any unnecessary strain on the heart.” They were very subtle in their diagnosis.
The two Imperial Doctors were helpless and with their diagnosis, Jun Qing was already deemed dead.
The mood was heavy as all the ministers showed a face of regret and remorse, a total different emotion from what they were feeling inside.
”Go prepare some Ginseng.” The Emperor ordered as he gave out a long sigh, giving the impression of a helpless enlightened ruler, he turned to Jun Xian and said: ”If there is anything you need, just feel free to speak out. Since today Bai Yun Xian is also present, how about we let her have a look as well?”
Jun Xian got up respectfully: ”This humble one is touched and very thankful for Your Majesty's grace!”
