《明史·列传·卷一百二十八》
皇上脸色焦虑，在一旁侍立，我等跪在先帝的周围，心意仿徨，拿着药上前，呼天祈祷，为臣的到了这种地步，遗憾不能代替。
皇上焦颜侍侧，臣等环跪彷徨，操药而前，吁天以祷。臣子际此，憾不身代。
The emperor's expression was anxious, and he stood by the side while we all knelt around the former emperor with confusion in our hearts. When we offered the medicine, we prayed to the heavens. As his subject, I arrived at this point, with regret that could not be replaced.
