Yu Jingchen glanced around and saw that no one stepped forward; instead, they all tried to exonerate themselves.
"Your Majesty, I prescribe medicine according to the symptoms every day and then have it delivered to you," the imperial physician spoke first.
"Then why isn't she better yet? You've been checking her pulse every day?" Yu Jingchen naturally didn't believe this explanation.
"Your Majesty, I went to check her pulse every day for the first few days. Later, because Consort Nan's condition had been brought under control and she would soon be completely stable as long as she continued to take her medicine, I stopped coming here every day," the imperial physician explained.
"Then why is the medicine that is delivered always wrong?" Yu Jingchen asked again. He naturally remembered what Qianxia had just said, and he also remembered that Qianxia was someone the Empress Dowager had specially found to serve Nan Zhiyun, and that she knew some medical skills.
"Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly. I truly have no idea what happened," the imperial physician said in a panic.
"Who's in charge of delivering the medicine?" Yu Jingchen asked again.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is this servant," a little eunuch stammered.
"So what happened?" Yu Jingchen asked.
"This servant...this servant doesn't know." The little eunuch was trembling violently, and Yu Jingchen could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with him. He was originally going to have him tortured directly, but thinking of Nan Zhiyun's reaction just now, he swallowed the words he was about to say.
"I'll give you one more chance. Do you really not know? There's nothing I can't find out if I want to investigate." Yu Jingchen's voice was even colder than before.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy! Your Majesty, please have mercy!" The little eunuch finally couldn't withstand the pressure.
"So you changed the medicine?" Yu Jingchen asked in a dangerous tone.
"Yes...this servant took out some important medicinal herbs, so...so the medicine wasn't working, Your Majesty, please spare me!" The palace servant kept kowtowing.
Yu Jingchen gently raised his hand, and the palace servant was dragged away.
“Each of the two supervisors will be given fifty strokes of the cane, and then they will no longer need to stay in their positions,” Yu Jingchen said.
"Get back to a safe distance before you fight," Yu Jingchen added.
After listening, Xing Lai glanced at Nan Zhiyun and roughly guessed the reason. It seemed that Nan Jieyu's luck had turned around. He would probably have to be a little more careful in the future.
"I remember saying before that you were in charge of her health. Since you couldn't do that, then you don't need to be imperial physicians anymore. For double-dealing, thirty strokes of the cane, and take them all away." Yu Jingchen didn't have that much patience.
After all these people were taken away, Yu Jingchen looked at the group below and said, "If this happens again, we will punish them severely. You should think carefully before you act."
Those below naturally understood what Yu Jingchen meant.
Nan Zhiyun's heart stirred slightly, but she dared not attribute the matter to her own fault.
"Go in," Yu Jingchen suddenly said, looking at Nan Zhiyun.
“Yes…” Nan Zhiyun replied, then followed Yu Jingchen into the house. The servants below also brought up tea with great perceptiveness.
Although Nan Zhiyun may not be favored by Yu Jingchen, she is still not short of money and rare items due to her status and the Empress Dowager's affection. This tea is also of good quality.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea," Nan Zhiyun said, picking up a cup of tea.
Yu Jingchen noticed that Nan Zhiyun's hands were trembling slightly, and there seemed to be burns on them, probably from the previous incident that hadn't fully healed.
Nan Zhiyun trembled because she was afraid that Yu Jingchen would spill the tea, and that her actions would disgust him.
Yu Jingchen accepted the tea.
