"Stop gossiping. If you want to know about the Crown Princess, you can ask her later. But what's the situation at the Imperial Pharmacy?"
"I only glanced at it a few times, so I couldn't look closely. It was a rather large prescription, and several eunuchs were helping the physicians cut, grind, and organize the herbs. The doors to the cubicles on both sides were closed; they were supposedly the residences of the imperial physicians on duty, but I didn't see anyone there.
