Chu Qingluan looked at them solemnly, her eyes as sharp as a knife.
The imperial doctors lowered their heads and dared not even breathe.
"Oh?" Chu Qingluan lowered her eyes, stroking the teacup with her fingertips, and her voice showed no emotion.
"What did Princess Wuya say?"
A few people exchanged glances, and one said, "She said that Western Region health preservation techniques emphasize the harmony of yin and yang, and that we are... worrying too much."
"Interesting." Chu Qingluan chuckled, "So there's something wrong with Wu Ya's medicine?"
The imperial doctors were silent.
She slowly stood up, walked over to the imperial physicians, and said condescendingly, "Our father is in a coma, and you haven't even thoroughly investigated the cause. In my opinion, you've been sitting in the position of Chief Medical Officer for too long and have long forgotten the weight of the burden on your shoulders!"
"As imperial physicians, you witnessed His Majesty's extraordinary actions, yet you failed to dissuade him, instead listening to the words of a foreign woman. If you do not punish them severely today, how can you serve as a warning to others? Come!"

"Why should I trust you?"
"I... am willing to pay with my own head," Judge Chen gritted his teeth. "Three days! I beg the princess to give me three more days. I will surely find out the truth. If I cannot, I will leave it to you, the princess, to deal with me!"
The remaining few people looked at each other and had to sign a military order on the spot.
"Your servants are willing to follow Judge Chen's orders and will be able to uncover the truth within three days!"
Chu Qingluan was silent for a moment, then finally nodded. "Alright, I'll give you one more chance. Within three days, you must find the real cause of my father's coma and an antidote! If you fail to do so within the deadline, I will deal with you according to palace rules."
"Your Majesty, we obey your command! Thank you, Princess, for not killing me!"
Chen Yuanpan and others felt as if they had been pardoned and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
