Wei Jin slammed his fist down on the table with force, "Investigate!"
After speaking, he started coughing softly.
The strategist held his breath silently, and after a long while, he said, "Your Highness, allow me to see why the Imperial Physician has not arrived yet!"

Out of all the people in the Imperial Hospital, Wei Jin only trusted him.
After conducting diagnostics through observation, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse, he said, "Your Highness has indeed contracted smallpox. Because it wasn't noticed early on, the illness has progressed past the midway point. You need to take good care to recover!"
"How long will it take to recover?" Wei Jin asked.
