Director Xiao visited Wei Zhi alone in the evening, and the next day he invited Imperial Doctor Liu.
Imperial Doctor Liu reached the same conclusion as Director Xiao, diagnosing excessive fatigue with symptoms of exhaustion and qi deficiency.
Thus Director Xiao pondered and requested an audience with the emperor, hoping to invite his mentor, the already retired Imperial Doctor Tan, to come for a consultation.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Lord Wei is also unwilling to rest, and is planning to resume official duties tomorrow."
Director Xiao bowed his head and said, "It's precisely for this reason that diagnosing the illness is crucial before prescribing medicine. If it's merely exhaustion, reducing some official business and resting for a few days would suffice."
But if it's truly as Zhou Man suggested, then a few days of medication would not be sufficient.
The emperor contemplated and asked, "Has Zhou Man's medical expertise surpassed yours?"
