The palace attendant lowered her head and replied, "It was Mr. Chen's instruction... Yesterday, he spent over two hours in the kitchen and even wrote a prescription for us to follow. We're to brew the medicine as per the prescription and deliver it to you every morning until your body fully recovers..."
"Why does your Imperial Kitchen listen to him?" Chu Yanli asked curiously.
