Upon hearing such a staggering piece of news, the medical officers were all somewhat unsettled, gathering to whisper amongst themselves. Lu Tong set down her medicine bowl and walked towards Chang Jin.
Chang Jin was standing outside. Seeing her approach, he turned around.
"Chief Physician," she paused, her voice softer, "have the messages from the courier station mentioned any recent developments from the Grand Preceptor's Mansion?"
Chang Jin glanced at her in surprise, quickly realized, and looked at the medical officers warming themselves in the distant teahouse before leaning in and whispering, "They have."
He said, "In the case of the Third Prince committing regicide, the investigation has implicated many court officials. The Qi Family also exerted their efforts for the Third Prince, and all marquises who had contact with the Grand Preceptor's Mansion are wanted; their associates and families have been exterminated. The Qi Family was executed down to the third degree."
