So many soldiers had died, and their mortars and bombs had been stolen, causing considerable losses to the country. Xiao Zeyu was furious and first beheaded the imperial physician in charge of purchasing medicine, confiscated his family's wealth, and exiled his family to Jingshi Dao.
The other imperial physicians in the Imperial Academy of Medicine did not report the fake medicine they discovered. If they were suspected of concealing it, they were all punished. They were beaten 100 times and chased out of the Imperial Academy of Medicine.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. The Su family is the Empress's mother's family. We didn't dare to offend them, so we didn't say anything. Please understand, Your Majesty."
