"All you old fellows with white hair and beards combined are not as good as a young girl! Don't you feel ashamed?"
The Imperial Physicians kneeling on the ground dared not make a sound.
Empress Zheng gently said, "Tooth problems are inherently difficult to treat; it's not entirely their fault."
The Emperor snorted, impatiently waving his hand, and the Imperial Physicians on the ground got up and withdrew.
