The Head Imperial Physician is the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital. He is summoned by the Emperor to report on Wei Chengyi's condition. He diagnoses that Wei Chengyi suffered an anger attack and that the chronic poison has invaded his heart meridian, giving him at most seven days to live. He is cautious and fearful of the Emperor, speaking with trembling and a thin sweat on his forehead. He represents the official medical opinion that supports Wei Chengyi's feigned coma.
