"Mm!"
The Emperor responded with a faint sound, which was taken as consent.
In truth, an Emperor, nearly perishing from exhaustion, he too found it embarrassing.
Naturally, he hoped Yun Jinnian would heal him sooner rather than later, especially since the Crown Prince of Great Zhou Kingdom and his entourage were about to visit Tianchu Country. If they knew of his predicament, they would surely laugh him, the Emperor, to scorn.
After drawing blood, Yun Jinnian was in a side hall of Yangxin Hall studying the sample. He tried various substances, feeding them one by one, but there was no change, the worm was as lively as ever.
He thought about adding a drop of his own blood, but this was Yangxin Hall, with countless eyes watching.
After some thought, he eventually gave up on the idea.
Nevertheless, he changed the Emperor's prescription again, then returned to Weiyang Palace for lunch, followed by going back to the side hall to read and rest.
