Pei Hengyu understood. Although Yuwen Junan’s burns were capable of healing on their own, Pei Hengyu had issued an imperial decree ordering Imperial Physician Li to attend to his wounds.
Because Yuwen Junan remained unconscious, he could not be fed medicine. Imperial Physician Li had therefore resorted to a different approach: he prepared medicinal salves and applied them layer by layer to the affected areas. Since the burned area was extensive and the patient was unconscious and confined to bed, there was no need for bandages, and consequently, no one had considered providing him with clothing. A man in a coma knows no shame, and others paid it even less mind; thus, for these past days, Yuwen Junan had not worn so much as a single undergarment.
However, now that he was awake, things were different.
