Fleeting Moment

The new Imperial Physician carefully examined the unconscious Crown Princess. She laid on the bed, unmoving, except for the steady rise of her chest. Her breathing had returned to normal but her temperature is on the higher side, warning of an impending fever. 

"Your Highness," the Imperial Physician slowly said. He rose from the chair and tucked her wrist back under the blankets.

"What is it?" Yu Zhen demanded. "What happened to my Wangfei?"

"It seems the Crown Princess has either overworked herself or she was under too much stress which resulted in her losing consciousness."

"What?"

Yu Zhen's brows were knitted together in worry. He peered down at Li Xueyue who had not woken up while she was being moved from the private study to the bedroom. He was the one who settled her onto the bed, took off her shoes, her socks, and even fluffed the pillow for her. He had performed the miscellaneous tasks usually done by servants.
