Heart and Soul

A few days went by in the blink of an eye, and soon, it was the day of the Round Table Discussion. Li Xueyue had woken up earlier than Yu Zhen, for she wasn't able to sleep the entire night. But that wasn't what bothered her the most. 

She had an upset stomach all night long, and when the morning came, everything spiraled out of control. 

Her dinner from the previous night came back up and she threw up first thing in the morning. The sound instantly startled Yu Zhen awake. He shot up from bed, holding back her hair before calling for a maidservant to fetch the Imperial Physician.

"No!" she protested whilst sharply turning to the maidservant. "I'm fine, just clean up this mess."

The maidservant worriedly glanced at the Crown Prince, uncertain of who she should obey. His Highness had always instructed every single servant that the Crown Princess's orders were the final…but now that they had contradicting orders, who should she follow?
