Harper fell ill as soon as she entered the Imperial Palace.

At first, they thought that Harper had fallen into a coma because of her weak body. However, she had a high fever and her whole body was burning hot. The maids-in-waiting panicked and immediately reported this to the emperor.

The imperial physicians went in and out, but Harper's high fever still didn't subside. No matter what they did, they couldn't reduce her fever.

"What nonsense!" The emperor was so angry that he smashed a few items at hand. "What ails Harper exactly?"

"Your Majesty, Her Highness is too weak, and she has eaten something too nutritious for her weak body to digest, resulting in a high fever. For now, we can only attempt to bring down her temperature. If her fever continues to rage, we are afraid..." The imperial physician trailed off as he looked carefully at the emperor's eyes. "I'm afraid she will suffer brain damage."

The emperor's eyes twinkled slightly. "Will her life be in danger?"

"Probably not."

"Probably not? What do you mean?" The emperor grabbed the teacup and smashed it on the floor. No matter whether Harper's body or brain would suffer damage or not, she must be kept alive. If Harper died... A frightening prospect occurred to the emperor, in which Matthew and Kevin colluded against him together. In such a crisis, it would be doubtful that the emperor could maintain his grip on the state.

"Her Highness is weak and has a high fever. If something goes wrong, she may die. Brain-fever may be the limit of her illness if she is lucky, but if she is not lucky..."

"Lucky!" The emperor was so furious that he threw another cup against the imperial physici

thing for a moment. I... I was very scared."

Harper smiled weakly. "Thank you for your concern, Shawn. I will be fine."

"I'm very glad to hear it," Shawn said and helped Harper lie down. "You haven't eaten for a few days. You must be hungry. I'll arrange a meal for you."

Harper looked at Shawn, who was running away in embarrassment. She was confused and wondered if the person she had seen in a daze in the past few days was just Shawn. But why was Shawn the one taking care of her by her bedside all this time? Hadn't she been brought into the Imperial Palace by the emperor?

An imperial physician came in with the medicine. "How are you feeling, Your Highness?"

"I feel much better."

"That's excellent. If you hadn't overcome your fever, we would all have paid for it with our lives." The imperial physician quickly asked a maid to feed Harper the medicine. "His Majesty ordered him to guard the Purple Palace. If something happened to you, he would have us all killed. You know, Marquis Shawn's blade is very sharp."

"Well, isn't Her Highness all right? Don't talk about those things." Another old imperial physician instantly interrupted him. "Her Highness is weak and has had a long and high fever. She needs proper care."

The old imperial physician checked her pulse again. Every time he checked it, he could hardly believe it. Harper was so weak at first that her pulse was almost imperceptible, but after this recovery, her pulse had begun to beat vigorously. Although she was still a little weak, she was obviously getting better, and the speed was astonishing.

"Congratulations, Your Highness. You will be much better after taking a long rest."
