The Emperor's thoughts were interrupted when he felt something was odd with Lei Xing. Now that he was fully awake, he realized that Lei Xing's face was looking pale and burning hot. He felt on other parts of her body and found it to be burning hot as well. There was also the weird fact that she was not sweating at all despite being so hot.
The Emperor tried calling to her and shaking her awake but she was completely unresponsive. No reaction at all, not even the usual frown that came with any slight disturbance of her sleep. He became worried and so immediately got up and swiftly put on his clothes and went to rush out to get help. But then he stopped short of the doors and turned back to the bed and properly covered her body.
He went out to the courtyard and the two men guarding the area quickly came up to him. He instructed them to get Doctor Lou and then went back to the room to wait, while worriedly looking at the unresponsive Lei Xing on the bed.
