Shang Yue clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his hands, and tried hard to keep himself awake.

He shouted hoarsely, "Someone come."

A secret guard broke in instantly.

"Ah!" Zhao Xuelian screamed in fright.

"Catch her."

After saying this, Shang Yue flew back to the Yangxin Palace.

"Cousin, don't go." Zhao Xuelian shouted in despair.

Unfortunately, Shang Yue's figure disappeared quickly and he didn't hear her shout.

The eunuch saw the emperor staggering towards him and hurried to meet him. Before he could speak, he heard his hoarse voice, "Prepare cold water immediately."

When the eunuch saw his emperor's red eyes and abnormal complexion, his face suddenly changed.

Your Majesty, this looks like Chinese medicine.

He quickly ordered someone to prepare cold water.

Shang Yue was soaked in cold water, his slender hands tightly gripping the edge of the bathtub, trying his best to endure the pain.

Imperial Physician Wu followed the eunuch and hurried to the Yangxin Palace. As soon as he took the patient's pulse, his expression changed.

Someone actually dared to give the emperor an aphrodisiac, and it was an extremely powerful aphrodisiac.

"Your Majesty, this medicine is very strong and there is no antidote."

There are only two ways now: find a woman to solve the problem, or the emperor has to endure it.

The emperor should choose the second one.

.........

When the Queen Mother hurried to Changle Palace, Nan Yan was happily chatting with them because the baby in her belly moved.

"Yan'er, are you okay?"

The Queen Mother walked a few steps towards Nan Yan, frowned, and looked her up and down.

Nan Yan raised her eyes and looked at her, puzzled: "Mother, I'm fine! What's wrong?"

Seeing Nan Yan's expression and the state she saw when she came in just now, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel depressed, "Yan'er, did Xue Lian come to you just now?"

"No, I have not seen Concubine Lian today."

The Queen Mother's face changed. She was deceived and didn't know why she lied to herself and said that Nan Yan was in trouble.

The Queen Mother suppressed her expression, raised her head and said with a smile: "I just had a nightmare, and I feel a little flustered, so I came to see you."

"I'm glad you're okay. I'll go back first."

"Go slowly, mother."

When she turned around, the Queen Mother's expression changed instantly.

Nan Yan looked at the Queen Mother's back. She felt that the Queen Mother was acting strange today and it was definitely not because of a nightmare.

Just as she was about to ask the system what was going on, she heard the system shouting in her mind: [Host, it's not good. Zhao Xuelian tricked the emperor into going to the Cining Palace and gave him a strong aphrodisiac. The emperor has ordered the secret guards to arrest Zhao Xuelian. He has returned to the Yangxin Palace and is soaking in cold water.]

It's winter now. If he keeps soaking in cold water until the effect of the medicine wears off, it might cost him most of his life.

Nan Yan's eyes turned cold, and she hurriedly said to Yin Ling beside her: "Send me to the Yangxin Palace immediately." If there wasn't someone in the palace, she would have asked the system to send her there.

Seeing that she was so anxious and not knowing what had happened, Yin Ling immediately arranged for someone to send her to the Yangxin Palace.

Because Nan Yan was pregnant, the sedan chair moved very slowly. Nan Yan couldn't wait any longer and urged, "Hurry up."

Yin Ling said worriedly, "My Lady, please hurry up or the baby in your belly won't be able to handle it."

"It's okay, hurry up."

Seeing Nan Yan's insistence, Yin Ling asked the people carrying the sedan chair to go faster, "Faster."

Nan Yan got off the sedan chair and walked hurriedly towards the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

"Your Majesty, don't go in now, Your Majesty..." Wang Dequan was interrupted by Nan Yan before he could finish his words, "I want to go in now."

Wang Dequan couldn't stop Nan Yan and could only watch her go in.

When Nan Yan went in, she saw Shang Yue soaking in cold water with his teeth clenched. Veins bulged on his exposed skin, his face was red, and there was even sweat on his head, which showed how much pain he was in.

Nan Yan felt heartbroken instantly.

"Ayue..."

Shang Yue regained some sanity, opened his red eyes, looked at Nan Yan who was walking over, gritted his teeth and said, "Yan'er, get out."

He was afraid that he would hurt Yan'er.

Nan Yan saw how painful he was and asked the system, "Tongzi, can you help me get rid of Shang Yue's drug effects?"

[Host, just go over and hold the emperor's hand. ]

"Yan'er, don't come over here, go away!"

Nan Yan ignored Shang Yue's words, walked over and held Shang Yue's hand which was placed beside the bathtub.

"Yan'er, don't touch me."

Shang Yue originally wanted to break free, but he was a little weak due to the torture of the medicine, and he couldn't get rid of Nan Yan's hand at all. He was even reluctant to shake it off and wanted to have more contact.

After a moment, he felt the impulse and heat in his body disappear little by little.

After a while, the heat in Shang Yue's body completely disappeared.

Nan Yan saw that his eyes had regained clarity and asked quickly, "Ayue, how do you feel now?"

"Yan'er, I'm fine." Shang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that soaking in cold water had counteracted the effects of the medicine.

The system is indeed reliable.

"Then come out quickly."

Shang Yue's inner clothes were soaked through, so he changed them and wrung out his hair.

He is a little weak now and can't even use his internal strength.

As soon as Nan Yan touched his body, she felt a chill, and she let the man lie down on the bed.

"Yan'er, why are you here?" The man's voice was still a little weak.

"My mother came to my palace just now. She seemed a little strange. She asked me a few questions and then left in a hurry. I felt something was wrong, so I hurried over to find you."

Shang Yue's face was extremely pale now. Nan Yan looked worried and pulled the quilt to wrap him tightly. "Ayue, you take a rest first. We'll talk about the rest after you wake up."

Perhaps Shang Yue was tortured too much by the drug and soon fell asleep.

The Queen Mother hurried to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

When she returned to the Cining Palace and heard people in the palace say that Shang Yue went to the side hall and left in a hurry, and had Zhao Xuelian tied up, she guessed what Zhao Xuelian had done.

When she arrived, Doctor Wu was just finishing taking Shang Yue's pulse.

Fortunately, after the effect of the medicine wore off, his body was no longer in danger.

"Yan'er, it's all my fault that I didn't stop her from entering the palace, so she had the opportunity to take advantage of it."

The Queen Mother felt extremely guilty when she looked at her son who was sleeping with a pale face, and Nan Yan who was pregnant and looked worried beside her.

Nan Yan took the Queen Mother's hand and comforted her: "Mother, don't blame yourself. How can you be blamed for this matter? You are just too worried about me."

This matter can only be blamed on Zhao Xuelian who took advantage of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's concern for her.

With Nan Yan's comfort, the Queen Mother felt less guilty.

In the middle of the night, Shang Yue developed a high fever.

After tossing and turning all night, his fever finally subsided.

He definitely cannot attend the morning court today, so I can only inform all the court officials that the Emperor is ill and let the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister preside over today's morning court.

It was not until noon that Shang Yue woke up.

Nan Yan fell asleep on the soft couch beside her.

Shang Yue looked at her tired face and knew that she must not have gotten enough rest last night because she was worried about him.

He felt distressed but more touched.
