After dealing with the prince, the emperor hurried to check on Xu Lingyi.
Just one look at her and his heart was broken.
Her cheeks were swollen, there was blood around her ears and mouth, and her face was abnormally flushed.
The emperor covered Xu Lingyi with his shawl and carefully picked her up.
"Go find the doctor and the imperial physician quickly."
This place is far away from the capital, and the imperial physician cannot come so quickly.
The emperor could only settle for the second best and seek help from a common doctor.
The aphrodisiac the prince had given her was very powerful, and its effects had already taken effect on Xu Lingyi.
The emperor couldn't bear it when he saw the woman in his arms with a look of pain on her face.
"Yier, be good and bear with it. The doctor will be here soon." The emperor coaxed her softly as if he were coaxing a child.
After all, Xu Lingyi was given medicine. If she didn't know the side effects of the medicine, she might wonder whether it would cause harm to her body.
The emperor did not dare to take it lightly.
The doctor came quickly.
Normally, it would take at least half an hour for him to get here at his age, but these people directly carried him onto the horse and galloped away on its back.
After he got off the horse, before he had time to catch his breath and vomit properly, he was carried in again to see a doctor.
The old doctor has been practicing medicine for decades, but this is the first time he has seen such an extraordinary and noble man.
He was amazed in his heart, but when he stepped forward to feel the man's pulse, he noticed the petite woman in his arms.
The doctor stood there in a daze.
Even though Xu Lingyi's face was swollen, the doctor could still see that she was a peerless woman.
"Let's see how she is doing?" the emperor said hurriedly. "She seems to have been drugged."
The doctor stepped forward to examine it and nodded, "It's Huanqing Powder. This medicine is very potent. It's very difficult for this lady to hold on until now. We need to remove the drug as soon as possible."
"Is there an antidote?" the emperor asked anxiously.
Then he continued, "Is this medicine harmful to her body?"
"Huanqingsan is just an ordinary aphrodisiac. Brothel owners often use it on disobedient prostitutes. These women are of low status, so no doctor would prescribe the corresponding antidote."
The emperor's face turned pale when he heard this, and his fists clenched tightly under his sleeves, making a creaking sound.
He suppressed his anger, but still looked terrifying and sinister.
The doctor was a little frightened and said quickly: "But don't worry, as long as you and this lady... we can overcome the effects of this medicine, and there won't be too many side effects."
