The imperial doctors trembled with fear and knelt on the ground.

Ji Wuyuan took out Jiang Wantang's rebellious hand from his arms and placed it on the imperial desk.

The imperial physician placed a clean white handkerchief over her hand and began to take her pulse.

During this time, Jiang Wantang kept trying to struggle, but Ji Wuyuan hugged her tightly. Looking at her flushed face, which seemed to be uncomfortable with the heat, his heart was filled with worry and heartache.

Jiang Wantang struggled while murmuring from time to time: "Hot... Your Majesty... It's so hot..."

Ji Wuyuan patted her back gently and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Tang'er, you will be fine soon."

After several imperial doctors took turns feeling the emperor's pulse, their eyes met, their expressions slightly solemn. The leading imperial doctor cautiously reported to Ji Wuyuan, "Your Majesty, the Empress has been poisoned by heat, which has caused her body to feel unbearably hot..."

Ji Wuyuan's face darkened and he asked in a cold voice, "Heat poison?"

"How could he be poisoned by heat?"

"Is there any harm to the body?"

The imperial physician thought for a moment and said, "This is heat poison, not poison, and it will not cause any harm to your body."

"I think it's because Your Majesty has recently consumed a large amount of nourishing soups and medicines. She is too weak to absorb the nourishment, and the excessive nourishment has caused the accumulation of dryness and heat, which has not been relieved."

Ji Wuyuan's brows were furrowed into a line, and his face looked extremely embarrassed.

At this moment, Jiang Wantang in his arms raised his hand and pointed to the bowl of soup beside the table.

Ji Wuyuan understood what he meant and immediately asked the imperial physician to check the soup.

All meals delivered to Taiji Palace will undergo a strict drug testing process and will only be sent in after being confirmed to be safe.

The imperial doctors picked up the soups and began to carefully examine the ingredients and color one by one.

They scooped up a spoonful of soup, held it to their noses and sniffed it again and again, then took out a thin silver needle and inserted it into the soup, repeatedly observing the changes in the needle...

After a thorough examination, the imperial doctors looked at each other, their expressions becoming increasingly complicated and solemn.

Ji Wuyuan asked impatiently: "But what results have been found?"

The leading imperial physician stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this soup is not poisonous, but it contains a large amount of precious tonic and aphrodisiac herbs. Its medicinal properties are quite overbearing. Your Majesty must have contracted a heat poisoning from drinking this soup."

Ji Wuyuan curled the corners of his lips and smiled coldly: "What would happen if a man took it?"

The imperial doctors were all shocked and said tremblingly, "The effect... is no different from an aphrodisiac."

Jiang Wantang was also a little surprised. Although she had guessed that there was something wrong with the soup, she didn't expect that Concubine Jia was not only brave but also smart.

Although they have the same medicinal effects, there is a big difference between tonic soups and aphrodisiacs.

The former is good-intentioned but does bad things, while the latter is drugging, which is a capital crime.

Ji Wuyuan's expression changed immediately, his eyes became deep, paranoid and gloomy.

"Oh, very good..."

In just a few words, the anger was evident.

The coolness emanating from him made Jiang Wantang feel comfortable, and she unconsciously snuggled into his arms again.

Feeling her hot little face pressed against his chest, Ji Wuyuan's body stiffened. Waves of hot breath sprayed on his chest muscles, making him feel itchy.

Jiang Wantang opened his mouth and took a bite with considerable force, causing Ji Wuyuan to groan subconsciously.

The imperial physician kneeling below hurriedly lowered his head to the ground, not daring to breathe, trying his best to reduce his presence.

They lowered their heads as low as they could, almost finding a crack in the jade tiles to crawl into.

Ji Wuyuan held down the troublemaker in his arms and whispered, "Be good and don't move."

The person in his arms seemed dissatisfied with his dominance. Not only did she not listen, but she also nibbled and bit him even more wantonly, without any rules at all.

Ji Wuyuan's face was filled with black lines. He looked at the kneeling imperial doctors and asked coldly, "Is there any quick-acting detoxification method?"

The leading imperial physician wiped his sweat and said in a trembling voice, "The fastest and most effective solution is for Your Majesty to have the Empress sleep with you tonight to relieve this heat and poison."

Ji Wuyuan on the throne was stunned, but Jiang Wantang in her arms curled her lips. This was her chance.

It's an opportunity to pounce on Ji Wuyuan without taking the initiative.

This was a matter of course, but Ji Wuyuan said coldly: "Besides this, is there any other way?"

Now it was the imperial doctors' turn to be stunned. Isn't it normal for the emperor to favor his concubines?

But they didn't dare to say anything more, so they could only say respectfully, "Yes, yes, we will prescribe a heat-clearing and detoxifying prescription for your Majesty to drink."

"It's just that the effect will be worse and slower."

Ji Wuyuan didn't hesitate and said in a deep voice, "Go down and get the medicine."

The imperial doctors felt as if they had been pardoned and quickly stood up and left with their medicine boxes.

At this time, only Ji Wuyuan and Jiang Wantang were left in the huge hall.

Ji Wuyuan lowered his eyes and met Jiang Wantang's eyes full of resentment. He immediately laughed: "Why, Tang'er looks a little disappointed?"

Jiang Wantang started to act like a spoiled brat again, snorted coldly at him, turned away and stopped looking at him.

Finally, she let go of the hand that was causing trouble in his arms, looking very courageous.

Ji Wuyuan looked at her helplessly, feeling a little headache.

He knew that she was not feeling well, but was just craving him out of physical instinct.

But he didn't want to have her just like that.

Therefore, Ji Wuyuan could only patiently coax her softly: "Tang'er, it's not that I don't want to."

"On the contrary, I miss it very much, every night."

Well, I dream about it.

As he spoke, he sighed helplessly: "But, I am serious about you, and I don't want to take advantage of you."

"Tang'er, I not only covet your beauty, I also want your heart."

Ji Wuyuan spoke seriously and cautiously.

Jiang Wantang smiled. She stood up and hooked her arms around Ji Wuyuan's neck, smiling brightly: "Since entering the palace, my heart has been tied to Your Majesty."

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, why not dig out my heart and see for yourself?"

Ji Wuyuan's expression darkened a bit, and he spoke in a very soft voice: "But why do I feel that Tang'er seems to have no heart..."

Jiang Wantang was stunned for a moment, then the smile on her lips deepened. She hugged his neck and said lovingly, "Your Majesty..."

"I am yours, and I can give you everything I have."

Jiang Wantang's inner voice: Except for my heart...

In a direction that Ji Wuyuan couldn't see, Jiang Wantang's eyes were filled with indifference.

After saying that, she staggered to her feet and tried to leave.

Ji Wuyuan grabbed her and asked coldly, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Wantang looked at him with dissatisfaction and said angrily, "Since Your Majesty does not trust me and is unwilling to help me, then I will go back."

"After all, this heat poison is just a little uncomfortable, it won't kill you. I can get through it if I endure it myself."
