Most likely the engine won't run for very long regardless. In the worst case, it may even require the entire fuel system to be replaced.

What to do if adblue is put in to a diesel car - The best course of action is to drain the fuel tank and flush the fuel system with clean diesel fuel and other safe fuel system cleaning products. This will ensure that all of the AdBlue is removed or as much as possible, so that the fuel system is not damaged. However if the vehicle has been started you may need additional work, so that any damage caused by the AdBlue can be repaired.

How is it even possible for someone to add adblue to their fuel tank - It is possible for someone to accidentally add AdBlue to their fuel tank if they don’t know or are not paying attention to what they are doing. AdBlue containers are typically marked with a blue label which has AdBlue printed on the label, some fuel stations also supply AdBlue directly at the pump, with the nozzle looking similar to a diesel fuel nozzle. If a person is not paying attention, they may accidentally fill their diesel tank with AdBlue instead.
