Quick time travel: The system wants me to save the sick girl

He first gently opened the medicine box, took out the exquisite small porcelain bottle inside, then slowly unscrewed the lid, and a faint herbal aroma immediately wafted out.

Then he dipped a little ointment with his fingertips, his movements gentle and cautious, as if he was holding a rare treasure in his hands.

Finally, he carefully applied the ointment to the injured area, massaging it gently as he applied it so that the medicinal properties could penetrate better.

Throughout the whole process, his eyes were focused and gentle, as if he was treating the person he loved most.

Yicheng stared at Lu Yan motionlessly. Seeing how seriously he was applying medicine to him, he couldn't help but cough twice.

Lu Yan's heart tightened, and he wondered if he had just used too much force.

He didn't dare to look up, for fear of seeing the other person's painful expression, and said softly, "Sorry, I'll try to be gentler." His words were full of guilt, as if he was a child who had done something wrong and was at a loss.

"Nothing." Yicheng replied, looking at Lu Yan's expression, he couldn't help but add, "It doesn't hurt."

But Lu Yan knew that it would be painful if he was injured. "Who are they?"

The person Lu Yan was questioning was the one who stopped them today. He thought to himself: Given his unknown identity, these people should have nothing to do with him. So, their target was obviously Yicheng.

Yicheng seemed to realize this as well and said softly, "Maybe it's my enemy."

Lu Yan did not continue to ask questions after hearing this, because he knew that if the other party was unwilling to talk more, it would be futile to force the question. Everyone has their own secrets and difficulties, and sometimes keeping a proper silence can show respect for others.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Lu Yan carefully applied the ointment to him, then slowly stood up. He looked down at the injured man and said softly, "You take good care of yourself, I'll go back first." After saying that, he frowned slightly, seeming a little worried.

The other party just responded softly: "Yeah." The voice was low and weak, which made people feel pity.

Lu Yan hesitated for a moment, but eventually turned around and left. When he reached the door, he stopped, looked back at the person lying on the bed, and secretly prayed that he would recover soon.

As the door slowly closed, the room fell into silence.

Yicheng stared at Lu Yan's receding back without saying a word, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

At the same time, Lu Yan returned to the palace. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't wait to find Yan Feng and told him everything that happened tonight. After listening, Yan Feng frowned tightly and said to Lu Yan with a worried look on his face: "Try to go out less in the future. Although those people are not targeting you, what if they accidentally hurt you?" He knew that the world was dangerous and people's hearts were unpredictable. Any accident could bring unpredictable consequences.

Lu Yan understood Yan Feng’s worries, but if there was a next time, he would still go out.

I just don’t know how Yicheng is doing.

Although Yan Feng tried to dissuade him earnestly, Lu Yan still insisted on going out the next day.

He was always thinking about Yicheng's injuries. After all, most of Yicheng's injuries in that fierce battle were caused by protecting him.

Lu Yan was worried and decided to go and visit him in person to find out what his condition was.

However, at this moment, he didn't know where Yicheng was - was he staying with Changshu to recover? Or had he returned to his casino? For a moment, Lu Yan had no way of judging.

After a little thought, he decided to go to Changshu's casino first to find out.

"I must find out who did this!" Changshu changed his usual smiling and amiable appearance and stared at Yicheng with a serious expression.

"But it's not him..." The words came to his lips but he swallowed them back. However, the two of them knew each other tacitly - the person they were thinking of was Lu Yan.

"It can't be him!" Yi Cheng answered firmly, the scene of what he encountered with that man yesterday kept emerging in his mind. With his understanding and trust in him, Yi Cheng firmly believed that this was definitely not Lu Yan's doing.

"I will assign more people to continue the investigation." Chang Shu stated.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Lu Yan is here!"

Yicheng was too seriously injured to move easily, so he had to stay with Changshu for treatment. When Lu Yan arrived, Changshu was also there.

"Let me take a look at your wound." Lu Yan said as he walked towards Yicheng.

Changshu and Lu Yan had not seen each other for a long time, and he was very surprised to hear Lu Yan speak. He stared at Lu Yan with wide eyes and curiosity, as if he had seen something strange.

"You've recovered well. You can speak so soon." Changshu and the others had only not seen each other for a few months.

To others, this was just a few months, but to Lu Yan, it seemed like a long time. From childhood until now, he was finally able to express his thoughts and emotions without any hindrance.

Looking at everything in front of him, Lu Yan was filled with emotion. He nodded silently, indicating that he had understood the deep meaning. All his efforts and persistence during this period of time have been rewarded, and the achievements at this moment also made him cherish them even more.

I thought about how I had practiced very hard every day in order to be able to speak complete sentences, without anyone knowing.

After seeing the other party's injuries, Lu Yan returned to the palace as soon as possible.

Fearing that staying outside for too long would attract attention and expose his identity, he hurried back to the palace.

However, just as he returned to his courtyard, a waiter stepped forward quickly and reported respectfully: "Sir, the prince wants to see you, please go to the study."

Hearing this, his heart tightened and he secretly wondered why his father summoned him at this time.

With a heart full of doubts and a little nervousness, he turned and walked towards his father's study. Along the way, his thoughts surged like a tide, and all kinds of speculations came to his mind...

He has always been unknown in the palace, and now that he has been suddenly summoned, it must be hard to predict whether it will be a blessing or a curse.

Lu Yan followed the guard silently. The study was already within reach. He stopped for a while and the people inside allowed him to enter.

He glanced at the open door, paused, and walked in ahead of time.

Looking at his father whom he had not seen for a long time, Ruyuan bowed and said, "Father."

"Can you speak?" The prince asked casually, obviously not caring whether Lu Yan could speak or not.
