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

"I'm a grown man, but I have to be guarded so strictly. It must be because of my father!" Lu Yan's mind was as clear as a mirror. Although his father was a prince of a different surname.

But there is still a certain threat to the current emperor. After all, emperors have always been suspicious of each other since ancient times, and Lu Yan is very clear about this.

"Oh, this is great! Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea! It's easy to get in, but hard to get out." Lu Yan couldn't help but frown, and muttered with a worried look on his face: "I really don't want to be scheming and fighting with these women in the harem, making myself like a woman!"

"Forget it, forget it. I'll be thankful as long as they don't come to provoke me..." He knew very well that the emperor would stay here for three days.

The seeds of resentment have been successfully planted in the hearts of the two women. Although she or he cannot conceive the emperor's child, it is not necessarily a blessing to be favored by the emperor.

Lu Yan stared quietly at the palace in front of him. Although it was crowded with people, for some reason, there was an indescribable cold atmosphere in the air.

"Hongning Palace." Lu Yan whispered the name of the palace, and then raised his eyes to look at the plaque hanging high.

It is said that the name of this hall was decided by the emperor himself, but Lu Yan did not pay much attention to or interest in it.

Lu Yan was about to turn around and go in when he suddenly heard footsteps. He looked back and saw a group of palace maids escorting a beautiful woman.

The beauty has a graceful figure and pretty face, but there is a hint of sharpness in her eyes.

When she saw Lu Yan, she stopped, looked him up and down, and sneered, "So you are the emperor's new concubine. You look good, but..." Then she changed the subject, "Don't think you can get the emperor's favor just by entering the palace. In this palace, you can't survive just by relying on your looks."

"System, who is this woman?" Lu Yan stared at her face. A feeling of déjà vu came to his mind, as if he had met her once before in the depths of his memory.

"She is the emperor's sister, Xuan Shi Ruan, and is titled Princess Ruyang." The system's answer was as fast as an arrow, hitting the bull's eye. "She seems to be quite familiar with a certain concubine, and she must have heard about you from there."

Lu Yan's heart moved, as if a flash of lightning flashed across the dark night sky. He finally understood the source of this familiar feeling. She looked very similar to the emperor.

He became more curious about Princess Ruyang, but Lu Yan felt unhappy. The other party's sly tone made him feel bad.

But he still kept smiling and said calmly: "Princess, you are right. I am new here. If I have done anything wrong, I hope you will forgive me."

The beauty snorted. She didn't expect Lu Yan to be so easy to talk to. She had always been quite dissatisfied with the fact that Lu Yan, as a man, was allowed to enter the harem.

But seeing that the other party was neither humble nor arrogant, I seemed a little willful and capricious.

Seeing the other person looking up, Lu Yan thought that she was just a young girl, so he turned around and ordered, "Yu Rou, bring the things on the table over."

"Your Highness, this is a snack carefully prepared by the maid. Although it is not as good as the chef's work in the imperial kitchen, it also has its own unique flavor. I hope it will be favored by the princess." Lu Yan felt a little sour at his own flowery words, but his expression remained unchanged.

Lu Yan thought that since the princess had not yet married, it was inconvenient to let anyone enter the palace, so he had to send someone to prepare some snacks and sit in the pavilion outside for the princess to enjoy.

Princess Ruyang lived in the palace since she was a child. She had no sisters by her side, only her brother.

Because he lacked playmates since childhood, his life was a little lonely.

So the situation changed after the emperor got married and took in two concubines. From then on, Princess Ruyang often met with these two concubines.

And since hearing that the emperor and Lu Yan got married, they always stayed at Lu Yan's place. Hearing this news, Princess Ruyang couldn't help but feel indignant for the two concubines and sisters-in-law, and wanted to find an opportunity to give Lu Yan a warning.

However, he did not expect that the opposite would happen. When facing Lu Yan, he was easily rebuffed by him with just a few words and failed to achieve his wish.

Not only that, Lu Yan also specially prepared exquisite and delicious cakes for her. This move surprised Princess Ruyang secretly.

It turns out that this person is not as bad as they said.

Princess Ruyang left with the palace maids. Lu Yan looked at her from behind and secretly sighed in his heart: The struggle in the palace was indeed more complicated than he had imagined.

"It's really troublesome."

Lu Yan frowned. He had just started to attack his target and so many people came to him. When would he be able to complete the task?

Unexpectedly, the emperor stayed in Hongning Palace again at night.

When Lu Yan learned the news, he made preparations in advance.

After entering the harem, Lu Yan's hands and feet were more or less restricted.

"I will help His Majesty bathe."

"Ah."

In a place that Lu Yan didn't notice, the emperor looked at Lu Yan with a strange look for a moment.

Not only did the emperor feel strange, Lu Yan himself also felt uncomfortable. He was used to being free and unrestrained, and he was somewhat not used to being asked to be obedient and well-behaved all of a sudden.

The servants had already prepared hot water, and Lu Yan undressed the emperor.

The emperor stepped into the bath, closed his eyes and enjoyed the soak in the warm water.

At this time, all the people who usually served him had gone out, leaving only Lu Yan and the emperor here.

At this time, the emperor suddenly asked, "Have you seen Ruyang today?" It was obvious that he had already learned that the other party had been there.

Lu Yan was startled and almost dropped the towel in his hand. He lowered his head and replied, "Yes, the princess passed by and I said hello."

The emperor raised his lips slightly, as if he knew what he meant by "passing by". "She has always been spoiled by me. If she has offended me, please forgive her."

"The princess is a beautiful woman, how dare I blame her?" Lu Yan said, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart.

The emperor opened his eyes and looked at Lu Yan, with a barely perceptible emotion flashing in his eyes, "Do you know why I chose you to enter the palace?"

Lu Yan's heart tightened. Of course he didn't know. Wasn't it because of his father? And he changed his marriage partner. He hesitated for a moment and answered carefully: "I don't know."

The emperor smiled and said, "Because you look very much like an old friend I knew before." After saying that, the emperor said no more and continued to close his eyes and rest.

Lu Yan was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask more. He wiped the emperor's body silently, but his mind was full of thoughts. Who is this old friend? What is his relationship with him? It seems that there are still many unknown secrets hidden in this palace.

'It's impossible for me to become a substitute again. ' Lu Yan thought inappropriately.
