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

When Lu Yan woke up the next day, the emperor had already left. He raised his hand and touched his lips involuntarily, and the feeling seemed to still linger on his lips.

Even though nothing was done in the end, just a kiss was enough to disturb his mind.

He also remembered that the other person said something in his ear before he fell asleep, but he couldn't remember exactly what he said.

Lu Yan tried hard to recall what happened last night, but he couldn't remember what the emperor said. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. This mystery had been lingering in his mind, and he couldn't let it go.

In addition, the matter of selecting a concubine and the empress dowager watching from behind made Lu Yan somewhat annoyed.

In the next few days, Lu Yan was always a little absent-minded.

He tried to distract himself by working, but the vague voice kept echoing in his ears, disturbing him.

Finally, one night, when Lu Yan was walking alone in the courtyard of the imperial palace, the voice rang in his ears again. This time, he heard clearly what the emperor said: "Give me a little more time."

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, with a complex emotion surging in his heart.

He didn't know what this sentence meant, a promise or something else. But at this moment, he decided to trust his intuition and wait for further developments.

'What on earth does he mean? ' Lu Yan hated studying other people's minds the most, so since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it.

But it didn't take long for Lu Yan to find out the reason.

It turned out that even with the Queen Mother in charge, the selection of a concubine had to be delayed for a while when foreign envoys came to visit. After all, such a national event required long-term planning.

Lu Yan has a very high status in the harem, and even important matters such as the emperor's selection of a concubine would be entrusted to him by the empress dowager.

As a result, when the foreigners came to visit, in addition to the official business in the court, Lu Yan would naturally have to take care of and arrange the banquet in the evening to entertain them.

At the same time, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. At least for the time being, he didn't have to be forced to choose a concubine for his lover.

Although he didn't know how the court's reception would be, Lu Yan naturally had to prepare for the reception banquet in the evening.

The emperor received the foreigners at the court, while Lu Yan was busy arranging people to make preparations.

Lu Yan was only able to see these people at night. The emperor sat in the main seat, followed by him and two concubines on the emperor's left, and the emperor's brothers on the right.

The Queen Mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so she did not come this time.

Below them are the court officials and their families.

Lu Yan looked at the foreigners who came in. Their clothes and accessories were very distinctive.

Just one glance caught Lu Yan's attention, and he learned that the people coming this time were their two princes Muhammad and Ivan.

The two of them look extremely similar, with high noses, deep eyes, dark skin, and well-defined, neatly curved eyebrows.

However, their eyes are deep and bright, and their lips are rosy, plump and slightly upturned.

Most of them were slender and well-proportioned with soft lines, and Lu Yan couldn't help but take a few more glances at them.

Lu Yan began to prepare for the dinner. He carefully selected the dishes and drinks and arranged wonderful singing and dancing performances. After they met at the beginning, they sat in the arranged seats.

Without any unnecessary movement, Lu Yan withdrew his gaze and no longer paid attention to them.

As night fell, the palace was brightly lit. After the foreign envoys had taken their seats one after another, the emperor arrived in person. The atmosphere was warm and solemn.

His eyes swept over the emperor from time to time, following his figure. After he sat down, Lu Yan sat down with him.

The dance music was melodious and everyone was laughing. Lu Yan and the emperor looked at each other, and seeing the deep meaning in each other's eyes, Lu Yan turned away a little embarrassedly.

Whenever he saw him, Lu Yan would think of the kiss that day. Apparently, the other party also thought of it, with a smile on his face.

However, at this moment, an accident happened. A foreign envoy suddenly stood up and made a special request to the emperor...

"Your Majesty, we are here for a friendly exchange and a request," said Muhammad. "We hope to form a marriage alliance with your country to enhance the friendship between our two countries."

The emperor frowned slightly and looked at Lu Yan, as if asking for his opinion. But Lu Yan knew that his opinion was not important.

Lu Yan's heart tightened. He certainly didn't want the emperor to agree to this request. He was about to speak when he was interrupted by another voice.

"Our marriage with your country is with the current prince, Prince An." Ivan stood up and said with a smile.

The emperor and Lu Yan were both surprised. They didn't expect Ivan to take the initiative to propose a marriage, and the marriage partner was Prince An.

"Why is it Prince An? He didn't even come to the banquet today. Lu Yan hasn't even met this person yet. The person he just proposed to marry is Prince An." Lu Yan frowned.

"Could it be that they have met before?" Lu Yan had some guesses, but now was not the time to ask these questions.

Muhammad smiled with satisfaction and looked at the emperor, waiting for his reply.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since the prince is so sincere, then I naturally have no reason to refuse. However, Prince An is not here, so I cannot decide on his marriage."

"However, you can stay for a few days. I will inform Prince An."

Lu Yan watched all this with mixed feelings. He didn't know why they made such a decision.

Although the marriage did not seem to be finalized, there was no reason to refuse it under the current circumstances, and the following dinner became a little dull.

Lu Yan drank silently, his thoughts in a mess.

After the dinner, Lu Yan returned to his bedroom, still thinking about what had just happened.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he wanted to ask the emperor for clarification, but people from the harem were not allowed to participate in politics, and if he asked rashly, it would definitely leave a bad impression.

However, before Lu Yan could ask, the other party took the initiative to speak.

The emperor rested in Lu Yan's palace again. He said, "The marriage is related to the relationship between the two countries. We cannot act rashly. I will send someone to investigate it."

Lu Yan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, I think we should closely monitor the actions of foreign envoys."

The emperor remained silent. Lu Yan wondered if he had said too much, and immediately responded, "I have crossed the line. It is my fault."

The emperor helped Lu Yan up and said, "It's okay. Just do as you say."

A few days later, the emperor summoned Prince An and asked him about his opinion on the marriage.

Prince An expressed his willingness to consider it, which surprised Lu Yan. He originally thought that Prince An would refuse, after all, he had never heard that Prince An was interested in marriage. It seemed that there must be something they didn't know.
