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

Lu Yan leaned against the edge of the carriage, his eyes half closed. Sleepiness came over him in waves like the tide, making his consciousness gradually blurred and confused.

Despite this, the last bit of his rationality still kept him going, and he reminded himself not to fall asleep in front of the emperor.

However, at this moment, a hand suddenly reached out and gently pulled, causing Lu Yan, who was already a little shaky, to lose his balance and involuntarily fall to the side. He fell right into Yicheng's arms.

Lu Yan suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at Yicheng in astonishment. All sleepiness disappeared instantly and he just wanted to sit up straight and get out of this embarrassing situation.

Unexpectedly, before he could make any move, Yicheng pulled his arm back, hugged him tightly, and whispered, "Sleep with me."

At this moment, Lu Yan froze completely. Not only did he not dare to move an inch, he even dared not breathe.

Although he had no recollection of what happened after he got drunk last night, he remembered bumping into Yicheng when he went out.

I was afraid that I had said something I shouldn't have said or done something I shouldn't have done. Now that the other person was forcing me to sleep on his legs, how could I possibly sleep?

Lu Yan's heartbeat became more and more rapid. He didn't dare to move and could only pretend to sleep.

Yicheng looked down at the person in his arms, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He leaned close to Lu Yan's ear and whispered, "Do you know what you said to me last night..." Yicheng paused deliberately, observing Lu Yan's reaction.

Lu Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he thought to himself, "Oh no!", wondering if he had said anything wrong.

Seeing this, Yicheng continued: "You said that you like me..."

Lu Yan was shocked when he heard this, and the sleepyhead disappeared without a trace.

He sat up immediately, and the emperor did not stop him. He stared at Yicheng with wide eyes in disbelief, his face full of embarrassment and panic.

At this moment, he only felt that his face was burning hot.

"I... I'm going to go outside to get some fresh air." Lu Yan stuttered, his voice full of obvious panic. His eyes flickered, as if he didn't dare to look Yi Cheng in the eye, and his body involuntarily moved towards the door of the carriage, as if there was something there that could make him feel at ease.

However, Yicheng did not give him this opportunity. He quickly reached out and grabbed Lu Yan's arm tightly, pulling him back into his arms.

Lu Yan was caught off guard and lost his balance all of a sudden, and could only fall into Yicheng's arms.

At this moment, Lu Yan was like a captured bird, completely unable to break free from Yi Cheng's restraints.

His cheek was pressed against Yicheng's broad chest, and he felt the other's strong breath and heartbeat. He couldn't help but blush and his heartbeat quickened.

And those originally confused eyes now became even more at a loss, like a frightened deer, not daring to look at the person who was hugging him.

Yicheng hugged Lu Yan tightly, with no intention of letting go.

His arms were as strong as iron clamps, making Lu Yan unable to move at all. Such close contact made the atmosphere between the two people extremely ambiguous and awkward, but at the same time it also revealed an indescribable attraction.

Lu Yan hurriedly explained, "I drank too much and don't remember what I said."

"Oh?" Yicheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and there was a subtle hint of danger in his tone. He said softly: "Could it be that what you said last night was all drunken nonsense? Do you actually have no feelings for me at all?"

Lu Yan's heart tightened and his eyes dodged, as if he didn't dare to look directly at the person in front of him. He lowered his head and responded in a slightly low voice: "No... I have no such intention. It's just that I know very well that it is a great blessing to have the honor of serving Your Majesty in this harem. How dare I ask for more? I don't want to be someone that Your Majesty hates..." At the end, his voice became increasingly weak, almost inaudible.

Yicheng's heart couldn't help but ache for him. Everyone in the harem worshipped him, relying on his status as emperor.

When Xuan Yichen heard Lu Yan's confession, he felt that it was reasonable, but at the same time he couldn't help but wonder if the other party also wanted to gain something from him.

Lu Yan stopped talking, and Xuan Yichen did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he put his arms around Lu Yan's waist and back, hugging him tightly, and with his other hand, he exerted force under his knees and held him in his arms.

Lu Yan, who was not petite, had no power to resist in his arms.

Lu Yan's body was a little stiff, and he didn't move in the other person's arms. He didn't know what the other person meant, and he didn't dare to ask him at this time.

"arrive."

The carriage slowly stopped, and the wheels squeaked as they rubbed against the ground.

Lu Yan's face was as pale as paper and his heartbeat was accelerating rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

He couldn't wait to push open the door and get out, fleeing from the carriage like a frightened rabbit, his steps staggering and even a little weak.

As soon as he landed, Lu Yan felt that he could hardly stand and his body was shaking.

Fortunately, Xuan Yichen was quick-witted and quickly reached out to hug his slender waist, pulling him tightly into his arms.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Yichen took Lu Yan back to the palace where Lu Yan was without hesitation.

After entering the palace, Xuan Yicheng said directly: "I will take a bath and change clothes here." His tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

Lu Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward to serve. After Xuan Yicheng finished bathing, changed into clean clothes and went to the imperial study, Lu Yan finally felt relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then he sat down in the palace without rushing to change his clothes.

"Sir, would you like to take a shower and change your clothes first?"

Yu Rou had been taking care of Lu Yan's daily life. Now that the emperor was gone, Lu Yan finally relaxed. "Well, go get ready."

The hot water was already prepared, and Lu Yan just needed to walk in.

Lu Yan walked into the bathtub, soaked in the hot water, and tried to calm himself down.

He closed his eyes, recalling the conversation he had just had with Yicheng in the carriage, his mind in a mess.

What exactly did Xuan Yicheng mean? Was he serious or joking about what he said? The more Lu Yan thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He couldn't help but slap the water with his hands.

Yu Rou came in and saw this scene, and asked worriedly: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Yan shook his head and said nothing. Yu Rou sighed, silently helped him prepare some clothes for changing, and then left.

Lu Yan came out of the bathtub, put on his clothes, and walked to the window.

He looked at the scenery outside the window, and his mood still couldn't calm down.

He knew what kind of feelings he had for Yicheng, but he didn't know what Yicheng thought of him.

Just then, he heard footsteps outside, followed by a knock on the door. Lu Yan's heartbeat suddenly quickened. He didn't know who was coming, so he walked over nervously to open the door.
