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

After the meeting, Xuan Yicheng and Lu Yan began to discuss the specific defense plan.

They decided to add more beacon towers along the border, strengthen vigilance, and allocate more troops to garrison.

Lu Yan turned around and went back into the palace, secretly thinking about what had just happened.

According to palace rules, people in the harem were strictly forbidden to interfere in state affairs, but today he made an exception and said a few more words, which undoubtedly violated palace etiquette and laws.

Lu Yan knew very well that this behavior had already broken the rules, and if he continued to pester her, it would probably cause more trouble.

So he decided not to say anything more to avoid bringing himself greater crisis. He bowed to the emperor to express his apology and left in a hurry.

Especially it is difficult to explain to the Queen Mother.

After returning to the palace, Lu Yan was still in an extremely heavy mood, but deep in his heart, he was concerned about national affairs and the welfare of the people, so he couldn't stand idly by and stay out of it.

Caught between contradictions and entanglements, Lu Yan felt helpless and painful: on the one hand, he was worried about being punished or retaliated for crossing the line; on the other hand, he felt guilty if he did not speak up.

"I don't know what Xuan Yicheng will decide." Lu Yan frowned. "It seems that this battle is inevitable."

System: "Yes, this battle is inevitable."

Lu Yan paced back and forth in the bedroom with a frown on his face.

He understood that this war was related to the safety of the country and the life and death of the people, and as a subject, he should help his master solve his problems.

However, he was also aware of his identity and status, and that excessive involvement in political affairs might bring him unexpected dangers.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded again: "Host, you don't have to worry too much. Xuan Yicheng will make the decision. You just need to do your part."

Lu Yan stopped and took a deep breath: "I know, but I still can't help but worry. The outcome of this war will affect the fate of too many people."

"It's already difficult for Xuan Yichen to sit in this position." Lu Yan held his forehead, suffering from a terrible headache.

The system was silent for a moment and then said: "Your worries are not without reason. However, you can think from another angle. There may be other ways to resolve this crisis."

Lu Yan's eyes lit up: "What ideas do you have? Tell me quickly."

The system said slowly: "As far as I know, the military strength of our neighboring countries is not as strong as yours. Perhaps, we can try to resolve the dispute through diplomatic means to avoid the outbreak of war."

Lu Yan pondered for a moment: "This is a feasible plan. But it may not be easy to implement..."

"They are vicious by nature, so it might be difficult to negotiate with them." Lu Yan had heard of them. They had a bad reputation, so it would not be easy to negotiate with them.

Lu Yan tried his best not to mention this matter again.

Xuan Yichen has been in the imperial study these days and rests there at night. He has not come to Lu Yan's palace for several days.

"It seems that this matter is indeed quite tricky!" Lu Yan thought to himself.

There was a small and exquisite kitchen in the palace where he lived. The reason why this small kitchen was set up in the first place was entirely because Jing Heng was greedy.

However, it has brought great convenience to Lu Yan today. After all, now is the time when he needs to show his skills.

When it comes to cooking skills, Lu Yan is an expert. He knows the characteristics and cooking methods of various ingredients, and can cook every dish to be delicious.

Seeing that the current emperor was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest, Lu Yan thought that he should be more obedient and sensible, and take the initiative to take care of the emperor's food and daily life. So he walked into the small kitchen and began to carefully prepare delicious food.

Lu Yan planned to cook some dishes that the emperor liked.

He tied an apron and skillfully handled the ingredients. The aroma from the pot gradually spread.

Soon, exquisite dishes were placed on the table. Lu Yan personally carried the plate, followed by two people, and walked towards the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor was busy with state affairs at this time. When he saw Lu Yan coming in, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Why are you here?" asked the emperor.

"I cooked some food and sent it over, thinking about how hard Your Majesty has been working these days." Lu Yan said.

The emperor felt warm in his heart, "That's thoughtful."

The two enjoyed this warm dinner together and temporarily forgot their troubles.

After dinner, the emperor chatted with Lu Yan for a while.

The emperor mentioned the current tense situation, and Lu Yan expressed his unwillingness to participate in the emperor's handling of government affairs.

Xuan Yicheng, however, didn't think it was a big deal and said that they were just chatting together.

In the following days, Lu Yan would often sneak into Xuan Yichen's imperial study, even if he didn't do anything, just to accompany him.

Lu Yan often went in and out of the palace to discuss state affairs with the emperor.

With his intelligence and accurate judgment of the situation, he put forward many useful suggestions.

With Lu Yan's help, the emperor successfully quelled the crisis on the border and avoided the outbreak of a war.

The people were full of praise for this talented minister, and the relationship between Lu Yan and the emperor grew deeper and deeper, but no one knew that the person behind this was Lu Yan.

No one knew that Lu Yan was actually a member of the harem.

Xuan Yicheng gazed at Lu Yan with love, and secretly sighed in his heart: This person is really talented, virtuous and capable! It's a pity that fate plays tricks on people. Such an outstanding talent can only be trapped in this deep harem, unable to display his true ambitions and talents.

As time went by, the suggestions made by Lu Yan became more and more influential in the court. His wisdom and talents were recognized by everyone, and he became a capable assistant to the emperor.

At the same time, the emperor also raised something.

However, the struggle in the harem gradually intensified. The other concubines became jealous of Lu Yan's favor and began to plot against him.

Lu Yan relied on the system's prompts to escape danger time and time again, but he knew very well that he would never let those people go easily.

It's just that he is currently too busy to take care of it, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know who did this.

One day, a mysterious letter arrived unexpectedly, like a bolt from the blue, accusing him of having an affair with an outsider, which was a threat to him.

"System, who gave this to you?" Lu Yan burned the letter.

No one in the harem knew that Lu Yan was involved in political affairs. They only knew that Lu Yan seldom went out during this period, and he had left Jing Heng to Yan Feng and two maids to look after.

The emperor has been in the imperial study all this time, and Lu Yan has also been staying in the palace.

So many people speculated that Lu Yan took advantage of the emperor's absence to be with someone else.

This was confirmed because someone accidentally saw someone climbing over the wall into Lu Yan's palace in the middle of the night.

The system told him the reason why this happened, and he couldn't help but laugh. The emperor sneaked in in the middle of the night those days, but he didn't expect to be discovered.
