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

"Host, after investigation, this incident was indeed done by the concubine who was confined to the harem." In the harem, apart from the empress dowager who holds a high status, the two concubines who seem to be law-abiding and peaceful are the most eye-catching.

However, their backgrounds cannot be underestimated - their fathers are all important officials in the court, with tremendous power and important status.

The system can detect much more information than this, but Lu Yan seemed unusually calm. He took a sip of tea leisurely and said slowly, "Okay! I want to see how they frame me."

His eyes were firm and calm, as if he had expected such a situation.

Faced with possible conspiracies and plots from the palace dignitaries, Lu Yan showed no fear, but instead revealed a kind of confidence that he was well-prepared.

After all, in this ever-changing inner palace, it is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. Only by keeping calm and being resourceful can one escape danger.

At this moment, Lu Yan was like a reef standing firmly on the crest of the waves. No matter how rough the wind and waves were, he remained steadfast.

"System, continue to monitor their every move." Lu Yan put down the teacup, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He knew very well that in this scheming court struggle, every detail could become the key.

In the following days, Lu Yan continued to live in the palace as usual, as if nothing had happened.

As for Xuan Yichen, it was not known whether he did it on purpose or not, he often sneaked into Lu Yan's palace late at night. Lu Yan tried to try to stop him at first, but then the system told him about that incident.

He has never said anything bad about the emperor.

But in his heart he remained alert at all times, waiting for the other party to reveal a flaw, waiting for the other party to show his true colors.

The purpose of holding this banquet is to welcome envoys from foreign countries.

These envoys came from far away, while the princes of their countries had remained in the capital since their marriage.

At this moment, Xuan Yicheng was sitting with Lu Yan in the imperial study, with a cup of fragrant tea carefully brewed by a maid beside them.

"Actually, the main reason they came here is to understand Ivan's living conditions here." Lu Yan took a sip of tea and knew exactly why the envoys came.

Xuan Yicheng nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "You are right. Ivan is the only one living in Changshu's palace now, so naturally there is no such thing as whether he is living a good or bad life."

Lu Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, as if he said casually: "That's natural. Living alone, how can life be good or bad?" However, his eyes flashed with an imperceptible light.

Xuan Yicheng stared at Lu Yan quietly, with a complex light flashing in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something profound. He remained silent, as if immersed in his own thoughts, and did not respond immediately.

However, at this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door, and then a guard walked in quickly, bowed and saluted, and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, the envoy has entered the city."

Hearing the news, Xuan Yichen frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure.

He nodded to show that he understood, and then instructed the guards, "Okay, go down and prepare for the reception, and don't neglect the envoy."

The guards took orders and left, and the room fell into silence again.

Seeing this, Lu Yan also stood up, bowed to Xuan Yicheng, and said, "It's time for me to leave. The Queen Mother has asked me to prepare for the banquet this time, and I need to go and supervise the relevant personnel to ensure that everything goes smoothly."

Xuan Yichen raised his head and glanced at Lu Yan, a hint of imperceptible worry flashed across his eyes, but he still waved his hand, indicating that Lu Yan could leave.

After Lu Yan bowed, he turned and walked out of the room, leaving Xuan Yichen sitting there alone, continuing to ponder.

As Lu Yan left, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly heavy.

As night falls and the lights come on, a grand banquet is about to begin.

However, it was midsummer, the days were getting longer and the nights were coming relatively late.

Nevertheless, when the agreed time arrived, the families of the ministers and envoys from various countries had already arrived at the scene.

The spacious and magnificent hall was brightly lit and magnificent. Everyone took their seats in order according to their status and position, but there was only one person who had not yet appeared - that was Xuan Yicheng, and everyone could not help but whisper to each other.

Lu Yan had already sat in his seat, sipping his tea calmly and leisurely.

Beside him sat a group of concubines, they had exquisite makeup, gorgeous clothes, and their every move revealed their noble temperament.

Lu Yan was calm and composed, and did not seem to be anxious or uneasy about Xuan Yicheng's absence.

Perhaps Lu Yan's calmness infected the people around him, and everyone present gradually relaxed their vigilance.

It is worth mentioning that the Queen Mother has never been keen on such banquets and usually does not attend them in person. Therefore, the people present were used to it and were not too surprised.

"The Emperor has arrived."

Lu Yan stood up, and everyone present followed suit.

Xuan Yichen walked into the hall, and everyone bowed. He smiled and raised his hand, signaling everyone to skip the formalities.

"Today's banquet is held to welcome envoys from various countries. I hope everyone can enjoy this wonderful time." Xuan Yichen's voice echoed in the hall.

The music started, the dancers started dancing, and the hall was filled with laughter.

Lu Yan watched all this with a smile, but was thinking about his next plan in his mind.

He knew that the real challenge was yet to come.

It is naturally impossible for the concubines to choose this time to take action.

Lu Yan looked calm, but some people began to get anxious. In that case, Lu Yan decided to give these people a chance.

Seeing that the banquet was going on in an orderly manner, Lu Yan moved a little closer to Xuan Yicheng and said softly, "I want to go out and breathe some fresh air."

"Is everything okay?" Xuan Yichen asked with concern.

Lu Yan shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine, and then replied: "Nothing, I'll be back soon."

"Okay, let's go." Xuan Yichen nodded in agreement.

After getting permission, Lu Yan stood up, and Xuan Yichen winked at someone next to him, and that person immediately and quietly retreated.

Since it was very close to the Imperial Garden, Lu Yan didn't plan to walk far, so he found a place to sit down in the Imperial Garden.

"This is the place where I have always believed that I first met Your Majesty..." He couldn't help but feel emotional, and was filled with nostalgia for that memory.

Lu Yan just looked at the palace where the sounds of laughter could be heard and thought that this was not a bad idea.
