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

Chapter 823 The Tyrant’s Mute Queen (33)

Concubine Yi, she is really a person with a miserable life. She entered the palace not long before Lu Yan. It can be said that once she entered the palace, it was like entering a deep sea.

Look, Lu Yan had just entered the palace not long ago, and he had completely lost the chance to gain the emperor's favor. Naturally, his life would be difficult from then on.

In fact, Lu Yan did not make things difficult for other concubines just because he was favored, nor did he treat them harshly.

But the struggle in the harem is so cruel and ruthless.

Sometimes, even if you have done nothing wrong, if someone doesn't like you or wants to get rid of you, they don't need any reasons or excuses.

"Why did Concubine Yi come out?" Lu Yan looked at the other party who was following closely and took the initiative to speak.

"It's too stuffy in there. I wanted to come out for some fresh air, but I didn't expect to meet you here." Concubine Yi bowed to Lu Yan in a graceful and elegant manner.

"No problem." Lu Yan waved his hand casually and said, "Since we have met, why not sit down and chat together."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Yi responded obediently, then sat down gracefully on a stone bench beside her. She picked up the teapot on the table, took the initiative to fill a cup of tea for Lu Yan, and then carefully held it in front of Lu Yan.

Seeing this, Lu Yan was about to raise his hand to take it, but something unexpected happened - the cup suddenly slipped from Concubine Yi's hand and fell straight to the ground, splashing water everywhere and all over Lu Yan, in a particularly conspicuous position.

Now I can't go back to the banquet without changing clothes.

"Your concubine... Your concubine definitely did not do it on purpose!" Concubine Yi reacted very quickly and fell to her knees with a thud.

Lu Yan looked helpless, but he still curled his lips slightly where Concubine Yi couldn't see, and said, "Forget it, this is not a big deal. Get up quickly, I'll go change my clothes first."

He thought it was inconvenient for him to return to the banquet in this state.

Yipin was still kneeling on the ground, her body trembling with fear, and she said in a trembling voice: "I..."

"I'll go back and change my clothes first. You should go back earlier too." Lu Yan interrupted her and stood up and walked towards his palace. He sighed in his heart, "It's a pity that I didn't even get to taste that cup of delicious tea."

After Lu Yan changed his clothes, he was about to return to the banquet.

"His Majesty has arrived!" With the eunuch's loud shout, the emperor walked into the palace. Lu Yan changed his clothes and was about to go out.

"Hurry up." Xuan Yicheng sat down next to him and said to Lu Yan with a smile, "Where did you go just now? I've been waiting for a long time."

"I can't handle the alcohol anymore, so I went out to sober up." Lu Yan replied with a smile.

The emperor nodded, but did not mention that Lu Yan had changed his clothes. It was unclear whether he was pretending not to notice, or...

Concubine Yi also came with them. Lu Yan didn't say much, but sat down aside. He didn't say much about the fact that the emperor brought people to his palace.

Xuan Yicheng smiled. The banquet was still going on, and they couldn't stay here forever. Lu Yan looked at the person in front of him, but in his heart he was thinking that Concubine Yi was calm.

Since she was so determined to get her clothes soaked, and came uninvited, she must have said something to the emperor, and only then was she allowed to accompany him.

For a moment, everyone was silent, and the air seemed to freeze. Lu Yan's eyes were fixed on Concubine Yi, who looked a little flustered and a little uneasy.

"Concubine Yi, you said that Lu Yan had an affair with someone else. Do you have any evidence?" The emperor's voice was intimidating without being angry, and he started by stating the purpose of his visit to Lu Yan's palace.

Lu Yan seemed not to hear what they said and calmly drank his tea.

Concubine Yi shuddered, "Your Majesty... I heard the palace maids' opinions. But I believe that with your majesty's wisdom and bravery, you will be able to get to the bottom of this matter."

Even though her legs were trembling, she came to the emperor and whispered something in his ear.

The emperor glanced at Concubine Yi and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He then turned to look at Lu Yan, "Do you have anything to say?"

Lu Yan then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I am devoted to Your Majesty and have no second thoughts. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

The emperor's expression never changed, but after Lu Yan finished speaking, his eyes turned cold when he looked at Concubine Yi.

"Princess Yi, you are very courageous," the emperor scolded.

Yipin sat on the ground, not knowing what she had done wrong, even though all the facts were clearly before her. But the emperor remained unmoved, and just coldly ordered someone to take Yipin away.

Lu Yan watched all this, but his heart was calm. He knew that it was like watching a clown. After the people left, he stood up with a calm face.

After everyone had left, Xuan Yicheng waved his hand to signal them to leave, but Lu Yan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the banquet is not over yet, let's go back first."

"Well... okay." Xuan Yichen didn't even have time to say another word, and had to hurriedly follow Lu Yan back to the banquet.

Throughout the entire dinner, he couldn't even find an opportunity to chat with Lu Yan.

What's worse, due to excessive drinking, he was already a little drunk without realizing it.

After the banquet, Lu Yan arranged for someone to escort the drunk emperor back to the palace safely. After completing all this, he returned to his palace alone.

As soon as he entered the palace, Yu Rou came forward and asked with confusion in her eyes: "Young Master, about the Emperor..." Obviously, Yu Rou was very surprised as to why the Emperor was not allowed to stay in Lu Yan's palace today.

However, Lu Yan gently waved his hand, indicating that Yu Rou didn't need to ask any more questions, and said softly: "It's okay, it's late at night, go to bed early."

He knew what Yu Rou wanted to express, but now was not the time to discuss it.

Because he went to bed late and drank some wine, Lu Yan was still immersed in sleep the next morning and did not wake up. When he slowly opened his eyes, he was surprised to find a person sitting beside the bed.

"Why are you here?" Lu Yan looked at the person in front of him, but did not show any surprise.

"Let me see you." Xuan Yicheng never referred to himself as "I" in front of Lu Yan.

"Ah."

Seeing that Lu Yan had no intention of getting up, Xuan Yicheng simply took off his outer robe and lay down next to him.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late."

"I'll stay with you for a while longer." Xuan Yichen hugged the person and the quilt tightly in his arms.

Knowing he couldn't break free, he just moved and said, "Hot."

Xuan Yichen relaxed his grip, and Lu Yan turned around and faced him. "Why are you here?" He was obviously asking a question he already knew the answer to.

Xuan Yichen was silent for a while. Lu Yan still had his eyes closed and it was unclear whether he had fallen asleep or not.
