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

The man in red frowned slightly and tried to calm himself down.

"Have we met before?" Lu Yan couldn't help but ask.

"I don't remember." The man in red spoke in a cold tone, his voice seemed frozen, without any emotion.

At the same time, there was some inquiry and murderous intent in the eyes when he looked at Lu Yan, as if he was going to kill him the next moment if he disliked Lu Yan.

Lu Yan wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by the other party.

“No matter who you are, don’t interfere with my work.” The man in red stood up. “If you keep pestering me, don’t blame me for being rude.”

After saying that, he walked towards the door, opened it, and left a message.

"You go."

Lu Yan looked at his back, thoughtfully.

It was indeed a bit rash to do this today, so Lu Yan had to get up and leave the fifth floor. However, after Lu Yan left, the man said to the empty room, "Go check the identity of this person."

Lu Yan went downstairs and left without staying here.

Lu Yan walked out, thinking that he would come back to test his strength next time.

"Who is he? Why do I have a strange feeling about him?" The man in red muttered to himself as he watched Lu Yan's departing back, his eyes revealing a hint of confusion and curiosity.

Lu Yan's figure gradually walked away and finally disappeared from sight, but the red-clothed man's thoughts were completely aroused.

As for the true identity of the man in red, the system did not reveal it until Lu Yan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and told him the other party's identity.

"Host, his name is Fu Liyou."

"Host, this person is the mastermind behind the Cuiyu Tingyuan. He comes from the distant Miaojiang area. And according to rumors, this person has a perverse temperament and is moody. He is often kind and amiable one moment, but becomes cold as ice the next. He is unpredictable and getting along with him is like walking on thin ice."

"Not only that, I heard that he has a strange habit, which is never to have physical contact with anyone. At least from the information I can collect so far, since he set foot on this land of the capital, he has never set foot outside the Cuiyu Courtyard."

Lu Yan nodded slightly to show that he understood, then raised his hand and waved gently, signaling the servants following behind him to retreat.

Lu Yan was thinking alone, what was the past and purpose of this mysterious man in red? He decided to investigate the matter in depth.

"He is from Miaojiang. Regardless of his purpose for coming here, his purpose in running the entire Cuiyutingyuan is questionable."

However, before Lu Yan found an opportunity to contact Fu Liyou, he received a summons from the emperor.

This sudden summons surprised Lu Yan a little, but he did not dare to neglect it and hurried to the palace to meet the emperor.

Along the way, Lu Yan secretly speculated on the reason why the emperor summoned him, and he was also full of speculations about the upcoming meeting.

The emperor was wary of his position, but had to rely on his identity. Now that he suddenly summoned him, it was probably not a good thing.

Lu Yan came to the palace and bowed respectfully. After the emperor gave him a seat, he said straight to the point: "I heard that you had some contact with the owner of Cuiyutingyuan recently." Lu Yan's heart tightened. As he expected, the emperor was well-informed.

"Your Majesty, it was just a chance encounter." Lu Yan tried his best to keep his voice calm.

The emperor smiled and said, "Of course I believe you, but the background of Cuiyutingyuan is complicated, so you'd better have less contact with them."

"I will follow your majesty's teachings." Lu Yan responded with his head down. At the same time, he became even more curious about dealing with Li You, someone even the emperor didn't want to provoke easily.

"In addition, I have another thing to entrust to you. The envoys from the neighboring country are visiting. This negotiation concerns the diplomatic relations between the two countries. I hope you can represent the court." The emperor looked at Lu Yan, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.

Lu Yan's heart was moved. This was not good news. "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

If you don't do it well, you will be blamed.

"Okay, since there is nothing else to do, you can leave." The emperor waved his hand, indicating that Lu Yan could leave. Lu Yan bowed respectfully and then slowly left the palace.

However, when Lu Yan turned and left, the emperor's eyes were fixed on his back, with an indescribable strange look in his eyes.

It was a complex expression mixed with doubt, thought and some hidden emotions.

The emperor sat quietly on the dragon throne, lost in thought.

He thought of Lu Yan's recent performance and some of the opinions and suggestions he had put forward. Although there seemed to be nothing wrong on the surface, the emperor always felt that there seemed to be some hidden meaning in it.

He seemed like a different person, no longer the prime minister who did not know how to avoid the spotlight.

The emperor pondered in his heart.

These questions kept circling in the emperor's mind, making him feel irritated.

He decided to pay more attention to Lu Yan and observe his every move to find out whether he was an enemy or a friend.

Prime Minister Lu has been in the court for many years, and it is precisely because Lu Yan has always been neutral that he would have taken action against Lu Yan long ago.

At the same time, Lu Yan was not in a relaxed mood after walking out of the palace.

He felt the emperor's strange gaze, but could not determine its specific meaning.

"System, what kind of person is the emperor of this world?"

'I can only say that he is a wise ruler.'

It is enough for the system to say this. If it is a tyrant, Lu Yan must find a way to get rid of his current identity to avoid getting himself into trouble.

Lu Yan is well aware of the complexity and danger of court politics, and the slightest mistake could lead to his own death. He must be cautious and careful in every step to survive in this environment full of political schemes.

However, he didn't know what impact this weird atmosphere would have on him, nor did he know how to deal with this situation.

After Lu Yan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.

Although he was married, the concubine seemed to be just a nominal partner. The position of the prime minister's wife remained vacant.

In the past few days, Lu Yan has been busy with various affairs and has not had the opportunity to meet this concubine. He secretly guessed that maybe there really was not much affection between them.

However, when Lu Yan stepped into his own bedroom, his thoughts involuntarily drifted to the concubine he had never met.

"Forget it, let's not think about these things for now." Lu Yan shook his head gently, trying to get rid of the distracting thoughts from his mind.

At this moment, he was more concerned about how to deal with the current situation and future challenges. As for the side wife, let time prove everything.

Lu Yan decided to temporarily put aside his speculation about his wife and focus on his career and responsibilities. As long as the other party didn't come to him to cause trouble, he could pretend that she didn't exist.
