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

Chapter 804 The Tyrant’s Mute Queen (14)

Under the guidance of his father-in-law, Lu Yan stepped into the palace carefully. He saw the emperor sitting on the dragon throne, his face was as solemn as ice, and his majesty was overflowing. People dared not look directly at him. Lu Yan could only humbly lower his head to see the other's clothes.

He walked forward steadily, each step being extremely cautious.

Arriving before the Emperor, he bowed respectfully, and only stood up after the Emperor raised his hand slightly to signal him to do so.

Immediately afterwards, the eunuch at the side read the imperial edict aloud, and the voice echoed throughout the palace, officially announcing the fact that Lu Yan had become the emperor's male concubine.

After the ceremony, Lu Yan was sent to the bedroom.

He sat silently beside the bed, but his heart was in turmoil and he couldn't calm down.

He was full of confusion and worry about his future life.

He didn't know whether he had the ability to deal with the complex and cruel palace power struggles, and he had no idea where his relationship with the emperor would go.

Although the system said that the emperor had two concubines whom he had never favored, it did not mean that he would be favored.

Only when he actually came into contact with the harem did Lu Yan realize that there were too many restrictions on them.

Just as Lu Yan was lost in thought, the door was suddenly pushed open and the emperor walked in.

There was a hint of inquiry and expectation in his eyes, and they fell directly on Lu Yan.

Lu Yan's heart suddenly tightened, and he took a deep breath and prepared to stand up and greet the emperor.

Thinking back to the brief encounter in the Imperial Garden, it had been a long time since they met again. "System, do you think the Emperor still remembers me?" He couldn't help but speculate in his heart.

After all, the contact between them was not very often, and every time it was so hurried that there was almost no communication.

However, at this moment, facing this high and mighty man who holds the power of life and death, Lu Yan couldn't help feeling nervous and curious.

Even though the two of them are now married and have a bond in their future life.

However, the disparity in status will become Lu Yan's biggest obstacle.

The emperor raised his hand and lifted Lu Yan's veil, revealing a handsome young man in fine clothes and riding a horse.

Wedding attire is always full of unique charm. He wore a scarlet wedding dress, symbolizing good luck, a golden jade crown on his head, and embroidered leather shoes on his feet, showing luxury and nobility.

It matches the emperor's wedding dress perfectly.

Lu Yan looked at the other person. According to ancient etiquette, what should he do?

Lu Yan hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his head and met the emperor's gaze.

There was a trace of awe and bewilderment in his eyes, and he said softly: "Your Majesty..."

The emperor smiled and said in a gentle tone: "Don't be so formal, today you and I are husband and wife." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Lu Yan's cheek.

Lu Yan's face turned red instantly as a reflex. He lowered his head, feeling both helpless and a little happy.

The emperor took Lu Yan's hand, walked to the table, and poured two glasses of wine. He handed one of the glasses to Lu Yan and said, "This is the wedding wine. After drinking it, you and I will be husband and wife."

Lu Yan took the wine glass and drank it with the emperor.

After drinking, the emperor gently hugged Lu Yan and said in his ear: "From now on, I will treat you well."

Lu Yan leaned on the other's shoulder. His expression was no longer as shy as before, but instead he frowned. He was indeed a little caught off guard by the emperor's reaction.

What happened in between was very important to Lu Yan. Why the person to be married became the emperor, and what the emperor said now were definitely said deliberately for him to hear.

They had only met twice, and this was the third time. They were not familiar with each other, so how could they have developed feelings for each other?

It seems that this emperor is also a good actor.

Lu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced in his heart: Fortunately, the emperor only slept in his arms because he drank a few too many glasses of wine last night, and did not do anything else.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pat his chest gently, trying to calm his still somewhat panicked heartbeat.

On the other hand, the emperor fell into a deep sleep after his wedding night and slept until three o'clock in the morning.

After all, as the king of a country, he needs to deal with government affairs and take care of state affairs on weekdays, and it is rare to have such time to relax.

So, these three days became his rare days of rest - according to the rules, the new emperor could rest for three days after his marriage and not attend court.

During these three days, there was peace and tranquility inside and outside the palace. The maids were busy cleaning the palace, and the eunuchs were carefully serving the emperor and Lu Yan. They only knew that Lu Yan was particularly favored, and the emperor spent three days here during the three days of the wedding.

As for Lu Yan, he stayed quietly in his bedroom, thinking about his future life.

He knew that becoming a male concubine meant more trouble and pressure, but also greater opportunities.

However, during these three days, even though the Emperor stayed here every night, he did not do anything out of line to Lu Yan. After all, Lu Yan was just a not very favored prince, but now he was his male concubine and had no real power.

As for the other two concubines, Lu Yan had never even seen them!

The three of them have equal status, so naturally there is no question of who needs to pay a visit to whom.

However, since His Majesty the Emperor has been staying here these days, the other two concubines had to come and meet him.

Lu Yan sat quietly aside, while the emperor sat at the first seat. Facing such a scene, Lu Yan, who was used to being casual, felt quite uncomfortable.

After all, this kind of court life was very different from what he had experienced in the past.

Especially when he saw the two concubines who came to pay their respects and greetings, Lu Yan felt even more uneasy.

So he quickly signaled Yu Rou beside him to give some gifts to the two concubines, and sent someone to escort them out of the palace when everything was done.

At this time, the emperor said: "If you feel uncomfortable, you can reduce your contact with them in the future. These women are quite obedient and there is no problem."

After hearing this, Lu Yan hurriedly lowered his head and responded, "I obey your command." However, he knew in his heart that although these words sounded like words of comfort on the surface, they actually also had the meaning of a warning.

At the same time, let him understand that he must be law-abiding in order to survive in the harem.

At this moment, Lu Yan became more and more nervous, and even his speech became a little stuttering. The meaning he originally wanted to express became unclear under the extreme nervousness.

His illness still hasn't been completely cured. His mood affects the way he speaks, making him nervous and unable to speak clearly.
