Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

Chapter 523 Cannon Fodder Concubines in the Deep Palace 86

This is the first time the Li Dynasty has taken the initiative to fight, and they are full of confidence.

"Your Highness, this, this..." Wu Chen was so shocked when he saw Yu Nuan wave her hand and a whole group of Northern Rong soldiers fall down. He stared wide-eyed and couldn't even speak properly.

Shen Yan smiled. He knew that anyone who saw Yu Nuan's strength would be impressed by it.

A soldier next to him had time to explain to Wu Chen: "General Wu, you don't understand the divine doctor. She can not only snatch people back from the brink of death, but also fight against thousands of troops on the battlefield single-handedly."

"How can she be so powerful!" Wu Chen said, expressing his incomprehension. He had fought on the battlefield and experienced countless battles, but he had never seen Yu Nuan with such powerful internal energy.

"That's how amazing the doctor is."

Wu Chen had been guarding the frontier all along, so he didn't recognize Yu Nuan as the former favored concubine. After witnessing Yu Nuan's prowess, Wu Chen regretted the words he had spoken before setting off.

Yu Nuan ignored Wu Chen's surprise and focused on Qingyi, worried that she might get hurt in a moment of impulsiveness.

The capture of the Northern Rong king foreshadowed the defeat and annihilation of the Northern Rong tribe and the surrounding tribes involved in the war, finally bringing an end to the war that had lasted for more than half a month.

Upon witnessing this scene, Qingyi suddenly burst into tears. In just half a month, Qingyi had experienced far too much.

Yu Nuan returned to the courtyard with Qingyi. Everything inside was the same, but it felt like things had changed and people were no longer the same.

"Miss, Sister Qingyi, you're back!" Xiahe and Chuntao rushed out of the house happily.

"Spring Peach, Summer Lotus." Yu Nuan forced a smile and greeted them before returning to her room. All she wanted to do was lie on her soft bed and sleep soundly until the world ended.

Qingyi wasn't in the mood to chat with anyone, so she nodded and went back to her room.

Xiahe and Chuntao knew that the two were tired, so they didn't disturb them too much. They just stood silently at the door, preparing hot meals for them so that they could eat as soon as they woke up.

Yu Nuan slept for a day and a night, and didn't wake up until noon the next day. When she came out, Chun Tao and Xia He immediately came up to her and asked her with concern, "Miss, are you very hungry now? What would you like to eat? I will tell the kitchen to make it right away."

"No, let's see what food is in the kitchen and bring it to me quickly. I feel so hungry I could eat a whole cow."

Yu Nuan was woken up by hunger, so all she wanted to do at that moment was fill her stomach.

Xia He immediately ran to the kitchen to prepare food for Yu Nuan.

After Yu Nuan ate a few bites, her hunger subsided a bit, and she finally had time to ask Qingyi, "Qingyi, have you eaten?"

"No, after I went back to my room yesterday, I locked myself in and didn't come out again."

Yu Nuan paused for a moment, then said, "Let her be by herself for a while!"

After Yu Nuan finished eating, she was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun. She was a little sleepy because she had eaten too much. She had just woken up and was thinking of taking a walk to digest her food.

"See Your Highness."

When Xia He saw Shen Yan, she immediately knelt down and bowed.

Shen Yan waved his hand, signaling Xia He to get up. Then he stood next to Yu Nuan and bent down to look at her.

Yu Nuan sensed Shen Yan's approach, glanced at him, but made no move. Yu Nuan was very casual in front of Shen Yan now.

"Why are you here?" Yu Nuan asked lazily.

"I just finished dealing with the prisoners of war and was worried you had nightmares last night, so I came to check on you." Shen Yan no longer hid his concern for Yu Nuan at all, as if he was afraid others wouldn't know he liked her.

Yu Nuan lowered her head and remained silent.

Shen Yan pressed on, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Great, I came back and rested, and I've been sleeping until now. I had lunch."

Hearing that Yu Nuan was alright, Shen Yan felt much relieved. He wasn't worried about anything else, but he was worried that Yu Nuan would continue to have nightmares after returning from the battlefield, leaving her with psychological trauma.

But seeing Yu Nuan lazily basking in the sun was very pleasant.

"Well, it's good that you're alright. I'll be going now, I still have some things to take care of." Shen Yan also took some time to visit Yu Nuan.

"Okay, go and do your work!"

Shen Yan rushed over and left in a hurry.

After Shen Yan left, Xia He glanced at Yu Nuan, who hadn't gotten up yet, and felt that the atmosphere between the young lady and the prince had changed a lot this time, as if the politeness and distance between them had disappeared.

"Miss, are you and His Highness going to be together?" Xia He asked cautiously.

"Why do you ask that?" Yu Nuan asked casually without looking at Xia He.

"I don't know, but I just feel that you're not as distant from His Highness as before," Xia He said, expressing her feelings.

Yu Nuan smiled and said, "Don't overthink it. There's no possibility between Shen Yan and me."

Xia He must have thought of Yu Nuan's previous identity and knew that it would be difficult for the two of them to be together, so she couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing Xia He sigh, Yu Nuan looked up at her and saw her dejected expression, knowing that Xia He was probably lost in thought.

After being depressed for a few days, Qingyi finally came out of her room. Yu Nuan was happy to see that Qingyi had temporarily emerged from her gloom.

"Qingyi." Yu Nuan stepped forward and hugged Qingyi.

Qingyi smiled and replied to Yu Nuan, saying with a mixture of gratitude and guilt, "Miss, thank you. I'm sorry for making you worry."

"It's alright, it's good that you're alright. Life has to go on," Yu Nuan said, her eyes red.

"Ah."

"Yu Nuan, I'm going back to the capital in a few days. Do you want to come back with me?" Shen Yan came to find Yu Nuan again and asked her earnestly.

“Yes,” Yu Nuan replied.

If she could, Yu Nuan would have wanted to go back long ago. She knew her parents must be extremely worried, and she couldn't wait to return to their side.

"Okay, pack your things, we'll leave the day after tomorrow."

With the year drawing to a close and a victory secured, Shen Mu ordered Shen Yan to return to the capital, along with the captured Northern Rong king.

Actually, it wasn't just Shen Mu who wanted his younger brother to come back; it was the Empress Dowager who strongly demanded Shen Yan's return. This time, the Empress Dowager was truly frightened. No matter what, she insisted that Shen Yan return to get married, and only after the marriage could he return to Liangzhou.

The tragic outcome of the near-total annihilation of the Liangzhou soldiers could not be kept from the Empress Dowager. Upon hearing the news, she was so frightened that she fainted. Shen Mu stayed by her side all night, and the first thing the Empress Dowager asked upon waking was about Shen Yan's safety.

After learning that reinforcements had arrived in time, the Empress Dowager was relieved. She then instructed Shen Mu to issue an edict to bring Shen Yan back after the battle.

Considering the Empress Dowager's health, Shen Mu quickly agreed. Upon receiving the news of the victory in Liangzhou, he immediately issued an edict ordering Shen Yan to bring the captured Northern Rong King back to the capital.
