Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder is Very Leisurely

"Then I'll have to trouble Eunuch Li," Yu Nuan said politely. Yu Nuan knew that Li Sheng was Shen Mu's most capable eunuch and a trusted confidant. Even the ministers dared not underestimate him.

"Princess, you are too kind. It is my honor."

Li Sheng followed behind Yu Nuan, but his heart was not as calm as he appeared. Li Sheng had always known that the Emperor treated this former Consort Yu differently, but he didn't really understand what the Emperor was thinking. So when the Emperor summoned Miss Jiang to the palace today, Li Sheng was quite shocked.

However, Li Sheng did not dare to speculate too much about the Emperor's intentions. Even if he was curious about what the Emperor and Miss Jiang had discussed, the Emperor had just driven everyone out of the house after Miss Jiang arrived.

"Jade warmth".

Just as they stepped out of the palace gates, they encountered Shen Yan, who was rushing over.

Upon receiving news that Yu Nuan had entered the palace, Shen Yan hurriedly left the Prince of Yan's residence and rushed to the palace. He happened to run into Yu Nuan leaving the palace in front of the gate. Shen Yan asked anxiously, "Yu Nuan, are you alright? Did my brother make things difficult for you?"

"I'm fine, what are you doing here?"

Shen Yan shook his head, indicating that it was good that Yu Nuan was alright. When he received the news, Shen Yan's heart almost stopped. He was worried that his elder brother would threaten Yu Nuan to leave his side.

At this moment, Li Sheng spoke up, "This servant greets Your Highness, Prince Yan." Then, turning to Yu Nuan, he said, "Princess, this servant will escort you this far and return to report to the Emperor."

After Li Sheng left, Shen Yan cautiously asked Yu Nuan, "Yu Nuan, did your brother say anything strange to you? If he did, you must not listen to him."

In fact, Shen Yan knew that he had not yet clearly expressed his feelings to Yu Nuan, and he did not know if Yu Nuan liked him at all. He had originally planned to wait until his elder brother and mother agreed before he began to pursue Yu Nuan, but now he could not even get past the first step.

At this moment, Shen Yan didn't want to wait any longer. He wanted to express his feelings to Yu Nuan, to tell her how much he loved her and that he could resist anything for her.

"Shen Yan".

"Jade warmth".

They both spoke at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled.

Shen Yan said with a smile, "You go first."

"Shen Yan, there's something I want to tell you. Let's find a place to talk."

"Perfect timing, I also have something to tell you. I know a quiet place, let's go there!"

"can."

This time, Yu Nuan didn't bring Qingyi with her when she went to the palace; she only had her mother, Jiang, arrange a carriage and a driver. Yu Nuan boarded the carriage, and Shen Yan led the way on horseback.

Inside the carriage, Yu Nuan closed her eyes and pondered how to refuse Shen Yan without hurting him.

Yu Nuan had previously considered gradually ignoring Shen Yan to make him give up, but now it's clear that this method won't work.

After returning to the capital, Yu Nuan rarely met Shen Yan. After the last palace banquet, Yu Nuan did not meet Shen Yan again. However, she did not expect that he would tell the Emperor and Empress Dowager about his feelings and actually want to get their consent.

Before Yu Nuan could figure out what to say, the carriage had already stopped.

"Yu Nuan, we've arrived."

When Yu Nuan came out, Shen Yan was already waiting by the carriage, reaching out to help her down.

Yu Nuan also saw Shen Yan's hand, but subtly dodged it, jumped off the carriage, looked around, and asked, "Where are we?"

The street was completely silent. If it weren't for the houses in front of her, Yu Nuan would have thought it was a deserted place.

Shen Yan was somewhat disappointed by Yu Nuan's earlier avoidance, but upon hearing Yu Nuan's question, he perked up and gently replied, "This is my private estate. When it's empty, I usually host small banquets for distinguished guests or friends to gather for tea and conversation. But don't worry, I've had the estate closed today and we won't be receiving any guests."

Yu Nuan nodded and entered the courtyard with Shen Yan. After they sat down, a group of maids surrounded them, serving tea and water, and arranging fruits and pastries. In no time, the table was full.

"I didn't know what you liked to eat, so I had some prepared. See if there's anything else you'd like to eat, and I'll have the servants prepare it," Shen Yan said.

"No need, these are fine. Shen Yan, I came here today to..."

Shen Yan suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly interrupted Yu Nuan, "Yu Nuan, listen to me first." Shen Yan gestured to the butler behind him, and the butler immediately understood what Shen Yan meant. He waved and led everyone away, leaving only Yu Nuan and Shen Yan.

Shen Yan looked at Yu Nuan with a nervous expression, but mustered his courage and said, "Yu Nuan, I like happy. I want to marry you and make you my queen. I promise you, you will be my only one in this life."

Upon hearing Shen Yan's confession, Yu Nuan felt a sense of relief; the day had finally come.

After Shen Yan finished speaking, seeing that Yu Nuan remained silent, he was so nervous that he almost stopped breathing.

“Shen Yan, I think it’s better if we just stay friends. After the Lantern Festival, I will return to Yunqi Temple, where I will remain a Taoist priest. You, on the other hand, are His Highness Prince Yan, so it’s destined that we can’t be together.”

"Why?" Although Shen Yan knew that Yu Nuan might refuse, he was still so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe after hearing her say it herself.

"Yu Nuan, I understand. Are you worried that your brother and mother will not agree to our marriage? It's okay, I will try my best to persuade them. Even if there are many difficulties ahead, I will not give up. Can you give me some time? Also, after we get married, we will leave the capital and return to Liangzhou. We can live a happy life there."

At this moment, Shen Yan was no longer talking; he had only one thought in his mind: he wanted to keep Yu Nuan.

"No, Shen Yan, my not being with you has nothing to do with anyone else. It's just because I don't like you, and I don't want to be criticized because of you."

"That's not it, that's not it." Shen Yan shook his head and stepped back, unwilling to believe anything Yu Nuan said. "Yu Nuan, tell me, what you're saying is all lies, you like me, I can't be wrong."

When they were in Liangzhou, Shen Yan could sense that Yu Nuan had feelings for him.

Shen Yan's feeling was indeed correct. Yu Nuan did have feelings for Shen Yan. If she didn't have any affection for him, Yu Nuan wouldn't have allowed Shen Yan into her life. However, there was a barrier between them: their social status and the difference in the passage of their lives. After Yu Nuan began cultivating, her lifespan would definitely far exceed that of others. Therefore, Yu Nuan didn't want to experience a deeply unforgettable love only to be left alone for the rest of her life.

"Shen Yan, there's really no possibility between us. I wish you find true happiness."

After Yu Nuan finished speaking, she couldn't bear to see Shen Yan's sad expression, so she left directly. After turning away, Yu Nuan touched her chest and felt empty inside.
