Chapter 945: Shortcut
"What? You have to be mentally prepared in advance for something. Shen Yan felt the sly look in Xu Sanyuan's heart, with a hint of surprise, Shen Yan's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, unable to think of the words Xu Sanyuan wanted to express.
"Such a smart Lord Shen couldn't even think of our family's words, which really shocked our family." Seeing Shen Yan's expression, a bright smile appeared on the corner of Xu Sanyuan's mouth, a childish look flashed in his eyes, and he laughed loudly.
"Father-in-law Xu is too praised, you want to kill him." The corners of Shen Yan's mouth showed a hearty smile, and he glanced at Xu Sanyuan, and it happened that Xu Sanyuan's eyes were also looking at him, and the eyes of the two made a brief exchange in the air, and then both of them laughed loudly.
"Okay, don't sell it, Princess Yuhan also followed behind the ministers in disguise this time to welcome Lord Shen's triumphant return." A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xu Sanyuan's mouth, and he lowered his voice and said softly.
"Princess Yuhan?" Hearing Xu Sanyuan's words, a trace of doubt obviously appeared in Shen Yan's eyes, he didn't seem to know much about this Yuhan princess, and he didn't seem to have anything to do with her, as a princess, how could she disguise herself and follow the body of the ministers to greet her?
"Lord Shen doesn't have any impression of Princess Yuhan at all?" Seeing Shen Yan's expression, a touch of surprise flashed in Xu Sanyuan's eyes, Shen Yan and Princess Yuhan had contact before, it stands to reason that Shen Yan can't have no impression of Princess Yuhan at all, could it be that Shen Yan didn't take Princess Yuhan to heart at all, so his impression of Princess Yuhan is relatively shallow?
"It's not that I don't have any impression at all, I have a little impression in my mind, and I have met once before, but I really can't understand that Princess Yuhan is the emperor's most beloved princess, how could she come to greet me in disguise?" Hearing Xu Sanyuan's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shen Yan's mouth, and he expressed the doubts in his heart.
"Lord Shen, you are really a noble person who forgets things." Hearing Shen Yan's words, a hearty smile appeared on the corner of Xu Sanyuan's mouth, and he glanced at Shen Yan, as if he felt a trace of surprise, Shen Yan's age should not be so forgetful.
"How?" Shen Yan was stunned by Xu Sanyuan's words.
"Lord Shen, do you still remember that the emperor intended to recruit you as a concubine?" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Xu Sanyuan's mouth, glanced at Shen Yan, and said with interest.
"Yes. Could it be that this Princess Yuhan is the emperor's intention to recruit me as a concubine? Hearing Xu Sanyuan's words, Shen Yan's eyes flashed with a look of enlightenment.
"Yes, it's Princess Yuhan." A hearty smile appeared on the corner of Xu Sanyuan's mouth, glanced at Shen Yan lightly, and then said slowly.
"Princess Yuhan heard the news that the emperor planned to recruit you as a concubine, I felt that I didn't know anything about you, at first there was some resistance and rejection in my heart, but then I continued to hear the news of you in all aspects, and gradually became curious about you in my heart, maybe there was more of a child in my heart, so I also paid special attention to you, during the time you left Jinling, Princess Yuhan went to Wangjianglou almost every once in a while, as for what to do there, I think the little female shopkeeper of Wangjianglou next to you knows better, When you return to Jinling, ask her and find out. A playful look appeared at the corner of Xu Sanyuan's mouth, and there was a hint of envy in the depths of his eyes, and he laughed loudly.
Although Xu Sanyuan is one of the most trusted servants around the emperor, he is a physically disabled person after all, and he is still full of envy for the kind of children who are able-bodied, although Xu Sanyuan has this emotion in his heart, but not to everyone, and he should not have revealed such an emotion to Shen Yan, but for some reason, Xu Sanyuan felt that although he and Shen Yan were very different in age, Shen Yan seemed to be his confidant, maybe Shen Yan understood himself, so Xu Sanyuan had a special trust in Shen Yan, otherwise, if you want Xu Sanyuan to fold it just based on Shen Yan's qualifications, it will only be a matter of face, and it will not reach the current state at all.
"How so?" Hearing Xu Sanyuan's words, a touch of surprise flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, he is not a fragrant dumpling, nor is he a handsome man who is a heartthrob, how did Princess Yuhan finally have feelings for herself, it is really strange, is it true that her charm has become infinite with the crossing?
"To be honest, our family doesn't know anything about this kind of thing, but our family knows that during the time you left Jinling, Princess Yuhan inquired a lot about you, and also said some good things for you in front of the emperor, otherwise, just by your arbitrary approach in Huaibei County, although you are deeply liked by the emperor, but in a certain way you have also been suspicious of the emperor, after all, you are also an important member of the military and political power, if you exceed the emperor's control, it means that you will form a risk that the tail will not fall." A complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Shen Yan indifferently.
To tell the truth, Shen Yan is indeed a very capable person, otherwise it would be impossible to reach this realm in such a short period of time, if Shen Yan's ambition is greater, he will cooperate with a certain prince, and even become a certain prince to seize the heir, so as to gain greater power, and at the same time use this power to counter this prince and become the real existence of the controlling party, if this situation really appears, can the emperor still sleep and eat peacefully?
Obviously, the emperor's character is suspicious, even if he has the emperor's trust, the emperor is not a heart-to-heart, if the emperor has a heart-to-heart with a minister, it means that there will be certain risks. Therefore, with Princess Yuhan in front of the emperor and saying something for Shen Yan, it really dispelled the emperor's suspicion of Shen Yan, thus making Shen Yan's position in the emperor's heart more solid, which is also what Xu Sanyuan wanted to express to Shen Yan.
"There seem to be a lot of things I don't know." Hearing Xu Sanyuan's words, Shen Yan's brows furrowed slightly, although he understood in his heart that some things did happen behind his back, but Shen Yan never thought that the crossroads related to his fate turned out to be Princess Yuhan, and Shen Yan also knew in his heart that his practices in Huaibei County were deeply loved by the emperor, but some of them were a little more extreme, such as expanding the army, which had already touched the emperor's bottom limit, and it was impossible for the emperor not to suspect in his heart.
Shen Yan originally wanted to wait for a chance to talk to the emperor about the situation after returning to Jinling, but from Xu Sanyuan's words, Shen Yan understood that this matter almost had some bad effects in the emperor's heart, if it wasn't for Princess Yuhan to help him speak, maybe his position in the emperor's heart would plummet.
Shen Yan said that he didn't care about this, it was also self-deception, in such a social state, it was a shortcut to gain greater power and win the emperor's trust and respect, and Shen Yan was not stupid, so Shen Yan was working this road, how could he give up easily.
