Chapter 654 Nalan Deyi
"It's resolved!" Zhong Nianyao's tone was very calm, but her words were merciless. "These people have committed many murderous sins. Keeping them alive will only bring disaster."
After hearing Zhong Nian Yao's words, Lu Yichen nodded, then said nothing and just waved his hand.
But in an instant, all the people who were hiding in the dark and following him lost their breath at the same time.
Upon hearing the news, Princess Mingyue's hand, which was holding the tea, trembled involuntarily, and a cup of tea spilled onto her dress.
The housekeeper on the side saw it, but didn't dare to say anything. He just asked whether to send someone to capture Zhong Nian Yao.
Princess Mingyue did not answer, but waved her hand and asked the butler to go down first.
It wasn't until the housekeeper left that she took a deep breath with lingering fear. At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little wary of Zhong Nianyao.
Who is Zhong Nian Yao? How could she kill all those secret guards so quietly and silently?
It seems that if we want to catch Zhong Nian Yao, we still have to plan carefully.
Meanwhile, Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao had already arrived at the Imperial Palace. To be more precise, they were in the Imperial Master's Hall.
The Imperial Master's Hall was still clean and tidy, and it was obvious that someone cleaned it regularly. However, perhaps because no one had lived there for so long, it still seemed particularly deserted.
"Did you live here before?" Lu Yichen looked around and said, "This place seems a bit remote!"
"Yes!" Zhong Nianyao nodded, then smiled and said, "Although this place is a bit remote, it is very quiet. Living here normally, you will rarely be disturbed by outsiders. This gives you more time to practice."
Lu Yichen nodded. "I think no one has lived here for a long time. It seems that after you, there will be no more national masters in the Li Kingdom!"
"Not everyone can become the Imperial Master." Zhong Nianyao shook her head with amusement. "At least, in the area of fortune-telling, if you don't have talent, you absolutely can't do it. I originally planned to train Han An to become the next Imperial Master, but unfortunately—"
Although Han An had ambitions, she was unwilling to spend her entire life in the Imperial Master's Palace. That was why, under Prince Yu's deliberate seduction, she quickly fell for him. It truly wasted all her time cultivating him.
"The Emperor of Li Kingdom is not a good person either." Lu Yichen said calmly, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have forced you to sacrifice yourself to the heavens."
"Haha, I've already told you before that if I don't want to, he definitely won't be able to force me." Zhong Nianyao obviously didn't care much. "He may not be a good person, but he is at least a qualified monarch."
Otherwise, she wouldn't have willingly sacrificed herself to heaven. Not for the monarch of Li, but for the people of Li. She didn't seek revenge against the monarch because she knew in her heart that he was a truly qualified monarch. Keeping him alive would be a good thing for the people of Li.
Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Nian Yao and didn't continue talking.
At this moment, a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps suddenly came from outside. Soon, a bright yellow figure walked into the store.
The man was about fifty years old, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. He looked serious and majestic, and had an imperial aura about him.
After this person came in, he immediately discovered the presence of Lu Yichen and Zhong Nian Yao.
However, he seemed to be oblivious to Lu Yichen's presence. He quickly came to Zhong Nianyao, stopped, and with a hint of hesitation on his face, he spoke tentatively, "National Master!"
"Your Majesty, long time no see." Zhong Nianyao nodded slightly. "I didn't expect that ten years have already passed!"
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's admission, Nalan Deyi, the monarch of the Li Kingdom, took a deep breath, and his voice trembled slightly as he spoke, "You...how could you..."
Today he saw the letter from the Imperial Master in the Imperial Study, and he was shocked at that moment.
In the past, whenever the Imperial Master had any instructions, there would be a message on the desk in his imperial study, asking him to meet with the Imperial Master in his palace.
However, ever since the national teacher sacrificed himself to the heaven ten years ago, which ended the drought and helped the people get through the difficult times, he has never received such a sudden message again.
Today, the sudden appearance of a letter on his desk startled him. He had suspected someone was using the Imperial Master's name to do this. However, the method of delivery and the unique language used in the letter clearly indicated the Imperial Master's origin.
Back then, he had personally witnessed the Imperial Master sacrifice himself to the heavens. However, now the Imperial Master had appeared again.
He was both surprised and delighted. He was surprised that the Imperial Master was still alive, wondering if he would seek revenge. At the same time, he was delighted that the Imperial Master was still alive. He deeply regretted what had happened back then. He had been living in regret for all these years.
After thinking it over again and again, he decided to come and see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, after arriving here, he would actually meet a completely unfamiliar woman. However, the feeling this woman gave him was exactly the same as that of the former Imperial Master.
Even though his face was different, he had a very strong feeling that he was the Imperial Master.
"You want to ask me why I'm still alive, right?" Zhong Nianyao said calmly, "That doesn't seem to be your business."
"Yeah! Who am I to care?"
A hint of hesitation flashed across Nalandeyi's eyes, and then he suddenly knelt down. "Master, what happened back then was all my fault. No matter how you plan to retaliate against me, I won't have any complaints."
"But the people of Li are innocent. Please don't blame them for this. They've just finally recovered from the drought and can't withstand any more hardship."
After hearing Nalandeyi's words, Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but frown. "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by settling a score? When did I ever say that I came to you to settle a score with you?"
"Huh?" Nalandeyi was a little stunned. "National Master, you mean—"
"You don't need to have such a rich imagination." Zhong Nianyao said speechlessly, "I came to you today because I need your help with something, not to settle any accounts with you."
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Nalan Deyi almost couldn't react, "National Master, what happened back then, I wasn't——"
