Chapter 656: Make It Clear
"How is this possible?" Han An muttered to himself, "Master has clearly already--"
"There's no need for me to lie to you about something like this." Nalan Chenyu gently held Han An's shoulders and spoke slowly, "This news came from my father. Many people already know about it."
Han An raised her head and looked at Nalan Chenyu, with a hint of bewilderment in her eyes. Obviously, she still found it difficult to accept this sudden news for a while.
"I……"
Han An opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know what to say.
When she heard the news that her master was still alive, she felt a mixture of emotions. Her master had sacrificed himself to heaven because she had been by his side when he had divined the divination. When she returned, she told the prince what had happened.
She didn't mean to harm her master, she just wanted to help the prince. However, what she didn't expect was that after her master left, the imperial concubine, who had been kind to her, became a completely different person. She gave the prince two prominent concubines, and then several concubines, some of whom were illegitimate daughters of powerful families.
Although she was the princess, she was the only one in the Yu Palace without any support. For a time, her position in the palace was particularly awkward.
It was not until then that she realized how important it was to have a backer.
However, now that her master has returned, she doesn't know whether to be happy or sad. Even after hearing that her master has returned, she doesn't know how to face him.
Seeing Han An's hesitation, Nalan Chenyu softly spoke to comfort him, "I know what you're thinking. There's no such thing as overnight hatred between a master and a disciple! I think, no matter what you've done, as long as you sincerely admit your mistakes, I think the Imperial Master will definitely forgive you."
After hearing Nalan Chenyu's words, Han An's eyes flashed with a light, "Yes, Your Highness, you are right. I will go to the palace to see Master tomorrow. Master has been the best to me, and she will definitely forgive me."
"good."
Nalan Chenyu smiled gently and dotingly, as if he was looking at the person he loved the most. However, when Han An wasn't looking, a trace of calculation flashed in his eyes from time to time.
At this moment, Zhong Nian Yao didn't know what Han An was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely say, "How can a shameless person really be invincible in the world?"
Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao stayed overnight in the Imperial Master's Hall. As usual, there were no servants inside. However, both of them liked quietness and were quite satisfied with this arrangement.
Early the next morning, before Zhong Nianyao heard any news from Nalandeyi, someone came in to report that Princess Yu had arrived and wanted to see the Imperial Preceptor.
When Zhong Nianyao heard that Han An was coming, she was stunned for a moment, but was not surprised.
After thinking about it, she decided to let Han An in. Because, she felt that some things needed to be explained clearly.
"Since we have nothing to say to each other, why bother meeting again?" Lu Yichen disagreed. "It's a waste of time to meet someone like that."
He really disliked this disciple who had betrayed Zhong Nianyao. Now that he heard that the other party had the audacity to come to his house, he planned to kick him out. But he didn't expect that Zhong Nianyao would actually want to see him.
"There are still some things that need to be clarified between her and me." Zhong Nianyao smiled faintly and spoke slowly, "At least, she shouldn't be called my apprentice anymore."
A hint of understanding flashed in Lu Yichen's eyes, and he immediately knew what Zhong Nianyao was planning.
Zhong Nianyao planned to talk to Han An alone, so she asked Lu Yichen to go out first.
This time, Lu Yichen didn't say anything and left quickly. He knew very well that Zhong Nianyao should handle this matter herself.
Han An had mixed feelings when she entered the hall, but at the same time, she was secretly delighted because her master was willing to see her.
In fact, before coming here, she had already prepared herself mentally for the possibility that she would not be able to see anyone even after coming once or twice. What she did not expect was that the master was actually willing to see her.
This made her feel a little hopeful, that is, her master was still willing to forgive her.
Soon, Han An entered the hall, but when she saw the woman sitting there, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Why are you here?"
At a glance, she recognized the woman sitting there as the one she had mistaken for someone else on the street before.
"If I'm not here, where should I be?" Zhong Nianyao glanced at Han An indifferently, and then said, "This is my territory, you have no right to ask me any questions."
Although they were two completely different faces, Han An saw a familiar aura from the other person, which was the aura of his master.
"Master, you are the master." Han An's eyes widened, his eyes revealing excitement, "Master, you are back, right? You are finally back."
After saying that, she could no longer control her emotions and almost wanted to go up and hug Zhong Nian Yao.
"I'm not worthy of being called Master by Princess Yu." Zhong Nianyao shook her head gently. "In our Guiguzi sect, there's no disciple like you who betrays his own people."
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Han An became anxious. She quickly said, "Master, I didn't mean it. I didn't think so much at the time. I just wanted to help Prince Yu. Master, I never thought of betraying you. Please believe me!"
"It doesn't matter whether you want to or not." Zhong Nianyao's smile was a little ironic. "What matters is that you've already done it. What qualifications do you have now? What face do you still have to call me Master?"
After just a few words, Han An didn't know how to respond.
For a moment, she stood there, looking extremely helpless, not knowing what to do.
"What? Do you feel wronged?" Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows. "I didn't say anything. What do you have to feel wronged about?"
"Master, I—"
Han An bit his lip and finally knelt down. "Master, what happened back then was indeed my fault. No matter how you punish me, I will accept it. But, Master, please don't deny me! You are the most important person to me in this world. If it weren't for you, I might not even be alive enough to stand here and speak."
