Chapter 678
After finally leaving the National Master's Hall, Han An breathed a sigh of relief, but what followed was a feeling of powerlessness.
Just standing there had almost exhausted all her strength. Deep down, she was extremely panicked.
Soon, everyone would know that she and her master had broken off relations. Now that she had lost her ability to divine, she didn't know what to do next. Would Prince Yu really abandon her because of this?
Thinking of this, Han An quickly shook her head, trying to clear her mind of the messy thoughts. At the same time, she kept convincing herself in her heart that no, such a thing would never happen. Prince Yu loved her very much and would never be affected by these external factors.
On the other hand, Zhong Nianyao had no emotion about Han An's departure, as if she had nothing to do with Han An.
"What are you going to do next?" Lu Yichen beside him said, "Tomorrow is the day to make the choice."
"I don't have any plans." Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said with a smile, "Many people came to test the waters today. Of the emperor's seven sons, only Prince Qin, born to the queen, and Prince Lin, born to the concubine, didn't make any moves. I just don't know if they can really sit still or if they have other plans."
"Have you made up your mind?" Lu Yichen asked, "Who are you going to choose?"
"I don't know yet!" Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "We'll know tomorrow."
Lu Yichen nodded. "What about your apprentice? What are you going to do?"
"She's not my disciple anymore." Zhong Nianyao corrected him. "To be precise, she hasn't been my disciple for a long time. Don't blame me for what happened to her!"
There was unspeakable disgust in her tone, and it was obvious how much she was fed up with Han An, her former disciple.
Lu Yichen chuckled, "Since you're so bothered, let's not talk about these things for now. Don't you want to go out of the palace for a walk? Let's go now!"
"Yeah." Zhong Nianyao nodded. "It's just right. I'll go there too and make it public that Han An and I have broken off our relationship. Let everyone know."
Han An returned to Prince Yu's mansion in a daze. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Prince Yu waiting there. When he saw her, his eyes suddenly lit up.
If it were in the past, she would definitely be happy to see Prince Yu upon returning to the mansion. However, when she saw Prince Yu today, she actually had an urge to escape.
Because her trip today not only failed to bring any good news to King Yu, but also deprived her of her most important skill.
Now, when she disliked Zhong Nian Yao, she no longer had the admiration and guilt she had before, and there was even a hint of hatred in her.
"Han'an, what's going on?" Nalan Chenyu immediately stood up to greet Han'an as soon as he saw him coming back. "What did the Imperial Master say?"
If it was his father who chose the heir, he felt that he could still try his best. However, now that his father had handed the choice to the imperial preceptor, he was no longer sure.
Fortunately, he had married Han An. Although the Imperial Master disagreed with Han An marrying him, she was now his wife. Only when he was well could Han An be well. Even if it was just for Han An's sake, he felt that the Imperial Master should give him this opportunity.
"Your Majesty, I—"
Facing Nalan Chenyu's question, Han An's face couldn't help but be stained with a trace of embarrassment and guilt, "Master has her own considerations, she doesn't listen to me at all."
The most important thing is that the master has now vowed that he will never let Prince Yu take this position. She doesn't know how to explain this to Prince Yu.
"Really?" After hearing Han An's answer, Nalan Chenyu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up again. "Then how does the Imperial Master treat you? Is she treating you well?"
As long as the Imperial Master still had Han An as his disciple in his heart, he would have a great chance of ascending to that position. After all, even if the Imperial Master didn't give him face, he should at least give him this opportunity because Han An was one with him.
"Master..." Han An's smile seemed a little forced. "She's probably still angry about what happened back then! But we still get along pretty well."
She didn't dare tell the truth to Prince Yu, even though she was sure that Prince Yu loved her. But for some reason, a voice in her heart told her that she must not tell Prince Yu about these things, otherwise the relationship between them would definitely become very strained.
"That's good." Nalan Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief. "That means that you still exist in the heart of the Imperial Master."
As long as the Imperial Master is still willing to acknowledge Han An as his disciple, he will definitely favor him when making the choice. Then he will have a great chance of becoming the Crown Prince.
Thinking of this, Nalan Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief. He took a step forward, hugged Han An in his arms, and said softly, "Han An, thank you so much. I know that everything you have done is for me. When I ascend to that position, you will be my queen. I will definitely make you the most noble woman in the entire Li Kingdom."
Hearing Nalan Chenyu's gentle words and feeling the warm body hugging him, Han An couldn't help but immerse himself in it.
At this moment, she truly felt very happy. However, at the same time, deep down in her heart, there was a trace of panic and worry. She was afraid that after the prince knew everything, he would abandon her and no longer love her.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Soon, a servant came in and knelt on the ground. "Your Highness, there is a very urgent news. It has spread all over the place. Say... say..."
As he spoke, the servant looked up at Han An from time to time, but couldn't continue when the words came to his lips.
Nalan Chenyu also noticed the servant's strange behavior. A sinister premonition flashed through his mind, and he immediately started to scold him, "What is going on? Tell me quickly. Otherwise, I will kill you right now."
Han An, standing by, didn't say anything. A chill ran down her feet, and her breathing quickened. Although she didn't know what was going on, she was certain it was related to her, and it definitely wasn't a good thing. Otherwise, she wouldn't be hesitating like that.
