Chapter 680: Fear
After thinking about it, Han An still didn't dare to tell the truth. After she considered it for a while, she spoke, "Your Highness, you also know that Master's attitude towards me is very bad now. Do you think she will really tell me such a thing? Moreover, even if she really tells me, it may not be true!"
After listening to Han An's words, Nalan Chenyu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Han An's words did make sense. The Imperial Master had even publicly announced the severance of ties, which clearly showed that she no longer cared about Han An as her disciple.
The Imperial Master hated Han An so much, and I didn't know if he would vent his anger on me.
I originally thought that Han An being the Imperial Master's apprentice was a good thing for him, but now it seems that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
Thinking of this, Nalan Chenyu's expression turned a little ugly. He waved at Han An and said impatiently, "Okay, there's nothing for you to do here. Go out first!"
The disgusted expression completely lacked the tenderness from before, as if he was just dismissing an insignificant person.
Looking at Nalan Chenyu's attitude, Han An's heart sank to the bottom.
Although she already understood that Nalan Chenyu was using her more than loving her, deep down in her heart she still couldn't help but have a little hope, hoping that Nalan Chenyu was sincere to her.
However, looking at Nalan Chenyu's abandoned look, she knew that everything she had was just an illusion.
After leaving the room and closing the door, Han An stood there, a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes.
Now she has almost lost everything: her status as the national teacher's apprentice, her fortune-telling skills, and the love of her self-righteous Prince Yu.
She had almost nothing now, so she absolutely could not lose her status as Princess Yu. Otherwise, she would really have nothing. If she lost Prince Yu's love, she would have to keep her position as Princess Yu. She would never give Prince Yu any chance to get rid of her.
Thinking of this, Han An couldn't help but curl up a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth.
The guards at the door shuddered when they saw the smile on Han An's face. They even wondered if they were seeing things. The princess was usually gentle and charming, so how could she possibly have such a sinister smile?
They rubbed their eyes and when they looked at Han An again, they saw the same dignified, gentle and kind princess as before.
Han An nodded slightly to the two guards before turning and leaving.
Zhong Nian Yao got up early in the morning, had breakfast, and then walked towards the imperial study with Lu Yichen.
In the Imperial Study——
The atmosphere was particularly solemn. Nalandeyi's seven sons were now in the imperial study.
They already knew the purpose of coming here today. Even if they were just standing here, they could no longer control the messy and strange thoughts that emerged in their hearts.
However, there was one person with a particularly grim expression, and that was Nalan Chenyu. Although he had been mentally prepared to some extent, deep down in his heart, he still had a little bit of luck.
As for the others, they all had their own thoughts. Whether they had taken action yesterday or not, they all felt a little uneasy at this moment.
After all, from the very beginning, no one would have thought that the emperor would give the power of selecting the heir to the imperial preceptor. Especially since the imperial preceptor had just returned and was so eager to choose the next crown prince.
Nalandeyi glanced at his sons, his sharp eyes falling on them from time to time, as if he was considering something.
Faced with such a sharp gaze, those with something to hide could not help but dodge.
Looking at those eyes that didn't dare to look at him, a hint of disappointment flashed in Nalandeyi's eyes.
Although he knew something about these sons, he found that they still hid a lot from him.
As expected, he was right to entrust the responsibility of selecting the next king to the Imperial Preceptor. The Imperial Preceptor would surely be able to select the most suitable successor and strengthen their Li Kingdom.
While he was thinking, someone came in and reported that the imperial teacher had arrived.
Nalandeyi quickly stood up, and when he saw Zhong Nianyao coming in, he immediately stood up to greet her.
"National Master, you're here!"
However, when he saw Lu Yichen entering the room with Zhong Nianyao, the expression on his face became a little strange, "National Master, this——"
Selecting a suitable next monarch is a very serious matter. In this imperial study, except for the old eunuchs who have served him for many years, everyone else has been driven out.
But now Zhong Nian Yao brought a stranger in. Isn’t that a bad thing?
Zhong Nianyao glanced at Lu Yichen beside her, then smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, he won't say anything nonsense. And-"
"Your Majesty, you probably don't know this, but he and I are the same kind of people. It's just that his strength is greater than mine. How should I put it? With a wave of his hand, the entire Li Kingdom can be reduced to ashes in an instant."
"I'm not exaggerating, this is the truth. You should also know that I never lie."
When she said this, Zhong Nian Yao did not care about the presence of anyone, so everyone in the imperial study heard Zhong Nian Yao's clear voice.
Suddenly, except for Zhong Nianyao, everyone looked at Lu Yichen with a strong fear in their eyes.
How could a person who can destroy a country with a wave of his hand be an ordinary person!
They should have thought of it earlier. How could a person like the National Master find an ordinary person as his partner!
Looking at the other people's eyes, Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "You don't have to worry. Although he has such strength, he is not someone who likes to kill innocent people. So he won't destroy the Li Kingdom."
Although he said this, Nalandeyi still couldn't help but feel a little more wary and flattering when facing Lu Yichen.
"Master, these are my seven sons."
Nalandeyi hadn't forgotten his main purpose for today. He pointed at his sons lined up in a row and said, "Please choose the most suitable heir for me. I believe that the crown prince you choose will be able to lead our Li Kingdom to greatness."
Zhong Nianyao curled up the corner of her mouth into a smile, then took Lu Yichen's hand and slowly walked past the seven princes.
