Chapter 683: A Guarantee
Hearing what Zhong Nianyao asked, Nalan Chenyu was shocked, but his face remained calm. "The reason why I asked to marry Han An is naturally because I like her. She is a very good girl, and it is normal for me to like her."
"Oh, really?" Zhong Nianyao nodded. "If that's the case, then I'm really relieved."
"Although Han An and I have severed all ties, she has been my apprentice for so many years, and I hope she can live a happy life. Therefore, I think I still need to provide her with some protection."
After hearing what Zhong Nian Yao said, Nalan Chenyu was so angry that he almost vomited blood before he could figure out what was going on.
Zhong Nianyao turned her head and looked at Nalan Deyi, saying, "Your Majesty, since Prince Yu just said that he asked to marry Han An because he truly loved her, without any other motives, then I believe her. Even though the relationship between master and disciple is over now, we were master and disciple for so many years, so I hope to ask for mercy for her."
"Master, please speak up," Nalan Deyi said quickly. "You have sacrificed so much for our Li Kingdom. I will grant any request you make, as long as it does not endanger our country."
As soon as these words were spoken, Nalan Chenyu looked up suddenly, with a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.
He had always known that his father valued the Imperial Master very much, but it was not until today that he understood to what extent his father valued the Imperial Master.
As long as it doesn't endanger the country, any request can be agreed to. What a huge authority!
He even felt that all his sons combined might not be able to match the status of the Imperial Master in his father's heart.
Zhong Nianyao looked towards Nalan Chenyu, a bright smile on her lips, and then she slowly said, "It's very simple, actually. I just hope that the emperor can issue an imperial decree to commend Princess Yu and wish Prince Yu and Princess Yu a long and happy life together."
Nalan Chenyu looked at Zhong Nianyao in shock. His lips moved, his face turned grim, but he didn't say anything. He still remembered the questions Zhong Nianyao had just asked and his responses. If he spoke now, then all he had said would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's request, Nalan Deyi was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, "Okay, I will issue an order in a moment. I will definitely let Prince Yu and his wife live together forever."
Zhong Nianyao nodded and said, "Thank you very much."
Nalan Chenyu's face was ashen. He had never expected that the Imperial Master would actually make such a request. However, the most outrageous thing was that his father actually agreed.
Just now, he was still thinking about asking Han An to give up the position of princess and he would find a way to marry another lady from a famous family. However, after his father's imperial decree came, Han An would be his princess for the rest of her life.
Han An was no longer the Imperial Master's apprentice, and was of little use to him. However, he hadn't considered abandoning Han An completely; he intended to relegate her to the position of concubine. After all, Han An had once been the Imperial Master's apprentice, and her divination skills were quite good.
However, now all his plans were overturned. For a moment, his mind was in turmoil and he couldn't think of any better solution.
"Okay, you go out first!" Nalan Deyi waved his hand and sent Nalan Chenyu out.
Nalan Chenyu hung his head, and an aura of decadence emanated from him, making him look as if he had lost all his energy and spirit, living like a walking corpse.
Nalan Deyi did not notice Nalan Chenyu's abnormality. Now he wanted to raise some questions in his mind so that Zhong Nian Yao could answer her.
Moreover, Zhong Nianyao had just told him what Nalan Chenyu had done secretly, and now he was completely disappointed with his son Nalan Chenyu.
After Nalan Chenyu left, Nalan Deyi sent away all the old eunuchs who served him.
Soon, there were only three people left in the imperial study. Nalan Deyi wanted to ask Lu Yichen to leave as well, but the pressure he emanated from him made him want to submit.
Thinking of what Zhong Nianyao had said before about Lu Yichen's strength, he dared not say anything anymore.
Nalandeyi tried hard to ignore Lu Yichen's existence, but when he looked at Zhong Nianyao, he couldn't help but feel the urge to escape for a moment.
Zhong Nianyao glanced at Nalandeyi and said slowly, "Your Majesty, if you have anything you want to ask me, please take this opportunity to ask! I will be leaving here tomorrow."
"So soon." Nalan Deyi spoke subconsciously, then realized that he seemed a little excited and took a deep breath. "State Master, can't you stay for two more days?"
Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "Even though I'm still standing in front of you, it doesn't mean I should continue living in Li Country. Ten years ago, I no longer belonged to Li Country, nor to this world."
Nalandeyi originally wanted to say something to persuade her to stay, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.
Back then, even though the Imperial Master had said he was willing to sacrifice himself to Heaven, he still had his faults. Therefore, the Imperial Master decided to leave, and he couldn't stop him.
After pondering for a while, Nalan Deyi finally spoke, "National Master, why did you choose Chen Lang?"
"Because he is the next emperor." Zhong Nianyao did not hide anything, "He has the aura of an emperor. He is the destined emperor. And--"
"And what?" Nalandeyi asked anxiously.
"Nalan Chenlang carries a strong imperial aura, even stronger than you did back then." A faint glint flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes, and her voice became somewhat distant. "He is the destined Purple Star. When he succeeds to the throne in the future, he can lead the Li Kingdom to its highest heights."
"What?"
Nalan Deyi's face was filled with excitement and his voice was trembling. "Master, are you...are you telling the truth? Is Chen Lang really-"
If his son could really do this, he would be very happy even if he was already underground.
"I wouldn't joke about something like this." Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head. "Even if I don't choose him today, he will definitely be the one to ascend the throne in the future."
