Chapter 684 Imperial Edict
Zhong Nianyao was telling the truth and was not trying to please Nalandeyi.
The moment she saw Nalan Chenlang, she knew he was a natural emperor. When he ascended the throne, he would lead the Kingdom of Li to unprecedented heights.
I think this should be the prosperous scene that Master wants to see!
After listening to Zhong Nianyao's words, Nalandeyi was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
After a long while, he slowly calmed himself down and then spoke, "I will enthrone Chen Lang as the Crown Prince as soon as possible, and I will personally teach him how to become a qualified king."
After hearing what Nalandeyi said, Zhong Nianyao nodded, and when she looked at him, there was a hint of admiration and recognition in her eyes.
Many people lose their true nature after ascending to this supreme position. Once they've experienced the feeling of power and authority, it's hard to let go. Throughout history, there are countless examples of fathers and sons turning against each other over the throne.
However, Nalanda Deyi was a very generous monarch. He began to train the next heir and never worried about the loss of power in his hands.
After thinking for a moment, Zhong Nianyao took out two brocade bags and handed them to Nalan Deyi. "Give these two brocade bags to the King of Qin and let him open them when he is most in danger."
Nalandeyi took the sachet handed over by Zhong Nianyao and couldn't help asking, "Where is this——"
"Just give it to him." Zhong Nianyao didn't explain anything. "This is very important to him."
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Nalandeyi did not continue to ask questions, but just took the treasure bag in silence.
He knew Zhong Nianyao's abilities.
Zhong Nianyao took out the brocade bag today, which means that Chen Lang will definitely encounter some major challenges in his life in the future. Otherwise, Zhong Nianyao would not have given them these things.
The important matters had been completed, so Zhong Nianyao naturally had no intention of staying any longer. She took Lu Yichen's hand and left the imperial study.
Soon, Nalandeyi called all his seven sons in.
Just now, the seven princes were just sitting in the side hall next to the imperial study. Since the emperor had not yet asked them to leave, they naturally did not dare to act rashly.
Even though the overall situation has been initially settled, they absolutely dare not show their inner resentment and anger.
No one except the parties involved knows what was said in there.
But after the seven princes came out, they all had different expressions, some happy and some sad. However, the one with the ugliest expression among them was Nalan Chenyu.
A distraught Nalan Chenyu returned to Prince Yu's mansion. The bright yellow imperial edict in his hand was particularly eye-catching.
Han An was also anxiously waiting in the palace. Although her master had been very heartless yesterday and had announced their severance of ties, she still clung to a glimmer of hope in her heart. What if there was still a chance of recovery?
However, now that she saw Nalan Chenyu's return, the last glimmer of hope in her heart was shattered. At the same time, she secretly hated Zhong Nianyao's ruthlessness.
"Your Highness, you're back." Han An stepped forward and spoke cautiously.
Nalan Chenyu waved away all the servants.
In the huge living room, only the couple were left.
Han An felt a little uneasy. She took a step forward and spoke carefully, "Prince, what's wrong with you?"
"Han'an, you should be very happy now!"
Nalan Chenyu no longer pretended. When he looked at Han An, the disgust in his eyes could not be concealed. "I really didn't expect that you would be so scheming. It seems that I underestimated you before!"
Even though she had long known that Nalan Chenyu's so-called sincerity towards her was mixed with water, her heart still couldn't help but be hurt when she saw Nalan Chenyu's obvious disdain. "Your Highness, I don't understand what you are saying. It's true that Master doesn't want to listen to me, but this is not my fault alone!"
Back then, she had indeed betrayed her master. However, she wasn't the one who ultimately killed her master. She wasn't that powerful yet. Ultimately, it was the royal family who forced her master to perform the sacrifice.
"Hmph, whether you've severed ties with the Imperial Master or not, only you know." Nalan Chenyu snorted coldly, "Did you reach an agreement with the Imperial Master? Did you betray me?"
"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Han An choked up and said, "I am devoted to you, how could I possibly betray you?"
"Single-minded?" Nalan Chenyu sneered and threw the imperial edict in his hand directly into Han An's arms. "Take a good look at yourself. This is what you call single-minded. If you and the Imperial Preceptor really had a falling out, why would she ask for this imperial edict for you? Don't you think these words are really ridiculous?"
Han An didn't understand what Nalan Chenyu meant at all. She opened the imperial edict with some confusion. When she saw the contents of the imperial edict clearly, her pupils shrank slightly, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, but her face remained calm, even with a hint of grievance.
"Your Highness, I truly had no knowledge of this matter. My master has truly expelled me from the sect."
She had never expected that her master would actually ask for such an imperial edict. She didn't know what her master's purpose was. But no matter what, this imperial edict was very beneficial to her.
She knew very well that her master had severed all ties with her. From now on, she was no longer the Imperial Master's apprentice, but an unknown orphan. Even her only skill, fortune-telling, had been taken away by her master.
After Nalan Chenyu entered the palace today, she, hoping for a lucky break, tried a divination. However, she found she couldn't even remember how to do it. No matter how hard she tried, she got nothing.
She had to accept the fact that she really had no advantages at the moment. She was really worried that Concubine Wan and the prince would abolish her position as princess.
Now that she had this imperial decree, she was truly fearless. No matter what happened in the future, even if Nalan Chenyu knew that she had lost her ability to divine fortunes, she would be able to secure her position as Princess Yu.
However, she could not show the joy in her heart at all, because she could see that Nalan Chenyu was furious at the moment.
