Chapter 686 Leaving
"Isn't this great?" Zhong Nianyao's lips curled up into a meaningful smile. "Nalan Chenyu has always said that he loves Han An, and Han An is willing to give up everything for Prince Yu. Since they are in love and have been husband and wife for many years, it is natural for them to continue to be husband and wife for a long time."
"Are you sure they can really be a couple forever?" Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows and said, "They both have their own little thoughts. They are destined not to live together."
"With the imperial decree, they can definitely grow old together." Zhong Nianyao smiled slightly, "However, marriage depends on two people to manage it. If they are willing to live a good life, they can naturally live a good life. However, no matter whether they are willing to live a good life or not, the result will not change."
Even if they hate each other, they must live together for a lifetime.
Hearing the hidden meaning in Zhong Nianyao's words, Lu Yichen couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems that you are very satisfied with this result!"
"Of course," Zhong Nianyao nodded. "Don't you know? I personally requested the imperial edict!"
At this moment, a palace maid walked in, "Master Imperial Master, Princess Yu is here, and she wants to see you."
After hearing the palace maid's report, Zhong Nianyao was not surprised. She nodded and said, "In that case, let's bring the person in!"
The palace maid quickly retreated.
"You want to see her?" Lu Yichen's tone was a little surprised. "I thought you didn't plan to see her again!"
"Haha, why not?" Zhong Nianyao shrugged and said with a smile, "This should be the last time we see each other! You should leave first! She and I have something to say alone."
Lu Yichen nodded and left.
Soon, Han An walked in alone. As soon as she came in, she found that she and Zhong Nianyao were the only two people in this huge hall.
"Master..." Han An started subconsciously, then as if he had thought of something, he immediately changed his words, "Master Imperial Master."
She didn't know why she came here today. After a quarrel with Nalan Chenyu, she was like a wandering soul, unknowingly entering the palace and arriving at the Imperial Master's Hall.
When she found herself standing at the entrance of the Imperial Master's Hall, an impulse suddenly surged from the depths of her heart. She wanted to ask Zhong Nianyao why she had requested such an imperial decree. She didn't think that this imperial decree was helping her.
"Princess Yu, is there something wrong?"
Zhong Nianyao sat in the main seat, looking relaxed and at ease, yet somewhat lazy. "You're coming here at this time, aren't you just giving me a farewell party?"
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's comfortable appearance, Han An couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous. It seemed that no matter in the past or now, Zhong Nianyao could live a carefree life without any worries at all.
But what about her? She was almost sold into a brothel by her parents. She married Prince Yu, thinking she was marrying for love, but in the end, it was all just a scam.
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, "You want to leave?"
She had never thought that Zhong Nianyao would leave. She thought that Zhong Nianyao's return this time meant that she would stay in Li Kingdom forever. Now, when she suddenly heard that Zhong Nianyao was leaving, for a moment, her expression could not help but be a little dazed.
"Is it strange?" Zhong Nianyao took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "I left the Kingdom of Li ten years ago. I have been away from the position of Imperial Master for ten years. I came back this time only because of some unexpected circumstances."
"Why are you leaving?" Han An's tone was filled with anxiety. "Second to the emperor, above ten thousand people, no one dares to offend you except the emperor. Even the emperor treats you with great courtesy. Isn't this a good life?"
"Oh, you think this kind of life is good?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Han An, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes, "If that's the case, then why did you marry Prince Yu in the first place? Wouldn't it be good for you to inherit the position of our national teacher?"
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Han An was stunned for a moment, and then an unknown light flashed in his eyes. He didn't say anything, just stood there quietly. I don't know if he regretted his original choice, or because of his original choice, he felt sorry for Zhong Nianyao.
Seeing Han An's appearance, Zhong Nianyao did not continue the topic, but spoke directly, "Okay, what is the matter that you came to see me today? If it's nothing, then leave quickly. I'm leaving tomorrow. Tonight, I plan to have a good rest!"
As she spoke, she glanced outside and continued, "Also, the time for the palace gates to be locked is almost here. If you can't leave the palace, are you planning to stay in Concubine Wan's palace tonight?"
When she finished speaking, Zhong Nianyao's tone couldn't help but be tinged with a hint of sarcasm.
Concubine Wan and Han An were a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were at odds with each other. Han An absolutely could not possibly go to Concubine Wan's palace to spend the night, especially with such an imperial decree today. If she went to Concubine Wan's palace, she would have to be prepared to be tortured.
After all, in this era where filial piety is paramount, in the war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the one who has the upper hand is definitely the mother-in-law. The word "filial piety" is enough to crush someone.
When Han An heard the name of Concubine Wan, he couldn't help but shudder. "Master Imperial Master, I came here today just to ask a question. Why did you ask the Emperor for such an imperial decree? Haven't you already been unwilling to let me, your disciple, do this?"
"Oh, don't you want this imperial edict?" Zhong Nianyao smiled lazily, "If you don't have this imperial edict, you might not be Princess Yu when you wake up tomorrow morning!"
A trace of humiliation flashed across Han An's face, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think this imperial edict can solve my problem? Do you know that because of this imperial edict, the prince and I will become enemies?"
"Does this have anything to do with me?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Han An. "If you and your spouse really have a deep relationship, this imperial edict is just a decoration to you, isn't it?"
"Since you're able to cause such a commotion, it means that the relationship between you two really isn't that great! Otherwise, you should all be happy about this imperial decree! It's a great guarantee."
