Chapter 655: The Return of the Imperial Master
"Since what happened back then is already in the past, I don't intend to dwell on it any longer."
Seeing Nalandeyi's eyes instantly light up, Zhong Nianyao curled up the corners of her mouth into a sarcastic smile and continued, "But don't think that just because I don't care, it means that this matter is over. That's impossible."
After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, the light in Nalandeyi's eyes, which had been holding onto a fluke mentality, suddenly extinguished. He raised a wry smile at the corner of his mouth and said nothing more.
He had already realized this a long time ago. When he made the decision, he knew that the Imperial Master would never forgive him.
Zhong Nianyao ignored Nalan Deyi's disappointment and said directly, "I want you to help me ask Princess Mingyue for someone!"
After hearing what Zhong Nianyao proposed, Nalandeyi nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Imperial Master, no matter what kind of person you want, I will definitely help you."
Zhong Nianyao nodded. "In Princess Mingyue's residence, there's a man named Zhong Mingxin! He was someone Princess Mingyue saved many years ago. However, Princess Mingyue held him captive for ten years in return for a favor."
"What? Mingyue actually did such a thing?" Nalandeyi frowned. "She's a girl, and she actually did such a thing. No wonder she didn't want to get married for so many years! So there's another reason."
"I don't want to know why Princess Mingyue doesn't want to get married." Zhong Nianyao said, "However, Zhong Mingxin and I have a close relationship, so I must take him away."
"I will immediately issue an order to bring Zhong Mingxin to the palace." Nalan Deyi said immediately, "Then the Imperial Master can do whatever he wants."
Hearing Nalandeyi's words, Zhong Nianyao felt speechless for a moment, but she did not specifically clarify, "We can do this tomorrow. I will stay here today."
"Okay," Nalan Deyi said quickly, "This is the Imperial Master's territory, so it's only natural for you to live here. I won't disturb the Imperial Master's rest."
It was not until he was about to leave that Nalandeyi noticed Lu Yichen who had been standing there without saying a word.
Just now, all his attention was on Zhong Nian Yao, so he didn't notice that there was such a powerful man beside Zhong Nian Yao.
However, seeing that neither Zhong Nian Yao nor the man had any intention of introducing themselves, Nalandeyi left tactfully without asking any further questions.
For ten years, the Imperial Master Hall had remained vacant, with no one occupying it. It wasn't that others didn't want to, but rather that no one possessed Zhong Nianyao's strength. There were some half-hearted aspirants to become Imperial Masters, but they were simply exposed.
The lights in the National Master's Hall were on again, and someone moved in.
The news spread quickly, and Nalandeyi did not deliberately conceal it. Because Zhong Nianyao had never said that it could not be spread, he did not hide or cover it up.
The national teacher who once sacrificed himself to heaven has returned and now lives in the national teacher's hall again.
No one doubted the truth of this news. The idea of a dead person coming back to life was absurd, but if this person was the former Li Kingdom's Imperial Preceptor, everything seemed to make sense.
Inside Prince Yu's Mansion——
Han An was washing up and preparing to rest.
Although she was the Princess of Yu, Prince Yu also had two concubines and five maids besides her. As for other women without official status, there were even more.
Prince Yu did not come to her room tonight, so she was washing and dressing alone.
However, unexpectedly, when I was about to turn off the lights and rest, Prince Yu suddenly pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing Prince Yu coming, Han An was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously spoke, "Prince, why are you here?"
Of course, she didn't say this because she didn't like Prince Yu's arrival. It was just that she had known for a long time that Prince Yu had gone to Concubine Li's place tonight. So she couldn't understand why Prince Yu would come again during the rest time.
"Why, you don't welcome me?" Prince Yu Nalan Chenyu smiled slightly, his face filled with endless tenderness. "You are my princess, it's normal for me to come and rest with you!"
Seeing the gentle smile on Nalan Chenyu's face, Han An's cheeks flushed, with endless joy in his eyes, "How could that be? I'm naturally very happy that Your Highness can come to my place. I thought you would stay at Concubine Li's place tonight!"
Nalan Chenyu took Han An's hand and spoke gently, "Han An, I know I may have wronged you during this period. But I have no choice! Concubine Li and Concubine Wu, their maternal families are now supporting me. So, openly, I really can't neglect them too much."
"Your Majesty, I understand."
Han An, who was originally feeling very aggrieved, disappeared without a trace after hearing what Nalan Chenyu said.
She looked at Nalan Chenyu with a touching expression, "As long as the prince has me in his heart, that's enough."
Nalan Chenyu gently embraced Han An in his arms, his voice filled with tenderness, "You are the princess I married despite all odds, and my heart is definitely yours. I'm sorry for wronging you."
Han An looked at Nalan Chenyu's expression, and the joy in his heart could not be hidden at all.
She gently nestled in Nalan Chenyu's arms, her tone full of satisfaction, "Your Highness, being able to marry you is the greatest happiness in Han An's life."
"It is my fortune to marry you." Nalan Chenyu gently embraced Han An, "If it weren't for me, you and the Imperial Master wouldn't have—"
Before he could finish his words, a pair of white and tender hands covered his mouth.
"Your Majesty, everything I have done is worth it." Han An's tone was full of determination. "You are my husband, and husband and wife are one. Being able to help you is enough."
Nalan Chenyu sighed softly, "No matter what, it's all my fault. But fortunately, there's still a chance to correct my mistakes."
"What?" Han An's tone was full of confusion. "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
"Han'an, haven't you heard yet?" Nalan Chenyu was surprised. "The Imperial Master is back and has already moved into the Imperial Master's Palace."
"Master is back?" Han An was shocked and left Nalan Chenyu's arms. "Prince, is what you said true? Master is really back?"
"It's true." Nalan Chenyu nodded, "This is the news that came out from the palace."
