Although Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao had already walked far away, they could still hear the conversation behind them. However, their expressions did not change at all.

Only after he walked away and completely disappeared from the sight of the young woman did Lu Yichen look at Zhong Nianyao and ask, "Do you know that person?"

Although it is a question, it has an affirmative tone.

"Yes!" Zhong Nianyao nodded, then smiled and said, "Well, how should I put it? She should be considered as my former apprentice!"

If it was before, she might still feel a little sad when talking about this matter. But now her memory has been awakened. Now thinking about everything that happened in Li Country, she has long been calm, and can even watch it coldly like an outsider.

"Once?" Lu Yichen obviously didn't miss these two words, "That is to say, it wasn't the case anymore."

"She was so ambitious!" Zhong Nianyao shook her head and continued, "Come to think of it, I was the one who gave that girl her name! At that time, she should have been a little girl of about ten years old, and she was pretty. Her parents planned to sell her to a brothel so that they could get money to marry their eldest son. At that time, although I was still young, I had already become the state teacher of the Li Kingdom. I happened to pass by and saw this incident."

"I saw that she was very talented in fortune-telling, so I accepted her as my apprentice and named her Han An, because it was the coldest time of the year when I accepted her as my apprentice. I had planned to train her to be the successor of the Imperial Master, and then I would resign from the position of Imperial Master and travel around while I was still young."

"But this girl was very ambitious and couldn't stand the loneliness of the Imperial Master's Palace. In the end, she was seduced away by the Emperor's fifth son, Prince Yu. And -"

When she said this, a trace of confusion flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes. "I think that when I was forced by the royal family to sacrifice myself to the heaven, it must have been partly because of her."

"She betrayed you." Lu Yichen said this with an affirmative tone, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Han An, who was on her way back home at this time, shuddered involuntarily. Then she looked around but found nothing.

"It's not really a betrayal!" Zhong Nianyao shook her head and continued, "At the beginning, I calculated that as long as I sacrificed myself to the heaven, the drought in Li Kingdom could be relieved. However, the only people who knew about this were me and her. The reason why the people of the Li Kingdom's royal family knew about it must be because she told them!"

"Ungrateful bastard." Lu Yichen spat out three words coldly.

"She is indeed an ungrateful person." Zhong Nianyao nodded in agreement. "She is not only an ungrateful person, but also very stupid. She probably thinks that she can please Prince Yu by telling him the results of my fortune-telling. It's a pity that she doesn't understand one thing. She is an orphan. How can she be worthy of becoming Prince Yu's consort?"

Han An was indeed naive enough, and she really thought that Prince Yu really loved her, so he married her as his princess. However, she did not think carefully about it. If she was not the disciple of the national teacher, how could she, an orphan, hold the position of Princess Yu firmly?

Doesn’t the maid’s attitude just now explain everything?
"I can't tell. Your vision wasn't that good before!" Lu Yichen said jokingly with a smile, "Why did you choose such a fool as your apprentice?"

"Alas, I was young and ignorant at that time!" Zhong Nianyao shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently, "Besides, she is not good at other things, but she is still talented in divination. If she is trained well, I can retire early."

If Han An didn't have any outstanding qualities, she wouldn't have liked him. Unfortunately, she chose the wrong person and fell in love with him. Of course, maybe it was because she was ambitious and didn't want to stay in the Imperial Master Palace forever!
"So what are you going to do now?" Lu Yichen asked, "Are you going to let her continue to be free and easy like this?" "Free and easy?" Zhong Nianyao shook her head in amusement, "Even a maid dares to yell at her like this, do you really think her life is that easy?"

Although Han An also threatened the maid in the end, this maid was the first one, but she would not be the last one. It is true that as she said, she could have dealt with the maid. But Prince Yu's biological mother, Concubine Wan, liked her to begin with. If this maid was gone, there would definitely be another one.

Without the support of his master, the imperial master, Han An's life in Prince Yu's mansion is not easy.

"So, you're going to just let it go?" Lu Yichen raised his eyebrows, "This is not like your character!"

In his memory, although Zhong Nianyao was not a vindictive person, she was not a magnanimous person either. How could he be calm and indifferent when facing the disciple who betrayed him?
"That's because I don't care at all!" Zhong Nianyao smiled and shook her head, "The relationship between her and me as a master and disciple has long disappeared. Let's forget about everything that happened before!"

Since there is no affection between them anymore, she and Han An are just strangers. No one would think of doing anything to a stranger.

Seeing that Zhong Nianyao had completely let it go, Lu Yichen didn't say anything else.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Zhong Nianyao took Lu Yichen's hand and said with a smile, "It's really a letdown to mention irrelevant people. Since we've come here by chance, let's take a good look around! And let you get to know my past life."

Lu Yichen looked at Zhong Nian Yao with full doting, letting Zhong Nian Yao take him around.

The two of them just wandered around without any destination, stopping to talk from time to time, or taking a break at a roadside stall, without any pressure, and seemed particularly comfortable.

At this moment, the two of them were just like an ordinary couple. Fortunately, they hid their true identities, otherwise they would definitely attract a lot of attention.

However, even though they had hidden their true identities, their extraordinary temperament still attracted some people's attention.

It was not until the evening that the two returned to the inn.

After walking around for a whole day, Zhong Nianyao finally decided to have dinner in the inn.

This inn is similar to modern hotels, with the upper floors being where guests stay and the lower floors being where they eat.

Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao were eating at a small table beside the hall in a noisy environment. (End of this chapter)
