What a blast!Boss, she is slapping her face like crazy again

Chapter 672 Part of the Test
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's resolute attitude, Nalan Deyi still wanted to ask her to stay. However, before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by Zhong Nianyao.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to keep me here." Zhong Nianyao raised her head. Although her tone was indifferent, her attitude was extremely firm. "I will not change my decision. I came here today just to say goodbye to you."

For a moment, Nalandeyi didn't know what else he could do.

After a long while, he sighed and said helplessly, "Since the Imperial Master's attitude is so firm, it would be embarrassing for me to continue to keep you. However, before I leave, I have one more thing I would like to ask the Imperial Master for help."

Obviously, he could not bring back the person who was leaving. In this case, he could only take advantage of this last chance to ask the other party for one more favor.

"Oh?" Zhong Nianyao raised her eyebrows and said, "Then just tell me! I need to know what it is, so I can decide whether I can help."

Now she didn't know what Nalandeyi would ask her for, so she naturally couldn't easily agree. Although she knew that Nalandeyi was a good king, she didn't trust him very much. So, she wouldn't agree easily.

"Master, this matter will not embarrass you." Nalandeyi also saw Zhong Nianyao's distrust, but he was not angry, but continued, "I am not young anymore, and I don't know how long I can sit on this seat. Therefore, I want to take advantage of my health and personally train a successor. I hope--"

When he said this, he raised his head and looked at Zhong Nianyao, his eyes full of determination, "Master, you can choose the best successor for me."

He did not make this decision on impulse, but after careful consideration. He has seven sons, each of whom is very capable and filial. Of course, he does not know whether this is the true nature of these children or just a disguise.

Because these children are all outstanding, he is still a little hesitant in choosing the successor. Now, he gives the right of choice to the national teacher, and he believes that the national teacher will be able to choose the most suitable next king.

"Do you trust me so much?" Zhong Nianyao was a little surprised. "Aren't you worried that I will have my own selfish motives when choosing the next king?"

She had never expected Nalandeyi's request. She had thought of many possibilities, but she had never thought of this one. She had never expected that Nalandeyi would trust her to such an extent.

Hearing Zhong Nianyao's question, Nalandeyi shook his head and said with a smile, "It may not be possible for others, but you, the Imperial Master, are the one I trust the most. Because I believe that in your heart, you still care about the millions of people of the Li Kingdom."

Although he had forced the Imperial Master to sacrifice himself to the Heaven, he knew that if the Imperial Master had not agreed, he would never have succeeded. It had been so many years, and he still knew what the Imperial Master was capable of. If the Imperial Master had not agreed, he would never have been able to force the Imperial Master to sacrifice himself to the Heaven.

Therefore, he knew the kindness of the national teacher in his heart, and no matter what he did, he would always consider it from the perspective of the people. He gave the power to choose the next king to the national teacher, and he believed that the national teacher would definitely be able to choose the most suitable one.

After thinking for a moment, Zhong Nianyao nodded, "Okay, if that's the case, then I won't refuse. In two days, you ask all the princes to come here, and I'll give you an answer after I take a look."

Finally getting Zhong Nianyao's consent, Nalandeyi breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded gratefully towards Zhong Nianyao, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Imperial Master."

Zhong Nianyao's eyes rolled, and then as if she had thought of something, she continued, "There is one more thing. There is no need to hide our conversation today. It's best to let someone leak the news."

Nalandeyi was stunned for a moment, "Master, why is this? Aren't you worried——" Zhong Nianyao smiled slightly, "How do you know that this is not part of the test?"

Hearing this, Nalandeyi's eyes flashed with understanding, and he said nothing more.

With Nalandeyi's connivance, although the news that the next king of Li would be selected by the national teacher was not widely spread, everyone who should know it knew about it.

The seven princes all knew the news, and everyone had different reactions. Some were already very anxious, but some were still calm.

In Prince Yu’s Palace——

Nalan Chenyu was originally handling official business in the study, but he received a message from Concubine Wan in the palace. Immediately, he fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a moment, he directly ordered, "Come here, go and invite the princess over now."

Soon, Han An hurried over. After entering the room, she spoke anxiously, "My Lord, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"

Looking at Han An who came hurriedly, Nalan Chenyu's eyes flashed with a deep look, then he stood up, came to Han An, took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the sweat off Han An's forehead, and said softly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't I tell you? No matter what happens, don't be too anxious!"

Watching Nalan Chenyu's actions, Han An remained motionless, with a hint of trance in his expression.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since they had such an intimate gesture, or rather, it had been a long time since Nalan Chenyu had treated her so gently. The last time they had done this, they hadn't gotten married yet.

Now, in a trance, she seemed to have returned to the time when their love was at its peak.

For a moment, a hint of joy flashed through Han An's eyes, but she did not forget the main business.

"I heard that the prince had an urgent matter, so I rushed here in a hurry. Prince, has something happened?"

Nalan Chenyu smiled at Han An, then continued, "Indeed, something big happened. Mother just got the news from the palace. Father is planning to appoint a crown prince."

"What?" Han An was also shocked. "How could it be so sudden? There had been no rumors before! Moreover, my father is in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, how could he think of appointing a crown prince?"

"Is there any misunderstanding in this news?"
