Chapter 679 Can’t afford to lose

Hearing Nalan Chenyu's scolding, the servant did not dare to hide anything and immediately spoke out the truth, "It has spread outside now, say... say..."

After gritting his teeth, the servant finally spoke out, "It said that the relationship between the Imperial Master and the Princess had long been severed. It was sent by the Imperial Master himself, saying that there was no relationship between her and the Princess any longer."

"What?" Nalan Chenyu was shocked. He took a step forward and pushed Han An away without showing any mercy. "What is going on? Explain it to me."

The servant knelt on the ground and began to tremble. "Your Majesty, your servant...your servant..."

"Now the news has spread all over the capital, and everyone has already returned. It was the Imperial Master, and she just posted this matter directly on the imperial edict."

After listening to the servant's narration, Nalan Chenyu couldn't help but take two steps back. He shouted angrily, "Get lost——"

It was clearly a scolding, but the servant stood up swiftly and left as if he had been saved.

Before leaving, he remembered to close the door.

Soon, only Nalan Chenyu and Han An were left in the room, and neither of them spoke first. The whole room was filled with an atmosphere of silence and awkwardness, making people feel suffocated.

Han An kept her head down. In this quiet atmosphere, she could almost feel her own heartbeat. Now, she didn't even dare to breathe.

She had never expected that Zhong Nianyao would really disregard their past friendship and directly make this matter public. She even used such a method, which was a great humiliation for her.

Now everyone in the capital knew that she was the abandoned disciple of the Imperial Master. Everyone would laugh at her, thinking that she must have done something terribly wrong, otherwise she would not have been expelled from the Imperial Master's school.

Zhong Nianyao once sacrificed herself to the gods, which helped to end the drought in Li and saved countless people. This time, the return of the national master made all the people grateful. Especially the people of Li, who still regard the national master as a great benefactor.

Now that this notice has come out, everyone will think it is her fault, and will definitely not think it is the fault of the National Master.

However, what she was most worried about now was what King Yu would think. Just now, she told King Yu that she and her master got along well. But after a while, she was immediately slapped in the face. She didn't know how King Yu would view her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly look in the direction of Prince Yu. Unexpectedly, as soon as she looked over, she met Prince Yu's cold eyes.

In an instant, Han An felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body was freezing cold.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

When Nalan Chenyu looked at Han An, the gentleness he had just shown was long gone. He seemed cold and heartless, as if he was not facing his wife, but a stranger, and a stranger who had offended him.

"Your Highness, I--" Han An opened her mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

"What exactly is going on between you and the Imperial Master?" Nalan Chenyu's cold voice contained no emotion. "Don't try to deceive me, or don't blame me for not cherishing our friendship."

Seeing Nalan Chenyu's cold look, Han An's heart couldn't help but skip a beat. She remembered what Zhong Nianyao had said to her, that Nalan Chenyu married her only because she was the apprentice of the national teacher. She didn't want to believe it, and she didn't dare to believe it.

Seeing Nalan Chenyu's attitude now, she had to believe that the love she had always believed in might really be just her wishful thinking. The reason why Nalan Chenyu was willing to love her and marry her was just because she was the apprentice of the national teacher.

In fact, in recent times, Nalan Chenyu and Concubine Wan had been so nice to her only because the Imperial Master had returned and they thought she was still of some use to them.

"What are you still in a daze about?"

Seeing that Han An had no reaction, Nalan Chenyu couldn't help but have a hint of impatience in his tone, "Don't tell me what happened between you and the Imperial Master?"

At this point, Han An could only bite his lip and tell the conversation between him and Zhong Nian Yao.

Of course, she still concealed the fact that Zhong Nianyao had once said that the next heir could never be Prince Yu, and that her divination skills had been taken back by Zhong Nianyao.

She was not stupid, so she knew very well that if she really told these two things, she, the Princess Yu, might have to step down today, without having to wait until tomorrow.

Listening to Han An's narration, Nalan Chenyu's face became darker and darker, and finally a chill emanated from his whole body, making the temperature around him seem to drop by several degrees.

"So, you have pissed off the Imperial Master now, right?" Nalan Chenyu looked at Han An steadily, "Not only did your trip today fail to win the Imperial Master's favor, but it made her hate me even more, right?"

With each question, Han An didn't know what to say.

After taking a deep breath, she finally spoke, "Your Highness, Master must still be holding a grudge against what happened back then. After all, what I did back then was a betrayal to her."

Even though she knew that Prince Yu was with her because of her status, she absolutely could not give up her status and position now.

She has been Princess Yu for so many years, and she must not step down no matter what.

Now her master and she have severed all ties, she has also lost all her skills, and she has no way out. Therefore, even if she knew the true intentions of King Yu, she would never give up everything she has now.

She can't afford to lose.

After hearing Han An's words, Nalan Chenyu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He was the one who personally told his father about the incident. If it was really because of this incident that the Imperial Master was no longer willing to acknowledge Han An as his disciple, then he also had some responsibility.

He no longer had the right to blame Han An for anything.

Taking a deep breath, Nalan Chenyu tried to calm himself down, looked at Han An, and said, "Okay, I won't bother with you about other things for now. I just want to ask you one thing, which of our brothers does the Imperial Master like?"
