"I didn't." Nalan Chenyu denied it subconsciously, "I don't understand what you mean. I'm not jealous, I just think that your way of choosing a crown prince is too frivolous."

"Is this a joke?" Zhong Nianyao looked at the other princes and raised a meaningful smile. "Do you also think that what I am doing is a joke?"

Except for Nalan Chenlang, the other princes were naturally very dissatisfied with this result. However, the person standing in front of them was not an ordinary person, but a national teacher who could almost call the wind and rain. Moreover, the emperor had great trust in the national teacher. Compared with his sons, the national teacher was more important in his heart!
In addition, the emperor is watching from the side, so even if they have opinions in their hearts, they dare not speak out. Otherwise, they will not only offend the imperial teacher, but also challenge the emperor's authority.

This is definitely not worth it for them.

Seeing the other half-brothers denying one after another, Nalan Chenyu's face was not very good. He didn't expect that they were so timid. Now that he was the first to speak out, there was no room for retreat.

Zhong Nianyao looked down at Nalan Chenyu, "Don't make your purpose sound so high-sounding. The reason you are against it now is just because the person I chose is not you. But do you really think you deserve to sit in that position?"

At this point, Nalan Chenyu no longer had anything to hide. "Why am I not worthy? Over the years, I have done so much for the people. Many natural disasters were discovered in advance by me, so they were avoided. Why am I not qualified?"

"You discovered it in advance?" Zhong Nianyao smiled, "Did you really discover it? Wasn't it your princess who calculated it?"

As soon as these words came out, Nalan Chenyu's face changed drastically, but he immediately returned to his normal appearance and said calmly, "What are you talking about, Master Imperial Master? I don't quite understand what you mean."

"You really don't understand?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Nalan Chenyu steadily, and then said, "Do you really think you are suitable to be an emperor? Do you want me to tell you everything you have done?"

Nalan Chenyu was shocked and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

Zhong Nianyao spoke slowly, "Nalan Chenyu, three years ago when you were in charge of repairing the roads in the capital, you embezzled 50,000 taels of silver. Then three years ago, in order to put your confidant in the Ministry of Personnel, you designed a plan to cause your competitor to have an accident and lose both his hands."

After hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, everyone present was stunned. When the other princes looked at Nalan Chenyu, they couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy.

All the blood color on Nalan Chenyu's face suddenly faded away, and his whole face turned frighteningly pale. He knelt there, his whole body shaky, as if he would fall down in the next second.

However, at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Like Nalan Chenyu, they had a lot of shameful things to do.

Since the Imperial Master knows about Nalan Chenyu’s affairs, does that mean he can also know about their affairs?

Sure enough, even though she disappeared for ten years, the Imperial Master was still the Imperial Master, and she could figure out everything. If they were as ungrateful as Nalan Chenyu, then what was being said now would be their business.

Thinking of this, several princes couldn't help but shudder.

Looking at Nalan Chenyu's appearance, Zhong Nianyao raised a malicious smile at the corner of her mouth, "Don't faint! Otherwise, I will tell you everything you have done. So that the emperor and your brothers will know all the good things you have done."

Suddenly, Nalan Chenyu's face turned even paler.

Nalan Deyi looked at Nalan Chenyu kneeling there, his face full of disappointment, and he shouted directly, "Get out."

A sharp shout made Nalan Chenyu completely despair. After what happened today, even if Nalan Chenlang was gone, his father would never give him another chance.

He couldn't help but start to regret what he had done today. If he hadn't stood up, the things he had done would not have been made public.

At the same time, in his heart, he became even more dissatisfied with Han An.

She was the disciple of the Imperial Master, but now she was abandoned. I don't know if it was because Han An said something offensive when he went to see the Imperial Master yesterday that made the Imperial Master target him so much today.

However, now Han An has lost the support of the Imperial Master. Even though she still has the ability to tell fortunes, she is not the most suitable candidate for Princess Yu.

It seems he must make plans.

After this incident, all the princes planned to leave.

Of course, Nalan Chenyu also stood up, but he still looked distraught.

Just as they were about to leave the imperial study, Zhong Nian Yao suddenly called them.

Suddenly, except for Nalan Chenlang, everyone else felt a little uneasy deep in their hearts.

Nalandeyi looked at Zhong Nianyao, a little puzzled, "Master, this is——"

"It's nothing, actually." Zhong Nianyao shook her head, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly said, "I just have something to ask Prince Yu."

When Nalan Chenyu heard his name being called, his heart skipped a beat and a sense of panic surged up in him.

After hearing this, the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and quickly left the imperial study.

Even if they were not chosen today, they dared not complain anymore. Otherwise, the Imperial Master would really make public all the shameful things they did in private. If they angered their father, it would be unknown whether they could keep the throne, let alone the position of crown prince.

The only one left behind was Nalan Chenyu, whose pale face was now a little gray. His back was already wet with cold sweat. He was still able to stand here safely, relying entirely on his willpower.

"Your Highness Prince Yu, don't be afraid. I just have a few questions for you." Zhong Nianyao smiled, "I hope you can help me solve my doubts."

The smile on Zhong Nianyao's face, in Nalan Chenyu's opinion, was the smile of a devil, but he could only nod his head, "I don't know if the Imperial Master has anything for me to answer. As long as I can answer it, I will definitely tell you everything I know."

"That's good." Zhong Nianyao nodded and said directly, "When Prince Yu asked to marry Han An, was it because he really liked her, or because she was my apprentice?" (End of this chapter)
