Chapter 685: Chapter 585: Fate Plays Tricks on People
“Han An, do you believe what you are saying yourself?”
Even as Han An tried hard to explain, Nolan Chenyu didn’t believe her words, “If you really had a falling out with the State Preceptor, why would she get you this Imperial Decree?”
“It seems I really underestimated you. I thought you were innocent, but it turns out your scheming is the deepest.”
Listening to Nolan Chenyu’s repeated accusations and deprecations, and thinking about the continual deception from him, Han An felt terrible, “Prince, in your heart, do you truly see as such a person?”
“Han An, what kind of person you are, I really don’t know anymore!” Nolan Chenyu said with a cold laugh, “I used to think I understood you. But now, I am truly unsure.”
“Prince, why are you so angry?”
The fury of being deceived was surging within Han An, “When you initially sought to marry , didn’t you also say that you would forever be loyal and loving towards ? The Imperial Decree issued by the Father Emperor is just to make the Prince keep his original promise.”
At that mont, Nolan Chenyu was rendered speechless, unable to say anything in rebuttal.
He couldn’t say that his initial willingness to marry Han An was also for the sake of the State Preceptor! If such words were spoken, all his unseemly thoughts would be fully exposed under the sun.
“What now, Prince, why aren’t you speaking?” Han An stared intently at Nolan Chenyu, “Prince, are you angry today just because Father Emperor has tied to the position of Princess Consort Yu, and you can’t annul my status and marry another influential Princess Consort? Is that why you are angry?”
At this point, there was nothing she was afraid of retreating from.
Right, she was no longer a disciple of the State Preceptor, she had no support and had lost the livelihood of divination. But, so what?
Now she had her own talisman. As long as she had the Emperor’s Imperial Decree, neither Noble Princess Consort Wan nor Prince Yu could annul her status even if they were unwilling.
His thoughts being pointed out, Nolan Chenyu was sowhat infuriated with embarrassnt, “What nonsensical things are you talking about? Do you think you are still a child? With such heavy thoughts, I really was blind to have taken a fancy to you back then.”
Nolan Chenyu’s words were like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into Han An’s heart.
Struck by a severe blow, Han An’s face turned pale, her whole person seeming sowhat unsteady, “What… what did you say?”
“Now that we’ve torn our faces off, there’s no need for to hide anything anymore.” Nolan Chenyu looked at Han An with a trace of disgust, “If it wasn’t for you being the State Preceptor’s disciple back then, why would I have taken a fancy to you? You were just an orphan, what qualifications did you have to beco my official wife?”
“Heh, really?” Han An, instead of anger, laughed, “It’s just too bad, Prince, now this orphan has beco your official wife, and that too for a lifeti. Isn’t that ironic?”
“You—”
Biting his teeth, Nolan Chenyu dropped a sentence, “Just wait and see!”
After that, he turned and left angrily.
As he turned, a hint of cruelty couldn’t help but flash through his eyes. Sure, the Father Emperor said that Han An was his official wife, that they should grow old together. But, what if Han An never grows old!
Now that things had co to this stage, there was no other way. Given Han An’s status, what right did she have to occupy the position of Princess Consort Yu! If so, then don’t bla him for being ruthless.
As long as Han An was alive, he couldn’t marry another official wife. But, what if Han An died?
After Nolan Chenyu had left, Han An felt as though all her strength had been drained, her legs gave away, and she directly collapsed onto the chair.
Once her emotions stabilized, the more she thought, the more aggrieved she felt, and her tears kept falling.
She’d never imagined she and Nolan Chenyu would end up in such a state.
So, Nolan Chenyu’s past kindness was just to deceive her into his hands. These years of kindness, too, were because she still had value to him.
Today, the reason Nolan Chenyu was so angry was because with this Imperial Decree, he couldn’t annul her status as the official wife.
She really couldn’t guess the thoughts of Zhong Niangyao.
Logically speaking, after she had betrayed Zhong Niangyao, Zhong Niangyao should have hated her to the bone. But now, she had obtained an Imperial Decree for her, preserving her position as Princess Consort.
Why, exactly?
Thinking about this, she couldn’t sit still and imdiately stood up, prepared to enter the palace.
She must go to the palace, to the National Master Hall; she needed to get clarification. She must know what exactly Zhong Niangyao was plotting.
At this mont inside the National Master Hall—
As soon as Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao returned, Zhong Mingxin hurried to greet them, “Nianyao, we—”
“We’re leaving tomorrow.” Zhong Niangyao spoke directly, “If you have anything you need to pack, then hurry up and pack.”
Hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Zhong Mingxin’s face visibly lit up with excitent, “Really? We’re leaving tomorrow.”
“That’s natural.” Zhong Niangyao nodded, “We’ve been out for a while, and if we don’t return now, mom will probably start worrying.”
“I have nothing to pack.” Zhong Mingxin smiled relievedly, “Nothing here is mine. I ca here alone, and I will leave alone. Tomorrow, I’ll just bring my own people.”
“That’s good.” Zhong Niangyao had no objections, “Then let’s leave tomorrow!”
After years of confinent, he was finally free and was about to et his family and loved ones.
Zhong Mingxin was as happy as a child.
After Zhong Mingxin returned to his room, Zhong Niangyao turned to look at Lu Yichen sowhat curiously, “Why do I feel that Zhong Mingxin looks very excited?”
“He is naturally excited,” Lu Yichen spoke calmly, “After being separated from his family and loved ones for ten years, all those years of loneliness are finally coming to an end, and he can see his family again. How could he not be happy?”
Zhong Niangyao raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Which is why I say it’s fate playing tricks!”
Lu Yichen nodded and didn’t continue on that topic and even shifted it, “By the way, why did you obtain such an Imperial Decree for Han An today?”
