Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1481: Chapter 337: Zhao Ya: 94, Where Are You! (2)

Ruyang King heard and said: ”Yaya, I am quelling a rebellion. This boy has a close relationship with the rebels. As the Prince guarding Jiangnan, how can I easily spare him? Killing him is my duty, without mixing in personal feelings.”

Zhao Ya replied: ”There are so many rebels in the world. Why don’t I see you kill them one by one, but you just have to kill Chen Jiusi, aren’t you targeting him specifically?”

Ruyang King was left speechless by Zhao Ya’s questioning, thought for a moment, and said: ”Alright, assume I’m taking revenge, is there a problem with that? He’s a rebel yet always thinking of the Commandery Princess. Shouldn’t such a bastard be killed?”

”Must I still spare him?”

Zhao Ya heard and looked at Ruyang King and said: ”Father, order the assassin to be called back, you cannot kill Chen Jiusi.”

”On what grounds? He colludes with the Maitreya Sect, his crimes are heinous, he is a wanted criminal by the court, what’s wrong with me sending someone to kill him?”

Ruyang King’s voice was ice-cold. Zhao Ya listened and looked at Ruyang King and said: ”Father, Chen Jiusi has been kind to me. If you insist on killing him, I... I will not get married!”

”Nonsense! Marriage is not child’s play! This is a matter of state!”

Ruyang King harshly scolded in an ice-cold voice. Zhao Ya retorted, unyielding: ”Matters of state, matters of state... Are they more important than your own daughter’s lifelong happiness?”

”Lifelong happiness? Ha ha ha... Yaya, in a royal family, there’s no such thing as lifelong happiness.”

Ruyang King’s voice was ice-cold. Zhao Ya looked coldly at Ruyang King, full of disbelief: ”Father, you?”

Ruyang King couldn’t quite meet the eyes of his dear daughter, remained silent for a long time, then said: ”Yaya, don’t blame Father. Being born into a royal family, sometimes, our fate is not ours to control. Father... cannot help it!”

At this moment, Zhao Ya’s eyes widened, tears as large as beans fell one after another. She knew that the royal family was the most merciless.

But she always believed she was different, she was cherished by everyone, but in the end, as she looked again, it was the same, all the same.

Her father wasn’t as fond of her as she’d imagined. For the sake of interest, she could also be sent away.

Zhao Ya felt very upset, and at that moment she looked at Ruyang King and said; ”Father, Yaya knows the next question may be ridiculous, but Father, Yaya still wants to ask, if Yaya would rather die than marry the Emperor, would you bind me and put me on the bridal carriage?”

Ruyang King fell silent after hearing this, looking at his tearful daughter gazing at him.

He turned his head silently and said in a cold tone: ”Yes!”

Then he walked straight out of the room, paused after two steps, and with his back facing Zhao Ya, said: ”You just prepare well for the wedding. As for Chen Jiusi’s side, I will have the Shadow Assassin called back and give up on assassinating him. From now on, you forget about him!”

After speaking, Ruyang King walked straight out of the room. Just as he stepped out, he saw Wang Baobao standing behind the door, looking somewhat awkward upon seeing Ruyang King.

Ruyang King glanced at him, said nothing, and walked away quickly. The Emperor’s envoy was still waiting!

After Ruyang King left, Wang Baobao stood at the door and saw Zhao Ya suddenly squat down and begin to cry uncontrollably.

Seeing Zhao Ya in such a state, Wang Baobao felt a pang in his heart, wanting to go in and comfort his sister, but not knowing how to console her, he could only helplessly pound his thigh, turn around, and leave.

At this moment, there was only Zhao Ya left in the room, squatting there and crying bitterly. At this moment her world had collapsed.

At this moment, she felt unprecedented helplessness. The Emperor seemed like a mountain pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

At this moment, she felt very sad, but soon the image of a man appeared in her mind. Although this man was not very majestic, his appearance and demeanor lingered in her mind.

Chen Jiusi!

”Prince!”

In the room, Lord Wuxiang saluted Ruyang King, who glanced at Lord Wuxiang and said: ”Inform them to call back the Shadow Assassin and give up on assassinating Chen Jiusi.”

”Ah, Prince, this?”

Lord Wuxiang looked at Ruyang King in confusion, and Ruyang King said: ”Do as I say.”

Lord Wuxiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: ”Understood, Prince, I will handle this immediately.”

Upon saying that, Lord Wuxiang immediately went out to instruct the people of the Dark Department to notify the Shadow Assassin to abandon the mission.

After doing all this, Ruyang King rubbed his brows, his mind filled with the image of Zhao Ya crying uncontrollably. To be honest, Ruyang King had many children, but the only one he truly cared for was Zhao Ya.

His relationship with Zhao Ya was more like that of a father and daughter, rather than ruler and subject.

Being with Zhao Ya always made Ruyang King forget his identity as a Prince, to weigh pros and cons, calculate gains and losses, and his feelings for Zhao Ya were complicated.

It was a father’s affection for his daughter.

Seeing Zhao Ya cry today, Ruyang King felt very heartbroken, but no matter how heartbroken he was, some things still had to be done.

”Yaya, don’t hate Father.”

Ruyang King sighed, his eyes slightly moist.

Just as Ruyang King was deep in thought, he heard Lord Wuxiang outside say: ”Prince, the Angel requests an audience.”

The Angel here does not refer to a winged being from mythology, but an envoy of the court, the Emperor’s messenger, the Angel.

Upon hearing this, Ruyang King said: ”Let him in.”

With these words, Lord Wuxiang opened the door, followed by a man entering. This man had a somewhat scholarly appearance, a heroic spirit between his brows.

”Tuomu greets the Prince.”

The Angel Tuomu directly said, and Ruyang King glanced at Tuomu and said: ”No need for formalities, how has your esteemed teacher been lately?”
