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

Is the Emperor a wise Holy Master?

Even a fool would know that the answer is absolutely not, so Chen Jie’s question was very realistic. Ruyang King also knew it was realistic and looked quite helpless.

Chen Jie looked at Ruyang King and said, ”Prince, with Yaya marrying me, do you wish for her to be happy, or to become a widow? It’s not that Jiu Si is disrespecting you, but the fact is, my relationship with His Majesty in the court is irreconcilable. No matter how generous the court’s terms are, I cannot agree.”

”Because even if the Emperor currently thinks this way, in the future when I truly accomplish things for the court, should the seas become calm and the horses rest on the South Mountain, I’m afraid my life wouldn’t last long either.”

”The gratitude of taking one’s wife, and the hatred of killing one’s body, are hard for common people to endure, let alone His Majesty?”

”So, Prince, it’s not that I don’t want to heed your words, but if I do, I might end up with no place for burial. Of course, my life is trivial, and for Yaya’s sake, I can disregard life and death, but Prince, if I die, Yaya will become a widow.”

”Even if you don’t consider me, consider Yaya!”

”You wouldn’t want your daughter to live the rest of her life in loneliness, would you?”

Chen Jie looked at Ruyang King and asked. Hearing this, Ruyang King took a deep breath and said, ”You, you infuriate me!”

Ruyang King was utterly exasperated, yet he couldn’t say anything else. At this time, he looked at Chen Jie with eyes full of anger and helplessness.

What Chen Jie said was correct: whether he lives or dies, Ruyang King doesn’t care, but should anything happen to him, Yaya couldn’t bear it. Moreover, with Yaya’s personality, if Chen Jiusi dies, Yaya will surely never marry again, and then her latter half of life would be completely ruined.

He cannot ruin the lifelong happiness of his own daughter!

Ruyang King thought, gazing at Chen Jie, then at Zhao Ya, and said, ”I won’t interfere with you!”

This already indicated his powerlessness to change anything, but upon seeing Ruyang King like this, Chen Jie’s lips curled up, and Zhao Ya also breathed a sigh of relief.

And Chen Jie looking at Ruyang King, knowing that he was also caught in the middle and feeling terrible, as an in-law, he also needed to save him some face and couldn’t make things too tense with his father-in-law.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie said to Ruyang King, ”Prince, actually, this matter is easily handled. I will agree to the court’s offer of amnesty, after all, it’s difficult for you in this matter too.”

Upon hearing this, Ruyang King looked at Chen Jie and asked, ”What do you mean by this?”

Chen Jie responded, ”I can accept the court’s amnesty, but the court cannot control me. Of course, even if they wanted to, it’s not possible. With Laughing Buddha Peng Yingyu present, the court’s claws find it hard to enter Hubei.”

”What this means is, I can give them the title, but they shouldn’t expect any real power. This way, Prince, your face looks good, and the court can also pass it.”

”This is my sincerity to you, Prince; I don’t know whether you are satisfied with it.”

Chen Jie looked at Ruyang King, expressing clearly that he can nominally depend on the court, but remember, it’s only nominally, to save face for you, Ruyang King, otherwise I wouldn’t do so.

Ruyang King also understood that Chen Jie had already given a lot of face, and if he asked for more, it would be excessive.

Ruyang King is not an idealist thinking that because Chen Jiusi married his daughter and became his son-in-law, he would be at his beck and call.

He had studied Chen Jie and found him to be an absolutely heroic figure. If it weren’t for his and Yaya’s genuine love, coupled with Chen Jie’s previous thousand-mile assault to save the Commandery Princess,

demonstrating his true affection for Yaya, plus Zhao Ya’s unyielding stance of refusing to marry anyone else, Ruyang King would be absolutely against giving Zhao Ya to him.

But now that things are set, he is powerless!

Although the concessions Chen Jie made didn’t completely satisfy Ruyang King, they were barely acceptable, showing at least on the surface his willingness to compromise, which reflected his care for Yaya.

After all, Ruyang King didn’t believe Chen Jiusi was afraid of him; considering Chen Jiusi is now also Melt God First Turn, his strength comparable, and his governing in Huangzhou Prefecture is also noteworthy.

This also showed Ruyang King his capabilities. Chen Jie, at just twenty-one years old, was already Melt God First Turn—what a terrifying entity!

Such talent!

Though Ruyang King could hardly believe it, a demon-like thought emerged in his mind: is it possible that one day Chen Jie truly succeeds and becomes Master Jiu Wu, then his daughter could become Empress!

Of course, this idea is utterly unacceptable to Ruyang King because if Chen Jie truly became that Jiu Wu,

that would mean the collapse of their Borjigit Clan regime, something unacceptable to him.

But Yaya’s happiness is also what Ruyang King desires!

Torn from both sides, what should he do?

Ruyang King truly felt cornered and looked at Chen Jie, saying, ”Things have come to this, there’s no other way, let it be so, but you must not act against the court.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie naturally said, ”Rest assured, Prince, as long as the court doesn’t trouble me, I definitely won’t trouble the court.”

Hearing this, Ruyang King was somewhat satisfied with Chen Jie’s sentiment, saying, ”If so, then let’s go with it.”

When Chen Jie heard this, he looked at Ruyang King and asked, ”Prince, does this mean I can marry Yaya as soon as I return?”

Ruyang King heard this and looked at Chen Jie, his heart very heavy, saying, ”First consult Mr. for a good day.”
