Chaghan Timur looked at Chen Jie and said, "Alright, Chen Jiusi, I've said everything I need to say. Now you can leave."
Chen Jie replied, "Prince, may I speak a few words with Yaya alone?"
Ruyang King looked at Chen Jie and said, "Hmm, go ahead."
Ruyang King closed his eyes, saying nothing, with no intention of departing. Chen Jie then looked at Zhao Ya, and Zhao Ya looked back at him.
Their eyes met, and Chen Jie said, "Yaya, wait for me. I will soon come with an eight-carriage palanquin to marry you."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya wiped away her tears and gently nodded.
"Jiusi, I'll wait for you."
Zhao Ya said only a simple "I'll wait for you," without any moving words.
But it revealed everything. The last time Zhao Ya said she would wait for him was when sending him out of Longxing Prefecture—back then, their love was clandestine, and the Ruyang King had sent Shadow Assassins to kill Chen Jie.
Now they could openly express their love in front of the Ruyang King.
