Empress, please have some self-respect. I am not your husband.

"you!"

Qin Xinyi was furious!

She even had the urge to kick the door open, but she held back, though her disappointment in Lu Feng only increased!

"Why can't you be a real man like the Crimson Flame War God?!"

Qin Xinyi already looked unwell when she arrived, and she looked even worse when she left.

Lu Feng didn't care about all that. He rolled onto the bed, wanting to continue his dream. Even if Qin Xinyi was the old man's granddaughter, she had no right to tell him to do things he didn't want to do.

His sweet dream was disturbed, and after several attempts he couldn't continue, Lu Feng got up somewhat annoyed and, with no other choice, chose to cultivate by circulating his true energy.

There are eleven realms of martial arts, with the first rank being the highest and the ninth rank the lowest. Above the first rank is the Grandmaster.

After that fierce battle, he has now reached the eleventh realm of martial arts, the Grandmaster realm.

Even so, he never slacked off in his cultivation. Perhaps there were even higher realms ahead, and if he broke through, he might be able to save his life without the Jade Dragon Pill.

With this in mind, Lu Feng became even more diligent in his cultivation.

Meanwhile, at the State Guesthouse.

Wei Qingfeng's absence overnight caused some panic among the Western Chu delegation, who quickly sought out Yu Ningyan.

"What did you say? Wei Qingfeng disappeared overnight?" Yu Ningyan asked in surprise.

Although Wei Qingfeng lost to Lu Feng, it doesn't mean that the number one archer of Western Chu is weak.

"Yes, Your Highness, you haven't returned all night."

The subordinates hurriedly responded, not daring to mention that they were the ones who ordered Wei Qingfeng to kill Lu Feng, resulting in Lu Feng's disappearance, because Yu Ningyan's attitude yesterday clearly showed that she valued Lu Feng highly.

"Notify the people at the State Guesthouse and tell them to inform the Ministry of Rites of the Qian State that they must find Wei Qingfeng's whereabouts."

Yu Ning frowned deeply. Wei Qingfeng, her devoted admirer, always wanted to be by her side 24/7 and had never stayed out all night.

Therefore, she also became somewhat worried.

The staff at the state guesthouse immediately understood the gravity of the matter and promptly reported it to officials at the Ministry of Rites.

Upon hearing that Wei Qingfeng had gone missing, the officials of the Qian Kingdom dared not delay and immediately dispatched the military to begin the search.

Wei Qingfeng's body was found within an hour.

"A person is dead? How is that possible!"

Yu Ningyan found it hard to believe. She knew Wei Qingfeng's skills. Not to mention first, second, or third rank, at least no one below the fifth rank would be a match for Wei Qingfeng.

Now that she has been quietly eliminated, how can she let this go?

"Gather everyone and come with me to examine Wei Qingfeng's body!"

We arrived at the Ministry of Justice from the state guesthouse, where Wei Qingfeng's body had already been transported and covered with a white sheet.

Yu Ningyan's face darkened: "What exactly is going on?"

The Minister of Justice was currently in court, and only some junior officials remained in the government offices. They were no match for the anger of the Western Chu Princess and responded immediately without hesitation.

"Your Highness, it was the people of the outer city who discovered this man's body, and it was brought here by the military authorities."

A subordinate lifted the white cloth and saw Wei Qingfeng's unseeing eyes. He was startled and then nodded to Yu Ningyan, "It is indeed Wei Qingfeng."

Yu Ningyan was about to get angry, but then her eyes flickered and her anger intensified: "Fine! Fine! My envoy from Western Chu was actually killed in the capital of Qian Kingdom! Qian Kingdom must give an explanation for this! Guards, bring the body to me! To the palace!"

She's planning to use this as an excuse to make a big deal out of it!

The Imperial Palace Council Hall.

Ye Bingyun has once again donned the mask and resumed his male attire, convening a court assembly as Emperor Qian.

Just as the court officials were discussing what preparations should be made for the competition ten days later, a eunuch who had been waiting outside rushed into the hall: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

"What's all the fuss about?" Ye Bingyun frowned.

The eunuch hurriedly reported, "The palace guards have come to report that the Princess of Western Chu and her delegation brought a corpse into the palace, demanding an explanation from us!"

Everyone was dumbfounded. They were carrying a corpse and demanding an explanation?

"Where are they now?" Ye Bingyun quickly composed herself.

The eunuch replied, "I was stopped by the guards outside the palace gate."

"Order the guards to let them into the palace. I need to know what has happened!"

With Ye Bingyun's permission, Yu Ningyan and her group carried Wei Qingfeng's body to the council hall. However, apart from Yu Ningyan, the other envoys were somewhat uneasy.

They were the ones who instigated Wei Qingfeng to kill Lu Feng, but they ended up being killed instead. They don't know what's going on now, so they can only stick with Yu Ningyan and fight to the end.

"Ningyan greets Your Majesty." Yu Ningyan bowed politely, first with courtesy and then with force.

Ye Bingyun: "Princess, there's no need for such formalities. Just tell me what happened."

Yu Ningyan chuckled, "Lift the white cloth."

His subordinates obeyed his orders and exposed Wei Qingfeng's body, which shocked the civil and military officials of the Qian Kingdom even more.

"This! This is Wei Qingfeng!"

"How did he die?"

"Everything was fine yesterday, wasn't it?"

Ye Bingyun was also secretly alarmed, and she waited for Yu Ningyan to continue.

"Your Majesty, Wei Qingfeng was one of the important envoys of Western Chu to your country this time. However, I never expected that he would die so mysteriously in your capital. If your country does not give Western Chu an explanation for this matter, I'm afraid it will not end well." Yu Ningyan's words were full of ill intent.

The commander of the military garrison in charge of security in the capital was somewhat displeased. Wasn't this a accusation that his work was inadequate?

He said, "Your Highness, it's still unclear how Wei Qingfeng died. Let's have the imperial physician examine him. Maybe it's all a staged act by someone else?"

Yu Ningyan's beautiful eyes narrowed: "Does this lord mean that Wei Qingfeng's death was deliberately caused by our Western Chu?"

The military commander was also a shrewd man, and said calmly, "I didn't say that, but the matter must be investigated to the end, right? Your Majesty, I humbly request that Your Majesty summon the imperial physician to examine the body."

Ye Bingyun nodded: "Then summon the imperial physician to examine the body."

"Fine! I'll see what other tricks your country has up its sleeve!" She was just using this as an excuse to make a scene, and she didn't care if things got out of hand, so she said whatever she could think of.

Soon, more than a dozen imperial physicians arrived. They understood what they were there for and immediately stripped Wei Qingfeng naked. The group of physicians examined the corpse and reached a conclusion in about twenty minutes.

"Your Majesty, this man was killed by a top-tier expert!"

This conclusion surprised Yu Ningyan: "Died at the hands of a top-tier master? How high a master?"

"At least a second-rank official!" a royal physician confidently stated.

"This is impossible!"
