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

"What do you mean?"

Lu Feng frowned, clearly not understanding why Qin Xinyi suddenly said that.

And why should I give myself a proper warning?

Her pretty face was covered in frost as Qin Xinyi said, "Don't play dumb with me. Do you think I didn't see it before?"

So this guy saw it, but he probably didn't see the demoness reach out her hand, right?

Thinking of this, Lu Feng coughed and said, "So what if I saw it?"

Qin Xinyi never expected this guy to be so shameless. He was already holding Chu Hongyan in his arms, yet he still asked her what was wrong?

She forced herself to calm down and looked at Lu Feng, feigning indifference, saying, "I know you are talented and capable; I underestimated you before. But Lu Feng, if you think you can climb into the Zhenguo King's Mansion with just these skills, you are sorely mistaken!"

"Uncle Chu despises opportunistic people like you the most. I don't care what methods you used to make Sister Hongyan fall so in love with you in such a short time."

"But I'm warning you, you'd better stay far away from Sister Hongyan, or I'll never let you get away with it if you hurt her!"

Even though the woman in front of him was his savior, Lu Feng was speechless. He chuckled and teased, "Miss Xinyi, how things are between Hongyan and me is none of your business, is it? Or are you just jealous?"

"you!"

Qin Xinyi laughed in anger and said with a chuckle, "Why would I be jealous? I just don't want Sister Hongyan to be deceived by you."

"That's good. I thought you were jealous, Miss Xinyi."

Lu Feng raised an eyebrow: "In that case, you don't need to worry about me and Hongyan anymore. How things develop is our own business."

Qin Xinyi clearly hadn't expected that Lu Feng wouldn't listen to her at all, and said coldly, "So, you're determined to pester Sister Hongyan to the death."

Lu Feng chuckled: "Is it not allowed? I think Hongyan and I are a perfect match."

Miss Qin nearly exploded with anger at these words: "You scoundrel, how could you possibly be worthy of Sister Hongyan!"

For some reason, when Lu Feng said that he and Chu Hongyan were a good match, Qin Xinyi felt even more choked up.

"Go ask your confidante yourself."

After Lu Feng finished speaking, he ignored the other party's reaction, laughed and strode away, making the woman behind him stomp her feet in anger, her full breasts trembling.

"Lu Feng, you're shameless to such an extent! I refuse to believe that Sister Hongyan would actually fall for a mediocre person like you! I will definitely not let you succeed!"

Perhaps it was a preconceived notion, but she had a bad impression of Lu Feng from the beginning. Although her opinion changed later, it was put on hold due to some misunderstandings.

It wasn't until Chu Hongyan appeared and showed different feelings for Lu Feng that things changed.

The already bad impression was immediately reinforced.

Lu Feng was unaware of Qin Xinyi's anger, but even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared.

Repaying a debt of gratitude is one thing, but even a benefactor cannot stop Lu Feng from doing what he wants to do.

We arrived at the palace.

As a junior attendant, he did not have the right to enter and leave the palace at will, and could only be informed by others.

About twenty minutes later, Yu Ningyan appeared. When she saw Lu Feng, she pouted and said, "Why are you only arriving now? I finished talking about things a while ago."

Lu Feng was speechless: "I have things to do too, you know?"

"Then I won't hold it against you. Let's go back. I'm hungry and want to eat the stir-fried pork you made on the first day."

Damn it, they really think I'm their lackey.

Cursing under his breath, Lu Feng followed slowly.

Another night passed.

The sky was barely light, but vendors in both the inner and outer cities of the capital had already gotten up early to set up their stalls.

But soon the merchants noticed that there seemed to be something new on the city wall, like notices or something similar.

"That's strange. When was it posted? It wasn't here last night."

A small vendor was looking at the notices posted on the wall when someone next to him exclaimed, "There's more than one! Old Zhou, can you read? Can you read what this stuff says? Is it some kind of imperial edict again?"

"The imperial edict was yellow and made of brocade."

The man called Old Zhou walked up with a smile: "Let me see what this thing is."

But when he saw what was written on it and the huge crimson demon mask mark, he was instantly dumbfounded.

Then he suddenly shouted: "Crimson Flame Order!"

"It's the Crimson Flame Token!"

"The Crimson Flame Order of the Crimson Flame God! This is the Crimson Flame Order issued by the Crimson Flame God!"

He ran and shouted as he went, as if he wanted everyone to hear him.

Many people who heard the words "Crimson Flame Order" gathered at the foot of the city wall. Looking at the notices, whether they were ordinary people or famous scholars, they were all equally excited!

Crimson Flame Order!

It first appeared six years ago, when the first signs of the Three Kingdoms' attack on Qian were beginning to emerge.

That night, the Crimson Flame Order spread throughout the capitals of the four kingdoms, forcing the three kingdoms to withdraw their troops.

The three kingdoms of Western Chu, Southern Jing, and Northern Qi all refused to comply.

Thus, the Northern King of Western Chu and the eighteen generals of Southern Jing all died in a single day from assassinations at Tingfeng Tower.

It was the Crimson Flame Legion that prompted Tingfeng Tower to take action!

The world was shocked that day!

The second instance was two years ago, and it was still about getting the three kingdoms to cease hostilities. This time, the three kingdoms still refused!

Thus, the Crimson Flame Army fought a bloody battle for thousands of miles, forcefully breaking through the allied forces of the three kingdoms!

This led to the failure of the campaign against Qian!

And now the Crimson Flame Token has reappeared!

Countless citizens of the capital were overjoyed. Did this mean that the Crimson Flame War God was not dead and was about to return?

However, when they saw the contents of the Crimson Flame Token, everyone felt nothing but disbelief.

Imperial Palace, Chaohui Hall.

All the civil and military officials, including Ye Bingyun who sat on the dragon throne, were the same.

Each person received a Crimson Flame Token.

Everyone was looking at the content above.

"The beautiful princess of Qian Kingdom is both talented and beautiful. During the Qian Kingdom's time of crisis, she braved hardships and dangers to raise funds and supplies, truly a heroine. In addition, she personally escorted the supplies to the front line. Unfortunately, on the tenth day of the third month of the first year of Zhenglong, she was captured by the Southern Jing Cavalry. At noon that day, our Chiyan Army defeated the Southern Jing Cavalry, and the beautiful princess was rescued. Now, rumors are spreading, slandering the princess for being dishonored by the enemy and losing her chastity. This is all nonsense."

"Today, the Crimson Flame Army issues this decree to set the record straight. Anyone who slanders Princess Hongyan's reputation shall be considered an enemy of the Crimson Flame Army, and we shall fight to the death!"

A full half hour passed before the Minister of Works sighed and said, "This is indeed the Crimson Flame Decree. This seal is exactly the same as the previous two. In the past two years, Princess Hongyan has been slandered too much, to the point that even the Crimson Flame Legion couldn't stand it anymore and issued the Crimson Flame Decree to clear her name!"

"I never expected that the Crimson Flame Legion would issue a Crimson Flame Order for Princess Hongyan!"

"Is this true?" some people questioned.

He was immediately refuted by others: "You're new to the court and don't understand. Who but the Crimson Flame Army could post the Crimson Flame Order throughout the entire capital overnight without anyone noticing?"

"That's right. I heard that the first two Crimson Flame Orders were really terrifying. Not only our Qian Kingdom's capital, but also the capitals of the other three kingdoms were plastered with Crimson Flame Orders!"

Ye Bingyun immediately closed the Crimson Flame Token in her hand: "Summon Princess Hongyan to the palace for an audience!"

In the small courtyard.

Lu Feng leaned back in his recliner, yawning. As Yu Ningyan excitedly read out the contents of the Crimson Flame Token, he stretched and nodded to himself, "The efficiency hasn't dropped; it's still passable."
