"I am willing to serve Your Majesty!"
Feng Rushi finally made up his mind, held his head high and chest puffed out, his eyes determined.
Li Chengfeng nodded with satisfaction, thinking to himself: He knows the big picture and can weigh the pros and cons. He is indeed a useful talent.
He turned to look at Cheng Ruxue, with a hint of triumph in his voice: "Miss Cheng, did you hear that?"
"Master Feng is devoted to the country and the people. Why would you stop him?"
Cheng Ruxue's face changed slightly. She didn't expect Feng Rushi to actually agree.
She looked at Feng Rushi deeply, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
Her face was pale, and her fingertips dug into Feng Rusi's arm with such force that they almost sank into the flesh.
Feng Rushi frowned slightly in pain, but didn't dare to say anything. He just glanced at her cautiously.

This "Miss Ruxue" from Zuixianlou doesn't seem like an ordinary woman.
Feng Rushi's face flushed red, and he stammered, wanting to explain, but he didn't know where to start.
He remembered Cheng Ruxue's kindness in his heart, but how could he refuse the emperor's favor?
"Miss Cheng, you are too kind."
Li Chengfeng laughed out loud, and finally spoke to help Feng Rusi out of the predicament, "Mr. Feng is a pillar of the country, I will cultivate him well. As for the land of pleasure..."
He deliberately dragged out the last syllable of his words, his eyes lingering on Cheng Ruxue, "There are also beauties in my palace, who are not necessarily inferior to you."
