Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

In Chen Qingying's view, Xiao Qingyun was most likely able to become a Grandmaster by consuming the Blood Lotus.

Now that another Grandmaster has emerged from the Carefree Prince's Mansion, it's probably related to the Blood Lotus, which must have few petals left.

And now Lin Yingqiu is actually telling her that the Blood Lotus is complete??

If the Blood Lotus is intact, how did Xiao Qingyun and that Grandmaster break through to the Grandmaster level?
The reason she was able to become a Grandmaster was mainly because the Moonflower Palace had a profound foundation and a lot of cultivation resources. However, the Carefree Prince's Mansion had declined since the death of Lu Xiaoyao King. Not to mention cultivation resources, they were also struggling to make ends meet. Where would they get the cultivation resources to train two Grandmasters?

After a long while, Lin Yingqiu finally broke the silence in the courtyard, saying, "I saw it with my own eyes. It is indeed a complete blood lotus, and the snow lotus is in very good condition. It will probably be ripe soon."

Chen Qingying fell into deep thought. How did the Carefree Prince's Mansion cultivate two Grandmasters?

Could it be that Lu Xiaoyao left some miraculous medicines for Lu Ming before he died?

Wasn't there a rumor a while ago that Lu Ming had taken the elixir left behind by Lu Xiaoyao, which is why his body recovered?
Since King Lu Xiaoyao left behind elixirs, he must have left more than just one. There might be other elixirs, but they didn't discover where they were hidden when Lu Xiaoyao died.

Thinking of this, Chen Qingying said, "Perhaps it's because he found the elixir left to him by Lu Xiaoyao, and he used the elixir to help Xiao Qingyun and that person break through to the Grandmaster realm."

Lin Yingqiu said, "That's what I think too."

"Now the Xiaoyao King's Mansion has two Grandmasters, and its strength has greatly increased. I have clashed with the Xiaoyao King many times, but the Xiaoyao King still does not drive us away. I always feel that the Xiaoyao King has some ulterior motive."

"Rumor has it that the Prince of Xiaoyao is extremely lecherous. A few days ago, he even had the owner of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion come to the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion to serve him every day. He didn't get out of bed for several days in a row."

"I'm worried he might make a move on you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingying said indifferently, "If he really has feelings for me, it would actually be a good thing for me."

Now that the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion has two Grandmasters, they cannot force Lu Ming to become emperor through forceful means, so they can only resort to the method she initially thought of.

She would make Lu Ming fall in love with her willingly, and then she would cast a heart-locking spell on him to control him.

Once she controls Lu Ming, she will have control of the Carefree Prince's Mansion, and the two Grandmasters of the Carefree Prince's Mansion will be at her disposal.

Those were two Grandmasters. Before anyone else took that step and became a Celestial, the Grandmasters were the strongest beings in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

With these two grandmasters, it would be much easier for her to push Lu Ming to that position.

Even if Xuan Yingzhen made arrangements in advance and cultivated a good relationship with the Zhou Emperor, what good would it do? With two more Grandmasters, she could easily use forceful means to compel the Zhou Emperor to abdicate. Once the Zhou Emperor abdicated, the fate of the Great Zhou would be hers.

In the end, Xuan Yingzhen got nothing.

Upon hearing Chen Qingying's words, Lin Yingqiu's face showed a worried expression. Chen Qingying was determined to control that demon.

But that demon was not something they could control; in the end, it was they who suffered the consequences.

Lin Yingqiu really wanted to tell Chen Qingying that the demon was a Foundation Establishment Immortal, but for some reason, she just couldn't bring herself to say it.

She bears the curse mark left by that little devil. If she betrays him and reveals his secret, who knows what might happen.

Moreover, with that mark on her, she might not be able to reveal his secret at all.

Chen Qingying seemed to sense Lin Yingqiu's worry, and she immediately said, "Aunt Lin, don't worry. Even if the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion has two Grandmasters, those two Grandmasters may not be a match for me." There are differences between Grandmasters. She is only one step away from becoming a Celestial, and her strength already far surpasses that of ordinary Grandmasters.

Lin Yingqiu knew that nothing she said would make a difference, so she stopped talking and decided to think of other solutions.

At this moment, Chen Qingying asked with concern, "Aunt Lin, how are your injuries?"

Lin Yingqiu walked with a shaky gait, clearly indicating that she was injured.

Lin Yingqiu said, "It's nothing serious, I just need to rest for a while."

"Palace Master, I'm going to take a bath now."

After saying that, Lin Yingqiu walked into her room.

When the maids of the Prince's Mansion brought hot water and filled the bathtub, Lin Yingqiu slowly took off her clothes. She lowered her head slightly, looking at her slightly protruding belly. She gritted her teeth and cursed Lu Ming fiercely in her heart.

She then began to detoxify herself through internal energy cultivation.

The thought that bastard actually wanted her to have his child made Lin Yingqiu even angrier. Didn't this little devil know how to marry a princess? How could he even think of having someone almost ten years older than him have his child?

The key issue is that she is from the Moon Palace and it's impossible for her to marry him. If she really has a child with him in the future, it won't be legitimate, and their child will probably not have a good ending.

Lin Yingqiu quickly dismissed this thought. After cleaning the impurities from her body, she immediately entered the bathtub and began to wash every inch of her body that the demon had sucked on.

……

Late at night, on an official road in Jiangnan, a carriage was speeding along. Not far from the carriage, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard, clearly indicating that someone was chasing the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Ji Wenjie lay pale and weak in the arms of a maid, an arrow still lodged in his chest.

The maid looked panicked, but she didn't forget to comfort Ji Wenjie, "Your Highness, please hold on, we'll be at Tianhai County soon!"

Since arriving in Jiangnan, Ji Wenjie has been working to promote land reform. He knew how much resistance he would encounter in re-measuring the land, but he had no choice. The task had fallen on his shoulders, and if he failed to complete it and returned to the capital in disgrace, he would surely be impeached.

For his own safety, Ji Wenjie had brought many experts with him, but the assassin who attacked him this time was a grandmaster, whom even the first-rank expert beside him could not stop.

He was also hit by an arrow and was on the verge of death. After being hit, Ji Wenjie did not send the carriage back to Jiangnan, but instead had his men take him to Tianhai County as quickly as possible.

The assassins were still following their carriage, seemingly determined to kill him.

Just as the assassins were getting closer, a cavalry unit appeared in the distance.

Upon seeing the cavalry, the carriage driver exclaimed excitedly, "Your Highness, we are saved! It's the army of Tianhai County!"

Upon hearing the guard's words, Ji Wenjie could no longer hold on and fainted.

A few days later, news of the assassination attempt on the Third Prince reached the capital, causing shockwaves throughout the court. (End of Chapter)
