Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

After Ji Wenjie arrived in Tianhai County, although he appeared to be promoting land reform, he actually sent people to the prominent families in Jiangnan to imply that none of this had anything to do with him and that he was on their side.

Those aristocratic families in Jiangnan weren't fools. They knew that Ji Wenjie didn't want to get involved in this mess, but since it was the imperial court's decision, the Jiangnan families played along with Ji Wenjie's act.

Meanwhile, some powerful families in Jiangnan felt it was time for them to introduce their own representatives in the court. Ji Wenjie didn't have any powerful backing, and if he were to ascend to the throne, the emperor would be easier for these families to control. Thus, Ji Wenjie's trip to Jiangnan not only didn't result in his death, but he also gained more covert support from the powerful families.

Ji Wenjie also understood that his life was still in danger before he returned to the capital, and that assassins sent by his two imperial brothers might already be on their way.

Only by returning to the capital alive could he be qualified to compete with his two elder brothers for the throne.

However, he now has the support of the Jiangnan aristocratic family, who have sent experts to protect him. It won't be so easy for the assassins sent by his two imperial brothers to kill him.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Ji Wenjie's pale and weak face.

……

Meanwhile, at the Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion.

Two hours had passed since Su Wanyun helped Lu Ming detoxify, and even though Su Wanyun was a martial artist, she was about to collapse.

At this moment, Lu Ming had completely lost control. Su Wanyun's voice was melodious and pleasant, and it did not feel pretentious at all.

This heavenly sound constantly stirred Lu Ming's heart.

Lu Ming even began to doubt whether the hallucinogenic pill had really worked, otherwise why would he have become so violent today? He even started to feel sorry for Su Wanyun.

Although he felt sorry for Su Wanyun, he couldn't control his actions.

As the long night passed and the moonlight gradually faded, the crowing of roosters echoed through the Prince Xiaoyao's mansion.

Realizing that dawn was approaching, Su Wanyun suddenly woke up from her daze. She turned her head slightly to look out the window, where there was already a faint light.

Su Wanyun was afraid that her affair would be discovered by the others in the Prince's mansion, so she tried to coax Lu Ming, "Ming... Mingming... be good... let me go, don't worry... I... I will always be your woman..."

Whether it was her soothing words or not, Lu Ming actually calmed down. He closed his eyes and rested his head on Su Wanyun's fair and delicate shoulder.

Seeing that Lu Ming had stopped moving, Su Wanyun took a deep breath and then tried to push Lu Ming away, but found that she had no strength at all.

Su Wanyun quickly said to the maids at the door, "Come in, all of you."

The next moment, Xiaoqin and Xiaoxue entered the room. Upon seeing the scene inside, both maids were momentarily stunned.

Su Wanyun then reminded them, "What happened today must not be...uh... told to anyone, including the King!"

The two immediately replied, "Yes, Miss."

Su Wanyun continued, "Go get some hot water and help the King wash up."

Xiaoqin then helped Su Wanyun turn Lu Ming over, while Xiaoxue fetched hot water to wash Lu Ming's body.

Even with Xiaoqin's help, it took the two of them a lot of effort to push Lu Ming aside. After Lu Ming was pushed away, Su Wanyun's chest heaved as she gasped for breath.

Then she turned to look at the tall and handsome Lu Ming, and her cheeks suddenly became burning hot. She had made a mistake after all.

However, all of this was to save Lu Ming's life, as long as Lu Ming never knew what happened today.

The three women spent a full hour cleaning up the scene. After everything was restored to normal, Su Wanyun returned to her room with the help of Xiaoqin and Xiaoxue.

As soon as the three women left, Lu Ming opened his eyes. Looking at the room, which had been restored to its original state, Lu Ming couldn't help but smile slightly.

As expected of the woman he had his eye on; she didn't need to use any seductive arts to completely captivate him. Thinking of this, Lu Ming yawned, and soon a strong sense of fatigue washed over him. Lu Ming finally chose to close his eyes and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Lu Ming slept straight until noon. When he woke up and was about to get out of bed, he immediately felt aches and pains in his back, as if his body had been completely drained.

At this moment, Xiao Huan had returned from Youlan Courtyard and was serving by the bedside. When she saw Lu Ming get up, Xiao Huan immediately prepared to dress him, but then she found that Lu Ming suddenly lay down again, looking like he was in great discomfort. Xiao Huan quickly asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

As they were talking, Xiao Huan quickly came over to help Lu Ming.

Lu Ming let out a deep breath, "I'm fine."

In the past, whenever he was intimate with someone, they would take a break in the middle. Even when that vixen Dongfang Liyue came to him, they would talk for a while.

However, he didn't rest for a moment yesterday, which led to his current condition.

Fortunately, he possessed the Rejuvenation Technique. Lu Ming then activated the Rejuvenation Technique, and after the green immortal energy circulated through his body, the fatigue and soreness he felt gradually disappeared.

Lu Ming knew very well that he was probably not the one who was suffering the most right now. Even he, a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining, was feeling so unwell this morning. He could only guess how Su Wanyun, whose cultivation level was even lower than his, must be feeling.

Lu Ming then said to Xiao Huan, "Go and call Sister Yun. Tell her I have something to ask her."

Xiao Huan replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Huan turned and left Lu Ming's courtyard, quickly arriving at Youlan Courtyard.

Upon seeing Xiao Huan's arrival, Xiao Xue and Xiao Qin at the door immediately tensed up. Xiao Qin asked, "Xiao...Xiao Huan, is there something you need?"

Xiao Huan said, "The King wants Miss Su to go to him. He has something he wants to ask Miss Su."

Xiaoxue quickly replied, "Miss Su stayed by His Majesty's side all day yesterday and caught a cold. She's feeling unwell and won't be able to get up for a while."

Xiao Huan didn't think much of it and said, "Oh, I see."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Huan turned and left Youlan Courtyard. The two women breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xiao Huan's departing figure.

……

After Xiao Huan returned to Lu Ming's room, she immediately told Lu Ming that Su Wanyun had caught a cold, and Lu Ming smiled.

Did you catch a cold?

Now that Su Wanyun is considered a first-grade martial artist, how could she possibly catch a cold? She really can't even come up with an excuse.

Of course, he didn't really want Su Wanyun to come to him when he asked Xiaohuan to call her; he just wanted to check on Su Wanyun's current physical condition.

Just as he expected, Su Wanyun was unable to get out of bed at this moment.

Lu Ming then had his maid dress him. After he had tidied his appearance, Lu Ming went to Su Wanyun's courtyard in person.

at the same time.

Su Wanyun lay pale on the soft couch, covered with a thin blanket, looking like she had caught a cold.

Just then, the voice of a maid came from the doorway.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" (End of Chapter)
