Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

At night, a gentle breeze blew into the room through the window, bringing a touch of coolness to those drenched in sweat.

At that moment, Su Wanyun's voice came from the next room, "Xiaoxue, turn off the light, you should go to sleep too."

Upon hearing Su Wanyun's voice, the two maids at the door of Su Wanyun's room immediately entered the room, and soon the oil lamp in her room went out, plunging the entire room into darkness.

At this moment, Lu Ming whispered in Xiao Qingyun's ear, "Let your two maids come in too."

Xiao Qingyun was stunned for a moment. She didn't want more people to know about her and Lu Ming's affair, but she couldn't keep those two maids guarding the door forever.

Moreover, she and Lu Ming will have many more transactions, and she will need someone to guard the door when she makes transactions with Lu Ming in the future, so it doesn't matter if the maid finds out.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qingyun said to the maids at the door, "Lan'er, you may come in as well."

Upon hearing Xiao Qingyun's words, the two maids at the door immediately pushed open the door and entered the room. However, when the two maids saw what was happening inside, they were both stunned. They never expected that their king would appear here, and that their king would be with Xiao Qingyun...

The two women blushed instantly. Just as they were about to bow to Lu Ming, he made a shushing gesture, and the two maids immediately understood his meaning.

Xiao Qingyun then said, "Turn... turn off the lights..."

Upon hearing Xiao Qingyun's words, the two maids quickly turned off all the lights in the room.

As the oil lamp went out, the room darkened, and at that moment, the moonlight, like water, streamed into the room through the window.

Lu Ming felt it was about time, so he put his arm around Xiao Qingyun and picked her up.

Xiao Qingyun was stunned. She didn't know what Lu Ming was going to do. After all, Lu Ming was at the ninth level of Qi Refining. With his strength, he could hold Xiao Qingyun with one hand, let alone two.

Lu Ming then carried Xiao Qingyun toward the window. Xiao Qingyun instantly understood what Lu Ming meant, but she dared not say anything and could only stare at Lu Ming with her eyes fixed on him.

After the two arrived at the window, Lu Ming immediately covered Xiao Qingyun's mouth and began to circulate the Yin-Yang Scripture.

"Uh-huh!!!"

Soon, Lu Ming controlled the spiritual energy within Xiao Qingyun's body. The high-speed flow of spiritual energy continuously cleansed the meridians throughout Xiao Qingyun's body.

While cultivating the Yin-Yang Scripture, Lu Ming also tried to multitask, and began cultivating the Jade Purity Moon Devouring Technique, absorbing moonlight for cultivation.

Just as Lu Ming had expected, his cultivation level improved much faster under these circumstances. However, due to the Jade Purity Moon Devouring Technique, the spiritual power within Lu Ming's body increased wildly, and that spiritual power then entered Xiao Qingyun's body circulation through the Yin-Yang Scripture. Under the onslaught of a large amount of spiritual power, Xiao Qingyun quickly became unable to withstand it.

……

At this moment.

Under the moonlight, a dark figure appeared in Lu Ming's courtyard.

After the shadowy figure arrived at Lu Ming's room door, he said directly, "Shall we talk?"

However, after the woman's cold voice fell, Lu Ming's voice did not come from inside the room, and Chen Qingying frowned slightly.

Lu Ming fell asleep so quickly?

Even if he was asleep, with the perception of a Foundation Establishment Immortal, he should have woken up after hearing his own voice.

Chen Qingying then carefully pushed open the door to Lu Ming's bedroom. The room was still lit, and the candlelight flickered, but the room was empty.

Chen Qingying then looked toward the side room, where Lu Ming's two personal maids were already asleep.

Chen Qingying was puzzled. Where had the Carefree Prince gone so late at night instead of staying in his room?
The next moment, Chen Qingying's mind went blank, and the image of Prince Xiaoyao and Lin Yingqiu in the study immediately appeared in her mind.

Since he wasn't in the bedroom, he most likely went to the study. Could it be that the Prince of Leisure forced Aunt Lin to go to the study with him again tonight...?

Thinking of this, Chen Qingying clenched her fists and quickly went to the study. However, when she arrived at the courtyard of the study, she found that the entire study was pitch black and there was no movement inside.

Chen Qingying thought to herself that since he was neither in the bedroom nor the study, he had probably left the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion.

She had no choice but to temporarily abandon her idea of ​​talking to Lu Ming.

At this very moment, in Youlan Courtyard, Lu Ming, with a dazed Xiao Qingyun in his arms, walked towards the door.

Xiao Qingyun was not fully aware of what Lu Ming was about to do. After Lu Ming opened the door, he walked outside. It wasn't until he placed Xiao Qingyun on the cold stone table in the courtyard that Xiao Qingyun suddenly came to her senses.

Xiao Qingyun was stunned to find herself lying on the stone table in the courtyard.

That bastard not only came to Youlan Courtyard to assault her, but he also carried her out of the room.

Xiao Qingyun glared fiercely at Lu Ming and whispered, "You...you're insane!!!"

Lu Ming ignored Xiao Qingyun's words and continued to cultivate the Yin-Yang Scripture and the Jade Purity Moon-Swallowing Technique.

Xiao Qingyun gritted her teeth, cursing Lu Ming, that bastard, in her heart.

Tonight is destined to be an eventful night. The news that Ji Wenjie was summoned by the Zhou Emperor after returning to the capital has already been known to many factions.

Imperial Palace, Weiyang Palace.

Wu Wanrong leaned lazily against the phoenix chair, looking exhausted as she flipped through the memorials. She didn't want to move at all today. Every time she was humiliated by that scoundrel, she couldn't muster any energy for a long time afterward.

At this moment, her personal maid reminded her, "Your Highness, it's late."

Wu Wanrong put down the memorial in her hand and prepared to rest on the soft couch. Just then, a personal maid rushed into the room.

"Your Majesty, there are rumors in the palace that after the Third Prince returned to the capital, he went to the Wanshou Hall."

Upon hearing this, Wu Wanrong was slightly taken aback. Go to the Wanshou Palace?

What was Ji Wenjie doing at the Wanshou Hall? Wasn't Emperor Zhou in seclusion for cultivation?

According to the rules of Emperor Zhou, during his period of seclusion and cultivation, no one except the maids and eunuchs who served him could disturb him. So why was Ji Wenjie able to go to the Wanshou Hall to see him?

Just as Wu Wanrong was lost in thought, a fragrant breeze blew in, and Wu Wanrong immediately looked towards the window, where she indeed saw Tang Yi leaning against it.

Wu Wanrong frowned slightly. "Is Elder Tang very free?"

Although Tang Yi's lightness skill was quite good and he was not easily discovered, if you walk on the dark road too often, you will eventually encounter a ghost.

Who knows, Tang Yi might be discovered one day. Besides, the royal family isn't without its experts. Tang Yi goes to the palace all the time. What if she gets noticed?
Tang Yi smiled and then said, "I received a letter from the dean tonight."

"The Dean observed the celestial phenomena at night and noticed that the Imperial Star was appearing and disappearing intermittently, so he thought you were about to succeed."

"I haven't reported your matter to the dean yet, Your Highness. You must hurry."

Wu Wanrong fell silent and did not speak.

The imperial star appears and disappears intermittently?

Just then, the Third Prince returned to the capital and went to the Hall of Longevity. Could it be...?

Has something happened to Emperor Zhou? (End of Chapter)
