Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 15: In order to get rid of King Xiaoyao, the Lord made such a great sacrifice

In the dark secret room, the candlelight cast a woman's enchanting figure on the wall.

The woman sat on a table with one of her slender legs placed on it. She was wearing a red chiffon dress. In the dim candlelight, her curvy figure was perfectly displayed.

The candlelight passed through the red veil, making her delicate body look a little more hazy. If there was a man here, he would definitely want to explore the dark shadow under the veil.

After the woman finished speaking, the old woman who had entered the secret room said, "The Third Prince deliberately approached the Xiaoyao Palace today, making the Lord feel uneasy."

Hearing this, Dongfang Liyue smiled and said, "It's not easy to attack King Xiaoyao directly. The two second-rank soldiers in King Xiaoyao's mansion are nothing. The important thing is that King Xiaoyao is protected by dragon energy. I'm afraid we can't kill him directly."

As long as they are within the capital, once Lu Ming's life is directly threatened, the dragon energy in Lu Ming's body will automatically protect him, and it will be difficult for assassins to hurt Lu Ming.

Even a master at the grandmaster level would find it difficult to break through the dragon energy that protects the body.

After the death of the old King Xiaoyao, the Xiaoyao Palace had faced countless waves of assassins. These assassins ultimately failed to kill Lu Ming directly, which instead frightened Lu Ming so much that he had been hiding in the capital and didn't even go to the manor of the Xiaoyao Palace outside the capital.

Later, Baihualou could only use two herbs, the Death Grass and the Netherworld Flower, to deal with Lu Ming.

After hearing Dongfang Liyue's words, the old woman took out a small yellow porcelain bottle.

Seeing the bottle, Dongfang Liyue asked, "What is this?"

The old woman replied, "The Lord's blood."

Dongfang Liyue was slightly stunned, and a hint of disbelief appeared in her beautiful eyes.

After coming back to her senses, Dongfang Liyue smiled, "In order to get rid of King Xiaoyao, the Lord actually made such a great sacrifice."

After she finished speaking, Dongfang Liyue stood up from the table, stretched her enchanting and fiery body, and then asked, "When will we make our move?"

The old woman said, "The sooner the better."

Dongfang Liyue smiled and said, "Actually, there's no need to rush. Since the Third Prince is interested in approaching Xiaoyao Palace, why not use this opportunity to link the assassination to the Third Prince?"

The old woman instantly understood Dongfang Liyue's intention and said, "I will tell the Lord what the Saintess meant."

As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman turned and left the underground chamber. Watching her hunched figure leave, Dongfang Liyue raised her delicate hand to her lips, licked her fingertips with her soft and flexible tongue, and then murmured, "What a pity, what a pity."

"The descendants of immortals should have been excellent furnaces and tripods."

Dongfang Liyue originally planned to find an opportunity to get close to Lu Ming and turn Lu Ming into her own cauldron, but unfortunately, after Lu Ming came to Baihua Tower a few times, he never came again and had been hiding in Xiaoyao Palace.

She went to Jiangnan a few days ago, and when she came back she heard that Lu Ming's health was failing and he had less than two months left to live. This made her feel very sorry.

If Lu Ming was poisoned by the Death Grass and the Netherworld Flower, there would be no salvation even if a god came. If Lu Ming was a warrior of the second rank or above, there might be a certain chance that he could suppress the poison in his body.

It’s a pity that Lu Ming is just an ordinary person, and his final fate is to die from poisoning.

……

Xiaoyao Wangfu.

Li Yunfan called all the servants of the palace to the martial arts training ground, and publicly tried those servants who betrayed Xiaoyao Palace. In the end, he had those servants beaten to death.

In this era, servants who betray their masters are basically doomed to die. Li Yunfan's actions did intimidate the servants of Xiaoyao Palace to a certain extent, as well as the spies hiding in Xiaoyao Palace.

After dealing with the servants who betrayed Xiaoyao Palace, Li Yunfan took the initiative to come to Lu Ming's bedroom door to report.

Lu Ming was able to easily point out the traitor who betrayed Xiaoyao Palace, which really impressed Li Yunfan. Although he didn't know how Lu Ming did it, Lu Ming did it.

Lu Ming was sitting cross-legged on the bed, practicing. His spiritual awareness had already covered the courtyard outside. He had already sensed Li Yunfan entering the courtyard. Before Li Yunfan could speak, Lu Ming's voice came from inside the room, "Is it done?"

Hearing Lu Ming's indifferent voice, Li Yunfan was stunned for a moment. For some reason, he seemed to vaguely hear the voice of the old King Xiaoyao.

Li Yunfan quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, everything has been handled. We have also caught two spies who had infiltrated the cloth shop a few days ago."

Lu Ming then asked, "What did you find out?"

At this time, Lu Ming's voice was very low and cold, which made Li Yunfan doubt whether it was Lu Ming in the room. However, judging from the voice, it was indeed Lu Ming's voice, but the tone of his speech had changed a lot.

Li Yunfan replied, "Those two spies committed suicide by taking poison. We found two Blood Cloud Tower tokens on them."

Hearing this, Lu Ming frowned.

Blood Cloud Tower, the number one killer organization in the Great Zhou Dynasty?
Rumor has it that as long as they are paid enough, there is no one they cannot kill.

Why didn't the assassin from the Blood Cloud Tower come and kill him directly, but played this little trick?

It is an assassination organization after all. Since when did the assassination organization start to engage in such petty conspiracies?
Lu Ming thought about it, but he really couldn't figure out the purpose of Blood Cloud Tower doing this. If it was another force, such as a family in the cloth business, sending some spies to the cloth shop to cause trouble, then he could still understand it.

But Xueyunlou is a killer organization. Who would hire a killer from Xueyunlou to do such a thing for no reason? It's like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Lu Ming didn't think any more about it. He said, "If you don't have anything else to do, go and do your thing."

Li Yunfan did not leave immediately. He hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Your Majesty, your subordinate..."

Having said that, Li Yunfan paused again, but soon spoke again.

"I want to know how the king knew they were traitors."

Lu Ming didn't try to be mysterious. He answered directly, "The smell."

Li Yunfan was stunned. Smell?

It's that simple?
He was about to ask more when he heard Lu Ming's cold voice, "I am tired."

Li Yunfan had no choice but to give up, "Sorry to bother you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."

After Li Yunfan turned and left, he kept thinking about the word "smell" that Lu Ming had said. Even he, a second-grade warrior, couldn't figure out anything. How could King Xiaoyao, a dying man, identify the traitor of the Xiaoyao Palace by the smell?
real or fake?

Today he heard from people in the palace that the queen had sent two pills, and it was likely that Prince Xiaoyao had taken one of them.

What kind of elixir did the queen give that not only allowed King Xiaoyao to walk, but also gave him such a keen sense of smell?
After thinking about it for a while, Li Yunfan finally put the matter behind him. Although Lu Ming's performance today was indeed unexpected, the prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain, and the mountain cannot be moved in a short time. He did not think that Lu Ming suddenly became enlightened when he was dying after suffering a serious illness.

……

In the dead of night.

Imperial Palace, Weiyang Palace.

In the mist-shrouded side hall of the Weiyang Palace, there is a huge bathing pool. At this moment, the bathing pool is steaming, with countless red petals floating on the water, and the whole bathing pool is filled with fragrance.

And in the bathtub, a fair and graceful body was closing its eyes and circulating its true energy.

After Wu Wanrong returned from Wanshou Hall, she immediately went to the bathhouse. There was hot water in the queen's bedroom twelve hours a day.

After entering the bathtub, she circulated the internal energy in her body to expel the dirt that Lu Ming had sent into her body.
