Xiuxian: Beautiful Women Like Clouds

The two enjoyed a comfortable night, and the Queen Mother left the next day. After all, they couldn't be together openly at the moment.

At noon, Lu Hao's courtyard suddenly became lively. Many figures came and knocked on the door gently, and then it was pushed open. The first to come in was the queen with a graceful figure, followed by the national teacher.

"There is no room for any mistakes in this competition. I have come here to diagnose you on the emperor's orders!" said the Imperial Master in a solemn voice.

"I understand." Lu Hao nodded lightly without resisting too much. Although he was not seriously injured now, he could not exert his full strength.

"I'm glad to understand!" The Imperial Master clapped his hands. More than a dozen imperial doctors rushed into the room and took turns to examine him in detail. However, they all looked unhappy in the end. After these imperial doctors gathered together to discuss for a while, the oldest imperial doctor stepped forward and spoke.

"His blood is surrounded by a strange black mist, and he really can't exert his peak strength in a short period of time." The old imperial physician sighed and announced the results of the examination.

"Is there any way to recover?" asked the national teacher anxiously.

"He could recover after a month of recuperation, but the problem is that the competition will officially begin in three days, and there is simply no time left!" The imperial physician sighed.

"Oh!" The national teacher rubbed his forehead, feeling helpless.

"How could this happen?" The Queen looked grim. It was a sure win, but she didn't expect such an unexpected situation to happen.

"When the time comes, you can come with us as a substitute!" The imperial teacher shook his head and sighed. The emperor gave him full responsibility for this competition.

Soon the National Master took his men away. There was no need for him to waste his precious time on a substitute monk.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help you in the end!" Lu Hao said to the queen with a little guilt. After all, the cannon was fired, but the task was not successful.

"It's none of your business. If you want to blame someone, blame that hateful woman!" The queen said angrily, and the plump phoenix pattern in front of her undulated violently.

"Be more understanding. The Queen Mother may not be as bad as you think!" Lu Hao sighed lightly.

"What kind of magic potion did she give you that you actually speak for her?" The queen's face was cold and she snorted.

Hearing this, Lu Hao smiled awkwardly. He had indeed been drinking the love potion all night.

As the emperor became terminally ill, various forces in the court were ready to make moves. The conflict between the queen and the queen mother had become public, and the competition had reached a fever pitch.

In a secret room, the queen sat dignified and elegantly on the phoenix couch, with many of her trusted ministers standing below her. Chief among them was the queen's brother Xu Jun, who was not only at the Jindan stage, but also held a high position of power in the court.

"Meng De is probably no longer reliable and may even have rebelled against us." Xu Jun said slowly.

"Although Meng De has no bottom line as a human being, he is very loyal and righteous. I believe he will not betray me." The queen shook her head.

"I have a subordinate who reports that the Queen Mother was screaming hysterically in Meng De's room all night long, 'You are so powerful!' She was exhausted until dawn and left the place with frivolous steps." Xu Jun said in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this, the queen was speechless. These two people were too unscrupulous.

"And even if he didn't betray you, he can't use his full strength now and can't help us." Xu Jun frowned and said.

"I agree with Brother Xu's opinion. Now we are at a critical moment in the fight for the throne. We must select a new person to participate in the competition. We can only adjust Meng De to be a substitute monk." Another old man in gorgeous clothes also spoke.

"We all agree with this decision!" Many ministers spoke up at this time. They had formed an interest group centered on the queen.

"Time is so urgent, who do you think you can choose to replace Lu Hao?" Although the queen was reluctant in her heart, she had no choice but to do so.

Because if he fails in the fight for the throne, he will face the Queen Mother's massacre of all his people, and no one knows how many people will be sacrificed.

Although the Queen Mother did not kill Lu Hao cruelly, she treated other people's lives as worthless and killed them without mercy.

"There is another suitable person in our imperial city. His surname is Lu and his name is Tao. He is a genius in the strongest academy in Tianzhou. His strength is at the great perfection of the Golden Core stage. He recently came back to visit his relatives. We can let him take action on our behalf." Xu Jun said slowly.

"Is that the student from the Martial God Academy?" The Queen showed a look of surprise. She had also heard of this extremely famous genius.

The Martial God Academy is the strongest institution of higher learning in Tianzhou, ranking above the Tianxian Academy. Their selection is extremely strict, and only the geniuses of a country can enter. Moreover, each empire has only five places. You should know that a medium-sized empire has hundreds of millions of people, so you can see how valuable this place is. It is no exaggeration to say that only one is selected from a hundred million.

"There is certainly no problem with Lu Tao's strength, but will he help us?" the Queen said with some concern.

"This Lu Tao has pursued Princess Qingxian before. As long as you promise to marry the princess to him if he completely wins the battle for our side, this will definitely give the other party an opportunity to take action." Xu Jun suggested.

"If Xian'er knew, she would definitely not agree!" The queen sighed softly.

"It's her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. She can't afford to be petty. Besides, this is for her own good. With Lu Tao's strength, he will definitely become a Nascent Soul in the future. Then he will really soar to the sky. Whose potential can compare with his?" Xu Jun couldn't help but persuade.

"Well, this is the only way!" The queen actually agreed to the marriage.

The Queen had her own considerations for making this decision. First of all, Lu Tao had great potential and was a good choice. Also, she was afraid that Lu Hao would become interested in her daughter.

If he were to extend his evil hand to his daughter and make them sleep in the same bed, the consequences would be unimaginable. So it would be better to marry Princess Qingxian off to avoid someone thinking about her day and night.

And based on her understanding of Lu Hao, he was really capable of doing such a dirty thing as a mother and daughter sharing one husband.

So after much consideration, she decided to promise the other party that if they won, she would marry Princess Qingxian to them.

In this way, a few people decided on Princess Qingxian's future husband.

The news came out the next day. Princess Qingxian broke down and cried after hearing the news, and kept begging her mother, but the queen was determined to marry her off, even if it was not to Lu Tao, then to someone else.

"Wow... I might be getting married!" When Princess Qingxian saw Lu Hao, she was like seeing a relative. She ignored the looks of her maids and threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

"What!" Lu Hao was furious and almost jumped up in anger. He was even more anxious than Princess Qingxian.
