Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 140: What's too easily obtained, men won't cherish.

Seeing that Yuezhi did not continue, Wu Wanrong said coldly, "Go on!"

Yuezhi trembled as she said, "He... he does have some feelings for Qingluan. If... if Your Majesty still wants to use a honey trap to ruin his cultivation, you could send... send Qingluan to... try it out."

Wu Wanrong snorted coldly, "He certainly knows how to pick people."

As soon as Wu Wanrong finished speaking, Li Qingluan, who was behind her, hurriedly knelt down in front of the desk.

Li Qingluan never expected that she would be targeted by the Prince of Xiaoyao, even though she had only been to the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion a few times.

Li Qingluan felt a slight fear in her heart. The Prince of Xiaoyao had already asked the Empress for her. In order to win over the Prince of Xiaoyao, the Empress might send her to the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion.

Although she was raised under Wu Wanrong's tutelage, Wu Wanrong was willing to abandon anyone to achieve her ambitions.

Even Wu Wanrong herself had slept with Prince Xiaoyao, so Li Qingluan had no doubt that Wu Wanrong would send her to Prince Xiaoyao's bed.

Seeing Li Qingluan kneeling on the ground, Wu Wanrong's gaze swept over Li Qingluan before she said to her, "Qingluan, raise your head."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingluan's heart skipped a beat, and then she looked up at Wu Wanrong.

Today, Li Qingluan wore a light pink silk dress that clung to her exquisite and curvaceous body. Her stunningly beautiful face, as fair as frost and snow, was flawless, and a faint blush appeared on her snow-white cheeks.

Her jet-black hair cascaded down to her waist, adorned with a jade hairpin. Though her attire was simple, her natural beauty exuded a cool and aloof aura.

Wu Wanrong then said, "They have indeed grown up, no wonder that guy took a liking to them."

Li Qingluan volunteered, "For Your Majesty's great cause, this servant is willing to serve Prince Xiaoyao."

Since the master already has an idea, there's no way we can wait for the master to speak up.

However, to Li Qingluan's surprise, Wu Wanrong said, "Men won't cherish things that are too easy to obtain."

After the incident with Yuezhi and Yueying, Wu Wanrong believed that she had figured out what kind of person Lu Ming was.

He doesn't want beautiful women when you send them to him; instead, he's thinking about the women around him. Clearly, he's someone who falls for the "playing hard to get" approach.

If I really send Li Qingluan to the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion to serve Lu Ming, that guy will probably get tired of her in just a few days.

Wu Wanrong devised a new plan in her mind. Previously, she wanted to use her beauty to make Lu Ming fall into depravity because she thought Lu Ming was lustful and only pursued physical pleasure.

Looking back now, although Lu Ming was indeed a lecher, he wasn't just any ordinary lecher; he was a lecher who could control his body.

Sending a beauty directly to his bed felt too cheap to Lu Ming, and he wasn't interested.

Her honey trap was clearly misused. A true honey trap shouldn't just be about physical pleasure, but should also make his heart sink into depravity.

Since Lu Ming has taken a liking to Li Qingluan, she deliberately refuses to send Li Qingluan to him. Instead, she wants to continuously raise Li Qingluan's value in Lu Ming's eyes and make him fall in love with her.

As long as Lu Ming falls in love with Li Qingluan and you control Li Qingluan, it's the same as controlling Lu Ming.

Thinking of this, Wu Wanrong said to Li Qingluan, "From today onwards, you no longer need to serve me. I will invite the best teachers in the capital to teach you music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

"I want you to become the most talented woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty within a year."

Upon hearing Wu Wanrong's words, Li Qingluan was slightly taken aback.

She seemed to understand something, but she was also a little confused. She could sense that Wu Wanrong wanted to make her the so-called number one talented woman in the capital in order to seduce Prince Xiaoyao, but this seemed unnecessary.
Lu Ming already has her in mind, why not just send her there directly? Why go through all this trouble?
Although she was puzzled, Li Qingluan did not ask any further questions. She respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Highness, this servant will certainly not disappoint Your Highness's expectations."

Wu Wanrong thought to herself that simply relying on her beauty to attract Lu Ming wouldn't be enough; she'd just be a common, ordinary woman. She needed to make Li Qingluan stand out. Besides martial arts, Li Qingluan had also studied music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since childhood, giving her a solid foundation. If she were given the best teachers in the capital, she believed it wouldn't be long before she became famous throughout the city.

Even if she doesn't become the most talented woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as her teacher's status is high enough, he can still make her the most talented woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Just as Wu Wanrong was thinking about using her beauty to control Lu Mingdu, a maid entered the imperial study with a memorial in her hand.

"Your Majesty, this is a report just delivered by the Zhenling Guard."

Upon hearing that it was a memorial from the Zhenling Guard, Wu Wanrong immediately said, "Bring it here."

She was already aware of the recent incident of evil spirits massacring villages outside the capital. Now that the evil spirit incident at the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion has been quelled, the main task of the Zhenling Guard is to resolve the evil spirit massacre incident.

The matter is currently being suppressed by the Zhenling Guards and her, but such a big thing will inevitably be leaked sooner or later.

At this moment, the Zhenling Guards delivered a memorial, which immediately gave Wu Wanrong a bad feeling.

After the maid handed the memorial to Wu Wanrong, she immediately opened it and glanced at its contents. When she saw that Mu Yongfeng had said in the memorial that the evil spirit that massacred the village might have already entered the capital, Wu Wanrong's face darkened instantly.

That evil spirit has slaughtered so many villages; if it were to go on a killing spree in the capital, it would surely cause widespread panic in the city.

Now that she is overseeing the country, if multiple incidents of evil spirits wiping out entire families occur in the capital, some people with ulterior motives in the court will use this as an excuse to cause her trouble.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Wanrong said to her maid, "Go and summon Envoy Mu Zhenling."

Wu Wanrong planned to personally inquire with Mu Yongfeng about the evil spirit's massacre of the village before devising a solution. In any case, she couldn't allow that evil spirit to continue committing crimes.

The massacre of a village outside the capital could be suppressed, but if that evil spirit were to kill people in the capital, it would likely cause a city-wide uproar within a few days.

at the same time.

Star Observation Tower.

Mu Yongfeng stood in front of the Star Gazing Tower and asked the guard at the entrance, "Is the Supervisor still cultivating?"

The guard said, "Yes, he only went into seclusion today. He said he will be in seclusion for the next three days."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yongfeng's heart skipped a beat.

Three days of seclusion? That's outrageous!

Such a terrifying evil spirit has entered the city; we can't wait three days.

Mu Yongfeng then said, "Go and inform the supervisor immediately, and tell him that I have something extremely urgent to discuss."

The guard said, "The supervisor said that he is currently at a critical stage of his breakthrough and will not see anyone."

This……

Mu Yongfeng wore a bitter expression; this was troublesome.

If we're talking about who in the Star Gazing Tower is best at tracking evil spirits, it has to be the Supervisor. He climbed his way up from the Spirit Suppression Guard to the position of Supervisor.

Moreover, he learned a lot from the old carefree king, and in the eyes of the Zhenling Guard, he was considered a half-immortal.
