Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 142 What kind of benefits can the Empress offer?
After Mu Yongfeng left the Imperial Study, Wu Wanrong was somewhat agitated.

She had only been in charge of the country for a short time when such a big thing happened, and the key point was that she had to ask Lu Ming, that lecherous man, for help.

This made her realize that she would probably still need Lu Ming as an ally in the short term, so she needed to control Lu Ming even more.

Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Wu Wanrong's eyes. She turned to Li Qingluan and said, "Go and get dressed. You will come with me to the Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion later."

Although she doesn't plan to give Li Qingluan directly to Lu Ming for the time being, she can't let Li Qingluan completely disappear from Lu Ming's sight. If she doesn't appear at all, Lu Ming will probably forget about Li Qingluan before long.

The goal is to let Lu Ming see the food but not be able to eat it, thus keeping him in suspense.

at dusk.

As the sun began to set, a luxurious carriage appeared at the gate of the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion.

Because it involved serious business, Wu Wanrong came to the Prince Xiaoyao's residence openly and honestly.

Lu Ming is currently cultivating. After breaking through with Xiao Qingyun in the morning, his aura is somewhat unstable, and he is stabilizing his cultivation.

Just then, the personal maid's voice rang out at the door, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress has arrived."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming opened his eyes.

He had just exposed her plot, and she actually came on her own initiative. Could it be that she planned to kill those two maids to give him an explanation?
Lu Ming said calmly, "Come in."

The next moment, the door opened, and Wu Wanrong, dressed in a red phoenix robe, appeared in the doorway. Next to Wu Wanrong was Li Qingluan, dressed in a green gauze dress.

Although Li Qingluan wore no makeup and only had a simple headband, she exuded a mature and aloof aura.

Just when Lu Ming thought Wu Wanrong was planning to give Li Qingluan to him, Wu Wanrong said to Li Qingluan, "You go out and keep watch first. I have important matters to discuss with Prince Xiaoyao."

Li Qingluan said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing Li Qingluan turn and leave, Lu Ming was stunned for a moment. Naturally, Lu Ming's change in expression did not escape Wu Wanrong's eyes.

She sneered inwardly. This bastard really fell for this act. It seemed she really couldn't let Lu Ming get Li Qingluan so easily.

After Li Qingluan left the room, only Lu Ming and Wu Wanrong remained. Lu Ming's gaze immediately fell on Wu Wanrong.

To be honest, Lu Ming thought Wu Wanrong was prettier than her looks, especially her dignified and aloof temperament, which aroused his desire to conquer her.

However, Li Qingluan was also a beauty in the illustrations, so he naturally wanted her too.

Wu Wanrong wore a phoenix crown, its golden luster inlaid with many rubies. The crown extended with many red pearl and jade tassels, which draped over Wu Wanrong's head, making her look even more dignified and noble.

The phoenix crown is beautiful, but it can be a bit troublesome when doing things.

Lu Ming asked with a smile, "I wonder what brings Your Majesty the Empress to see me today?"

Lu Ming had been locked up by Xiao Qingyun all morning, and he wasn't in much interest right now. Of course, since Wu Wanrong was here, he would definitely have to work on the activation progress.

After all, Wu Wanrong was the empress, and it was rare for her to leave the palace.

Wu Wanrong was slightly surprised that Lu Ming did not rush up to her as soon as they met. She said indifferently, "I have come here today to ask you to do something for me."

Hearing this, Lu Ming asked curiously, "What is it?"

Lu Ming thought Wu Wanrong was apologizing because of the Yuezhi and Yueying sisters, but judging from her expression, it didn't seem to be about that. Wu Wanrong said, "In the past month, there have been several incidents of evil spirits massacring villages outside the capital. Another one happened a few days ago. After the Zhenling Guard investigated, they found that the evil spirit had entered the capital."

"If we continue to let that evil spirit go unchecked, it will kill countless people."

“The Prince of Xiaoyao is an immortal, and I believe he should have a way to deal with evil spirits.”

"I hope you can find that evil spirit and destroy it."

Lu Ming smiled faintly, "Shouldn't the task of exorcising evil spirits be left to the Spirit Suppression Guard? What do you want with me?"

"Even if the Zhenling Guard can't deal with that evil spirit, the Supervisor of the Star Gazing Tower should be able to handle it without any problems. And if all else fails, there's still the Imperial Preceptor, isn't there?"

Wu Wanrong said, "The supervisor of the Star Gazing Tower is currently in seclusion, and the Imperial Preceptor is also in seclusion after returning from performing a ritual at the Prince of Xiaoyao's residence."

Lu Ming was speechless. Were these guys cultivators? If they weren't, why were they in seclusion?

Lu Ming then said, "Even without the Director of the Star Gazing Tower and the Imperial Preceptor, with the power of the Spirit Suppressing Guard, couldn't they have dealt with a single evil spirit?"

Wu Wanrong said, "This evil spirit is too ferocious and must be dealt with as soon as possible. Five massacres have already occurred outside the capital, but the Zhenling Guard has still not found any clues. I do not believe they have the ability to deal with this evil spirit."

"Even if they can deal with this evil spirit, by the time they find it, who knows when it will be gone? By then, the capital will probably be in an uproar over the evil spirit."

Wu Wanrong could tell that Lu Ming didn't want to get involved in this matter, so she continued, "You are my ally, surely you wouldn't refuse to help with such a small favor?"

As she spoke, Wu Wanrong slowly walked towards Lu Ming's bedside.

Lu Ming asked, "This is no small favor."

"That evil spirit has committed so many massacres of villages. It is probably not just cruel, but its strength is also extraordinary."

"The Empress wants my help. I wonder what kind of benefits the Empress can offer?"

At this point, Lu Ming's burning gaze was fixed on Wu Wanrong's beautiful face.

Seeing Lu Ming's aggressive gaze, Wu Wanrong thought to herself, just as she had expected. As long as she came, this guy would not miss any opportunity to meet her. He definitely wanted her to get pregnant with his child.

Wu Wanrong sat down directly by the bed and said, "I will stay for no more than an hour."

She came to the Prince of Xiaoyao's mansion openly and honestly; if she stayed too long, it would easily arouse suspicion.

Lu Ming was taken aback. Was that what he meant?
Although he will definitely do things with Wu Wanrong today, the benefits he wants are not just that. Yuezhi should have told Wu Wanrong what he said, so Wu Wanrong should know now that she wants Li Qingluan.

Just as Lu Ming was about to say when, a unique fragrance emanating from a mature woman wafted into his nostrils, instantly arousing him.

Before they came into contact, things were fine, but once they did, Lu Ming discovered that he now had absolutely no resistance to Wu Wanrong's body.

Never mind, we can talk about it later. Let's take care of business first.

Lu Ming then grabbed Wu Wanrong's arm, pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her red lips.

At this moment, Wu Wanrong's body temperature continued to rise, becoming extremely hot. Although she had long been used to being touched by Lu Ming, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly when she thought of what had happened in the previous incidents.
