Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 177 Did the Carefree King take anything out of the tomb?

Su Wanyun tried her best to control her emotions, and then her beautiful eyes looked Xiao Huan up and down.

Xiao Huan was wearing a pink dress with a belt around her waist. She had a curvaceous figure and a pretty face. If she dressed up properly, she would look like a rich young lady.

Xiao Huan had been Lu Ming's personal maid since childhood, eating and using the best things from him, so she was naturally well-behaved.

Seeing that Su Wanyun was staring at her, Xiao Huan blushed slightly. "Miss Su, why are you looking at me like that?"

Su Wanyun snapped out of her daze and then asked, "How long has it been since the King touched you?"

Xiao Huan replied, "Since the King fell ill, he has not allowed his servants to attend to him."

Su Wanyun thought to herself, Xiao Huan isn't ugly, so why hasn't Lu Ming touched her? Is he tired of her?
Thinking of this, Su Wanyun continued, "When you helped the King bathe, did the King have... feelings for you?"

At this point, a blush rose on the beautiful woman's cheeks. This question was indeed quite bold for a well-bred young lady who had never been involved in matters of love between men and women.

Xiao Huan blushed when Su Wanyun asked her question, "Yes...yes."

As Lu Ming's personal maid, Xiao Huan would personally wash his entire body when bathing him. As a normal man, Lu Ming couldn't possibly feel nothing at all.

Hearing Xiao Huan's answer, Su Wanyun thought to herself, "As long as there's a feeling, it shouldn't be that she's tired of it."

Perhaps it's time to dress Xiao Huan up nicely.

Xiao Huan was a maid, so her clothes were more suited to working, and she looked somewhat rustic.

Su Wanyun thought to herself that rather than letting Dongfang Liyue and the Empress exploit Lu Ming every now and then, it would be better for Lu Ming to focus his attention on his personal maid.

As long as Xiao Huan or the other personal maids can satisfy Lu Ming, Lu Ming will naturally lose interest in Dongfang Liyue and the Empress.

Thinking of this, Su Wanyun said to Xiao Huan, "Xiao Huan, from now on, come to my courtyard every morning when you get up."

This……

Xiao Huan was slightly taken aback, wondering what Su Wanyun was planning to do.

She was the personal maid of the Prince of Xiaoyao. Normally, after washing up in the morning, she would wait in the room for the Prince of Xiaoyao to wake up and then help him get dressed and wash up. She was not allowed to go to other places at will.

Su Wanyun noticed that Xiao Huan was hesitant, so she changed her mind and said, "You don't need to come to my courtyard. Let's go to the room I used to stay in. I'll have Xiao Xue and the others help you get dressed up nicely."

Although she had moved a lot of things out of the room she used to live in, the dressing mirror and other items were still there. She decided to give that room to Xiao Huan and the others, and have someone dress them up nicely every day.

With such a beautiful woman by his side, Su Wanyun didn't believe Lu Ming would still have the energy to sleep with other women.

Xiao Huan hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Su, I am a maid, so there's no need for me to dress up so carefully."

Xiao Huan also guessed Su Wanyun's intention, which was nothing more than to have her seduce Prince Xiaoyao and keep Prince Xiaoyao's heart in Prince Xiaoyao's mansion.

However, Xiao Huan was clear about her status. Although she grew up with the Prince of Xiaoyao and used to serve him and satisfy his desires, she would not take advantage of his favor.

Su Wanyun said, "After all, you are the king's maid, so it is only right that you dress up more elegantly. If you are dressed in rags, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the king?"

Just as Xiao Huan was about to say something, a maid entered the courtyard and said, "Miss Su, the people from Yuehua Palace have arrived." Hearing this, Su Wanyun glanced at Lu Ming's room again and then said, "Tell the King immediately when he wakes up that the people from Yuehua Palace have arrived."

After saying that, Su Wanyun turned and left Lu Ming's courtyard.

In a short while, Su Wanyun arrived at the gate of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion. As soon as she reached the gate, Su Wanyun noticed that Chen Qingying and the others seemed to look rather unwell.

Su Wanyun didn't think much of it. She went up to him and said, "Welcome, Palace Master Chen, to the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion. I've already had rooms prepared for you."

Chen Qingying simply said indifferently, "Thank you for your trouble."

Su Wanyun then said with a smile, "Please follow me."

Then Su Wanyun led Chen Qingying and the others to the outer courtyard of the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion, where guests were received.

After arriving at the quiet courtyard that Su Wanyun had specially prepared for Chen Qingying, Lin Yingqiu couldn't help but ask, "Miss Su, I heard from the people in the manor that evil spirits appeared at the tomb of Immortal Lu not long ago?"

Su Wanyun replied, "Yes."

Lin Yingqiu quickly followed up with, "Is it true that the evil spirit was dealt with by the Carefree King?"

After arriving at the Lu family manor yesterday, they immediately opened Lu Xiaoyao's tomb that night, but they did not find the blood lotus on Lu Xiaoyao's body.

The Blood Lotus hadn't withered; they found traces of its roots on Lu Xiaoyao's corpse, indicating that the Blood Lotus had been pulled up.

Early this morning, they immediately inquired at the estate of the Lu family about what happened at the tomb of Lu Xiaoyao. They heard that the evil spirits disappeared after Xiaoyao entered the tomb, and that Xiaoyao was a descendant of an immortal, whose body was naturally able to suppress evil spirits.

As the force that cultivates blood lotuses, how could they not know how the so-called evil energy disappeared? It was obvious that someone had pulled up the blood lotuses, which caused the yin energy to dissipate.

The person who pulled out the blood lotus was very likely someone who entered the tomb. According to their investigation, quite a few people had entered the tomb.

There are guardian spirits, craftsmen, and the carefree king.

However, the Yin energy dissipated after the Prince of Xiaoyao entered the tomb, so it is most likely that the blood lotus was picked by the Prince of Xiaoyao.

This made Chen Qingying somewhat angry. She never expected that the blood lotus they had painstakingly cultivated would fall into the hands of a spoiled brat, and she didn't know what that spoiled brat had done to the blood lotus.

That spoiled brat probably didn't recognize the Blood Lotus, nor did he know its preciousness; he probably destroyed it long ago.

The thought that the Blood Lotus might have been destroyed by Lu Ming made Chen Qingying feel breathless; it was the most crucial thing for her to take that step.

Seeing Lin Yingqiu inquiring about the tomb, Su Wanyun's face showed a look of suspicion. Could it be that the evil spirits were related to the Moonflower Palace?

Despite her doubts, Su Wanyun answered truthfully, "The King is a descendant of an immortal, and his body can purify evil spirits. He went in once, and then the evil spirits dissipated."

This was already common knowledge, so Su Wanyun didn't hide it. If she did, it would only make the people of Yuehua Palace think that she was hiding something, or that the Xiaoyao Prince's Mansion had some secret that she was afraid others would find out.

Lin Yingqiu quickly pressed on, "Did the Carefree King take anything out of the tomb?"
