Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 12 The Benefits of Immortal Cultivation

Lu Ming took Su Wanyun's hand that was supporting his arm, looked into her soft eyes and said, "Sister Yun, my time is running out. I don't want to spend the rest of my life lying in bed. I want to do something for Xiaoyao Palace in my last moments."

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Su Wanyun sighed slightly in her heart. It was just as she thought. Lu Ming planned to create a suitable living environment for his offspring in the remaining time.

only……

Given the current situation of Xiaoyao Palace, even if Lu Ming really left a lot of money to his descendants, he probably wouldn't be able to keep it.

Even when Lu Ming is still alive, the Xiaoyao Palace has become like this. If Lu Ming dies, it is hard to say whether the Xiaoyao Palace can still exist.

Although she knew that the situation of Xiaoyao Palace would become more difficult in the future, Su Wanyun did not say it directly at this time.

It's good that Lu Ming has this intention, and Lu Ming is almost dying, so let him do whatever he wants.

Thinking of this, Su Wanyun said, "Okay, next I will tell you in detail about the situation in Xiaoyao Palace. If you think there is anything that needs improvement, please tell Sister Yun."

Lu Ming caressed Su Wanyun's hand, intentionally or unintentionally, "Then I'll trouble you, Sister Yun."

Su Wanyun's cheeks felt slightly hot, and she quickly pulled her hand back. "It's windy outside, let's talk inside."

Seeing the beauty blushing, Lu Ming smiled slightly and said, "Okay."

Afterwards, Su Wanyun and Lu Ming came to the meeting hall of the palace. Su Wanyun told Lu Ming in detail what had happened in the Xiaoyao Palace in recent years, as well as the situation of various industries.

Lu Ming listened very carefully. The collapse of almost all industries was similar to the situation of Jinhua Pavilion today. First, the products produced by Xiaoyao Palace had various quality problems, and then the people stopped buying their products. Xiaoyao Palace could no longer operate and was forced to close that industry.

It is obvious that someone is deliberately messing with Xiaoyao Palace and destroying its reputation.

It doesn't matter who did these things. The old King Xiaoyao outlived three emperors. When he was in power, he was extremely powerful and offended many people.

When he was alive, no one dared to cause trouble for the Xiaoyao Palace. Once he died, those who he had offended would naturally blame his descendants for everything.

In addition, because of the dragon energy, the royal family has been distancing themselves from the Xiaoyao Palace. Without the protection of the royal family, the enemies of the Xiaoyao Palace will become more unscrupulous.

After explaining the situation at Xiaoyao Palace, Su Wanyun sighed deeply and said self-reproachfully, "It's all Sister Yun's fault. I wasn't able to protect Xiaoyao Palace."

Lu Ming said, "Don't blame Sister Yun. If it weren't for Sister Yun managing the Xiaoyao Palace over the years, the Xiaoyao Palace's manor outside the capital would probably not exist."

"And those people are clearly here to destroy the Xiaoyao Palace. As long as the Xiaoyao Palace continues to exist, they won't give up."

After hearing Lu Ming's words, Su Wanyun didn't know why, but she felt that Lu Ming's temperament was different.

Su Wanyun was about to say something when Song Yongliang's voice suddenly came from outside, "Your Majesty, the servants of the cloth shop have been brought back by Commander Li."

Lu Ming immediately got up from his chair and walked straight to the door. Su Wanyun hurried over and tried to support Lu Ming.

But when she thought of what Lu Ming had said to her today, her hand stopped in mid-air again. After hesitating for a moment, Su Wanyun finally said, "Lu Ming, you're not feeling well. Let me support you."

Lu Ming didn't refuse. He smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Sister Yun."

Su Wanyun blushed as she supported Lu Ming and came to the martial arts training square of Xiaoyao Palace.

At this time, a group of servants from the cloth shop of Xiaoyao Palace were kneeling on the martial arts square, waiting for interrogation.

Seeing Lu Ming being supported by Su Wanyun and coming to the martial arts training square, everyone showed an expression of disbelief. Since when did their king have to take care of such matters?
After Lu Ming came in front of the crowd, he glanced at the servants in the cloth shop. He was about to speak when he suddenly smelled something.

Because of practicing the "Purple Yang Body Refining Art", his five senses have far surpassed those of ordinary people. This smell is the same as the smell emitted from the cloth that was brought back from Jinhua Pavilion before.

At this time, the servants hurriedly cried out, "Your Majesty, this is unfair!" "Your Majesty, the cloth from the cloth shop was fine when it was taken out, it has nothing to do with us."

"Your Majesty, someone must have swapped the cloth from Jinhua Pavilion."

……

Seeing the servants crying out for justice, Su Wanyun immediately shouted, "Shut up!"

Su Wanyun was a little angry at this time. These servants were becoming more and more unruly. They obviously knew that Lu Ming did not have much time left, so they became so presumptuous.

Before Lu Ming even opened his mouth to speak, these people were already shouting and yelling, completely ignoring their master Lu Ming.

Su Wanyun turned her head to look at Lu Ming and was about to say something, but found that Lu Ming had closed his eyes.

Su Wanyun thought Lu Ming was unwell and quickly asked, "Lu Ming, if you're not feeling well, I'll help you go back. Leave the interrogation to me."

Lu Ming didn't say anything. He raised his hand and signaled Su Wanyun not to speak either.

Seeing Lu Ming's serious look, Su Wanyun felt very confused. She was finding it increasingly difficult to understand Lu Ming.

Lu Ming had already released his spiritual sense at this time. He found that his spiritual sense could clearly sense that several servants had residues of the same substance as that on the cloth of Jinhua Pavilion.

And the ones with that powder on their bodies were precisely those servants who were shouting and yelling without any rules.

Lu Ming opened his eyes at this time, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he glanced at those people.

He said to the palace guards behind him: "Arrest these people that I pointed out."

Lu Ming then raised his finger and pointed at the servants in the crowd.

When those servants were pointed out by Lu Ming, panic immediately appeared on their faces. They never thought that they would be pointed out directly by that useless King Xiaoyao.

"Your Majesty, this is unjust!"

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to the palace and will never do anything that would harm it."

"Kings……"

……

After hearing Lu Ming's words, the guards of the palace took those people under control without any hesitation.

But after arresting those people, everyone looked at Lu Ming with confusion.

At this time, Li Yunfan, the commander of the palace's guards, bowed and said to Lu Ming, "Your Majesty, I know these people. They have all been in Xiaoyao Palace for many years. They were transferred to the cloth shop last month because of staff shortages. The cloth shop incident should have nothing to do with them, right?"

At this moment, Li Yunfan just thought that Lu Ming was arresting people indiscriminately. Lu Ming had been lying in bed for two months and had never asked about the affairs of the palace before. Today, as soon as he was able to walk, he started to act recklessly. This made Li Yunfan wonder if Lu Ming's brain was confused due to illness.

Li Yunfan never had a good impression of Lu Ming. If it weren't for the favor that the old King Xiaoyao had done him in the past, he would have left the King Xiaoyao's Mansion long ago.

As a second-rank warrior, no matter which force he goes to, there will be people who want him, and the treatment he receives will definitely be better than in Xiaoyao Palace.

Since the death of the old King Xiaoyao, many people have come to him with sincerity, but he rejected them all.

Although he is loyal to the Xiaoyao Palace, it does not mean that he is also loyal to Lu Ming. In his eyes, Lu Ming is an unlearned waste and a stain on the life of the old Xiaoyao King.
