Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 2 If you want dragon energy, you have to pay a price.

Hearing Wu Wanrong's voice, Lu Ming came back to his senses. He said to the maid at the door, "Xiao Huan, help me up."

Hearing Lu Ming's words, the maid at the door hurried to the bedside and helped Lu Ming sit up slowly.

At this time, Wu Wanrong continued, "Prince Xiaoyao is not feeling well, so he should lie down."

Lu Ming forced a smile on his pale face. "How can this be? The Queen is a guest. How can I lie on the bed while meeting a guest?"

With the help of the maid, Lu Ming managed to sit up and leaned against the bed.

Lu Ming looked at Wu Wanrong again, then asked, "I wonder if the Queen came to Xiaoyao Palace today for any other business besides visiting me?"

After reading the information about Wu Wanrong in the goddess atlas, Lu Ming has been thinking about how to increase intimate interactions with Wu Wanrong.

The so-called intimate interaction most likely involves physical contact. Wu Wanrong has zero affection for him, so direct close contact is unlikely.

Since Wu Wanrong came for the dragon energy, he could use the dragon energy as a condition to exchange some physical benefits from Wu Wanrong. However, he didn't know whether Wu Wanrong would sacrifice her body for the dragon energy.

Wu Wanrong then asked, "Does Prince Xiaoyao think that I didn't come to visit you, but have other motives?"

Lu Ming smiled faintly and said to the maid in the room, "Xiao Huan, go out, close the door, stay away from the room, and wait at the courtyard gate."

After hearing Lu Ming's words, the maid said respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then the maid left the room, closing the door behind her.

After the door was closed, Lu Ming and Wu Wanrong were the only ones left in the room.

Lu Ming said directly at this time: "The Queen came to see me, it shouldn't just be His Majesty's intention."

Wu Wanrong was a little surprised. She didn't expect that a playboy could see that she had other intentions at a glance.

Wu Wanrong was about to say something when Lu Ming glanced at the stool in the room and said, "It's tiring to stand. You should sit down for a while. We can talk slowly if you have anything to say."

Wu Wanrong said expressionlessly, "No need, I'll be leaving soon."

Lu Ming smiled and asked, "Leaving soon? Does the Queen think that I will give you the dragon energy directly?"

Seeing that Lu Ming actually directly stated the purpose of his trip, Wu Wanrong could no longer remain calm.

Lu Ming is a notorious loser in the capital. Ever since the death of the old King Xiaoyao, Lu Ming has only known how to eat, drink and have fun, and he can't even keep the assets of the palace.

If there were no one helping him to manage the business of Xiaoyao Palace, who knows how poor Xiaoyao Palace would be now.

Wu Wanrong was very puzzled. Logically speaking, Lu Ming could not have guessed that she wanted dragon energy. Not to mention Lu Ming, even Emperor Zhou didn't know, and neither did the ministers.

No one knew her ambition, and she never revealed it.

Wu Wanrong frowned slightly, stared at Lu Ming and said, "It seems you have deceived everyone."

Lu Ming showed a helpless smile on his face, "Even if I deceive everyone, it's useless. I will still die."

Wu Wanrong said directly: "So, your condition is to cure you?"

Since Lu Ming had guessed the purpose of her visit from the beginning, he didn't continue to act and directly asked for the conditions.

Before Lu Ming could answer, Wu Wanrong said directly, "You are poisoned, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Hearing this, Lu Ming said, "Did you know that I was poisoned? It seems this matter is indeed related to the royal family."

Wu Wanrong said, "King Xiaoyao should have known this a long time ago."

"The only thing I can tell you is that this matter has nothing to do with me. After you die, I will avenge you."

Lu Ming smiled and said, "The person is dead. Even if revenge is taken, I won't be able to see it. Let's forget about this condition." "Speaking of revenge, I want revenge now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming's aggressive eyes swept across Wu Wanrong's beautiful face, gradually moving along her cheeks to her delicate collarbone, and then all the way down.

Wu Wanrong's face instantly became even colder, and an invisible pressure suddenly released from her body.

She was not a fool and immediately understood what Lu Ming meant.

Wu Wanrong warned coldly: "You are seeking death!"

Lu Ming acted as if he didn't care. "I was going to die anyway. Maybe I'd die tomorrow, or maybe tonight."

"Death can no longer threaten this king."

Wu Wanrong fell silent at this time. Indeed, to the man in front of her, death seemed to be nothing at all.

Seeing that Wu Wanrong was silent, Lu Ming continued, "Not everyone can master the dragon energy. If you want the dragon energy, you will naturally have to pay a price."

"If you succeed in the end, then this little price won't be worth mentioning to you."

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Wu Wanrong looked at him closely, "What else do you know?"

Lu Ming said, "I know everything about you."

Lu Ming was not shy at all. He had dragon energy, so it was not easy to kill him directly, otherwise those people would not have poisoned him.

Moreover, Wu Wanrong was the queen after all. Although she was fake, she was real in the eyes of others. So many people saw her coming to Xiaoyao Palace. If he died when the queen was there, the royal family would not be able to escape responsibility, and the emperor would inevitably be criticized.

The emperor's life is not easy, and Wu Wanrong's life will not be easy either. When the time comes, someone will definitely use this matter to make a fuss about it to deal with Wu Wanrong, the queen.

With so many women in the harem, Wu Wanrong's identity as the mistress of the harem is not stable. Lu Ming bets that dragon energy is more important than anything else in Wu Wanrong's heart.

As long as he makes the right bet, he will be able to verify whether he can really get the reward through the goddess illustration.

There was some doubt in Wu Wanrong's eyes. She didn't believe that Lu Ming knew everything, but Lu Ming could see the purpose of her coming to Xiaoyao Palace, which also proved that Lu Ming was indeed very smart.

Wu Wanrong didn't dwell on this question any further. She said coldly, "How come you're such a smart person, you didn't even know you were poisoned?"

There was a hint of teasing in Wu Wanrong's cold tone.

Lu Ming said, "Just like horses stumble, people stumble. It's unavoidable."

Lu Ming looked at Wu Wanrong again, and then continued: "I am a dying man. Even if something really happened to us, I will not pose any threat to you."

Wu Wanrong said, "For someone as smart as you, I don't think you're just doing this for the pleasure of sex. Do you want me to get pregnant with your child so he can seize the throne of the Great Zhou?"

Before saying these words to Lu Ming, Wu Wanrong might have thought that Lu Ming was just attracted by her beauty.

But since Lu Ming already knew so much, and his health was almost failing, and he was not even sure whether he could do that at this time, but he was still thinking about what would happen between them, then there was a high probability that he had a deeper purpose.

All Wu Wanrong could think of was that Lu Ming was planning to leave offspring so that his child could seize the throne of the Great Zhou.

After hearing Wu Wanrong's analysis, Lu Ming did not make any excuses. There was no point in making any excuses.

Lu Ming said, "You only have one chance. You just need to say whether you are willing or not."

"My time is running out. After my death, the dragon energy in my body will most likely return to Emperor Zhou. Think carefully about this."

"When the time comes, it won't be so easy for you to obtain dragon energy from Emperor Zhou."
