Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 32 Cooperation with Baihualou
Hearing Lu Ming's question, Su Wanyun answered without hesitation: "Baihua Tower."

Speaking of Baihua Tower, a cold light flashed in Su Wanyun's eyes.

Su Wanyun already knew about Feng Rui's affairs. After Li Yunfan got the results of the interrogation, he immediately told Su Wanyun that Lu Ming had been poisoned.

Su Wanyun only then understood that Lu Ming's poor health was not due to any illness, but was caused by long-term poisoning.

The force behind all this is Baihualou.

Baihualou is the largest brothel in the capital. The entire Baihua Street where Baihualou is located serves the dignitaries who go to Baihualou for fun. The fact that Baihualou can own an entire street in the capital shows that there is obviously a powerful figure behind it.

As for who is the master behind Baihua Tower, few people know.

Seeing Su Wanyun's expression become very serious, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Then we will cooperate with Baihualou next."

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Su Wanyun was stunned. Cooperate with Baihualou?
Lu Ming should know that Baihualou poisoned him.

Su Wanyun looked at Lu Ming and asked in confusion, "Are you really planning to cooperate with Baihualou?"

Lu Ming said, "Baihualou is the most famous entertainment venue in the capital, and it's also where the most dignitaries gather. If all the courtesans use our Xiaoyao Palace perfume, it will surely become famous in a very short time."

"As for what Baihualou did to me, I will settle this account thoroughly later. I will first squeeze out all the value of Baihualou. Moreover, we need to contact Baihualou to understand why they poisoned me and what their purpose is."

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Su Wanyun was a little surprised. When a man is not swayed by emotions and knows how to use everything he can, even using his enemies, then this man has truly grown up.

If it were someone else, asking him to cooperate with the person who killed him would be more painful than killing him.

Su Wanyun didn't expect that Lu Ming would become so mature all of a sudden after his serious illness.

After coming to her senses, Su Wanyun said, "We should indeed try Baihua Tower. I'll send an invitation to the owner of Baihua Tower right away."

After listening to Lu Ming's words, Su Wanyun also decided to test Baihualou to see why Baihualou wanted to murder Lu Ming and who was the master behind Baihualou.

At this time, Song Yongliang whispered, "Your Majesty, perfume must be very attractive to the courtesans of Baihua Tower. If Baihua Tower knew about the perfume made by Xiaoyao Palace, would they send people to steal or rob our production method?"

Baihua Tower dared to send people to poison the descendant of the immortal King Xiaoyao, so it seems not impossible that they would steal the method of making perfume. This made Song Yongliang a little worried.

As a servant in Xiaoyao Palace who was responsible for managing the industry, Song Yongliang could naturally see the value of the perfume. Once the perfume came out, not only would Baihualou want to grab it, but I'm afraid those aristocratic families would also want to grab it.

Lu Ming said, "They will find out sooner or later. If they want to rob us, they will do it even if we don't cooperate with them."

"On the contrary, I hope they will think about robbing."

This……

Su Wanyun looked at Lu Ming with confusion. She hoped that Baihualou would come to steal the perfume making method. What did she mean?

Lu Ming went on to say, "When they think the perfume is already in their pockets, they will spare no effort to promote the perfume for us." Su Wanyun instantly understood what Lu Ming meant. If Baihualou had the idea of ​​stealing the perfume-making method, they would definitely think about taking over the perfume business. At that time, they would regard the perfume as something they sold themselves, and in this way, they would be more attentive when promoting the perfume.

Lu Ming looked at Song Yongliang and continued, "Song Yongliang, go to Baihua Street and find a shop with a better location. Then..."

Before Lu Ming could finish his words, Li Yunfan hurried to his side and said, "My lord, something happened at the manor."

Seeing Li Yunfan's serious expression, Lu Ming asked, "What happened?"

Li Yunfan handed the mahogany box to Lu Ming. "Today, my subordinates went to the manor to retrieve the sword and found that more than half of the manor's blacksmiths had been killed. According to the guards, several forces appeared at the manor of Prince Xiaoyao's manor last night and slaughtered the servants there. They came to them to inquire about the old Prince Xiaoyao's magic."

"If those last few forces hadn't started fighting, I'm afraid the manor would have been a river of blood last night."

Hearing this, Lu Ming's face instantly darkened. In the past, those forces only sent spies into the Xiaoyao Palace to search for magic, but now they don't even pretend and directly send people to break in.

At this moment, the dragon energy in Lu Ming's body couldn't help but circulate, and a tremendous pressure was released instantly. For a moment, everyone present felt difficulty breathing.

At this moment, Lu Ming was like an emperor, and his aura made people feel fear involuntarily.

This made Li Yunfan feel extremely shocked. The former dandy boy now possessed such powerful power. Although he knew that this was because Lu Ming had dragon energy, Lu Ming had never activated dragon energy in the past.

In his eyes, Lu Ming now seemed like the old King Xiaoyao.

Could this be a dying person?
Sure enough, his previous guess was correct!

King Xiaoyao has been enduring and pretending all this time. It is even possible that he has not been poisoned!
As for why he did this, it goes without saying that he has dragon energy in him, but he has no talent for martial arts, so he can only disguise himself as a playboy in order to protect himself.

The reason why he doesn't pretend anymore is probably because he realized that no matter how much he pretends to be a playboy, there are still people who want to kill him, so it doesn't matter whether he pretends or not.

Li Yunfan felt extremely ashamed when he thought that Lu Ming had to defile himself and pretend to be a playboy in order to protect himself.

As the personal guard of Prince Xiaoyao's palace, he couldn't even bring a sense of security to Prince Xiaoyao. If he was stronger and reached the level of a grandmaster, there would be no need for Prince Xiaoyao to disguise himself as a playboy.

Seeing the current Lu Ming, Su Wanyun was slightly dazed. Lu Ming was indeed different from before.

After noticing that the dragon energy in his body was somewhat out of control, Lu Ming quickly calmed his emotions and retracted the dragon energy. He then said to Li Yunfan, "Tell Deputy Commander Shi to bring more people to watch over the manor, especially the tombs of my father and my two brothers."

Although there is no magic in the manor, the manor is the fief of Xiaoyao Palace. Lu Ming also plans to buy property in the manor in the future. In addition, the tombs of his father and two brothers are all in the manor, so there must be no problems in the manor.

Lu Ming had already predicted what those forces that wanted the magic would do next. Since those forces couldn't find the magic anywhere, their next step would definitely be to dig up graves, his father's grave, and his two brothers' graves.

After hearing Lu Ming's words, Li Yunfan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, if Deputy Commander Shi is transferred to the manor, the safety of Xiaoyao Palace will be difficult to guarantee."

"If someone finds out that the palace's guards are underpowered, it might be harmful to you..." Li Yunfan hesitated to speak. He believed that Lu Ming should know this.
