Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 98 Since Sister Xiao has made up her mind, I will not try to persuade her to stay

After hearing Xiao Qingyun's question, Lu Ming said, "That's not a way to judge people."

Xiao Qingyun was slightly stunned. Isn't this a way to judge people?
Lu Ming continued, "That's the telepathic technique."

Xiao Qingyun then asked, "I see that you can accurately identify the undercover lurking in the Lu Mansion. Your telepathic skill should be the same as your father's ability to identify people?"

Lu Ming said, "I haven't learned my father's technique of identifying people, so I don't know what it's like. My telepathic technique mainly helps me sense a person's emotions."

"For example, I can sense who has ill intentions towards me or who has murderous intent. I can also sense who has feelings for whom."

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Xiao Qingyun's heart trembled slightly.

Just as Xiao Qingyun was about to say something, Lu Ming spoke again, "Sister Xiao, didn't you say you had something to tell me?"

Xiao Qingyun hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Now that you have the help of the immortals, and you've learned the art of identifying people and can distinguish between good and bad people, your sister Yun and I are no longer of any help to you. After a while, your sister Yun and I plan to leave Xiaoyao Palace."

"There have been more and more rumors in the capital these days. If we continue to stay in Xiaoyao Palace, it will ruin the reputation of Xiaoyao Palace."

Hearing this, Lu Ming laughed inwardly, and then he said, "Sister Xiao, the Xiaoyao Palace will add a lot of industries in the future, and it is a time when we need manpower."

"Besides, you and Sister Yun watched me grow up, just like my family. Are you really so cruel as to abandon me and the entire Xiaoyao Palace?"

Xiao Qingyun frowned slightly. Although she had indeed watched Lu Ming grow up, it was impossible for her to say that she had no feelings for him at all.

But compared to Lu Ming, her feelings for Su Wanyun are deeper.

Xiao Qingyun said, "Lu Ming, your sister Yun and I are almost thirty years old. We are already of marriageable age. Both the Xiao family behind me and the Su family behind your sister Yun have found husbands for us."

"Maybe soon, we will get married."

"All good things must come to an end. With your status as an immortal, even without me and your sister Yun, you can still revive the Xiaoyao Palace."

The main reason why she took the initiative to tell Lu Ming about this was because of Su Wanyun. If it was just her, she could leave Xiaoyao Palace whenever she wanted.

But Su Wanyun is different. Su Wanyun has a soft personality, and she can clearly feel Su Wanyun's concern for Lu Ming. If Lu Ming doesn't want Su Wanyun to leave, Su Wanyun may soften her heart and stay on her own initiative.

Only if Lu Ming is persuaded, will Su Wanyun be able to follow her and leave Xiaoyao Palace without worry.

Lu Ming knew that he could not persuade Xiao Qingyun to stay. What Xiao Qingyun wanted was to retire from the world with Su Wanyun, and she did not have much feelings for him.

Playing the emotional card is useless with Xiao Qingyun.

But then again, as long as Su Wanyun was kept, Xiao Qingyun would naturally be kept as well. It didn't matter what Xiao Qingyun's attitude towards him was.

Then Lu Ming said, "Since Sister Xiao has made up her mind, I won't try to persuade her to stay."

Hearing this, Xiao Qingyun was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Lu Ming to agree so easily. She originally thought that she would have to put in some effort before Lu Ming would agree.

At this moment, a maid came to Lu Ming and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen has sent someone."

Lu Ming was a little curious about why the Queen sent someone to see him at this time. He said directly, "Bring someone in."

"Yes."

Soon, the maid brought a servant girl wearing inner armor to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming asked directly, "What does the Queen want from me?"

The queen's maid took out a letter and said, "The queen asked me to give this letter to the king." Hearing this, Lu Ming immediately asked someone to bring the letter to him. He then opened the letter and glanced at the contents.

Seeing the contents of the letter, Lu Ming just smiled.

It is indeed not so easy to bring down a noble family. Even after committing such a serious crime, he was only removed from his official position.

The content of the letter mainly recounted what happened at today's court meeting. At the same time, Wu Wanrong reminded him to be careful of the Zhang family's revenge.

At today's court meeting, Zheng Hongyun took the lead in impeaching Zhang Hanwen, catching Zhang Hanwen off guard.

Zhang Hanwen originally wanted to quibble, but the Ministry of Justice immediately produced the confessions of the killers of Xueyun Tower, and the Northern Pacification Office also placed the evidence collected during this period of time regarding the collusion between the Zhang family and Xueyun Tower in the court.

In addition, the four Tianshu simultaneously demanded that the Zhang family be severely punished. Seeing that the Zhang family was doomed, their property was about to be confiscated and the clan was about to be exterminated.

Zhang Hanwen suddenly took out the golden medal of immunity from death bestowed by the late emperor. As long as there was no substantial evidence to prove that the Zhang family was plotting a rebellion, with the golden medal, the Zhang family could be spared from death five times.

After seeing the contents of the letter, Lu Ming was speechless.

He had only heard before that the Golden Medal of Immunity from Death could only save one person from death at most, and that the right to interpret the Golden Medal of Immunity from Death belonged to the emperor. In most dynasties, the Golden Medal of Immunity from Death was useless.

The Great Zhou's golden medal of immunity from death can actually save people from death five times. It's simply outrageous. How great a contribution did the ancestors of the Zhang family make?

But no matter what, Zhang Hanwen could no longer keep his position as Tianshu, and the other four Tianshu took this opportunity to drive all the officials of the Zhang family out of the court, and those officials who had dealings with the Zhang family were also implicated.

After this incident, the Zhang family was severely damaged, and it was almost impossible for the Zhang family to return to the court.

Even if Emperor Zhou ends his retreat and wants to allow the Zhang family to enter the court again, the other four Tianshu will certainly oppose it, and most of the officials in the court will also oppose it.

This time, Zheng Hongyun and the other four Tianshu, as well as the officials of the faction they represented, all stood together and wanted to kill the Zhang family. The feud has already been formed. If the Zhang family is allowed to return to the court again, the Zhang family will definitely retaliate.

Lu Ming looked at the maid sent by the Queen and said, "Is there anything else? If not, you can go back and report."

The maid said, "Yes."

Then Wu Wanrong's maid turned and left.

After the maid left, Xiao Qingyun asked, "Why did the Queen write to you?"

The Queen and Lu Ming have nothing to do with each other. Xiao Qingyun really can't understand why the Queen would write to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming directly handed the letter in his hand to Xiao Qingyun.

Xiao Qingyun took the letter from Lu Ming's hand with a suspicious look and glanced at it.

After seeing the contents of the letter, Xiao Qingyun was slightly stunned.

The letter contains what happened in the court today.

In terms of content, there was nothing special, but what Xiao Qingyun couldn't understand was why the Queen told Lu Ming what happened in the court today?

As the mother of a country who is currently regulating the country, she has to write a letter to report the affairs of the court to Lu Ming...

Xiao Qingyun quickly thought of a possibility. One was the queen, and the other was the descendant of an immortal who had already embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. It was obvious what they would do if they colluded with each other.

She tried hard to suppress her curiosity and didn't ask any more questions. She would take Su Wanyun away from Xiaoyao Palace in a while. What Lu Ming was doing and what he would do in the future had nothing to do with her. She didn't want Su Wanyun to be affected by what Lu Ming would do next.
