The saint's eyes were fixed on Zhu Youde, their eyes facing each other.

Those eyes felt extremely familiar to Zhu Youde!

I searched in my mind, but there was no image.

But Zhu Youde is sure that the two of them must have met before!

After falling on the ring, Zhu Youde rolled and jumped back into the crowd, holding a willow branch in his hand.

Immediately, the people around him cheered, applauding Zhu Youde's good skills.

The saint above also stared at Zhu Youde's figure for a second time, and an impossible idea came to her mind...

Then she shook her head to deny what she was thinking, and threw out the last few wickers in the jade bottle.

Another seven or eight warriors went out to grab the wicker sticks. So far, all the wicker sticks had their own owners, but no ordinary people had grabbed them.

Looking at it this way, Zhu Youde was even more sure of what he just thought.

The smell of the Heart-Controlling Pill emitted from the wicker stick in his hand made him dizzy. When the Liu sisters were not paying attention, he took a pill given by Li Renjie.

The pills developed by the guards in Jinyiwei who are knowledgeable in medical skills can effectively prevent the effects of the Heart-Controlling Pill.

"Your Majesty, you are not a believer in the Holy Religion, so why are you trying to rob the wicker?" Liu Xiyun asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Zhu Youde smiled softly and pointed at the black-clothed warrior behind him.

The Liu sisters looked over and saw the warrior in black handing the wicker in his hand to an outstanding woman.

"What other women have, how can my woman lack it?"

Zhu Youde said and handed the wicker to the beauty.

The two women's faces turned red, and they looked at each other and took the wicker, feeling extremely warm in their hearts.

Although he entered the palace not long ago, Zhu Youde's companionship for them was no less than that of the queen. In the past two days, he even seemed to want to surpass the queen...

This caused the Liu sisters to fall into wild thoughts, and the firmness in their hearts was shaken.

Just as he was thinking about it, the saint on the high platform raised her voice and said: "Congratulations to all the believers who have grabbed the willow sticks. At a quarter of noon tonight, bring the willow sticks to the southern suburbs of the Chenghuang Temple. I will personally baptize you and accept you as core believers."

After saying this, tens of thousands of believers shouted.

The saint turned the jade purification bottle in her hand upside down and poured the pure water inside into her hands. She balled up her hands and the pure water turned into a gentle breeze and sprinkled on the people.

The believers who did not grab the wicker also smiled happily and became even more excited.

In Zhu Youde's view, this was just an ordinary ceremony, but it convinced the people so much.

I have to say that religion is a good way to win people over.

"After the border war is resolved, the official religion of the Liang Dynasty will be launched..."

Zhu Youde thought in his heart, and the believers around him began to disperse.

The Feast of Baptism is finally over.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, why don't you go back to the palace?" Wang Zhonghou asked in a low voice.

"No, I will accompany the beauty to have dinner, and you can go back to the palace on your own."

The Liu family twins looked happy, can they still eat out?

"I'm going to visit the Holy Temple in the southern suburbs tonight." Zhu Youde added.

Wang Zhonghou saw Zhu Youde's eyes, nodded and left on his own.

"Come on, beauty, I will take you to the best inn in the capital to try something new."

The Liu sisters looked back at the saint on the high platform...

……………………

In the palace, Luo Xian took the pills given by Zhu Youde and went to Cining Palace.

She was about to take the most important step in countering the conspiracy.

"Queen?" Ci Ning, who was refining elixirs, was slightly startled when her maid informed Luo Xian to see her.

Although the Queen Mother's Palace is under the jurisdiction of the Harem, it almost always exists independently, and the Queen will not ask to see it unless she has something to do.

"Follow me and have a look."

Cining stopped refining alchemy and returned to the main hall.

"Empress Dowager, do you want to make the decision for me?!"

As soon as she saw Luo Xian, she knelt on the ground and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, your Majesty wants to abolish the queen!"

This commotion left Cining at a loss.

In the past, the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Empress of the East and West Palaces had not been very friendly, especially Ci'an of the West Palace, who had taken great action for Feng Yin.

Luo Xian came to cry to the emperor today?

"Queen, why is this happening?" Ci Ning helped Luo Xian get up.

"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty reprimands my concubine for not being able to give birth to a dragon son and wants to depose the queen!"

Luo Xian's voice was filled with tears. Even though Cining was well-informed, he couldn't see Luo Xian's true face.

Wiping away her tears, he immediately said, "Could it be that Your Majesty was joking with the Queen?"

Luo Xian sobbed and had no words.

How could Cining not know whether it was true or not? Rumors were spreading in the harem, saying that the Queen had fallen out of favor and that His Majesty wanted to depose her.

This is not groundless.

Stimulated by the Heart-Controlling Pill, His Majesty became more determined to make the Liu sisters his queen.

"Empress Dowager, I'm here to ask you for something." Luo Xian sobbed.

"What is it?" Cining had already guessed it.

"Beauty elixir."

Ci Ning smiled in her heart, Luo Xian must have thought that His Majesty favored the Liu sisters because of the effect of the beauty elixir.

Then he waved his hand and signaled the maid to take out three pills.

"Queen, this beauty pill is a rare good thing. If you want to capture His Majesty's heart, you must take it every day..."

"Thank you Queen Mother for the reward, Xian'er is very grateful." Luo Xian took the heart control pill and swallowed one in front of Cining.

Ci Ning squinted her eyes and revealed an imperceptible smile.

After Luo Xian left, she wrote a letter and gave it to the maid, ordering it to be sent to Tinghua Palace.

……………………

A quarter past noon, southern suburbs.

Zhu Youde took the Liu sisters all the way to this place, and it was no longer a commercial area as they moved forward.

"Wait here." Zhu Youde stopped and looked back.

"Your Majesty is waiting for someone?" Liu Xiyue asked.

"Yes! Wait for someone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhonghou's disguised figure appeared.

"Your Majesty, I'm late."

Zhu Youde ignored Wang Zhonghou, but said to the Liu sisters: "I'm going to see the baptismal festival of the holy religion. You follow the princes and go back to the palace to take a bath first. After I return to the palace, you go to the Flower Palace..."

After explaining, he went straight to the Holy Temple.

After walking for about two miles, there were few people around. Through the night light, we could faintly see the temple located on the roadside.

It's huge, comparable to a palace.

It is rare for a folk temple to be built on such a large scale.

Zhu Youde approached the roadside, and suddenly a breeze blew by, and Li Renjie appeared.

The two exchanged clothes, Zhu Youde continued to move forward, and Li Renjie entered the temple dressed as Zhu Youde.

……………………

Beidi, the residence of Prince Yan.

Chen Shishi, Di Yun and Zheng Ling'er were waiting in the empty hall.

After a while, a soldier hurried over and handed over a secret letter.

Chen Shishi read it and said softly: "It's done!"

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the stones in their hearts fell to the ground.

The mission assigned by King Yan to them to attack the Mingyue Gang was successfully completed.

In this way, all it takes is a little trick from King Yan to force King Han to join forces to rebel.
To be continued...
