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.
"Di Yun, Linger, you go to the inn." Chen Shishi sketched a few strokes on the letter.
Di Yun took the letter and took Zheng Ling'er away from the palace.
"Ling'er, you go to the inn. I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest." Di Yun handed the letter to Zheng Ling'er and smiled apologetically.
Zheng Ling'er took the letter, frowned slightly and nodded.
Di Yun left. When she saw the secret message in her hand, her heart beat loudly and she hesitated whether to open it or not.
After a long time, she still tore open the secret letter...
At the same time in the palace, Chen Shishi and Di Yun were sitting opposite each other, their eyes facing each other.
"If the little emperor mobilizes troops on a large scale, it is enough to prove that Zheng Ling'er is a spy..."
Di Yun nodded without saying anything.
Both King Yan and Chen Shishi suspected that Zheng Ling'er was a spy, but he didn't believe it, so he exposed the flaw...
……………………
After about an hour, Zhu Youde returned to the palace.
In order not to alert others, I walked carefully all the way, for fear of being discovered and failing.
In Yangxin Hall, Zhu Youde is waiting for Li Renjie to come back.
The breeze blew and Li Renjie appeared in the corner.
"Your Majesty, this is the portrait of the saint."
It turned out that Zhu Youde suspected that he had seen the saint somewhere, so in order not to expose himself, he asked Li Renjie to disguise himself to spy on the information.
Spreading out the portrait, Zhu Youde frowned and his pupils dilated.
This portrait...
Too familiar.
Especially these eyes!
But he couldn't even think of where he had seen it before!
Wang Zhonghou glanced at it and was shocked!
"Your Majesty, this is the flying assassin!"
Flying assassin?
Zhu Youde searched in his mind, and his thoughts were fixed on the assassination of the queen.
At that time, Zhang Yuanhai sent dozens of assassins to assassinate Luo Xian. An assassin who knew Qinggong finally left the antidote and saved Luo Xian...
Moreover, in the competition between Beiyan missions not long ago, she appeared again and killed the hidden soldiers sent by Beiyan in one fell swoop, saving thirty soldiers from Daliang.
"is her……"
Zhu Youde suddenly realized, no wonder it was so familiar.
Wang Zhonghou stared at the portrait, anger flashed in Gujing Wubo's eyes.
"I remember very clearly that she knows Qing Kung Fu! You also scolded me and the general at that time..."
After saying this, Zhu Youde's memory was completely restored.
"I didn't expect that she turned out to be a saint from the Holy Cult... If Xian'er hadn't blocked that sword for me at that time, I'm afraid the whole world would have been named Liu..."
Zhu Youde's eyes flashed with anger, no wonder the assassin stopped making any moves later. It must have been that Zhang Yuanhai was dancing too much at that time, and Ci Ning was afraid that taking over the dynasty might lead to a coup.
Now that Zhang Yuanhai has fallen, the government is stable, and the military is in control, there is a problem if Cining can sit still...
"Do you know the level of the saint's martial arts?" Zhu Youde asked Li Renjie and Wang Zhonghou.
The two were silent for a moment, and Li Renjie said first: "If you are not subordinate to me, you should be a first-class warrior..."
Wang Zhonghou smiled and shook his head: "It should not be as simple as a first-class martial artist. This old slave has been studying martial arts for decades but has not yet understood Qing Gong. I think that saint must have reached the realm of a martial artist."
Zhu Youde was shocked when he said this.
In other words, the Saint is stronger than Wang Zhonghou?!
"What a martial artist, what a saint! Cining's hand is stretched too far!"
Zhu Youde slammed the table and burst out in anger: "There is a threat from the Holy Cult outside the palace, and there is a beauty trap inside the palace. I will make a counter-trick tonight!"
After saying this, he walked towards Tinghua Palace.
……………………
Listen to the Flower Palace.
The Liu sisters burned Cining's letters and lit incense.
"Your Majesty is here!"
When they heard that His Majesty had arrived, the two women looked panicked and hurriedly hid the burned ashes in the cupboard.
"Your Majesty, I am waiting for you to take a bath." Liu Xiyun pulled Zhu Youde away with a charming smile on his face.
Even though he was surrounded by the beauty's fragrance and covered with incense, Zhu Youde still smelled a burning smell.
He was familiar with that smell - the smell of burned letters.
He remained calm and pretended to be tired as he bathed and changed clothes under Liu Xiyun's service.
Walking to the inner room, red lanterns were hung, and Liu Xiyue danced with bare feet in a light veil.
Her long, white and beautiful legs were dangling in front of Zhu Youde, and her red dress exposed her snow-white skin.
The beauty's figure swayed, and the mountain peaks jumped.
Zhu Youde swallowed his saliva, pulled Liu Xiyun down on the bed, and pressed down the beauty's head...
The younger sister dances and the older sister serves.
How wonderful!
For a long time, Zhu Youde hugged the beauty and felt extremely comfortable.
"Yue'er, come here!" Zhu Youde pointed to the bed and said.
Blushing with shame, the two sisters climbed onto the dragon's bed, their thin gauze skirts falling off to reveal the beautiful mountains and rivers.
Zhu Youde pretended to be intoxicated and showed affection...
After half an hour, the clouds and rain stopped.
"Your Majesty, you are so powerful today..." The Liu sisters murmured weakly as they lay in Zhu Youde's arms.
"Is there a day when I am not brave?"
Zhu Youde looked at the tired two people and sneered in his heart. I am a man who has been hypnotized by Zhang Lan's little fairy. How can I still be captured by a beauty trap?
Thinking about it, Zhu Youde pretended to be intoxicated and said: "After two days, I will declare the queen to be deposed, demote Luo Xian to the cold palace, and make you sisters queen!"
As soon as these words came out, the tired Liu sisters didn't care about their tiredness and got up to look at Zhu Youde who looked sincere.
The two girls' hearts trembled as they recalled every detail of the past two days and the letter from the Queen Mother just now...
"Why, you don't want to?" Seeing the Liu family's hesitation, Zhu Youde asked.
"No, no, no! I just..." Liu Xiyun and Liu Xiyue looked at each other and began to hesitate.
If you agree to Zhu Youde's dethronement, you are obeying the Queen Mother's will; if you don't agree, you are disobeying...
The two girls fell into deep thought.
They originally thought that Zhu Youde's love for them was just out of mind control pills, but the Queen Mother clearly told them that it was Zhu Youde's true inner thoughts.
In the past few days, Zhu Youde was meticulous about every detail, whether on or off the bed, making them unable to bear to be deceived...
Tangled.
Difficult.
pain.
Various emotions pile up inside.
Zhu Youde looked at everything in his eyes and said coldly: "Why are you hesitating? Are you unable to bear to deceive me?"
Still thinking deeply, the Liu sisters responded without thinking: "Yes..."
As soon as these words came out, the two women suddenly raised their heads and looked at each other with shocked expressions in their eyes.
Your Majesty knows what they are thinking?
"What are you deceiving me about?" Zhu Youde sat on the bed, playing with the dagger in his hand.
The bright dagger was thrown to the ground.
The Liu sisters looked at the dagger falling in front of them, and their hearts trembled.
"Don't you want to kill me? I'll give you this opportunity, pick up the dagger and kill me..."
Zhu Youde had no emotion and spoke word for word.
The Liu sisters were trembling all over. They raised their heads and looked into Zhu Youde's cold eyes, and their delicate bodies trembled suddenly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are talking about..."
"Isn't Cining's purpose just to kill me?"
After hearing the word "Cining", the Liu sisters' breathing was obviously rapid and they did not dare to look at Zhu Youde.
"I tell you to pick up the knife! Kill me!"
A loud shout! The power of the dragon fills the air!
Zhu Youde stood up, picked up the dagger on the ground and put it in Liu Xiyun's hand.
"Stand up and kill me! In this world, the last name is Liu..."
Liu Xiyun's jade hand holding the dagger trembled uncontrollably.
Suddenly, she raised her dagger...
[The author has something to say]
