Lu Yun did not choose to spend the night in the castle, after all, it would arouse suspicion from others. He hurried back to the Duke's Mansion, but as soon as he returned, Zhao Yueyao appeared beside him like a ghost.
"Lu Yun! Tell me, it's almost dawn and you're back. What do you mean by that?"
"It's daybreak now, you know? Even if we were talking, it wouldn't take that long, right? What on earth were you two doing in the palace?"
Zhao Yueyao quickly came up and sniffed him hard. When she smelled his scent, she suddenly looked shocked and said angrily.
"You smell like a woman, like Her Majesty the Queen. And I also detect a strange smell. No, no."
Zhao Yueyao sniffed his body carefully and smelled a pungent smell again. She reacted instantly and said angrily.
"I knew you two were up to no good."
"This queen called you over in the middle of the night just to do something like this. How shameless! How could you be like this?"
Lu Yun smiled awkwardly, knowing that he couldn't hide this from Zhao Yueyao, so he had to tell the truth, "I have no choice. Her Majesty the Queen summoned me to the palace and drugged herself."
"I can't just stand by and watch someone die. You know, even the most skilled doctors and the strongest people can't cure this kind of disease. So I can only try my best to cooperate with the Queen."
"The Queen didn't refuse!"
"There's a saying that goes, 'Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.' I can't help it. I'm doing this to save lives."
“…”
Zhao Yueyao couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this. "Okay, okay, I knew it."
"But what does this queen mean? She took the initiative to give herself this kind of medicine."
"Isn't this simple? Of course the Queen wants to use this opportunity to win me over, but she doesn't know how to use it. She can only resort to such despicable means."
"I understand. It's still about power. The Queen feels that only by keeping you firmly in her hands can she get you to help wholeheartedly."
“That’s right…”
Although Zhao Yueyao could understand the queen's thoughts, she still sighed helplessly.
She felt that the man in front of her was too philandering and playboyish.
What’s more important is that wherever he goes, every woman seems to have very high power and status.
This is too incredible!
Forget it, since it has already happened, there is nothing I can do.
…
The next day.
The Vatican's guards suddenly appeared in the parliament and found a duke. They arrested him in front of everyone and then paraded him through the streets. The crime they gave was.
“This duke, as a member of the parliament, actually openly offended the gods and said that the gods were a bunch of hypocrites. He also slandered their teachings and belittled the legendary gods.
Moreover, as a member of Parliament and a duke, he oppressed the common people everywhere, took a lot of their money into his own hands, and he also oppressed women."
In short, the Holy See accused him of a serious crime, and all the blame was placed on the duke. It can be said that this old man was extremely miserable.
He was not guilty of any of these charges, but the Pope forced them upon him and he could not refute them.
What should I do then...
There is no way, because this old man has always been very angry and opposed to the Pope gaining power.
And he was the one who opposed it the most.
The Duke did not choose to plead guilty, but the workers insulted the Pope. It can be said that he was very stubborn. He felt that the Pope should not have so much power and should not take power into his own hands.
But these civilians didn't know. They felt that what the Pope said was right, and since the Holy See had already said so, it was still slandering the God in their minds!
This was a great act of treason, and the common people began to accuse the Duke.
However, Felicius's actions angered the parliament. Those old men were not pushovers either. Since it was a power struggle, they would also resist.
Although the parliament does not have as many followers as the Pope, it does not have as much public opinion.
However, the parliament had a large number of nobles under its command, and after joining forces with these nobles, the nobles released a lot of shocking news.
This also quickly spread throughout the city of Athens.
"I heard that the Pope bullies men and women. As a Pope, he has taken countless treasures into his own hands. It is wrong for a Pope to be so greedy!"
"I heard that the Pope has bought a large piece of land for his own enjoyment, and he has many slaves under his command. How can this be possible?"
"That's not even the most important thing. Not only does the Pope violate the precepts privately, but he also doesn't particularly respect the gods. I heard that the Pope obtained the position by killing many of his competitors."
"That's right. When this Pope was accepting the process, many of his competitors died inexplicably. This is not simple..."
The parliament’s counterattack method was very simple, which was to use public opinion to discredit the Pope’s identity. They fought to the death.
After learning about these things, Juliana was the one who laughed the happiest.
She was so happy that she never expected that such a competition would take place between the Parliament and the Pope.
Then I can feel relieved!
I have to say that this trick is very good. Thanks to the messenger of God, who came up with this idea for me.
In the castle.
Queen Zhu Lina summoned Lu Yun, with Zhao Yueyao beside him.
"Two messengers from the gods."
Zhao Yueyao pouted and looked at the queen with an unhappy look.
"Your Majesty, this is what happened between you and my husband."
"I don't want to say anything, I just hope you can be more sincere."
Zhu Lina felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She didn't expect that such a thing would be known to others.
Then there is no need to hide it.
"Lu Yun will be my only man. As the queen, I will never betray him. I will also sincerely do good for him. Please rest assured."
"That'll do."
"By the way, the conflict between the Pope and the Parliament is getting worse and worse. They have attacked each other. Now, the Pope's reputation is also being questioned by some people."
“This is still a very friendly situation for us.”
"Lu Yun, I think we should go to the temple once we leave the palace. There are still many temples in our city of Athens."
"You've never been there either. I'll take you there myself."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
