Alexander met Uriu later than he thought, mainly because Uriu was busy recently.

The Moors lived a good life in Valyaridod. Although they could not be as smooth as they were in Rome, with his cleverness, Uriu soon became a good friend of the servants of many noble families of Valyaridod.

He traveled through the noble kitchens, backyards, manors and stables with all kinds of novel goods. These places were also the best places for him to find out the news. Many maids liked to smash their clothes with wooden hammers by the river, while communicating with each other's trivial matters at their homes. Most of these things were useless, but if you listen carefully, you might find very important news.

But Uriu dared not easily develop suspicion among these noble servants. Although he relied on spending money to inquire about a lot of important news, he would never trust anyone easily. The reason for his inquiry about these news was very simple, which was to hope to know the preferences of those noble men and then long to sell his goods to the masters and wives one day.

The noble imperial official and the court chief were groceries in Iberia, which made Uriu feel a little hurtful of self-esteem. However, compared with the great cause of the master, this sacrifice was nothing, so the match-selling man turned into a peddler, and except for entering and leaving the noble family of all sizes, he always stared at someone.

However, because he was too close to this person, even though he knew that Alexander had entered the city, Uriu still couldn't find time to see him immediately. It was not until the afternoon of the third day after the welcome ceremony that Alexander heard from a servant that a Moorish peddler came to visit him.

Except for the Balkans, Alexander brought all the followers this time, which were recommended by Diego to him, so these people didn't know much about Alexander.

They only knew that this duke from a foreign country was a friend of Mr. Tiego, and they would obey the orders of this duke unconditionally as if they were obeying Mr. Tiego's orders.

Alexander was very satisfied with Tiego's caution. After all, this is Iberia, and it is a place where many people regard the Isabella couple as liberators or even saviors. The fanatical worship made the lower class and the little nobles blindly loyal to the king and his wife. This was also the basis for Isabella's daring to withdraw power to the old nobles, so Tiego's caution is completely understandable.

"The people here are hard to deal with," Uriu said helplessly to Alexander. "I'm not saying they are so smart. They are sometimes cunning, but most of the time they are stubborn like donkeys, but because this is hard to deal with, because once they recognize something, it's hard to change."

"It's like loyalty to the Queen?"

Alexander asked, and saw Uriu nodding with a bitter smile, he sighed in empathy. During this period, he had heard too much respect for Isabella, so many people even compared the Queen directly with the Pope, which was impossible elsewhere. Even though there was no respect for the cessation, no monarch would publicly claim that he was equal to the Pope.

Alexander did not believe that remarks were just spontaneous results of the people. It was obvious that Isabella was good at using the emotions of the people. This can be seen from the establishment of the Religious Tribunal. She had eliminated many enemies by using the Religious Tribunal, but all the blame was thrown to the church. This made people admire that this queen is really a good player in politics.

"Thomas Tongomada is strange lately," Uriu reported to Alexander. "I have been staring at this man these days, and I have never had the chance to escape on the day you enter the city. Although he is the queen's private pastor, this man has been living in a small church outside the palace. He will enter the palace only when the queen wants to see him, but he has been in the palace these days, which is very abnormal."

Alexander's expression became solemn. He knew what Uriu said. If something unexpected happened to Isabella, it would be the most beneficial to whom. After thinking about it, he shook his head slightly, at least he couldn't think of it now.

Even if there is a big contradiction, Isabella and Ferdinand are still husband and wife. Their goals are the same. They both want to see a unified and powerful United Kingdom established in their lifetimes, but now there are still many opposition forces, not only the old nobles, but also huge resistance among the new nobles. This makes Ferdinand need Isabella's support even more, so he cannot do anything surprising at this time.

But since this is the case, why has Isabella never appeared during this period?

"The queen may be sick," said Uriu suddenly. "I heard that someone had seen a very famous doctor, a groom who was a very famous doctor, who took some money to go to the brothel to have fun, but it is said that the doctor was a famous miser and he would not give his servants easily."

"So you think..."

"Maybe it was because the doctor got rich from somewhere that he became so generous," Uriu thought for a while and felt that his speculation was correct, so he nodded in self-appreciation. "Master, I think this is the case, but it is not so easy to get the doctor to reward his subordinates, so I can't think of any family in Valyaridod that can make him rich like this unless..."

"Unless it's a king."

Alexander nodded slowly, and he agreed with Uliu.

The so-called useful intelligence does not mean that you must eavesdrop on some secrets or pry open the secret room to steal an important document. It often hides the key keys that are enough to uncover a certain secret in seemingly trivial but completely unrelated sporadic messages. These private topics in the streets and alleys or boudoirs are useless to most people, but when they are heard by those with a heart, they can often reorganize and summarize these irrelevant things with their keen observation and flexible thinking, and then weave them into a huge and omnipresent intelligence network.

Alexander looked at Uriu with relief. When he decided to take in the Moor, he never thought that he would bring him such a surprise one day. Now it seems that even when he successfully abducted Da Vinci and his good friends in Milan, it might be just an inconspicuous small achievement. Perhaps Uriu was born with a certain ability to adapt to the environment, and he could always penetrate into everyone's side. This ability was not obstructed even in Iberia because of his skin color. On the contrary, he used the special environment of Iberia to show his special skills, which made Alexander unable to help but think that maybe he could hold a more important position in his future palace.

But it's too early to think about this now. The speculation that Isabella might have fallen ill has not been proven, and the fact that her condition is also the key is also the key. Alexander speculated that Ferdinand did not want his wife to have a bad time at this time, so that he would have to face a situation that he could not bear.

Although Isabella would pass away two years later in history, if she dies now, it would be more than just two years ahead of time.

The time of the Andalusian rebellion in history was not only delayed, but also was much smaller in scale.

In Alexander's memory, he was not sure whether the rebellion had a Maria twin sister, but the rebellion was just a farce for the old Andalusian nobles.

The rebellion was quickly quelled and did not affect Spain's unification at all, but this time it was different.

Alexander didn't know where the nun Alphonte was now, but he thought that as Don Bavi's last bargaining chip, she must have hidden her very well. Alexander even thought that maybe she had arrived at Barrialido now, among the nobles who were scrambling to express their loyalty to the king and his wife, how many were sincere and how many were waiting for the opportunity. Even Isabella herself didn't know.

"Let's figure out what the queen is doing now," Alexander instructed Uriu. He took out a strange-looking pure gold fingertip from the wooden cargo box brought by Uriu and put it on his hand. The gems inlaid on the fingertips shine in the sun. The slightly sharp fingertips had a dangerous curve like sharp daggers. This precious ornament full of oriental charm could be a prop for the ladies in the boudoir to show their husbands exotic style, but this gorgeous jewelry is also dangerous. As long as it is used ingeniously, the user can easily pierce a person's throat. After twitching his fingers a few times, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Uriu. "Tell me if Groggenin is doing business with you?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Uriu's face, and then he became a little uneasy. Then he looked at Alexander with a flattering look: "Master, you know that sometimes you need money to work. Master, I'm all for you. You see, I'm paying out of my own pocket now. You're talking about this..."

Alexander laughed and put the finger trap back into the box. He was not disgusted with Uriu doing this, but supported him. He just thought that this kind of transaction was monopolized by the two of them, and he always felt a little uncomfortable.

"I remember my sister had a very beautiful set of armor. Although it was purely her decoration, you know that women will never dislike their clothes, so the same is true for armor. I hope to see her wearing an exotic armor, gorgeous, majestic, and refreshing."

Alexander said as he glanced at Uriu. Seeing that Moore's face had already become bitter, he smiled and picked up a pen from the table and began to draw on the paper quickly.

Alexander's painting skills were not good. Compared with many versatile nobles of this era, he could only say that he was mediocre, but he still described it in a general way.

When he pushed the drawing pattern in front of Uriu, the Moors looked at the strange-shaped armor on it and looked a little strange. His thick lips moved a few times, then put away the drawing pattern and said carefully: "Master, do you definitely want to create such a piece of armor for Her Majesty the Queen?"

Seeing Alexander nodding, Uriu hesitated for a while and finally continued, "I will make this armor as soon as possible, but Master, please don't let Your Majesty know that this is what I did, otherwise I may not have the chance to serve you."

Alexander burst into laughter. While reminding Uriu to use the most expensive materials and the most beautiful gems, he unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table.

"Isabella is likely to be recuperating in some place in the palace. Ferdinand doesn't want others to know about this, but the queen needs someone to take care of her, so the maids around her must know about Isabella's situation."

"I will pay attention to the master. I know many servants from noble families who have a good relationship with the queen's maid. As for the queen's maid, I can also find ways to get close to their family."

Alexander looked at Uriu and showed a look of praise.

Speaking of which, Uriu is a very happy young man. In Alexander's memory, he always does his job with a smile. Even though those jobs are not so pleasant, he can always face all kinds of troubles with an optimistic attitude.

Alexander sometimes thought that perhaps it was his optimistic attitude that made everyone who approached him unable to be wary of him, and it is unknown whether this optimism was also an illusion created by Uriu.

Pope Alexander VI was arranged by Ferdinand in a rather gorgeous palace near the Talloi River.

This polygonal palace called Rose Corner is located in the west of the palace. A stream running through the palace surrounds the palace between the stream and the Talloi River, which is separated by a wall outside the palace.

An arch bridge connects the Rose Corner to the rest of the palace, but in this way, the palace is isolated invisibly.

Alexander VI seemed to care about Ferdinand's arrangement, because after drinking some wine at the banquet, the pope got up very late the next day, and then he asked the archbishop to tell them all to go back to do their own business.

"I can't get any good revelation here, so I may get more answers by looking through the Bible."

The Pope sent someone to repost the most powerful people in the Castile Church, including the Archbishop, were stunned. For a moment, they did not know whether the Pope's words were purely boring self-mockery or had some meaning.

However, this sentence has another meaning in Ferdinand's ears.

"Did the Pope say that?"

Ferdinand looked at the person standing in front of him. This was his entourage at Valyaridod, the youngest son of the Count Aragon. When he was arranged by the king, he looked quite satisfied with the king. The count's face had finally gotten rid of the burden. Even after so many years, Ferdinand would not forget.

The entourage did not speak, but made a gesture of "it's true", which made Ferdinand understand a little more clearly.

"Tell them not to disturb His Majesty the Pope again," Ferdinand thought for a while and ordered his entourage, "that his Majesty hopes to be quieter and not to interfere with his life."

Seeing Ferdinand waved his hand and signaling that he could leave, the follower immediately bowed and turned around and left.

Ferdinand thought quietly, feeling that he had clearly revealed his intentions to Alexander VI, but the Pope's attitude now made him a little confused.

However, although Ferdinand was confused, he was still calm. He wanted to see what Alexander VI was doing, especially since Juana had never seen the Pope so far, Ferdinand was inevitably worried about some unexpected situations.

The situation in Valliardodo indeed became subtle because of Juana.

The Talois River is a tributary of (?). This river, which is not very wide but has extremely fast water due to the drop, was once a very important line of defense in the city of Valliedo.

This river faithfully guards most of the cities dominated by the old city, and the Highland Castle opposite the Talois River is a loyal witness to the city's century-long changes.

A man with a hoodie on his head even in such hot weather was driving a donkey cart on the path to the Highland Castle. His clothes were dirty and worn, and his hands on the side of the car were covered in mud. His appearance was very annoying, and what was really disgusting was his face.

This is a face that is bumpy and numb. Such a face is obviously a lucky person who escaped from the terrible claws of the ceiling. However, this face is too terrible, so that the guards guarding on the road not far from the castle turned their heads in disgust after seeing him.

"Come and bring water to the princess," the man said to the guards in a hoarse voice. Although the guards here already knew him, the man still carried the water tanks on the car one by one and placed them on the ground.

The guards looked at it perfunctorily and they knew that this person was working for the princess, perhaps because they were worried that even if they had become uninhibited, there would still be women who were obsessed with her husband. Juana forbidden any woman from entering the castle, and even the older ones were driven out rudely by her, so only the man came to serve her.

But when Philip's terrible disease spread, some servants were no longer afraid to come here. They shirked each other's responsibility and delayed, until later Isabella had to order people to find those who survived the leprosy to send them water and food.

What surprised people was that Juana seemed very satisfied with this arrangement.

Not only did she allow these people to enter and exit the castle, she also gave them rewards kindly.

Perhaps in Juana's opinion, these ugly people are more acceptable to her because they are similar to Philip now, or because these people are lonely, but she is not afraid of loneliness. For her, she may be satisfied as long as she is able to be by Philip's side, and she may even enjoy such loneliness.

But Isabella could not tolerate this kind of thing going on. She had sent people to force Juana out many times, but the result was that her daughter stood on the wall of the Highland Castle and threatened to jump from above if this happened again.

Isabella finally compromised. She no longer forced Juana, and at the same time asked her husband not to force her too much. However, she ordered people to keep a close eye on the road to the Highland Castle, and at the same time ordered local guards to closely monitor all those approaching the castle.

"I can't let anyone hurt my daughter, even if she is already insane now, but as long as she is my heir one day, Castilla will not be in turmoil. But if something happens to her, it is God punishing me and Castilla."

Isabella said this to the people around her on the hospital bed, all of which were her most trusted confidants. To be honest, she trusted them far more than Ferdinand. When the guards found that one of the food delivery men was talking, they immediately drove the man down without hesitation.

The man with a face drove the donkey cart and continued to move forward. His mission was to bring drinking spring water and changing clothes to the people in the castle.

This was Juana's request. Although Philip was now frustrated beyond recognition, Juana insisted on changing him into beautiful clothes, just like when she first saw him.

This request is somewhat crazy, but people who have been scared by the princess's even more crazy behavior have to agree to her request.

I bought a car and stopped in the open space not far from the castle gate. A head was exposed from the crack of the wall above the city gate and looked down. After confirming that there was only one person, the head first shrank back. As I could vaguely shouted to the people below, the door slowly opened, and at the same time the head was exposed again. Then Juana shouted loudly from the city wall: "You can come in!"

The man with a slut face didn't think it was strange how the princess was on it. Every time someone wanted to enter the castle, Juana would personally monitor the city wall. Only by making sure that no one was following her would someone open the castle door. She would personally monitor the whole process, which made anyone who wanted to take the opportunity to sneak into the castle without success.

"No one can separate us."

This was Juana's oath to Philip, who had already lost consciousness in the bed. For this reason, she had even asked someone to prepare a huge sarcophagus in the castle, which was prepared for the two of them.

She is ready to fulfill her promise, and even if she dies, she will not let them separate!

Juana hurriedly ran down the steps on the wall. Although she had only left for such a short while, she could no longer bear it. She wanted to rush back to her husband as soon as possible.

But those clothes were what she was anxious to ask for, so she hurriedly ran to the donkey cart and pulled the bag that looked like clothes. At the same time, she shouted loudly to help her move the things into the room.

"Your Highness, I'll help you move in. These things are a bit heavy." The man with a numb face said as he picked up the huge bag and took me inside. Juana immediately followed behind and walked in.

But when she took a few steps behind the man, she suddenly heard the man say in a very low voice: "Your Highness, don't you want to cure the prince's illness?"
