Pharaoh and her queen

Sparse and bright lights flickered silently in the quiet inner courtyard, and the night breeze carried the moon's brilliance quietly over the steps, lifted the light and soft curtains in the room, and the corner embroidered with golden dark patterns swayed slightly with the wind, hidden into the room. Leg edge.

"Knock Knock ~~"

Its leaned on the soft pillow, her focused eyes on the papyrus documents were not distracted for a moment by the movement outside the door, her side face was calm and quiet, and she could not discern any emotions.

Ye Zhiqing was holding the medicine, and his steps faltered slightly. There seemed to be a cluster of moon-white flames in his pupils, flickering on and off, and the candlelight projected on his feet, smudged with layers of light golden halos.

The ups and downs of emotions are only for a moment, and they disappear in the boundless night in a blink of an eye.

Ye Zhiqing approached slowly, his clear voice filled with gentleness, "Your Majesty Edith, it's time to change your medicine."

"Yeah," Edith hummed lightly, her voice was low and hoarse, as if she was very tired.

Ye Zhiqing leaned over lightly, and Etis was wearing a short gown with half-slanted shoulders, unbuttoned the shoulders, gauze, and you could see the terrible wound.

From the chest to the back, an arrow pierced through the shoulder blade. Even after half a month, the wound was still horrifying. The dark red pus was squeezed out, and the medicine was applied again, and the gauze was wrapped.

The soft hair inadvertently brushed over the pinnae and fell on the shoulders and neck. It was unknown whether it was because of the pain of the wound or the itching on the shoulders and necks. Edith's eyelids raised, and her eyelashes trembled unconsciously.

The quiet and gentle night, because of Ye Zhiqing's arrival, gradually took on a subtle and indescribable atmosphere.

Its put down the paperwork in his hand, looked at Ye Zhiqing who was sweating profusely from changing the medicine, and a trace of teasing flashed in his eyes, "Is it so tiring to help me change the medicine?"

Ye Zhiqing stood up straight, leaned back, stared at Ittis without saying a word, then bent down suddenly and took away all the documents on the couch, including the one in Ittis' hand, "Your Majesty, you should rest. "

Apparently he didn't expect Ye Zhiqing to make such a bold move, Itis was taken aback, then chuckled, "Are you worried about me?"

Neither admitted nor denied, Ye Zhiqing answered irrelevantly, "After the Battle of Kadesh, both Egypt and Hittites suffered losses. At least for now, it seems that I should not be the one who is worried."

With a hint of sarcasm in his smile, the meaning of Ye Zhiqing’s words is self-evident. Egypt’s vitality has been greatly damaged after this battle. When the battle on the Songrong Peninsula is over, Egypt will no longer be able to support the external expansion war, so it must stop the war. live.

"But I still won," the red lips spat lightly, and Edith's wanton smile was filled with arrogance and arrogance, which was the arrogance and confidence that belonged only to the queen of Egypt.

"The Hittite army is several times stronger than I expected, but they also didn't expect that I have you," the voice fell, and the naked eyes with strong search meaning fell on Ye Zhiqing, like the claws of a wild beast Stretching across Ye Zhiqing's fragile neck, her life will be taken away in the next second.

Everyone wants to know, what is the connection between that blaze and the beautiful woman under the sea of ​​fire.

The same is true for Itis, for the king of an empire, he will never tolerate any person or thing beyond his control, even if to some extent, Ye Zhiqing saved himself and saved a battle that was on the verge of defeat .

But this made her even more afraid. On the throne that is revered by thousands of people, there is also a loneliness that no one can watch.

Suspicion, precautions... From the moment you ascend to this position, you are like a maggot attached to your bone, accompanying you like a shadow.

She can't and won't trust anyone but herself.

If you can't conquer it, then you will be destroyed. A strong violent breath suddenly came, like strands of thin threads that quietly clung to Ye Zhiqing's body, slowly entangled and closed, and a faint sense of suffocation came from the heart and lungs.

Ye Zhiqing calmed down, his eyes were shallow, pure black, clear and clean, staring at Ittis quietly, without opening his mouth for a long time.

"My servant, you should know the consequences of silence, no one is willing to keep a threat by your side," Edith squinted at Ye Zhiqing, with obvious impatience between his brows, and the threat in his words was evident.

The silent night wind wandered around the edge of the window, circling and refusing to enter, the cold moonlight poured in along the clear marble lines, the candles flickered on and off, and the air in the room gradually became stuffy.

But Ye Zhiqing's limbs gradually became cold, as if soaked in snow water, and the tenderness in his eyes was covered by endless blackness. After deliberating for a while, he explained the cause of the rain to Etis in the fastest and calmest words. .

long silence...

Tiredness gradually stained the ends of the eyes. Here, the withered vegetation, the flood season of the river, and even life, old age, sickness and death are all attributed to the gift of God. Ye Zhiqing is not sure whether Edith can understand what she said.

Sometimes Etis is like a bloodthirsty and bloodthirsty beast. It is very easy to let people off guard when pretending to be asleep, and then bites your fragile throat silently, horrified.

Uncontrollably, a thin layer of clear cold sweat oozes from Ye Zhiqing's delicate skin texture.

The deliberate, guarded, and murderous eyes glanced back and forth at Ye Zhiqing's body naked, naked, and finally all fell silent, without any further waves.

The strong violent and hostile atmosphere quickly disappeared in the air, and it was peaceful as if nothing had happened.

Ye Zhiqing recalled that Etis was also like this before, irritable, moody, and when she suddenly got into trouble, it was hard to resist.

Wu Zi breathed a sigh of relief, and said expressionlessly, "Since His Majesty is willing to continue to maintain the deal between us, then Zhiqing will step down."

The tacit agreement between the two is that Itis guarantees Ye Zhiqing's safety in Egypt, and everything about Ye Zhiqing belongs to the Queen of Egypt, from body to soul.

What Edith didn't know was that Ye Zhiqing was willing to stay in Egypt in order to find the golden scepter that brought her to another world, and to find a chance to return to 21C.

Turning around and about to leave, a hoarse and majestic voice came from behind him, "Stop."

Standing still, Ye Zhiqing frowned slightly, and turned to look at Ittis with confusion.

With an arrogant and lazy posture, Its took it for granted, "The wound is open."

With a glint in his eyes, Ye Zhiqing approached and began to treat the wound again.

The slightly warm fingertips slid across the cold and firm honey-colored skin, and there seemed to be dense and itchy sensations.

Its turned her head to the side, Ye Zhiqing's thick and curly eyelashes fluttered slightly, and the pure black eyes seemed to be condensed with moonlight, shining brightly, with a serious and focused expression, which was the most deceptive.

Greedy desire for Ye Zhiqing surged in the amber eyes, and there was nothing to hide under the dim candlelight, but no one could see it.

The shadows of the branches in the outer court are sparse, and the coolness gradually penetrates.

Ye Zhiqing bandaged the wound carefully, made sure that the wound would not open again, packed up his things and prepared to leave, "Your Majesty Edith, you can rest now."

Straightened up, before taking two steps, Ittis stretched out his arms and pulled the man back, holding him firmly with one hand.

In a blink of an eye, the bed curtain swayed, and Ye Zhiqing was already lying on his side in the bed when he came back to his senses, in such a way that there was no chance for him to refuse.

Ye Zhiqing: "..."

A hint of depression flashed across his face. If Lan Masu hadn't told himself that Itis was seriously injured and insisted on going back to find her despite dissuasion, causing the injury to worsen, and unwilling to let other maids get close, Ye Zhiqing would not have taken her It's a job to change the mood of this moody tyrant.

Turning his head to the side, Ittis has closed his eyelids, his eyebrows are stretched, and the cold and hard texture of the side face has faded away. Under the warm yellow firelight, there is a little softness, as if he is about to fall asleep.

Ye Zhiqing was stunned, watching Ittis didn't move for a long time, the arms across his waist were tight and strong, the two of them were tightly pressed together, the warm temperature penetrated through the light and thin gown, and even the breathing became a little heavy.

Edith's thick eyelashes cast a crescent-shaped shadow under the flickering candlelight, swaying erratically, but still unable to cover the blue-black color at the bottom of the eye sockets.

Ye Zhiqing calmed down, and suddenly realized that the rumored brutal, bloodthirsty, domineering Egyptian queen had unimaginable concentration and persistence in dealing with political affairs.

Half a month ago, I was rescued from the desert by Ittis, and I haven't recovered after half a month of leisurely care. Ittis' injury is even more serious, but judging from the few contacts, this The Egyptian queen has not rested since she woke up, and she doesn't care about the injury on her shoulder blade.

According to the news I heard from Lan Masu in the past few days, it was not much different from my previous guess. Both Egypt and Hittite suffered losses in the Battle of Kadesh, and no one benefited.

But from another perspective, Its should have won. Hittite dispatched several times its troops this time, but fell into the trap of Its and suffered heavy losses, which outweighed the gains.

The major historical events are slowly moving forward according to the established track, except that Ittis did not die in Kadesh, everything fits perfectly.

A bold guess suddenly popped up in Ye Zhiqing's mind, his black eyes flashed with excitement, Itis is safe and sound this time, does that mean that certain events can be changed, as long as history The general trajectory has not changed, and these small deviations can be ignored.

A few sounds of Xixisuo disturbed the dull night stretching towards the sky, the sound of breathing near the ears gradually became steady and long, and the strength restraining his waist seemed to be weakening, Ye Zhiqing tentatively sat up.

As soon as his elbows supported the side of the bed, before he had time to move, Edith's hoarse and deep voice came from the outside, "Don't move," filled with a deep sense of tiredness and exhaustion, as well as an imperceptible threat mean.

Ye Zhiqing was in a daze, as if someone had stayed in the dark for a long time, and suddenly another person broke in forcefully, leaving an indelible mark in a short period of time.

The deep pupils were small and confused, and the complicated emotions that were intricately intertwined made Ye Zhiqing feel a little at a loss for a while.

After hesitating for a long time, Ye Zhiqing finally let out a helpless sigh, lay down slowly avoiding Itis's wound, closed his eyes tightly, and tried to isolate all external objects that affect his emotions.
