Pharaoh and her queen

"Lan Masu, she hasn't come back yet?" Edith was lying on her side on the soft couch, her posture was laziness, but there was undisguised impatience in her words.

Lan Masu knelt aside cautiously, replying to the queen who was faintly on the verge of getting angry, Miss Ye had been out all afternoon, why she hadn't come back yet.

Its looked at the darkening sky outside the window, with a storm in her amber eyes, and was about to reach for the wine glass placed on the side, as if thinking of something, she retracted her hand in mid-air.

Its is addicted to alcohol, and the female servants who serve her know it, so at any time, good wine will be prepared at a place that Its can reach.

Edith stared at the thin calluses on her palms in a daze. No one would ever dissuade her from drinking less, except for the woman who always surprised her.

The coldness on his face dissipated a bit, and Edith said indifferently, "Lan Masu, step back, and report back when she comes back."

"Yes."

***

The golden brocade woven by Yunyi disappeared at the end of the sky, his body was chilled by the evening wind, Ye Zhiqing stood motionless on the highest point of the low wall, his thoughts were empty.

The whole person was in a state of emptiness, and the firelight made the night darker and darker, but Ye Zhiqing didn't want to go back to the courtyard.

Ye Zhiqing moved his stiff body until his limbs were icy cold by the night wind. He didn't know where to go, so he walked around, with the royal guards behind him anyway, so he didn't have to worry about what would happen.

Rarely willful.

Turning around, only slightly messy footsteps could be heard in the thick night.

Suddenly, a faint voice of conversation came from outside the corner, very low, and Ye Zhiqing could only hear some clear and intermittent words.

"You have already betrayed..."

"Can't..."

The hidden scenes hidden in the dark are often the most arousing people's curiosity. Ye Zhiqing stopped in time, signaled the royal guards behind him to stop, and leaned against the wall to look at the source of the sound.

The source of the sound is still a long distance away from Ye Zhiqing, which is why she was not found. Fortunately, there is no obstruction in the middle, and Ye Zhiqing can barely see the two blurred figures in the distance.

One of the figures, Ye Zhiqing can be sure at a glance, it is General Hershey, Ye Zhiqing concentrates, the other figure gives her a very familiar feeling, as if she has seen it somewhere.

Even though it was far away, Ye Zhiqing could still see the other figure clearly in the dim light. His long hair was flowing with reddish-brown luster, hanging down his waist, outlining a graceful figure.

Very familiar.

A clear fragment flashed in his mind, long brown hair, and a gentle and delicate face like a moon, and doubts arose in his heart, could it be her.

She left behind water and dry food that night, and disappeared as soon as she woke up. Ye Zhiqing has never been able to guess her identity. Could it be Hexi's person?

However, the postures of the two standing opposite each other were not the same. From a distance, the woman's aura was even stronger than Hexi's.

Doubts are growing, who is she?

da~

Just as Ye Zhiqing took a few small steps forward, trying to see more clearly, he accidentally kicked the gravel on the ground. The sound was not loud, but it was especially obvious in the empty night.

With a tight heart, Ye Zhiqing watched the stone roll out, and when he looked up again, the other figure had disappeared, and Hexi was walking towards him.

Ye Zhiqing, who didn't expect to be caught eavesdropping, reacted quickly, straightened his face, took a few steps back, signaled the guards behind him to follow, and took the initiative to go forward.

"General Hirsch, what a coincidence that you are here at this late hour."

Seeing Ye Zhiqing's sudden appearance, Hexi looked indifferent, and loosely placed the hand holding the scimitar by his side.

Ignoring Ye Zhiqing, he looked at the captain of the guard behind him who was in charge of Ye Zhiqing's safety, "She doesn't know that you can't approach here, don't you know?"

"Reporting to the general, Wang's order is only for us to follow Ms. Ye to ensure her safety, and we can't interfere with where Ms. Ye wants to go."

Ye Zhiqing smiled, his posture was very relaxed and natural, calmly accepting Hexi's scrutiny.

Hirsch took two steps forward, stopped beside Ye Zhiqing, and said in a volume that could only be heard by two people, "Miss Ye, Hirsch has to remind you to always pay attention to your identity, an Egyptian prisoner of war, a low-status bed servant , if I find out that you have any unruly plans against the king, the scimitar in my hand will cut off your head without hesitation."

After speaking, he strode away without stopping.

Ye Zhiqing stood on the spot for a long time, and Hirsch's reaction was very strange. It was obvious that he was on high alert and ready to attack when he approached him just now.

For a while, I didn't have any clues, and I didn't have time to study it carefully. Knowing that I can't get close here, Ye Zhiqing thought about it, turned around and walked back.

The thin body seems to be swallowed up by the thicker and thicker night, only the bonfires on both sides of the road are still exuding sporadic warmth.

The sharp and loud whistle suddenly sounded under the night, from far to near, accompanied by the faint sound of horseshoes.

Suddenly there was the same sharp and loud whistle behind him, and Ye Zhiqing stopped. This was a way of communication, and he guessed in his heart that someone should be looking for him.

As expected, the sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer to him, but what surprised Ye Zhiqing was that the leader of the horse sitting upright was Ittis.

With a cold expression, Etis stopped in front of Ye Zhiqing on his horse, the glint in his eyes surged, and the shimmering moonlight shivered in the night wind, making it hard to read his emotions.

"Get on the horse," said an indifferent voice, and Etis stretched out his hand to Ye Zhiqing.

The experience of riding a horse last time was not pleasant, Ye Zhiqing took a step back subconsciously, "Your Majesty, I can walk back by myself."

Ye Zhiqing didn't notice at all that after she said these words, the royal guards who followed behind the two showed unconcealable expressions of astonishment, which even overshadowed the original contempt for Ye Zhiqing.

No one has ever dared to disrespect Pharaoh.

When the brows were raised, there was a flash of sharpness, and Ittis tightened the reins, "I'll say it again, get on the horse."

The soft sigh dissipated soundlessly in the swaying firelight, Ye Zhiqing stretched out his hand, raised and lowered, and clasped both hands.

As soon as he touched Ye Zhiqing's cold palm, Etis's amber pupils condensed slightly, just like last time, he pulled the man onto the horse, but his movements were much gentler.

The sound of horseshoes sounded again, but it was much smoother and gentler, so that the horsemen would not feel the bumps.

There was a burst of warmth from behind, and as soon as I got on the horse, Itis embraced her with a cloak, and the hands that bound her waist were flexible and strong, so that Ye Zhiqing could only lean tightly into Itis' arms.

The flowing warmth gradually dispelled the cold in the body, and the limbs gradually warmed up. The black hair swept gently on Ye Zhiqing's cheeks with the wind, arousing an unbearable itchiness.

Exuding arrogance and exclusiveness.

Ye Zhiqing straightened his back stiffly, the buildings on both sides became more and more sparse, and his vision became wider and wider. This is not the route back to the courtyard.

"Your Majesty Edith, where are we going?"

"To shut up."

Feeling the body temperature of the person in his arms gradually warming up, Ittis speeded up and ran out of the city.

The faint sound of the waves penetrates the eardrums, the bright stars are reflected in the dark blue water surface, and the cold moonlight gently soothes the ups and downs.

Unexpectedly, there is such a charming scenery outside the city of Tanis, which is full of yellow sand.

"It's so beautiful," Ye Zhiqing praised without hesitation.

Its lips curled up, and she dismounted first, and walked towards the dreamy and charming water. The robe was set in a very small arc, calm and elegant.

The two stood still on the bank of the water, their backs under the clear starlight were surprisingly warm and harmonious.

"Ye Zhiqing, why didn't you go back so late," Itis said in an understatement, her expression didn't change at all, she was still looking at this charming water.
