Pharaoh and her queen

Temple of Karnak.

The majestic and spacious main hall is crowded with people, and people keep coming to worship and pray, asking the sun god to continue to bless him in the new year.

And in the dark corridor where the sun can't reach, there was a messy conversation, as if it was Kabu and Xin Noussey's group.

Kabu was emotional, and his voice echoed throughout the passage, "None of the killers sent out came back, and Itis also completed the entire sacrifice safely, and now the palace is heavily guarded, and we can't hear any news. "

Standing on one side, Rockel and Xin Nousse looked at each other knowingly, maintaining an unusual composure. The corridors connecting the various god statues used special construction structures and stone materials, so there was no need to worry about being heard by others.

"If Itis is really safe and sound, it is absolutely impossible to seal off the palace and not allow anyone to enter or leave," Rockel looked gloomy looking at the worshiping crowd through the hole in the wall.

"But now we don't know anything. Whether those killers are still alive or not, you have to know that it will be a matter of time to find out with the help of Etis." How reckless this assassination was, if they failed, they would have no way out.

"Is there still no news from Priest Karnak?" Kabu asked suddenly.

"No, Priest Karnak has disappeared since he came back from the Lingling Temple. I have visited his mansion several times, but none of them are in the mansion," Rockel said calmly when he heard the mention of Priest Karnak He took a step back into the darkness and replied in a low voice.

All three of them fell silent for a while, and panic grew in the dark corridor.

That night, a few people wrapped tightly in black robes rode fast horses out of the city overnight, disappearing into the endless thick night.

Early the next morning, Ittis appeared in the meeting room on time, her lips were slightly pale, and there was nothing unusual about the rest.

It's just that the atmosphere in the meeting hall is extremely dull. As before, all the complaints are about the water level of the Nile River. The flood gradually submerges the cultivated land on both sides, and more and more refugees are pouring towards Thebes.

His knuckles tapped the table regularly, and Etis looked at the officials with different expressions below, with a cold look in his eyes that no one could see.

"Why didn't Priest Kabu come?" Edith pretended to be casual and asked casually, but her sharp eyes swept straight to the right, as if everything was invisible in her eyes.

Kabu's position in the temple is second only to the great priest, and the priests stand on the right side in an orderly manner. It is clear at a glance who is vacant.

"Your Majesty, since the end of the sacrifice, I haven't seen Priest Kabu again."

It was Xin Nusay who was standing on the right side of Kabu's position, and Itis glanced at him lightly, but didn't speak, and turned to look at other people. After I came back, I never saw Priest Kabu again.

Quietly waiting for them to finish speaking, Etis shifted his gaze to Kanak who was standing in the front but kept silent. His condensed face eased a little, and a rare smile appeared on his face, which didn't reach his eyes.

"Prince Karnak, Priest Kabu is the first priest in your hands,"

Edith didn't finish the rest of the sentence, leaning on the soft pillow, waiting for Kanak's answer.

"Your Majesty, I have been busy offering sacrifices on the Nile River for a while, and I haven't seen Priest Kabu for half a month." While picking himself off, Kanak's benevolent expression was just right mixed with a few strands of worry.

Itis maintained a smile, pretending to be concerned and asked General Xitu to send his men to search for Priest Kabu. Sen Leng, who was hiding under the smile, was unnoticed.

It's just that the people involved naturally know whether it is a search or a hunt.

Etis did a good job of keeping it secret, and Kanak lowered his head to hide the viciousness in his eyes. If he didn't know about the assassination, he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.

No matter what Edith's secret purpose was, he had already prepared it.

Then there were those issues that were mentioned repeatedly but were not properly dealt with. After letting them argue, Edith waved them to back down.

Accompanied by the sound of orderly footsteps, the hall returned to its original tranquility.

Edith breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned her whole body against the soft pillow behind her, fine beads of sweat quickly gushed out from her forehead, and there was nothing to hide under the bright light.

"Your Majesty, Princess Manefetti asks to see you," said the female officer who served Edith closely.

Slowly rectifying her sitting posture, Edith wiped the sweat off her forehead, "Let her in," said a deep voice revealing fatigue and weakness that could not be concealed.

As soon as Manefetti entered the palace gate, she pointed out her intention directly, "Your Majesty Itis, I believe you must thoroughly find out who else is hiding in the dark in Thebes, waiting for an opportunity to harbor evil intentions."

Always with a gentle smile just right, Manefetti stood frankly in the center of the hall, allowing Edith to look at her, her expression unchanged from the beginning to the end.

Pushing the document aside, Ittis rested her hands on the table, her eyes darkened, "Your purpose?"

"Your Majesty Edith, I want to ask you for someone"

"Who"

"General Hirsch."

"reason?"

"It's the same as His Majesty treats Miss Ye."

"It was you five years ago," Edith straightened her posture suddenly, she put away the laziness around her, and looked straight at Maneferti with her sharp eyes.

Five years ago, Hirsch was sluggish for a long period of time, behaved abnormally, and asked Ittis to resign many times. Shi Du, the relationship between the two is very close, apart from the relationship between the king and the minister, they are more like sisters.

Whether in public or private, Edith would not agree to Hirsch's ridiculous request. Later, under the pressure of Edith, Hirsch gave a rough outline of her and Manefetti's affairs, but about Hexi did not mention Manefetti's identity.

At that time, Edith only thought that Hirsch was hurt by love, and didn't think about digging into the identity of the woman she said. Now that I think about it, there are too many abnormalities.

And if that person is Maneferti, then all the anomalies can be explained in the most reasonable way.

Somewhat surprised that Edith would mention five years ago, the smile on Manefetti's face froze for a moment, "Yes."

Edith stroked the thin calluses on her fingertips, and her sitting posture on the sideways was unabashedly ironic, "Maneferti, you really underestimated me, those people will be caught by me sooner or later, and Hirsch himself Since he was born, he was destined to be the general of Egypt."

Manefetti didn't hold back her smile because of Edith's ridicule, and slowly took out a slender letter box and handed it to the female officer at the side. The body of the letter box was made of pure gold, and there was a fiery red cobra at the bottom of the letter box. pattern, and the seal is the pattern of the Eye of Horus.

This is a post box that was only used by the Egyptian pharaohs.

"Your Majesty Itis, I believe that Egypt is more important to you than a general. Hittite's truce with Egypt does not mean that other countries have a truce with Egypt. You should not slack off,"

Manefetti couldn't fathom what Ittis was thinking, so after thinking for a while, she took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, there is still room for revision of the treaty between Hittite and Egypt."

Speaking of this, Manefetti's intentions are self-evident.

Itsis finished reading the letter in the mailbox and put it aside, "Princess, after the peace treaty is officially signed, you can visit Thebes before returning to Hittite." .

Manefetti left without haste. The terms she offered were so tempting that Edith couldn't help being tempted.

The huge circular stone pillars on both sides of the hall extend upwards into the towering dome, and the light gathers from the gemstones on the top and refracts on the exquisite relief carved on the huge stone pillars.

The relief depicts that Pharaoh is the son of the sun god. He has accepted the protection of God since he was born. Together with her subjects and brothers, he smashed the invaders and traitors one by one, and built Egypt into a world that is proud of all directions. great empire.

Under the scattered lights and shadows, the reliefs on the stone pillars seemed to be shaking faintly, a real sense of illusion, and seeing the letterbox on the table, Edith felt extremely ironic.

Itis, who was immersed in her own thoughts, obviously didn't notice Ye Zhiqing who came quietly.

Its sat motionless, fine beads of sweat gradually gathered, trickled down her cheeks, obviously because of the discomfort of the injury.

Ye Zhiqing put down the things in his hands, and reminded softly, "Your Majesty, it's time to change the medicine."

What worried Ye Zhiqing the most happened last night. Itis suddenly developed a fever in the middle of the night, and every part of his body felt like boiling water. down.

But what made Ye Zhiqing even more astonished was that after the temperature dropped, Ittis woke up. After a simple wash, he went straight to the meeting hall without saying a word, and Ye Zhiqing couldn't stop him.

The powerful system of Etis is too weird, everything will be reversed at the extreme, and it will be easily broken if it is too strong. This is definitely not a good thing.

Ye Zhiqing had no choice but to calculate the time, took the medicine and went to Arui Palace, not sure when Itsis would return to Kongsi Palace, but After she woke up and changed her medicine, she was only willing to let Ye Zhiqing get close.

Seeing that Ye Zhiqing was coming, Ittis's stiff body posture obviously relaxed, and she closed her eyes and leaned on the soft pillow cooperatively, apparently in a posture of letting Ye Zhiqing do whatever she wanted.

The female officials in the hall had long been dismissed by Ye Zhiqing, and there were only two people left in the huge meeting hall.

Ye Zhiqing moved gently, and carefully took off the robe on Itsis's body. The ferocious arrow wound cut off the thin and straight beautiful collarbone. Looking intently, the arrow wound on Itsis in Tanis was faintly There is also a tendency to worsen.

The suspicion and uneasiness in his heart expanded, Ye Zhiqing cleaned the wound with ease, applied the medicine, tied the robe loosely, and brought the steaming soup to the side, "Your Majesty, drink the medicine."

Its, who was lying on the soft pillow, did not respond. Ye Zhiqing's heart tightened, he put down the medicine bowl, bent his head and hung it next to Its's ear, "Your Majesty Its..."

Edith still didn't respond, feeling anxious, Ye Zhiqing stretched out his hand to check the temperature on Edith's forehead, and there was nothing abnormal.

He got up and wanted to find the priest of medicine, but suddenly there was a familiar pulling force from his waist, following this force, Ye Zhiqing fell on the throne of Itsis.

Raising his eyes, the deep and mysterious golden pupils were staring at him intently. Ye Zhiqing opened his lips slightly, but did not make any sound. He wanted to step back dully, but was forced to move forward by the hand on his waist.

The bodies of the two are getting closer and closer.

The lingering affection in Ittis' eyes poured out and quickly entangled Ye Zhiqing. It may be because of the injury that Ittis' usual coldness disappeared, and his eyes were the most brilliant golden.

Mysterious, magnificent, and involuntarily addicted to it.

Forcing himself to ignore the abnormality of Itsis, Ye Zhiqing moved his eyes to the skirt of Ittis's clothes, and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for you to drink the medicine."

The weak laughter couldn't conceal the joy in it, Itis reached out and clamped Ye Zhiqing's chin, and lifted it up, forcing Ye Zhiqing to look at her.

With a short distance away, the warm and ambiguous atmosphere circulates in the beautiful water waves, the breaths of the noses touch each other, and the breathing gradually sinks and accelerates.

"Zhiqing, stay by my side and be my queen," said the low tone with tenderness that made people's hearts sway.

Ye Qingming stared at Ittis in a daze, her slightly parted lips were gleaming with water.

Before Ye Zhiqing could answer, Etis lowered her head and covered her, moved her hand to the back of Ye Zhiqing's head, and pressed it lightly.

Different from the roughness last time, Itsis kissed very lightly and softly, biting Ye Zhiqing's lips lightly, poking in gently, slowly grabbing every inch of Ye Zhiqing's sweetness.

Ye Zhiqing rested his hands on Ittis' shoulders, and a layer of light pink gradually appeared on his fair skin.
