Pharaoh and her queen

The sky was dimly lit, and the number of people looking for the river on both sides of the palace did not increase but decreased. The torches in their hands were gradually extinguished, and there was still no movement under the calm river.

Its was standing by the river, trying to walk down the stone steps, but his body shook uncontrollably.

The lines of the facial features became more and more cold and hard, and the amber golden eyes lost their golden luster, turning gray, like a dark abyss.

The violent aura around him gradually disappeared with the passage of time, and turned into an untouchable coldness, "Ye Zhiqing."

The hoarse voice fell on the calm lake, swirling with the breeze.

"Your Majesty Its..." With an extremely weak shout, Its' heart skipped a beat, and when he listened intently again, only the sound of the wind remained.

Hallucinations?

Edith frowned tightly, took a few steps forward, and put her hands on the stone railing, "Your Majesty Edith, I'm here..."

The voice was still very weak, but it pointed out the direction to Its. The voice came from under his feet, and Its yelled down a few times, calling the guards who were searching elsewhere to go into the water to have a look.

The slightly wrinkled fingers soaked in water climbed up the outer stone wall, and Ye Zhiqing slowly moved his stiff body to the outside of the culvert.

I can't tell how long I have been hiding in the dark cave, and I seem to hear Itis' voice in a trance, Ye Zhiqing tentatively responded, unable to control himself, warm streams welled up in his eyes.

As soon as the faint light came into his eyes, Ye Zhiqing closed his eyes uncomfortably, and as soon as his body moved to the outside of the walls on both sides of the river, a slow but powerful huge water flowed in instantly, clung to the protrusions on the outer stone walls weakly, Weak and weak, it seems that the next moment will be washed away by the current.

Its stood on the embankment of the river, his heart was suspended high, and the blood that started to flow quickly rushed to his head again, and he felt dizzy suddenly. He supported the stone railing and barely stood up, "Quick, go straight into the water and pull people up." Boat."

The indifferent tone lost the usual indifference, and he couldn't hide the panic and panic.

The linen gown was soaked in water overnight, and it was wetly attached to Ye Zhiqing's body. The lips that should have been properly shaded were now pale.

As soon as she landed on the shore, there was a real feeling of stepping on the ground under her feet, Ye Zhiqing became a little more awake, and Etis stood not far away and stared at her quietly, with the warmth and tenderness in her eyes that she was all too familiar with.

A stream of warmth surged from the bottom of my heart to my limbs and bones, quickly wrapping my body after soaking in cold water all night.

A tempting temperature.

Ye Zhiqing took the lead to take a step towards Ittis, slowly but firmly, walked in front of Ittis, and opened his arms actively.

The golden eyes mixed with countless complex emotions trembled for a moment, and the sigh lingered in the slightly cold air, dissipating into nothing. Its gently pulled the person in front of him into his arms, slowly tightened them, and pressed them tightly, Until both of them were out of breath.

"Knowledge,"

"Your Majesty Edith, I am here,"

The two hugged each other tightly like no one else was there, and it took some time before both of them came to their senses.

Ye Zhiqing was surprised to find that Ittis' body temperature was lower than his own. After soaking in the water all night, his body began to warm up gradually after landing, but Ittis' body was like a stone that could not be covered with heat, icy cold to the bone. .

Ye Zhiqing stretched out his hand to hold Ittis's hands, feeling worried all of a sudden.

After calming down, Ye Zhiqing seemed to be able to feel the slight trembling of Etis' body.

"His Majesty,"

Etis shook her head lightly, took the initiative to shake Ye Zhiqing's hand, and led her to the horse. After a long pause, she jumped on the horse.

An inexplicable pain welled up in his heart, even though his condensed expression concealed Edith's heavy fatigue, the black and blue under his eyes couldn't be concealed no matter what.

Etis sat on the horse, looked down at Ye Zhiqing with her hands down, her eyes were warm and powerful, the moment her hands folded, Ye Zhiqing was in a daze, with a distant and familiar sense of belonging.

Even though the embrace behind her is cold, there is an irreplaceable sense of security and belonging in my heart.

"Your Majesty Edith,"

"Um,"

Everything is silent.

Its went back to ride very slowly, and occasionally Ye Zhiqing could still feel chest tremors coming from behind, usually at this time Its would tremble a little to suppress all the discomfort in his body.

Ye Zhiqing only dared to lean on Ittis vainly, cooperating with Ittis to prevent others from noticing the strangeness.

Swaying all the way, the sound of orderly armor rubbing behind him stopped outside Ari Palace.

Edith's female officer and Lan Masu had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, and Edith was whispering something to the royal guards behind him. Ye Zhiqing took advantage of this gap and hurriedly told Lan Masu to go down to prepare.

Before he finished speaking, there was a pulling force from his hand, and Etis led Ye Zhiqing straight to the bathing hall.

As soon as he entered the gate of the palace, the water mist lingered, and the warm breath rushed towards his face, it seemed that he had been prepared for a long time.

Ye Zhiqing obediently followed Ittis to the bathing pool, and said softly, "Your Majesty, take a bath first."

Hearing this, Edith raised her eyebrows slightly, without taking off her robe, she went directly into the water and lay sideways on the crescent-shaped marble platform protruding from the side of the bath.

Closing his eyes, he was obviously very tired.

The whole bathing hall is wrapped in steaming hot water mist. As soon as the hot mist comes in, the chill on Ye Zhiqing's body will be dispelled, and the limbs will gradually warm up. Feel.

Ye Zhiqing did not leave, and sat sideways on the edge of the bath, looking at Ittis quietly.

The condensed look in front of outsiders faded away, and a strong tiredness climbed up Ittis' brows and eyes, and the brows were still tightly knit, as if thinking about something.

Stretching out his hand out of nowhere, the warm fingertips gently covered the wrinkled brows of Itsis, gently stroking the wrinkles between Itsis' brows away.

Going around behind Ittis, the soft fingertips pressed on Ittis' temple, pressing lightly or heavily, and with Ye Zhiqing's movements, Edith's tense expression gradually relaxed.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Zhiqing felt a faint soreness in his wrist, stopped the massage, Ye Zhiqing glanced casually, and found that Edith opened his eyes at some point and was looking at her intently.

"Your Majesty Edith," under the slightly drunken heat, Ye Zhiqing's voice was tinged with a slightly drunken softness.

The soft and glutinous is very seductive, especially the cheeks are slightly reddish from the heat, and the eyes are full of water.

Etis smiled lightly, turned around and grasped Ye Zhiqing's wrist, and pulled Ye Zhiqing out of the bath with gentle movements that could not be refused.

Holding the person beside her, Ittis began to unbutton her robe calmly.

There are flocculent light-colored herbs floating on the water, which can barely cover the underwater part of the two of them. Ye Zhiqing didn't realize it until he entered the water.

The water-soaked robe was thrown onto the bank by Its from the pool, and the straight and delicate collarbone was hidden in the long wet hair. Even there was a hideous scar on the right side, under the tight and graceful figure , It is also difficult to conceal the charm of subtle circulation.

And under the collarbone, there are beautiful ups and downs, half hidden in the water, looming.

Ye Zhiqing's throat rolled down, and he looked away guiltily. The tingling heat climbed up from the tailbone to the spine, and then flowed through the whole body along the flesh and blood. The crystal sweat gush out from the texture of the skin, giving the silence now The scene in this scene is silently coated with a layer of gorgeous color.

A chuckle escaped from the throat, "Why, you still don't take it off, do you want me to help you take it off?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhiqing glared at Ittis quickly, with a hazy look, more like a thin grin.

The blood in the whole body rushed to the cheeks, and Ye Zhiqing could clearly feel that the whole body was hot, especially the cheeks and the roots of the ears, which were extremely hot.

Etis stared at Ye Zhiqing silently while maintaining the movement of leaning back slightly, her eyes were deep and she seemed extremely patient.

Ye Zhiqing submerged himself in the water from the neck down, which was equivalent to taking off his robe with a half-push. He wanted to take the opportunity to put the clothes on the bank of the pool, and quietly distanced himself from Itsis.

Unexpectedly, Ittis moved over and hugged Ye Zhiqing in his arms. The touch of silky skin caused a strange tingling sensation.

Putting his hand on Ye Zhiqing's waist, Etis lowered his eyes, Ye Zhiqing looked like a crumpled up red shrimp, with a deep smile in his eyes.

Overwhelmed, engulfed in the rising water mist.

Turning his head stiffly, Ye Zhiqing coughed, trying to change the subject, "Your Majesty, I went to the pharmacy yesterday afternoon and found that your medicine has been tampered with."

Edith's expression didn't change much, and he replied under Ye Zhiqing's scorching gaze, "I know."

Lightning tore apart from the dark night, Ye Zhiqing's heart trembled, it seemed unbelievable, and he repeated dully, "You know, then..."

What he wanted to ask was blocked by Etis again. Etis squeezed the hand on Ye Zhiqing's side, and asked, "How did you escape yesterday?"

Ye Zhiqing hesitated for a while, and finally broke the jar, stretched out his constricted limbs, and leaned against Etis in a relaxed manner.

With a clear mind, Ye Zhiqing slowly explained the experience of yesterday afternoon calmly.

After being forced to separate from the royal guards behind her, Ye Zhiqing panicked and chose the widest palace road to run forward, but she ignored that if she could not get timely support, the wider the palace road, the less shelter she could escape. The chances are even smaller.

Forced into desperation, Ye Zhiqing had no choice but to jump into the river. If it fell into the hands of the assassin, it would be a dead end. From the very beginning, the fierce offensive was soaked with a strong killing intent, and jumping into the river, maybe he could get a better result. A silver lining.

The final result proved that Ye Zhiqing was not wrong in his bet.

Under the walls on both sides of the palace river, there are underground channels connected to other waterways in the palace. Ye Zhiqing entered the dark hole on the side of the wall by accident. There are also dark holes on both sides of the dark hole, and there is a certain space above for breathing. .

Ye Zhiqing hid inside, and the relatively closed environment amplified the sound of the water invisibly, covering the sound of the guards searching, and because it was night and the water situation was unclear, Ye Zhiqing did not dare to go out rashly.

Until the cry from Ittis.
