Pharaoh and her queen

When Ye Zhiqing walked to the entrance of the dungeon, there were sergeants armed with weapons all the way, as if they wanted to tightly surround the Thebes palace inside and outside, and there was a dull and tense atmosphere everywhere.

I have been sleeping with Itsis for the past few days, but Ye Zhiqing always wakes up in the morning, but there is no sign of Itsis. Every time I ask the female officer, Itis is either in the chamber or in the dungeon.

All the forces infiltrating the palace of Thebes were more or less affected by the assassination of Ye Zhiqing, and all those who had any connection with the pharmacy were arrested.

Seeing that it was Ye Zhiqing, the guard at the gate of the dungeon let him in without stopping him.

Before he reached the end, he heard a shrill scream, and the smell of burnt and blood mixed together in the air, Ye Zhiqing frowned uncomfortably.

Walking to the corner, a hysterical wail pierced the eardrums, and before seeing what was going on, he bumped into Itsis who just came out.

Half blocking Ye Zhiqing's line of sight, Etis quickly led him out of the dungeon.

"Why did you come to the dungeon so recklessly, where are the royal guards?" Ittis pulled Ye Zhiqing into a well-lit stone pavilion in the distance with a straight posture, let go of her hand, and looked down at her.

Its's eyes seemed to penetrate the writing with still transparent and bright light, smudged with warmth, and the drooping curly hair covered Ye Zhiqing's red ear tips.

With a light cough, Ye Zhiqing looked away a little stiffly, "Everywhere in the palace is heavily guarded, and it's only a few steps away from here, so I didn't let them follow."

From outsiders' point of view, Ye Zhiqing was always a prisoner of war by the enemy, and Itis' bedside attendant, followed by the royal guards who rushed to the dungeon to look for her, after all, it was not good.

Hearing this, the unpredictable breath around Ittis dissipated, and he took Itsis's hand and sat on the stone chair in the pavilion, "The matter of the pharmacy is a lesson, you know, you can't do it all the time when you are by my side. main idea."

Suddenly, the reprimanding attitude of the elders to the younger ones is extremely inconsistent with Ittis' majestic and cold appearance, no matter how he looks at it, he feels awkward.

Pfft~ Ye Zhiqing couldn't help laughing, and took the initiative to move close to the creases on Edith's eyebrows, "Your Majesty, I remember."

With a soft and charming tone, and the warm and sweet fragrance that leaned forward proactively, Ittis raised her eyebrows calmly, hiding the smile in her eyes, and said in a steady voice, "What do you want me to do?"

In the past few days, Ye Zhiqing took the pharmacist brought by Xitu to search all the pharmacies in the palace, and removed the poppy shells piled up in the corners, but found nothing abnormal, so Ye Zhiqing was very anxious.

What exactly is the location substance that has accumulated in Ittis' body for more than ten years? It's like a heavy ax that hangs on Ye Zhiqing's head all the time, and it doesn't know when it will fall.

Under Ye Zhiqing's repeated coercion and temptation, the pharmacist did not let go, and finally the pharmacist was willing to let go when Ye Zhiqing moved out of the royal guard and threatened his life.

The system of Itis different from ordinary people is maintained by taking medicine for a long time, and now it seems that it has no effect on Itis, but once the medicine is stopped or continued to be used, the consequences are not what they can expect, but According to previous medical history records, there have been people in the same situation as Ittis, and all of them were dead or crazy.

Ye Zhiqing didn't dare to imagine that such an ending would happen to Edith, so he suppressed his brisk smile and asked in a deep voice, "His Majesty Edith, do you know what is added to the medicine?"

The quiet air suddenly trembled, Etis looked away calmly, shook his head with a smile, and replied helplessly, "I know."

Sure enough, Ye Zhiqing looked at the hands of the two tightly clasped together and remained silent. Its had already noticed something strange in the pharmacy two years ago, and Ye Zhiqing originally thought that the reason for Its to pretend to be unaware was because she didn't know What the hell did they do.

But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, Etis hasn't stopped taking the medicine for the past two years. If it wasn't for his unintentional alarm this time, he still doesn't know how long it would last.

It could only be that Itis already knew what was wrong with the medicine, but there was no way to solve it. It could even be said that Itis couldn't do without these medicines.

These medicines can bring her a powerful system different from ordinary people, and these are exactly what she needs now.

Ye Zhiqing heaved a long sigh of relief when he thought that Etis did not show the symptoms of being intoxicated by morphine.

Instead, he asked, "Your Majesty Edith, you should tell me what was added to the medicine, and you should not continue taking medicine now."

With the familiar calm appearance, Etis could feel the anxiety under Ye Zhiqing's calm appearance, her pupils gradually shrunk, she pulled him into her arms, and stroked Ye Zhiqing's back, "Zhiqing, I will try my best to keep myself safe. "

"Itis...Your Majesty," Ye Zhiqing was at a loss for words. The gold on Ittis's crown was as bright as ever, leaning obediently on Ittis' arms. The price to be paid for this has never been anyone else's beak.

Neither can she.

After Itis accompanied Ye Zhiqing back to the inner hall of Ari Palace, he turned around and went to the meeting hall without saying anything. Ye Zhiqing stood in front of the hall and did not turn and enter the hall until Itis's back disappeared from sight. .

A few days ago, considering Ittis' injury and the sudden and complicated political affairs, Ye Zhiqing simply stayed in Ari Palace.

Ye Zhiqing can browse through the documents on the table at will. Most of the reports are about the still rising water level of the Nile and the large-scale water conservancy project that Itis has already started to prepare outside the city of Thebes. The next day will only be busier.

Egypt and Hittite signed the "Kadesh Peace Treaty" two days ago, and the Hittite mission will leave for half a month and return to Hittite. Fortunately, the war on the China Sea border has officially come to an end.

I don't know what conditions Ittis used to get Hittite to let go of several other important ports.

Fingertips traced the bright sunlight along the rough window edge, Ye Zhiqing looked at the scenery outside the window absent-mindedly.

As if thinking of something, he turned his head and looked at the female officers who had been waiting by the side, "Have you prepared everything you want?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Ye Zhiqing was rarely in high spirits, swept away the dullness before, turned around and walked towards the side hall hidden in the woods, not forgetting to tell them to keep it a secret and not let Edith know about it.

The female officer left behind looked at each other, what Miss Ye wanted was too strange, the luxurious robes and jewelry prepared by the Pharaoh had never been seen directly, why did she just...

Watching Ye Zhiqing leave with strange eyes.

***

In the solemn and majestic chamber.

"My lord, once the construction of the Tiber River outside the city of Thebes starts, it will definitely affect the entire Thebes aqueduct system, and at that time the entire Nile waterway will be implicated, and the current national treasury surplus cannot support the reconstruction of the Nile River waterway at all. "

Standing in the middle of the hall and talking was Momoa, a close minister next to Itis, who was in charge of the treasury.

Before the voice fell, the chief construction officer with gray hair and beard also stood up and spoke, "Wang, although the reconstruction of the Tiber River has long been planned, if the actual construction is not guaranteed financially, no one can predict the possible consequences. arrive."

His slender fingers turned over the paperwork on the table, and Ittis never raised his head. His long, drooping hair exuded a calm and determined breath through the faint light and shadow, "When will the ports to the northeast of Nusya resume business?" transport?"

In the "Kadesh Peace Treaty" signed between Egypt and Hittite, Hittite assigned those commercial ports to Egypt. Now it only needs Egypt to accept it in the past, and normal business can start after the normal order is restored.

Those ports are adjacent to the Bazhu Strait, which connects the far east. Once the trade is opened, there will be a steady flow of gold, ivory, precious stones, olives...

This will be a huge income for Egypt.

"Wang, it will be three months at the earliest."

Itis's knuckles tapped irregularly on the table. The water condition of the Nile River was imminent, and various appeasement measures were being implemented. The cost of property was also huge, but it could not fundamentally solve the problem.

Three months, three months...

Its stared at the clear alabaster pattern on the table and said nothing, and the huge meeting room was instantly covered in silence.
