Pharaoh and her queen

In the afternoon of the next day, Etis sent people to the port of Amenem and was about to leave, but Ye Zhiqing held on to the lapel of his robe and did not let go.

The night before, Itsis received the information, even though Ittis didn't show any sense of urgency on his face, Ye Zhiqing felt that the situation was getting worse.

The two faced each other silently at the door of the room, Etis's eyes fell on Ye Zhiqing's face, and the bottom of the seemingly calm eyes rolled with shocking waves, as if they were about to condense into real tenderness in the air, Ye Zhiqing was tightly wrapped .

The arrogance of the Egyptian queens in the past can no longer be found in front of Ye Zhiqing.

Light wheat-colored skin, deep and three-dimensional facial features, extremely soft but also extremely arrogant black long hair... Ye Zhiqing sketched the current appearance of Etis in the bottom of his eyes again and again, almost greedily.

"Your Majesty Itis, Priest Soor is with me in Amnet, are you not afraid that he will kidnap me again?" With a slight tone of voice, Ye Zhiqing took two steps forward, raised his eyes, and looked up. The lips of Etis so close.

A very shallow arc shakes down in the bright sunlight not far away, and shakes down in the river wind.

It's pampering, pampering, and helplessness, Its eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her hand to pin the broken hair blown by the river wind behind her ears, "You know, I won't let such a thing happen again Second-rate."

At a loss for words, both of them actually knew well that it was impossible for them to be defenseless against Soor.

"I want to go to the epidemic area with you."

"No."

"Your Majesty Edith, I know what this disease is and how to prevent it. It is in your best interest to bring me along."

"No."

Its tone was sullen and determined, and she turned her eyes to the river outside the cabin, and rejected Ye Zhiqing irrefutably.

"Your Majesty Edith, I don't need your permission to go anywhere," Ye Zhiqing was slightly annoyed, blurting out words that seemed more like anger.

peng~~ With a loud bang, the door was slammed shut.

"I told you, you're not allowed to go." He firmly grasped the wrist of the person in front of him, dragged him over and pressed him behind the door, Etis turned a blind eye to Ye Zhiqing's pained expression.

The golden pupil seems to be covered with a shocking shadow.

"I'll say it again, you're not allowed to go," Etis's attitude didn't soften in the slightest, repeating the compelling tone just now.

Faced with Ye Zhiqing's repeated disobedience, Etis obviously lost his patience.

Strong dissatisfaction and a bit of violence permeated the room between the two.

"Your Majesty Edith, this disease is very likely to be a disease called malaria. Once infected, there is basically no cure..." Ye Zhiqing's attitude was equally firm, and his aura did not weaken the slightest during the confrontation .

"I know," Edith interrupted Ye Zhiqing rudely and impatiently, lowered his head, and kissed him long and full of complex emotions.

"I know, I know everything, Zhiqing, don't disobey me again, you stay in Amenem, and complete the surveying and mapping as soon as possible, so that all my plans can be realized," the non-intense gasps echoed in the ears of the two By the time, Edith's rapid voice had already softened significantly.

Ye Zhiqing stared quietly at the person in front of her. Her lover, the monarch of the Egyptian Empire, the fate of Egypt and even the fate of Itsis had never been something she could wish to interfere with.

Smiling in relief, and even more helpless, Ye Zhiqing pushed Edith away, opened the door and walked out.

Looking at the back of Ye Zhiqing's leaving, Etis looked calm, and the wind with moist water vapor passed by, as if everything had never happened.

The golden crow in the sky gradually sank westward, and the night gradually took away the bright light that belonged to the day.

On the deck, a figure stood up straight like a knife chiseled with an axe, facing the direction of the cabin on the right side, standing quietly without saying a word.

Suddenly, a black shadow fell behind her, "King, everything is ready and we can go."

"Let's go," commanded without emotion, and Etis turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, the cabin door that had been silent all this time was suddenly opened.

"Don't go,"

In an instant, Etis stopped all movements, like a stone statue, standing in place, neither speaking nor making any movements.

Ye Zhiqing stood where he was, and refused to go forward. Once outside the cabin, his warm body quickly cooled down, and his limbs were cold.

After a long time, the helpless sigh dissipated in the night, took off the robe on his body, and carefully wrapped the person in front of him into the robe, "Now are you willing to come out?"

Realizing his recklessness, the narrow expression on Ye Zhiqing's face disappeared, and he quickly regained his composure, "General Saar has already gone to prepare, you wait first."

There are many types of malaria, and the one with such high infectivity and fatality rate is only Plasmodium falciparum, and Egypt's harsh climate and poor medical conditions exacerbated the severity of this disease.

The most direct source of infection is mosquito bites. If you look deeper, you must have water mosquitoes to reproduce.

Ye Zhiqing repeatedly emphasized the issue of Etis's own protection, focusing on unclean water sources and protection from mosquitoes.

Etis smiled and listened to Ye Zhiqing talking back and forth several times, without interruption or impatience.

She had concluded a long time ago that countless gold and gemstones were not comparable to her.

Thrall, who came late, looked at the situation and stood aside consciously. He hastily ordered a linen robe to wrap his whole body in it, spices and water bags for repelling mosquitoes, and stuffed everything to the brim. warehouse.

Saar is the only general who followed Ittis on this trip. The position of the troops in Thebes is always being watched by people. This time, Ittis will plan to escape from Thebes. The only army he can deploy is this branch.

And the next Itis's itinerary can be said to be full of real dangers. Ye Zhiqing suddenly stopped talking, wanting to say something, but suddenly found that there was nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, you must come back safely. I will wait for you in Thebes."

"it is good."

Very solemn, mutual promise, the two looked at each other and smiled, that is, parting.

The sweetness and sourness are intertwined, and it is only now that Its knows what it feels like to be cared about by others. It is like an addictive drug that can easily drive away the emptiness in my heart.

***

Hittite King City.

Namer grew faster than anyone expected, except for Manefti.

The young man in the courtyard was facing piles of documents, and they were processing them in an orderly manner according to their priorities. The tutor, High Priest Bogut, who was sitting by the side, closed his eyes leisurely.

Namer's understanding and Manneferti's laissez-faire attitude allowed Namer to grow rapidly.

Bogut knew the man was watching them not far away, like every time during this time.

The lowered eyes inadvertently revealed a bit of self-deprecation. Princess Manefuti, he seemed to have never understood her from the beginning, and he had always been unaware of her self-righteousness.

During this time, Manneferti began to try to hand over Hittite's government affairs to Namer. With Bogut watching, Manneferti was not worried about what might go wrong.

She was dressed in a plain white dress, lying on a rocking chair, no rouge was applied, and she was still elegant and glamorous.

Manefti was holding two documents in her hand and handing them to Hirsch who was standing beside him with a blank expression. One was about the Hittites who were dispatching troops to the coast of the Middle Sea at the junction with Egypt, and the other was about the recent Assyrian invasion. A flurry of action on the Egyptian border.

This time, Etis seemed to be hanging on countless sharp knives, as long as there was a wrong step, it would be dead.

Hirsch obviously didn't expect things to come to this point, and Manefuti could clearly see the shock, suspicion, bewilderment and self-blame on Hirsch's face.

Manefuti is very clear that it is not a long-term solution to tie Hirsch by her side in this way, but she must leave enough time for Namer to grow up.

Seemingly relieved, Manneferti slightly parted her red lips, "The latest information is that Itis was assassinated in the Karnak Temple. So far, her whereabouts are unknown, and she is suspected of being seriously injured and died."

Hirsch stood on one side, clenched her fists, her expression was unclear, she quietly looked at Maniferti without saying a word.

Under Hexi's scorching gaze, Manneferti was in a trance for a moment, and quickly reacted, and then said, "Will you believe it? That arrogant woman would fall into such a despicable means, it's ridiculous Ridiculous."

"Your Majesty Edith will be fine," Hirsch looked at Manefuti with a complicated expression.

During this period of time, the two were together all the time, no matter what happened, Manefuti did not shy away from Hirsch's side.

The monarch of a country spends all day making plans for Heti, big and small, and it is common for him to review documents all night. The only time he can count his leisure is to come here to see Namer's study situation.

Hirsch stood aside and looked at her, watching her calmly and gracefully deal with various forces, watching her appear in front of everyone with a radiant spirit after sleepless nights, watching her bear the destiny of this country bit by bit .

During this time, Manneferti often mentioned their past events, she likes to be in business, but she is good at martial arts.

During those days in Thebes, the future planner was sincere.

It's impossible for Hirsch not to loosen her heart, but the closer she is to Manefuti, the more clearly she can see the gap between the two.

Hirsch asked herself more than once during this period, what choice would she make if she were Manefuti at that time.

In fact, I already have the answer in my heart.

To the country, she was unfaithful, to Manefti, she could not fulfill it.

I don’t remember how many years I was trapped between yes and no, unable to fulfill.

Manefuti looked at the unpredictable Hexi, and stretched out her hand, and the warm warmth instantly wrapped her cold fingertips, a temperature that made people yearn for. "

Hirsch did not reject Manefti's actions.

"Hersh, you are no longer a general. If one day, I am not Princess Hittite, would you be willing..." Everything was said without saying anything. staggered.

"Princess, I..."

"Don't say anything else, you just need to tell me, are you willing or not?"

Manneferti was lying on the rocking chair, while Hirsch half-kneeled and half-pressed on Manneferti's body, her fingertips as white as jade touched Hexi's lips lightly.

The slightly cool temperature seemed to carry a fire, trying to burn himself through, Hirsch swallowed subconsciously, and was about to back away.

The hand that fell on Hirsch's belt at the right time successfully stopped Hirsch's movement, "General Hirsch, you haven't answered my question yet."

The eyes of the people below him are full of amorous feelings everywhere, looking up and looking up, they are all seductive, like a fallen god who wants to tempt people to commit crimes.

The light and shadow outside the window moved, and the two maintained this posture for a long time, and finally ended in Hirsch's "OK".

"Hahahaha~" Manneferti laughed briskly as she watched Hirsch leaving in a hurry, she hadn't been this happy for a long time.

After the laughter, there was silence in the hall, and the joy of regaining the loss quickly filled Man Neferti's heart, and the transparent tears fell silently.

Manefuti sat alone in the hall for a long time, and did not come back to her senses until Bogut came to see her.

"your Highness,"

"High Priest Bogut, the lecture has been completed recently, is there anything else?"

"Your Highness, according to Prince Namer's understanding, this stage of study will soon be over. The next stage of study is arranged by you, and the knowledge I can teach stops here."

Manneferti smiled, she knew exactly what Bogut meant. The family behind Bogut was a staunch supporter of Namer from the beginning. During the turmoil, they showed their neutral attitude to the group of old nobles. For Namer.

Answering the wrong question, Manneferti chuckled and said, "Does High Priest Bogut think Namer can secure Heti's throne?"
