don't know
Chapter 8
The carriage stopped at an oasis in the desert to rest.
At sunset, the setting sun is like fire, and the endless desert seems to be burned, forming a sea of flames, which is breathtakingly beautiful. The camel caravan in the distance, under the sunlight, looks like a silhouette, like a dream.This is what Isis saw when she got off the carriage.
"Isn't it beautiful?" When I was fascinated by it, a deep male voice suddenly came from beside me.
"En." Isis didn't look back, and continued to immerse herself in the beautiful scenery bestowed by nature, squinting her eyes slightly, feeling a long-lost peace in her heart.
The life in Thebes made her almost out of breath, wearing a mask to face all kinds of people every day, thinking about the consequences of everything she did, and being cautious and frightened at every step.At only 15 years old, I feel that I have already experienced the vicissitudes of half my life.
But she has no right to escape, these are the responsibilities she, Isis, must bear as the future queen of Egypt.
As early as a few years ago, Memphis and she secretly planned and cultivated their own dark forces.In the assassination at the Luxor Temple, it was found that the main messenger was a branch of the royal family, but after the incident subsided, they secretly searched the man's house several times, and finally found a In the hidden secret compartment, a thick stack of letters was found, and the words were actually plotting to seize power.But what surprised the siblings was the page with the earliest date in it. Almost one-third of the palace was burned down in that scene. Everyone thought it was a natural disaster. The unexpected fire was actually man-made. Put to death the only heir to the throne of the royal family!He even secretly sterilized King Nipludo without leaving any room!The real mastermind behind all this is Imhodb!
It was as if a ladle of cold water had been poured on the top of his head.That man known as the 'wisdom of Egypt', that kind old man with a smile on weekdays, and that prime minister who was the mainstay of Egypt in the eyes of the Pharaoh, was actually a sanctimonious, ruthless hypocrite!
That night, the siblings lay on the roof of the dormitory, looking at the starry and clear night sky, without sleep all night.Although nothing changed on the surface in the following days, both of them knew in their hearts that everything had changed.If they hadn't read those letters, they could rely on their honorable status to act willfully and as they wished; but since God let them know of Imhodb's conspiracy, they must shoulder the responsibility of protecting the kingship.
Over the past few years, Isis's reputation has become more and more famous. She has a reputation for beauty, talent, and morality. She even became the youngest high priest in Egypt's history, which made more people focus on her.
Compared with Isis's high-profile, Memphis, the crown prince, looks bleak.The playful, domineering and willful prince spends all day hanging out with the sons of dandies and nobles, and when he returns to the palace, he instigates the guards to fight to entertain him.
All this is an illusion made to deceive the opponent!
Pushing Isis, who is a woman, to the bright side, and letting Memphis pretend to be an ignorant and spoiled prince.In contrast to the two, in the eyes of others, Isis is more suitable as the heir to the throne.But in the laws of the Egyptian royal family, regardless of Memphis's character, his status as the Pharaoh's heir is destined to be the undoubted first heir, with the right to inherit Upper Egypt and also the future supreme ruler of Egypt; Isis only has the right of succession to Lower Egypt.
The two intentionally 'unintentionally' let Imhodb know the troubles of their siblings: Isis is capable but not the first heir unwillingly, Memphis is jealous of his sister's talent...
This discovery made Imhodbu, who was heartbroken because of the failure of several assassination plans, couldn't help it. While using his image of an empathetic elder to enlighten the siblings, he made people stumble. the conflict between them.The prime minister, who thought he had succeeded in his scheme, happily enjoyed the scene of Memphis and Isis 'pretending' to be siblings in front of everyone every day, and when he returned home, he was delighted to listen to the spies report that the two ignored each other in private.Before he noticed his daughter's love for Memphis, he had a vague idea, but after receiving Isis's subtle overtures, this idea became clearer.
Originally, Imhodbu's plan was to directly kill the only two heirs, and King Niproduo, who had secretly sterilized him, would never have any new descendants.Then after the death of King Niprodo, as the most valued person of Pharaoh, he can take advantage of the chaos to seize power.But this is not justified after all, after all, the Egyptians pay the most attention to class and blood.
And there is an opportunity in front of him for him to achieve his goal openly: agreeing to cooperate with Isis and help her win more power to become queen in the future; Isis asks for benefits and helps Haldia, who has been in love with Memphis for a long time, become his princess.When Haldia gave birth to Memphis's child, let Memphis directly abdicate. Then, as the grandfather of Egypt's first heir, he can "delegate government affairs" as a matter of course.As for the useless Memphis... Well, if it behaves well and wins Hordia's favor, it's okay to raise another one; and Isis, the first heir is here, and wants to seize power What's the matter with a name of disloyalty and unfilial piety, just press down to see how you dance!
Imhodb thought very well, and what was even better was that the two people he calculated were following his plan step by step.The night before last, their father and daughter talked with Isis about the prospect of Egypt and made detailed plans on how to achieve the goal.Before Isis left, she swore that Haldia would be the princess. The three people who reached a consensus and got what they needed all laughed meaningfully.
Leaving Thebes was actually a temporary idea of Isis. When Memphis came to her bedroom, she first recounted the conversation with Imkhodbu and his daughter, then paused, and said calmly: To leave the idea of going to Lower Egypt.I thought that Memphis would refuse, but I didn't expect him to react like that.
Thinking back to that night.
"Why do you want to leave suddenly?" Memphis, who was already as tall as Isis, heard her saying that she was going to leave Thebes, and hurriedly grabbed her shoulder and asked.
Her shoulder hurt a little from being scratched, and Isis frowned slightly, but she didn't move away. She looked at Memphis' anxious eyes and explained in a gentle tone: "I will let Imhodbu completely let go of his guard. Believe in the fact that we fell out..."
"I don't care," Memphis interrupted Isis with a low growl, "We have worked so hard for so many years, I don't believe we are no match for that old dog!"
"Enough Memphis! No one can care less, we can't care less! You have the heart to waste all our hard work these years? Do you have the heart to hand over Egypt to someone who has nothing to do with it?!" Isis broke away from Manfi The soldier's hand, holding back his anger and questioning.
"No, I didn't... I just," Memphis explained anxiously, "We have never been separated since we were young, and now you are leaving Thebes, what should I do? I mean, maybe you There's no need to leave at all."
Isis's heart softened for a moment, and she was not willing to leave here.Noticing that her nose was a little sore, she turned around and walked to the window: "Memphis, there is no one in this world who cannot live without him. Even if I don't leave this time, we will always be separated in the future." One day. Born into the royal family, we have responsibilities we cannot escape. And you, the future king of Egypt, will have your queen and your descendants. I will also have my partner and future... Besides, leaving is For a better reunion, isn't it?" Speaking of the last sentence, Isis's tone became lighter.After a while, he didn't hear Memphis's accusation, and turned his head suspiciously.
I saw Memphis's expression was a bit ferocious, his red eyes stared at her motionlessly, and his whole body exuded an aura of grief.Such a strange Memphis made Isis feel at a loss, she was about to speak after careful consideration.
The boy strode up to Isis and hugged her, his strong arms imprisoned the girl's whole body in his arms. "Don't even think about it, I said that my princess will only be your sister, and my descendants will only be born with my sister!" The tone was a domineering oath.
Memphis's sudden confession made Isis at a loss for a moment, in her eyes he was always a child... never thought that he would treat her...
"We are siblings... how can we mess around...?" Isis subconsciously wanted to break away, but her rationality told her that this was wrong!
"Nothing is impossible! Sister, have you forgotten? Our father, queen mother and queen are our own brothers and sisters! Pharaohs of all ages in Egypt have the tradition of inbreeding!" Memphis was puzzled by Isis's reaction. Their siblings Doesn't relationship make the union of two people more intimate?
Isis was speechless, yes.In order to protect the purity of the royal lineage, Egypt has had the privilege of intermarriage between close relatives since ancient times, which is also a means of maintaining imperial power and the unity of Upper and Lower Egypt.She is the future queen of Lower Egypt. From this point of view, no one is more suitable than her to be the princess of Memphis, the future pharaoh... But the child I brought up suddenly changed into such a relationship... Why? How awkward...
The face suddenly enlarged in front of her eyes, and Isis, whose brain was still in a tangled state, had no time to react. The exclamation was blocked back into her throat, and her lips were covered with a soft warmth. Isis felt as if something exploded in her mind. Open, bang, completely blank.The surrounding air seemed to be stagnant, the lips moved gently and yet lingeringly, as if brushing lightly like feathers, the hot and humid breaths were intertwined, and it was impossible to distinguish each other.Isis blinked her eyes blankly, only seeing the long eyelashes trembling slightly on the tightly closed eyes of the young man in front of her, and it took her a while to realize the situation.She hurriedly turned her face back, struggling to escape, the young man sensed her intention, and when his lips parted slightly, he clasped the back of her head with one hand, and held the sweetness again.This time it was no longer just a simple touch, the tip of the boy's tongue lingered ambiguously on her lips, aggressively intruding into her lips to entangle...
"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Ali's voice suddenly came from outside, and Isis, who had been unconscious from being kissed, suddenly woke up, but someone showed no sign of stopping, and the impatient Isis was hinting that it was invalid Under the circumstances, he bit down on that lip hard.
When Ya Li entered the dormitory, what she saw was her master leaning against the table with her head lowered, her eyes were blocked by bangs, and her cheeks were slightly pink.And Memphis, who was less than one meter away from Isis, covered the corner of his mouth and stared at her angrily, his eyes conveying...sorrow? ? ?The girl Yali was a little embarrassed. No matter how dull she was at this time, she knew that it was inappropriate for her to come in. Although she didn't know what happened in the room before, it was obvious that Her Majesty Memphis was silently sending her a message: You must be shit. up! ... She really didn't do it on purpose! ! !Yali stood there wanting to cry but had no tears.
"It's getting late, you should go back." Isis said lightly, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
Memphis laughed back angrily, leaned forward, and whispered close to her ear: "No matter what, I won't let you leave me, don't try to challenge my patience." The tone was full of threats.After finishing speaking, she went straight out, snorted coldly when passing by a certain maid who was trying to treat herself as an invisible person, and her body trembled in shock, the plate in her hand fell to the ground without stability for a moment, making a crisp sound.Ya Li tearfully went to her master's side to seek comfort, but Isis was too much stimulated tonight, so she had no time to immerse herself in her own thoughts.
Escaping has never been Isis's style. Regarding the ostrich behavior of taking the token and oral order from the Pharaoh and then directly packing up and leaving, she calmly told herself that it was for the future of Egypt and to make their plan more seamless. She, who is afraid to face someone's emotions, has a negative attitude.
When the thoughts returned to the eyes, the sun had completely sunk into the horizon, leaving only a little blush on the horizon.
The man beside him stood silently, only the sound of shallow breathing told him that he had not left.
Isis raised her eyebrows: "Why are you here?"
"Just passing by." The man didn't change his face.
Isis chuckled and said, "Apart from just passing by, can you do something else? From the first time we met to now, you just pass by every time."
"If I remember correctly, mine just passed by and saved someone several times." The man followed her example and raised his eyebrows.
Isis: "..." This wicked man is still so poisonous.The few times she sneaked out of the palace and was assassinated, she just happened to be rescued by him. The only times she was in a state of embarrassment since she was born was just so happened to be hit by this man.
Seeing that she was silent, the man smiled lightly, and Isis gave him a hard look.
"Where are you going?" She didn't think this man was just passing by.
"I don't know, why? Do you want to take me in?"
Isis looked at him in surprise when she heard this, and met a pair of green pupils.The man in front of her was actually not very familiar to her, she had only had a few simple exchanges, but she was in a sensitive position, but she couldn't dislike this man who was obviously a foreign face.There are suspicions and investigations, but the information is blank.Strangely enough, Isis somehow felt that he would not hurt her.
After a while, Isis looked away: "I happen to be short of a bodyguard, but don't think that I will pay you." Then she turned and walked towards the carriage, the man chuckled again and followed.
"Hey, what's your name?"
"..." This woman! !Would it be too late for them to have known each other for so long?
"Hey... how dare you not answer your employer's question!"
"Saru."
"What did you say?"
"My name is Saru..."
At sunset, the setting sun is like fire, and the endless desert seems to be burned, forming a sea of flames, which is breathtakingly beautiful. The camel caravan in the distance, under the sunlight, looks like a silhouette, like a dream.This is what Isis saw when she got off the carriage.
"Isn't it beautiful?" When I was fascinated by it, a deep male voice suddenly came from beside me.
