Seeing Jiu'er crying "gaffe" in front of him, Xuan Ye was a little overwhelmed, you must know that Jiu'er has always been a "strong woman" image in front of Xuan Ye, and she actually cried sadly for several irrelevant characters who had already passed away in the long river of history, this is not Jiu'er's style.

Xuan Ye rubbed the back of his hands unnaturally, and said cautiously: "Mo Jiu, don't be angry, I think you are trapped in this life now, I didn't insult them, I just said a rumor, guess what Hepheus's illness is related to, why do you react so strongly." ”

Xuan Ye sighed, and looked at Ren Yan helplessly, this unlucky guy has recently become Ren Yan's punching bag, and he is trained at every turn, but fortunately, Xuan Ye is thick-skinned and doesn't take it to heart.

Ren Yan wiped away her tears, got up and walked out the door, and threw a word to Xuan Ye, "I'll go see Hephaus, are you going?" ”

Xuan Ye paused for a moment and replied carefully: "I won't go, I just came back from there, and now I want to go to the sports field to watch the game." ”

He didn't want to see Jiu'er crying in front of Hephaestion, and Xuan Ye would feel uncomfortable.

Mo Jiu went to Hephais's temporary residence alone, and looked at Queen Roxana at the door again, Ren Yan bowed deeply, looked up at Roxana gently, "Queen, do you hate Hephais?" ”

Roxana was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows and laughed, "What are you talking about?" Why should I hate General Hephaus? ”

Ren Jian lowered her head and smiled, this young queen has super psychological quality, which Ren Jian did not expect, regardless of whether Hephaestion's illness has anything to do with him, she hates Hephais, this is certain, but Roxana did not show half of the hatred on her face.

Ren Jian raised her head, there was no emotion in her eyes, hatred or not, no one was wrong about this matter, for her own interests, Roxana had her own reasons.

Ren Ji took a step forward, glanced at the two queen attendants next to her, and whispered in the queen's ear: "Queen, I am the same age as you, and when I see you, I think of my sisters," Ren Jian said Fei'er and Ling'er, "I have some psychological things to tell you, many times, I live on a wooden collapse outside the emperor's sleeping tent,"

The abnormal performance of the nine female ceremonies of the Mel made the queen stunned for a moment, and after a slight adjustment, Roxana smiled lightly: "You don't have to explain this to me, for the safety of the emperor, you live outside his dormitory, I am very grateful to you, the emperor said, he admires you very much, but please rest assured that I will never have a relationship with you, he completely regards you as a comrade-in-arms, his friend." ”

Roxana will be wrong about Ren Juan, Ren Juan is not worried that the queen will eat her own jealousy, not to mention the queen, no one in the whole army thinks in that direction, the emperor has too strong control over the relationship between men and women, and Ren Juan is not the type that the emperor likes at all, of course, this does not affect the emperor's good to Ren Juan, he really regards Ren Juan as a confidant who lives and dies together, and can discuss major matters together.

Ren Juan smiled helplessly, "What I said is not this, the queen is not worried about this aspect at all, what I want to tell you is that I know better than anyone about the friendship between the emperor and Hephaus, I live outside the account to protect the emperor from evil spirits, and the queen is truly grateful to me, right?" ”

"Of course." The queen said without hesitation.

"It seems that the queen really loves the emperor, and I believe that as long as the emperor is good, the queen will be happy, but does the queen know that the emperor is actually under pressure? After more than ten years of fighting, he left his homeland, never returned to his hometown, never saw his mother, and heard that the conflict between the regent and the queen mother had intensified, and Alexander was very troubled. Do you know who is the hardest in the past ten years of war? ”

Roxana looked at Ren Juan suspiciously, but did not answer.

"It's Alexander the Great." Ren Juan's eyes moistened as she spoke, "The troubles in his heart are not something you and I can understand." ”

Ren Juan paused, and then said, "But Hephaestion is different, all the thoughts in the emperor's heart, Hephaestion understands, every night when Hephaestion stays in the emperor's bedroom, the two of them are discussing the major events of the war, all the emperor's plans, plans, and hearts are shared with Hephaus, Hephaus is a dose of chicken soup in the emperor's heart, healing the emperor's scars, and the next day the emperor can stand in front of the soldiers with full blood, leading everyone to attack the city and break the enemy, doesn't the queen thank him?" Without him, our emperor would not be so sunny, do you want to see a happy emperor, or a depressed emperor? ”

Roxana was stunned for a moment before she spoke, "Daughter, please find a way to make Hephaestion better." ”

Ren Yan wiped a handful of tears, "There are some things that can only be taken by nature, I said this to the queen, I just hope that the queen can live an easy life, and I only hear the conversation between two close friends when I live outside the account, and nothing else." Ren Yan's last sentence has a meaning.

"Queen, I'm going to see Hephaus, so I won't accompany you."

Roxana looked sad, nodded, and silently left Hephaestion's quarters.

Ren Juan walked into Hephais's dormitory, and the general's wife sat on the edge of his bed sadly, wiping her tears, her eyes were red from crying, and when she saw Ren Juan come in, she took the hand of the priest and walked to Hephais's bedside.

Hephaestion lay quietly on the bed, his eyes closed, still in good shape, and his face handsome, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Hephais, Mo Erjiu has come to see you, I know you can hear it, thank you for taking care of me for more than ten years, you are the gentlest person in the military camp to Mo Erjiu, you don't know my real name for so many years, today I tell you, my name is actually Ren Yan, the god of war of the nine heavens, do you believe it?"

Ren Juan smiled bitterly, "But I can't save you, remember my name, if there is an afterlife, I hope you can recognize me." ”

Hephaestion's eyelashes flickered twice, Ren Juan knew that he heard what he said, returning from the Great Wilderness, Ren Ji always paid attention to the people and things around him, and habitually proofread them with the characters in the Great Wilderness, hoping to meet "acquaintances" here, especially to find the whereabouts of the four friends of the first yuan.

In this life, Jiu'er only found a part of the soul of Zhe Dan and Bai Ze, Shaodian did not appear, and Jiu Ming never appeared in several lifetimes, she didn't know whether Jiu Ming, who was incarnated as a daughter, was a man or a woman in the past life, and General Hephaestion lying on the bed must have an unusual relationship with Jiu'er, Ren Xi didn't dare to determine his identity, and the emperor, Jiu'er couldn't sense their qi, but her intuition told Jiu'er that they were related to herself.

Jiu'er wiped away her tears and turned to Hephaus's wife, "Madam, everything is arranged by heaven, and there are still a few days left, take good care of Hephaus." ”

Ren Yan's words, Hephaestion's wife understood, tears crackled down, but she didn't cry, she held Ren Yan's hand tightly, she had already heard of the prestige of the imperial female ritual, the female ceremonial said that Hephaestion had little time, that must be true.

The two women comforted each other silently, and finally Ren Jian got up, "Madam, I'll go back first, I'll come back tomorrow, take care of yourself." ”

Ren Juan left Hephaestion's mansion and walked down the bluestone-paved road, the tall date palm trees on both sides were full of red dates, Jiu'er picked one casually and held it in the palm of her hand.

When he came to the sports field, he saw Alexander sitting on the sports field, the emperor was listless, he must have been worried about Hephais's condition, for the ancient Greeks, sports competition was even more important than military operations, although Hephaestion was seriously ill in bed, as the commander Alexander also had to sit in the stands of the games.

The Emperor had to take the time to see Hephaus during the break of the sports meeting every day, and when he saw Ren Juan coming, Alexander motioned for the female priest to sit beside him, and Ren Juan sat down as ordered, and the Emperor said eagerly, "Did you go to see Hephaus?" ”

Ren Yan nodded.

"Is his illness getting better?" The Emperor asked eagerly.

The Nine Daughters of Melmer did not make a sound, but shook their heads slightly.

Alexander turned his face and looked at the athletic arena in the distance, but his eyes did not move the direction of his gaze with the athlete's movements, Ren Xi knew that the Emperor had already premonition the severity of Hephaestion's condition at this time.

Jiu'er spread his right hand slightly, and two red dates were exposed, Jiu'er hesitated, raised his hand slightly, and handed the dates to the emperor's eyes: "Your Majesty, the newly picked dates on the road, I heard the guards say, you have sat here all day without eating anything, and the freshly ripened dates are very sweet, Your Majesty will eat one." ”

Looking at Alexander, who had become increasingly haggard in the past few days, Jiu'er was very distressed and forced a date palm into the emperor's hand.

Alexander looked down at the dates in his hand, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he suddenly turned his head and grabbed Ren Xi's hand suddenly, and said pleadingly: "Nucier, you have always been skilled in magic and have great magical powers, there must be a way to make Hephaus better, right?" Looking at the emperor's longing eyes, Ren Juan couldn't bear to hurt his heart, so he had to bow his head and say nothing.

The Emperor knew that there was little hope, so he grabbed Ren Yan's hand tightly and cried, "Nuci, I can't lose Hephaus, you know." ”

Ren Yan choked up, "Emperor, there are some things we can only face, you are the commander of Alexander's empire, your emotions and actions will have unexpected effects, don't you love every soldier of the empire, you must want to build a strong and stable empire for them, right?" ”

The Emperor nodded, and Ren Juan squeezed Alexander's hand hard, "Everyone is watching you, the Emperor must be strong." An athletic tournament is being held today, and you want to ...... Glad. ”

In the end, the word "happy", Ren Juan reluctantly said, it was too difficult for the emperor to be for him, and at this time, he had to be enthusiastic and elated.

Alexander the Great lowered his head to stabilize his emotions, and then raised his head, he did smile, and the smile made Ren Yan's heart sour, and tears quickly swirled in his eyes.

Finally, the third day of the sports meeting was over, Alexander rushed to see Hephais, Ren Jian did not follow, she didn't want to see the emperor sad in front of Hephaestion, if she could, she hoped that every time she saw Alexander, he was smiling and radiant.

In the next few days, Ren Juan would go to accompany Hephaestion for a while every day, and Xuan Ye also followed, he liked Hephais very much, so many worlds have passed, Hephais is the only opposite sex that Xuan Ye appreciates.
