The Ishtar Temple did not find out the person who was under the Gu, so Entu sent Ren Juan to the palace on the grounds of sending someone to visit the unwell princess, whether he could stay in the palace to investigate the person who was under the Gu depends on Ren Juan's ability.

Ren Jian took a young priestess from the Ishtar Temple to the palace, came to this life, today was the first time to walk out of the Ishtar Temple, and the scene in front of her stunned Ren Yan's senses.

All that catches your eye is the rectangular castle buildings with a glazed luster, which are staggered in height and height, and walking in them is like entering a fairy tale world of castles.

There are thousands of altars and shrines throughout the city, making it feel like you're living in the divine realm.

The temple of Ishtar is in the southeast corner of the palace, and from a distance you can see the golden glitter at the top of the palace, which is the gilded roof of the palace.

Looking to the southwest again, the top of a towering tower flashed golden into the sky, and at the place of the Heavenly Gate of Babita, Ren Yan's final task was to be completed there.

A green garden in the northwest seems to be floating in the void, with light white floating clouds on it, like a fairyland, it is a hanging garden, I don't know if Ren Juan can find a chance to go there to enjoy it.

Ren Juan walked west along the temple to the Parade Street, which connects to the famous Ishtar Gate in the north, through the Palace Avenue to the southeast to the Ishtar Temple, and then to the Marduk Temple and the Tower of Babel to the Nabu Street to the Euphrates River.

The Euphrates River crosses the city of Babylon from north to south, and across the Euphrates River to the west along Adad Avenue to the Hanging Gardens.

There are opposite rows of round or square flower beds on both sides of the parade street every few meters, the flower beds are surrounded by glazed glazed bricks, the large clusters of moon flowers are blooming brightly, the fiery red roses exude a refreshing fragrance, there are big red cherry trees in the open space between the flower beds, which are full of fruits, Ren Jian jumped over and picked a handful of big cherries, wiped them twice on the long shirt and swallowed them into her stomach, "It's so sweet!" ”

Ren Jian listened to the priest's explanation all the way, followed the procession street lined with lions and strange dragon stone sculptures on both sides, stepped on the flat continent paved with sun-dried bricks and asphalt, accompanied by the fragrance of flowers and birds, and traveled all the way to the northeast and approached the palace.

The east gate of the palace is close to the Ishtar gate that exudes blue glazed light, along the east gate of the palace, Ren Juan entered the interior of the palace, that is, the south palace, the palace is composed of five courtyards of different sizes, each courtyard is planted with evergreen shrubs, the artificial flower beds in the courtyard are made of glazed glazed bricks, the inside is gorgeous and colorful, the competition is all roses, butterflies fly and linger in the flowers.

The palace guards took Ren Juan through the three courtyards and came to the fourth courtyard, which should be the dormitory of the unwell princess, this courtyard has a name called the Gula Courtyard, named after the Babylonian goddess of healing.

It seems that Belshazzar still has a good love for this princess, and the third courtyard is the king's separate palace, and the king arranged this concubine next to his main hall, which should be a sign of the princess's favor.

In addition to these five large courtyards scattered in Nangong, there are also a number of small courtyards scattered around, which should be inhabited by some noble concubines with slightly lower status.

Ren Juan followed the guards, stepped through the bronze door of the courtyard, a burst of rue fragrance wafted to the face, in a round flower bed in the northeast corner of the courtyard, planted with small petals of rue, other opposite flower beds have pink and red two kinds of moon season, a mulberry tree full of purple red fruits at the entrance of the main hall.

Ren Juan followed the guards into the central hall of the Gula Courtyard hopefully, a maid wearing a light blue tunic took Ren Juan to the princess's bedroom on the left side of the hall, the princess was dressed in a yellow robe, lying on the bed, and there was a small wooden table in the bow of the boat, on which honey, bread and some dried dates were placed, and the two river basins had a tradition of lying down to eat, the princess was lying on the bed to eat, and when she saw Ren Juan come in, she raised her eyes slightly.

"Is it true that the priests of the temple are so ugly? Can't you send someone who is pleasing to the eye and wants to frighten the child in my belly? The princess was dissatisfied.

Ren Jian stood there and pouted, this princess is not very good, she actually judges people by her appearance.

Ren Jian walked closer, "Honorable princess, my family's entu wants me to exorcise evil spirits for the princess, although this priest is not good-looking, but he has already seen the evil mist on your body." ”

"What? Where? You'll catch it for me! The princess was impatient, threw down a dried date, and lay down on the bed with her eyes closed.

She was in a very irritable mood, this was a manifestation of the upper body of the evil thing, Ren Jian came closer and said, "The princess is offended." "One

Tearing off the clothes on the princess's body, the princess was so frightened that she hurriedly covered it with a quilt, and a misty snake tail on Ren Yan's right hand was bent and tangled from the tip of her fingers.

The princess's eyes widened and she asked in astonishment, "What is this?" ”

Ren Juan was not in a hurry to answer, "Look at your belly."

A stretch mark in the shape of a python's reproductive shape was engraved on the princess's pregnant belly, and the princess wiped it vigorously, trying to wipe it off.

Ren Juan sighed, "It's useless, this is the mark left by the baby eater Moramashtu, she will follow the mark at the first moment of your child's birth." The snake's tail just now is the main cause of your physical discomfort, and I will help you remove it now, but the mark on your pregnant belly is not easy to get rid of, I have to find Ramashtu, and only by doing it on the donor can I get rid of the mark. ”

The princess's charming face was already distorted, and she stammered a little when she spoke, jumped out of bed, and held Ren Yan's hand tightly, "Banu, please find Ramashtu, and save my child...... I have a lot of treasures here, all for you. The princess motioned to her attendants to fetch the so-called treasure.

Ren Jian hurriedly waved her hand, "No need princess, you just let me stay in the palace for a few days, and I will find Ramashtu." "I didn't expect to find a reason to stay in the palace so easily.

"Well, go and tell the king that I will let the Banu of the temple of Ishtar stay in my chamber for a few days, for the sake of the child in my womb." The princess commanded the attendants beside her proudly.

This princess is not only charming, but also very arrogant, just now taking advantage of the chaos, Ren Jian saw her chest, and there was no suspicion. But it doesn't matter, as long as she can live in the palace, Ren Juan will take advantage of the night when everyone is asleep, check one by one, and she will definitely be able to find the person who is under the Gu.

"Princess, I have a question that you need you to help me answer, Ramashtu usually hides in swamps or woods, she won't sneak into anyone's house if she doesn't have a clear goal, did you go to the temple yesterday for the exorcism festival?"

"No, it's all because I've been in bad health lately, so I didn't participate in the exorcism festival yesterday, and I wanted to ask the king to call the temple Banu to come to the palace to help me exorcise demons, isn't this just thinking, are you coming?"

No wonder, I didn't see this princess yesterday, Ren Xi muttered in her heart.

"Have you been out of the palace lately?"

"No, I haven't been out since I was pregnant. What's wrong, what's wrong? The princess looked at Ren Yan in surprise.

"That's not right, Ramashtu will never smell the breath of a baby in the palace in the wild woods, and there will be a certain spiritual power behind any palace to prevent the invasion of evil power, so someone in the palace must have personally encountered Ramashtu in the wild, and may have lured the female demon into your dormitory by what means, and cast a spell on you, and now you have to tell me, who in the palace is likely to harm you like this? Who did the princess have a holiday with? Ren Jian stared at the princess's eyes, which country will have palace fights in any era.

"It must be the queen, she has never had children, I have given birth to two in a row, she is so jealous, I will go and tell the king, put her to death."

The princess got up angrily and walked out, her delicate cheeks flushed.

A maid hurriedly stopped the princess, "Princess, don't get excited, the king will not kill the queen, the queen is the princess of the Medes, and now Persia is eager to try our country, and the king will rely on the power of the Medes to fight against Persia." "The female slave next to the princess is not simple, she is more sober than their master.

The princess sat on the high chair next to her and scolded through gritted teeth, "This woman, do you just let her assassinate me?" ”

"Princess, can I talk to you alone?" Ren Juan glanced at the princess and motioned for her to turn away from the people around her.

The princess understood, waved her hand to order the left and right servants to leave, Ren Jian approached the princess, and said softly, "Princess, as long as you can determine who this person who led Ramashtu into the palace, I can find Ramashtu according to her whereabouts, and the news that I found the mark of Ramashtu on your body today will definitely reach the queen's ears, and she will definitely inform Ramashtu to hide it temporarily, and I will cast a spell to monitor all the whereabouts of the queen." Saying this, Ren Juan recited a spell and raised her hand to release the bird spirit to the No. 2 Nanna Villa, where the queen was located.

"Princess, I must not say goodbye to others when I cast a spell on the queen."

The princess nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said nervously, "Banu, I have seen your mana today, I am very worried about my princess, the queen can cast spells on the fetus in my womb, she will definitely try to harm my princess, I am not worried in the palace, but the prince will go to the royal school every day to study, I am afraid that the queen will start at that time, now I am not at ease, I only believe in you, can I ask you to accompany my son to and from school?" ”

You must know that during the Babylonian period, the temple priest group and the royal family were basically at the same level, although Ren Jian was just a small Banu, but it was still a bit too much to let the priests who served the gods take her royal son to and from school.

Seeing that Ren Juan was silent, the princess hurriedly added, "Banu, I will give you a big reward." ”

Ren Juan smiled, "Princess, you don't need to reward me, and I don't have to personally pick up our Royal Highness the Prince, but please believe that I will definitely cast a spell to protect the prince." ”

In any case, during this time in the palace, he must ensure the safety of the prince, otherwise there will be no reason to stay.

"Where is your prince, and will you show me?" Ren Yan said.

"Nirjana, go and call the prince!"

"Okay!" The slave outside the door replied loudly.

The princess motioned for Ren Juan to sit beside her, and Ren Juan sat down with a smile.
