The visitor was a young man wearing a hat. Izuda had already recognized him, he was a member of the House of the Minister of the Palace, the Naye family. After Nayer glanced at the doorway and took off her hat, Issuda was even more sure.

Naiyah was a monk in the temples of Angkor Wat. Isuva, who believes in Buddhism, saw this person when she went to offer incense. She had the impression that it was because the palace minister who accompanied her at that time had specially introduced the descendants of her family to the queen.

Most of the people of Zhenla will become monks and serve the Buddha for a period of time before returning to the world. Naye doesn't seem to have been vulgar for long, and his hair is still very light.

The two of them said something similar: "The Minister of the Palace sent you (me)." ”

Naye was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Can you talk about it in another place?" ”

Since they were acquaintances, and they were in Phnom Penh, Isseva had nothing to worry about, so she took Naye to a more secluded room in the back.

Silently, Naye tore the stitches from inside her clothes, took out a small roll of paper, and handed it to Issuva.

Issuva's face changed suddenly. Ahead of it is a text written by the Minister of the Palace, telling Isuda to follow Naye's arrangement and go to the Pore region south of Phnom Penh, where there will be a king's private estate for her to settle in. There is also the handwriting of King Benhaya in the back: Let the palace minister arrange to take refuge for the time being, and wait for me to regain the situation.

She looked closely at the small line on the back again, and it was indeed Benhaya's handwriting.

"Why?" Ixuva couldn't help but ask.

Naye whispered, "Our ears and eyes have got some clues, someone is trying to kill the queen!" The king was very worried that the queen would have an accident, so he asked the palace minister to arrange this matter. The king also wants to bring you back to the palace and make you queen in the future. ”

Izuda blurted out: "Is it the general? ”

Nayer was noncommittal and did not speak.

Izova said, "I want to see the king." ”

Naye hurriedly persuaded: "Our family has served the royal family for generations, and we have married many times, and the palace minister is loyal to the royal family, so the queen does not have to worry." What's more, you can't enter the palace now, and the situation in Phnom Penh is even more critical than expected. ”

"That's why I want to see the king." Izuda said, "If the general dares to do this, is he not afraid of the king's revenge in the future?" I would like to remind the king to beware of the general's rebellion! ”

Naye shook his head and said, "In this kind of matter, there are many people who are loyal to the king who give advice, and you can't help it. Moreover, the palace can no longer allow you to enter at this time, and it is difficult for the king to come out and meet privately. If you get to Pole's manor, you may soon see the king. ”

Ixuva walked anxiously around.

Naye added: "I saw the palace minister write a letter with my own eyes, and you should look carefully at his handwriting. The Minister of the Palace works for the royal family, you can only rest assured. ”

Issuda held the letter to the window, and when she looked at the handwriting on it, she recalled the writing habits of the palace ministers, and there was indeed no problem.

Naye stretched out his hand and said, "The queen confirmed the contents of the secret letter, and destroyed it as soon as possible, so as not to peek into the eyes and ears of the ** minister." ”

Izuda returned the secret letter to Nayer. Naye took a look and saw an oil lamp in front of a Buddha statue, so he took it and lit it.

Naye said: "This matter is kept secret, and no one knows where the queen has gone except the king and the palace minister." Tomorrow morning, the Minister of the Palace will send a few of his bodyguards to escort the Queen south. We arranged horses outside the city, and when we got out of the city, we rode south, and we could reach the manor tomorrow. If the queen has anything to say to the king, write a letter to the king, and let me bring it back to the palace. ”

After speaking, Naye put on his hat and pressed it very low, and hurriedly took his leave and left.

Isuda had a lot of thoughts in her mind, she thought about a lot of things, and constantly speculated about the thoughts of her enemies. Gradually, like the ashes of Angkor Thom, her solidified hatred came back to her heart. There was not only hatred for the Siamese, but also resentment for the ruthless general.

The king still had a fondness for her. Ishova racked her brains and thought of the only chance she had left.

If she can return to the queen's throne, she may be able to do something for hatred. Maybe in the rest of her life, she can only live for revenge.

In the early hours of the next morning, Naye somehow escaped the servants and guards and made his way into Issuva's mansion. It can be seen that where Issuva lives, there is a problem with prevention, and if the enemy wants to harm her, it is not very difficult.

Naiye asks Isova if she wants to go to Pore's Manor, and Issova finally agrees, and she immediately decides to leave.

She also took almost nothing with her, just changed into an inconspicuous outfit. After all, only ordinary people will have the habit of packing large bags.

In order to keep it secret, there were only two guards escorting Issuva, plus Naye of the palace minister's family, a total of three. They quietly left the mansion, and then as soon as the gates opened, they walked out of Phnom Penh.

Sure enough, as Naye had said, they found four horses in the woods outside the city and rode away.

Naye and the others are very cautious, and after walking for a while, they will hide in the woods to observe and see if there are any followers. And they often choose small roads to avoid areas with more pedestrians.

As the group reached dusk, Izuva couldn't help but ask, "How long is there to be left from Poray Manor?" ”

Nyer glanced at the sun as it reached the horizon, and replied, "If you go faster, you may be there before dark." ”

He turned over and dismounted, and took a water bag to drink.

Ixuva frowned and said, "Let's rest when we get to the place." ”

Naye nodded, slowly placing the hydration bag on his horse. He suddenly turned around, reached out and pulled Issuda off her horse. Frightened, Issuda asked aloud, "What are you doing?" ”

Naye reached out and pressed Issuva's mouth, his eyes already showing a fiery lustful light, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva continuously.

Izuda struggled, but Nayer's strength didn't let her break free. At this time, Naye turned around and said, "What are you still looking at?" Come and help hold it down, everyone has a share. ”

The younger of the two guards said, "She's been a queen." ”

Naye said: "We're going to die anyway, why don't we be happy?" The queen's fame is known to the whole country, if it weren't for such an opportunity, we would have been able to touch her fingers? Hurry up! You're all here to help. ”

"Help......" Isseva finally broke free from Nayer's grasp and shouted loudly. But he was immediately held down by Nayer again. The young guard who had just spoken stepped forward and pressed Issuva's arm. Now she couldn't break free, and even her strength became weaker and weaker.

Ixuva burst into tears, her deep eyes filled with resentment and fear.

At this moment, suddenly her arm loosened, and she heard a scream of "ah". Naye threw herself on top of Isuva, staring at a pair of eyes and moving limbs, and Isuva hurriedly lifted them.

The young guard, who was holding Issuva's hand next to her, let go of her, and then ran away. The young guard ran up to a horse and tried to grab the reins of the horse. Another guard ran after him, stabbed the man in the buttocks, grabbed him by the garment, and pulled him down. The horses were frightened and ran away.

Izuda got up from the ground in a daze, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

The two scuffled together, and the wounded young guard grew out of his strength as he watched as someone plunged a knife into his chest. Blood flowed straight down, splashing the murderous guards with blood all over their heads.

Then the guard wiped his face with his sleeve, gasped and walked back, bowed, and said, "Let the queen be frightened." ”

Izuda calmed herself down and looked at the person in front of her: "Who are you?" I'll definitely pay you heavily. ”

The guard reported an unfamiliar name, claiming to be the one who was the Great General. Only then did Ixuva look at the guard, who she hadn't looked at much before. I saw that this was a man with unattractive appearance and dark skin, probably forty or fifty years old.

Confused, Izova asked, "Why do the ministers of the palace harm me, and you are the one of the great generals, and you want to fight with them?" ”

The old guard said: "Obviously, the general and the palace minister are in the same group. ”

Izuda asked, "How did they form an alliance?" ”

The old guard just shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. He said: "The two people who died were both from the palace ministers. And before I came to do this, I didn't know that it was the queen who was going to be killed. After leaving the city, I slowly figured out that except for the nephew of the palace minister, Naiya, the rest of the people were probably going to die! The reward is to take the life to spend it, and we will be killed. ”

Ixova finally nodded slightly, and suddenly had a little bit of an eyebrow about the matter.

The minister of the palace colluded with the general to trick her out of the city and then get rid of her without knowing it; At that time, the world will not even know whether she is alive or dead, and maybe some people will say that she is afraid of being given death and runs away in fear of sin. And the handwriting on that letter is half-true; The handwriting of the minister of the palace is true, and the handwriting of the king is imitated. Issuda even speculated that if she hadn't been fooled, she might have been killed in the mansion.

The old guard said: "Instead of choosing to do bad things for the general, and then be killed; It is better to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, rescue the queen back to Phnom Penh, and then ask the king for protection. ”

Izuda praised: "You will also be rewarded handsomely. ”

The old guard bent down and said, "Thank you, Queen." ”

The horses don't know when they're gone. The two of them prepared to walk all the way and returned to Phnom Penh overnight, resting and taking a nap from time to time on the way. The old guard was probably not asleep when he was napping, but occasionally when he fell asleep and opened his eyes, he would hurry to find the queen, and he was relieved to see her.

On the second day, Issuda looked in the direction of the sun and felt that it was traveling in the wrong direction. She asked, "Why don't you go north?" ”

The old guard said, "We can't take the big road, the path is always a little crooked. Don't think too much about it, the magnates of Phnom Penh want your life, and you will only die if you run around. ”

Izuda didn't dare to trust others easily, she already felt that something was wrong.

But the old guard was very respectful and friendly to her, why did he lie to her? Esuda pondered that maybe this person was afraid that she would run away desperately; And he couldn't carry Issuva on his shoulders, so he could only trick her into going by herself.

However, she was born as the daughter of a big family, and she was served since she was a child, and she had no skills or knowledge of the road in this wilderness. For a while, Isseva couldn't think of a good way.
