The body of the pharaoh was mummified by the monks over a period of seventy days.
These seventy days are mourning periods, and so many women in the palace will mourn for the pharaoh in these last seventy days, and after seventy days, Tasha will arrange for them to leave the palace, and each of them will receive a lot of money, and they can go home or remarry. I didn't agree with the proposal to bury them.
But on the night of Pharaoh's death, dozens of women in the harem committed suicide to be martyred. Among them, some took poison in their dormitories, and some committed suicide with daggers while sitting together...... There is also a cloth ribbon around the neck and hung under the cloister in the garden. And her handmaiden fell at her feet, and went with her. It is said that the cloister was where she first met the pharaoh......
When I heard the news, I was discussing military defense affairs with Xiao Man and Idhombu, Xiao Man sighed, sat there in a daze, and said nothing.
I feel a little sad.
Father, if you really know after death, how will you feel when you see these women who are usually ignored by you being buried for you?
The woman you have loved so much, Ansuna is like a jackal, and she is a poisonous snake through and through......
If Ansuna hadn't died now, neither she nor Anyili would have accompanied you to death.
They don't love you, and they don't even have basic loyalty.
You...... You should get the idea, right?
"Tell them to go down, and they may enter the valley of the king's house together...... Let them stay with Pharaoh for a long time. Xiao Man said: "Their true feelings and lives have been handed over to their father, and they should be allowed to accompany their father." ”
Idhombu said: "Yes, it couldn't be better that way. ”
I said, "If they still have families, let's compensate them with some of their belongings." ”
"Yes, the princess has a good heart, and I will command it at once."
We bury our heads and continue to talk about armaments.
The geography of Egypt is still very unique, and I remember that I accidentally watched a little bit of information in modern times, which seems to be a TV show, talking about the reason why Egypt was able to achieve a brilliant ancient civilization, and its geographical location is inseparable. It had no strong enemies on land, the Nile River was naturally flooded, so agriculture was developed, and there was import and export trade facing the sea, and there were no powerful powers on the Mediterranean and its shores in the early days that could threaten Egypt.
Nubia's intentions were ill-intentioned, but that little crisis was not enough to shake Egypt's national foundation.
We have been discussing until late at night, the pharaoh's posthumous affairs, although there is customization, but still need to be discussed and determined in the same way, the pharaoh's pyramid in the Valley of the Royal Family has actually been completed, but it still needs to be checked and confirmed, and the final repair is completed. The pharaoh's funeral required money, sacrifices, and all kinds of elaborate rituals......
Xiao Man's eyes became redder and redder, I was secretly worried, and said softly: "Memphis, the big things have already been decided, and it's not too late to discuss the small details slowly tomorrow." You eat something first and go rest. ”
He didn't speak, just shook his head.
I motioned for Yali to get ready, and when she came in with the hot soup, I said, "It's okay not to sleep, drink some soup to refresh yourself." ”
Tang Sheng served it to him in a silver bowl, and Xiao Man fell down in one breath, and picked up the plan that had been copied on the papyrus paper to look at it.
I walked up behind him and whispered, "You're tired, lean back in your chair for a while." ”
He nodded a little sleepily, leaned back in his chair, and slowly closed his eyes.
Idhombu asked, "Princess, what ......is this?"
"A little sleep-aiding herbs were added to the soup, he was so tired that he couldn't have just lost his father, and his body collapsed again. Why don't you take a break, Prime Minister...... It's all about to come. ”
I was tired, but I didn't feel sleepy. When I took off my jewellery and changed my clothes, I was at her mercy like a wooden man, and Kim obediently swam down from my wrist and ran to the pillow on its special cushion.
I'm a little distracted, and if I don't go out alone in the afternoon, if Pharaoh is poisoned I'll rush to his side...... Xiao Jin was able to cure the poison on my body, and maybe he could save Pharaoh......
Maybe it wasn't like that, but I was suffering from a chronic poison, but Pharaoh was a strong poison that killed instantly......
"Princess, don't bother," Yali said softly, "Don't hurt your body because you're too sad, rest quickly." ”
I came back to my senses: "Yali, you go to sleep too, it's been a hard day...... There's more to do tomorrow......"
"I'll serve the princess to sleep first, and I'll nest here for half the night."
I look outside, and if I don't sleep, I'm afraid it will be dawn.
I curled up on the bed, dazed as if awake and asleep.
People are always like this, they don't cherish it when they get it, and they regret it after they lose it.
I don't usually think of Pharaoh as my father, just as a cheap dad......
But why am I so sad now?
I tugged at my chest, feeling a faint pain there, cold and empty.
It turns out that before I know it, I have already thought of myself as his daughter......
I regret, remorse, resentment, sadness......
Jin swam from the pillow and slowly moved around my cheeks and neck, as if comforting me wordlessly.
I don't know how long I've been lying down, and when I wake up I feel my head buzzing and sad, as if someone has hit me hard with a sledgehammer in the night, and my eyes are uncomfortable, and a large piece of the tide on the pillow.
Did I cry at night? I don't remember.
Ally took a plain dress for me to change, and when she was dressing, she only grinded a little powder for me to apply, and put away the rest of the makeup.
"By the way, princess, Tasha came early in the morning, and it seems that she has something to tell the princess."
I stood up: "Okay, pass her in." ”
Tasha came at this time, could it be that Yi Li was tossing again?
This woman ......
I look at my nails.
It's the first time I've wanted to kill someone like this.
She didn't even think about Ansuna's happy death.
I'm going to make her regret that she was born into this world, that she came to Egypt, that she did everything she did!
