Tasha and Unas carried Memphis in a panic, and there was a snake head attached to his leg, apparently the moment the snake bit him, Memphis swung his sword and cut the snake into two pieces, and the back half of the snake body fell off, but the snake's fangs were still deeply bitten on his leg and did not fall.
"Quick, put him flat!" I tried to get up, but I had no strength on my hands and feet, and I stumbled on the ground, and almost fell on top of Memphis. His chest was pounding, and his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his throat.
Memphis is fine! He'll be fine!
I won't let him have anything to do with him.
I pulled out my dagger with my backhand, grabbed the triangular head of the snake, and pushed the blade against the flesh of Memphis, cutting the head into two pieces and removing it from Memphis's leg.
"Tie his legs!" Unas moved quickly, taking a strip of cloth to tie Memphis's legs tightly.
"Gotta suck out the venom!"
My dagger turned around and made a cross on Memphis's leg from the snake's bite, and the other guard beside me bowed his head without saying a word, and sucked the venom from the wound, sucking and spitting.
"Xiao Jin, good, you can restrain this snake venom, right?" I whispered to it to discuss, and it was strange to say, this little guy can be called the snake king, but why didn't it react when there was a snake infested today?
Is it because it's not me who is attacking, so it doesn't matter?
Xiao Jin moved lazily, seemingly reluctantly.
"Memphis is my brother, if you can save it, then you must help."
Kim shook his head, flicked his tail again, slid off my wrist, and swam meandering to Memphis. The guard, who had been sucking the blood of Memphis, avoided it in horror, and Kim leaned in, raised his head, and bit Memphis on the foot.
The people around him exclaimed and gasped for a long time, Xiao Jin, this guy never knew how to say the word stage fright, and whether there were people around or not had no effect on it.
The venomous snake was so venomous that when Memphis lifted it up just now, his face was already flushed with an abnormal flush, and his lips were purple. The medical officer hadn't left yet, but he was just in time. He also had some antidote drugs in his medicine box, and now he took them all out, and no matter which symptom was right or wrong, it was the most important thing to feed Mephiz first.
Jin bit Memphis for about a minute and a half, then let go of his mouth and coiled up, as if he was resting slowly, and after a while he bit the toe of his other foot, and sucked it in for a while, and then he slid down to the ground as if he had lost some strength, and swam towards me weakly, but he didn't even have the strength to coil my wrist, and only bent into a plate next to the mat, and stopped moving.
The medical officer quickly put the medicine into the bowl of water and said, "This poisonous snake is not from our palace, and Egypt has never seen such a poisonous snake!" Your Majesty Isis, this must be an assassin's tactic. β
I asked, "Do you know where this snake is?" β
"It looks like a poisonous snake from Bittado, and it's very venomous."
Bitado?
I turned my head and instructed Unas: "If the assassins can sneak in and release snakes, presumably people have not fled far, immediately put the whole city under martial law, and the assassins must be searched!" Also, I don't know how many snakes they brought in, and told the palace slaves and palace maids to be careful, and asked the snake slaves in the palace to look for other poisonous snakes scurrying around in the palace. Inform General Tatanru and Prime Minister Imhodeb to come to me at once to discuss the matter! β
Memphis was lifted to lie on my bed, and I sat on the side, watching the medical officer give him his medicine, and when I saw Carole's standing on the side, I suddenly remembered something.
"Kyrol, come here."
She walked up to me, "What's the call for me?" β
I thought for a moment, "I want to ask, do you have a cure for snake venom?" β
She looked embarrassed: "Originally...... I've been bitten by a snake before, and I'm carrying oral pills that have a similar effect to serum. But...... But I came here all of a sudden, and I don't know where I left it......"
My heart sank: "Think about it, where might you have lost it?" β
Modern targeted drugs are more natural and effective than the current herbs and powders, and there are many symptoms, although little Kim has taken drugs, but ...... What if something goes wrong......
She said, "After I was brought back to the palace by King Memphis, I couldn't find it, and I ...... I can't tell where it will fall. β
I sighed, this was not the same as the plot in the book. ...... in the book I remember that Memphis changed her face and became affectionate for her, after she used the antidote to wake him up. However, what Cairol said also has a point, she has been in a mess these days, who knows where a small pill will be lost?
Tasha listened to her and I was surprised at first, but now she looked disappointed.
"Forget it, you go and rest."
Is this not a man's calculation as good as heaven's? Memphis is poisoned just like in the original book, but Carole's antidote is missing.
"Your Majesty Isis!" The medical officer suddenly spoke, I was startled, stood up and turned my head: "What's wrong?" What happened to Memphis? β
"Your Majesty! Pharaoh has begun to get better! β
I just felt as if something was rushing up my throat and asked, "You're not mistaken, are you?" β
"No, absolutely not," the medical officer rubbed his hands, "Pharaoh's face has improved, his hands and feet were cold just now, but his body was hot, and now the temperature is normal." β
I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that tonight was more exciting than riding a roller coaster, with the ups and downs, Tasha said again and again on the side that I was grateful to God Amun for his blessings, I rarely pray sincerely to the gods, and now I whispered thank God twice in my heart. Turning his head and seeing Xiao Jin on the side, he really thanked him.
The palace maid came in to report that General Tatanru and Prime Minister Imkhodb had arrived. I nodded, "Okay, I'll go see them," but when I tried to get up, my legs were too weak to hold up, so I had to say, "Forget it, invite them in." β
The medical officer on the side had already made a large bowl of soup and medicine for Memphis to pour down. Although I didn't know much about medicine, I could see that his face had indeed improved, and his breathing was soothing and deeper than before, not as subtle and short as when the poison was brought in.
The two men almost rushed in, Tatanlu was a general, but Imhodbu was usually sophisticated and calm, and it was the first time he had seen such an anxious situationβthe two men did not even bother to salute me, and threw themselves in front of Memphis's bed.
"It doesn't matter, the doctor said he's slowly getting better." I took Tasha's hand and used her strength to get to her feet. Idhombu turned to me and saluted: "Yes, we are worried about the Pharaoh, it is rude, please don't mind Your Majesty Isis. β
"No, I was in a hurry to die just now, and I'm no better than you." I said, and motioned for the palace man to come over with a gold plate, which contained the snake's head that had been cut in half.
"As the medical officer said just now, this snake is not in the palace, or even in Egypt."
Tatan's beard was about to turn up: "So bold! How dare you plot to assassinate my Pharaoh of Egypt! Who the hell are the assassins? β
I shook my head and said, "The assassin hasn't caught it yet, but the doctor said it should be Bittado." β
"Bitado?" Imkhodb had just said three words when he was interrupted by Tatanru: "Damn Bittado barbarians......"
"General," I had to cease his growl. It is true that he is Sinuyeh's uncle, but he is far less calm than the young Sinuyeh. This person is absolutely brave on the battlefield and is a fierce general. It's a pity that scheming is his weakness, so this person is just a general, and it is impossible to be a marshal-type figure of the unified army.
"The serpent is more than Taido, but the assassin is not necessarily Bitaido. Egypt and Bitado are separated by a distant sea, and their geography and customs are very different, and the benefits of King Bitado for us are far less than his annexation of the surrounding small tribes and small countries. Imhodeb, what do you think? β
"His Majesty Isis is right, whether it was done by the Beatids, and the Assassin can only be determined after the assassin is caught. Pharaoh is safe and sound, and it is a blessing for Egypt. Her Majesty Isis is also injured, so it is not advisable to work too hard. The affairs of the palace, Tasha has to worry a lot. β
Tasha bowed down and promised, "Yes, I will do my best." β
"Clear the palace and strengthen the defense of the palace, since Sinuye is not there, you will be in charge of Unas."
Unas replied in a deep voice: "Yes." β
"General Tatanlu, the defense of the city, as well as the martial law of the whole city, and the arrest of the assassins, you have to worry more!"
"You just have to rest assured! I'm going to catch those assassins one by one, skin them and cut them off!" β
Idhombu said gently: "That's up to you, just ask for a confession first, find out the origin, and then it's not too late to kill." β
I nodded, turned my head to see the medical officer standing aside, and asked him, "How's it going?" β
"Pharaoh was covered in fishy sweat, and it was obvious that the poison had been removed." He said: "It's time to fall asleep now, drink more water, take more medicine, and I'm sure I'll get better soon." β
Everyone present showed relaxed expressions.
I said in a deep voice: "What needs to be guarded against now is not to be known by outsiders about the pharaoh's poisoning, in case anyone takes advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. Now we can't be sure where the assassins came from, and we don't know where the possible danger will come from, well, we have to send someone to inform Sinuyah, and Upper Egypt must also be on guard! β
Imhodbu bowed his head and agreed: "Your Majesty Isis is right, so let it be ordered." Tomorrow's proceedings will be taken by me, and Pharaoh's situation cannot be revealed to anyone else for the time being. β
"It's fine."
Sending them away, I was so tired that I almost fell apart.
Tasha hurriedly supported me: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it doesn't matter to you! β
"It's okay......"
It's just that my shoulder hurts like a fire, and I don't have any strength at all.
The medical officer hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, let's rest quickly, you are already seriously injured, and you have worked hard for half a day, which is not good for your health." β
"I don't have anything either, just rest......"
Tasha asked someone to clean up another bed for me, but I just felt that I couldn't stand, my feet were like a pile of cotton, and I leaned to the side of the bed and didn't want to move anymore.
