The walls of the hall are so deep that you can't hear the sound from the outside. Only the people watching us at the door, the sound of their breathing.

My heart seemed to be being slowly pinched by a hand, getting heavier and more painful.

I'm really sorry for Memphis, he's just left, and I can't protect the throne he left behind. I don't care about kingship, but I care about Memphis's care.

Foreign enemies are not terrible, but ...... The thief is the most terrifying. Sinouye had been with Memphis since he was a child, and he knew everything about Mephis. That's why the Assassins he arranged were able to inflict heavy damage on Memphis at the last moment, to lure me into a trap now, and to deploy troops in an orderly manner......

It can be said that he has a high chance of success. Memphis's guards were loyal only to him, but now Memphis was gone. It's the same with the official system in the city, if Idhombu is alive, of course it will be difficult for Sinuye to defeat him, but Idhombu is not there. Even if others want to resist, but they don't have the strength to resist, and what is very fatal is that if Sinuye spreads the news that Memphis is dead, and Memphis has no children, then it is not impossible for him, who holds the military power, to establish himself as a pharaoh!

What about Immorton? I just felt chills all over my body as I sat there.

Immorton will definitely find out about this coup, but Sinuye also knows about his existence, and he will not let Immorton go.

Is Immorton going to die for me one more time? No, no, it won't! Immorton said that as long as my love remains, as long as I don't die, he won't die!

Thinking about this, I feel a little more at ease.

Lady Tasha knelt at my feet, her face showing no tears, a strong and calm woman who had gone through many changes.

"Ma'am."

I put my hand on the back of her hand: "I'm tired of you." ”

"No, Your Majesty, I will definitely protect Your Majesty!" Tasha's voice was low, but firm: "Whoever wants to hurt you must first step over my corpse." ”

I patted her hand: "It's not that bad. He won't kill me...... Keep me, it will be of more use to him. I smiled coldly. In this world, there is really nothing that cannot be betrayed and betrayed. The absence of betrayal is not enough just the price of temptation.

Sinuye had been loyal before, but for the sake of the position of pharaoh, he finally made such a decision.

I always thought he was credible......

I was wrong.

I whispered, "Tasha, you go tell those people to go outside the door and keep guard, there is only one door here, they don't have to worry about us escaping." ”

Tasha wiped away her tears and nodded.

Although I was watched, but the dignity of the queen was still there, the leader hesitated, Tasha said a few more words, and the man was finally moved, and led the people out of the palace, and then closed the door.

When Tasha came back I asked her what she had said to the man, and she hesitated and whispered that if Sinuya succeeded, he would marry me as a princess. If he doesn't, then he shouldn't offend me. Tasha has been in the palace for so many years, and these words are indeed very pertinent. I also guessed that it would be in Sinuye's great favor if the coup d'Γ©tat was successful, and then spread the news of his marriage to me.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to ......," Tasha asked in a puzzled whisper.

The corners of my mouth curled and I didn't answer.

Although the royal palace of Memphis is not like that of Minoa, there is a labyrinth of all directions underground, but there is no shortage of those secret passages in Egypt.

In this side hall, I remember that there was a secret door, and along an underground passage, it could lead to the palace wall.

I gotta get out!

I only knew it existed, but I never opened it. If I'm not mistaken, the mechanism to open the door should be under the fourth pillar counted from the left.

I asked Tasha to help me watch the movement outside the door, and I slowly groped behind the pillars myself.

One of the carved sheets wrapped around the pillar could be loosened, and I removed the plank lightly and silently, and reached for a round handle.

What I hesitate now is that when this mechanism is opened, I don't know if there is a sound. If so...... That wouldn't have cost me my life.

You can only gamble on it.

I slowly turned the handle, and I could hear the subtle sounds of a coercive sound in the pillar and under the floor. Tasha alertly guarded the wind by the door, and quickly turned her head from time to time to make sure what was going on in the door.

My nervousness seemed to stop beating, but the subtle sound of the mechanism didn't get louder. In the middle of the side hall, a smooth stone slab with no gaps slowly sinks downward, revealing a swarthy hole.

It's done!

I breathed a sigh of relief, I just felt that the strength in my hand was draining so quickly, in fact, that mechanism was not particularly heavy, because there must be other mechanism winches or even stone gears or something like that, which played the role of a lever, and the reason why I feel now is purely because of nervousness.

I waved to Tasha, she walked briskly, I pointed to the hole that was exposed, Tasha understood, we walked over, under the stone cave is a sloping staircase, I don't know how deep, and you can't see it down, it's too dark.

"Your Majesty......" Tasha's voice was low, the volume of a whisper: "Where does this tunnel lead?" ”

"Let's go down first, and we'll talk about the rest slowly."

There were still two bronze lamps on the wall of the side hall that had not been extinguished, and Tasha took one and held it in her hand, so that I could not refute it, and went down first. Then he turned around and held out a hand to help me.

In fact, she doesn't have to be so careful, I am younger than her in terms of age, and I am better than her in terms of physical strength and skill.

By the light of the bronze lamp, I walked down the stairs step by step, and then the stone shaft on the wall was flipped and the stone slab above my head slowly closed again. It's a tunnel that's not too high, you have to bend down slightly to stand here, and it's also very narrow, so it's hard for two people to walk in parallel, so you can only walk forward one after the other.
