"I don't want to see her." What if you see it? Listen to that woman curse me again, and listen to her nonsense again?

Idhombu must have known the news, although he didn't say anything, but he seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, and the lines at the corners of his mouth and eyes, which usually looked wise and modest, were now full of tiredness and old age.

He's not young anymore, he's already in his fifties. In Egypt at this time, being in our fifties is equivalent to our modern life expecting to be in our seventies. At this time, people generally do not live long, and the average life expectancy is about forty or fifty years old. This is not a complete statistic, and if you count the slaves who died of fatigue and malnutrition at a young age, and the number of people who died and were displaced by war and famine, the average figure is much lower.

He is very old, and he is busy with a lot of things every day, and his two sons, one died of illness a few years ago, and the other is in the army, and he has been stationed in the field all the year round and does not come back. Hordia was the child who had been with him the longest, and he had a young daughter who also seemed to be married. Although he also has wives and concubines, he ......

"Prime Minister, has he been to the prison to see it?"

"Nope."

It seems that he is also discouraged and let go......

It's just that he is also sad in his heart, right? After all, it's the biological daughter who has always been loved.

"Memphis, what do you say?"

"Lord Idhombu went to plead guilty, because after the last time Hordia exchanged news with the Bittados, the Prime Minister found out that she loved His Majesty Pharaoh in her heart, and had some restless thoughts, but he did not know that she had already collaborated with the enemy and did something like a spy, so at that time he quickly found someone and married her off. I thought she was married, and her delusions should be dispelled, but I didn't want to ......"

"The human heart is very strange, sometimes, it changes very quickly, and sometimes, but it can't be forgotten." I gently stroked the little gold on my wrist: "For the sake of Idhombu's sake, after the confession is over, leave her a whole corpse." ”

Whether it is ancient China or ancient Egypt, they all attached great importance to corpses. In our ancient impression, people with incomplete bodies were not accepted by the underworld, and could only be lonely ghosts. The same is true in Egypt, otherwise why would the mummy be done with a complete body?

"Yes."

I turned my head to look at him and noticed that he had strips of cloth tied around his wrists.

"What's wrong with the hand?"

"Well, I accidentally got hurt."

I paused for a moment and whispered, "Take care of yourself and take care of yourself." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty Xie cares."

I nodded, and he stepped back.

There are three days left, and it is the day of the festival.

That is, weddings......

In my past and present lives, this is my second wedding.

Previous ...... The last time, I almost can't even remember.

Oh, that wedding and this one thing in common.

The person I got married to was my half-brother. The wedding was just a trap, and everyone fell into it, including the person who set it.

In the end, it was a lose-lose situation, on my side, I died. On his side, his mother died.

Is...... I couldn't help but smile wryly.

Am I destined to marry my brother?

It was like that last time, and it's still like this time.

But......

The last wedding, it failed.

And this time?

I don't know, no one can guarantee an unknown future.

I think Memphis has almost made the gesture of going to war to prepare for this marriage.

It should go well, right?

I changed the gown and wore it as usual. The weather was very hot and humid, and from a distance, the air floated and rose, and the scenery blurred and distorted.

In previous years, this time of year is not so hot, it is the hottest time of the year, and it seems to be like that.

How can it be so hot? Hot people sit there and have a feeling of shortness of breath. I feel like I'm used to the Egyptian weather, but now I feel as if the water in my body is being steamed out, and the air that comes out is hotter and drier.

"Slaves over there in the quarry, these two days must be ......"

The palace people whispered in the corner.

Yes, I know. Even here is hot and dry, and the slaves who toiled under the scorching sun, without water and shade, I am afraid ...... I am afraid that the vitality will be quickly dried up by the sun.

"Tell the quarries and other slave-heavy workshops to rest these two days." I said to Memphis at dinner, "If there is anything to do, I am not in a hurry to finish it in these two days." If this continues, I am afraid that the losses will be far greater than the gains. ”

"Okay, I'll order the people in charge of that side later." Memphis snorted and poured down the rotten rice porridge: "It's so hot, it's really annoying." I don't know what happened upstream, if the water doesn't fall much, then this year's flooding ......"

Yes, Egypt is a large agricultural country that watches the sky and eats, and the farmland of Lower Egypt is concentrated on both sides of the Nile, and it is cultivated by the annual river flooding that brings the river soil that is silted and fertilized. I've used to make a waterwheel for irrigation, but it's hard to do it a little further away from the riverbank. If there is no rain upstream, the river will not flood as much as it used to......

Then the grain production will be greatly reduced, and the difficult famine year will bring many other catastrophes.

Memphis lifted his spirit and said: "Sister, the wedding is ready, don't worry about anything now, rest well, bathe and pray for blessings, and wait to be the bride!" ”

I forced a smile as Memphis put his hand on the back of my hand on the table, slowly clenching it.

"Sister, don't worry."

His gaze was clear and resolute: "Everything will be fine!" ”

"Yes......"

I replied, but when I turned my head to look at the night sky outside, I still had the feeling of danger, and together with the feeling that the hot air was about to catch fire, it felt like I was in a pit with no way out......

The crisis lies in the darkness that we cannot see, and the fact that it is not exposed now does not mean that it does not exist.
