I felt like my whole body was falling apart, but I couldn't fall down, and there were a lot of tricky things to do. Now that Memphis is gone, I realize how much work he used to have, and he really couldn't handle it without his extraordinary courage and energy.
Immorton asked me to take advantage of the opportunity to rest before dinner was delivered, and as soon as I lay on the couch, I felt tired everywhere, and I was paralyzed from exhaustion, and I could no longer stand up.
I've seen a saying before that if you want to be a wise and promising ruler in this kind of centralized slave society and feudal society, then most of the end will be exhausted. If you want to be happy, you don't have one. The TV series is very misleading, it makes people feel that the emperor seems to be able to accompany the concubine to sleep with the beauty as much as he wants.
How is this possible? Memphis can't leave Memphis at will, unless he leads the troops out, so that even if someone in Memphis has any idea, he can go back and put troops and horses to eliminate all these uneasy factors one by one.
What about later?
In the future, if there is no Memphis, will I have to pick up these decisions, these plans, this incomparably heavy burden?
I gently covered my face and shrunk up.
Immorton's footsteps rang out, and he walked in from the outside. He paused when he got to the couch, and I turned my head slowly, and I didn't open my eyes, but whispered, "I'm not asleep." ”
He sat down on the edge of the couch and reached out to gently squeeze my hand.
I really wanted to lie down again, but I still managed to open my eyes: "What's the matter?" ”
"Sinouye is here."
"Oh......" I said, "let him in." ”
Immorton said, "Don't get up, let him talk outside the curtain." ”
The copper lamp had been lit, and the fan-shaped copper leaves were polished as smooth as a mirror, and Sinuye was standing outside the pale golden curtain, and my voice could not be raised: "There is no need to salute, if you have something to say, just say it." ”
"Three more Assassins were caught in the place where the Libyan envoys lived, but the Libyan envoys refused to admit that they were their men. Moreover, there were indeed quite a few of them, and the Assassins had already tried them and refused to confess. ”
I lazily said, "No, I'll kill the Libyans at their doorstep." ”
"Kill them in front of them?"
"Yes." I paused and said, "Something else, right?" Go on. ”
Sinuye hesitated: "The Pharaoh's injuries, the medical officers do not know the whereabouts, and Lord Idhombu is also very concerned......"
I sighed and sat up on the bed: "Memphis has been escorted away. ”
Sinuye asked unexpectedly, "Left?" Where did it go? ”
I'd also like to know where Memphis is now.
Is he alive? Did he and Carol cross the gate of time and go to another world?
"He can't come back for a while, if there is anything, I'll discuss it with Idhombu and you, and the three of us will make an idea. The stand-in I used today is not very good, I remember that there are two people in the palace to spare, one of whom has been used as a stand-in for Memphis and has been to the temple once, and the other is what you have been taking care of, right? Bring him here, these three will have to take turns on this errand from now on.
It is extremely dangerous to replace one person, and not many. When Memphis found out that the man looked like him, he did not hesitate to order the man to be turned into a eunuch. Go to its momentum and keep its life, and when necessary, you can use it as a stand-in to lure the enemy and confuse the enemy, and sometimes it can be used for other purposes. But this one is very timid, and he has never been allowed to do such a thing before. But then it was different...... I'm afraid that among these three similar-looking stand-ins, the most important and most important affairs have to be done by this eunuch Xiaoxi.
It is precisely because he is a eunuch, because he is timid that he has no other assistance, that he has to arrange it this way.
"Lift the curtains, it's time for me to eat."
Tasha came over and asked the slave girls to open the curtains, her eyes red. Although she didn't know where she sent Mafiz away, she also knew that it must be a place where it must be bad luck and bad luck, and it would be difficult to come back if she went. Memphis was brought up by her since she was a child, and Tasha's affection and love for him, I'm afraid that she is the deepest in this palace except for me.
"Your Majesty Isis, you need to eat something......" she turned her head away, and quickly wiped away her tears, "I made a lot of your favorite food today." ”
I looked at the dishes on the table, and saw that Nishitoriya was also tired, and Immorton was standing aside. I smiled wryly and said, "I can't eat these alone, so let's all sit down and eat together." In the past two days, I'm afraid I haven't eaten much or slept much, right? Tasha, you sit down too. ”
"Your Majesty, don't break the palace rules." Tasha took a step back: "You and Sinuye, as well as Lord Immorton, must have something important to discuss, I will go outside and watch, and no idle people are allowed to approach." ”
She stumbled and quickly retreated. I pointed to the two chairs on the left and right: "It's a very good time, you guys should sit down too, don't pay so much attention to it." ”
Immorton smiled and sat down on his left. Sinouye looked at him deeply, hesitated, and sat down on his right.
"Okay, I know you're suspicious of something right now, so I'll talk about it. Memphis he's afraid...... I can't come back. The things in front of us and the things in the future have to be discussed and handled. I don't have anyone he can do, and I don't know as much about military affairs as you do. Tomorrow, I'll invite Idhombu to come over and discuss the future. For now, we must keep this secret and let the messengers leave separately, so as not to cause more disturbances. There are few countries and tribes around us who don't have a decision, the weak ones are worried about being swallowed up by us, and the strong ones are plotting against us. If the news of Memphis's absence spreads, not only will our own minds be in turmoil, but I am afraid that they will take advantage of the situation and attack him en masse, which is also very likely. ”
Sinuye's face was gloomy and he nodded heavily.
I picked up the bowl and looked at the milky white boiled rice porridge inside: "Okay, let's eat my stomach first, I'm so hungry that I don't feel anything." ”
As I said this, the two men only looked at each other, and neither of them moved.
