Chapter 10: Conspiracy
Before dawn the next day, the door of my room was unceremoniously pushed open, and I was still in a light sleep, and I only felt that someone had dragged me out of bed, such a big hand, such a rude way, I suddenly woke up a lot, who else but Ramses here!
"Ramses, don't go too far." I shook his hand away and rubbed my sleepy eyes.
With a smile on his lips, he didn't speak, threw a cloak on me, took my hand and dragged it out.
"Hey, you're welcome if you don't stop."
"Don't make trouble, I'll take you out of the palace."
"Out of the palace?"
"Yes."
"But, I haven't washed my face yet!"
"It's okay, I don't care."
"But I care, ahh Bastard, let it go! ”
"I'll kiss you if you talk again!"
“……”
In the end, he was dragged to the stable in great frustration, and was fished into the horse while yawning.
His arms were tightly wrapped around me, and I heard his powerful heartbeat again, and I couldn't help but turn my head to look at him, his black hair was flying in the wind, and his deep eyes shone with joy, and when I looked at him, he seemed to be aware of my gaze, and the corners of his mouth were raised, and he quickly lowered his head and kissed me in the hairline. My face was hot, and I immediately turned my head away, not daring to look at him again.
After about ten minutes, the horse stopped.
"Here we are." His warm breath squirted down my neck.
Only then did I see everything in front of me, a round of the morning sun was rising from the sky, and in an instant, it radiated a thousand rays of light, reflecting on the winding Nile River, as if sprinkled with brilliant gold in the sky, and the turquoise Nile water was sparkling, making people want to reach out and fish a few times.
I quickly jumped off my horse, ran to the river, reached out and picked up a handful of water, the river was clear and transparent, shining in the sun, naturally, I lowered my head and took a sip, the cold river water with a faint earthy smell.
"Look, Ramses, does it look like gold?" I picked up another handful of water and held it up in the sun for him to see.
Looking up, Ramses, bathed in the sun, seemed to be shining brightly, and I couldn't open my eyes.
He walked up to me, took my hand, bent down, and drank directly from my hand.
"Ramses?" I whispered, his warm lips touching my palm, tickling, I tried to withdraw my hand, but he held it tighter.
"You know, Hidden, whoever has drunk the water of the Nile will return to Egypt no matter how far away from Egypt is?" He smiled brightly, "Still, I won't let you out of Egypt." ”
My good mood disappeared all at once, and I only felt a panic in my heart.
One day, will I go back to Egypt?
=======================
In my apprehension, the days flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the eve of the wedding.
I'm really a little confused now, I know very well that I'm not going to marry him, but my mission hasn't been completed yet, what should I do? It can't be delayed any longer.
While I was thinking about it, a lady-in-waiting opened the door, and I recognized her, who was the lady-in-waiting of Queen Nephiltali. She looked flustered and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" I wondered if anything happened to the queen, shouldn't the Sparrow Spirit report it immediately?
"Miss Yin, Queen She, Queen She's gone." She whispered.
"What?" I frowned, "No way, did you look for it?" ”
"It's true, I've looked for it all, and by the way, I seem to have heard the queen say that she was going to some temple to ask God for God's blessing for the king's wedding. Could it be ......? ”
Did Nephilthali go to the temple? So...... No way...... I didn't think much of it in my mind, and said, "You stay here first, and I'll go to the temple right now." ”
Along the way, I rode my horse and galloped, but one mystery after another floated in my heart, why didn't my finch spirit move? Why did Nephiltali's maid say that she should have understood that Nephilthali must have disliked me. And what she said seemed to hear the queen's words, didn't she know the queen's whereabouts? Why do you need to do all this?
Although I am full of suspicions, no matter what, just in case, I still go and see for myself that it is safer, and she can't play any tricks.
After a short time I arrived at the temple, I dismounted and walked towards the temple. The whole temple seemed to be very quiet, and there was no sound at all.
I walked slowly into the depths until I reached the front of the idol of Amun. I looked around, and there was neither a queen nor a Priest Feck.
I stood still for a moment, and began to call out to my sparrow, but there was no movement. A sense of foreboding passed through my heart, could it be that the spirit of the Sparrow had been discovered?
Just as I was about to try it a second time, a cold voice came from behind me: "The birds you placed next to me and Nephilali, I've taken them out." ”
I was shocked, and when I looked back, it was Priest Feketi.
He took a few steps in my direction, and in the dim light I could see a strange look on his face.
"Priest Fecqueti, where's the Queen?" I asked in the calmest way I could.
"Nephiltali, she'll be here later." An elusive look flashed in his eyes.
There's a strange atmosphere here, since Nephilthali isn't here, there's no point in me staying any longer, wait, why isn't it a surprise that Fekti saw me, as if he knew I'd come, right......
"In that case, I'll go first." It's better to get out of here, I was just about to leave, but suddenly I saw Fekti stop in front of me, and quickly stretched out his hand to hug me, and he didn't know what kind of witchcraft was on his hand, and I couldn't get rid of it for a while.
"Fekti, what are you doing!" I scolded.
He didn't speak, but his expression was even more strange, he lowered his head and whispered in my ear, "For her sake, I don't even want my life." ”
Before I could fully understand the meaning of this sentence, I crossed his shoulder and saw a man with a horsewhip in his hand, with long black hair and a handsome face, but the anger in his eyes seemed to be pouring out, and they were a pair of burning eyes.
Ramses, how could he be here?
I guess I kind of understand what Fekti means.
=============
"Smack!" A whip slammed into Fekti's body.
"Let her go!" Ramses' voice was out of control, his hand shaking, and he was whipping again.
"King, please forgive me, but Yin and I have long liked each other, even if you are the king, you shouldn't force her to marry you!" I couldn't react to Fekti's words, I just looked into his eyes, and I couldn't see a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Tomorrow she will be your princess, we really shouldn't have a tryst at this time, but ......"
"Shut up!" Ramses' face grew bluer and bluer, as if he was reaching his limit.
Every word Fekti said seemed to be trying to provoke Ramses, and I understood that he was trying to drag me into the water, to frame me with this trick, and he had set a trap with Nephilthali with his own life, a trap that was not very clever but quite effective.
"Come on, pull Fekti out for me, tie him up in the desert, burn him alive, and put my falcons there!" Ramses roared.
"Don't!" I've blurted out, how can this be? How could Fekti find this tragic result because of me? Could it be that my presence has changed something'' must not let him die like this, my mission must not fail.
As soon as the word "don't" came out, Ramses's face was no longer ordinary ugly, he rushed over with an arrow, pinched my wrist and said, "You really care about him, do you really like him?" ”
"Ramses, calm down!" I said aloud, my eyes inadvertently glancing over Fekti, a strange smile flashing across his face.
"King, king, do not be angry." A beautiful woman ran in from outside the door panting, "Wang, you are so fast, I can't keep up with you." ”
The corners of my mouth lifted slightly, and sure enough, it was Nephilari and Feke's game.
"Queen, the priest is going to be sunburned alive, no, he will be hunted by a falcon, it's so terrifying." I raised an eyebrow slightly, wanting to see how she reacted.
Her face changed suddenly, and she looked up quickly to meet Fekti's gaze, and a look of indescribability seemed to flash in her eyes, and she quickly looked at Ramses.
I saw her shoulders trembling slightly, she didn't seem so ruthless, maybe she thought he would die, but she didn't think it was such a cruel death.
The more I intercede now, the more I anger Ramses, and it is better for someone else to intercede. Looking at the relationship between Nephilthali and Fekti, it seems that it is not so simple, if you want to save Fekti, then Nefithali is the only breakthrough.
Otherwise, take a gamble.
"Ramses, I don't like Fekti, on the contrary, I have a better suggestion. In our country, there are many ways to deal with sinners, ah, there is a kind of called Ling Chi, which is to cut thousands of knives on a person's body until he breathes, and there are five horses to divide the corpse, just hearing this name is very terrifying. ”
Ramses looked at me in amazement, as if he didn't believe that this was coming from my mouth, surprised and confused.
Nefitali's face had long since turned blue, and she couldn't help but glance up at Fekti, a look of fear flashing in her eyes. Fekti tilted his head to the side and looked into the distance.
"It wasn't enough, and he couldn't get eternal life." I added.
"King, although Priest Fekti is at fault, he will not be treated so cruelly." Nephilthali finally couldn't help but say something.
"It's not cruel, if he's wrong." I looked at Nephiltali, "Queen, are you right?" ”
Nephilthali stared straight at me, and for a moment, then at Fekti, and there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes. Looking at me again, there was helplessness in her eyes.
"King, perhaps Priest Feketi is confused for a moment." Her voice, though soft, was undoubtedly the most uplifting thing to me.
Ramses still had a cold face and said, "No matter what, after all, he made such an impudent act, and I can't spare him." ”
"He can't be blamed for that." I glanced at Fekti and said, "That's why he did that because he was tricked into witchcraft." ”
"Witchcraft?" Ramses asked in surprise.
"Yes, otherwise how would he dare to do such a thing to me, and say something crazy about me and him liking each other." I didn't hurry and said, in order to save him, I could only tell a lie.
Fekti also looked at me in disbelief, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Nephiltali's gaze. Don't talk anymore. Her eyes meant it.
Fekti's expression changed constantly, and there were tears in his eyes as he stared at Nephiltali. His joy must have been for Nephiltali's unbearable.
Ramses's face had softened, he glanced at Fekti and said, "Fekti, although you have lost your mind because of witchcraft, you have been subjected to witchcraft so easily, and you have lost your qualification as a priest, and from today onwards, stay away from my Egypt and never come back." “
Fekti didn't say anything, just a quick glance at Nephiltali. "Fekti, don't be attached anymore, some people, some things, if you miss it, you will miss it, just put it in your heart. Maybe one day when I think about it again, I will only laugh at it. I whispered.
He gave me a complicated look and walked slowly out of the hall. "Queen, go back too." Ramses said suddenly, but his eyes were fixed on me.
I watched Nephilali's back disappear outside the temple, and suddenly I felt that she was not as ruthless as I thought, and if it weren't for her little patience today, I'm afraid things would have been much more tricky. In the years to come, Ramses will definitely love her more and more, thinking of this, my heart began to threak again. "Hidden, I almost blamed you just now." His eyes were as pure as Nile water.
"Will the king of Upper and Lower Egypt, the son of Amun, the sun god, also have times when he misjudges?" I glanced sideways at him.
He laughed and said, "Anyone who falls in love will be blind at times, even the son of God. ”
Love, hearing these words, my heart jumped.
"Anyway, there's no way I'm going to like Priest Fecque," I whispered, glancing quickly at Ramses, who was smiling at the corners of his mouth, and said the second half of the sentence in a rambling voice, "because, because I'm not interested in bald heads at all." ”
Ramses was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, and he stepped forward and hugged me tightly into his arms, "My princess, you are so lovely! ”
I could feel the slight vibration of his body from laughter, the palm leaves mixed with the smell of sunlight coming from his body, this chest, it was really a bit nostalgic......
"Tomorrow, tomorrow you will be my Ramses' wife." His voice suddenly deepened, with a faint hint of excitement.
My heart sank again, my mission was accomplished, then, tonight, tonight, I should get out of here......
It's time to say goodbye, Egypt, and what I love - Egypt.
