Aegeus and Medea consulted for a while, when suddenly another palace guard came in to report it.

"Your Majesty, there is a stranger out there who wants to see you. ”

Aegeus was in a state of rage, and he felt angry when he heard the stranger.

"No, let him get out of here!"

......

"Stranger, the king doesn't want to receive you, so leave quickly. ”

The young man who had come from the distant kingdom of Trozen suddenly frowned, he had come here with the wishes of his grandfather and mother, how could he be turned away by a light word?

The young man suddenly stooped down and took off the spotless sandals on his feet.

"I beg you to pass it on to King Aegeus, and if he remembers it, ask him to come to-morrow evening in the woods outside the eastern gates. ”

After the young man finished speaking, he turned to leave barefoot.

The guard only felt ridiculous, you took off a pair of shoes from your feet, and asked me to show them to the king?

The guard was about to pick up the shoes and throw them away, when he suddenly felt a little heavy in his hand.

"It's ......"

......

The guard hurried in again, holding a pair of sandals.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty ...... King"

"What's so frizzy!"

Aegeus was displeased.

"Your Majesty, the stranger just now is gone, but he left behind a pair of shoes. ”

Aegeus was about to curse when the guard presented his shoes to him.

"Your Majesty, look, these shoes are actually made of gold!"

"What's wrong with gold? ...... gold"

Aegeus was furious, and was about to scold the guard with his head and face, but his eyes accidentally swept over the shoes and suddenly stopped.

These shoes, a little familiar?

Medea was standing aside with Medos in her arms, originally preparing to endure Aegeus's angry scolding, but when she suddenly saw him stop again, she couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

"Your Majesty?"

Aegeus came back to his senses, his face suddenly a little strange, he opened his mouth to ask the guard something, but stopped first.

"Medea, if it's okay, you can go back first, I'm fine. ”

"Your Majesty, I think you seem to have encountered some difficulties, or I ......"

"No, no, you can go back quickly!"

Aegeus interrupted Medea impatiently, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little agitated.

Aegeus coughed, calmed down and explained: "I'm really fine, you take Medos back first, so as not to accidentally blow the wind here again." ”

Medea bowed her head and saluted, "Then I'll leave first." ”

But a trace of doubt and coldness flashed in his eyes, and Aegeus seemed to have something to hide from him?

Medea carried Medos back to her dormitory, but her face turned cold uncontrollably.

Although he entered the royal palace of Athens and gave birth to an heir for the king, Aegeus had no intention of making himself queen.

Medea also knew that because of her bad background, it was normal for Aegeus to have such and such concerns, and she had no intention of dwelling on this.

Aegeus naturally knew this, so the big and small things in the palace were never hidden from her.

On the one hand, let Medea assist in the management of the palace and divide the rights to her, which is Aegeus's compensation for not being able to make her queen, and on the other hand, Medea is also allowed to intervene in political affairs, and Aegeus also has his own considerations.

Aegeus didn't live long, he knew that.

When Medea came to the royal palace of Athens, she made a potion for Aegus that would restore people to their youth and give birth to children, and she said that this would come at the cost of life.

When Aegeus drank the medicine, he knew that he didn't have a few years to live, and he was already old, and it would be a lot of blood for Aegeus to live a few years less to change his son.

Aegeus and Medea said that when he died, Murdos may be too young to sit on the throne, and Medea will learn more about these government affairs so that she can help Medows in the future.

Aegeus can be said to trust Medea very much, and has never hidden anything from her in the past few years.

But today Aegeus is obviously in trouble, and it doesn't seem to be a trivial matter, but he refuses to tell Medea, which has to make Medea suspicious.

Medea returned to the dormitory, first carefully put Medus on the bed, and then turned back to the maid and said, "The palace guard who went to see the king just now, let him go to the back door of the palace garden tonight, and tell him that he must wait there before the moon comes out!"

The maid answered, and was about to leave, when Medea said, "Tell him that the king is not to know about this!"

"Yes, ma'am. ”

......

When the moon rose at night, Medea stood in a dark corner behind the garden in a black cloak.

In front of her, the guard was kneeling on the ground during the day.

Although the king also instructed him not to tell these words, when the famous Lady Medea stood in front of him, he had no choice but to reveal the truth.

"So, His Majesty has decided to meet the young man tomorrow night?"

"Yes, Lady Medea. ”

"What else did Your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty instructed me not to tell anyone, including ...... Including you!"

"Hehe, I see. ”

Medea turned to leave, and the guards followed suit, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.

He looked around vigilantly and saw that there was no one around, and the guards quickly left.

Although Medea didn't say a word of warning, he naturally knew what to say and what not to say.

The next evening, Aegeus went out with his guards, but as he was leaving, he suddenly asked the ladies of the palace.

"Where's Lady Medea?"

"Madame will go back to the dormitory in the afternoon, and she should be resting now, do you want to see her?"

"Nope. Aegeus waved his hand, since Medea was in the palace, it would be fine.

Four tall guards escorted Aegeus towards the eastern gates of Athens.

The most prosperous of the four gates of Athens is the north gate, which has twelve gates, because almost all the people who come to Athens in the land of Achaea take the north gate.

And people on overseas islands often take the South City Gate, because the South City Gate is close to the port and convenient.

And the rest are the more sparsely populated things.

The West Gate often has to share the flow of people from the North Gate, especially pedestrians from the Peloponnese, who prefer to take the West Gate.

Therefore, relatively speaking, the East City Gate, which is obviously stronger than the West City Gate, has the least number of people.

Coming to the edge of the grove, Aegeus waved his hand and said, "You wait here, and I'll go in by myself." ”

One of the guards hurriedly stopped him, "Your Majesty, this is too dangerous, at least let one of us accompany you in." ”

"No need, you guys stay here and don't let people in. ”
