Moon Wake Heyang

1 roll of gauze curtains, like golden wheat waves blowing down with the wind.

Anashiga came into view, and the woman was aiming at Xia Yuebai's horse with her bow and arrow, and Tusaxita shouted at her: "Don't shoot the arrow!"

His eyes were fixed, and his arms were slightly lowered. "If you don't kill it, it will never stop!"

"The speed of the horse is too fast. Once the arrow falls down, Yuebai will be thrown out. Put down the arrow!" The horse galloped at full speed like lightning, the moment the arrow fell, the impact of falling to the ground could Throwing the rider on its back for a distance of more than ten meters or even more, if it is a man with rich experience and strong body, it will be fine, and maybe he can find a way out in the process of rolling on the ground.

However, Xia Yuebai didn't have that ability.The moment she landed, she was seriously injured even if she wasn't dead.

"Then what should we do now?" Anashika asked loudly against the wind, raising his whip and riding his horse to follow behind them.At the same time, dozens of riders ran behind her, all of whom were officers from the two countries who had been hunting with them just now.

Just half an hourglass ago, when a guard rode his horse into the plain and came to Tusasita's side, before the horse stopped, he fell down and knelt down in front of her horse.

I was far away, and I didn't know what the guards said. I saw Tusasita's face suddenly froze in the distance, and suddenly galloped towards the direction of the camp. The speed was so fast that everyone was caught off guard and stunned. The pharaoh who watched them carefully left a group of people behind, and walked away with a gloomy expression.

People who have recovered, including themselves, chase after them with whips.An Egyptian general grabbed the collar of the messenger guard and asked about the situation. Only then did everyone know that the reason why the queen rushed away without saying a word was actually the foreign servant.

"Harness the horse's head and pull it to a stop." Tusasita undid the noose that hung on the saddle, which was prepared for hunting, but it was not expected to be used in this place.

"This is Hittite's horse. It is too strong, and several men may not be able to hold it." Anashika chased to the side of Tusasi Tower, her long chestnut hair flew behind her, breaking the sun's rays. Scorching light.

The fingers holding the rein tightened silently, and she knew that Anashika was right. Hittite horses not only have amazing endurance, but also have explosive power that other horse breeds can't match.

Suddenly, looking sideways at Xia Yuebai, at that moment, Tusasita frowned slightly, and the silent golden mottled in the pupil membranes bloomed again, like a gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky, magically gorgeous. "If you can't hold it back, it's okay to slow it down, come on!"

"What are you doing?" Anashika asked loudly, slightly startled.

Turning her head, she glanced at Anashika with her calm eyes that were covered with metallic luster. Her voice, which was calmer than her eyes, was blurred by the wind. "I'll take her away."

His eyes froze, and his dark red eyes flashed coldly. "It's not going to work, it's too dangerous, maybe you all--"

"Don't talk nonsense, go around there!" He said in a low voice, as if ordering.

Frowning, for a moment, lightly reined in the reins to slow down slightly, and ran to Xia Yuebai's left, and the three of them moved forward in a triangle.

Xia Yuebai didn't quite understand what they were talking about. His brain, which was emptied in the intense jolts and frights, couldn't analyze the two people's loud conversation into order.

Xia Yuebai anxiously glanced at Tusa Sita not far away, her hair ruffled by the strong wind flew across her cheeks, swept across her sore and swollen eye sockets, and blocked the panicked sight in her eyes.He tried his best to focus his eyes on the face blurred by the shaking sunlight, and in a short moment, there was a kind of extremely soft tingling pain in his heart when he was pricked by a needle.

"Yuebai." Turning his face to the side, he called out to her, and out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a sloping land in the distance. "Follow my orders, you know?"

Nodding his head, he wanted to speak, but his voice was blocked in his dry throat, and he couldn't even utter a word.

The wind blows yellow sand and fills the eyesight. The harder you try to see Tusasita's face clearly, the more you can't see her eyebrows and eyes clearly from the dim hustle and bustle that the sun can't pierce... Her outline is very blurred, but she The anxiety is so clear.

Losing the calm aura that lingered all day long, Tusasita at this moment was like a manic storm, those eyes that penetrated the misty sand and dust and bloomed with golden luster, and there was even a pair of eyes that were about to break through. The beast roared out of the membrane.

"Anashika, do it, quick!"

Huo Di, a thin shadow flew past Xia Yuebai's side, and without hesitation, it fell from the horse's head and wrapped it around its muscular neck.In an instant, the frightened horse neighed and galloped even harder.

The noose around her wrist was suddenly tightened, Anashika held the rein with one hand, and buckled the noose on her pommel with the other hand... For an instant, she hesitated.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as Tusasita does not cooperate in the dark, the horse will gallop down with Xia Yuebai, and even if the queen has the ability, it will be difficult to save Xia Yuebai in a short time.

However, as long as she uses her own strength a little, she can immediately end this thrilling chase.

Looking down, the bloody eyes reflected the noose tightly fastened on the pommel, and felt that the horse under him was being pulled forward by a force, which was the crazy momentum from the crazy horse in front.

For a moment, his hand was close to the rope, and he held it gently without exerting any force.

"Yuebai, let go of the reins!"

what did she say?It is suspected that the strong wind disrupted his hearing.Suddenly, with a pair of horrified black eyes, he stared blankly at Tusahita who was next to him.

Knowing what she was shocked, he rode his horse half a horse away from her. "Don't be afraid, listen to me and let go." Raising her eyebrows, she smiled. At this time, such a bright smile made people sigh. "It'll be fine, trust me."

Trembling, from breathing to heart, from eyes to hands.

Taking a deep breath, he stretched out his already numb fingers... The next second, a white figure blocked half of the scorching light, and Tusahita jumped up, pounced on Xia Yuebai's horrified gaze, and hugged her together. fell off the horse.

In an instant...falling, bumping, rolling...The image is distorted, the world is turned upside down, everything is spinning rapidly, chaotic and blurred in the horrified eyes.

The body is tightly fixed in the arms by a pair of strong arms, and the breath is Tusasita's breath as clean as the morning breeze, with untimely and inexplicable throbbing, as if it is the joy of reunion after a long absence for many years.

Xia Yuebai's body was entangled with Tusa Sita and continued to roll down the slope. The continuous rolling made Xia Yuebai dizzy. She clasped it tightly to her chest, and had to add some cushioning.

Finally, after the last flip, the overwhelming shock accompanied by cramping stomach pains, they stopped.

Backed by Xia Yuebai's violent ups and downs against the sweat-soaked chest that was barely warm, a strong and rapid heartbeat sounded like a drum, hitting Xia Yuebai's eardrum just regaining consciousness. ...Slowly opened her eyes, a strand of long, soft and dark hair was condensed by sweat around Tusasita's face, and met her trembling eyes.

In order to reduce Xia Yuebai's injury, Tusaxita was forced to bear most of the impact force when he rolled over. Large and small scratches criss-crossed on those arms, and the wounds were covered with sand and blood, which was shocking. Lots of scars.

A deathly silence, a choked silence.

half an hour.

"Yuebai..." Tusasita's voice was very soft, like someone who was afraid of being shocked and kept silent in his arms. "never mind."

Tears, along with the sweat constantly flowing from the cheeks, dripped quietly, falling on the skirt of Tusasita's chest, Xia Yuebai's body trembled uncontrollably and silently.

Patting her on the back, stroking back and forth along the slightly messy black hair, Tusasita carefully examined her condition and confirmed that Xia Yuebai did not hurt any muscles or bones, but had some slight injuries on her arms and calves, she quietly relieved.

"Can you stand up?" whispered in her ear, the smiling face reflected a soft halo from the sweat.

Nodding, she stood up leaning on her body, pulling the scratches on her body that hurt sharply. "Thank...thank you, Tu... Sasita." There was the sound of horseshoes approaching behind her, and she spoke incoherently, her voice was hoarse and dry, just like the paleness on her lips.

Tusasita remained silent, her scarred arms tightened suddenly, almost irresistibly hugging her again... There was a slight tremor in the sweaty, cold arms.

Somewhat surprised, she looked up at her, and her gaze was fixed on the edge where the sky and the earth meet.

Pale lips moved, and the unspoken words were drowned in the noise of rumbling horseshoes around him.He lowered his head, nestled his forehead against Tusa Sita's neck, and forgot to struggle for the first time.

Real horror, real horror, real nightmares.

There is a kind of temperature melting from this cold embrace bit by bit, seeping into Xia Yuebai's slightly stiff and numb skin. After experiencing the catastrophe just now, they used each other's body temperature to warm the unsteady chest. gasp.

★★★★★★★★★

The hunt ended prematurely due to Tusahita's injury.

The medical officer suggested that she temporarily go to the West Bank Temple to recuperate for a few days, because her whole body was covered with cuts and bruises, especially the foot-long incision from the shoulder to the shoulder blade. But the injury is too serious, and it is not suitable to drive back to the palace of Thebes, and there is a palace in the temple here, which can be used for her to recuperate quietly.

Tusasita agreed, and ordered the others to return to Thebes immediately. She only left three hundred soldiers of the Anubis Legion to take charge of the protection task. The young officer took on the important task of protecting the Pharaoh for the first time, with a stern and cautious face. There was a hint of pride on his face.

Anashika came in to visit, and faced Tusasita's silent and indifferent gaze, she showed a calm and calm look.

It wasn't until Tusasita asked where Luya was that she smiled, her calm smile revealed an elegant arrogance, and she replied neither humble nor overbearing... Luya had already returned to the palace first.

Leaning on the back of the wide chair, Tusasita remained expressionless for a moment.Then, she held the corner of her mouth and raised it, and slowly got up and walked.

When passing in front of Anashika, her footsteps stopped.

Anashika's dark red eyes stared straight at the empty throne in front of her calmly, and did not look at Tusahita standing side by side with her.

Throwing a word beside her softly, Tusasita strode out of the big tent with his head held high.

Standing alone in the empty tent, for a while, the tip of his eyebrows was raised lightly, he sighed arrogantly and arrogantly, and smiled seemingly without a trace.

"It's not over yet."

This is a threatening remark uttered by the Queen of Egypt.

Lu Ya really got into a catastrophe this time, this little girl who doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, has no idea what kind of trouble she has caused.

Offending the Pharaoh, who has always had a vengeance, is in her territory; hurting someone she cares about is under her nose...

If Luya was either too courageous or too brainless, she was actually overwhelmed by inexplicable jealousy, completely disregarding that they were still standing on the territory of Egypt, and did such a bold and stupid thing.

Thinking of the mess this little sister suddenly threw at her, Anashika frowned slightly, and the moment she turned around, a strand of long wavy hair brushed across her arm, and her blood-red eyes dimmed.

Chapter 43

The quiet temple is as quiet as the moment when the gods created the world and opened the chaotic world, the simple and solemn beauty, the deep and unrivaled silence.

The promenades are sometimes straight and sometimes winding, like the deep and quiet Nile water under the evening sky, flowing meanderingly and silently beautiful.

There is no grand and luxurious Thebes palace here, let alone the hustle and bustle of the palace. A few priests shuttle between the huge stone pillars.

This temple was built for the goddess Isis, who was deeply worshiped by the ancient Egyptian people. She gathered almost all the advantages of women and became an irreplaceable great faith in the hearts of the people. Her poems and poems were praised. Her statues can be found everywhere on both sides of Thebes, and there are countless temples built for her, second only to the main god Rui of Egypt in number.

The palace located directly behind the temple is smaller than the royal palace, and the decoration is also simple and rustic. It is not difficult to see this from the carvings on the gate tower.

Because Tusasita was recuperating here, it brought a sudden tense and busy atmosphere to this usually quiet and lonely temple.

Unas then dispatched another thousand Anubis soldiers. These solemn young warriors guarded the temple and the palace tightly. Wherever they looked, they could be seen in black armor. figure.

Bahari, who didn't come to the hunt that day, led a group of ministers who came to visit their Pharaoh that afternoon, bowed down in fear, and prayed for Tusasita's speedy recovery.

Tusasita thanked them with a smile, and sent them back to Thebes with a few perfunctory words.Only Unas was left alone, and the two chatted for a while, about half an hourglass hour.

These things were all inquired by Penny.

Xia Yuebai didn't care about these things at all, all she cared about was Tusasita's injury.

She asked the medical officer who examined her in detail, and the elderly medical officer assured her that Tussita's injury would not be life-threatening.Those scrapes were not a problem, only the cut on the shoulder blade was more troublesome, but fortunately the wound was deep but not as deep as the bone, and Tusashita's physique was very good, as long as he had a good rest, healed in half a month.

When the old medical officer was leaving, he specifically told him not to let the wound become inflamed. The weather is hot now, and if the wound is not treated properly, the consequences of inflammation will be unpredictable.

Talking about the words of the old medical officer, Xia Yuebai's heart became tighter and tighter.

Looking sideways, looking at the dazzling sunlight outside the window, the scorching summer is like fire, and there is also a flickering light in her eyes, which flickers on and off against the sunshine.

"Miss, where are you going?" Seeing Xia Yuebai walking out in silence, Petunia asked urgently.

"Go and see her." After the words fell, the figure had disappeared in the wind blowing in by the door, and her footsteps were slightly hurried.

Blinking her eyes, it took a while for Penny to realize that the "she" Xia Yuebai said was Tusa Sita.

"Miss, I'll go with you." Stepping up to follow, there was still the sting of the whip from behind, and Petunia pulled the corners of her mouth in pain and frowned.

★★★★★★★★★

Going east around the huge statue of Isis enshrined in the temple, you pass through a corridor full of exquisite murals, and there is a man-made river running through the palace.An eleventh dynasty-style building is built along the river, which is simple and exquisite.Judging from the appearance alone, it can be judged that when the palace was first built, a lot of painstaking efforts were made by the design craftsmen.

There were two rows of guards under the steps. They stood motionless without fear of the sun burning on them.Seeing Xia Yuebai's arrival, he bowed slightly to her, and then turned his gaze forward again, as if a statue stood still.

Smiling back, she carried her long skirt and stepped up the steps.

The wooden hollow carved door is ajar, a faint scent mixed with herbal medicine seeps out from inside, and a dark shadow sways in the crack of the door, making the light flickering and dimming.

The maid by the door didn't wait for Xia Yuebai to open her mouth, she gently pushed the door open, and bowed to her with a smile.

Smiling slightly, he stood outside the door and looked inside. The room was empty, only two maids were wiping the tables and chairs.

Enter the house and look around.

"Miss Xia, the king is in the inner room, this way please." A maid came up from the side and motioned for Xia Yuebai to follow her.

Turning a corner from the side door of the main hall, the view is suddenly open, and there is another indoor flowing water garden. Several stone statues rise from the pool, white water lilies float on the gurgling water, and delicate flowers are supported by green leaves. Surrounding the feet of the stone statue, there are undulating waves... Roughness is intertwined with grace, solemnity is infiltrated with elegance. Although Xia Yuebai has long been used to the luxury and beauty of Thebes palace, Xia Yuebai still can't help but be amazed by the exquisiteness of this place. The chic design is a burst of surprise.

Guided by the maid into the corridor, a large wooden door came into view.

The door was pushed open in front of her eyes, Xia Yuebai hesitated to stop outside the door, when Petunia's whispered reminder came from behind, she recovered her senses and stepped into the room.

The moment he raised his eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and annoyed a moment later.

Obviously, she came at a very bad time.

Because, bumped into Tusa Sita in the... bath, again.

To be precise, the maids were waiting for her to wipe herself... She was sitting with her back to the door, her upper body was uncovered, her lower body was only wrapped in a white linen cloth, and her night-like long hair hung over her right shoulder. Hanging in front of you and swaying gently in the wind.

From the left shoulder to the right armpit, a thick bandage was wrapped obliquely, and there was a faint red mark on the clean cloth strip.

Hearing the movement, her body with her back to the door moved slightly, she turned her head and cast a glance at the person standing by the door, squinting at Xia Yuebai who was as rigid as a rock, with a playful hook on the corner of her mouth, slowly There was an unconcealable playful tone in Li's voice. "You always come over when I'm taking a shower, Yuebai, I really wonder if your hobbies are a little too special."

Xia Yuebai's face suddenly turned red into a splash of blood.

Instinctively want to turn around and run away, every minute and every second standing here is a torment that tests the frequency of the heart.

"Come in." The usual command tone.

Dazed, for about ten seconds, Xia Yuebai moved forward three steps with heavy steps, with a face full of enthusiasm.

Withdrawing his gaze, Tusasita squinted his eyes in enjoyment, and the linen cloth soaked in cold water passed across his skin, which was cool and pleasant, smoothing away the sticky and dry heat brought about by the high temperature in summer.

With a cheeky face, Xia Yuebai looked at Tusaxita from behind.

To be honest, except for the last time I bumped into the sexy picture of the Egyptian queen out of the bath, I had never really paid attention to Tusahita's body.

This woman is very tall. This is a helpless discovery that I have to raise my head to meet her eyes every time I stand side by side or face to face with her.

She has a thin body, but not a woman's frail and thin body, but a strong and lean body.When you are hugged by her, you can clearly feel the accumulated energy hidden under the skin texture, which is an explosive force that penetrates the bones.I can't help but think of that scene in the arena. The frightening Jedi counterattack and brutal force came from this healthy and graceful body in front of me.

"Have you seen enough? If you've seen enough, come here." The voice that rang out again was still teasing, even more smiling than before.

He curled his lips at her back, and then moved.

When he got behind her, he saw that there were still some old scars on her back, lying on her healthy wheat-colored skin.These scars have faded over time, but the shocking traces have not receded the remaining ugliness.

The waist, back, shoulders, and even a slanted line slid across the entire back... It is impossible to imagine the fatal damage caused by the enemy's sharp sword; Thousands of troops fighting to create a desolate picture of the sky filled with blood.

These scars are memories given by the war, like medals engraved on the body.

His heart was gripped by a pair of invisible hands, and it hurt fiercely.

His eyes flickered slightly, and his face turned to the side, not wanting to look at the scars that would make his eyes sting.

"Go down."

The maids saluted and walked backwards.

The door was gently closed behind him, Xia Yuebai heard the room suddenly quiet down, it was unreal at this time of evening.

"I drove them away, and you do the rest." She said it as a matter of course, glanced at the cloth in the basin, then squinted at Xia Yuebai, and smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up.

My brain was half a beat slow, because I was still struggling with those old injuries.Hearing Tusasita's words, she regained her composure, looked at the linen cloth floating in the golden basin, frowned slightly, and remained silent.

The simple golden headband in Tusasita's hair was reflected in his eyes, and then his eyes lightly fell on her back. He sighed secretly, knelt down, took out a white cloth from the basin at his feet and wrung it dry. .

The hand holding the cloth was hesitantly raised in the air, until the blood oozing from the strap broke into the bottom of his eyes.She bit her lip, and the cloth towel fell down very lightly.

The wet cloth passed around the place where the straps were wrapped, and carefully wiped it to produce a gentle coolness, which made Tusasita sigh comfortably, raised the corners of his lips, and remained silent.

There was a special smell of incense entwined with herbal medicine in the breath. He put the cloth in the water basin, swung it, unscrewed it again, and wiped her skin carefully.After a moment of hesitation, he spoke. "How did these injuries come about?"

"Which one?"

"This." With the wet cloth in his hand, his eyes flicked across the 30 cm long scar on his back, which healed well.

The touch as light as a feather quietly opened the memory of Tusa Sita. "When they entered the palace of Thebes, they were attacked from behind."

I couldn't see Tusa Sita's face, so I had no way of knowing her expression when she said this, but her indifference was so casual that Xia Yuebai heard the lazy tone of "Life and death are nothing more than this".

It's hard to understand how a person could talk about an attack that caused such harm with such ease, as casually as if she was talking about how the food and drinks tonight were not as good as last night.

"What about this?" She nodded at her shoulder, where there was a piece of uneven skin. The medical skills of 800 years ago cannot be compared with the level of modern high-tech medical treatment. Usually, after an injury, there will be ugly scars that are difficult to recover.

"I was hit by an arrow in Syria, and the arrow was poisonous, and I could only scrape off a piece of flesh." This arrow made her have a high fever for five days.After the fever subsided, the first thing she did was put on her armor and mount her horse to return to the battlefield.It was also on that day that her Egyptian army broke through the borders of the Syrians, achieving the feat of sweeping three cities in one day.

"Wars are for victory, not for suicide." He uttered crisply, like shaking a cloth towel in his hand in mid-air.

Tusahita laughed, her body trembling slightly in the laughter, a deep laugh, with a wanton and arrogant happy tone.

He gave her a blank look, and looked at her scarred back. "Is this also injured in Syria?" The wet cloth brushed over her waist, pausing on a circular wound the size of half a palm.

"Ah."

"It doesn't look like a sword wound, nor a bow and arrow. How did it get so serious?" Judging from the shape and the size of the wound, Xia Yuebai couldn't guess what kind of weapon could cause such a terrible scar.

Sighing low, there is a hint of stubbornness, or rather a kind of stubborn arrogance. "Spear."

The creases between the brows deeply cut off the bright light, and when he wanted to say something, his lips moved, but in the end he said nothing.Silently continuing to move her fingertips slowly along the uneven old wound, she felt that her fingertips were trembling, as if her eyes were attracted by the scar, and she couldn't restrain her trembling with fear.

Xia Yuebai behind her was very quiet, but her trembling cold fingers revealed her cowardice.Closing his eyes, a dark smile appeared on his backlit face, and he said relaxedly, "The person who hurt me is worse than me. I chopped off his head."

"You --- war is too terrible and cruel." For some reason, the silent but scarred armor lying in the golden coffin appeared in his mind, intertwined with the criss-crossing old wounds on the body in front of him ... the heart throbbed with tremors, and so did the breathing.

"Either I live or die, or I die. Yuebai, what would you choose?"

His black eyes were quietly confused, and he remained silent.

As if knowing what she was thinking, Tussita smiled lowly. "You can't bear to die, huh?"

"Who would give up -----" Halfway through speaking, she suddenly stopped... Looking at the hand suddenly held by Tusasita, Xia Yuebai was stunned.

Without moving her body, she stretched out her hand to grab Xia Yuebai's hand that was still swimming at her waist, held her icy fingers, and gently rubbed them in the palm of her hand. "Yuebai, my identity and my responsibilities sometimes do not allow me to do the right thing. Right and wrong are not important to me. But whether it can bring benefits to my country and my people Being strong and wealthy is the foundation of my decision.”

"You once said that you hoped that I could make a decision with peace of mind. I thought, I might have let you down. The day I sat on the throne, I knew that I would never have a day with peace of mind... one in the palace The most inconspicuous princess, she washed the court with blood, killed all those who tried to stop her, stepped over the flesh and blood corpses of her relatives and entered the Palace of the Sun to come to this day." Tusa Sita's faint voice continued as if she was talking to herself, With a sort of cathartic pleasure. "That day, the palace of Thebes was like the surging Nile, the only difference was that it was not flooded with hope, but... despair. To this day, I can still hear those priests and monks who opposed me kneeling in the hall and chanting sutras The voice, the soldiers who followed me are timid, killing the unarmed priest will offend the gods and bring a sin beyond redemption, no one dares to take a step forward."

Having said this in one breath, her voice suddenly paused.

I don't know why she suddenly wanted to talk about these things to herself, beliefs, politics, murder... She spoke in a cold and steady voice that was so calm that there was no wave.

An indescribable sense of fear, Xia Yuebai instinctively resisted this kind of language, these words she didn't understand well, and she didn't want to understand... These things that should sound out of reach of her world, why is she now I feel that they are close in front of my eyes, and they are silently engulfing me bit by bit.

"The first priest fell under my sword. Those pedantic people were still chanting scriptures endlessly. Their obstinacy was no longer belief in God. It was they who blasphemed God's choice, so... I Kill those people one by one with my own hands."

Listening quietly, at this point, I suddenly feel a little irritable and uneasy, and there is also a panic born from my heart that cannot be ignored. "Tusasita, why are you telling me this?"

Xia Yuebai spoke in a trembling voice behind her, and the hand she held in her palm was as cold as a piece of cold ice.It's just that Tussita turned a blind eye to this. "In my ears, the priests and monks struggled and cried and wailed. They said that I was the devil sent by the underworld to destroy Egypt... They cursed me, cursed my fate, and cursed my life to be lonely and lonely. ended tragically in betrayal."

Wanting to make the calm and cruel woman in front of her shut up, to stop these inexplicable but true words that make the heart oppressive and breathless, she just opened and closed her mouth a few times in vain.In the end, the voices all died in the dark haze that surrounded them.

Quiet, almost silent except for the sound of the hourglass.

"Why...why did you tell me this?" After the momentary shock just now, exhaustion suddenly flooded towards him.

"I don't believe in destiny, and I don't fear any destiny. In the past, the only thing I cared about was power, the powerful power that can put everyone's eyes on my feet, and the supreme royal power that can protect me and Alnis from harm. " She groped her fingertips meticulously and slowly, and traced the trembling temperature of Xia Yuebai's fingertips with her fingers very carefully... and in an instant, her fingers slipped through hers.

Being entangled, Xia Yuebai's hand was held tightly.

Surprised, she struggled slightly, but she held her tighter, like two twisted and braided ropes, entangled in a weary way, overlapping and holding each other, covered by the evening wind gently and silently...

Kneeling and sitting behind Tusasita, she couldn't see her face, and the only perception came from that hand... Silent stubbornness, stubborn tenderness... Heartbeat, impatient and timid vibration rolling behind the chest, obviously Wanting to escape, but uncontrollably looking forward to something.

Xia Yuebai lowered her head, her palms were covered with fine sweat, but her body was trembling slightly.The fingers are still entangled between her fingers, not daring to struggle, because struggling will bring her a tighter entanglement, which will make the heart beat out of a rhythm that she can't bear.

"I thought that although my protection for you was not perfect, no one would dare to hurt you under my nose. I didn't know that I was too confident until I saw you on the back of a galloping horse." Laughing self-deprecatingly, he turned his head, glanced at Xia Yuebai behind him from the corner of his eyes, a fleeting cold light flashed in his eyes, cold and chilling. "My self-confidence almost killed you."

"No, it's not like that. Tusashita, it's not your fault, it's me... yes, yes..." He opened his mouth eagerly, and couldn't stand Tusashita taking this matter on him. The protection has done its best, and what happened today was just an unexpected accident.

Although, they all knew in their hearts that this might not be an accident at all.

"Yuebai, if I hold the scepter of Upper and Lower Egypt in my hand, but I can't even protect you in the end, I will not forgive myself for my failure."

"I'm not your...responsibility."

"You are."

"Tusasita..."

"I identified you."

Take a breath.

"You can't escape, Yuebai."

He suddenly wanted to laugh, but there was something warm in his sight that rushed out of his eye sockets first, and he couldn't even grasp it firmly. "You are a lunatic...the hopeless mad king."

"Thank you for your good words, this time... I'm so crazy that I feel at ease." After a sigh, she laughed silently, her soft brows retreated from the arrogant indifference of the king on the Sun Palace overlooking all living beings, leaving only a trace of silence And exquisitely warm.

The time by the window has already added to the beauty of the sunset, a layer of dark blue is stacked with a layer of orange powder, and a thin layer of gray blue like gauze is spread on the horizon... A faint but eternal sadness, a willful and coquettish beauty .

★★★★★★★★★

For the first time, I heard this proud queen utter so many words hidden in her heart in one breath.

For the first time, I felt her complex and abyss-like heart hidden under her calm and indifferent face.

For the first time, she was so close to her fragility that no one had noticed.

For the first time, it was her unrestrained and unreserved confession like catharsis.

For the first time, I didn't want to escape the tender entanglement that she stubbornly gave and couldn't escape or get rid of.

But, how can I bear all these things from the Egyptian Pharaoh... Her pressure, her contradictions, her protection, her... affectionate.

Lying on the window sill, looking up at the night sky.

The stars are shining brightly, like a flourishing fireworks with flowers blooming like a piece of brocade, the eternal brilliance, illuminating the loneliness of the dark night...

In the ears, the wind whispered softly under the night torches, and what came through the meandering night wind was the last sentence Tusasita said back when he left in the evening.

She silently watched her who walked to the door, with those clean and clear dark brown eyes, after a long time of silence, when she thought she would not say anything, her quiet and calm words always sounded.

She said, "Yuebai, I just want a chance to protect you for the rest of my life."

The corners of his eyes suddenly became wet, and at the moment when Tusasita slowly turned his face away to look away.

Standing by the door, staring at her back for a moment, Xia Yuebai lifted her feet and left the room that made her flustered, and the woman in the room that made her cry.

The night was getting darker and darker, as if it could drown her messy thoughts.
