If this can consolidate your rule, protect your territory, protect you, I will do it.I'm willing to gamble with death for the one in a million chance of seeing him again.I don't care that he doesn't know me anymore, or that he loves someone else.Just to see him still standing alive in front of me, just to see his still penetrating amber eyes.I felt happy.There was a clanging sound, like the sound of gravel ornaments striking each other.The cold cloth was placed on her forehead, dissolving the heat that seemed to burn her.She moved her lips, the chapped pain from the high fever and the pins and needles in her parched throat.She coughed slightly."
Do you need water, Your Highness?"
the old man's voice sounded slowly.She heard the person next to her slowly walk away, then slowly walk back again.The slightly rough old man's hand carefully lifted Ivy's back and brought the glass of water to her mouth, "Your Highness Ivy, please drink water." ”The warm water touched the crack in her lips, and she felt only a pang of pain, and then spit it out and coughed hard."
Your Highness, is the water too hot, I'm sorry, slave maid, I'll pour you another glass.""
No, no," Ivy said hoarsely, forcing her mind to focus.She still survived tenaciously, and it seems that he did not have a ruthless heart to kill her.Should she be secretly glad she opened her eyes with all her might, and the worried face of the old maid was faintly visible in front of her.She squeezed out a smile weakly, "Duo, thank you." ”When the old maid heard this, she immediately knelt down beside the bed, and the old tears flowed, "Your Highness Ivy, the slave should thank you for saving my life" "Don't get up so fast." ”Ivy coughed, and saw that the old and slightly chubby body was still trembling and kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but add, "Then, help me hand me some more water." ”Hearing this, Duo hurriedly stood up, hurriedly brought water from the table next to her, and handed it to Ivy.Taking advantage of her departure, Ivy took a quick look at the room she was in, although in terms of details, it can still be seen that it is the residence used by the royal family, but the simple furniture, the slightly narrow room, and the utensils without gold ornaments can all indicate that she must be a presence in this palace that is not valued by the pharaoh, and even disgusted.Duo should be her only maid.Thinking of the situation of thousands of favors and hugs in Memphis back then, it is really incomparable.She smiled wryly, and just as Duo also returned to the bedside, knelt respectfully on the ground, and handed the glass of water to Ivy."
I don't have to kneel all the time."
Ivy half-forcedly took the glass from her hand and gave a command.She is so old, always kneeling must be a burden on her body, and in a place where there are only two people, why bother to have a lot of etiquette.Duo was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ivy with some surprise, as if she had never seen her before.Ivy raised her glass and drank from it, not noticing the slightest change in her expression.Her lips were close to the rim of the cup, her eyes inadvertently touched the surface of the water, and at that moment, Ivy suddenly threw the cup aside, covered her cheeks with suspicion with both hands, and shrunk her whole body, trembling slightly."
Your Highness Ivy, what's wrong with you, are you feeling unwell" Duo looked at Ivy nervously."
I need a mirror, get it for me," Ivy said hoarsely, a look of fear in her eyes.She stared at the cup that had fallen on the snow-white sheet, and her voice gradually became anxious, "Hurry up" The old maid ran out of the house in a panic, and after a while found a small bronze mirror, and hurried back.Ivy almost snatched the mirror and held it in her hand, eager to put her face on the worn bronze mirror.In the mirror, a strange girl is looking back at herself in surprise.Her hair was long, so long that it almost dragged to the ground.But the hair color is very light, almost silver.Her skin was white, white to the point of being blemish-free, but it was too white, almost sickly.She had thick, curly eyelashes and deep eye sockets, but inside were a pair of light gray eyes that were almost transparent.She had straight eyebrows, a small nose, and delicate angular lips, but she had no color, she was like a painting that had lost all color, so pale that it was impossible to feel the breath of survival.This girl is a little similar to herself in terms of eyebrows, but that look is even more terrifying to her.But they are two very different people.No eyes as blue as the Nile, no straight hair as dazzling as the sun, no crystal clear skin.She was like herself who had lost her life."
Is this me here" she gestured her finger to the mirror in disbelief, her tone trembling slightly, the touch of her fingertips was no wonder so unfamiliar, because it wasn't her finger at all, it turned out that it wasn't her body at all except for the same name and slightly similar looks, they were two very different individuals "The Eye of Horus is real" She looked up to the sky and exhaled softly, "It sent me back in time, but only half of it. ”Only her mind, her soul."
Your Highness Ivy, what's wrong with you" Duo looked worriedly at Ivy, who was surprised for a while and confused for a while, not knowing what to do.Since coming to this era, the Ivy that everyone calls is not her, but the strangely colored child born to the former pharaoh's mistress In this ancient world, how can people accept such a strange appearance No wonder everyone hates her so much, no wonder he wants her to die Ivy sighed heavily and put the bronze mirror on the bed.She lifted her silver hair with her fingers, looking through the sunlight at the strange and old color with a slight mockery."
Who the hell have I become" The old maid was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ivy in bewilderment.Ivy also looked at her, a faint smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and the slightly sad expression made Duo not know how to speak for a while.In an instant, she had already retracted her sad expression, and made a reluctant reason, "It seems that I have a fever and am confused." ”Then he paused again, "I hope I'm burned" Duo sighed again, and her wrinkled face was suddenly full of worry, "Your Highness Ivy, Your Highness who has a hard life" She couldn't cry, and couldn't say anything, just like all old people, grasping the topic in front of her, and kept repeating those two words without beginning or end.Whatever Ivy wanted to say, she just reverently and sadly repeated the same words.Ivy finally gave up trying to dig up some secret from her, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.She finally understood that in this real history that led to the future, she had accidentally become his sister, and she was a monster-like existence that he hated and spurned him.She's no longer the Ivy he once loved.Sunlight poured in through the wide windows, pouring gently down on her.The silver hair flowed like a smooth stream, flowing through the wooden bed to the ground covered with morning light.She held out a hand to the ceiling, her fair skin almost transparent to the rising sun.She looked at her slender fingertips in confusion, her light gray eyes fluttering rapidly, unable to focus on one point, revealing her complex feelings.She just lay still, motionless, as silent as if she had lost her life.After another moment, she finally let go of the raised hand, opened her pale lips slightly, and softly called: "Duo" No one answered.Duo didn't know where to go, and the small room became a little deserted because there was one less person.Ivy remembered that she hadn't gotten out of bed for days, and since the only maid by her side was not there, she might have taken the opportunity to go out for a walk alone.Thinking of this, she stood up and put her feet on the ground with all her might.As soon as she stood up and couldn't take two steps, she fell violently, and at that moment her body suddenly became disjointed as if she could not be completely controlled by her thoughts, causing her to collapse helplessly on the ground."
With such a weird-looking body, I still have to work hard to get used to it."
Ivy thought sarcastically that if she wanted to stay in this era, it seemed that no matter how many of them didn't want to, she would still have to live with this less useful body.So she held on to the side of the bed, concentrated her consciousness, and stood up again."
Whew, don't fall this time," she quipped, and seeing that she was on her feet, she walked out of the house while holding on to the wall carefully.As soon as she walked out of the door, the sun shone on her body without obstruction, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.Looking back, the residence where I lived for a few days was nothing more than a small room, surrounded by very sparse trees and a few old side houses.As far as the eye can see, the buildings that are less than a few dozen meters apart are already gorgeous, and the green ferns are standing tall with life.The sight of prosperity, even if it was only a glimpse, was enough for her to understand that this was the magnificent and magnificent city of Thebes, and the place where she first met him in that period of history.She shielded her hand from the dazzling sunlight and squinted her head high.The clear sky seems to have never changed, but history is no longer the same as it used to be.The first acquaintance with Thebes in the past seems to be yesterday.But the heart-wrenching memories were only in her alone yesterday.The memories that originally belonged to the two of them are now only one person left to reminisce.How sweet, how cruel.A gust of wind blew slightly, and the sound of some water fluctuations could be heard not far away.Standing under such a scorching sun to remember the past, the result must be completely sunburned, thinking about this, Ivy did not hesitate to lift the hem of her skirt, unskillfully commanded her body, and slowly paced towards the place where the sound of water came.After walking a short distance, the trees gradually became more numerous, and the branches and foliage blocked the scorching sunlight, which made her feel a lot more relaxed.Following the sound of the water, the line of sight suddenly opens up, surrounded by cascading greenery, there is actually a beautiful lotus pond.Such constructions were not uncommon in Egyptian court architecture.But I don't know what kind of skills and materials the builders used, but the water under the lotus can be so clear that you can see the bottom of the pond at a glance.Under the reflection of the sun, the blue water begins to gradually change from the place where the flowers are planted to the place where there are no flowers, dark blue, dark blue, lake blue, and sky blue, like a flowing palette.The lotus flowers in June, reflecting the bright sun, keep exuding a beautiful fragrance like a world away, so pure and beautiful.They are evenly spaced and stand on this blue palette, which is like the finishing touch to the whole picture.It's a wonderful view that you don't usually see.Ivy immediately felt good, took a few steps forward, took off her simple sandals, and put her fair and delicate feet into the blue pool water without lotus flowers, the cold touch made the corners of her mouth hook a relaxed smile.On such a hot day, it is rare to be able to enjoy it so comfortably.In a prosperous city like Thebes, she can still find this kind of purity without people, and relax wantonly, which can be regarded as the second thing that makes her happy after returning to this era that she has remembered for a long time, the first thing is naturally to see the big fool again.No matter how much he treats her, it's really better than anything to see him alive and healthy.She was glad she had the courage and determination to bet on that one in a million possibility, and she smiled happily and kicked the water in the pool mischievously, watching the crystal droplets glow like jewels in the sunlight.Whatever she was, no matter what he thought of her, she was going to stay here, to be there for him.Suddenly, she felt a sharp gaze fall on her through the layers of leaves.She jerked her head up, and suddenly saw a vague figure standing behind the bushes not far in front of her.The branches concealed his face and body, and only a pair of calm eyes could be peeked through the dense green leaves.It was a pair of eyes as cold as the polar sea, like an inorganic object, unable to find the slightest sense of survival, in the heat of this midsummer, it actually made Ivy involuntarily shiver, as if a bone-chilling chill was spreading down the soles of her feet to her chest.She couldn't help but clench her hands slightly, and took a few steps back vigilantly.But when I looked up again, those eyes had long since disappeared, and I couldn't find any clues."
Who's here" hesitated, a faint voice sounded behind her, and Ivy jerked her head back to look at the owner of the voice.At that moment, time and space seemed to freeze.Sunlight pours through the gaps in the leaves and falls on the smooth, hot stone pavement, and the fragrance of lotus flowers fills the air and lingers around you.There was no wind, and even the sound of breathing was gone.She and he stood just a few meters apart, staring at each other.He didn't speak for a long time.It was a peaceful scene, one of the most beautiful pictures in the world.The girl in white, standing beside the aqua blue lotus pond, her long skirt fell into the cold pool water, her fair skin was more delicate than the flowers blooming in the pool, she turned slightly sideways, looking at the man not far away; The tall and sturdy young man, dressed in a simple linen robe, holding a sword of fine workmanship, carved with the gold ornament of a vulture, shimmered slightly in the sunlight, stopped with bated breath and looked at the maiden in front of him.In that moment, she almost had the illusion that he was still in love with her.However, how could she forget that there was no one in his memory.His current appearance was so strange, it was so ugly to them, how could he have a good impression of him for no reason, and the unfamiliar body was out of the control of consciousness, which made her feet slightly unstable, and accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt, and her body suddenly fell into the lotus pond behind.She didn't panic, she didn't turn around and struggle, she just looked at his face calmly.Maybe he didn't care, if she fell into the pool now, he would immediately turn around and walk away, she just wanted to seize this opportunity, before he left, to look at him a few more times, and imprint this gentle face deeply in her mind, so that she could reminisce about this strange and familiar cold face in the time before the next time she saw him.Leaning back slowly, she waited for the cold water to soak her body mercilessly.But what I didn't expect was that at that moment, a trace of worry flashed on the face that should have been indifferent.Then, even faster than the gravity that dragged her down, he had already come to her side, and without hesitation, he stepped into the lotus pond and splashed countless waters.The strong arm that always held the sword wrapped around her body with strength and tenderness, pulling her closer to him, and the hot breath was instantly close at hand.The splash of water, falling slowly in the sunlight, fell on his bronzed and hot body, on her white and cold body.He hugged her and lifted her gently in the water, carrying her to a height parallel to his own.His breathing was so soft that it seemed as if the slightest exertion would blow her away into a bubble in the air.Amber eyes, looking at her intently, in that transparent color, she could almost see her own shadow, and a trace of strange feelings that were difficult to explain.So careful, so cherished, it's like the person in front of you is the most precious treasure in the world.So surprised, so unbelievable, it was like waiting a long time to take her into your arms again.Ivy couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, could it be, is there really magic in this world, did he think of her, did he recognize her Her lips opened slightly, but she couldn't speak.She was so scared, what she saw in front of her was just a dream, the moment she spoke, everything would turn to ashes and her voice was choked, she said tentatively: "I am" I am Ivy, I came back as promised This simple sentence was just halfway through, when suddenly there was a sharp pain in her chest, as if to stop her from saying what was about to be spoken.She quickly breathed heavily to soothe the sudden pain.A breeze blew abruptly, and the blue pool stirred up beautiful ripples, and the dense branches and leaves rubbed against each other, making a slight sound.A cloud blocked the dazzling sun, and the water in the lotus pond turned a single deep blue.At that moment, the magic seemed to be gone.She looked at his expression, and it turned from extreme tender pity to some surprise, then to indifference, and finally, to some disgust that was difficult to hide.Before Ivy could say anything, the arms that held her had already brutally let go of her, even pushing her away.The body immersed in happiness suddenly fell into the icy pool water that was too deep to step on.She couldn't see anything, her body was so heavy.At noon in the middle of summer, she seemed to sink into a glacier of 10,000 years, and despair was like a biting cold, spreading into her blood along every joint of her body, invading her heart, and her chest was so painful that she couldn't breathe.She couldn't struggle, the water was coming from all sides, holding her tightly and immobilizing.A large strong hand passed through the pool, grabbed her slender arm hard, and at the moment when she was about to stop breathing, he dragged her out of the water and brutally threw her to the hard pool.She clutched her heart and fell to the ground, gasping weakly.He stood aside, his tall body blocking out all the sunlight.He condescended, indifferently glancing at her curled up on the ground, embarrassed."
In this world, only one woman can approach here."
Is there only one woman, is Nefertari the great queen you love in this history, is this all the most beautiful things, built for her, for her, Ivy's heart hurts so much that she wants to stop beating.Sadly, I couldn't even shed tears."
The people kept petitioning me to have you put you to death."
A faint voice seemed to float from a distant place, and he changed the subject without a trace, "In the opinion of reason, it is not unjust that as a priest, you have not served the kingdom; As a member of the royal family, you have not taken good care of your princess.At my command, you will be pulled out of Thebes at any moment, decapitated with a knife in the blazing desert. ”Ramses paused, waiting for Ivy's reaction.She didn't say a word, as if she didn't care.This surprisingly calm reaction made him can't help but show a trace of confusion.For a moment, he frowned slightly, and his eyes returned to their previous indifference, "I'll give you a chance, and you can make up for it."
No matter what mistakes you make, from now on, you will still be a princess of Egypt, the blood of the royal family. ”Hearing this, her heart trembled slightly, and then she supported her body vigorously, looked up at him high above, and her light gray eyes were so transparent that there was no trace of impurities, "I don't care about the status of the royal family." ”He was stunned for a moment, "You don't care about the bloodline of the Egyptian royal family, you don't want to sleep eternally in the Valley of the Kings in the future" Ivy gritted her teeth, stood up hard, and looked at him who was a head taller than herself, "This silver hair, this gray pupil, it doesn't look like an Egyptian face at all, isn't it" He frowned, his amber eyes looked at the girl in front of him for a moment, and there was no clue on his calm face.After a long time, he finally spoke again, but his flat tone almost tore her to pieces, "No matter how cheap your blood is, no matter how strange your appearance is, in the eyes of others, you are still a princess of the Egyptian royal family, and you are obliged to give everything you have for Egypt." ”She bit her lip slightly and looked at him until her nearly shattered heart gradually returned to beating again."
Then what do you want me to do?"
the sun slowly peeked out of the clouds, its fair skin almost transparent in the sunlight.Ivy clasped the hem of her skirt with her fingers and asked softly: "If I listen to you, if I do what you say" "What do you want in return for the royal family's recognition of wealth and power" The indifferent voice interrupted her words with a little disdain, like an ice pick, piercing into the softest place in her heart again and again, making her every breath become so hard.She paused, then forced herself to smile as if she didn't feel pain at all, and continued, "Will you be happy?"
he pursed his lips and looked at her a little confused."
If I listen to you and do that thing, will you be happy, will it help you a lot to rule" Her expression was so serious, so resolute, and every word was so clear.The wind rustled through the leaves, and a faint ripple was set off on the aqua-blue lotus pond.In another history, the day he killed his sister with his own hands, he hugged her so tightly that he wouldn't let go of his hand for even a second.She could feel how strongly she was being needed and relied on.She only remembered her simple thoughts at that time, wanting him to laugh, wanting him to be happy, wanting him to forget all his sorrows and pains.Because she will be by his side, she will be by his side to protect him "Wei, do you like me" "Well, I like it.No matter what you do or how you do, I like you. ”"Even if one day you don't like me anymore, I still like you.I will stay with you and protect you.Just like you alone. ”"If you're going to be happy, I'll do it."
The crisp voice was like a silver needle falling on the crystal, and the big light gray eyes looked at the man in front of him seriously, so resolute."
If this can strengthen your rule, protect your territory, protect you, I will do it."
An imperceptible look flashed in his amber eyes, but then it was all hidden by a cold exterior.He clasped his hands to his chest, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a hint of mockery."
Every citizen of Egypt has an obligation to protect this great kingdom of the sun, my sister."
Before the smile on Ivy's face could condense, it was mercilessly swallowed up by deep despair."
Then for Egypt's sake, marry the king of Ethiopia."
I chose to come back just because I wanted to be nice to him.This time it's my turn to protect him, and it's my turn to make him happy.So even if he forgets me, even if he loves someone else, as long as I can see him, I feel happy.Is it true t1706231537:
