She wants him to be happy, she wants him to be happy.This feeling was so strong, so strong that even if she would turn into a cloud of dust gently flying in the sun because of her grief, she did not hesitate to give Ivy every meeting with Ramses was extremely precious.Seeing the feeling of life flowing in him, seeing him laughing, he angry, and his indifference, she will feel so happy, and she will feel that all the choices she has made across three thousand years and through life and death are correct.Although in this history, he doesn't remember her, he hates her.But she wanted to see him, and she wanted to express her feelings for him as much as possible through each brief contact.Through the eyes, through the attitude, through every hurried and slightly cruel dialogue.It's as if to make amends, to compensate for everything he has done in another history that has made him sad and painful.She pulled out a white linen dress from the box and put it on, pulled the hem up to her knees as before, and pinned it up with a simple pin; She coiled her almost floor-length hair high, tied it in a simple bun with a hairpin made of gold, and finally pulled a golden veil from her forehead to cover her old silver-white hair.She looked in the mirror, then again.This body is really like yourself.Although she has no sun-dazzling blonde hair, and no eyes as blue as Nile water, her fair skin, delicate face, deep eye sockets, and angular lips are all similar to the real her.She was almost stunned.Does this strange body have anything to do with her Although others will not connect the two at once, but all this can't fool her eyes Why is this princess three thousand years ago so similar to herself "Your Highness, can you go" The young voice sounded behind him, and Dong stepped into the door.The moment the dark walnut-colored eyes touched Ivy in white, the greeting stopped abruptly, and it instantly changed into a somewhat abrupt silence.After a few seconds, it was still so quiet.Ivy turned her head inexplicably and looked at Winter.At that moment, he bowed down at the right time, his light brown hair completely blocked all the expressions on his face at the moment, and asked respectfully again: "Your Highness, can you go?"
"Hmm. ”Ivy answered softly and stepped out the door.The young guard stood up straight, his dark walnut eyes fell on her thin back, and his handsome face had a somewhat thoughtful look, until Ivy turned around and called his name loudly, he remembered what he was going to do, and hurriedly took a quick step, smiled at the silver-haired princess as innocent as ever, and said respectfully: "Sorry, Your Highness Ivy, please here, Your Majesty should be in the study now." ”The last time Ivy came to Thebes was three thousand years later.The reflection of the street lamps on the deep black Nile is like a jewel shining on black velvet.Standing on the shore with her back to the guardrail, she looked out at the small city of Luxor in modern Egypt, the sound of chanting on the radio, men in Muslim coats and women who surrounded themselves hurried through the streets, the atmosphere of Islam had completely obscured the original style and temperament of ancient Egypt.She still remembers how sad she was.Through the pleasant evening breeze, she could see the Luxor Temple, which spanned thousands of years.Walking through the Sphinx passage, she could see the statue of Ramses II standing quietly at the entrance to the temple.Although she is a little less angry, through his posture and dress, she can still judge that he is the person she has always loved, and the person she can't forget even after a million nights and days.She stood in front of the statue of Ramses II and remembered the royal city of Thebes.The magnificent city of 100 gates, every night, will be reflected by the lights more brilliantly.This is especially true in the royal palace, even at night when the god of Ra sinks into the ground, the gorgeous palace is still bustling and lively.The common people who lived in Thebes could sometimes hear the cheerful and slightly mystical music of harps, lyres, harps, and tambourines wafting out of the palace; The guards standing guard in the royal palace can sometimes see scantily clad but unusually brightly dressed dancers being led into the banquet hall.The pharaoh's study was tucked away in a corner of a courtyard full of verdant trees, and no matter how noisy the banquet hall was, it was always quiet.From that room, you can hear the sound of the Nile River, and you can see the west bank of Thebes.He'll spend a lot of time there.When there was something important to deal with, when there was something on her mind to think about, she had been there for a brief time.But the time was too short, so short that she couldn't even remember what that study was like, and what his busy figure was like."
Alas" Ivy sighed loudly, overlapping her ten fingers in reverse, and three thousand years passed in a hurry in front of her eyes between her breaths, and she didn't have time to sort out her thoughts, so she could only look at the Thebes palace in front of her gray eyes in a daze, as if it had not changed in the slightest from her memory, and her mind could not help but messily flash the pictures she had experienced."
Your Highness, go this way."
Winter said softly as he spoke, his slender arms extending to the side of the path where the lights were lit.Ivy was stunned for a moment, turned her head, and looked at Dong blankly, suddenly feeling that her clear and handsome face was suddenly so unfamiliar, and she couldn't find a place corresponding to him in her memory.Seeing that she didn't react, the young man hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand, gently took Ivy's white and cold little hand, and put it on his little arm wrapped in golden bracers, and there was a little imperceptible uncertainty and a trace of indescribable nervousness in his still polite voice, "Your Highness, the road is dark, let Dong take you there." ”Ivy glanced at Winter again, and slowly bowed her head blankly.Winter smiled shyly, then straightened his back, lifted Ivy's arm slightly, stretched it forward, and led Ivy along the slightly darkened path to the depths of the courtyard.The path is neatly paved with stones, and the illuminated lights are placed next to it.Occasionally, armed guards stood quietly and vigilantly on both sides of the road.Recognizing that it was Winter leading Ivy over, they slowly bowed down to welcome them.At the end of the road, suddenly there was a small empty field.Facing a heavy, dark brown wooden door.The image of the pharaoh is delicately depicted on it.The soldiers at the door saw Dong and Ivy, knelt down one after another, and said respectfully, "Lord Dong, Your Highness Ivy." ”Dong is a man close to Ramses, and although he does not have royal blood, he has a fairly high status.Ivy is a real princess, the one who serves Winter, but is unconsciously placed after Winter's name by the soldiers.In this age of royal supremacy, a person's status depends entirely on the pharaoh's heart.Although the pharaoh indirectly recognized Ivy, in everyone's hearts, she still ranked at the bottom of the royal family's vast genealogy, even inferior to some favored courtiers, even though she had the blood of Seti I in her veins.Dong stopped and lowered his arms, "I want to meet Your Majesty, please report on your behalf." ”The soldier's face was embarrassed, "But my lord, His Royal Highness Nefertari is inside, please come back to meet me later" Nefertari, these words seemed to penetrate directly into her eardrum and hit the bottom of her heart, making her heart throb fiercely.Although it was just a study, and although Nefertari and Ramses were naturally together, it was hard for her not to guess what they were doing together, why they were together, and what he would say to her.But she couldn't ask, she shouldn't ask, and jealousy twisted into a deep sadness.She clutched her heart and breathed weakly."
Your Highness, why don't we come back another day."
Dong looked at Ivy's pale face and said softly.Ivy bit her lower lip and shook her head.She's going to wait, there's something she wants to say today.If she didn't see him today, she thought that she would die, she would die because of the heartache caused by the thick grief Just as she hesitated, the heavy wooden door slowly opened, and the bright but cold light poured out from the room and hit Ivy's body."
How did you get here" Before she could look up to see who was coming, Ivy had already been pushed hard, and she staggered back a few steps and fell into the arms of Dong, who was standing behind her.She looked up in embarrassment and saw a familiar figure in front of her.The girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she looked like a typical Egyptian girl, with neat short hair, bronzed skin, and a young face that did not know how to hide her emotions and thoughts.Memories flooded into her mind, and she called out her name without thinking: the memory in Sheput's mind was confused, and her body instinctively waited for a slightly nervous but extremely respectful response.But reality comes violently, and it easily destroys the illusion completely."
Bah, you're embarrassed to call me by my name, it's the little princess you killed my sister" The girl's immature face was distorted with anger, she clenched her fists with both hands, trembled slightly on both sides of her body, and stared at Ivy with her eyes, "Your Majesty spares you from dying, it doesn't mean that I will let you go, you'd better die in Cush, never go back to Egypt" Looking at her angry look, Ivy seemed to have never seen the girl in front of her.She used to be Ivy's favorite little maid, and Ivy's friend in this world, and they used to be so close.But this look of hatred in front of her was why the angry tone in her ears was why she hated her body so much, because what had happened under the control of this body was not under her control.She didn't do anything, but she let all the people she cherished in this world be hurt and hated by her.This mixture of helplessness and helplessness made her inevitably hesitate and waver.She slowly lowered her head, her hands clenched into small fists, her nails digging into her palms.Why did she insist on coming back, did she come back just to confirm that she had lost her friends, lost her love, and lost all the meaning of living here, this is not her style, then, what did she want?"
”The gentle and solemn voice sounded slowly, and the angry girl slowly put away her angry expression, bowed sideways, and shouted respectfully in her mouth: "Her Royal Highness the Queen" The gentle voice answered softly, and then there was a silence.Ivy could feel a sad gaze looking at her from head to toe, as if she wanted to see through her bones.She didn't look up because she didn't dare look at the woman in front of her.A visceral guilt mixed with a bit of embarrassment completely stopped her actions."
If she can grow up, she can also be as beautiful as you."
Seeing that she never looked up, the queen sighed softly, and then slowly walked past Ivy.The fragrance of lotus flowers mixed with the tinkling sound of gold jewelry fades away.She never looked up, and even though Shept shoved her hard as he passed by her, she remained silent.Luckily, Winter had been standing behind her, holding her firmly.Otherwise, she would have fallen to the ground and would never be able to get up again.In this history, everything that happened before has nothing to do with her and is beyond her control.But just because she mistakenly entered this strange body, because she once again rebelled against the truth of time, everything was like a side effect, all of them hit back and fell on her body, so heavy that she couldn't breathe.It was a big mistake for her to come back.Just so that she could look at him selfishly, just so that she could call him again in the same time and space, she actually lost herself in the ruthless torrent of history and couldn't get rid of it.Even oneself doesn't look like oneself anymore.She gritted her teeth, stood up straight, and straightened her golden veil.Calming her heartbeat and breathing, she quietly turned her head to look at Dong who was slightly worried, her gray eyes shining calmly, as if the embarrassing scene just now had never happened or appeared."
Now, we can go in."
The pharaoh's study was the size of three Ivy's bedrooms, with a golden tone and elaborate walls engraved with royal coats of arms symbolizing royal power.Candles burn vigorously around the room, so that the interior of the house without electricity is still well-lit and bright.Paperwork and letters are neatly arranged on rows of dark wooden shelves, and the golden decorations are reflected by the lamps.Behind a large table sits a king's throne, and on the back of the chair is carved a vulture with wings ready to fly.It was the only chair in the huge house.In this room, even as an informal council place, only the pharaoh could still be seated.Ramses sat on the king's throne and quietly read the papyrus at hand.He was dressed in a long white robe, and his long brown hair fell casually over his shoulders.There was still a faint scent of lotus flowers wafting in the room, and a steaming red drink was still in hand.The sound of a woman's footsteps could be heard in the hall, and the soles of her shoes gently landed on the blue-and-white stone floor, making a regular tapping sound.He frowned slightly, his eyes did not take off the paperwork in his hand, but just lightly threw out a sentence: "Didn't you tell you to go back, I said I would go to you at night." ”The footsteps stopped abruptly, and the room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing had disappeared.He didn't lift his eyes, and he didn't mind who was standing in front of him.Only a few seconds later, a crisp and bright voice broke the silence, "Your Majesty, I'm Ivy. ”He paused, then looked up, and a petite girl suddenly appeared in his sight.She was still dressed plainly white, without any jewelry or rouge, exactly like the one she saw by the lotus pond that day.There was a bit of smart light in his gray eyes, and he didn't shy away from looking at him at all, making it difficult for him to take his eyes off for a while.She stood a few meters away from him, pursing her lips slightly, and the strange atmosphere instantly stiffened.His gaze swept over her figure, slowly condensing on her cheeks, amber eyes narrowly surveying her pale face, deep eye sockets, erect nose, delicate lips, and finally landing on her silver hair with a golden veil."
Take it off."
He threw out a sentence coldly."
What" Ivy was stunned for a moment.Looking down at his dress, he didn't have any special jewelry, so what was it for her to take off He stood up and walked quickly in front of her, his slender fingers grabbed the golden tulle on her head without any pity, and after only stopping for a second, he pulled it down so hard that even the hairpin was dragged off and fell to the ground of blue and white stone, making a cold sound.He narrowed his eyes and watched with some concentration as her long silver hair fell out.Because of his inexplicable actions, Ivy was almost frozen, and she couldn't even say a word with her mouth open.Before she could let her voice come back into her control, he turned back into his chair and picked up the papyrus again, "For the sake of your promise to travel far for Egypt, I will not hold you guilty of trespassing into my study."
If there's something, you can say it quickly. ”She paused, her seemingly sloppy eyes suddenly shot a sharp light, and her crisp voice replied lightly: "I'm here to negotiate with you" Negotiation The two words she just said were negotiations He raised his eyebrows, put down the paperwork, and his almost transparent eyes locked tightly on the girl in front of him, although his sister was silent, but her emotions had been expressed through his eyes, questioning and mocking without delving into any possible information in his eyes, Ivy gently stroked her long silver hair, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth."
As a tempting bait of mine, come and negotiate with you, a man who is desperate to conquer Cush."
She didn't pause, just spoke quickly."
Gush is not as rich as Egypt, not as advanced as Hittite weapons, and not as geographically important as Syria, but it is connected to the southern frontier of Egypt.If, as those old ministers said, the marriage was used to stabilize the ancient truth, so that there would be no worries, the argument of further attacking the Hittites was too far-fetched.In recent years, Egypt has been collecting mercenaries from Ethiopia, and there is no doubt about the relationship between the two since the reign of Sethi I.Instead of doing this, we should rely on marriage to consolidate our relationship with Assyria, which is slowly rising, and Assyria is even more important as a neighbor of the Hittite. ”"If you have a heart for Gu Shi, you must be moved by the heart of annexing it.""
You must be quick, in the fastest way and with the least loss, to completely recover Gushi, and be fully prepared for the upcoming confrontation with the Hittite.""
In the name of marrying Gu Shi, you just want to use me to achieve some kind of military purpose.I am the only nominal princess of Egypt who can marry. ”Ivy said to herself, teasingly.He was silent."
Only a big enough bait can make the other side let their guard down.And among the so-called big enough bait, there is only my life and death, and Egypt doesn't care about it" There is only her life and death in the royal family, and he doesn't care about it, Ah Ivy 's eyes flashed a trace of self-deprecating sadness, but then this weak look turned into hard and strong."
So, I'm going to negotiate with you" "Your wishes, I'll do it for you; I want you to fulfill my wishes for me. ”"You can force me to send me to Gushi, but without my cooperation, I am confident that your plan will not succeed."
In the vast pharaoh's study, there were only two people.Ivy's crisp voice threw out the words firmly, like a transparent crystal, thrown into the invisible pool of water, stirring up several layers of ripples, and then, the wide space gradually turned back to deathly silence.The young pharaoh sat at the table, his left hand gently holding a papyrus paper, his penetrating amber eyes slightly lowered, and he was silent for a long time; Then he jerked his eyes up, and his slender pupils locked onto the petite silver-haired princess in front of him.Ivy did not hide from the young pharaoh's piercing gaze, and bravely met his eyes.She knew he was judging himself in his heart.She won't flinch, she won't show weakness, but the look in her eyes is so heartbreaking.Now I know that love is such a thing, it turns out to be so fleeting.After a long time, Ramses slowly stood up, her amber eyes never leaving Ivy.He spoke, his faint voice without a trace of waves, "What do you want" Ivy closed her eyes deeply, feeling the pain slowly crawling through every inch of her heart.What did she want, his ruthlessness, his cruelty, his indifference, at this moment, she finally understood.No, she had long understood that she wanted, she wanted him to live peacefully and greatly, to be happy.As she had thought at first, as a bystander, she watched him quietly, watching him become great and legendary in his time, in the time that belonged to this child of light.And she "I have three conditions. ”She looked at him with a look of confusion in her eyes."
Three," she said softly, holding back the dull pain that seemed to be overwhelming, "but small requirements for the possibility of a quick conquest of a country. ”"You speak.""
First, you have to promise to let Duo spend his old age safely and gloriously."
Duo protects her, but Duo is also loyal to Pharaoh, and it would not be wrong to treat Duo well."
Yes."
He replied without thinking."
Second, I can dispense with the priesthood, but you must be restored to my mother's position as high priest."
Thank you for giving birth to this body, otherwise how would she have the opportunity to come back here and see him again "I promised you before that you would guarantee the bloodline of your royal princess, this is naturally okay. ”She bowed slightly, and her gray eyes gradually lost their original light.She wants him to be happy, she wants him to be happy.This feeling was so strong, so strong that even if she would turn into a dust gently flying in the sun because of her grief, she would not hesitate to do so, and she finally found that if she could take this body, as he thought, far away from his sight, and assist him in completing the carefully planned political layout, it was the greatest happiness she could bring him in this time and space, without hindering the course of history.But "thirdly, I'm listening." ”With his hands clasped to his chest, he walked around the table and took a few steps closer to her.After a moment's hesitation, she looked up, her grey eyes as calm as water, looking at him, but she didn't seem to be able to focus."
Third, I'll satisfy you," the voice was tinged with a bit of impatience, and gently echoed in the empty hall.Don't you even want to give her this little time, she thinks that the love of life and death can be so fragile in the face of the ravages of time and space.Ivy smiled softly.In that case, let her keep a little selfishness.At the very least, after completing the mission to Gushi, she can return to her own plane.After confirming that he was all right, he let the two straight lines drawn at the wrong angle cross the intersection point and move forward, and the two have nothing to do with each other again.That's it, the once blurred gaze converged into a sharp light at this moment, and she finally spoke: "I heard that there is a mysterious amulet in Egypt. ”He was stunned, and she continued."
It's called the Eye of Horus."
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Dong, who had rushed to the door and stood by respectfully.Feeling the king's gaze, Dong hurriedly nodded, "There is indeed such a legend, the real Eye of Horus is a unique secret treasure. ”He looked at her, and she looked back at him.The real Eye of Horus is real, and Tissy didn't lie to her.Ivy exhaled softly, "That's it, all I want is the Eye of Horus." ”If you don't want to distort the future, don't touch the past."
I believe that you will bring me the Eye of Horus, it is your destiny, and you will definitely return."
As she left the modern era, Tissy's words rang in Ivy's ears again.At that time, Ivy's heart was full of all kinds of disdain, and she just drank the bottle of potion with a millionth hope, and obtained a moment of satisfaction by breaking through the danger of death.It wasn't until just now that she really began to think about Tissy's words.At that moment, she finally knew what she was thinking.Her reason, her pride, suddenly jumped out when she said those words, and sorted out her messy mood in an instant.She has decided that she will never touch history again, and superfluous extravagance can only turn her adventure upside down.Her love, when he gets everything he really wants, will come to an end, and then be buried in her heart forever.Ignore who he will love, who he will marry, and who he cares about.Don't think about what just happened in his room.It doesn't matter who can step into that beautiful lotus pond.If you don't look at him, your eyes will become gentle the moment you touch someone.The grief will not go away, but it will no longer blind her eyes.The next step was to find the Eye of Horus anyway, and she believed that the Eye of Horus could explain something.For example, why was there a girl with the same name as herself in ancient Egypt, why did she resemble her own appearance, and why did she return to "him" again and again so lucky but slightly cruel.He loved her.He hated her.At that moment, too many thoughts flashed through Ivy's mind.She raised her head, her gray eyes were exceptionally clear, and her black pupils were sharply locked on the handsome pharaoh in front of her."
That's it, all I want is the Eye of Horus."
To find the Eye of Horus, she has the meaning and reason to stay in this era for a while.Find the Eye of Horus, and she can at least take the initiative in this heart-wrenching game.She was willing to go to Cush and fulfill his wish for him, but after that she could choose to leave this sad time forever."
If these three conditions are met, I am willing to go to Cusit and do my best to fulfill your wishes."
She bit her lip and looked at him slightly nervously.Ivy couldn't tell if she wanted him to nod or coldly refuse.She had never felt so helpless, at a loss for what to do because she couldn't see through another person's mood.Until "according to you."
Get the Eye of Horus, and you're going to go," until an indifferent voice shattered the hesitation that remained in her heart without thinking.She closed her eyes heavily and took a deep breath.When he opened his eyes, he turned around without hesitation, returned to his seat, and picked up the papyrus he had just put down.He had been so disgusted with her, and she looked at his slightly drooping brown hair, at his pale amber eyes, at his long, strong fingers.It's as if looking at him like this, looking at him for three thousand years.Well, the purpose of her original return has been achieved, she has seen him.He is still alive and well and peacefully.How nice.After a long, long time, she finally bowed her knees slightly, as she had done at first, and bowed gracefully.The voice was as crisp and calm as it had been when it first came in."
Thank you, Your Majesty.Please remember what you promised me. ”He didn't look up.She sighed slightly, closed her eyes deeply, and turned and walked out the door.He heard her footsteps fade away, and suddenly looked up to see Dong looking at him hesitantly at the doorway.He bowed his head slightly, and Winter quickly turned around and followed Ivy far away.The moment the heavy door closed, through the gap that was about to close, he watched intently at her thin figure, which gradually became blurred on the flickering light on the path.The wooden door slammed shut, and the hall was silent.It was as if he was the only one in this room from beginning to end.t1706231537:
