Moon Wake Heyang

After the Ministry's report is completed, Tusasita will analyze all the matters one by one, solve them one by one, and then assign ministers to carry out the division of labor.

A little jealous in my heart, the memory that can print dozens of things in my mind, and then the responsiveness to make decisions in a short time, the fluency to solve all problems, these are things that many people spend a lifetime learning. Talent that doesn't come.

Perhaps, this is the difference between ordinary people and kings. In addition to bearing the halo of the sons of gods, these kings have minds and abilities beyond the reach of ordinary people, and they also have the heart of an emperor to plan the world....

Once again, history has been questioned... Is the brutal personality recorded in the historical records, Tusaxita, who ruled the country with an iron fist, really the woman in front of me who is leaning on Xia Feng with a smile?

Indeed, her temper is not very good, and her personality is a little perverse.However, it has nothing to do with brutality and blood. If there is anything to do with historical figures, Xia Yuebai really can't find any similarities except that they are both queens of Egypt.

"My lord, although Prince Jebuan has already set off from Babylon with an army of 10, it will take at least two months for [-] people to travel long distances from the two rivers. The current situation in the delta is changing, Libya Create disturbances on the border, and the trade on the border will be greatly affected, so I implore the king to send troops to Libya.” The person who raised the opinion was Bahari’s eldest son Sepp, and Xia Yuebai remembered that he had just been engaged, and his fiancée was Hoktimos’s Pretty sister.

Elbows are propped on the armrest of the throne, fingers are pressed against each other, and the fingertips of the index finger are tapping each other. The silent rhythm attracts all eyes, those who are anxious, waiting, guessing, and watching with cold eyes. The look in the eyes of the courtiers, apart from the concern for Sepp's proposal to send troops, also has some mysterious and weird things.

A thousand people, a thousand hearts, can't be guessed, only the hearts hidden under the flesh and blood.

Xia Yuebai couldn't help but guess in her heart whether Tusasita would agree to the request to send troops.

I agreed. The [-] Babylonian soldiers have not yet arrived. Relying on the existing forces in the Delta region alone, it is not a problem to deal with Libya. However, according to what I have heard, the Libyans have united with the remaining Syrian troops, which makes Egypt weak in numbers. Under the attack of Libya and Syria from left to right, this is a tough battle with unpredictable results.

If you don’t agree, let the Libyans continue to harass the Egyptian border. In addition to the loss of trade exchanges, there are also civilians living on the border. With Tusahita’s stubborn personality, she will definitely not be able to swallow this useless gas.

"During the flooding period, the civilians in the delta area will migrate to the middle reaches in large numbers. Before they complete the migration, they cannot send troops." Her fingertips were still swinging in a regular rhythm, she scanned her courtiers, and finally fell on Sepp body.

Leaning back, the maid stepped forward to serve her the wine. Just as her hand touched the wine glass, she paused suddenly and stared at the thin figure in the corner of the hall who was buried in writing.Pursing the corners of his mouth, he waved his hand and asked the maid to step back with the wine glass. "Bahari, order the consuls of all the cities in the delta to start the relocation work in advance. Don't wait for the Nile to flood, and start evacuating the downstream residents now."

"Yes, I will do it immediately."

"My lord, I want to go to Sinai. As the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, I should guard the ground with my subordinates to prevent the remnants of the royal family in Syria from doing anything wrong." Marie stepped forward and bowed.

Raise eyebrows, laugh.From the corner of her eyes, Xia Yuebai heard Marie's words, raised her head suddenly, and a happy smile jumped onto her face that could not hide her expression. It seemed that she was really eager to get rid of Marie's protection. "With your lieutenant in the delta, you don't have to go. When the relocated civilians arrive, you will be busy."

He frowned, his throat tightened, and he had no choice but to respond. "yes."

Even though there was a distance of more than ten meters between the two, Tusaxita heard Xia Yuebai's faint sigh of disappointment from the moment Xia Yuebai's shoulders suddenly collapsed.

Glaring at the throne, the dark eyes of depression and dissatisfaction just hit the sly and provocative brown eyes, the two clusters of eyes that did not give in to each other met and entangled in the cool wind, looking directly into each other's eyes through the brilliant light, soft and fragrant In the ambiguous air of Xun, there was a faint breath of confrontation and stiffness.

Just for a moment, when Tusasita looked away, he picked up the file on the table, lowered his head, unfolded the exquisite scroll, and frowned quietly looking at the parchment in his hand.

Angry, Xia Yuebai was [-]% sure that the pharaoh deliberately prevented Marie from leaving Thebes, no matter what the reason was, it must have included adding obstacles to his boring court life anyway.

"Is there any news about Arnis?" Without looking up, she asked softly, her eyes wandering on the parchment.

"There is no news from His Highness yet." Bahari replied.

"He hasn't come back for a long time, what needs to be prepared, you have to do it in advance, don't let our high priest find fault, huh?"

Everyone saluted together and responded. "Yes, please rest assured, Wang."

"If you have nothing to do, get back." Closing the scroll, his eyes swept across the crowd lightly, his body leaned back, his hair scattered from his shoulders and fell onto his forearms, and then slid down the chair silently along the golden bracelet like water .

"Yes." Kneeling down, bowing deeply, bending over and retreating one by one towards the gate of Nanyuan, the rustling sound of clothes corners quickly disappeared beside the golden gate.

"Have you finished copying?" He crossed his legs, leaned on the armrest of the chair with his elbow, and propped his chin with one hand. He looked out of the window with his brown eyes, as if he was speaking to the sunlight outside the window.

Without looking up, an unhappy voice came from beside his face. "Soon."

"Bring me the copy." After talking all morning, my mouth was dry, and there was clear water in the glass on the table. I picked it up and took a sip. The taste was tiresome.

Putting down the pen, he picked up the documents that he had copied hard in the morning, walked around the table and walked to Tusasita's side, handed her a stack of papyrus, and saw her put down the cup in her hand.To my surprise, there was a ripple in the delicate golden cup...Clear water.

What a surprise, this queen who never left her hand with alcohol all day has actually changed.

"If you are allowed to be a scribe, Egypt will be in trouble."

"Wrong again? Where?" Every time I finish copying a page, I will check it carefully, and there should be no mistakes.

"It's not wrong, it's a word, it's too ugly."

"Tusasita, I've only been studying for three days. It's good to be able to write like this. Don't be so picky, can you? Give it to me!" Reaching out from her hand, she took back the grades she had worked hard for all morning, holding a few pieces of paper on the table He tidied things up, dusted them carefully, looked at his handwriting again and again, it was pretty, and smiled with satisfaction.

To Xia Yuebai's self-admiring expression, Tusasita didn't say any words of shock, she spread out a map, lowered her eyes, and thought quietly.

Tilting her head, she looked at the beautifully drawn map. With her simple knowledge of characters, Xia Yuebai recognized that it was a panorama of the Nile River. The names of many cities were written on both sides of the river, and some words of unknown meaning were also marked.

"Why do civilians migrate to the middle reaches when the Nile River floods? They leave their homes alone for a few months, like fleeing famine." I have never understood this. The Nile River only floods regularly for four months, and only the lower terrain is submerged. The field is not their house, why not stay at home and wait for the river to recede, but move the whole family to the middle reaches.

His dark brown eyes followed the meandering Nile all the way down, and his fingertips followed his gaze on the triangular open area, and his slender fingers drew circles aimlessly there. "It's not fleeing famine, it's a seasonal law of survival. The river will flood a large area of ​​the delta. Instead of waiting for the river to recede at home, it's better to go to the cities in the middle reaches to find opportunities to make money. Especially in Thebes, there are many opportunities. What are they doing? Why don't you use your free months to try your luck here."

"How many people will come?" Suddenly understood, similar to the Bei Piao family, hoping to find a pot of gold in a vast space with greater opportunities.

"About 30 million."

Surprised, dumbfounded.The population of this number was too impressive in ancient times thousands of years ago. "So many people! Although Thebes is very big, it is difficult to accommodate the sudden addition of tens of thousands of people, right? How to accommodate them?"

"Not all of them will enter the city. Except for the tens of thousands of people who have gone to several nearby cities, the remaining civilians will be divided into various construction sites outside the city. There are many temples under construction, palaces outside the city, and repairs. The Valley of the Kings needs manpower, and those places can provide shelter." Raising his eyebrows, he pointed to several places around Thebes, where the river floods every year and the civilians move in every year. If you make preparations in advance, everything can be carried out in an orderly manner.

"The Valley of the Kings..." He frowned and moaned softly.

"Well, you should have heard of it."

"I've heard of it." The place where the pharaohs of the past dynasties were buried is a huge royal tomb built against a valley. Most of the major archaeological discoveries about ancient Egypt in modern times have been excavated here.

"Want to take a look?"

Shaking her head, she felt a little tangled in her heart, and Xia Yuebai was driven by curiosity to see it.However, for some reason, my heart is trying to resist this kind of curiosity, for no reason. "……No."

"If you still want to go out of the palace to play, you should go there in these few days. When the common people move over, Thebes will be crowded." Looking sideways, Xia Yuebai's sudden silence felt abrupt, and she lowered her eyebrows in thought There was a trace of confusion that could not be avoided faintly on his face.

Tusasita didn't want to delve into what she was struggling with. She kindly reminded her, but she lowered her head again, looked at the map and said nothing.

"Understood." Suddenly he was not interested in anything, and his mood was gloomy. The golden coffin belonging to Tusasita that he saw in the museum always appeared in front of his eyes.

The dazzling and gorgeous coffin carries death, but it is above the real death...

"Tusasita."

"Huh?" Without looking up, she just responded lightly, her attention was still on the beautifully painted map.

Twisting her skirt, she opened her mouth cautiously, and she also looked at Tusasita cautiously. "Will all the pharaohs be buried in the Valley of the Kings after they die?"

Nodding casually, the ancestral system is here, even the pharaoh cannot find another cemetery after death.

A Valley of the Kings stretches over the Tomb of the Kings, a place that every pharaoh must do his best to protect during his lifetime, because not only his ancestors are buried there, but also his sacred home after death.

"If you're really interested there, find time for Marie to accompany you there." Pull out a roll of parchment from the scroll at hand, unfold it, and spread it on the map.

He hesitated, and didn't want to tell her that his interest in the Valley of the Kings was far less than his fear of it. Thinking that a valley is actually a cemetery, no matter how beautiful the scenery or how mysterious the holy place is, it is covered by this layer of haze. The gloomy smell of death enveloped her, and she couldn't help but feel a chilly wind blowing from her back.

Pressing down on the parchment with one hand and propping her forehead with the other, she stared at the gloomy Xia Yuebai at the table with a half-smile. This little girl who was smiling all day became depressed when she mentioned the Valley of the Kings. "What's wrong?"

Slightly startled, then she shook her head, Xia Yuebai stopped her wild thoughts under those smiling eyes entwined with the breeze.

"I still have a few documents for today. I'll go and finish copying them." She said without waiting for Tusasita to speak, and walked towards the small table on her own.

After a smile, the flickering brown eyes returned to the parchment, and the corners of the slightly raised lips curled into an unpredictable arc.

Walking down a few steps, he stopped hesitantly, turned his head quietly, and looked at Tusaxi Tower quietly through the pale golden summer wind.

His eyes flashed lightly, and his dark pupils reflected Tusahita who was reading the file with his head down, only to realize that from this angle, this queen is actually very beautiful... The quiet side face, the sharp-edged outline is covered by a few strands of hanging hair Blocked a little bit.

Silent lines, quiet breath, a kind of handsome and simple beauty... Such a beautiful face, after flying through time and space for more than 3000 years, unconsciously, it began to take root in my heart.

Xia Yuebai believes that even if she returns to her own world, she will never be able to forget this smiling foreign face, just like this real and strange experience has been deeply engraved in her life, No matter how hard it is to erase.

★★★★★★★★★

Nestling in the colorful and soft cushions, Luya took a bite of the halva, her charming eyebrows and eyes bent into a crescent moon in satisfaction, savoring the sweet softness, she glanced at Anashika who was sitting opposite and reading the letter silently, Putting down half a piece of candy, licking off the white powdered sugar on his fingertips, he asked curiously, "Sister, whose letter is it from?"

Without raising his head, his eyes were still focused on the parchment in his hand, and he said calmly, "Notice from the border."

"Border? Hittite border?"

"No, the border between Egypt and Libya."

"Are they going to war?"

She raised her eyebrows and raised her head, her dark red eyes sparkled with a doting smile, the blood-like eyes were infinitely soft and charming. "You also know?"

Luya nodded, curled her lips, and said dismissively: "You and Brother Wang talk about these things almost every day, and I'm tired of listening to them, and it doesn't make any sense at all."

He laughed it off and was silent.

"Sister, they are going to war, will it be dangerous for us to go to Egypt?"

"No, I'm here, you don't have to worry."

"Sister, I heard that the palace of Egypt is more beautiful than our palace, full of gold and rare treasures, is it true?"

Holding the corner of her mouth, she stretched out her hand to pick up the square towel on the table, gently wiped off the powdered sugar on the corner of Luya's mouth, and smiled disapprovingly, "It's a golden kingdom favored by the gods. In the eyes of the gods, gold Jewelry is nothing but dust, and Egypt is everywhere."

Immediately, a pair of beautiful eyes widened, with infinite longing and infinite reverie. "Really! Is Egypt really so rich? Sister, have you ever been to Egypt?" In my impression, Anashika always lived in a simple place, and seemed to have never left Hittite.

With a faint smile, he put away the letter, opened the curtain of the small window, glanced out of the window with his blood-cured red eyes, and said lightly, "I've been there."

Asked in surprise: "When?"

"...in a dream."

Outside the car window, the rolling green mountains are bathed in the tender sun, the birds chirping and the mountain wind swirling one after another, the horseshoes are accompanied by the heavy turning of the wheels, and the crisp friction sound of metal armor can be heard faintly.

"Dream?" Muttering in a low voice, Luya looked suspiciously at Anashika who was looking sideways out of the car window, and the more she listened, the more confused she became.

Eight strong tall horses pulled a huge black carriage, located in the middle of a mighty team, slowly moving forward on the lush green roads of the Anatolian Plateau, with clear marks made by the heavy ruts, The golden country extending along the summer wind to the desert.

The author has something to say: Autumn has come to update without breaking his promise, and the new year has begun, work hard, work hard and be happy!

Chapter 17

In the silent summer night like the deep sea, the silver waves are bright and the night wind is gentle.The lights are less than the moonlight, and the bustling palace has faded, showing another quiet and coquettish charm.

After spending most of the night tossing and turning on the bed, Xia Yuebai couldn't stand the rhythm of turning over pancakes, so Xia Yuebai sat up vigorously, without waking up Petunia next door, put on her shoes and left the room lightly.

Stepping out of the palace gate, I saw the guards belonging to Marie. They wanted to follow and protect them, but they were stopped by Xia Yuebai softly. Under the torn eyes of the young guards, Xia Yuebai stepped into the corridor leading to the main hall alone.

She just wanted to be alone and take a quiet walk.

A group of guards watching the night came towards her. When they passed by, Qi Qi nodded at her, with a little surprise flashing across their faces.

At this time, it is indeed a bit strange to meet the Pharaoh's servant in the corridor of the palace.

Smiling back, he passed by, and continued to casually walk down the empty corridor.

Xia Yuebai also didn't want to wander around the palace like a ghost in the middle of the night, but she really couldn't sleep, she didn't want to continue to suffer from insomnia, or she didn't want to be troubled by the cause of insomnia, she just wanted to run out to take a breath That's all.

He let out a long and heavy sigh, as if releasing all the pressure that bound his thoughts, but he still couldn't feel the ease of stretching, the terrible helplessness that your body can move freely, but your heart and mind are tightly imprisoned.

Once again, she sighed in disappointment.

It was a strange and lingering feeling that had been entangled with her thoughts all night like a rope. She had never felt this kind of feeling...

Close your eyes, open your eyes, you will always look like a person with a light smile.

Thinking about a woman's smile, isn't it too... weird.

I hate my uncontrollable brain, and even more hate that smiling face in my mind.

A gust of wind blows, and the hair scattered behind rises and falls along with the light skirt, fluttering lonely and beautifully.

Accompanied by the wind swirling under the dark night, a black figure quickly disappeared between the stone pillars of the palace ahead.

Suspecting that she was dazzled, Xia Yuebai stopped and looked at it with bated breath.

Almost at the moment when his eyes fell on the scattered stone pillars, the black figure flashed out from behind the pillars, and without stopping, he immediately turned into a path behind the group of stone pillars.

The fire there was not bright enough, and one could only vaguely see the black shadow quickly disappearing in the shadows of the pillars through the moon above, moving swiftly and swiftly, walking like a ghost in the palace where no one was at night.

Who would have such a sneaky behavior, not a guard, let alone a maid servant, who would it be?

As long as he yelled, the guards would gather over immediately, and the black shadow just now would be alarmed.Lowering her eyes and thinking for a moment, Xia Yuebai decided to go with her to check the situation first. In case she guessed wrong, her shouting might bring death to innocent people.

Lifting the skirt, he tiptoed and ran quickly towards the path, the moon slid over the winding skirt, shaking off a snow-white spectacle.

When Xia Yuebai chased after the path, she happened to see the black shadow moving fast against the wall. This path connected to the west side of the palace, where there were more than ten palaces of different sizes, most of which were the residences of the pharaoh's concubines.

Obviously, all of them are vacant now, and the reason is very simple...the current pharaoh is a queen, and naturally there will be no concubines.

The black shadow stopped by a door, looked left and right, reached out to push the door, and the figure disappeared inside the door in a flash.

Xia Yuebai didn't know what was inside that door, just judging from the appearance, it was nothing more than an ordinary palace in the palace, she was going to get close to that building to find out.

Leng Buding's mouth was covered by a hand stretched out from behind, and before she could utter an exclamation, an arm wrapped around her shoulder, and she embraced her instantly stiff body into the embrace behind her, with very light force, like a piece of night wind wrapped around her shoulder .

"Uh----" He raised his hands and grabbed the hand covering his mouth and nose, trying to break it apart.The slender and powerful hand did not move at all, a series of sobbing and trembling guttural sounds came from between the fingers, full of panic.

"Shh, it's me." She whispered softly in her ear, removed the hand covering her mouth, and Tusasita's eyes were still fixed on the palace in front of her.

Startled suddenly, Xia Yuebai stopped struggling, and Xia Yuebai smelled a smell that seemed to be fragrant but not fragrant, coming from the cold embrace behind her that did not belong to Xia Ye, and the slightest coolness was blowing against her. The warm breath in the ear is two completely different temperatures.

The stiff body didn't relax, being hugged by her like a log, Xia Yuebai didn't dare to breathe, until the hand on her mouth was removed, and the air flowed into her mouth again, she still maintained a slow breathing rhythm.

After a while, the overly frightened brain started working again, turned his head, stared at the face close at hand, and frowned. "Why are you here?"

She glanced sideways, glanced at her, and said words in a calm manner with her indifferent lips. "Chasing a kitten that ran out of the Amon Palace."

Slightly stunned, the roots of his ears were burning hot, for some reason.

Silent, looking down at the arms still around the shoulders, Tussita's grip on her shoulders was very light, a faint feeling, like the pair of brown eyes quietly gazing into the night.

"What is that palace for?" Putting away his chaotic thoughts, he asked her.

"It's where my mother lived."

"..." Surprised and puzzled, with a vague premonition. "Why did he go in?"

"I want to know, too," she said, a gleam of sullenness brushing past the bottom of her brown eyes, and the golden pupils shone.

"Do you want to call the guards?" This place has long been empty, even if there are still valuable things in the palace, but compared to the magnificent Egyptian palace, you can easily pry a gem on the wall, enough for food and clothing After several years of worry-free life, why do you have to sneak into the place where Tusasita's mother used to live.

"Wait a while." His eyes moved, because a strange figure appeared beside the familiar door.

Following her gaze, the black figure just slipped out of the door, and saw that person turned around and carefully closed the door. Seeing that he was about to leave, Xia Yuebai showed an anxious expression. "Tusasita, if you don't call the guards, he will run away."

"Let him go." He said, his eyes were cold, and no expression could be read in the faint eyes.

Startled, Huo Di raised his head and stared straight at her. "Go? What if he is a thief?"

"There's nothing worth stealing inside." Brown eyes, parted a little, looked at the palace settled in the dark night.

"Don't you want to know what he's doing sneaking in there?"

"I'll know, Yuebai." When the black shadow completely disappeared into the depths of the courtyard, she smiled and said softly, "As long as you do me a favor."

What on earth is this man thinking? He is smiling so secretly, as if he has carefully woven a trap, waiting for the prey to throw himself into the net. "Help... how?"

Let go of the arms around Xia Yuebai's shoulders, turn around and walk out from the corner where they were hiding, look at her with tilted head, and smile mischievously like a child. "Can you act?"

"No." Shaking her head, her back felt cold, was she worried about herself?

"Then do it once." Raising his eyebrows, he raised his fingers and pulled the slightly messy hair in the wind behind him. The luxurious and soft long black hair condensed the moonlight, shining a layer of glamorous luster of fine dark blue, without any scruples Yang was in Xia Yuebai's eyes full of doubts.

"Tusasita?"

"It's late at night, let's go back." He glanced at the empty palace in the distance, turned around and took big steps, letting the corners of his white robe be blown up by the night wind.Without looking back, he just raised his hand and beckoned at the stunned person behind him.

Looking back, his questioning eyes swept across the blurred buildings under the night, swallowing a strange feeling of worry, followed Tusasita's unhesitating pace, and the two walked away quickly one after the other.

The night behind him was a silent space with bright moonlight, and the pervasive sound of the wind filled the courtyard, not letting go of a single corner.

★★★★★★★★★

In today's morning meeting, there were obviously more people than usual.

Xia Yuebai was still sitting in her own little corner, copying documents that would never be finished in her lifetime. Compared with the jerkyness when she was a beginner, she is now able to write proficiently, and Tusa Sita did not continue to criticize her ugly handwriting. He would still look at the papyrus she handed over, with a little surprise on his face, nod and smile approvingly.

It has been affirmed by the Egyptian pharaoh, which is definitely the biggest progress in learning ancient Egyptian.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he could see the young queen on the throne listening to the official's report, with the same calm expression as before, with the shallow and elegant arc on the corner of her lips, still leisurely and leisurely, making people...frightened.

After maintaining the posture of resting her forehead with one hand for a long time, Tusasita seemed to be tired. She put down her hand and leaned against the soft back of the chair. She moved her body slightly and found a comfortable position to continue listening to the official. report on the upper reaches of the Nile.

"Boom!" The crisp impact came from the moment the cup in Xia Yuebai's hand fell to the ground. When only one official was speaking in the empty meeting room, the cup fell on the hard marble floor, and then rolled all the way on the smooth ground. The crisp sound of running forward was really harsh.

Good show, officially staged.

Turning his face away, he looked at the girl with hands and feet, and frowned slightly displeased. "What's wrong?"

Petunia hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the cup that rolled to a minister's feet and stopped, bent down and retreated behind Xia Yuebai, handed the old cup to the maid at the side, took a new cup, and placed it on the table again Fill it with water.

"I accidentally knocked it down, I'm sorry." With a smiling face, Xia Yuebai looked at everyone in embarrassment and lowered his head.

He frowned, then relaxed again. "You don't look very good, go back if you feel uncomfortable."

"Yes." Standing up, the speed was a little faster, and the body shook slightly unsteadily. Petunia immediately reached out to support her, and softly told her to slow down.

"Are you sick?" He asked with concern, temporarily leaving the ministers with different faces aside.

"No, no." She hurriedly covered it up, smiled lightly, brushed her hair behind her ears, and her eyes flickered.

"Let the doctor take a look."

"No, I'm fine, it's just... I just didn't sleep well." He hurriedly stopped, his face showed embarrassment, and his fair skin was covered with a layer of blush, instantly.

"Didn't sleep well?" His voice was flat, his brows furrowed uncontrollably.

Finding that everyone was looking at her, she spoke awkwardly. "It was too hot to sleep last night, so I was walking outside the Amon Palace, so I saw, saw..."

"What did you see?" He asked unhurriedly, his brown eyes swept towards the chamber calmly, and the piercing golden flare flickered unpredictablely in the depths of his pupils.

"I saw a strange figure and ran to the west of the palace." After finishing speaking in one breath, the corner of his eye glanced at the figures in the middle of the hall.

In silence, Tusasita's plain gaze stayed at the bottom of the pair of dark eyes like night, and raised his eyebrows very shallowly, only the two of them could understand the mischievous meaning.

Slowly, those brown eyes facing the sun moved to the people in the hall, their wandering eyes were like a hot whip, only lightly touching the nervous and flustered eyes of the ministers, they seemed to be splashed by boiling oil. , Immediately lowered his head and bent down timidly.

"Hoctimus."

"The minister is here."

"Your subordinate Duo Kui is in charge of the army guarding the palace, right?"

"Yes, the palace guards have always been managed by the minister's deputy, Duo Kui."

"Send him to see me."

"Yes, King."

Xia Yuebai sat down again, with slightly lowered eyebrows, and a clever smile that no one saw.She glanced in the direction of Tusa Sita, subconsciously.

She was drinking, her eyes were lowered, and her expression was indifferent and serious.

Suddenly, a cold gaze came from the dense crowd, which made Xia Yuebai's whole body shudder. She quickly looked at the ministers in the hall, and her eyes were full of bowed and cautious figures. The gloomy gaze cast on her just now, All of a sudden it disappeared.

Hei Tong shrank, frowned, and remained silent.

After a while, the guard outside the door announced that the person had arrived.

"King." A few steps forward, Duo Kui knelt down.

"Duo Kui, there was a suspicious person in the palace last night, why didn't you report it?" Putting down her wine glass, she looked at the strong man kneeling in the hall, and asked in a calm tone without the slightest warmth.

"Suspicious person?!" He was taken aback in shock, and broke out in a cold sweat along the way.He raised his head, and replied in a panicked voice: "I didn't receive such a report, so I didn't---- Wang, it was my negligence, please forgive my sin." Realizing that my defense would only anger Tusasita , Duo Kui lowered his body, pressed his forehead to the ground, and spoke in awe and timidity.

"The defense of the royal palace is so lax that outsiders can easily enter and leave the harem freely. Has the royal palace of Egypt become a tavern in Thebes?" The small voice was enough to spread throughout the huge hall, not angry Ziwei's cold tone, through her calm expression, was like a strong wind blowing from the desert, quickly eroding everyone's eyes and breathing. When everyone hurriedly knelt down, Tusasita raised her thick black eyebrows mockingly , A sharp dark light flashed in the depths of the eyes, like a lightning that tore apart the storm and threw it into the roaring sea.

"Hoctimus, thoroughly investigate all the guards last night, and those who were able to enter the palace with their badges after nightfall. Give me a result within three days."

"Yes."

Everyone pressed down their heads that were already close to the ground, and the moment they heard the person on the throne get up.

"I don't want to hear this kind of thing for the second time, so you can do it for yourself." She spoke, and with her pleasant but extremely cold voice, once again pushed the cold atmosphere that froze people's breathing to another new freezing point.

Walking around the huge and gorgeous throne, Tusasita looked down at Xia Yuebai from a high position, raised her finger, and gave her a tick.

Xia Yuebai gave her a sneering look at the vicious little gesture, as if calling her pet, in exchange for Tusasita's cocky and silent laugh.

One after the other, Xia Yuebai stepped out of the exquisite and luxurious meeting room, which was already extremely cold. Xia Yuebai held Petunia and muttered something in a low voice, and Petunia nodded cautiously.

★★★★★★★★★

"My acting skills can win an Oscar!" Xia Yuebai said with a smile as she walked beside Tusasita triumphantly, shaking her head.

He looked at her with a smile and said nothing.

"What should we do now? If you scare them, can you catch the thief?" I don't know who to blame for the incident last night, so let's just treat him as a thief for now.

"Maybe, maybe not." He said ambiguously.

"If I can't catch him, it will be a waste of my acting ability."

"Those who are timid will definitely show their flaws. Those who are courageous will also restrain their behavior and will not mess around for the time being."

"Aren't you worried?" I really don't understand how the queen can be so calm and calm when someone is sneaking around in her home.

Glancing at her, he gently held the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, with a hint of dejection and helplessness. "I'm worried... But things must be prioritized. Now is not the time to worry about a single figure."

"You are worrying about Libya. Is there no news on the border?"

"Have."

"How's it going?"

"Why do you suddenly start to care about the affairs of Egypt? Do you want to stay?" A group of maids walking towards them immediately retreated to the side of the corridor and knelt down after seeing Tusasita.

Sweeping at these submissive maids, they were carrying rattan baskets with various items in them, and they should be busy for the coming New Year. "I live here, of course I should pay close attention to whether Egypt will go to war. I should be concerned about the safety of this country, which is also concerned about my own safety."
