Moon Wake Heyang

Secondly, Unas was injured and it was inconvenient to rush on the road immediately. It is better to postpone the trip and wait for Thebes to send someone to pick him up.
But what Arnis didn't expect was that it was Tusahita who came to pick him up.
The last time we met was two years ago, when Tusahita went to the Delta for inspection and visited him when passing through Memphis. She only stayed for three short days before leaving in a hurry.
Looking at his younger sister, the queen who holds the lifeblood of Egypt, her unruly and steady aura has not diminished but increased, and the plundering arrogance that can be retracted freely is even more ostentatious than two years ago.
"When are you going to tell me that you have become so sick?" The moderate voice was full of sullen tone, and what was more gloomy than her dark voice were her eyes, which were shrouded in coldness His brown eyes were filled with a kind of helpless and anxious gaze.
He smiled indifferently. "It's not as serious as Wang said."
"You think I'm blind, can't you see how bad you look like?"
"I dare not treat the king as blind."
"The people around you should be executed, but they actually helped you to deceive me." He said expressionlessly, and suddenly clenched the armrest of the rattan chair, with blue veins in his knuckles, and a trace of violent murderous intent leaked from his fingers.
"My lord, why take your anger out on them, blame me if you want, it has nothing to do with them." Softly comforting, her pale face flushed slightly, and she frowned.
She turned her face away and said nothing.
Sighing, Alnis leaned on the soft cushion, a few strands of hair fell off his shoulders and hung weakly on his chest, fingering the ends of the hair once and for all, and said, "My lord, what are you going to do with her?"
"Can you find a way to send her back?" Responding to the question, she looked at him again.
His eyes flickered, he pondered for a moment, then shook his head slowly. "cannot."
Frowning, he asked. "No way at all?"
Shaking his head firmly, he opened his mouth helplessly. "The gate of time and space is in the hands of God. Even if I have the ability to see into the future, I don't have the divine power to open that gate. In this world, it is impossible for mortals to possess such great power."
Eyes closed, silence.
"Wang, I have carefully tried several times, no matter what method I use, I can't see her future. If I can't see her future, it means that she has... no future in our world." There is a future, but he can't see Xia Yuebai's future, no matter what the reason is, this is quite worrying.
"There is no future..." She repeated it, her expression lightened, and a dark light flashed across her eyes, too fast.
Arnis quietly observed her expression. This handsome and deep outline was dyed with golden sunshine, warm color, and faintly exuded a silent and gloomy light, which inexplicably made people's hearts tugged. "Wang, what are you worried about?"
"Yuebai will be very disappointed to hear that you can't help her go home." In a low voice, the tone was vague.
Inexplicably, Arnis frowned, looking at the figure in white at the table.Suddenly, he felt a trance and uneasiness.
"I'll go and see Unas, you rest first, and leave tomorrow." She stood up and cast a smiling indifferent look at Alnis.
"Okay." Nodding slightly, watching Tusasita turn and leave, following her slender back and disappearing by the door, Arnis leaned back on the couch wearily, and sighed deeply again.
Although he couldn't see Xia Yuebai's future, he could clearly see the Egyptian queen's future - death.
As time goes by, it gets closer and closer.
How to let him open his mouth and tell her everything about her fate in the world soon... He couldn't say it, he really couldn't say it.
Four years ago, when he saw her future for the first time, he concealed everything and stubbornly left Thebes in order to study how to help her turn things around in a place far away from Tusasita.
He tried his best to change the future of Tusashita, and tried to change her life with his own innate ability.In the end, the result was that she was accompanied by her own body, and she still couldn't change the trajectory of her life that was heading towards death.
Not only that, as her body deteriorated day by day, Xia Yuebai's traces were even leaked, completely exposing her to that person, and she was brought to ancient Egypt by an unknown force.
This mysterious power from nowhere is full of irresistible energy, and this power is an ability that I cannot match.The only thing Arnis can be sure of is that this aura of both demon and god is approaching Egypt, and it will appear in front of him in the near future.
★★★★★★★★★
After four years of separation from Thebes, this majestic royal city is still so shocking. The air is full of rich spices, filled with exquisite and luxurious atmosphere, and the sun that scorches the earth is scorching hot. A sprawling city was plated with a dazzling gold.
The arrival of Alnis has injected an extremely joyful atmosphere into Thebes. This high priest, who is deeply loved by the people, returned to Thebes on the occasion of the New Year, which really surprised and ecstatic everyone.
Not afraid of the hot summer heat, people formed a spontaneous welcome team from the city gate all the way to the palace square. They chanted the slogans of "Great Pharaoh" and "High Priest", and bowed devoutly on both sides of the road, with faces full of respect. Looking reverently at the mighty chariots and horses passing by.

Standing anxiously outside the door, Xia Yuebai looked at the two hollowed-out wooden doors that were half-covered. Dim light and shadows leaked out from the gaps in the hollow carvings. Shaking figures could be vaguely discerned, accompanied by subtle noises from the door. came out.
The maid pushed open the door from the inside, bowed towards Xia Yuebai, and said softly: "Miss Xia, the king invites you in."
Smiling and nodding, he walked into the room.
He was led by a maid to a small indoor garden, and after two turns in the winding corridor, he finally entered the inner court located deep in the palace.
Signaling Xia Yuebai to enter the room, the maid quietly stepped aside.
I straightened my skirt and stepped into the room carefully. The faint fragrance penetrated into my breath along with the breeze. Unlike the strong fragrance used in other palaces, the fragrance of this room is very light and feels very comfortable.
Looking up, Xia Yuebai was taken aback by the familiar figure by the window, and quietly moved away from his flickering gaze, hastily and hastily.
Tusasita was sitting by the window, with slightly curved brown eyes, she had a panoramic view of Xia Yuebai's clumsy averting her eyes, and she raised the corners of her mouth, a pleasant smile blurred out of her golden pupils, soundlessly. "Yuebai, come and meet my brother, the great high priest of Egypt."
Following the direction of her slightly raised chin, Xia Yuebai looked forward, and there was a young man sitting on a huge golden soft couch.
The somewhat pale side face was half-hidden by the long hair, and the golden red light of the setting sun outlined a delicate outline, leaning against the rattan couch, carelessly exuding a layer of extremely lazy beauty...
I never thought that I would use "beautiful" to describe a man. This man who is so beautiful that he can't even confuse his gender is his hope to leave this world.
However, Xia Yuebai's heart felt slightly chilled, just like Arnis's eyes fell on her face.
"What a rare beauty." Youyou said, Arnis waved to her with a smile, and said softly, "Come, sit beside me."
"Yes." Slightly stunned, he glanced at the person by the window, walked to the couch and sat down.
Looking at the young girl sitting beside him, he spoke with a smile. "My lord, why didn't you tell me that our distinguished guest from Egypt is so beautiful?"
Tusasita raised his eyebrows at him, his ambiguous smile was scattered in the delicate breeze by the window, a gleam of brightness flashed across his brown eyes, and he remained silent.
"Your name is Xia Yuebai?" He asked sideways.
"Yes, you can call me Moon White." So close, she could see the hidden blood vessels under Arnis's pale skin. The man's complexion was sickly fair, completely different from Tusasita's healthy wheat color .
"Yuebai, my name is Alnis, you must have heard others mention me, right?"
"Yes."
"Yuebai, I know everything about you. I can't help you return to your world, I'm sorry." He told the truth straightforwardly, he didn't want to go around in circles, after all, his abilities were limited.
"..." Suddenly, disappointment hit her head.
Although he had already prepared in his heart, when he heard him say this straight to the point.For a moment, she still wanted to cry.
He lowered his head to hide the tears in his eyes.
A sigh came from the window.
"Wang, can you let Yuebai and I be alone for a while."
Nodding, her eyes fell on the slender silhouette curled up in a ball by the couch, Tusasita moved her lips, and her eyes touched Arnis's blocking eyes, her jaw tightened, and she stood up silently, her gloomy gaze was on Xia Yue's face. Bai stayed on Bai's body for a moment, then quietly stepped out of the room.
"Yuebai, don't be sad, although I can't help you. But I will continue to think of a way, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will do my best." Comforting softly, I couldn't bear to see the helpless and helpless look on this young girl's face.
He raised his head, sucked his nose, and choked up a little. "Thank you."
"I want to ask you a few questions to help me learn more about the situation."
He smiled feebly, nodded and said, "Just ask."
Smiling softly, Alnis paused for a while, and then asked out the doubts in his heart. The sun slid into the window sill from the courtyard, and a colorful halo flowed quietly in the slightly drunken fragrance. people's words.
★★★★★★★★★
For several days in a row, Xia Yuebai did not go to Nanyuan, she stayed in her room, sat by the window without saying a word, looking at the lush green shade, quietly dazed and lost in thought.
Petunia was secretly anxious, seeing Xia Yuebai getting more and more depressed day by day, that beautiful face that had lost her smile was densely shrouded in a terrible gray despair, as if a dense fog that could not be dispelled had completely wiped her out. Trapped, blocking all information between her and the outside world.
Sometimes, you talk to her and she just sits quietly, you don't even feel her presence, and this kind of self-isolation goes on and on, and it's so severe that it's scary.
Petunia stood by her side every step of the way, anxious and helpless, for the silent Xia Yuebai, Petunia didn't know how to comfort her.
Unas has been here a few times and saw Xia Yuebai with a strong smile. He raised his gentle and handsome smile and said words of comfort. Those weak words were as unconvincing as his smile.
Arnis called Xia Yuebai once, and when she came back from him, apart from a dejected look, there was only a pair of indifferent, empty eyes... Her silence, her depression, became even more bottomless , almost devouring all of her sporadic remnants of breath.
"King." Seeing the person walking in, Petunia quickly knelt down and saluted respectfully.
The eyes that have been staring at Xia Yuebai since entering the room have not moved away, the person by the window has not moved, the evening wind is entangled in her dark hair like night, if it is not for the soft hair tip shaking lightly in the wind, You'd almost think it was a statue frozen in moonlight.
"Moon White."
There was silence, so quiet that Tusasita frowned unconsciously.
"Yuebai..." He spoke again, with a slightly louder voice.
For a moment, the figure by the window moved, turned his head dullly, and cast a blank gaze at her with black eyes.
For a moment, there was a faint pain in my heart. "Come with me."
"Where are you going?" His voice was dry.
"Leaving the palace." Leaving one sentence behind, she turned around and left.
Sighing helplessly, Xia Yuebai had no choice but to pull himself together as he watched Tusasita's stubborn back when he left. He took the cloak that Petunia handed him, and walked weakly into the dimly lit corridor.
★★★★★★★★★
The horse galloped, leaving Thebes far behind the billowing smoke and dust, and heard the sound of the thick waves of the Nile River, thinking that it would stop by the river, but Tusasita did not rein in the horse, and the horse team galloped along the river beach After a few minutes, a large wooden boat suddenly appeared in Xia Yuebai's slightly startled eyes.
There was no pause, Tusasita let out a low snort, the horse stepped on the pedals to the wide deck, and the iron hooves stepped on the solid wooden boards, making a dull and regular rhythm, just like the deafening muffled thunder, accompanied by the rolling of the river. The blackness of the night was stirring.
Sitting quietly in front of Tusa Sita, following the undulating hull, Xia Yuebai's body was slightly undulating, but Xia Yuebai's mood was calm and stable. Her black hair was wrapped around her eyes and her eyes were confused by the roaring river wind. The scenery is not very clear, only a stretching black shadow can be discerned in a hurry.
I don't know where they are going, and I don't want to ask.
The indifferent black eyes blended into the color of the sky, making them look dull and dull.
The boat sailed across the river, the guards set up the steps, and Tusasita dismounted from the boat, and they never left the horse from the beginning to the end.
There were no torches on the other side of the river, the only light was the huge moon overhead.After continuing for more than ten minutes, Xia Yuebai could feel the ground change, and the sound of the horse's hooves became smaller and smaller. Looking at the plains that couldn't be seen all around by the moonlight, he realized that they had crossed the river and came to the west bank of Thebes. ...
Thebes is a huge city straddling the banks of the Nile River. The east bank is the political center, and the city revolves around the palace, where trade and daily life are carried out; while the west bank is the religious center, where a large number of temples gather. The valley is here.
The wind blowing on the face has lost the rich smell of spices that filled the streets and alleys of ancient Egypt, and a strange smell is vaguely mixed in the raised dust, like the smell of fresh soil, or like dust being blown into the earth. Choking in the air.
Xia Yuebai couldn't help coughing a few times, her back bumped into the person behind her, rubbing against a faint warmth, mixed with the coolness of the evening wind.
Covering his mouth and nose, his eyes swept across the dark front, and vaguely saw a building lying on the edge of the desert plain, swaying silver light in the moonlight.
When they got close to the building, Xia Yuebai finally saw its true face - tall and neat columns, wide and exquisite door eaves, straight and flat stairs, it looked like a palace, but it was bigger than any other palace in the palace. They all look streamlined and solemn, this place should be a temple.
Tusa Sita tightened the reins, and the horse neighed and stopped.
Turning over and dismounting, Tusaxita glanced at the guards behind him, motioned for them to wait outside, helped Xia Yuebai off the horse, and the two of them stepped up the stone ladder one after the other.
Walking into the temple, the inside is very quiet, like a bottomless abyss frozen in the night, silent, deep, and dark.
Every few stone pillars has a brass platform carved with exquisite patterns, and a huge brazier is placed on it. The golden flames protrude out of the mouth of the basin, swaying beautifully, and complement each other with the silver moonlight projected through the gate. A dreamy space where water and fire blend together.
I don't understand why Tusasita brought her here. This temple looks like it has been around for some years, and the color of some murals is slightly peeled off, revealing a mottled background.
"Where is this?" Following her, looking around, there are several huge statues standing not far away. In addition to the sun god worshiped by the ancient Egyptians, there are several other gods.
"Guna Temple."
"What are you doing here?"
He looked sideways, glanced at her, held the corner of his mouth, and spoke softly. "Take you out to relax."
Startled, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, instantly.
Feeling something, Tusasita looked at her unexpectedly, with a casual arc on her lips that seemed to be a half-smile.
"...Thank you." The heart suddenly felt like it was tightly blocked by a mass of things, and it was so stuffy that it was hard to breathe...
Wan Er smiled, looked back at a semi-circular stone door, behind which a winding staircase was exposed, Tusasita stepped forward, pulled out a torch from the wall beside the door, and stepped on the stairs first.
Looking up and looking inside, the stone ladder slowly extended upwards in a spiral shape, but I couldn't see where the end point was.
Lifting the hem of the skirt lightly, he followed her up the stairs.
No one has been here for a long time, and the stairs are covered with dust. With the sweeping of the corners of the skirt, a layer of fine dust is lifted up, floating in the flickering light refracted by the torch.
Xia Yuebai didn't count exactly how many steps they climbed, but only knew that her legs were already starting to feel sore, and the whirlpool of stairs that made people dizzy still didn't come to an end.Looking up at Tusa Sita who was walking in front holding the torch, she didn't seem to feel tired at all, her steps were leisurely and light, her white back was covered with flickering bright flames, a shadow slipped along her robe and fell on her feet side.
Adjusting his breathing, he stretched out his hand to wipe off the fine sweat on his forehead. When he raised his head again, he found a ray of light falling on the steps ahead, and the cool air rushed in immediately, blowing away the stuffy heat in the narrow space.
Stepping on the last step, the field of vision suddenly widened, and the whole body was immersed in the silver like water and waves, and the night wind shook the long hair behind him, flying gracefully like waves...
As far as the eye can see, there is a vast world outlined by a single stroke of the moonlight night... The wide terrace blooms unobstructed under the deep black starry sky, with exquisite and elegant beauty, as delicate and quiet as the beginning of the world.
Very slowly, turning around in a circle, looking around the place where she was, Xia Yuebai stared at everything intently, with amazed and amazed eyes.
Suddenly, she felt the blood rushing violently in her body, and the numb soul she thought would never feel anything, quietly tasted another strange emotion that was both joy and surprise...
Chapter 21
Quietly, the moonlight flows silently.
Quietly staring at the surrounding scenery, afraid that the trembling breathing on his lips would be too hard, waking up the ethereal and dreamlike beauty in front of him.
Taking steps carefully, step by step, his own shadow is hidden by the rippling skirt, like a timid child who suddenly breaks into a wonderful world, tightly sticking to Xia Yuebai's equally hesitant feet.
Tusasita threw the torch into the brazier, and a roll of flames stretched out, and as the wood cracked crisply in the fire, the night wind shook the golden flame.
Looking back, she glanced at the person walking behind, Xia Yuebai's undisguised astonished expression reflected the red firelight, adding a layer of crystal clear honey color that made people want to touch it lightly.
Withdrawing his gaze, he smiled faintly, the hair flying in the wind blocked the fleeting tenderness in Tusasita's eyes.
"How did you find this place? It's so...beautiful!" Admired, from the heart.
Tusasita walked to the edge of the roof and stood still, overlooking the thick, ink-like night beneath his feet, scattered light scattered throughout, and the sound of rolling waves could be faintly heard. "I used to come here a lot when I was a kid."
"When I was a child? You were a princess, can you leave the palace casually?" When she came to her side, the overwhelming darkness occupied the vast space, and even more so occupied her stunning black eyes.
"I left the palace when I was seven years old and lived in Bahari's mansion."
Looking sideways, she looked at her through the beautiful night wind, without saying a word.
Sensing Xia Yuebai's gaze, Tusasita looked at her, her brown eyes were filled with the rich night color, and the sharp golden spots were dormant in her eyes, like a beast lurking in the depths of the night, silently holding her breath to look at everything.
Look away, in a hurry.Afraid that she would look at him with such eyes, her breathing became sluggish under her gaze. "I heard Arnis say that you moved to Bahari's house when you were very young, and you didn't move back to the palace until you...you inherited the throne."
Laughing, looking forward again. "What did he tell you?"
"Say very little, just a little."
"Did he tell you that I killed a lot of people, including my half-brothers?"
In fact, even if Alnis didn't say anything, Xia Yuebai already knew these things from historical materials.It's just that I don't believe those pale written records at all.
She was shaken by the queen who was with her day and night beside her.
"I forgot, you should have known these things a long time ago... I am in your world, it is already history."
Xia Yuebai wanted to justify something, her breathing became chaotic, her thoughts became even more chaotic, and she fell silent.
His eyes flickered, he looked up at the sky, and whispered. "Yuebai, since you can't return to your own world right now, you still have to continue your current life. As long as you live, you can't give up hope."
"Hope...it's too slim. Alnis said there's no other way. What hope can I have?" Disappointed, or desperate, she didn't know what else she could hope for.
Home, relatives, and the original life are all so far away, blocked by a strange time and space, where she can't touch at all.
Raising his hand, pointing to the sparse light in the distance, he said, "That's the bonfire on the wall of Thebes. They burn day and night and never go out."
Following her guidance, there are many bright spots in the distant place, like a fiery dragon with trembling golden scales, quietly lying on the edge of the desert stirred by the wind of the Lie Lie River, shining in the deep night sky, flickering abruptly in the dark world middle.
"If one day they go out, it will be the time when Thebes falls." With a soft and pleasant voice, Tusasita's smile was still indifferent and unable to discern any emotions when he said creepy words.
Surprised, instantly.After taking a look at Tusa Sita, Xia Yuebai felt a little cold in her palms.
"These bonfires, they are the hope of this city, the hope of everyone in this city. As long as people look up and see the bonfires burning on the tower, they can live in peace of mind, and their hope is still there."
The wind, under the rippling moonlight, rolls the fine sand and hovers around the feet. A burst of subtle movements comes from all directions, the quiet and beautiful but restless moon night.
"You have lost the hope of reuniting with your loved ones, but you have not lost the hope of living. There are still many things in life worth looking forward to. Yuebai, you are very smart, I think you will understand."
"Tusasita...thank you."
Smile, as gentle as the cold moonlight flowing in the dark night, soothing the heat of summer night meticulously and silently.Sitting down, Tusasita silently looked at the distant night scene without speaking.
Sitting next to her on the edge of the terrace, with his legs hanging out of the eaves, he glanced down, at least seven or eight floors high, so dark that he couldn't see the ground clearly.
"The little rhyme that Arnis said was the song your mother hummed when she put you to sleep. I really want to thank this lullaby. If I didn't have it, I would have been killed by you." Looking sideways at Tusa Sita, the silver moonlight licked a beautiful side face, the elegant lines outlined the beauty of firmness and flexibility, and there was a faint arrogance in the delicate and silent breath.
Turning her face to look at Xia Yuebai, she raised her eyebrows slightly. "Are you trying to accuse me of killing innocent people in a different way?"
"I dare not accuse the Queen of Egypt, it's just a matter of fact."
"If I really wanted to kill you, the arrow wouldn't have shot in your leg."
"Yes, Wang's archery is superb, I have personally learned it." Rolling his eyes, his teeth itch with hatred.Tusasita's undisguised arrogance always makes people inexplicably manic.
He smiled without saying a word, and looked back to the front with a quiet expression.
Looking at her through the night wind flying past her face, her eyes followed the breeze gently around the silent person beside her, Xia Yuebai's eyes were slightly confused in the night, for some reason. "Just one sentence?"
"What?" She threw a question without thinking, which made Tusasita frowned in confusion.
"That little ballad, are there any other sentences?"
"Yes, you want to hear it?"
"Yeah." Nodding seriously, with a sincere expression.
"On the Nile River, there is snow-white moonlight floating, like your wings, embracing me in your arms. In the Nile River, there are green waves cruising, like my tears, melting your heart. I embrace the moonlight, I embrace you Ride the waves of the river and fall asleep. My child, I will always be by your side."
Her voice was very soft, deep and gentle, revealing a strange power that charmed people's hearts, as if the temperature of a flame was rubbed out by the darkness of the night, silently scalding the whirling and dancing night wind.
Xia Yuebai listened quietly, not understanding that just a few simple words actually gave her the illusion of being addicted.The breath from the lips is very light, and the heartbeat is as light as feathers falling down.
However, it seemed that something suddenly became heavy, entangled her thoughts, and felt a sense of helplessness in the vastness of time and space falling in weightlessness... Her eyes flickered, and a faint moonlight gleamed in her eyes, shining softly With a silver haze.
"Your mother, loves you and Alnis very much."
Looking down, watching his fingertips flicking the ring back and forth, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes, and his voice revealed a sluggish smile. "She is a docile and quiet woman. Like all mothers in the world, she loves her children very much, but she is powerless to protect them."
"Born in the royal family, no one can really protect anyone. Although the same blood flows, it is not uncommon for brothers to fight against each other for the sake of the supreme royal power." All living beings in ancient and modern China and abroad cannot escape the temptation of power. It is a dark corner of human nature that can never be illuminated.
Smiling, looking sideways, eyes flickering lightly, lips hooked with a touch of mischievousness in the moonlight night. "Little girl, do you know what power killing is? Look at what you said, as if you have experienced it yourself."
Xia Yuebai decided not to care about her arrogant and contemptuous tone. "I haven't experienced it, and I don't want to experience this kind of thing. It's much happier to be a common people than princes and nobles."
Smiled, half acquiescence, half helpless.
"Can you sing little ballads?" Asked curiously, Xia Yuebai twisted her hair between her fingers and flicked it back and forth.
In silence, Tusasita looked into the distance, as if he didn't hear the voice from beside him.
Tilting her head and looking at her with a smile, Xia Yuebai had already developed immunity to the queen's indifferent attitude, and Xia Yuebai spoke again in a self-contained manner. "Tusasita, sing it to me."
"Do you know what you asked for?" He looked sideways, his eyes indifferent.
"I know, let you sing a little ballad."
"Do you know who I am?"
"Pharaoh, Queen of Egypt." The answer was reasonable, with a silly serious smile on his face.
Turning his eyes away, his eyes were filled with the dense night, and some other things were faintly flickering on and off. "Do you think I can sing to please you?"
"To please? I just want to listen to a song. Once you say such a simple thing, it will turn sour. Forget about not singing. Go back and ask Alnis to sing it to me. He will definitely be willing." Frowning, really Unable to understand Tusasita's thinking, let her sing a lullaby. How can she describe it so seriously... Pleasant, thanks to her thinking.
"Have you been so lawless since you were a child?" With one hand propped on the ground and the other on his bent knee, he tapped his fingertips in a careless rhythm to the whistling evening wind.
"If asking others to sing a song is considered lawless, then I have been like this since I was a child." Xia Yuebai raised her chin confidently, and Xia Yuebai spoke plausibly.
A low laugh slipped out, and with the bright moonlight flickering between her brows, the brown eyes revealed traces of helpless pampering. "Exchange one condition with me, and I'll sing."
"What conditions?"
"Tomorrow, come to Nanyuan to copy documents."
I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't expect Tusasita's condition to be this.Suddenly, there was a ripple in the bottom of my heart, like a pool of water rippling without wind, disturbing the quiet mood. The heart became very strange amidst such turbulent fluctuations... some unspeakable joy, some Panic that can't be explained, and a mess of depression that can't be figured out.
His eyebrows drooped slightly, and after a while, he raised his face to look at her.The smile is as delicate as the moonlight, brilliant and bright. "good."
A trace of strangeness flashed across the dark brown pupils, and a dazzling light burst out from the pale golden pupils.The gaze lingering on Xia Yue's white face was quietly withdrawn by Tusasita, and the waves roiling silently in his eyes could not be calmed down for a while.
A long sigh came from the moment when Tusasi Tower looked at Thebes again.
The moment this little life-saving rhyme overflowed from her mouth, Xia Yuebai forgot to move away the astonishing eyes glued to her face, and was completely stunned by this exotic and simple tune.
The deep and melodious voice faded away from the usual indifferent and arrogant tone; the gentle and delicate expression concealed the stern majesty of the king on weekdays.
At this moment, Tusasita is more like a traveler who has traveled all over the world, suave and leisurely, gentle and affectionate, exuding a free and easy beauty that is both evil and devil.
How many people can see such an Egyptian queen with their own eyes...
The heart was slowly sinking, and as the night wind infiltrated the beauty of Tusa Sita's singing, Xia Yuebai finally stopped clinging to the bitter feeling of homesickness, she tried to let go of her hand slowly... the last trace of her heart could not return The sadness of the homeland is like the thick fog that lingers on the lake in the morning, gradually dissipating in the thousands of rays of morning light.
Yes, Tusahita is right, hope... is always there, as long as you don't give up.
The queen's comforting words made people feel warm and comfortable. Although they were just a few plain words, they gave Xia Yuebai, who was sinking day by day, another reason to continue to be strong.
Concentrating on the young woman singing melodiously beside her, she was intoxicated by the word-for-word words pouring into her eardrums, Xia Yuebai raised the corners of her mouth, smiling calmly and happily...
★★★★★★★★★
Holding a few scrolls, she walked into the back garden of Arnis' bedroom. These scrolls were lent to her by Arnis, and the stories recorded in them were all related to the Egyptian gods. After reading these parchments, Xia Yuebai realized that she was very The understanding of the ancient Egyptian gods is so poor.
I plan to return these scrolls to him, and by the way, ask for some parts that I don't understand.
"General, Your Highness is busy at the moment and cannot see you. Please go back." The maid bowed and said softly.
There was a man standing under the green vine corridor, Xia Yuebai recognized that figure from the back, it was Hawktimus.
Hawktimus, who was wearing a general's short robe, was obviously dissatisfied with this answer. He said, "I have been here four times, and every time you said that His Highness is busy, when will I see His Highness?"
The maid nodded timidly, her smile froze slightly. "General, Your Highness has a lot of work to do. When His Highness is free, he will naturally summon the General. General, please go back first."
Xia Yuebai slowed down her pace, weighed the slightly heavy scroll in her arms, and stared at the tall figure shrouded in thick shadows, her eyes flashed secretly.
Hawktimus looked up at the two closed doors a few steps away, pondered for a while, sighed heavily, turned and left with his brows tightly furrowed.He walked a few steps with his head down, then raised his head suddenly, seeing Xia Yuebai walking towards him, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded politely.
Xia Yuebai smiled and nodded, the two passed by without saying a word.
Seeing Xia Yuebai, the maid bowed and said, "Miss Xia."
"Since Arnis is busy, please return these scrolls to him. I'll come to him when he's not busy." Handing the scrolls to the maid, Xia Yuebai was about to leave, but was stopped by the maid.
"Miss Xia, Your Highness has told you that if you come, please come in." The maid held the scroll, took a step back to make way, and bowed in a respectful manner.
"But didn't you just say..." He hesitated a little, looked back at the direction where Hawktimus disappeared, and touched his nose inexplicably.
"Miss Xia, please." The maid still smiled as before, bent over meekly, not caring about Xia Yuebai's doubts.
Withdrawing his gaze, he nodded to the maid, and walked into the apse with the gentle breeze, holding up his skirt.
Doubts, guesses, and a little smattering of knowledge, Arnis doesn't want to see Hawktimus, it's obvious.As for,
But what Arnis didn't expect was that it was Tusahita who came to pick him up.
The last time we met was two years ago, when Tusahita went to the Delta for inspection and visited him when passing through Memphis. She only stayed for three short days before leaving in a hurry.
Looking at his younger sister, the queen who holds the lifeblood of Egypt, her unruly and steady aura has not diminished but increased, and the plundering arrogance that can be retracted freely is even more ostentatious than two years ago.
"When are you going to tell me that you have become so sick?" The moderate voice was full of sullen tone, and what was more gloomy than her dark voice were her eyes, which were shrouded in coldness His brown eyes were filled with a kind of helpless and anxious gaze.
He smiled indifferently. "It's not as serious as Wang said."
"You think I'm blind, can't you see how bad you look like?"
"I dare not treat the king as blind."
"The people around you should be executed, but they actually helped you to deceive me." He said expressionlessly, and suddenly clenched the armrest of the rattan chair, with blue veins in his knuckles, and a trace of violent murderous intent leaked from his fingers.
"My lord, why take your anger out on them, blame me if you want, it has nothing to do with them." Softly comforting, her pale face flushed slightly, and she frowned.
She turned her face away and said nothing.
Sighing, Alnis leaned on the soft cushion, a few strands of hair fell off his shoulders and hung weakly on his chest, fingering the ends of the hair once and for all, and said, "My lord, what are you going to do with her?"
"Can you find a way to send her back?" Responding to the question, she looked at him again.
His eyes flickered, he pondered for a moment, then shook his head slowly. "cannot."
Frowning, he asked. "No way at all?"
Shaking his head firmly, he opened his mouth helplessly. "The gate of time and space is in the hands of God. Even if I have the ability to see into the future, I don't have the divine power to open that gate. In this world, it is impossible for mortals to possess such great power."
Eyes closed, silence.
"Wang, I have carefully tried several times, no matter what method I use, I can't see her future. If I can't see her future, it means that she has... no future in our world." There is a future, but he can't see Xia Yuebai's future, no matter what the reason is, this is quite worrying.
"There is no future..." She repeated it, her expression lightened, and a dark light flashed across her eyes, too fast.
Arnis quietly observed her expression. This handsome and deep outline was dyed with golden sunshine, warm color, and faintly exuded a silent and gloomy light, which inexplicably made people's hearts tugged. "Wang, what are you worried about?"
"Yuebai will be very disappointed to hear that you can't help her go home." In a low voice, the tone was vague.
Inexplicably, Arnis frowned, looking at the figure in white at the table.Suddenly, he felt a trance and uneasiness.
"I'll go and see Unas, you rest first, and leave tomorrow." She stood up and cast a smiling indifferent look at Alnis.
"Okay." Nodding slightly, watching Tusasita turn and leave, following her slender back and disappearing by the door, Arnis leaned back on the couch wearily, and sighed deeply again.
Although he couldn't see Xia Yuebai's future, he could clearly see the Egyptian queen's future - death.
As time goes by, it gets closer and closer.
How to let him open his mouth and tell her everything about her fate in the world soon... He couldn't say it, he really couldn't say it.
Four years ago, when he saw her future for the first time, he concealed everything and stubbornly left Thebes in order to study how to help her turn things around in a place far away from Tusasita.
He tried his best to change the future of Tusashita, and tried to change her life with his own innate ability.In the end, the result was that she was accompanied by her own body, and she still couldn't change the trajectory of her life that was heading towards death.
Not only that, as her body deteriorated day by day, Xia Yuebai's traces were even leaked, completely exposing her to that person, and she was brought to ancient Egypt by an unknown force.
This mysterious power from nowhere is full of irresistible energy, and this power is an ability that I cannot match.The only thing Arnis can be sure of is that this aura of both demon and god is approaching Egypt, and it will appear in front of him in the near future.
★★★★★★★★★
After four years of separation from Thebes, this majestic royal city is still so shocking. The air is full of rich spices, filled with exquisite and luxurious atmosphere, and the sun that scorches the earth is scorching hot. A sprawling city was plated with a dazzling gold.
The arrival of Alnis has injected an extremely joyful atmosphere into Thebes. This high priest, who is deeply loved by the people, returned to Thebes on the occasion of the New Year, which really surprised and ecstatic everyone.
Not afraid of the hot summer heat, people formed a spontaneous welcome team from the city gate all the way to the palace square. They chanted the slogans of "Great Pharaoh" and "High Priest", and bowed devoutly on both sides of the road, with faces full of respect. Looking reverently at the mighty chariots and horses passing by.
★★★★★★★★★
Standing anxiously outside the door, Xia Yuebai looked at the two hollowed-out wooden doors that were half-covered. Dim light and shadows leaked out from the gaps in the hollow carvings. Shaking figures could be vaguely discerned, accompanied by subtle noises from the door. came out.
The maid pushed open the door from the inside, bowed towards Xia Yuebai, and said softly: "Miss Xia, the king invites you in."
Smiling and nodding, he walked into the room.
He was led by a maid to a small indoor garden, and after two turns in the winding corridor, he finally entered the inner court located deep in the palace.
Signaling Xia Yuebai to enter the room, the maid quietly stepped aside.
I straightened my skirt and stepped into the room carefully. The faint fragrance penetrated into my breath along with the breeze. Unlike the strong fragrance used in other palaces, the fragrance of this room is very light and feels very comfortable.
Looking up, Xia Yuebai was taken aback by the familiar figure by the window, and quietly moved away from his flickering gaze, hastily and hastily.
Tusasita was sitting by the window, with slightly curved brown eyes, she had a panoramic view of Xia Yuebai's clumsy averting her eyes, and she raised the corners of her mouth, a pleasant smile blurred out of her golden pupils, soundlessly. "Yuebai, come and meet my brother, the great high priest of Egypt."
Following the direction of her slightly raised chin, Xia Yuebai looked forward, and there was a young man sitting on a huge golden soft couch.
The somewhat pale side face was half-hidden by the long hair, and the golden red light of the setting sun outlined a delicate outline, leaning against the rattan couch, carelessly exuding a layer of extremely lazy beauty...
I never thought that I would use "beautiful" to describe a man. This man who is so beautiful that he can't even confuse his gender is his hope to leave this world.
However, Xia Yuebai's heart felt slightly chilled, just like Arnis's eyes fell on her face.
"What a rare beauty." Youyou said, Arnis waved to her with a smile, and said softly, "Come, sit beside me."
"Yes." Slightly stunned, he glanced at the person by the window, walked to the couch and sat down.
Looking at the young girl sitting beside him, he spoke with a smile. "My lord, why didn't you tell me that our distinguished guest from Egypt is so beautiful?"
Tusasita raised his eyebrows at him, his ambiguous smile was scattered in the delicate breeze by the window, a gleam of brightness flashed across his brown eyes, and he remained silent.
"Your name is Xia Yuebai?" He asked sideways.
"Yes, you can call me Moon White." So close, she could see the hidden blood vessels under Arnis's pale skin. The man's complexion was sickly fair, completely different from Tusasita's healthy wheat color .
"Yuebai, my name is Alnis, you must have heard others mention me, right?"
"Yes."
"Yuebai, I know everything about you. I can't help you return to your world, I'm sorry." He told the truth straightforwardly, he didn't want to go around in circles, after all, his abilities were limited.
"..." Suddenly, disappointment hit her head.
Although he had already prepared in his heart, when he heard him say this straight to the point.For a moment, she still wanted to cry.
He lowered his head to hide the tears in his eyes.
A sigh came from the window.
"Wang, can you let Yuebai and I be alone for a while."
Nodding, her eyes fell on the slender silhouette curled up in a ball by the couch, Tusasita moved her lips, and her eyes touched Arnis's blocking eyes, her jaw tightened, and she stood up silently, her gloomy gaze was on Xia Yue's face. Bai stayed on Bai's body for a moment, then quietly stepped out of the room.
"Yuebai, don't be sad, although I can't help you. But I will continue to think of a way, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will do my best." Comforting softly, I couldn't bear to see the helpless and helpless look on this young girl's face.
He raised his head, sucked his nose, and choked up a little. "Thank you."
"I want to ask you a few questions to help me learn more about the situation."
He smiled feebly, nodded and said, "Just ask."
Smiling softly, Alnis paused for a while, and then asked out the doubts in his heart. The sun slid into the window sill from the courtyard, and a colorful halo flowed quietly in the slightly drunken fragrance. people's words.
★★★★★★★★★
For several days in a row, Xia Yuebai did not go to Nanyuan, she stayed in her room, sat by the window without saying a word, looking at the lush green shade, quietly dazed and lost in thought.
Petunia was secretly anxious, seeing Xia Yuebai getting more and more depressed day by day, that beautiful face that had lost her smile was densely shrouded in a terrible gray despair, as if a dense fog that could not be dispelled had completely wiped her out. Trapped, blocking all information between her and the outside world.
Sometimes, you talk to her and she just sits quietly, you don't even feel her presence, and this kind of self-isolation goes on and on, and it's so severe that it's scary.
Petunia stood by her side every step of the way, anxious and helpless, for the silent Xia Yuebai, Petunia didn't know how to comfort her.
Unas has been here a few times and saw Xia Yuebai with a strong smile. He raised his gentle and handsome smile and said words of comfort. Those weak words were as unconvincing as his smile.
Arnis called Xia Yuebai once, and when she came back from him, apart from a dejected look, there was only a pair of indifferent, empty eyes... Her silence, her depression, became even more bottomless , almost devouring all of her sporadic remnants of breath.
"King." Seeing the person walking in, Petunia quickly knelt down and saluted respectfully.
The eyes that have been staring at Xia Yuebai since entering the room have not moved away, the person by the window has not moved, the evening wind is entangled in her dark hair like night, if it is not for the soft hair tip shaking lightly in the wind, You'd almost think it was a statue frozen in moonlight.
"Moon White."
There was silence, so quiet that Tusasita frowned unconsciously.
"Yuebai..." He spoke again, with a slightly louder voice.
For a moment, the figure by the window moved, turned his head dullly, and cast a blank gaze at her with black eyes.
For a moment, there was a faint pain in my heart. "Come with me."
"Where are you going?" His voice was dry.
"Leaving the palace." Leaving one sentence behind, she turned around and left.
Sighing helplessly, Xia Yuebai had no choice but to pull himself together as he watched Tusasita's stubborn back when he left. He took the cloak that Petunia handed him, and walked weakly into the dimly lit corridor.
★★★★★★★★★
The horse galloped, leaving Thebes far behind the billowing smoke and dust, and heard the sound of the thick waves of the Nile River, thinking that it would stop by the river, but Tusasita did not rein in the horse, and the horse team galloped along the river beach After a few minutes, a large wooden boat suddenly appeared in Xia Yuebai's slightly startled eyes.
There was no pause, Tusasita let out a low snort, the horse stepped on the pedals to the wide deck, and the iron hooves stepped on the solid wooden boards, making a dull and regular rhythm, just like the deafening muffled thunder, accompanied by the rolling of the river. The blackness of the night was stirring.
Sitting quietly in front of Tusa Sita, following the undulating hull, Xia Yuebai's body was slightly undulating, but Xia Yuebai's mood was calm and stable. Her black hair was wrapped around her eyes and her eyes were confused by the roaring river wind. The scenery is not very clear, only a stretching black shadow can be discerned in a hurry.
I don't know where they are going, and I don't want to ask.
The indifferent black eyes blended into the color of the sky, making them look dull and dull.
The boat sailed across the river, the guards set up the steps, and Tusasita dismounted from the boat, and they never left the horse from the beginning to the end.
There were no torches on the other side of the river, the only light was the huge moon overhead.After continuing for more than ten minutes, Xia Yuebai could feel the ground change, and the sound of the horse's hooves became smaller and smaller. Looking at the plains that couldn't be seen all around by the moonlight, he realized that they had crossed the river and came to the west bank of Thebes. ...
Thebes is a huge city straddling the banks of the Nile River. The east bank is the political center, and the city revolves around the palace, where trade and daily life are carried out; while the west bank is the religious center, where a large number of temples gather. The valley is here.
The wind blowing on the face has lost the rich smell of spices that filled the streets and alleys of ancient Egypt, and a strange smell is vaguely mixed in the raised dust, like the smell of fresh soil, or like dust being blown into the earth. Choking in the air.
Xia Yuebai couldn't help coughing a few times, her back bumped into the person behind her, rubbing against a faint warmth, mixed with the coolness of the evening wind.
Covering his mouth and nose, his eyes swept across the dark front, and vaguely saw a building lying on the edge of the desert plain, swaying silver light in the moonlight.
When they got close to the building, Xia Yuebai finally saw its true face - tall and neat columns, wide and exquisite door eaves, straight and flat stairs, it looked like a palace, but it was bigger than any other palace in the palace. They all look streamlined and solemn, this place should be a temple.
Tusa Sita tightened the reins, and the horse neighed and stopped.
Turning over and dismounting, Tusaxita glanced at the guards behind him, motioned for them to wait outside, helped Xia Yuebai off the horse, and the two of them stepped up the stone ladder one after the other.
Walking into the temple, the inside is very quiet, like a bottomless abyss frozen in the night, silent, deep, and dark.
Every few stone pillars has a brass platform carved with exquisite patterns, and a huge brazier is placed on it. The golden flames protrude out of the mouth of the basin, swaying beautifully, and complement each other with the silver moonlight projected through the gate. A dreamy space where water and fire blend together.
I don't understand why Tusasita brought her here. This temple looks like it has been around for some years, and the color of some murals is slightly peeled off, revealing a mottled background.
"Where is this?" Following her, looking around, there are several huge statues standing not far away. In addition to the sun god worshiped by the ancient Egyptians, there are several other gods.
"Guna Temple."
"What are you doing here?"
He looked sideways, glanced at her, held the corner of his mouth, and spoke softly. "Take you out to relax."
Startled, there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, instantly.
Feeling something, Tusasita looked at her unexpectedly, with a casual arc on her lips that seemed to be a half-smile.
"...Thank you." The heart suddenly felt like it was tightly blocked by a mass of things, and it was so stuffy that it was hard to breathe...
Wan Er smiled, looked back at a semi-circular stone door, behind which a winding staircase was exposed, Tusasita stepped forward, pulled out a torch from the wall beside the door, and stepped on the stairs first.
Looking up and looking inside, the stone ladder slowly extended upwards in a spiral shape, but I couldn't see where the end point was.
Lifting the hem of the skirt lightly, he followed her up the stairs.
No one has been here for a long time, and the stairs are covered with dust. With the sweeping of the corners of the skirt, a layer of fine dust is lifted up, floating in the flickering light refracted by the torch.
Xia Yuebai didn't count exactly how many steps they climbed, but only knew that her legs were already starting to feel sore, and the whirlpool of stairs that made people dizzy still didn't come to an end.Looking up at Tusa Sita who was walking in front holding the torch, she didn't seem to feel tired at all, her steps were leisurely and light, her white back was covered with flickering bright flames, a shadow slipped along her robe and fell on her feet side.
Adjusting his breathing, he stretched out his hand to wipe off the fine sweat on his forehead. When he raised his head again, he found a ray of light falling on the steps ahead, and the cool air rushed in immediately, blowing away the stuffy heat in the narrow space.
Stepping on the last step, the field of vision suddenly widened, and the whole body was immersed in the silver like water and waves, and the night wind shook the long hair behind him, flying gracefully like waves...
As far as the eye can see, there is a vast world outlined by a single stroke of the moonlight night... The wide terrace blooms unobstructed under the deep black starry sky, with exquisite and elegant beauty, as delicate and quiet as the beginning of the world.
Very slowly, turning around in a circle, looking around the place where she was, Xia Yuebai stared at everything intently, with amazed and amazed eyes.
Suddenly, she felt the blood rushing violently in her body, and the numb soul she thought would never feel anything, quietly tasted another strange emotion that was both joy and surprise...
Chapter 21
Quietly, the moonlight flows silently.
Quietly staring at the surrounding scenery, afraid that the trembling breathing on his lips would be too hard, waking up the ethereal and dreamlike beauty in front of him.
Taking steps carefully, step by step, his own shadow is hidden by the rippling skirt, like a timid child who suddenly breaks into a wonderful world, tightly sticking to Xia Yuebai's equally hesitant feet.
Tusasita threw the torch into the brazier, and a roll of flames stretched out, and as the wood cracked crisply in the fire, the night wind shook the golden flame.
Looking back, she glanced at the person walking behind, Xia Yuebai's undisguised astonished expression reflected the red firelight, adding a layer of crystal clear honey color that made people want to touch it lightly.
Withdrawing his gaze, he smiled faintly, the hair flying in the wind blocked the fleeting tenderness in Tusasita's eyes.
"How did you find this place? It's so...beautiful!" Admired, from the heart.
Tusasita walked to the edge of the roof and stood still, overlooking the thick, ink-like night beneath his feet, scattered light scattered throughout, and the sound of rolling waves could be faintly heard. "I used to come here a lot when I was a kid."
"When I was a child? You were a princess, can you leave the palace casually?" When she came to her side, the overwhelming darkness occupied the vast space, and even more so occupied her stunning black eyes.
"I left the palace when I was seven years old and lived in Bahari's mansion."
Looking sideways, she looked at her through the beautiful night wind, without saying a word.
Sensing Xia Yuebai's gaze, Tusasita looked at her, her brown eyes were filled with the rich night color, and the sharp golden spots were dormant in her eyes, like a beast lurking in the depths of the night, silently holding her breath to look at everything.
Look away, in a hurry.Afraid that she would look at him with such eyes, her breathing became sluggish under her gaze. "I heard Arnis say that you moved to Bahari's house when you were very young, and you didn't move back to the palace until you...you inherited the throne."
Laughing, looking forward again. "What did he tell you?"
"Say very little, just a little."
"Did he tell you that I killed a lot of people, including my half-brothers?"
In fact, even if Alnis didn't say anything, Xia Yuebai already knew these things from historical materials.It's just that I don't believe those pale written records at all.
She was shaken by the queen who was with her day and night beside her.
"I forgot, you should have known these things a long time ago... I am in your world, it is already history."
Xia Yuebai wanted to justify something, her breathing became chaotic, her thoughts became even more chaotic, and she fell silent.
His eyes flickered, he looked up at the sky, and whispered. "Yuebai, since you can't return to your own world right now, you still have to continue your current life. As long as you live, you can't give up hope."
"Hope...it's too slim. Alnis said there's no other way. What hope can I have?" Disappointed, or desperate, she didn't know what else she could hope for.
Home, relatives, and the original life are all so far away, blocked by a strange time and space, where she can't touch at all.
Raising his hand, pointing to the sparse light in the distance, he said, "That's the bonfire on the wall of Thebes. They burn day and night and never go out."
Following her guidance, there are many bright spots in the distant place, like a fiery dragon with trembling golden scales, quietly lying on the edge of the desert stirred by the wind of the Lie Lie River, shining in the deep night sky, flickering abruptly in the dark world middle.
"If one day they go out, it will be the time when Thebes falls." With a soft and pleasant voice, Tusasita's smile was still indifferent and unable to discern any emotions when he said creepy words.
Surprised, instantly.After taking a look at Tusa Sita, Xia Yuebai felt a little cold in her palms.
"These bonfires, they are the hope of this city, the hope of everyone in this city. As long as people look up and see the bonfires burning on the tower, they can live in peace of mind, and their hope is still there."
The wind, under the rippling moonlight, rolls the fine sand and hovers around the feet. A burst of subtle movements comes from all directions, the quiet and beautiful but restless moon night.
"You have lost the hope of reuniting with your loved ones, but you have not lost the hope of living. There are still many things in life worth looking forward to. Yuebai, you are very smart, I think you will understand."
"Tusasita...thank you."
Smile, as gentle as the cold moonlight flowing in the dark night, soothing the heat of summer night meticulously and silently.Sitting down, Tusasita silently looked at the distant night scene without speaking.
Sitting next to her on the edge of the terrace, with his legs hanging out of the eaves, he glanced down, at least seven or eight floors high, so dark that he couldn't see the ground clearly.
"The little rhyme that Arnis said was the song your mother hummed when she put you to sleep. I really want to thank this lullaby. If I didn't have it, I would have been killed by you." Looking sideways at Tusa Sita, the silver moonlight licked a beautiful side face, the elegant lines outlined the beauty of firmness and flexibility, and there was a faint arrogance in the delicate and silent breath.
Turning her face to look at Xia Yuebai, she raised her eyebrows slightly. "Are you trying to accuse me of killing innocent people in a different way?"
"I dare not accuse the Queen of Egypt, it's just a matter of fact."
"If I really wanted to kill you, the arrow wouldn't have shot in your leg."
"Yes, Wang's archery is superb, I have personally learned it." Rolling his eyes, his teeth itch with hatred.Tusasita's undisguised arrogance always makes people inexplicably manic.
He smiled without saying a word, and looked back to the front with a quiet expression.
Looking at her through the night wind flying past her face, her eyes followed the breeze gently around the silent person beside her, Xia Yuebai's eyes were slightly confused in the night, for some reason. "Just one sentence?"
"What?" She threw a question without thinking, which made Tusasita frowned in confusion.
"That little ballad, are there any other sentences?"
"Yes, you want to hear it?"
"Yeah." Nodding seriously, with a sincere expression.
"On the Nile River, there is snow-white moonlight floating, like your wings, embracing me in your arms. In the Nile River, there are green waves cruising, like my tears, melting your heart. I embrace the moonlight, I embrace you Ride the waves of the river and fall asleep. My child, I will always be by your side."
Her voice was very soft, deep and gentle, revealing a strange power that charmed people's hearts, as if the temperature of a flame was rubbed out by the darkness of the night, silently scalding the whirling and dancing night wind.
Xia Yuebai listened quietly, not understanding that just a few simple words actually gave her the illusion of being addicted.The breath from the lips is very light, and the heartbeat is as light as feathers falling down.
However, it seemed that something suddenly became heavy, entangled her thoughts, and felt a sense of helplessness in the vastness of time and space falling in weightlessness... Her eyes flickered, and a faint moonlight gleamed in her eyes, shining softly With a silver haze.
"Your mother, loves you and Alnis very much."
Looking down, watching his fingertips flicking the ring back and forth, a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes, and his voice revealed a sluggish smile. "She is a docile and quiet woman. Like all mothers in the world, she loves her children very much, but she is powerless to protect them."
"Born in the royal family, no one can really protect anyone. Although the same blood flows, it is not uncommon for brothers to fight against each other for the sake of the supreme royal power." All living beings in ancient and modern China and abroad cannot escape the temptation of power. It is a dark corner of human nature that can never be illuminated.
Smiling, looking sideways, eyes flickering lightly, lips hooked with a touch of mischievousness in the moonlight night. "Little girl, do you know what power killing is? Look at what you said, as if you have experienced it yourself."
Xia Yuebai decided not to care about her arrogant and contemptuous tone. "I haven't experienced it, and I don't want to experience this kind of thing. It's much happier to be a common people than princes and nobles."
Smiled, half acquiescence, half helpless.
"Can you sing little ballads?" Asked curiously, Xia Yuebai twisted her hair between her fingers and flicked it back and forth.
In silence, Tusasita looked into the distance, as if he didn't hear the voice from beside him.
Tilting her head and looking at her with a smile, Xia Yuebai had already developed immunity to the queen's indifferent attitude, and Xia Yuebai spoke again in a self-contained manner. "Tusasita, sing it to me."
"Do you know what you asked for?" He looked sideways, his eyes indifferent.
"I know, let you sing a little ballad."
"Do you know who I am?"
"Pharaoh, Queen of Egypt." The answer was reasonable, with a silly serious smile on his face.
Turning his eyes away, his eyes were filled with the dense night, and some other things were faintly flickering on and off. "Do you think I can sing to please you?"
"To please? I just want to listen to a song. Once you say such a simple thing, it will turn sour. Forget about not singing. Go back and ask Alnis to sing it to me. He will definitely be willing." Frowning, really Unable to understand Tusasita's thinking, let her sing a lullaby. How can she describe it so seriously... Pleasant, thanks to her thinking.
"Have you been so lawless since you were a child?" With one hand propped on the ground and the other on his bent knee, he tapped his fingertips in a careless rhythm to the whistling evening wind.
"If asking others to sing a song is considered lawless, then I have been like this since I was a child." Xia Yuebai raised her chin confidently, and Xia Yuebai spoke plausibly.
A low laugh slipped out, and with the bright moonlight flickering between her brows, the brown eyes revealed traces of helpless pampering. "Exchange one condition with me, and I'll sing."
"What conditions?"
"Tomorrow, come to Nanyuan to copy documents."
I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't expect Tusasita's condition to be this.Suddenly, there was a ripple in the bottom of my heart, like a pool of water rippling without wind, disturbing the quiet mood. The heart became very strange amidst such turbulent fluctuations... some unspeakable joy, some Panic that can't be explained, and a mess of depression that can't be figured out.
His eyebrows drooped slightly, and after a while, he raised his face to look at her.The smile is as delicate as the moonlight, brilliant and bright. "good."
A trace of strangeness flashed across the dark brown pupils, and a dazzling light burst out from the pale golden pupils.The gaze lingering on Xia Yue's white face was quietly withdrawn by Tusasita, and the waves roiling silently in his eyes could not be calmed down for a while.
A long sigh came from the moment when Tusasi Tower looked at Thebes again.
The moment this little life-saving rhyme overflowed from her mouth, Xia Yuebai forgot to move away the astonishing eyes glued to her face, and was completely stunned by this exotic and simple tune.
The deep and melodious voice faded away from the usual indifferent and arrogant tone; the gentle and delicate expression concealed the stern majesty of the king on weekdays.
At this moment, Tusasita is more like a traveler who has traveled all over the world, suave and leisurely, gentle and affectionate, exuding a free and easy beauty that is both evil and devil.
How many people can see such an Egyptian queen with their own eyes...
The heart was slowly sinking, and as the night wind infiltrated the beauty of Tusa Sita's singing, Xia Yuebai finally stopped clinging to the bitter feeling of homesickness, she tried to let go of her hand slowly... the last trace of her heart could not return The sadness of the homeland is like the thick fog that lingers on the lake in the morning, gradually dissipating in the thousands of rays of morning light.
Yes, Tusahita is right, hope... is always there, as long as you don't give up.
The queen's comforting words made people feel warm and comfortable. Although they were just a few plain words, they gave Xia Yuebai, who was sinking day by day, another reason to continue to be strong.
Concentrating on the young woman singing melodiously beside her, she was intoxicated by the word-for-word words pouring into her eardrums, Xia Yuebai raised the corners of her mouth, smiling calmly and happily...
★★★★★★★★★
Holding a few scrolls, she walked into the back garden of Arnis' bedroom. These scrolls were lent to her by Arnis, and the stories recorded in them were all related to the Egyptian gods. After reading these parchments, Xia Yuebai realized that she was very The understanding of the ancient Egyptian gods is so poor.
I plan to return these scrolls to him, and by the way, ask for some parts that I don't understand.
"General, Your Highness is busy at the moment and cannot see you. Please go back." The maid bowed and said softly.
There was a man standing under the green vine corridor, Xia Yuebai recognized that figure from the back, it was Hawktimus.
Hawktimus, who was wearing a general's short robe, was obviously dissatisfied with this answer. He said, "I have been here four times, and every time you said that His Highness is busy, when will I see His Highness?"
The maid nodded timidly, her smile froze slightly. "General, Your Highness has a lot of work to do. When His Highness is free, he will naturally summon the General. General, please go back first."
Xia Yuebai slowed down her pace, weighed the slightly heavy scroll in her arms, and stared at the tall figure shrouded in thick shadows, her eyes flashed secretly.
Hawktimus looked up at the two closed doors a few steps away, pondered for a while, sighed heavily, turned and left with his brows tightly furrowed.He walked a few steps with his head down, then raised his head suddenly, seeing Xia Yuebai walking towards him, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded politely.
Xia Yuebai smiled and nodded, the two passed by without saying a word.
Seeing Xia Yuebai, the maid bowed and said, "Miss Xia."
"Since Arnis is busy, please return these scrolls to him. I'll come to him when he's not busy." Handing the scrolls to the maid, Xia Yuebai was about to leave, but was stopped by the maid.
"Miss Xia, Your Highness has told you that if you come, please come in." The maid held the scroll, took a step back to make way, and bowed in a respectful manner.
"But didn't you just say..." He hesitated a little, looked back at the direction where Hawktimus disappeared, and touched his nose inexplicably.
"Miss Xia, please." The maid still smiled as before, bent over meekly, not caring about Xia Yuebai's doubts.
Withdrawing his gaze, he nodded to the maid, and walked into the apse with the gentle breeze, holding up his skirt.
