Moon Wake Heyang

Above the pool, water droplets kept gathering, and something vaguely appeared.

Sand grains and water droplets, suspended in mid-air, are gradually and slowly completing the final condensation.

Xia Yuebai didn't dare to breathe, or forgot to breathe, and stared at everything that happened on the altar with eyes full of surprise and horror.

Holding his breath, he waited for an even more astonishing scene.

When the sand pool and pool gradually calmed down, a golden sand snake and a transparent eagle appeared in everyone's eyes.

Arnis gently twisted the hand holding the staff. The moment the staff head turned, the Sand Snake twisted and spun out and rushed upwards, and the transparent eagle fluttered its wings at the same time not to be outdone. The strong wind driven by them spread, and the invisible air flow spread in all directions. The strong wind mixed with sand and dust made people blind, and they covered their faces with their hands.

Did I have hallucinations, otherwise how could I see snakes made of sand and eagles made of water flying in the air.Under the vast light, they compete with each other, rise and fall, and entangle each other to continuously climb the height.

"Have you found the answer?"

Suddenly, a voice passed by my ears, a narrow tone mixed with a smile and pride.

"Alnis...is amazing!" If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would believe it.

A vigorous smile gradually widened at the corners of his slightly raised lips, raising his eyebrows. "He deserves to be the high priest of Egypt."

Half a beat later, he nodded, his eyes followed the eagle and snake in the sky that appeared and disappeared in the clouds, and his brain was still in a vacuum state after the shock.

A few strands of black hair that hid the sun were wrapped around the arm in the wind, and the silent and entangled tenderness pulled back Tusasita's proud eyes betting on the sky, glanced down at the arm, and chuckled.

Xia Yuebai, who was concentrating on looking up at the sky, was not affected, and still had a look of shock on his face, watching the strange scene in the blue sky without blinking.

"Bring the arrow." He ordered, and turned his gaze to Arnis, meeting his gaze on himself, and the two smiled at each other.

"Yes."

"Yuebai, stand aside."

Confused, he stepped back a few steps obediently.

The guards stepped forward with bows and arrows in both hands, and knelt down respectfully.

Take the arrow, draw the bow, and the shining arrow points to the eagle snake hovering in the sky.

Xia Yuebai stared at Tusahita, who was full of bowstrings, and her breath stagnated very lightly. Behind her ribs, there was a feeling of suffocation after the chest was overly suppressed... For the Egyptian queen in front of her, she was so beautiful and real, but And it feels so far away.

The hunting river wind flew by the side of Tusasita's focused face, like an invisible hand passing through her long hair, a black wave fluttered unwillingly, soft and delicate reflecting the golden color of the sun.

Quietly, Xia Yuebai looked at her, unexpectedly ignoring the buzzing atmosphere outside the terrace due to Tusasita's actions...

The moment the first arrow left the string and rushed into the sky, the crowd cheered enthusiastically, causing Xia Yuebai to look sideways... I saw the eagle hovering over the Nile River the moment the arrow was shot, its huge body shattered into countless water Beads, the overturned water droplets are falling like rain, falling into the river with rolling white waves.

Immediately afterwards, the second arrow broke into sight and hit Sand Snake.The golden snake body flew away impressively, and the yellow sand all over the sky was swept away by a gust of wind, drifting towards the desert on the west bank of the Nile River.

The crowd shouted for joy again, and the fiery air was full of passionate emotions. For the new year, all prayers were granted by the gods.

The Nile River has ushered in a new period of flooding -- new hopes and new blessings will once again be injected into the new life of the Egyptians along with the turbulent waves.

Handing the bow and arrows to the guards, Tusahi Tower stood on the edge of the terrace, looking up at the sky.For a long time, I was silent.

Following her indifferent but serious line of sight, Xia Yuebai's gaze moved from the sky to the Nile River outside the city. The turbid river waves built up countless unstoppable long white embankments layer by layer, transforming the originally clear and quiet place like a woman dressing up in a mirror. The gentle Nile River turned into a fearless woman in armor galloping thousands of miles.

The changes in a blink of an eye, one still and one moving, one soft and one firm, different beauty, different courage, but they come from the same river.

"Moon White..."

"Huh?" At some point when Tusasita came to her side, her voice was hushed and disturbing, revealing a charming power.His black eyes flickered, looking at Alnis who left surrounded by monks in the square, but he didn't dare to look at the people around him for no reason.

"stay."

"What?" Surprised, she suddenly turned her head and looked up at her, thinking that her hearing was blurred by the sound of the rumbling river waves and she had an illusion.

"Stay in Egypt, stay by my side." She said, raising her finger to catch a strand of hair flying up from Xia Yue's white face, gently pulling it behind her ear, and slowly scraping it with her fingertips On her cheeks and ears, there was a gentle and serious look from the bottom of her brown eyes, and the moment Xia Yuebai looked at her with surprised and blank eyes, she smiled.

Smiling lightly, like a quiet night wind, gently lingering on Xia Yuebai's pale facial features.

He opened his mouth, his jaw trembling uncontrollably, but he didn't know what he was going to say, just after Tusasita bowed his face slightly towards her and said such a sentence.

"Don't rush to answer, we still have time." Smiling, she raised her face and looked back at the Nile River, which was swallowed by the turbulent yellow waves. It appears and disappears from time to time, strangely dazzling, strangely enchanting.

A huge wave on the river rushed in, the river wind swept the water vapor and filled the ambiguous space, the breath on the lips was a little wet, and something flowed into the body with the river wind, suppressing the heartbeat ... Panic, boundless attacks.

It seems that there are thousands of troops and no one can stop the huge waves on the Nile River.

What is she talking about?

Why do you say such outlandish things?

Staying by...her side...is that what I imagined it to mean?

Still, she was teasing herself again, just to make fun of her as usual, just to see the annoyed expression on her face from red to green, and then the queen would always smile leisurely with an arrogant smile on her face walk away.

What is this crazy woman thinking?

★★★★★★★★★

She made an excuse for having a headache, and excused not to attend the New Year celebration after the Nile River Festival. With her face as white as stencil, no one would suspect her.

In fact, Xia Yuebai did have a headache, and it was so painful that it was about to explode.

Tusasita agreed with her with a smile, with a nonchalant smile on her face, light and gentle eyes, terribly gentle.

Xia Yuebai hurriedly left the Dayang Temple under the gaze of the intense eyes hidden by the pair of brown eyes behind her.

She needs space and time alone, she needs to be alone.Then, think about it carefully, what kind of nerve did this mad queen make a mistake to tell such nonsense to herself.

"Stay by my side..." It's bullshit, utter bullshit.

Stay in Egypt, yes.Judging from the current situation, where can I go?She can only stay in Egypt until she finds a way to return home.

However, staying by her side... What does it mean to stay by her side?How to stay?

Between two women, it is worth talking about who stays by whose side... The thoughts are so chaotic that the brain has fallen into an unprecedented vacuum state, and the thinking ability stops at Tusa Sita's sentence "stay By my side" blurted out the moment.

It's Xia Yuebai's mood to fall to the ground.In a mess, it was her heartbeat.

Cleaning up the heartbeat beating like a war drum, taking deep breaths over and over again, trying to control the steps under his feet and leaving the Sun Palace without haste, but he couldn't sort out his messy mood.When the noisy and lively atmosphere of the Sun Palace had just disappeared behind her back, and the strong aroma of wine hadn't left her breath, Xia Yuebai already impatiently took big strides towards the Amon Palace.

Petunia quickened her pace to follow behind Xia Yuebai, looking suspiciously at Xia Yuebai who was walking in a hurry from time to time.

"Harmful spirit, it's fine if you die alone, and drag everyone to be buried with you, I'll beat you to death right now----"

"Stop!" Seeing a middle-aged man raised his fist in anger at the side door of the corridor, and the young girl kneeling in front of him shrunk her slender shoulders in horror. She did not avoid the man, and was ready to accept his fists and kicks. beaten.

The middle-aged man was stopped by the snort, and he raised his eyes angrily, when his vicious gaze swept across the figure in the corridor.Suddenly, the whole person suddenly changed his face, bent down with a slanderous smile and flattery, and his tone of speech was not as harsh and vicious as before. "Miss Xia, why don't you attend the New Year's ceremony in the Sun Palace?"

"Why did you beat her?" Walking to the girl, she motioned for Petunia to help the injured and crying girl.

This girl is very young, about fifteen or six years old. Judging by her attire, she should be a dancer at today's ceremony.

"Miss Xia, it's almost her turn to perform the dance, but this girl who wants to die has sprained her foot."

He squatted down and lifted the girl's skirt, and there was a red spot on the ankle, and the area around the ankle bone was also swollen. "Can you walk?"

The girl timidly shook her head, sweat mixed with tears flowed on her pale face, more than half of her makeup was gone.

Sigh, get up.The sprain is on the ankle, which is a big taboo for dancers. No matter how much you can tolerate the pain, the injured ankle cannot move flexibly, and it is simply impossible to finish a dance.

"The ankle is so swollen that I can't dance anymore. Let's find someone to replace her." Usually there are multiple substitutes in the dance troupe, in case the main dancer has an accident, so that they can replace the performance.

The middle-aged man had a white, fat and beardless face, and he seemed to be about to cry seeing his distress. "Miss Xia, you don't know. This girl dances a solo dance. In order to let her dance to the king at today's New Year ceremony, the music and dance department began to train her half a year ago. The only slave who was trained with her is her." The most outstanding, although others can complete a dance, they are not as good as her."

Frowning, asked. "Isn't that okay? As long as it's about the same, it's just a dance."

"Miss Xia, this, this, this must not be perfunctory. This is a New Year's ceremony, a different banquet from the past. Not only the king is in the Sun Palace, but also the ministers and foreign envoys. If a dance goes wrong, they will laugh at the Egyptian company. Not even a good dancer, this will shame the king and Egypt in front of those envoys. This is a death penalty, the villain, the villain can't bear it!"

"Isn't it okay to remove this dance?" If there is no substitute, then don't perform. Anyway, this ancient Egyptian New Year's performance is nothing more than an entertainment program of dance and acrobatics.Who cares if there is one less dance.

His big head was shaking back and forth like a wavy drum. Sweat was dripping down his chin continuously from his pale fat face. "It's too late. Originally, it was her turn. I didn't expect to slip here. This girl wants to die and doesn't choose a good day!"

"Hanu, why are you still dawdling here? If you don't hurry in, it will be her turn soon!" A servant came running from a distance, and he urged with a frown while wiping his sweat.

Hanu saluted the attendant and pointed at the dancer beside Petunia. He didn't know whether he was angry or anxious, his fingers were trembling. "This useless thing hurt my feet, and I can't... I can't jump anymore."

"What?!" Panicked, the servant's expression changed.

"grown ups----"

The waiter raised his fingertips from Hanu's face to the dancer's body, and cursed angrily: "I think you will live to the end today, the tune is already playing, and if you can't dance, you still have to dance. Even if you die, you will die." I want to finish this dance and go to the underworld."

Hanu kept nodding and bowing, the dancer leaned against Petunia with a gray face, weeping softly.

"I'll dance." Xia Yuebai said angrily and decisively, taking off the necklace and pectoral and stuffing them into Petunia's hands.

"Miss, you--"

"Miss Xia!"

The startled eyes flashed in the eyes of several people who suddenly widened.

"Stop dawdling, let's change clothes, hurry up!" Pulling the injured dancer, he looked around, trying to find a hidden place to change clothes.

"Miss Xia, this, this, this----" Hanu stammered, his fleshy cheeks were trembling, and his voice was more panicked than the anxiety just now.

His brows were furrowed, he was really annoyed by this fat man, what happened to his beating aura just now, now he has become so indecisive. "What, the music has started, didn't you hear it? You keep talking nonsense, you really can't escape this disaster."

"But you didn't dance the dance! You, can you dance? You--"

"I learned modern dance for several years when I was young, don't worry, I should be able to fool the past."

"What kind of dance--fooling?!" Too much fear, his mouth was opened wide in fright, his hands in mid-air were trembling, he seemed to have seen the god Anubis, the leader of the undead, heading towards him Come here, ready to drag your unlucky self into Hades.

"Penny, come and help me." Melodious music came from the towering gate of the Sun Palace, vaguely. "Forget it, it's too late, just wear this dance."

Yu Luo, turned around and pulled up the hem of the skirt, and ran towards the palace that he fled in a hurry.

I really didn't expect that I would encounter such unlucky things. What kind of auspicious day is today, and she encountered unimaginable things one after another.

She hasn't danced for almost four years, not to mention her skillful skills, and she has never heard of that dance music at all, so she can only compose and dance now. Fortunately, she has also attended several dinner parties and seen the dance of maikos She should be able to handle the movements and steps based on the foundation of learning dance at a young age.

"Miss, don't take it off, this is the outer skirt!" Petunia trotted behind Xia Yuebai, stretched out her hand to catch a long skirt flying towards her, and shouted out of breath.

"The skirt is too long, it's in the way. Petunia, give me your square scarf." The music in the ear gradually became clearer with the steps, she turned her head and stretched out her hand.

"Here you are." He took out a square scarf from his arms and handed it to her.

Running in small steps, he put the square cloth over his face and tied it tightly behind his head.

At the end of the corridor, Hanu and the attendant stood blankly. The moment they looked at each other, they sighed heavily at the same time...

God Amon, Goddess Isis, God Osiris, God Anubis, all the gods, who will save him when he is about to die, Hanu prayed secretly in his heart.

Run into the hall, stick to the wall and walk to the side of the hall. In the center of the hall is a circular stage with blue-gray stone seats. For a country that is never stingy with gold, the entire stage is decorated with gold leaf, as if it is a place shining with gold under the scorching sun. Golden lake.

Amid the simple and beautiful music, people cast their searching eyes on the empty stage one after another, reminding Xia Yuebai not to delay any longer.

Take a deep breath, and let out all the tension and anxiety along with the breath from your lips, very slowly.

Taking a step, bypassing the low tables distributed around the stage, the skirt brushes past the edge of the table, attracting the eyes of the guests.

Tusasita was drinking, frowning slightly, occasionally looking up, frowning slightly at the empty stage.

The maids next to her knelt down in fear and fear, with their foreheads touching the ground.

Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a figure stepping onto the stage.

The gloomy brows did not loosen, she looked at the stage calmly, the wine glass in her hand shook gently, and the blood-red liquid swayed in the golden cup, stirring up unpredictable fire ripples.

Just like, the white figure flying in the center of the golden stage, the same gold, supporting different ripples... pure white, pure without any impurities, people can't help but feel sorry for this colorful and gorgeous palace, in the Against the light white background, it actually looks a bit eclipsed.

The white lotus on the banks of the Nile bloomed at her feet step by step, and the waves that bloomed on the skirt rose and fell, accompanied by a melodious tune, supporting the graceful figure on the golden stage.

The moment you thought she was about to fall off the edge of the stage, she slid into the center of the stage like a snake with a neat sideways turn.

Squatting down, turning back, standing up, spinning, jumping... A series of dizzying movements are done in one go.

Obviously, this is the first time people have seen this kind of dance. These unfamiliar movements combined with familiar beats have aroused their great interest. Following the rhythm of the white figure on the stage, people's sights became more and more intense.

Putting down the cup, leaning her elbows on the golden armrest, Tusasita leaned forward slightly, just at the moment when her eyes were brightened by the dancing figures in the center of the stage.

The maid knelt on one side to fill up the half-empty cup, and peeked up at the young queen who was close at hand.

This cold and unpredictable but extremely evil and handsome queen is only within reach from her, so close that you can see her pupil membranes are covered with rich and dazzling gold due to some kind of strange halo, Bright and fiery.

Following Tussita's gaze, the maid looked towards the stage.A woman in white was dancing on the stage, her figure was as light as gauze, but her face was covered with a veil, so her appearance could not be seen clearly.Suddenly, a tinge of jealousy rose in my heart... an ordinary maiko, nothing special.

Stretching out his hand, he held the cup and sent it to Tusasita with winking eyes.

Holding the wine glass and touching the maid's hand with her fingers, Tusasita looked down at her and smiled inadvertently.

Startled suddenly, intoxicated by that casual smile, the glamorous maid boldly responded with a coquettish smile, slowly pulled her hand away reluctantly, nodded and stepped aside.

Holding the rim of the glass, he slowly brought the wine glass to his lips, a playful light flashed in his long and narrow eyes, and pieces of thick gold settled in the depths of his pupils... There was a warmth in his eyes, spreading in the shadow of the raging wine, being caught She carefully hid the moment with a light expression.

Sighing softly, Tusahita smiled.

The author has something to say: This is a confession. . . .

Chapter 26

The music was ups and downs, and the dance steps were ups and downs. After a continuous rotation, the veil unexpectedly slipped off from his face, revealing Xia Yuebai's frightened face for a moment.He stretched out his hand nervously to grab the veil, but it brushed past his fingertips, like an uncatchable butterfly, easily escaping.

Raising his eyes suddenly, his anxious eyes met his smiling eyes, and they were entangled for a short time.

Suddenly, the heartbeat missed a beat, but I don't know whose heartbeat sounded.

Quickly looking away, Xia Yuebai put away his increasingly chaotic mood and focused on the music.

Sitting quietly on the throne, Tusasita smiled lightly, revealing a hint of undisguised amazement.

Slowly leaning back in the chair, the maid behind the throne immediately stretched out her hand to straighten her long hair on her shoulders. Tusasita squinted her eyes and continued to drink without saying a word.

The maid used her hand as a comb, and carefully combed the cold hair that was like satin in her hand. Her fascinated gaze was lingering on the handsome side face that was close at hand.

Suddenly, she found that the young queen's eyes were different from before. The bottom of the dark brown eyes was shining with a strange golden mosaic. The previous indifference and indifference were gone, and a ray of interest and enthusiasm wrapped around her eyes.

Such Tusa Sita is rare.

At the end of the song, the lingering sound is still lingering in my ears.The figures on the stage had already retreated to the edge of the stage, and a breeze slid across their skirts, reflecting Xia Yuebai's hastily leaving footsteps.

"Moon White."

Suddenly startled, a familiar voice came from the high throne, calling to stop Xia Yuebai's running steps.

Standing on the steps beside the stage, he turned around slowly, nodded to the figure on the high platform, and remained silent.

"Does your head still hurt?"

Where did the real maiko go?Why are you here?Why can she dance... She didn't mention a word about these things that she should obviously ask, but only cared about whether she had a headache.

It hurts, of course it hurts.

Ruo Ruo said that he left here just now with the excuse of having a headache.Well, looking at Tusa Sita's smile that understands everything in his heart, Xia Yuebai really started to have a headache.

Bite the bullet and answer. "It's better."

"You dance very well."

"Thank you, King, for your compliment."

"I didn't know you could dance before."

"Because the king didn't ask."

"It seems that I will have to ask more questions in the future."

"..." This kind of innocuous and boring conversation is really exhausting.At this moment, Xia Yuebai just wanted to leave here quickly, hide in her room, and sleep on the bed with her head covered.However, because of today's special occasion, the people sitting here are either high-ranking Egyptian officials or envoys from various countries, so she couldn't just walk away regardless of etiquette.

Lifting his face, he looked directly at Tusahita who was dressed in fine clothes on the throne, sighed softly, and said, "My lord, I'm still feeling a little uncomfortable, so I'm going back first."

There was no agreement, no objection, just keeping their eyes facing each other in silence.

The air in the hall fell into a sultry summer stagnation, and people's eyes wandered on them, hiding all kinds of exploration and curiosity.

"Go and have a good rest." After a long while, a sentence broke the slightly stiff atmosphere due to her silence, and Tusasita put down her wine glass and smiled leisurely.

Nodding his head, he lifted his skirt and hurriedly stepped out of the Sun Palace, ignoring the whispering voices behind him.

★★★★★★★★★

Pushing open the courtyard door, Xia Yuebai walked into the small courtyard behind the Eshke Palace, which was the first place she lived in when she first arrived in ancient Egypt.

Judging from the situation in the small courtyard, no one has come to clean it since she left.The scorching sun in summer gave the weeds a chance to thrive, and the originally clearly visible path was now covered by thick grass.

Stepping on the grass that reaches the calf, I walked into the courtyard.

The tip of the grass brushed against the edge of the skirt, and there were subtle movements, and the moonlight sprinkled on the quiet grass like water, staining the silver grass waves like snow and frost.

Stepping onto the porch, the door is closed.

Pushing open the door, a puff of dry dust rushed towards his face. He coughed twice. In the pitch-black hut, the only light source was the moonlight sliding from his side into the door, barely able to illuminate the place less than half a meter away.

After hesitating for a moment, he didn't go in. Instead, he walked to the window and reached out to open the two wooden windows.The temperature is not as hot as the daytime, but it is not cool. The quiet evening wind hovers around the feet, mixed with the ubiquitous fragrance of the Nile River, which effectively reduces the heat scattered in the air.

Leaning on the rough window frame to scan the yard, even with the beautiful moonlight swimming, it is still difficult to conceal the desolation and chaos in this small courtyard.

The sky was dark, always darkest just before dawn, nowhere more so than in this age without electricity and light bulbs.The little bug was still hiding in the grass and chirping tirelessly, Xia Yuebai stepped onto the low window sill and sat down.

Suddenly, I found that I didn't even have the strength to jump on the window sill. Not only was my walking a bit limp, but my body seemed to be empty, and all my senses were extremely exhausted.

Sitting on the window sill with her legs curled up, she looked towards the rolling towering palace hidden in the night.

At this time, the New Year's ceremony should not be over yet, and the carnival is still going on, as can be known from the strong and intoxicating aroma of wine floating in the air.Such a festive and lively day turned this huge palace into a veritable city that never sleeps.

Sigh, for no reason, feel very irritated.

Inadvertently, his eyes glanced at the vaguely outlined bushes diagonally, and suddenly his expression turned pale, and he asked in a low voice, "Who?"

In the bushes, there was a figure blended into the thick black shadow, standing against the tree, if you don't look carefully, you can hardly distinguish it.

"What are you doing here alone? It's too hot to sleep?" With a slightly smiling voice, he straightened up and left the bush, and the light-colored figure walked towards Xia Yuebai.

The pale moonlight gradually outlines her figure, accompanied by that too familiar voice, one can be sure who she is without seeing her face clearly.

Xia Yuebai's breathing tightened, and she was stunned for the moment.

After a while, she suddenly came back to her senses, and when the figure was less than five steps away from her, she raised her hands and shouted: "Don't come over!"

Pausing in his footsteps, Tusasita cut his hands behind his back, and looked at Xia Yuebai calmly at that distance that was neither far nor close.His gaze was like water, like a blue and surging tide under the sun, quietly surging.

"Why..." The eyebrows were raised slightly, and the corner of her lips raised a faint smile. "Afraid that I will eat you?"

The corners of her lips twitched, and she suddenly realized that this sentence was a bit ambiguous, and what they needed to avoid most was ambiguous things. "You can just talk there, the yard is cool, it's too hot for two people to squeeze in here."

"Okay." He laughed silently, stopped walking, and didn't ask whether the corridor was too small to accommodate two people.

In silence, two figures sat and stood, separated by five steps.

"Why did you come here alone?" He asked, the same question as before.

Looking at the sky, the stars are fading, but the moonlight is bright and dazzling. "Can't sleep."

He raised his eyebrows, seemingly satisfied with the answer. "Why can't you sleep?"

"Insomnia."

"Why insomnia?"

"Are you going to keep asking?" Does this person have to choose this time to break the casserole and ask the end?She clearly knew the cause of her insomnia, so why force her to say it herself.

He tilted his head slightly, with a serious expression on his face, but the chiseled face made it impossible to feel the slightest bit of seriousness. "I've always been obsessed with what I want to know."

A white eye flew out from the corner of the eye, and hit the smiling face in the moonlight.

"Why did you say those words?" No longer evading, he raised his head and met Tusa Sita's eyes. "Do you think this is fun?"

silence.For a moment, the line of sight shifted from Xia Yuebai's slightly stiff face to the dark cabin behind her shoulder. "I like you, so I want you to stay. I don't think saying this has anything to do with playing."

"Like?" Suddenly, there was a twitching pain in her temples, forcing her to frown uncomfortably, trying to speak calmly, trying to find a normal reason for Tusasita's crazy words. "If you mean liking, the friendship of friends, I--"

"Not friendship."

Losing his voice, he cleared his parched throat. "Your joke is boring."

"I don't think I'm joking."

The smile disappeared, and unconsciously... She looked at her and sighed softly: "Tusasita, we are all women."

Spreading his hands, as if he heard something simple but ridiculous, a beautiful shallow curve was drawn on the line of his lips. "Obviously."

"Then you still like me?"

"Is affection related to gender?"

"Of course there is, there must be, there must be." Xia Yuebai jumped off the window sill and said loudly towards Tusaxita who was only five steps away from her.

There were some slight sounds around, and she knew that it must be the sound made by the surrounding guards after hearing the movement.It was just that Tusasita raised his hand slightly, and those voices stopped. After he inadvertently raised his voice, everything became quieter than before.

"What about you, do you like me?" Standing where she was, Tusasita just stared at Xia Yuebai intently... Xia Yuebai's eyes, Xia Yuebai's tired and resistant expression made her a little unconfident.For a moment, he lowered his head and looked at his own shadow surrounded by moonlight. "Or, should I ask, do you hate me?"

The corners of the mouth were drawn, and the eyes were moved away. The breath was blocked in the dry throat, and he could not spit it out or swallow it.After a while, under Tusasita's silent gaze, she said, "I'm not interested in women, and I'm even less interested in women who are about to get married." Her mind was in chaos, and she didn't know what she was talking about.

"Who told you I was getting married soon?"

"Your engagement to the Prince of Babylon is well known."

"I don't even know if this engagement can continue. How can you be sure that I will get married?"

"Marriage is your bargaining chip in exchange for the army. You will not lose this bargaining chip that is beneficial to Egypt. All you care about is Egypt's victory."

"Yes, marriage is a bargaining chip. But now what if I care not only about Egypt's victory, but also about other things?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

"I don't understand, then I might as well be more direct. Yuebai, I like you, and I care about your feelings."

Her heart skipped a beat, even though she really didn't know if she was joking at this moment. "do not talk!"

"I like you, believe it or not."

"You..." subconsciously opened his mouth, pursed his lips for a moment, stared at the wayward woman in front of him without saying a word, and silently resisted the crazy voice that kept echoing into his head.

"You don't need to worry about the marriage contract, I will take care of it."

Before the words that were on the verge of breaking out had time to pour out completely, they were suddenly choked back into the throat.Momentary aphasia, I really want to see the expression on Tusasita's face when she said this sentence, but the expression was hidden because of the cloud covering the moonlight, and it was stubbornly blurred, just like her voice, also stubborn stubborn.

Her throat suddenly became stiff, and she coughed lightly: "Indeed, it's none of my business, I won't worry about it at all."

"Your complexion is not good, go back and rest." The faint voice was full of concern.

"I want to stay here alone for a while." She couldn't sleep at all, and she just went back to another place to sleep.

"Yeah." He said, but the figure didn't move.

Seeing her standing motionless and showing no intention of leaving, Xia Yuebai felt frustrated and asked feebly, "Aren't you leaving?"

Tusa Hisa lowered his head, looked at the ground, and remained silent for a while.

Looking up and sighing, Xia Yuebai really didn't know what to do in the face of such a childish girl. "The New Year's dinner is over?"

"No."

"Don't you need to accompany those distinguished guests?" She kindly reminded her that the host disappeared before the banquet was over, which is a bad way to entertain guests, not to mention that she is the king of a country.

"Bahari and the others will handle it."

"..." There was a moment of silence, speechless to respond.

"I'm leaving, you go back to Amon Palace to rest early." Suddenly, she spoke softly, and just as Xia Yuebai lowered her head in a daze, Tusasita turned and walked towards the courtyard gate.

When she reached the door, she stopped again, turned her head and looked at Xia Yuebai, staring at the somewhat pale face by the window against the background of a few strands of flying hair. "I won't go back tonight, you don't have to run so far to hide, go back and sleep peacefully."

Looking up suddenly, his face became a little ugly. "You and I……"

At this moment, Tusasita turned her eyes to the outside of the courtyard, and took a leisurely step, and a casual voice came from her slightly raised face. "As I said, we still have time."

Powerlessly, he leaned against the window frame, his heart...suddenly sank.

The last ray of moonlight was swallowed by the dense clouds, and the figure beside the door was blurred by the dark night and disappeared without a trace... For some reason, I suddenly felt a little annoyed.

Breathing was heavy, and every breath made Xia Yuebai feel very tired.

She asked her just now if she likes her... Do you like her?

With Xia Yuebai's current brain, she really couldn't figure it out, let alone the answer.

The relationship between two women, if it is the love of a friend, or the dependence of a best friend, she can understand and accept it, just like she and Ji Hui... They grew up together, shared each other's little secrets, and slept together while traveling.
