He lifted the long hair behind him and shook it out.
What is really chaotic right now is definitely not just this wind-torn hair.
★★★★★★★★★
On the occasion of the annual New Year, the city of Thebes is immersed in an infinitely noisy and enthusiastic atmosphere. This huge royal capital is surrounded by the strong aroma of wine and spices. This great city admired by the world is covered with a seductive and fiery color.
People from all over the square gathered in the square, and they pushed each other with wine jugs in an attempt to squeeze into the middle of the square.
Lively, noisy, stuffy, unscrupulous night.
Even in the small streets and alleys that are not usually prosperous, there are drunks who are drunk and unable to walk home. A few men are sitting or lying down on the street and sleeping, and within three or five steps you can see people leaning on the wall and vomiting.
The carriage stopped by the alley, and two men in black cloaks got out of the carriage.
They walked into a remote alley and saw three men walking towards each other who were supporting each other but still couldn't walk in a straight line. The strong smell of alcohol hit their faces.
The two pulled down the hood of the cloak, lowered their heads, and passed the three of them, their steps hurried.
A small courtyard appeared at the corner, and one of them reached out to knock on the door. After a while, the door opened, and the two entered at the same time.
"When will you do it?" The man who just stepped into the room and still couldn't hide his burly figure while sitting behind the table asked straight to the point.
The person in front came and sat down at the table, while the other stood by. "tomorrow."
"Is everything safe?"
"I'm more worried about accidents than you are."
Raising his eyebrows, the man smiled eccentrically, and there was an obvious disdain hidden in his words. "It's rare that both of you are here?"
The standing man in the cloak heard his contempt, and was about to speak, but was stopped by another person sitting.He put one hand on the edge of the table and said unhurriedly: "He has never met the general before, if the general is found in Thebes, he can guarantee the general's safety, can't he?"
"I've heard about General Sebulon's name for a long time, and I'm finally lucky enough to see his real face today. The Hittite generation's famous generals are indeed extraordinary." The slightly youthful voice revealed a trace of rudeness and frivolity. Sliding down slowly, revealing a handsome smiling face, Unas smiled freely as always, but was more bleak than before.
With a cold snort, Seblon turned his face contemptuously.
"General, success or failure is tomorrow. I don't know what is the general's arrangement?" It was the man who had never taken off the hood who spoke, with a calm tone and a slightly reserved tone.
"Don't worry, once something happens in the palace, just wait for Tusasita's confidantes to leave the palace, the killers arranged outside the palace will immediately kill them. When the time comes, everything will be under control."
"As soon as the Nile River Sacrifice ended, Marie set off for Syria. He is the general of the Third Army, and he must not be allowed to escape." Unas cut his hands behind his back and glanced frivolously at the entourage behind Sebulon , raised the corners of his lips and looked away with a smile, looking arrogant and willful.
"Lord Unas, don't worry. My people have already followed Marie as soon as he left the palace. When he leaves Thebes and goes to a remote place, they will take action and won't let him leave Egypt alive." Seb With the winning ticket in hand, Long said that he had already sent people to monitor every move of the palace. Not only Tusasita could not escape the disaster, but also those ministers who were loyal to her had to be dealt with together.
"When will Her Royal Highness arrive?" The man who was sitting was obviously still worried, and continued to ask.
Sebulon glanced at them like a torch, paused, and said: "Soon. My lord, I hope you can use your success to welcome Your Highness the Princess. You also know that Princess Anashika doesn't like losers."
The warning in Sebulon's words was already obvious, half threatening, half provocative to remind them that this operation cannot withstand failure.
A series of laughter came out from under the wide hood. The deep and cold smile made Sebulon's face change slightly.
"General, I only hope that on the day of success, the Hittites can fulfill their promise."
Smiling without saying a word, Sebron stood up and nodded slightly towards the two, then raised his hard chin proudly, turned and walked out.

Slowly walking into the room, Xia Yuebai was so tired that she just wanted to fall asleep.
"Miss!" Petunia walked up, worriedly looking at Xia Yuebai who came back from outside in the middle of the night.
Slightly startled. "Penny, why haven't you slept yet? Didn't I say, don't wait for me to come back?"
Petunia poured a glass of water, handed it to her, and said with a smile: "I don't worry, you haven't come back so late. Anyway, I'm not sleepy."
With a warm heart, in this huge palace like a city, only Petunia would care about her like a relative. "Sorry for keeping you waiting until now. Look, I've come back safely. This is the palace, and there are so many guards guarding it. What can happen to me?"
Smiling awkwardly, she went to the bed and pulled the blanket away, put the pillows flat again, turned her back to Xia Yuebai, and whispered: "Yes, this is the palace, nothing will happen."
Putting down the cup, Xia Yuebai took down the bracelet and put it on the table. Looking at the exquisitely crafted bracelet, she couldn't help but sigh... Tusasita returned the bracelet to her after saving her from the traffickers , Xia Yuebai has been carrying it with her since then, except for bathing and sleeping, she almost never leaves it.In her eyes, this is a lucky bracelet, a lucky charm for her to save herself from danger.
After finishing making the bed, Petunia found Xia Yuebai sitting at the table in a daze staring at the bracelet. She walked to her side and accompanied her quietly.
After a while, she came back to her senses, and suddenly looked up to find Penny standing beside her, Xia Yuebai said apologetically. "Petunia, you worked hard today too. It's alright, don't accompany me, go to bed quickly."
She didn't leave or speak. Petunia tightly clenched her hands in front of her. Her nails were embedded in the skin on the back of her hands. She looked down at the red marks that had been pinched out, her brows furrowed.
He reached out and patted her arm, not noticing her strangeness. "Penny, don't worry about me, I'm fine, go and rest."
Looking at Penny who was in a trance, Xia Yuebai felt moved and blamed herself, this little girl was busy all day long and worried about herself all day long.
Suddenly, without warning, Petunia dropped to her knees.
Frightened by her sudden action, Xia Yuebai quickly reached out to help her, but Petunia refused to get up.Xia Yuebai was so anxious that he was at a loss, while pulling her, he said eagerly: "Penny, what are you doing, get up, get up!"
Petunia bent down, her forehead was pressed against the delicate and soft carpet, but she felt abnormally hard and cold, and her body trembled unconsciously.
Confused, he looked at the prostrate man in amazement and bewilderment. "Penny, get up quickly. What happened, tell me quickly, don't do this!"
Looking up, the moment tears slipped out of her eyes, Penny tightly grasped Xia Yuebai's wrist, lowered her crying voice, and urgently said with trembling hands: "Miss, please...please save my family and- ---king!"
"What!?" Suddenly startled, suspecting that his ears had misheard.
"Miss..." Weeping uncontrollably, Petunia's eyes were filled with tears of panic and fear, she firmly grasped Xia Yuebai's wrist, as if it was the last hope in a life-threatening moment. "I can only come to beg you now, someone, someone——want to kill the king!"
His black eyes widened in shock, his breath suffocated.
The author has something to say: I came up to see it today, and the points were deducted by about 140 million points. Nima, what does this mean? ?Do you think my score is high? ?I could have passed 1000 million points today, and I wanted to celebrate, well, now there are only tears left. . . .I really don't understand?Why? ? ?
Chapter 27
"What are you talking about... who, who wants to kill Tusasita?" He said urgently, staring at Petunia's tear-stained face, Xia Yuebai found that his voice was trembling, just like her heartbeat at the moment, trembling endlessly .
"I don't know who is going to kill the king, but at the dinner party tomorrow, they will, will --- do it!"
"Where did you know that?" This was the biggest doubt in my heart. How did a humble maid learn about such a terrifying conspiracy to assassinate the Queen of Egypt.
With the shadow of death hovering in her eyes, Petunia lowered her head and remained silent.
In a hurry, he held Petunia's shoulder with his backhand and asked seriously, "Penny, answer me."
Slowly raising his head, he looked at her with almost desperate eyes, and his desolate voice was soaked in horror. "Two days ago, I went out of the palace with some maids. I was taken away. They want me... want me..."
"They want you to assassinate Tusahita!" Again, dumbfounded.
Suddenly her forehead hit the ground heavily, and Petunia's body couldn't help shaking violently in panic. "Miss, they took my family, if I don't listen to them, they will kill my family. Miss, my parents and four brothers and sisters are in their hands, I, I... don't know what to do?"
Panicked, his eyes flickered empty left and right, Xia Yuebai couldn't feel the slightest heat while standing in the wind that wasn't too cool in the summer night, his breathing was messy around his trembling lips, and his dull heartbeat stimulated his temples to swell Painful, brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
After a while, she lowered her head and reached out to pick up Penny who was still crying. "Penny, you get up first, come on."
"Miss, Petunia can only trust you, Miss must find a way!" Crying heavily, Petunia held Xia Yuebai's arm tightly, looking at her urgently and expectantly, regardless of etiquette.
"Why don't you tell Tusasita that she will save your family, and only she can protect them."
"Miss, I, I dare not. If I tell the king about this, my family will surely die. We are just pariahs as small as sand, and no one cares about our life or death. Miss, I know you and the people in this world Unlike other people, you have never regarded me as a lowly slave. This matter is related to the safety of the king, and Petunia really doesn't know what to do?"
"Who are those people who captured you?" She was very confused, but at the same time, she also understood that what Petunia told was the truth.In this slavery country thousands of years ago, in the eyes of the ruling class, slaves and civilians are not human beings at all, they are at most just animals that can work and talk.
Shaking his head, he whispered annoyedly. "They kept covering my eyes, and I didn't see the faces of those people. But, it seems..." He hesitated, wondering if his guess was right.
"Like what?"
"When they spoke, I seemed to hear Hittite. There is a carpet seller next to the West Square. He is a Hittite. I often go to his shop to choose carpets, so I can understand some Hittite." Life There are not many Hittites in Thebes, and the pronunciation of Hittite is very special, so Penny was very impressed with this language.
"Hittites?" A plateau country located in Anatolia, which once rivaled another ancient civilization empire in the Mesopotamia in history.
"Petunia, what do they want you to do?"
"Poison." The voice was as thin as a mosquito moan, full of extreme guilt.
"Give me the poison|drug." It's such a despicable and shameless method to use poison|drug.
"Miss!" Staring in shock, looking at Xia Yuebai who was frowning, Petunia hesitantly took out the vial from her arms and handed it to her.
"Penny, now I want you to recall the situation that day carefully, don't miss any details, and tell me everything you remember from beginning to end."
"Yes, ma'am."
Listen carefully to Petunia's memories, pay attention to the last details, and don't miss any suspicious places, hoping to find opportunities that can be exploited in her narrative.
When Penny finished speaking, Xia Yuebai had gradually pieced together the situation of the day.
"According to what they said, those people have been spying on you all the time. Even if you are in the palace, they can still know what you are doing anytime and anywhere. Whether you are an informer or you don't follow their arrangements, they will find out immediately. In this way It seems that the palace must still have their eyeliner." Frowning, if there are moles around him, the assassination will become more difficult.
"Yes, they told me that if I was disobedient and disrupted the operation, they would immediately kill my family." Thinking of what happened that day, Penny was still terrified.
In silence, Xia Yuebai looked at the window, like water and moonlight rippled by the window, but burned her eyes like a silver sea of fire.
After a while, he cast his eyes on Petunia, patted the back of her hand, and comforted her: "Penny, let me think about what I should do. It's getting late now, so hurry back and don't attract other people's attention."
"Miss, I..." He hesitated to speak, frowned and lowered his head.
"I will definitely figure out a way, don't worry." She smiled gently, revealing a trace of fatigue.
"Yes, miss." Kneeling down, bowing with infinite gratitude. "Miss, Petunia, on behalf of the family, thank you for your kindness."
"Get up, don't thank me. When I was injured, you took care of me with all your heart. I owe you a favor." He stretched out his hand to help her up, smiling slightly, but he couldn't hide the serious worry on his face.
Nodded, answered. "Penny dare not be, it's Petunia's responsibility to take care of Miss."
"Hurry up and go back, be careful." Xia Yuebai glanced at the door and whispered.
"Yes." After saluting, Penny exited the room.
His gaze swept across the entire room, exquisite furnishings, flickering candles, beautiful murals... all the luxury and all kinds of beauty, at this moment, looked completely different.
Sitting in this dazzling and colorful world, Xia Yuebai was scared and lonely at the same time. When she traveled through time and broke into another dimension, and then continued to adapt to the new life, she never knew that one day, she would be able to... Need to face this huge conspiracy enough to shake the Egyptian dynasty.
Assassinate the Queen of Egypt!
What this means, she understands, but she can't explain clearly.
Is the departure of a king just a simple change of dynasty?Is it just another change of hands in power?Or, again, the fate of the country will become confusing and full of panic and chaos.
However, in her eyes, it's just the same throne with another person sitting on it.
What should I do?
The choices before Xia Yuebai were pitifully few.
If she chooses to tell Tusasita about the assassination, as Penny said, her family will definitely die.No one would care about those civilians whose lives are like straws, let alone those humble and insignificant lives that are involved in the plot to assassinate the emperor. It is clear at a glance which is more important.
If, she chooses to remain silent - for no reason, Xia Yuebai immediately vetoed the unformed thoughts in her mind with a tremor.
She won't be silent, can't be silent, and even more... doesn't want to be silent.
The Egyptian queen who always looked down on the world with an indifferent smile must not die in a glass of poisoned wine, absolutely not.
Poison killing...Suddenly, Xia Huatian once said in his mind that the cause of Tusasita's death is unknown, maybe he died in the war, maybe he died in the assassination.
Shaking his head vigorously, he drove the repeated chaotic voice out of his dull brain.Xia Yuebai took a deep breath, and seriously warned herself, calm down, calm down and think of a solution.
Beside the table, the bright firelight illuminates the pale side face entangled in heavy worries, the drooping hair rises and falls irregularly and slowly with the night wind flowing in from the window, and the shadow of a moonlight rises and falls faintly In the dark hair.
The silver is as vast as the sea, and the sorrow is as the sea.
★★★★★★★★★
In the early morning, Xia Yuebai, who was sitting by the window, opened her heavy eyelids, and slowly let the morning breeze with the fragrance of flowers waft up the exhaustion in her body that had not slept all night.
Lowering his eyes, he quietly looked at the bottle of poison in his hand.
The black eyes shone with the immature light of the morning sun, like a pool of icy jade light shattered into thousands of pieces.
After a long while, he tightened his five fingers, grasped the small bottle that concealed the murderous intention, and held it in his fingers for a whole night, but still had no trace of warmth in the bottle body.The overstretched knuckles were pale and fragile, different from the deep black under her eyes, the bright black revealed the determination and courage after careful consideration.
He raised his head, turned towards the door, and called out, "Come here."
The door was pushed open, and the maid walked in, nodding. "Miss Xia."
"Get ready to wash up, go find Petunia."
"Yes." The maid saluted again and exited the room respectfully.
Since Tusasita and Petunia's family members both needed protection, they had to find a way to get the best of both worlds.If she could save so many lives at the lowest price, Xia Yuebai believed that her method would definitely be worth a try.
★★★★★★★★★
The bustling hall is full of intoxicating aroma of wine and seductive singing and dancing. The enthusiastic maikos set off an ambiguous and enchanting atmosphere. The small bells wrapped around the hands and feet of the maids make crisp sounds, guiding the greedy eyes of men like nothing in the air. The ubiquitous scent lingered tightly around their young and graceful swaying figures.
The moment she stepped into the main hall, Xia Yuebai covered her mouth and nose lightly, and was choked by the strong smell mixed with spices and alcohol that rushed towards her face. The overly fragrant smell, filled with the loud noises of men making fun of them, made the scene in front of her even more beautiful. The charm that makes people blush.
Walking slowly to the front of the throne, he nodded. "king."
The eyebrows were raised slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his voice was still calm. "sit down"
"My lord, can I sit by your side?"
Undoubtedly, such a sudden sentence has attracted the attention of many people.They were all looking at this servant who made a bold request, and there was nothing wrong with sitting beside Tusasita as her.
Everyone knows that the Queen of Egypt has special preferences, but no one has really blatantly said this. Now Xia Yuebai is standing in full view and making such an eye-catching request.It is conceivable that it has aroused people's curiosity to a large extent, and they are all wondering what kind of answer the Queen will give.
In such a state banquet surrounded by domestic officials and foreign envoys, such a willful and ambiguous request, Tusasita probably would not agree.After all, she is the queen of Egypt, and she is her chamberlain.
"Come here." As her unhurried tone sounded, she leaned back into the soft cushion and stared at Xia Yuebai who came up the stairs with a pair of meaningful narrow eyes.
After everyone's slight surprise, those who drank continued to drink, and those who chatted continued to chat, and their attention was attracted by the beautiful maid pouring wine beside them. People looked at each other with understanding and smiled, and everything returned to normal.
Came to her side and sat down, Petunia helped her tidy up the messy skirt, Xia Yuebai said softly, Petunia nodded and retreated.
Looking sideways, looking at Sasita's thoughtful eyes, indifferent and silent eyes, you can never see through the abyss in your heart. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"No." He stared at her without moving, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Looking at the still lively crowd in the hall, the atmosphere that had been stagnant because of his request just now changed back to lively and lively because of Tusasita's answer in a blink of an eye. "Today is really lively."
The cup near his lips stopped for a while, and then he drank it all before saying: "I remember, you don't like lively places, why are you here tonight?"
Glancing at the food on the table, she didn't sleep all night, and she really didn't have any appetite. She reached out to pick up the water that the maid brought her, took a sip, and said lightly: "Occasionally I have to join in the fun, it's boring to be alone all the time. .”
"Hmm." It was just a monosyllabic word with vague meaning.
"I went to see Arnis in the afternoon. He looks very weak. Why don't you ask the medical officer to take a look?" After the Nile River Festival, Arnis excused himself from being unwell and never appeared in public.I thought he was just like me because he was afraid of too many people and too much noise, but I didn't expect him to be really sick.The two chatted for a while in the afternoon, and he was so weak that even a complete sentence was interrupted several times by coughing.
The eyes that reflected the firelight flickered, then flickered. "He won't let the medical officer in. Alnis knows medical skills, and he will heal himself."
Frowning, because of Arnis' inexplicable stubbornness.
"What are you thinking about?"
The sudden voice startled Xia Yuebai, who was in deep thought, and then she came back to her senses, and looked away from Tusasita's quiet but always puzzling eyes. "...I didn't think about anything."
"Why don't you eat and become so thin, the river wind can blow you away."
He smiled reluctantly and said nothing.
The maiko bowed to the throne after dancing a song, and retreated from the stage like a river.
The figure of Tusasita leaning on the throne is completely enveloped by brightly lit brilliance, the corners of his slightly raised lips always carry that kind of carelessness and frivolity, and the exquisite crown is shining with dazzling light... I don’t know why , Xia Yuebai suddenly felt sad.
There was another enthusiastic performance on the stage. Putting down the empty cup and resting his chin with one hand, Tusasita lazily stared at the stage.
Petunia stepped forward to take the jug from the maid's hand, knelt down beside Tusa Sita, carefully poured the wine for her, and exchanged glances with Xia Yuebai when she stepped back.
Stretching out her hand, her fingertips trembled uncontrollably. The moment she held the wine glass, a slender and beautiful hand suddenly grabbed her hand holding the wine glass, and her strong cold fingers pinched her stiff wrist, as if An inescapable chain around the wrist.
"Yuebai, this is my cup." She opened her mouth, her eyes lightly lingering on Xia Yuebai's already pale face.
His throat moved, his lips trembled unconsciously, and he replied bluntly, "I want to taste this wine."
"Let them pour you a glass."
"I... want this cup."
"Since when have we been close enough to drink a glass of wine together? You were avoiding me last night, seeing me was like seeing a scourge." Raising his eyebrows, he noticed that the slender wrist in his hand was trembling. Sit up straight.
"..." The moment before my eyes flashed past the small courtyard last night... the moonlight, the tip of the grass, the night wind, Tusasita's lost eyes... The dazzling light shone in this glass of wine, feeling a little far away.
Still clasping Xia Yuebai's wrist, he silently stretched out his other hand to hold the rim of the glass, feeling the stubborn resistance from his slender fingers, Tusasita took the wine glass out of Xia Yuebai's hand effortlessly.Faintly, she cast a glance at the cup, a cold light flashed from the bottom of her eyes, she smiled without saying a word.However, the hand she locked on Xia Yuebai's wrist showed no sign of letting go.
"Tusasita!" He whispered to her in panic, his black eyes gleaming.
"what?"
"Don't, don't drink... in the wine----"
Suddenly, five fingers gripped the slender wrist even tighter. The swift and violent force could almost break the trembling wrist bone instantly, and at the same time, it also effectively stopped Xia Yuebai's voice that was about to blurt out.Leaning over, the moment a pair of terrified black eyes rippled, Tusasita's smiling lips quietly approached her face, and her warm breath swept over Xia Yue with those brown eyes. Pale face, very hot.
She pressed against Xia Yuebai's ear, with her lips brushing against the hair beside her ear, and a few strands of black hair were blown gently like the wind.
"I know," she said.
"You!?" Shocked, all the blood faded from his pale as wax face in an instant.
The face close at hand, with a calm smile, and the golden-spotted pupils are like a bottomless abyss, blooming with a seductive fire-like light, hot and magnificent, treacherous.
Suddenly, I felt that Tusasita's eyes were really beautiful, a kind of beauty that contained countless unknowns but could not be seen by others, so it was so charming that it was unbearable.Suddenly, I feel that her eyes are really too strange, a kind of strangeness that I want to escape because I am afraid, but I can't get rid of it...
There was a moment of silence between the two.
For a moment, in Xia Yuebai's suddenly horrified eyes, it was reflected that Tusaxita poured a glass of wine down her throat... At this moment, she seemed to hear a scream from the bottom of her heart, just in a blink of an eye... Her tears also rushed out of her dry eyes.
The rolling tears blurred his vision, his cold breath choked on his trembling lips, and following Tusasita's sideways glance and a calm smile, Xia Yuebai almost cried out.
In just a moment, a trace of blood slowly flowed down from the corner of Tusasita's slightly raised mouth...
Accompanied by the severe cough that followed, a strong sweet smell sprayed out from the mouth, dark red blood fell on the snow-white robe and the table, and the sharply contrasting colors reflected the shocking color of death.
The crowd was in chaos, the air was in chaos, and everything in front of them was in chaos.
The frightened guests screamed and fled, the exquisite utensils fell and shattered, the room was terrified, and the ground was in chaos... The surrounding air was filled with the terrifying shadow brought by the sudden collapse of the sky and the earth.
"Seal the palace, hurry up! Immediately block all passages, no one can enter or leave the palace!" Hoktimos yelled in horror, and immediately reacted, he commanded the army to seal the entire palace. "Arrest all the maids and slaves in the palace!" Then he roared and ordered, and the guards outside the palace rushed in immediately, and surrounded the entire noisy palace.
Tusahita tilted her body and supported the edge of the table with one hand. The severe pain in her abdomen made her clenched her fists tightly. The pain that seemed to tear her internal organs into pieces with both hands made it more and more difficult for her to concentrate .
His face turned pale with fright, and at the moment Tusasita coughed up the first mouthful of black blood, Xia Yuebai's mind was already blank except for that horrible ball of color.When she came back to her senses, she stretched out her arms to wrap her crumbling body.Suddenly, she found that her body temperature was very low, and she could hardly feel any temperature.
"Tusasita, drink the water! Medical officer, find the medical officer!" He grabbed his glass of water and fed it to the corner of her mouth, while shouting uncontrollably at the chaotic crowd with blurred eyes.
Swallowing the clear water with difficulty, there was another almost suffocating cough, and more than half of the glass of water was spit out. "Yue... Bai..."
"Here I am, Tusasita...I am here."
His sight was dazzled by the dazzling lights above his head, the white light gradually expanded in his eyes, Xia Yuebai's tear-ridden face was gradually swallowed up by this white light, Tusasita opened his mouth with difficulty and weakness, intermittent breaths shattered on his lips In a line of blood gushing out.
"Stay by my... side to be... safe."
It is impossible to say clearly, what kind of feeling Xia Yuebai felt in his panic-filled heart when he heard Tusasita's words, there was a cold and dull voice slowly spreading in the surrounding noise, just like his own heart The sound of being crushed in an instant, a very soft sound, made her want to scream in pain in an instant.
Maybe it was the pain of seeing her helpless when she drank the poisoned wine; maybe it was the feeling that she was still worried about her own safety after being poisoned; It's because I don't know how to face the confused and confused emotions expressed by a woman.
The tall dome of the hall twisted upside down under Tusasita's half-opened eyes, and the moment she slowly fell into Xia Yuebai's arms, her fluffy brown eyes cast on the chaotic crowd, shaking figures, blurred faces, and a few familiar faces. His face was set off by the shattered light and shadow, making it difficult to distinguish reality from reality.
Shallowly, she raised her blood-stained lips, a charming and beautiful color of blood concealed her silent sneer.

Chapter 28
Tusaxita tightly held the hand on Xia Yuebai's wrist, and did not let go from the beginning to the end.
It wasn't until the tense medical officer arrived and forcibly separated the fingers of the unconscious Tusahita that the wrist she had been holding tightly was released. Looking down at her slightly red skin, Xia Yue was pale and numb. Sitting kneeling beside the couch, worriedly watching Tusasita whose lips were extremely pale due to a line of blood at the corner of his mouth.
The proud and arrogant queen of Egypt lay still, as quiet as sleeping.Those beautiful and sharp eyes were hidden under the closed eyelids, and the weak breathing rose and fell on the chest, and the brocade-like luxurious cold hair scattered on the pillow swayed in the wind, shaking away a silent black shadow.
In order not to disturb the treatment, the medical officer asked everyone to leave the room, although Xia Yuebai obediently followed everyone out of the room despite his extreme reluctance.
How did things become like this?This is a far cry from the plan I came up with overnight.
Up to now, Xia Yuebai still has a lot of questions that he can't figure out.
How did Tussita know that someone was going to poison her?
Why didn't she expose the assassination plot?
What Xia Yuebai couldn't understand the most was that since she knew the wine was poisonous, why did this crazy woman still drink it?
"Your Highness!" Someone gave a low voice, interrupting Xia Yuebai's deep thinking.She followed the sound and saw Alnis sitting in a soft rattan chair carried by monks, appearing in front of everyone with a pale face.
"How is the king now?" He asked, with an overly eager breath, which caused him to cough a few times.
Bahari bowed, and replied with a frown: "The medical officer is treating inside. Your Highness, you are not in good health. You should go back first. If there is a situation, I will send someone to report back immediately."
Shaking his head, with bloodless lips, he spoke in extreme exhaustion. "I'm going in, open the door."
The guard at the door opened the door, and Arnis got up from the chair. Two maids on the left and one on the right supported his bony body. He walked anxiously, staggered and fell forward...
A pair of arms stretched out in front of him, wrapped around his shoulders, and held him steady at the right time.
Looking up, anxious and frightened eyes were hit by a pair of melancholy and gentle eyes straight into the bottom of my heart, Arnis was startled, and then realized something, immediately pushed away Hawktimus' hand, and was supported by the maid without saying a word step into the room.
Hawktimus lowered his head, with a look of disappointment hidden in his eyes, and stood silently by the door.
Alnis stayed for a long time, about two hours.
When he got on the soft chair and left exhaustedly, the cloudy brow was covered with bleak moonlight, and the faint misty water color permeated the lowered eyes, and he disappeared silently under the anxious and blank gaze of the crowd.
"Lord Bahari, Lord Hawktimus, and Lord Unas, please come in." The maid stood by the half-open door and summoned softly and respectfully.
Walking forward, looking into the room through the half-open door, Xia Yuebai was like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and flustered.
Unas walked to the door and patted her on the shoulder. "Yuebai, don't worry, His Highness Alnis has come down, and the king will be fine."
With a wry smile, he nodded in doubt.
Seeing Xia Yuebai's pale face reflected in the moonlight, Unas sighed softly, turned and walked into the room.

What is really chaotic right now is definitely not just this wind-torn hair.

On the occasion of the annual New Year, the city of Thebes is immersed in an infinitely noisy and enthusiastic atmosphere. This huge royal capital is surrounded by the strong aroma of wine and spices. This great city admired by the world is covered with a seductive and fiery color.
People from all over the square gathered in the square, and they pushed each other with wine jugs in an attempt to squeeze into the middle of the square.
Lively, noisy, stuffy, unscrupulous night.
Even in the small streets and alleys that are not usually prosperous, there are drunks who are drunk and unable to walk home. A few men are sitting or lying down on the street and sleeping, and within three or five steps you can see people leaning on the wall and vomiting.
The carriage stopped by the alley, and two men in black cloaks got out of the carriage.
They walked into a remote alley and saw three men walking towards each other who were supporting each other but still couldn't walk in a straight line. The strong smell of alcohol hit their faces.
The two pulled down the hood of the cloak, lowered their heads, and passed the three of them, their steps hurried.
A small courtyard appeared at the corner, and one of them reached out to knock on the door. After a while, the door opened, and the two entered at the same time.
"When will you do it?" The man who just stepped into the room and still couldn't hide his burly figure while sitting behind the table asked straight to the point.
The person in front came and sat down at the table, while the other stood by. "tomorrow."
"Is everything safe?"
"I'm more worried about accidents than you are."
Raising his eyebrows, the man smiled eccentrically, and there was an obvious disdain hidden in his words. "It's rare that both of you are here?"
The standing man in the cloak heard his contempt, and was about to speak, but was stopped by another person sitting.He put one hand on the edge of the table and said unhurriedly: "He has never met the general before, if the general is found in Thebes, he can guarantee the general's safety, can't he?"
"I've heard about General Sebulon's name for a long time, and I'm finally lucky enough to see his real face today. The Hittite generation's famous generals are indeed extraordinary." The slightly youthful voice revealed a trace of rudeness and frivolity. Sliding down slowly, revealing a handsome smiling face, Unas smiled freely as always, but was more bleak than before.
With a cold snort, Seblon turned his face contemptuously.
"General, success or failure is tomorrow. I don't know what is the general's arrangement?" It was the man who had never taken off the hood who spoke, with a calm tone and a slightly reserved tone.
"Don't worry, once something happens in the palace, just wait for Tusasita's confidantes to leave the palace, the killers arranged outside the palace will immediately kill them. When the time comes, everything will be under control."
"As soon as the Nile River Sacrifice ended, Marie set off for Syria. He is the general of the Third Army, and he must not be allowed to escape." Unas cut his hands behind his back and glanced frivolously at the entourage behind Sebulon , raised the corners of his lips and looked away with a smile, looking arrogant and willful.
"Lord Unas, don't worry. My people have already followed Marie as soon as he left the palace. When he leaves Thebes and goes to a remote place, they will take action and won't let him leave Egypt alive." Seb With the winning ticket in hand, Long said that he had already sent people to monitor every move of the palace. Not only Tusasita could not escape the disaster, but also those ministers who were loyal to her had to be dealt with together.
"When will Her Royal Highness arrive?" The man who was sitting was obviously still worried, and continued to ask.
Sebulon glanced at them like a torch, paused, and said: "Soon. My lord, I hope you can use your success to welcome Your Highness the Princess. You also know that Princess Anashika doesn't like losers."
The warning in Sebulon's words was already obvious, half threatening, half provocative to remind them that this operation cannot withstand failure.
A series of laughter came out from under the wide hood. The deep and cold smile made Sebulon's face change slightly.
"General, I only hope that on the day of success, the Hittites can fulfill their promise."
Smiling without saying a word, Sebron stood up and nodded slightly towards the two, then raised his hard chin proudly, turned and walked out.

Slowly walking into the room, Xia Yuebai was so tired that she just wanted to fall asleep.
"Miss!" Petunia walked up, worriedly looking at Xia Yuebai who came back from outside in the middle of the night.
Slightly startled. "Penny, why haven't you slept yet? Didn't I say, don't wait for me to come back?"
Petunia poured a glass of water, handed it to her, and said with a smile: "I don't worry, you haven't come back so late. Anyway, I'm not sleepy."
With a warm heart, in this huge palace like a city, only Petunia would care about her like a relative. "Sorry for keeping you waiting until now. Look, I've come back safely. This is the palace, and there are so many guards guarding it. What can happen to me?"
Smiling awkwardly, she went to the bed and pulled the blanket away, put the pillows flat again, turned her back to Xia Yuebai, and whispered: "Yes, this is the palace, nothing will happen."
Putting down the cup, Xia Yuebai took down the bracelet and put it on the table. Looking at the exquisitely crafted bracelet, she couldn't help but sigh... Tusasita returned the bracelet to her after saving her from the traffickers , Xia Yuebai has been carrying it with her since then, except for bathing and sleeping, she almost never leaves it.In her eyes, this is a lucky bracelet, a lucky charm for her to save herself from danger.
After finishing making the bed, Petunia found Xia Yuebai sitting at the table in a daze staring at the bracelet. She walked to her side and accompanied her quietly.
After a while, she came back to her senses, and suddenly looked up to find Penny standing beside her, Xia Yuebai said apologetically. "Petunia, you worked hard today too. It's alright, don't accompany me, go to bed quickly."
She didn't leave or speak. Petunia tightly clenched her hands in front of her. Her nails were embedded in the skin on the back of her hands. She looked down at the red marks that had been pinched out, her brows furrowed.
He reached out and patted her arm, not noticing her strangeness. "Penny, don't worry about me, I'm fine, go and rest."
Looking at Penny who was in a trance, Xia Yuebai felt moved and blamed herself, this little girl was busy all day long and worried about herself all day long.
Suddenly, without warning, Petunia dropped to her knees.
Frightened by her sudden action, Xia Yuebai quickly reached out to help her, but Petunia refused to get up.Xia Yuebai was so anxious that he was at a loss, while pulling her, he said eagerly: "Penny, what are you doing, get up, get up!"
Petunia bent down, her forehead was pressed against the delicate and soft carpet, but she felt abnormally hard and cold, and her body trembled unconsciously.
Confused, he looked at the prostrate man in amazement and bewilderment. "Penny, get up quickly. What happened, tell me quickly, don't do this!"
Looking up, the moment tears slipped out of her eyes, Penny tightly grasped Xia Yuebai's wrist, lowered her crying voice, and urgently said with trembling hands: "Miss, please...please save my family and- ---king!"
"What!?" Suddenly startled, suspecting that his ears had misheard.
"Miss..." Weeping uncontrollably, Petunia's eyes were filled with tears of panic and fear, she firmly grasped Xia Yuebai's wrist, as if it was the last hope in a life-threatening moment. "I can only come to beg you now, someone, someone——want to kill the king!"
His black eyes widened in shock, his breath suffocated.
The author has something to say: I came up to see it today, and the points were deducted by about 140 million points. Nima, what does this mean? ?Do you think my score is high? ?I could have passed 1000 million points today, and I wanted to celebrate, well, now there are only tears left. . . .I really don't understand?Why? ? ?
Chapter 27
"What are you talking about... who, who wants to kill Tusasita?" He said urgently, staring at Petunia's tear-stained face, Xia Yuebai found that his voice was trembling, just like her heartbeat at the moment, trembling endlessly .
"I don't know who is going to kill the king, but at the dinner party tomorrow, they will, will --- do it!"
"Where did you know that?" This was the biggest doubt in my heart. How did a humble maid learn about such a terrifying conspiracy to assassinate the Queen of Egypt.
With the shadow of death hovering in her eyes, Petunia lowered her head and remained silent.
In a hurry, he held Petunia's shoulder with his backhand and asked seriously, "Penny, answer me."
Slowly raising his head, he looked at her with almost desperate eyes, and his desolate voice was soaked in horror. "Two days ago, I went out of the palace with some maids. I was taken away. They want me... want me..."
"They want you to assassinate Tusahita!" Again, dumbfounded.
Suddenly her forehead hit the ground heavily, and Petunia's body couldn't help shaking violently in panic. "Miss, they took my family, if I don't listen to them, they will kill my family. Miss, my parents and four brothers and sisters are in their hands, I, I... don't know what to do?"
Panicked, his eyes flickered empty left and right, Xia Yuebai couldn't feel the slightest heat while standing in the wind that wasn't too cool in the summer night, his breathing was messy around his trembling lips, and his dull heartbeat stimulated his temples to swell Painful, brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
After a while, she lowered her head and reached out to pick up Penny who was still crying. "Penny, you get up first, come on."
"Miss, Petunia can only trust you, Miss must find a way!" Crying heavily, Petunia held Xia Yuebai's arm tightly, looking at her urgently and expectantly, regardless of etiquette.
"Why don't you tell Tusasita that she will save your family, and only she can protect them."
"Miss, I, I dare not. If I tell the king about this, my family will surely die. We are just pariahs as small as sand, and no one cares about our life or death. Miss, I know you and the people in this world Unlike other people, you have never regarded me as a lowly slave. This matter is related to the safety of the king, and Petunia really doesn't know what to do?"
"Who are those people who captured you?" She was very confused, but at the same time, she also understood that what Petunia told was the truth.In this slavery country thousands of years ago, in the eyes of the ruling class, slaves and civilians are not human beings at all, they are at most just animals that can work and talk.
Shaking his head, he whispered annoyedly. "They kept covering my eyes, and I didn't see the faces of those people. But, it seems..." He hesitated, wondering if his guess was right.
"Like what?"
"When they spoke, I seemed to hear Hittite. There is a carpet seller next to the West Square. He is a Hittite. I often go to his shop to choose carpets, so I can understand some Hittite." Life There are not many Hittites in Thebes, and the pronunciation of Hittite is very special, so Penny was very impressed with this language.
"Hittites?" A plateau country located in Anatolia, which once rivaled another ancient civilization empire in the Mesopotamia in history.
"Petunia, what do they want you to do?"
"Poison." The voice was as thin as a mosquito moan, full of extreme guilt.
"Give me the poison|drug." It's such a despicable and shameless method to use poison|drug.
"Miss!" Staring in shock, looking at Xia Yuebai who was frowning, Petunia hesitantly took out the vial from her arms and handed it to her.
"Penny, now I want you to recall the situation that day carefully, don't miss any details, and tell me everything you remember from beginning to end."
"Yes, ma'am."
Listen carefully to Petunia's memories, pay attention to the last details, and don't miss any suspicious places, hoping to find opportunities that can be exploited in her narrative.
When Penny finished speaking, Xia Yuebai had gradually pieced together the situation of the day.
"According to what they said, those people have been spying on you all the time. Even if you are in the palace, they can still know what you are doing anytime and anywhere. Whether you are an informer or you don't follow their arrangements, they will find out immediately. In this way It seems that the palace must still have their eyeliner." Frowning, if there are moles around him, the assassination will become more difficult.
"Yes, they told me that if I was disobedient and disrupted the operation, they would immediately kill my family." Thinking of what happened that day, Penny was still terrified.
In silence, Xia Yuebai looked at the window, like water and moonlight rippled by the window, but burned her eyes like a silver sea of fire.
After a while, he cast his eyes on Petunia, patted the back of her hand, and comforted her: "Penny, let me think about what I should do. It's getting late now, so hurry back and don't attract other people's attention."
"Miss, I..." He hesitated to speak, frowned and lowered his head.
"I will definitely figure out a way, don't worry." She smiled gently, revealing a trace of fatigue.
"Yes, miss." Kneeling down, bowing with infinite gratitude. "Miss, Petunia, on behalf of the family, thank you for your kindness."
"Get up, don't thank me. When I was injured, you took care of me with all your heart. I owe you a favor." He stretched out his hand to help her up, smiling slightly, but he couldn't hide the serious worry on his face.
Nodded, answered. "Penny dare not be, it's Petunia's responsibility to take care of Miss."
"Hurry up and go back, be careful." Xia Yuebai glanced at the door and whispered.
"Yes." After saluting, Penny exited the room.
His gaze swept across the entire room, exquisite furnishings, flickering candles, beautiful murals... all the luxury and all kinds of beauty, at this moment, looked completely different.
Sitting in this dazzling and colorful world, Xia Yuebai was scared and lonely at the same time. When she traveled through time and broke into another dimension, and then continued to adapt to the new life, she never knew that one day, she would be able to... Need to face this huge conspiracy enough to shake the Egyptian dynasty.
Assassinate the Queen of Egypt!
What this means, she understands, but she can't explain clearly.
Is the departure of a king just a simple change of dynasty?Is it just another change of hands in power?Or, again, the fate of the country will become confusing and full of panic and chaos.
However, in her eyes, it's just the same throne with another person sitting on it.
What should I do?
The choices before Xia Yuebai were pitifully few.
If she chooses to tell Tusasita about the assassination, as Penny said, her family will definitely die.No one would care about those civilians whose lives are like straws, let alone those humble and insignificant lives that are involved in the plot to assassinate the emperor. It is clear at a glance which is more important.
If, she chooses to remain silent - for no reason, Xia Yuebai immediately vetoed the unformed thoughts in her mind with a tremor.
She won't be silent, can't be silent, and even more... doesn't want to be silent.
The Egyptian queen who always looked down on the world with an indifferent smile must not die in a glass of poisoned wine, absolutely not.
Poison killing...Suddenly, Xia Huatian once said in his mind that the cause of Tusasita's death is unknown, maybe he died in the war, maybe he died in the assassination.
Shaking his head vigorously, he drove the repeated chaotic voice out of his dull brain.Xia Yuebai took a deep breath, and seriously warned herself, calm down, calm down and think of a solution.
Beside the table, the bright firelight illuminates the pale side face entangled in heavy worries, the drooping hair rises and falls irregularly and slowly with the night wind flowing in from the window, and the shadow of a moonlight rises and falls faintly In the dark hair.
The silver is as vast as the sea, and the sorrow is as the sea.
★★★★★★★★★
In the early morning, Xia Yuebai, who was sitting by the window, opened her heavy eyelids, and slowly let the morning breeze with the fragrance of flowers waft up the exhaustion in her body that had not slept all night.
Lowering his eyes, he quietly looked at the bottle of poison in his hand.
The black eyes shone with the immature light of the morning sun, like a pool of icy jade light shattered into thousands of pieces.
After a long while, he tightened his five fingers, grasped the small bottle that concealed the murderous intention, and held it in his fingers for a whole night, but still had no trace of warmth in the bottle body.The overstretched knuckles were pale and fragile, different from the deep black under her eyes, the bright black revealed the determination and courage after careful consideration.
He raised his head, turned towards the door, and called out, "Come here."
The door was pushed open, and the maid walked in, nodding. "Miss Xia."
"Get ready to wash up, go find Petunia."
"Yes." The maid saluted again and exited the room respectfully.
Since Tusasita and Petunia's family members both needed protection, they had to find a way to get the best of both worlds.If she could save so many lives at the lowest price, Xia Yuebai believed that her method would definitely be worth a try.
★★★★★★★★★
The bustling hall is full of intoxicating aroma of wine and seductive singing and dancing. The enthusiastic maikos set off an ambiguous and enchanting atmosphere. The small bells wrapped around the hands and feet of the maids make crisp sounds, guiding the greedy eyes of men like nothing in the air. The ubiquitous scent lingered tightly around their young and graceful swaying figures.
The moment she stepped into the main hall, Xia Yuebai covered her mouth and nose lightly, and was choked by the strong smell mixed with spices and alcohol that rushed towards her face. The overly fragrant smell, filled with the loud noises of men making fun of them, made the scene in front of her even more beautiful. The charm that makes people blush.
Walking slowly to the front of the throne, he nodded. "king."
The eyebrows were raised slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his voice was still calm. "sit down"
"My lord, can I sit by your side?"
Undoubtedly, such a sudden sentence has attracted the attention of many people.They were all looking at this servant who made a bold request, and there was nothing wrong with sitting beside Tusasita as her.
Everyone knows that the Queen of Egypt has special preferences, but no one has really blatantly said this. Now Xia Yuebai is standing in full view and making such an eye-catching request.It is conceivable that it has aroused people's curiosity to a large extent, and they are all wondering what kind of answer the Queen will give.
In such a state banquet surrounded by domestic officials and foreign envoys, such a willful and ambiguous request, Tusasita probably would not agree.After all, she is the queen of Egypt, and she is her chamberlain.
"Come here." As her unhurried tone sounded, she leaned back into the soft cushion and stared at Xia Yuebai who came up the stairs with a pair of meaningful narrow eyes.
After everyone's slight surprise, those who drank continued to drink, and those who chatted continued to chat, and their attention was attracted by the beautiful maid pouring wine beside them. People looked at each other with understanding and smiled, and everything returned to normal.
Came to her side and sat down, Petunia helped her tidy up the messy skirt, Xia Yuebai said softly, Petunia nodded and retreated.
Looking sideways, looking at Sasita's thoughtful eyes, indifferent and silent eyes, you can never see through the abyss in your heart. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"No." He stared at her without moving, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Looking at the still lively crowd in the hall, the atmosphere that had been stagnant because of his request just now changed back to lively and lively because of Tusasita's answer in a blink of an eye. "Today is really lively."
The cup near his lips stopped for a while, and then he drank it all before saying: "I remember, you don't like lively places, why are you here tonight?"
Glancing at the food on the table, she didn't sleep all night, and she really didn't have any appetite. She reached out to pick up the water that the maid brought her, took a sip, and said lightly: "Occasionally I have to join in the fun, it's boring to be alone all the time. .”
"Hmm." It was just a monosyllabic word with vague meaning.
"I went to see Arnis in the afternoon. He looks very weak. Why don't you ask the medical officer to take a look?" After the Nile River Festival, Arnis excused himself from being unwell and never appeared in public.I thought he was just like me because he was afraid of too many people and too much noise, but I didn't expect him to be really sick.The two chatted for a while in the afternoon, and he was so weak that even a complete sentence was interrupted several times by coughing.
The eyes that reflected the firelight flickered, then flickered. "He won't let the medical officer in. Alnis knows medical skills, and he will heal himself."
Frowning, because of Arnis' inexplicable stubbornness.
"What are you thinking about?"
The sudden voice startled Xia Yuebai, who was in deep thought, and then she came back to her senses, and looked away from Tusasita's quiet but always puzzling eyes. "...I didn't think about anything."
"Why don't you eat and become so thin, the river wind can blow you away."
He smiled reluctantly and said nothing.
The maiko bowed to the throne after dancing a song, and retreated from the stage like a river.
The figure of Tusasita leaning on the throne is completely enveloped by brightly lit brilliance, the corners of his slightly raised lips always carry that kind of carelessness and frivolity, and the exquisite crown is shining with dazzling light... I don’t know why , Xia Yuebai suddenly felt sad.
There was another enthusiastic performance on the stage. Putting down the empty cup and resting his chin with one hand, Tusasita lazily stared at the stage.
Petunia stepped forward to take the jug from the maid's hand, knelt down beside Tusa Sita, carefully poured the wine for her, and exchanged glances with Xia Yuebai when she stepped back.
Stretching out her hand, her fingertips trembled uncontrollably. The moment she held the wine glass, a slender and beautiful hand suddenly grabbed her hand holding the wine glass, and her strong cold fingers pinched her stiff wrist, as if An inescapable chain around the wrist.
"Yuebai, this is my cup." She opened her mouth, her eyes lightly lingering on Xia Yuebai's already pale face.
His throat moved, his lips trembled unconsciously, and he replied bluntly, "I want to taste this wine."
"Let them pour you a glass."
"I... want this cup."
"Since when have we been close enough to drink a glass of wine together? You were avoiding me last night, seeing me was like seeing a scourge." Raising his eyebrows, he noticed that the slender wrist in his hand was trembling. Sit up straight.
"..." The moment before my eyes flashed past the small courtyard last night... the moonlight, the tip of the grass, the night wind, Tusasita's lost eyes... The dazzling light shone in this glass of wine, feeling a little far away.
Still clasping Xia Yuebai's wrist, he silently stretched out his other hand to hold the rim of the glass, feeling the stubborn resistance from his slender fingers, Tusasita took the wine glass out of Xia Yuebai's hand effortlessly.Faintly, she cast a glance at the cup, a cold light flashed from the bottom of her eyes, she smiled without saying a word.However, the hand she locked on Xia Yuebai's wrist showed no sign of letting go.
"Tusasita!" He whispered to her in panic, his black eyes gleaming.
"what?"
"Don't, don't drink... in the wine----"
Suddenly, five fingers gripped the slender wrist even tighter. The swift and violent force could almost break the trembling wrist bone instantly, and at the same time, it also effectively stopped Xia Yuebai's voice that was about to blurt out.Leaning over, the moment a pair of terrified black eyes rippled, Tusasita's smiling lips quietly approached her face, and her warm breath swept over Xia Yue with those brown eyes. Pale face, very hot.
She pressed against Xia Yuebai's ear, with her lips brushing against the hair beside her ear, and a few strands of black hair were blown gently like the wind.
"I know," she said.
"You!?" Shocked, all the blood faded from his pale as wax face in an instant.
The face close at hand, with a calm smile, and the golden-spotted pupils are like a bottomless abyss, blooming with a seductive fire-like light, hot and magnificent, treacherous.
Suddenly, I felt that Tusasita's eyes were really beautiful, a kind of beauty that contained countless unknowns but could not be seen by others, so it was so charming that it was unbearable.Suddenly, I feel that her eyes are really too strange, a kind of strangeness that I want to escape because I am afraid, but I can't get rid of it...
There was a moment of silence between the two.
For a moment, in Xia Yuebai's suddenly horrified eyes, it was reflected that Tusaxita poured a glass of wine down her throat... At this moment, she seemed to hear a scream from the bottom of her heart, just in a blink of an eye... Her tears also rushed out of her dry eyes.
The rolling tears blurred his vision, his cold breath choked on his trembling lips, and following Tusasita's sideways glance and a calm smile, Xia Yuebai almost cried out.
In just a moment, a trace of blood slowly flowed down from the corner of Tusasita's slightly raised mouth...
Accompanied by the severe cough that followed, a strong sweet smell sprayed out from the mouth, dark red blood fell on the snow-white robe and the table, and the sharply contrasting colors reflected the shocking color of death.
The crowd was in chaos, the air was in chaos, and everything in front of them was in chaos.
The frightened guests screamed and fled, the exquisite utensils fell and shattered, the room was terrified, and the ground was in chaos... The surrounding air was filled with the terrifying shadow brought by the sudden collapse of the sky and the earth.
"Seal the palace, hurry up! Immediately block all passages, no one can enter or leave the palace!" Hoktimos yelled in horror, and immediately reacted, he commanded the army to seal the entire palace. "Arrest all the maids and slaves in the palace!" Then he roared and ordered, and the guards outside the palace rushed in immediately, and surrounded the entire noisy palace.
Tusahita tilted her body and supported the edge of the table with one hand. The severe pain in her abdomen made her clenched her fists tightly. The pain that seemed to tear her internal organs into pieces with both hands made it more and more difficult for her to concentrate .
His face turned pale with fright, and at the moment Tusasita coughed up the first mouthful of black blood, Xia Yuebai's mind was already blank except for that horrible ball of color.When she came back to her senses, she stretched out her arms to wrap her crumbling body.Suddenly, she found that her body temperature was very low, and she could hardly feel any temperature.
"Tusasita, drink the water! Medical officer, find the medical officer!" He grabbed his glass of water and fed it to the corner of her mouth, while shouting uncontrollably at the chaotic crowd with blurred eyes.
Swallowing the clear water with difficulty, there was another almost suffocating cough, and more than half of the glass of water was spit out. "Yue... Bai..."
"Here I am, Tusasita...I am here."
His sight was dazzled by the dazzling lights above his head, the white light gradually expanded in his eyes, Xia Yuebai's tear-ridden face was gradually swallowed up by this white light, Tusasita opened his mouth with difficulty and weakness, intermittent breaths shattered on his lips In a line of blood gushing out.
"Stay by my... side to be... safe."
It is impossible to say clearly, what kind of feeling Xia Yuebai felt in his panic-filled heart when he heard Tusasita's words, there was a cold and dull voice slowly spreading in the surrounding noise, just like his own heart The sound of being crushed in an instant, a very soft sound, made her want to scream in pain in an instant.
Maybe it was the pain of seeing her helpless when she drank the poisoned wine; maybe it was the feeling that she was still worried about her own safety after being poisoned; It's because I don't know how to face the confused and confused emotions expressed by a woman.
The tall dome of the hall twisted upside down under Tusasita's half-opened eyes, and the moment she slowly fell into Xia Yuebai's arms, her fluffy brown eyes cast on the chaotic crowd, shaking figures, blurred faces, and a few familiar faces. His face was set off by the shattered light and shadow, making it difficult to distinguish reality from reality.
Shallowly, she raised her blood-stained lips, a charming and beautiful color of blood concealed her silent sneer.

Chapter 28
Tusaxita tightly held the hand on Xia Yuebai's wrist, and did not let go from the beginning to the end.
It wasn't until the tense medical officer arrived and forcibly separated the fingers of the unconscious Tusahita that the wrist she had been holding tightly was released. Looking down at her slightly red skin, Xia Yue was pale and numb. Sitting kneeling beside the couch, worriedly watching Tusasita whose lips were extremely pale due to a line of blood at the corner of his mouth.
The proud and arrogant queen of Egypt lay still, as quiet as sleeping.Those beautiful and sharp eyes were hidden under the closed eyelids, and the weak breathing rose and fell on the chest, and the brocade-like luxurious cold hair scattered on the pillow swayed in the wind, shaking away a silent black shadow.
In order not to disturb the treatment, the medical officer asked everyone to leave the room, although Xia Yuebai obediently followed everyone out of the room despite his extreme reluctance.
How did things become like this?This is a far cry from the plan I came up with overnight.
Up to now, Xia Yuebai still has a lot of questions that he can't figure out.
How did Tussita know that someone was going to poison her?
Why didn't she expose the assassination plot?
What Xia Yuebai couldn't understand the most was that since she knew the wine was poisonous, why did this crazy woman still drink it?
"Your Highness!" Someone gave a low voice, interrupting Xia Yuebai's deep thinking.She followed the sound and saw Alnis sitting in a soft rattan chair carried by monks, appearing in front of everyone with a pale face.
"How is the king now?" He asked, with an overly eager breath, which caused him to cough a few times.
Bahari bowed, and replied with a frown: "The medical officer is treating inside. Your Highness, you are not in good health. You should go back first. If there is a situation, I will send someone to report back immediately."
Shaking his head, with bloodless lips, he spoke in extreme exhaustion. "I'm going in, open the door."
The guard at the door opened the door, and Arnis got up from the chair. Two maids on the left and one on the right supported his bony body. He walked anxiously, staggered and fell forward...
A pair of arms stretched out in front of him, wrapped around his shoulders, and held him steady at the right time.
Looking up, anxious and frightened eyes were hit by a pair of melancholy and gentle eyes straight into the bottom of my heart, Arnis was startled, and then realized something, immediately pushed away Hawktimus' hand, and was supported by the maid without saying a word step into the room.
Hawktimus lowered his head, with a look of disappointment hidden in his eyes, and stood silently by the door.
Alnis stayed for a long time, about two hours.
When he got on the soft chair and left exhaustedly, the cloudy brow was covered with bleak moonlight, and the faint misty water color permeated the lowered eyes, and he disappeared silently under the anxious and blank gaze of the crowd.
"Lord Bahari, Lord Hawktimus, and Lord Unas, please come in." The maid stood by the half-open door and summoned softly and respectfully.
Walking forward, looking into the room through the half-open door, Xia Yuebai was like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and flustered.
Unas walked to the door and patted her on the shoulder. "Yuebai, don't worry, His Highness Alnis has come down, and the king will be fine."
With a wry smile, he nodded in doubt.
Seeing Xia Yuebai's pale face reflected in the moonlight, Unas sighed softly, turned and walked into the room.
