Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 10: Conspiracy
The door of my room was pushed open before dawn the next day, and I was still in a light sleep, only feeling in a daze that someone dragged me from the bed . Such a strong hand and such a rude way made me sober up a lot. Who else is there besides Ramses!
"Rameses, don't go too far." I shook off his hand vigorously and rubbed my sleepy eyes.
There was a smile in the corner of his mouth, and he didn't speak. He threw a cloak on me, took my hand and dragged it out.
"Hey, I'm welcome if you don't stop."
"Don't make trouble, I will take you out of the palace."
"Leaving the palace?"
"Yes."
"But, but I haven't washed my face yet!"
"It's okay, I don't care."
"But I care, ah!! Bastard, let go!"
"If you talk again, I will kiss you!"
“…”
In the end, I was extremely depressed and dragged to the stable by him, and I was picked up by him while yawning.
His arms were tightly around me, I heard his strong heartbeat again, and I couldn't help turning my head to look at him. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his deep eyes shone with joy. When I looked at him, he seemed to have noticed my gaze, smiled slightly, and quickly lowered his head to kiss my hairline one time. As soon as my face became hot, I immediately turned my head away, never daring to look at him again.
After about ten minutes, the horse stopped.
"It's here." His warm breath was on my neck.
It was only then that I saw everything in front of me clearly. A round of rising sun was slowly rising from the sky. In an instant, it radiated a vast light, reflecting on the long and winding Nile River, as if it had sprinkled bright gold all over the sky. The turquoise water of the Nile is sparkling, making people want to reach out and touch it.
People's singing faintly came from the river bank full of papyrus:
The Nile, my mother,
Bring me the prosperous land of Egypt,
Bring me infinite vitality to the territory.
I am here to praise you, I am here to pray for you,
Let me Egypt, the prosperity will last forever...
I listened carefully for a while, got off the horse and ran to the Nile River, reached out to scoop up a handful of water, the river water was clear and transparent, shining brightly in the sun. Naturally, I lowered my head and took a sip. The cold river water had a faint earthy smell.
"Look, Ramses, does it look like gold?" I picked up another handful of water and held it up in the sun for him to see.
Looking up, Ramses bathed in the sun seemed to be emitting dazzling light all over his body, and I could hardly keep my eyes open.
He came to my side, held my hand, bent down, and drank water directly from my hand.
"Ramesses?" I whispered, his warm lips tickled my palm. I wanted to withdraw my hand, but he held it tighter.
"Do you know, Yin, those who drink the water of the Nile, no matter how far they leave Egypt, will return to Egypt again." He smiled brightly, "However, I will not let you leave Egypt."
My good mood disappeared all of a sudden, and I just felt bored and panicked.
One day in the future, will I—go back to Egypt?
In my uneasiness, the days passed quickly, and it was the eve of the wedding in a blink of an eye.
I am really confused now, I know clearly that I will not marry him, but my task has not been completed, what should I do? It can no longer be delayed.
While I was thinking wildly, a maid suddenly opened the door and entered. I recognized her, she was Queen Nefertari's personal maid. She looked flustered and hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong?" I was a little confused, if there was anything wrong with the queen, shouldn't Que Ling report it immediately?
"Miss Yin, the queen, the queen is gone." She whispered.
"What?" I frowned, "Impossible, did you look for it?"
"It's true, I've searched for it. By the way, I seem to have heard the queen say that she is going to some temple to pray for God's blessing for the king's wedding. Could it be..."
Did Nefertari go to the temple? Then... No way... My mind was agitated, and I didn't think much about it, and said: "You stay here first, I will go to the temple right now."
I rode my horse and galloped along the way, but one doubt after another floated up in my heart. Why is my sparrow spirit silent? Why did Nefertari's maid tell me that she should understand that Nefertari must not like me very much. And what she said seemed to have heard the queen's words, didn't she know the whereabouts of the queen? Why bother?
Although I'm full of suspicion, no matter what, just in case, it's safer for me to go and see it with my own eyes, and forgive her for not being able to play tricks.
I arrived at the temple in a short time, and I got off the horse and walked into the temple. The entire temple seemed to be very quiet, there was no sound at all. I slowly walked deep, until I came to the front of the statue of Amon. I looked around, and there was neither a queen nor Priest Fekti.
I stood quietly for a while, and began to call out my sparrow spirit, but there was no movement. An ominous premonition passed through my heart, could it be that the sparrow spirit was discovered?
Just as I was about to try it for the second time, a cold voice came from behind: "The little birds you placed beside me and Nefertari, I have already dealt with them."
I was startled, and when I turned around, it was indeed Priest Fekti.
He took a few steps in my direction, and in the dim light I vaguely saw a strange expression on his face.
"Priest Fekti, where's the queen?" I asked in the calmest tone possible.
"Nefetari, she will come later." An elusive look flashed in his eyes.
The atmosphere here is a bit strange. Since Nefertari is not here, I have no point in staying any longer. Wait, why is Feketi not surprised to see me at all, as if he knew I would come, could it be...
"In this case, I'll go first." It's better to leave here. I was just about to leave, when I suddenly saw Fekti standing in front of me, quickly reaching out and hugging me tightly.
"Fekti, what are you doing!" I asked in surprise.
He didn't speak, but his expression was even weirder. He lowered his head and whispered in my ear, "For her, I don't even have to die."
Before I fully understood the meaning of this sentence, over his shoulder, I saw a man with a horsewhip and a livid face. He had long black hair and a handsome face, but the anger in his eyes seemed to be gushing out. It was a pair of burning eyes.
Rameses, why is he here?
I think, I kind of understand what Fekti means.
"Crack!" A horsewhip hit Fekti's body heavily.
"Let her go!" Ramses' voice was out of control, his hands trembled, and he whipped hard again.
"Wang, please forgive me, but Yin and I have liked each other a long time ago, even if you are the king, you shouldn't force her to marry you!" Fekti's words made me unable to react at all. I just looked into his eyes, and I couldn't see a trace of fear in his eyes.
"Tomorrow she will become your princess, we really shouldn't have a tryst at this time, but..."
"Shut up!" Ramses' face turned bluer and greener, as if he was reaching his limit.
Every word Fekti said seems to want to anger Ramses. I understand that he wants to drag me into the water and use this trick to frame me. He set a trap with his own life and Nefertari, a trap that was not very clever but effective.
"Come on, pull Fekti out to me, tie him to the desert, sun him alive, and put all my falcons there!" Ramses roared angrily.
"Don't!" I blurted out, how could this be? How could Fekti have this tragic result because of me? Could it be that my presence changed something? He must not be allowed to die like this. My mission cannot fail.
As soon as the word "don't" came out of his mouth, Ramses' expression was no longer as ugly as usual. He rushed over with a stride, pinched my wrist and said: "You really care about him, don't you really like him?"
"Rameses, calm down!" I said loudly, and I glanced at Fekti inadvertently, and there seemed to be a strange smile on his face.
"Wang, Wang, you must not get angry." A beautiful woman ran in from the door panting, "Wang, you are so fast, I can't even keep up with your speed."
My heart moved slightly, and it really was the game set up by Nefertari and Fekti.
"Queen, the priest will be sunburned to death, no, he will be preyed on by falcons, it's terrifying." I raised my eyebrows lightly, wanting to see her reaction. Her face changed instantly, she raised her head and quickly met Fekti's gaze, an inexplicable look seemed to flash in her eyes, and she quickly looked at Ramses again.
I saw her shoulders trembling slightly, and she didn't seem so heartless, maybe she thought he would die, but she didn't expect such a cruel way of death.
The more I plead now, the more I will anger Ramses. It is best for others to say the plea. Looking at the relationship between Nefertari and Fekti, it seems that it is not that simple. If Fekti is to be saved, then Nefertari is the only breakthrough.
If not, just bet once.
"Rameses, I don't like Fekti. On the contrary, I have a better suggestion. In our country, there are many ways to deal with sinners. Ah, there is a kind called Lingchi, which is to cut people's bodies Thousands of knives were used until he died, and there were still five horses to quarter his body, just hearing this name is terrifying.”
Rameses looked at me in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe that the words came out of my mouth, he was both surprised and puzzled.
And Nefertari's face turned blue long ago, she couldn't help but look up at Fekti, a look of fear flashed in her eyes. Fekti turned his head to one side and looked into the distance.
"That's not enough, he can't get eternal life." I added.
"My lord, although Priest Fekti is at fault, he shouldn't be treated so cruelly." Nefertari finally couldn't help but say something.
"These are not very cruel. Of course, the premise is that if he really made a mistake." I looked at Nefertari, "Queen, are you right?"
Nefetari stared straight at me. After a while, he glanced at Fketty again, and there was a trace of gentleness in his eyes. When she looked at me again, there was helplessness in her eyes.
"Wang, maybe Priest Fekti was confused for a while." Although her voice was soft, it was undoubtedly the most exciting words to me. Ramses still had a cold face, and said: "No matter what, he did such a rude behavior after all, I can't spare him."
"You can't blame him." I glanced at Fekti and said, "Because he was under the spell of witchcraft, that's why he acted like that."
"Witchcraft?" Ramses asked in surprise.
"That's right, otherwise how would he dare to act like this to me and say crazy things about me and him liking each other." I said calmly, in order to save him, I could only tell a lie.
Fekti also looked at me in disbelief, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Nefertari's eyes. Stop talking, her eyes said it.
Fekti's expression kept changing, and there were tears in his eyes staring at Nefertari. His joy is probably because of Nefertari's intolerance.
Rameses's face has eased, he glanced at Fekti and said: "Fecti, although you lost your mind because of witchcraft, but you have lost your priest so easily because of witchcraft qualifications, stay away from my Egypt from today, and never come back.”
Fekti said nothing, but gave Nefertari a very quick look.
"Fekti, don't be obsessed anymore. Some people, some things, if you miss them, you miss them. Just keep it in your heart. Maybe one day when you think about it again, you will just laugh it off." I whispered.
He gave me a complicated look, and then walked slowly outside the hall.
"Queen, go back too." Ramses said suddenly, but his eyes were fixed on me.
I watched Nefertari's back disappear outside the temple, and suddenly felt that she was not as cruel as I imagined. If it weren't for her a little bit of patience today, I'm afraid things would be much more difficult. In the years to come, Ramses will definitely love her more and more. Thinking of this, my heart starts to feel bored again.
"Yin, I almost blamed you just now." His eyes were as pure as the water of the Nile.
"The king of upper and lower Egypt, the son of the sun **** Amon, will he make mistakes in judgment?" I glanced at him sideways. He laughed and said: "People who fall in love will lose their minds sometimes, even the Son of God is no exception."
Love, my heart skipped a beat when I heard these words.
"Anyway, it's impossible for me to like Priest Fekti." I said in a low voice, quickly glanced at Ramses with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said the second half of the sentence hesitantly, "Because, Because I have no interest in bald heads."
Ramses was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter. He took a step forward and hugged me tightly, "My princess, you are so cute!" I could feel the slight vibration of his body from laughing, and the smell of palm leaves mixed with sunlight came from From his body, this chest is really nostalgic...
"Tomorrow, after tomorrow, you will be the wife of my Ramses." His voice suddenly became low, revealing a hint of excitement.
My heart sank again.
My mission has been completed, then, tonight——I should leave here...
It's time to say goodbye, Egypt, my favorite - Egypt.
