Chapter 26 Chapter 25 Goodbye in the Dark Night

Ivy opened her eyes, and his faint smile appeared in her sight. She froze for a moment, only to see him stretch out his hand to her, motioning her to follow quickly.With a sudden jump in her heart, she ran up without hesitation and held his arm tightly. Two people walking down the streets of Memphis.Golden sun, golden buildings, golden land.She carefully drew her name on the sand with a branch, "Remember, my name is 'Wei', and this is my name." Although he couldn't see his face, he could feel his faint smile and focused gaze.There was a burst of warmth in my heart, and the hands that hugged his arms couldn't help but exert more force.She smiled happily and continued: "It's great, it's by your side."

She pulled him and continued to walk aimlessly, surrounded by soft colors, as if there was no one else in her life except him. "You know, I had a terrible nightmare, dreaming that you were dead. And when you woke up, you had completely forgotten about me." "Hey, you won't forget me, will you?" She shook his arm coquettishly, waiting for his doting reply, "We agreed, right? You won't forget me, right?" But there was no response. So she held his hand more stubbornly and kept shaking it, but suddenly the temperature in her hand became extremely cold.When she raised her head, the golden color suddenly receded, and the surroundings turned into a strange crimson.And he was still standing there, with a huge hole in his chest, and dark blood was slowly gushing out.

She screamed, quickly supported him, and reached out to press the ruptured hole in his chest.However, his blood kept gushing out, covering her hands, staining her clean white jacket, and his blood was all over her arms, legs, and insteps. "Don't, don't..." She was crying, sobbing violently, and her chest seemed to be pressed hard by something. Her speech was broken and unable to form a sentence, while his eyes were sunken deeply, almost The full face cannot be seen.She cried out in fright, "I was wrong, I won't think about you anymore! I won't beg you to think about it again. Please live, live, okay?"

And the gushing of blood didn't stop, and the hot smell that spewed out seemed to be accusing her.Despair was like endless vines, tightly entangled her.She couldn't help struggling desperately, but her body seemed to be held down by something, unable to move.She tried her best, but she seemed to be entangled even tighter. She still couldn't get rid of the terrifying scene in front of her. She was very nervous, and only intermittent voices could be heard in her ears. "What's going on? Explain to me." "Yes, I'm sorry Your Majesty, this kind of Lower Egyptian wine is quite special, if it is combined with the daily calming herbs..."

"Find a way for me, or this brain is useless!" "Yes... Your Majesty..." The sound gradually faded away, and she seemed to fall into the endless darkness again.After an unknown period of time, consciousness seemed to suddenly return to the body.She opened her eyes suddenly, and saw his worried amber eyes close at hand.She supported her body vigorously, hugged him staggeringly, and pressed her face against his strong chest, desperately feeling the beating of his heart, as if to confirm that he was indeed safe and sound, and she was indeed just having a dream generally.

When she hugged him suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression softened again.He stroked her hair gently, and said in a low voice, "It must be a nightmare, everything will be fine." She was choking, coughing and panting, trying her best to distinguish between dreams and reality, "Alive...alive, right?" His hand stroking her hair stopped suddenly, and then resumed his previous movement, his low voice was steady and reassuring, "Well, I'm still alive." She felt very relieved and at ease, maintained the posture of hugging him, and then fell asleep faintly.

When I woke up again, it was dark again. Although I slept for a long time, my mind felt groggy.He was still sitting on the chair in the house, quietly reading the document in his hand.Feeling her sight, he went out and vaguely heard that he was asking someone to bring some food back.After finishing the order, he came in again, and then sat on the side of his bed, lovingly brushing away the hair sticking to her temples due to sweat with both hands, her pale cheeks were reflected in the amber eyes, " Do you feel better?" She looked at him and nodded. He continued: "I've been busy these two days, so I ignored you."

She didn't answer in time, just looked at him blankly, and then she suddenly looked around nervously. He continued: "Are you looking for this?" He handed the small box containing the water key to her hand, watched her uneasy open the lid, and then relaxed after confirming, and explained again, "You were hugging tightly just now, but you had a nightmare. I was afraid that you would accidentally hurt yourself, so I removed this relatively hard box." She looked at him for a while, then lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you." He smiled faintly, "Let's have something to eat first, I still have some things to deal with, and I will come back to accompany you later."

The guards came in and respectfully brought freshly baked bread, goat milk and grapes.Seeing her picking up the bread and preparing to put it in her mouth, he walked out with confidence.However, Ivy just put the food in her mouth, and after thinking for a while, she poured the goat's milk into the flowerpot beside the bed, tore a half of the bread, crumbled it, and scattered it in the corner of the room. At night, she lay quietly on the bed, breathing evenly with her nose rising and falling.He returned to the palace again, sighed softly, his slender fingers carefully caressed her golden hair, landed on her cheek, and slowly slid across her delicate jaw, resting on her slender neck.

Then, someone seemed to kneel outside the door. He paused, stopped touching her, helped her cover the quilt carefully, turned and walked out. "Your Majesty, I saw a man similar to the man in the picture in the south of Thebes, and I have killed him according to your order." Then came Pharaoh's voice, "Keep looking, don't worry about killing people by mistake, you don't have to report to me every day, just report once every seven days." "yes!" There was silence outside the tent for a while, and then there was the sound of his slightly tired footsteps gradually leaving.

On the bed, Ivy suddenly opened her eyes, her water-blue eyes were moist and bright in the dark night.He turned his head and looked out through the window.Different from the daytime, there were dozens of soldiers of the Seth Legion standing outside his bedroom.Standing in battle, guarding yourself... no, guarding yourself. Don't let her escape. For some reason, he never wanted to keep his promise, that he would not let her leave him. The polar ice suddenly appeared in her heart, and she was so cold that her lips and teeth couldn't stop trembling, and she couldn't even speak. That day, Ivy did not fall asleep again.On the second night, the maid brought fresh goat milk and bread as usual.Ivy poured the goat milk into the flower pot as usual, tore up the bread and sprinkled it out the window. Lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, thinking quickly and carefully. Moonlight spilled in through the window, but gradually dimmed. At first she thought it was a cloud, and rubbed her sleepy eyes, but when she paid attention, she heard a faint sound of breathing coming from the room.She stood up suddenly, and the man in the brown robe stood quietly beside her bed.The wide hat blocked his face, revealing only a sharp chin and skin that seemed to have no trace of blood.Hands with rings of different styles rest quietly on both sides of the body.She couldn't see his eyes, but she could clearly feel that he was looking at her without blinking through the thick coat. It turned out to be the Hittite envoy whom I saw in the front garden that day. He stood steadily, and the oppressive feeling that leaked from the back of his slender body made her grasp the quilt involuntarily, and her body shrank back subconsciously.And after only a second, she wanted to open her mouth and scream.Before he could make a sound, he had already come in front of her, his slender fingers gently pinching her throat, and she couldn't say a word. She glanced nervously at the Water Key placed beside her bed. At this time, the mysterious Hittite envoy suddenly said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in that broken stone." His voice was just like what he heard a few days ago, rough and hoarse, but it seemed to be rubbing against thick metal objects, with an unbearable inexplicable sharpness.But Ivy couldn't say a word, she could only open her eyes and look at him. "I'm just curious, since you have discovered the true face of Ramses, how long are you going to endure him?" Ivy frowned sharply. The envoy was silent for a while, and the silence that permeated the room seemed to mock her stupidity.Then, he said suddenly, his tone full of sarcasm, "It's not your fault, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would really find it hard to believe that he could do such a thing. The supreme glory, while relying on giving you a sedative to prevent you from escaping, and even secretly ordering someone to kill the person Cheng Yun helped you find. He obviously wants to remove all the support around you and completely control you. Now the anniversary of your enthronement It's over, and the envoys from all over the world have returned. Soon, everyone in West Asia will know about your wedding. With such careful planning, I don't know how he wants to use you next?" At that moment, Ivy looked at him with eyes full of doubt, anger, anxiety, fear, and that indelible trace of being overwhelmed after the truth was exposed.Days of deep sleep, hearing their conversations in dreams and his cold, almost cruel orders outside the house.All this is true.The truth was like a heavy stake, hammered into the bottom of her heart, and carved an ugly scar.The emissary seemed satisfied with her reaction, and he continued, "Nod if you believe me. I'll let you talk." Ivy looked at him and nodded. After he finished speaking, he just stretched out his hand and pushed Ivy gently.Ivy only felt her throat loosen, as if the voice had returned to her control. He continued: "The matter of Rama has nothing to do with our Hittites. As a result, he just put the blame on him so lightly. On the one hand, he destroyed the relationship between Hittites and Cushites, and on the other hand, he took the opportunity to suppress Hittites. His arrogance. Use everything, really like his style of doing things." He spoke softly, as if he knew Ramses well in his words, but his tone was familiar. Ivy paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you appeared at my window before?" Hittite's envoy didn't speak, and still couldn't see his face, but Ivy knew that he acquiesced. She went on to ask, "Do you want my life?" It took a long time before he spoke, and his ugly voice became even deeper and hoarse, "If that's the case, can you still stand here and talk to me?" This is not a sophistry, he can bypass many guarding guards several times, reaching her room is like picking something out of a pocket, at this time, if he wants her life, it is almost certain.But... Ivy continued to ask: "In this case, why did you break the rope of the oil lamp and put the Najaha Festival in my room?" He returned her almost without hesitation, "I didn't do it." Then he whispered self-deprecatingly, "People are always easily confused by what they see on the surface. In fact, the people who are always by your side may not Will protect you, you always don't understand." Just when he said these words, a strange thought flashed across Ivy's mind. That thought was absurd but like a blue and dazzling lightning in the middle of the night, which made it difficult for her to get rid of it from her mind.When thinking of this, the body has already started to move.She got off the bed and seemed to be going to the messenger's side, but suddenly she seemed to have tripped over something and was about to fall over.At that moment, he stretched out his slender hands very quickly, and held her tightly and carefully.The cold temperature came from the place where the fingers were in contact with the skin, and the colorful rings and shocking veins on his hands clearly fell into Ivy's eyes. Ivy held his arm, and with one hand, she suddenly lifted the robe covering his head. He looked at her, with short light brown hair, fair skin, dark walnut eyes with deep-set eye sockets and a straight nose.Years have praised his exquisite face, and left a faint mark on it with nostalgia.The man in front of him seemed to be thirty-seven or eighteen years old, exuding the aura of a mature man all over his body, but he was so cold that it made people feel frightened. She covered her mouth and took two steps back. There was silence in the room, and the moonlight was like water, pouring into the window and falling on them. He suddenly smiled, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a warm arc. "Satisfied?" Ivy was unable to respond to his question. After a long time, she stumbled out a fragile sentence: "It's you, how could you... where did you go?" The man was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head aside, and said disapprovingly: "I thought you were busy with the Wang family's marriage, why do you still have time to care about my whereabouts?" Ivy deliberately ignored his sarcasm and said seriously: "I've been trying to find you, although it hasn't been going very well. I'm worried that something happened to you." He raised his eyes, but his sight fell into the cold walnut color. "Don't remember?" There was a bit of distrust in his voice, "With my ability, you don't need to worry about me at all." Ivy nodded awkwardly, "That's right, sorry." He snorted softly, approached her slowly, took her hand, bowed, and lightly placed a polite kiss on the back of her hand.When he raised his head, his usual gentle smile and politeness returned to his face, "Miss Ivy Modiet, it's really hard for me to compare your downcast appearance with your independence and pride in the future. Connected together. I feel sorry for you when you wait for Pharaoh's favor from time to time in anxiety and speculation." She raised her head suddenly and stretched out her hand to hit him, but he didn't intend to hide, his face still had a humble smile, but there was endless darkness in his deep walnut-colored eyes.But her hand stopped in the air, and it took a lot of effort to slowly retract it.She took a deep breath and kept calm, "Dong, no matter how many things you have hidden from me before, I believe you have your own reasons. You have helped me, no matter what happens, I will trust you until you betray me. " Dark walnut eyes flashed, then closed slowly.He staggered back two steps and stroked his forehead.The body is so fragile, but the words are stubborn and cold, "Isn't it too late to say this now?" Ivy looked at him worriedly, and couldn't help but want to step forward and comfort him.But he swung his arm violently, and opened her outstretched hand abruptly.Ai Wei was rushed by his strength, subconsciously took a step back, her blue eyes faced the moonlight, and she was completely puzzled. He also looked back at her in a daze, as if he couldn't believe what he had done.Then he looked at his hands, then lowered his head in distress, and buried his face in his hands.It doesn't look like winter at all.Ivy couldn't help being very worried, and walked forward with the uneasiness in her heart suppressed.Dong suddenly said, "Things shouldn't be like this, I should..." He spoke angrily, his shoulders covered by the large robe trembling slightly in the moonlight.Then suddenly, he suddenly walked towards Ivy, clasped Ivy's shoulders with both hands, and roughly pushed her down on the hard ground.His fair face was so close to her, his dark walnut-colored eyes sunken so deep in their sockets that his breath seemed so close at hand. Ivy looked at him calmly, without any hesitation in her eyes, as if she was not afraid that he would do anything to hurt her at all.And all this made him even more irritable. Suddenly, his hand slid towards her slender neck, and his bony fingers pressed a little harder, just like this, embedded in her white skin.He watched her eyes widen suddenly, and he was full of puzzlement when he watched her trust all the time. Blood flowed through the neck, beating faintly.Underneath the thin skin is a fragile texture.She is such a life that can be seen everywhere and is vulnerable to a single blow. If the fingers were a little harder, her neck would break and she would stop breathing without pain. Or if it goes on like this, she will slowly suffocate to death. If you don't want to be so troublesome, just reach out and insert your hand into her body, and her heartbeat will stop immediately. Just close your eyes. However, the picture that vaguely emerged in my mind was still lingering.No matter how deep the hatred is, it can't erase the past with her.Her smile, her kindness, her bravery.Why is it her?The entangled past is like a spider web entrenched in the heart.For a long time, he asked himself countless questions. Until now, did he find the answer. Ivy's hand around her neck suddenly loosened.Subconsciously, she turned sideways, curled up, and breathed hard.Dong stood aside, looking at her as if he didn't know what he was doing.Then he suddenly turned away and said in a low voice: "You'd better go, it's not safe to stay by his side." Ivy pressed her neck lightly, but did not respond. He raised his eyes, "You know, I once got the title of Colt, the highest-ranked killer in the Egyptian royal family." "The highest level killer?" "When Ramses placed me by your side, it wasn't to take care of you, Princess Ivy." He continued, "It was to contain you, so that he could kill you at any time when necessary. Ramses' plan Here, failure is not allowed." The figure of the guard at the gate swayed past the window regularly, and the moonlight cast a large dark shadow. Faintly, I saw Dong's smile that he couldn't tell whether it was pain or relief. Just like that, looking at each other.Faint but sharp doubts were tearing up in his indifferent eyes. Ivy finally spoke, "What happened to you?"
