Chapter 37 Chapter Thirty-Six

Sometimes, it is very resistant to waking up, because when you wake up, you will face the reality that you can't breathe. There were noisy voices beside her ears, and a cold hand was holding herself tightly all the time.Then I don't know who said what, the hand let go of me, so I murmured subconsciously, "Don't go..." I have something to say. But she wasn't sure if her voice had come out, her throat felt hoarse and sore, her words were as weak as her own breathing, and seemed to melt into the infinitely expanding silence. After an unknown amount of time, finally, that cold hand held her again.Then subconsciously, she squeezed back tightly.

Maybe everything is a dream.Ramses remembered that the thing in another time and space was a dream, the thing that she lost their child was a dream, and the thing that loyal Duo wanted to kill her was also a dream.As soon as she opened her eyes, she would find that she was still standing in the dim orange lighted room of Baron Tiya's house. Dong smiled quietly, her chestnut eyes sunk deeply into his pale skin, and said: " Although I found you, you can never go back to that era." Can't tell, how, the pain can be less. After a long time, the eyelids finally felt the sunlight, and Ivy slowly opened her eyes.He didn't see the dim lights in the dark room of Baron Tia's house or the white Victorian curtains in his own room.Ancient coats of arms are drawn on the ceiling, and there is a hard feeling from the back.

Sure enough, everything was not a dream. Turning his head to the side, he realized that his fingers were tightly clasping that hand.Although he was unconscious all the time, the slender fingers had such great power that they were tightly embedded into the back of another person's hand, leaving a deep red mark. The slightly haggard Ramses sat quietly beside her, holding her hand tightly, his eyes were blood red, and his chin was covered with messy stubble. Looking up again, the room was darkly crowded with people, imperial doctors, waiters, and guards. It's just that they were all so quiet that she hardly felt their presence at all.

The touch in his hands was hot and firm, but not like the one who rescued her from the flames in the first place.Maybe it was just waking up from a coma, and her mind was very dull, or maybe she just instinctively wanted to escape the fact that it happened and made her unacceptably painful.As soon as she opened her mouth, she actually asked: "Just now, was Dong here?" As soon as the voice fell, the temperature in the room seemed to drop to freezing point. Her voice was still a little hoarse, and when she said this, Ramses' eyes darkened, and then he motioned to Anafeti, who had red eyes beside him, to bring water to her.Anafetti walked over in a hurry and almost knocked over the water glass on the ground.

"Dong Colt, who assassinated the Pharaoh, treasoned the country and sneaked into the palace many times, should be sentenced to death." The one who spoke was Li Tah, who stood quietly by the side.His obsidian-like eyes no longer had the usual gentle light, but there was indeed a bit of sharp killing intent inside. "Dong, assassinate Pharaoh?" Ivy repeated. Although she had a premonition, she was still reluctant to be confirmed again. Before she left Egypt for Assyria, it was Dong who stabbed Ramesses.A spark jumped through her mind, and she finally understood. Dong's enemy is Pharaoh, and the benefactor he mentioned is her?

It was the child saved by the silver-haired princess at the gate of the Karnak Temple a year ago.Because Dong is a replica of time and space, he can't help him.He returned from the future to the present, lurking beside the pharaoh.In order to find an opportunity to assassinate Pharaoh, but also to find out who saved him that day. I remembered what Tiya said in my mind, "He is a cruel person who can take everything from you in order to achieve his own goals." Think of Dong's future name, Baron Tia. Think of Dong looking at her complex and confused eyes. He had always given himself so many clues, but only now did the truth come to light.

Dong hurt the man she loved the most, but Dong also saved herself again and again. Her mind was in chaos, she suddenly wanted to say a lot to Dong, she couldn't help but raised her head anxiously, "Then where is Dong?" There was silence all around, and Ramses still held her hand, and said flatly, "Is Dong the Hebrew you were looking for before?" Not knowing why he asked such a question, she nodded honestly, and then explained: "I didn't know he would hurt you. Have you arrested him yet? Can I have a few words with him?" He paused, then sighed slightly, and said, "Really?"

Li Tah added from the side: "His Royal Highness Ivy. Dong Colt saved your life from the sea of ​​fire, so His Majesty let him go. The agreement is that he will never return to Egypt." His voice He became indifferent, "If we see him again, even if we use the entire Egyptian army, we will definitely kill him, no matter what." Is it because he betrayed Egypt and hurt Pharaoh again?Ivy was taken aback, not knowing what to say.At this moment, Ramses raised his hand to stop Retah from continuing.He indifferently turned around and gave some instructions to the doctors, and then said to Li Tahe: "Princess Ivy is my younger sister. This matter will be handled as a scandal of the royal family, and it will be kept strictly confidential, and no rumors are allowed."

Reitah bowed and retreated with several priests and courtiers. The imperial doctor came forward and fed Ivy some inexplicable herbs.She drank it all down, and they all quit.Anafetti was the last to leave the house, her eyes were full of worry and uneasiness, but she had to go out under the order of the Pharaoh. Ramses stood still about one meter away from her bed, and after a long silence, he walked over and sat down on the side of her bed. "I don't understand you." These were the first words he uttered.The tiredness in the amber eyes reflected her weakness.He gently pulled her hair, the fragile and soft hair shone faintly with golden light in the dim light.He said in a low voice, "If what we have experienced is true, I don't understand why you can treat me like this and everything we have experienced."

She looked at him quietly, her water-blue eyes reflected his upright figure that had never changed, but her eyes were already red. There was another long silence, and he twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, "From the beginning, you used me to find Dong, and then you reached an agreement with the prince of Assyria to find the key of the secret treasure. It doesn't matter. I feel that even if you have any past with Yali, I don't care, as long as you are by my side. But even though we have experienced so much together, you still don't want to marry me." He paused for a long time, "I think , the worst thing is nothing more than that. I force you to stay by my side, but I keep a little bit of luck in my heart. If you really like me, you will not be so cruel that you don’t even want our children. During this time, I can think about it Way to dispel all your worries." He took a deep breath, as if he hadn't said so many words for a long time, he rubbed his forehead wearily.

"I really underestimated you." He wiped the corners of Ivy's already wet eyes, "I want to divorce Nefertari and abolish Kamelotta, so many people in the palace hate you, every day I Let them examine your food carefully, and two of the people who tested the poison have already died. I know that Lian is Duo's daughter, so I take extra precautions against her and don't allow her to enter the palace at will. If you don't discuss it with me Just let her come to see you without authorization, it is impossible for her to have this opportunity to kill you like this." He moved his hand wiping the corner of her eyes, "You woke up after being in a coma for three days, I was so worried about you. But when you woke up, you didn't even ask about your own children, but just focused on finding the person who once wanted to assassinate my people." He was silent for a long time, but did not hear her answer.His voice finally became cold, "Wei, I really don't understand, but I can't indulge you like this anymore." His eyes became indifferent, and her haggard look was reflected in the expressionless eyes, "You don't want to be my wife, you don't care about our children, so if you stay by my side, you will only hurt yourself. Why don't you Just continue to be my sister. I will take care of you and let you get everything you want. If so, you will be happy." He said a lot in one breath, and when his words were over, she knew that he would never talk to her like this again.He has always been a man of his word. The words he said were like sharp knives, thrown into her chest, and every syllable twisted her bloody.For some reason, she wasn't going to defend herself, she wasn't going to tell him how much she dreaded seeing him, seeing the disappointment in his eyes, thinking of her losing their baby. She didn't want to repeat how she had worked so hard to come to him, why she loved him, and how much she loved him. Those words, when spoken out, seem to become very frivolous and false.Far inferior, just sinking down like this, sinking into the deepest place in my heart.This time, she was just trying to see if she could hide from history and leave one of their children behind.Obviously, it's useless.Keep trying, she will only hurt herself, or him again! Behold, Dow is dead... So forget it, as long as she doesn't affect this time and space, she is well hidden in the torrent of history.By his side, she realized her love. She stayed here like this, and waited until the major disagreement three years later, confronting Yari, who had already obtained all her memories, to protect the life of the young pharaoh. Ramses seemed to be waiting for her to say something.But her lips were pale and she didn't utter a word.After a long time, she just said slowly: "Three years later, there will be a major decisive battle with Hittite. Before that, we must prepare for the battle with all our strength." He froze for a while, obviously this was not what he expected to hear.So he didn't wait any longer, and the golden sandals fell on the lapis lazuli floor, making a lonely rattling sound. He pushed open the palace gate, and the courtiers outside waited for him silently. He never looked back and walked out of the room where she was. In the blurred scene, his back was so clear, like a shadow shining with golden light, it was deeply imprinted in her sight. The next day, the first prophet of the priesthood stated that Pharaoh had never considered making Princess Ivy a concubine. She was just Pharaoh's beloved sister, and she was not going to be made queen as rumored in the palace before.However, the divorce procedure between Pharaoh and Queen Nefertari is still in progress. The fact that Queen Nefertari had an affair with Nolan, a former clerk and a nobleman of Thebes, has been submitted to the court. It has never been a secret among high-ranking nobles.Therefore, although the "rumors" of the re-establishment were temporarily put on hold, the divorce procedure was to be further carried out, and Queen Nefertari also faced severe punishment that might be brought about by the crime of "disloyalty". Immediately afterwards, the pharaoh ordered that the economic model for the next three years should be transformed into a development method that focuses on strengthening national defense and the military.Egypt must aggressively consolidate and expand its relations with neighboring countries, and be ready for Hittite counterattacks after the armistice agreement ends.At the same time, Dong was listed as the most wanted person in the country with the highest reward. Once Dong was found in Egypt, he could be executed immediately.The amount of the reward can buy a small city.The exclusion and persecution of the Hebrews during the period of Ramses II officially began. Subsequently, Thana married fifteen women into the harem.Half of them are from neighboring countries with important diplomatic relations, and half are from important ministers in the DPRK and China. A year later, he married five new concubines. The Abu Simbel Temple was erected, and the craftsmen engraved the image of Queen Nefertari on the calf of the emperor of the Great Temple according to the pharaoh's instructions.At that time, their divorce proceedings were in full swing, and things were a bit ironic. As time passed, people gradually forgot the rumors that the Pharaoh was desperately infatuated with his sister.People from the surrounding countries kept sending congratulatory gifts, wanting the pharaoh to marry his precious princess Ivy to their country, among them was the prince Salma Nassar Sayer who had just been established as the heir of Assyria. Most frequently requested.According to rumors, even Yali once wrote a letter. If the pharaoh gave Ivy to Hittite, they would be willing to sign an armistice agreement and even have good relations with Egypt forever. However, no results. People say that the sea has changed. She thought that if the memory of that period of time and space came back, no matter what, they would be the most important people in each other's lives, like trees growing side by side, with their complicated roots intertwined, no matter whether they are willing or not, no matter whether it is possible or not, they will never be separated .But once surrendered to history, history will ruthlessly devour everything that should not exist. Perhaps, including the already illusory love. I still see him often, when I attend important ceremonies of the royal family, when I am in a daze at the lotus pond behind the palace, and when I look at the Nile River at the palace gate.He either hurriedly led the courtiers past, or held the chess piece in his hand and thought deeply, or looked at the courtiers lightly, and ordered something. If the heart has been stabbed a lot, maybe it won't feel any more. It was like seeing another woman run out of his palace within a few days of having skin-to-skin contact with him. At that time, if there was still pain, then after he married the seventeenth concubine, he never felt it anymore. No, it should be said that I am still in abnormal pain, but I have learned not to feel it.It's like tearing off your scalp and pulling your soul out of your body. Looking at yourself indifferently from the perspective of a third party, looking at your frustration and pain indifferently, it's like reading a history book that has nothing to do with you . Ramses II, the greatest pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty during the New Dynasty of Ancient Egypt.During his 92-year lifespan and more than 60 years of rule, Zenna married more than 100 concubines, including Queen Nefertari, who appeared repeatedly in various temples, and his own sister. , daughters of nobles and princesses of all countries.Among his hundreds of children, some even had a shorter lifespan than him... For a man in the royal age, the number of concubines can reflect his ambition.Women helped him acquire territories, consolidate his power, and reproduce.Ramses II, so famous. Reminding myself time and time again that what I am experiencing now is nothing but the established history pointing to the only future. Three years passed extremely slowly, but it seemed to be over in a blink of an eye. She continued to study gem identification and processing.Whatever gem she wanted, he had a way of getting it brought to her.Although she couldn't go out of the palace at will, but because of her excellent craftsmanship, her works quickly gained a lot of fame among the Egyptian aristocrats.Everyone is proud to wear a pair of Princess Ivy's gemstone jewelry, and knockoffs have unknowingly become popular.Everyone gradually forgot about the brilliant Komitor three years ago, and what was talked about instead was the legendary Princess Ivy who had faded out of the political arena. And in the three years, the only intersection with him was the day when he married an unknown number of concubines. The young foreign princess heard about the name of Princess Ivy, and before they got married, they enthusiastically asked her to make exquisite jewelry for their wedding. Because of the extreme pain in her heart, she almost doubted whether she could survive those days.So he locked himself in the small workshop he built for her in the palace, and buried himself in carving gems and jewelry.She didn't leave the workshop for seven consecutive days, and on the eighth day, after countless failures, she finally made a beautiful Horus amulet.She asked Anafertti to wrap it up and gave it to the little princess. But within a moment of sending it out, I felt that I was hypocritical, so I regretted it very much. Although history is finally back on track, she is just watching as his sister.But she didn't want him to marry someone else at all, and maybe have a child later.Just thinking about it makes it hard to breathe, let alone sending a congratulatory gift as a "sister". And this incident seemed to anger him, he came to her room himself, and said with a bad face: "Don't do such a thing again in the future." Although I was prepared in my heart, I couldn't help but quarrel with him.It is extraordinarily good-faced when quarreling, and the words chosen become even more hypocritical, "My brother's concubine speaks in person. According to the etiquette of our country, I always have to give something." He was silent for a while, his face was so horrifying that he wanted to swallow her, and then he said with a sneer: "It's ridiculous, don't take out such a crudely made amulet and throw it at the royal family." He dropped this sentence, There was no turning back. Later, he never had the chance to see the young princess again.As for the amulet, he has never seen it again, and he probably asked someone to throw it out long ago. In the next two years, although the craftsmanship became more and more exquisite and the things she made became more and more beautiful, she never gave him any more. Time flies.
