A few more days passed in Margo's uneasiness. But the whereabouts of that thing is still unclear. While there was no one around, she had searched almost the entire temple, but she still couldn't find such a thing. Now, more than ever, she hopes to find that thing earlier, because in this way, she can go back to Babylon, then... there is no need to see Ramses marry the queen named Nefertari with her own eyes.
When she woke up this morning, she was surprised to find that the sky was covered with dark clouds, gloomy as if it was about to be overwhelmed. Such weather is rare in sunny Memphis.
She changed her clothes as usual and went to work in the temple. When she was walking through the garden, she saw Asher hurrying to Ramses' bedroom. She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. In the past few days, she often saw Asher coming to see Ramses, as if discussing something important. I don't know if it has something to do with the new queen, or the person behind the scenes... Forget it, it's none of her business anyway.
When we arrived at the temple, it began to rain suddenly.
As soon as Margot stepped into the temple, she suddenly felt something was wrong. The temple was very quiet today, and there was no one there, even Priest Fekti was missing.
Just as she was looking around, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind her. Before she could turn her head, she felt someone hit the back of her head, her eyes suddenly went dark, and she immediately lost consciousness.
After an unknown amount of time, Margot opened her eyes in a burst of dizziness, and couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the scene in front of her.
Not far from her, several people were tied up and thrown there. It looked as if they were still in a coma. When she took a closer look, she was even more shocked. These people turned out to be Priest Fekti and two followers! After being shocked, she tried her best to calm herself down, and looked around carefully. This place is dark, only the oil lamp on the wall emits a faint yellow light. There seems to be nothing else in the huge place except for a statue of a goddess.
This place looks like a - dark room.
"Are you awake?" With the sound of something being lifted above the head, a ray of light leaked in, and a familiar voice came from there. Normally, this voice is gentle and friendly, but now it seems a little more indifferent.
"Prince Turner? Why..." She raised her head and looked at the half-lit face in astonishment, "Could it be—you just now? Why?"
"Don't ask anything. You just need to know that when someone comes later, you have to stay here obediently and don't make any fearless resistance, and I promise I won't hurt you." He paused, and the corner of his mouth raised a little Expected smile, "They're here."
"Wait a minute, can I know where this is?" Although she didn't know who he was talking about, and she didn't know why he did this, but now she wanted to be sure where she was.
"Isn't this the place where you work every day?" He said, putting down the board in his hand, and isolated her in this claustrophobic space again.
Where do you work every day? It turns out that this is the temple! Margot's head was like a kitten's mess of thread, messy and full of questions. Why is there such a dark room in the temple, why did Prince Turner do this... However, when the people who came in later, these questions were quickly answered.
"Prince Turner, you can't escape. We have found out that you are the behind-the-scenes commander of the adulterous Hittite. The evidence is solid, and it is useless for you to deny it."
Hearing Asher's voice, Margot was surprised, but when she heard what he said clearly, the feeling was beyond shock.
Prince Turner turned out to be...
"Oh?" Prince Turner, who was the person involved, was not panicked at all.
"That's not all. You were the one who blinded me back then, my good brother."
Mag's body trembled, the voice...
How could Ramses be here? Also, Prince Turner was the one who poisoned Ramses? how so? How could such a gentle person do such a thing
"Since you all know, I don't need to hide it." Prince Turner snorted, "Yes, I did all of this. I am the eldest son of my father, but why did my father only love you since he was a child! Even if I made you blind, my father never disqualified you as an heir! I hate you, Ramses, I always have hated you! I never thought that your eyes would be dewormed by that only know The woman who cures toothache is cured! I didn’t expect you to ascend to the throne so quickly! Why are you! Ramses, what am I inferior to you! Ramses, now you will kill me for finding Get excited about your excuse!"
"I'm not you, brother." Ramses' voice was a little low, "I won't kill you because of this. But no matter who you are, you have to be responsible for doing something wrong, so you have to accept that you belong to Your punishment."
"Punishment?" Turner sneered, but suddenly fell silent.
Margot leaned sideways, listening intently to what they were saying, and suddenly heard no movement above, and when she was wondering, she suddenly found that the cover above her head had been moved again, just as the light leaked in. In an instant, she only saw a black shadow enveloping her, and then her body suddenly lost its center of gravity, and she was carried out of the dark room like this.
Before she could fully react, a cold bronze dagger was quickly placed around her neck.
"Margo!" Ramses was obviously taken aback, and then with an angry face, he drew his sword and pointed at Turner and said sharply, "Let her go immediately, or I won't let you go!"
Turner smiled softly as expected: "My good brother, I know this woman is very important to you. To be honest, I have also been tempted by her, but it is a pity that she failed my good intentions." .But, fortunately, I thought of using her against you. It seems to work."
"What exactly do you want?" Ramses stared at him with a livid face, his knuckles holding the sword turned white.
"Prince Turner, if you have something to say, please speak up. If you have any request, you can tell the king." Asher said calmly.
Turner smiled again: "My request is actually very simple, Ramses, are you willing to trade your throne for this woman?"
After he finished speaking, Ramses didn't look shocked, but raised his eyebrows complicatedly, and slowly retracted his sword instead. Asher glanced at Ramses, but there was a barely visible smile on the corner of his mouth. There seemed to be a deathly silence all around.
"What? Or I still underestimated this woman..." Turner exerted a little force on his hand, and the blade drew a faint bloodstain on Margot's neck.
"Brother, you are really stupid. Although I like her, I am the king of Upper and Lower Egypt, the son of the sun god. How could I give up the throne for a woman." Ramses suddenly laughed, and turned his head to Asher and said "My prime minister, do you think this is ridiculous?"
Marge only felt a slight pain in her neck. Ramses' words were not wrong at all. Of course, he couldn't give up his noble status for her, which was perfectly normal. But, why, a certain corner of my heart is still so painful? The pain felt as if it was about to burst... So, she unconsciously raised her eyes to look at the young pharaoh, just in time to meet his gaze.
What kind of look is that? Tenderness, pity, heartache, nostalgia, or lingering
These are all included in that look, but none of them can describe that look. His obsidian eyes narrowed slightly, and the complicated look was quickly replaced by indifferent eyes. It was only at this moment that she was surprised to find that the other party was sending her a concise message, and even more so. What made her feel unbelievable was that she actually—understood it!
He was telling her with his eyes—distracting Turner.
"Rameses, don't regret it, I will really kill her!" Turner became visibly agitated. Margot's heart moved, isn't now a good opportunity? Thinking of this, she glanced at Ramses and winked at him, then she raised her foot and stomped heavily on Turner's foot!
Turner let out a low cry of pain, and at almost the same moment, Margot saw a flash of white light in front of her, and then her whole body was pulled away by a force... The next second, she was already in the arms of Ramses It's inside... and Ramses' sword was pointed at Turner's throat without any mistakes!
The completion of this series of movements seems to be smooth and smooth, which makes people feel incredible.
"Asher, I will leave the rest to you. Put him in prison first, and wait for his trial." Ramses ordered calmly.
"Obey, my king." Asher twitched the corner of his lips, stepped forward and tied the dejected Turner with a rope.
Soon only he and she were left in the huge temple.
"Margo, are you afraid?" Ramses instinctively tightened his arms around the person in his arms.
"I'm not afraid..." she said in a low voice, feeling his heart beating violently, and the smell of palm leaves mixed with sunlight came from his body, which made people's heart beat unconsciously.
"Does it hurt here?" He stretched out his hand and carefully touched the scar on her neck, he couldn't help but frowned, hugged her tighter, and murmured, "I'm sorry..."
Margo's eyes widened in disbelief? Ramses... actually said sorry to her
"I swear in the name of God Amon, I will never let you suffer any harm again." He gently attached his lips to the scar, his kiss was as soft as a warm feather, and his kiss was so delicate , So gentle, with deep love and heartache, constantly hovering over her scars.
Margot felt that her whole face was burning hot, and something was burning deep in her heart. The air around her suddenly became dense and gentle at that moment, and bundles of them rolled up her body like feathers. There were colorful lights shining in front of her... But at this moment, a voice suddenly echoed in her ear.
"Also, how is my making Nefertari my queen?"
"King, everything is ready. As long as you use this method, no one will raise any objections to you making Nefertari queen..."
At a certain moment, she seemed to be about to stop breathing, just like an ice silkworm suddenly exposed to the sun, being sunburned with nowhere to hide. Pushing that person away, she took a deep breath, restrained her restless mood, pointed to the dark room and said, "Fei, Priest Fekti and the others are still below..."
Ramses smiled ambiguously: "Okay, save them first, and we will continue later."
Margot pretended not to hear, and when she followed him down to the dark room again, she accidentally knocked down the goddess statue. When she lifted up the statue, she found that the sound of the goddess falling down sounded a little strange. After a closer look, it turned out that there was a small bump on the back of the goddess. She pressed it curiously, and the incredible thing happened again!
The back of the goddess statue was actually cracked, revealing a groove, and a roll of parchment was placed inside.
"This, isn't this the encyclopedia of medical skills handed down by my first great priest in Egypt?" An excited voice sounded from behind her.
She turned her head and saw that Priest Fekti had woken up and was staring at the parchment in her hand with inexplicable excitement.
"The Encyclopedia of Medicine?" Ramses loosened the rope for him, "I seem to have heard from my father that the first priest wrote the book and put it in the temple. No one ever found it."
"Yeah, no one thought that it would be hidden in the body of the goddess. It's no wonder that no one would come to this dark room at ordinary times. Even if they came, they would not dare to touch the goddess casually." Fekti said As he spoke, he glanced at Margo.
Margot seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly raised her head and smiled at Ramses, "I'm really curious about the special features of the Egyptian Medical Encyclopedia, can you lend me a look first? Just for one night ?”
"This..." Priest Fekti showed a look of embarrassment.
"Of course." Ramesses interrupted him, "The encyclopedia of medical skills should have been seen and used by more people, so as to help more patients. If it is just hidden, it will also violate the medical skills." original intention."
"Thank you." Margot put the parchment into her arms, trying not to show excessive surprise.
The Encyclopedia of Egyptian Medicine—that is what her father always wanted, what she was always looking for, and the only purpose of her coming to Egypt.
Her mission has been completed, so, tonight, she should leave here... she is going to say goodbye, Egypt, her favorite—Egypt. She likes - Ramses.
But…
Shouldn't it be ecstatic? But why... She suddenly felt so sour in her heart
