The Fall of the Golden Empire (Novel) (Volume 1) "Bloody Sunset" by Zhang Baotong
The king was very drunk and had been drunk since he fell down in the afternoon. Xiuwei also drank a lot and accompanied the king in his deep sleep. The princess and the prince didn't drink much. Although they were a little drunk, they felt much better after a good sleep. Because the king was sleeping and could not return to the palace, Princess Yina and Princess Wuga could only stay in Ziyuan Pavilion.
At dinner, the two princesses ate with Princess Palia and Prince Atahualpa. Dinner consisted of boiled corn, roasted potatoes and some llama jerky. This is the main daily food of the Inca nobles. Compared with the food and meat in the royal dining room of the palace, it is far inferior. However, vicuña jerky is the best food in the Inca country, exclusively used by royal family members, and sometimes supplied to soldiers on the front line. But the Inca warehouses only provided enough corn and clothing for the common people and nobles, and the Inca nobles would raise many sheep or pigs and grow many vegetables for their families. The most terrifying thing was the Inca people. They could only eat dry cakes or gruel made from cornmeal, and could only eat meat once in a while when someone got married or during a festival. It can be said that, in a sense, in the Inca Empire, only the king enjoyed an extremely noble and luxurious life, while others were much worse off in terms of material enjoyment and resource possession.
After dinner, although the sun was about to set, the sky was still bright. Because there is a beautiful lady who is sleeping with the king, Yina and Wuga have nothing to do. The two of them sat in the outdoor room where the king slept and played backgammon, so that they could respond immediately to the king's orders. Backgammon is an intellectual game and entertainment activity that is very popular and popular among the Inca nobles. The prince was bored, so he sat and watched them play chess. After watching for a while, the prince saw that Yina had defeated Wuga, so he wanted to fight with Yina, but Yina said, "You have to fight with Wuga first, and then you can fight with me after you win her."
So Atahualpa went down with Uga. After a while, he defeated Wu Ga, and then followed Yi Na. However, Yina quickly defeated him. However, he still wanted to play another game with Yina. Yi Na had no choice but to continue with him. Wu Ga watched for a while, said he wanted to go to the garden to see flowers, and went out.
Only Princess Ina and the prince were left in the hut playing chess. As the rain continued, the prince suddenly asked, "Is the king really cured of his illness?" Because he felt that if his father really contracted the plague, he would not be cured at all. Because no one who gets this disease can survive.
Yina glanced at the prince and said, "You don't stay with the king all day long, how can you still know?"
The prince was stunned by the question and said, "If the king is really sick, how can he be cured so quickly?"
Princess Yina asked, "Why can't the king's illness be cured soon?"
The prince felt that what he said was not right, so he immediately changed his tone and said, "I am just saying that it is our blessing that the king's illness can be cured quickly." But the two of them played a few more moves, and the prince whispered again Asked, "Has your Majesty told you recently about Princess Anna Yama or Prince Huascar?"
Yina stopped playing chess and said to him in a very serious tone, "The laws of the Inca Empire stipulate that women cannot participate in state affairs, so I will not participate in or discuss the affairs of the royal family. Please don't ask me such questions, prince." thing."
The prince nodded apologetically and said, "Aunt Yina is so smart. No wonder my father likes you so much."
After a while, when the prince saw that it was very quiet in front of the door and there was no one around, he suddenly grabbed the princess' hand that was reaching for the chessboard and said excitedly, "My little dove, don't you know that I have always loved you?" , I feel panicked after not seeing you for a day. You are the smartest and most beautiful beauty in the Inca Kingdom." In the Inca Kingdom, pigeons were compared to their beloved women.
Although Princess Ina is only seventeen years old, she is a rare beauty among Inca women with both talent and appearance. She is also gentle in temperament, bright-eyed, understanding of the world, and considerate of others. Which man would not fall in love with a woman like this? Although Yina is his father's concubine, as a young and handsome prince, he has always been secretly infatuated with her, but this infatuation cannot be expressed.
Yina was shocked by the prince's behavior, and quickly pulled her hand away from the prince's hand, and said to him in a very angry tone, "Don't you want to die?" After saying that, she stood up immediately and said angrily. He rushed out of the house.
Prince Atahualpa originally wanted to pull Princess Ina into his arms. On the one hand, he wanted to use her as the eyes, ears and spokesperson beside his father, so that he could keep his ears open beside his father's pillow; On the other hand, he did love her from the bottom of his heart. Because he wanted to do this, he deliberately got his father drunk and then arranged for his father to fall asleep in his mother's room. However, what he didn't expect was that Yi Na was not the kind of woman who could be manipulated easily. Therefore, his plan failed to come true. This made him feel very depressed and worried, and even extremely worried and afraid that Yina would tell his father about his behavior. If so, what would his father do to him?
It quickly became dark. The lights in Ziyuan Pavilion were sparse and the night was quiet. The Inca people firmly believe that the night makes people sleep, so after dark, people will fall asleep quickly to prepare for the hard work tomorrow. At this time, in Ziyuan Pavilion, besides Emperor Huayna Capac, Prince Atahualpa was the only man in the harem. He is still not sleepy because he is full of worries.
He walked gently in the silent Ziyuan Pavilion courtyard, looking at the boudoir show pavilion on both sides, which was already dark. He knew that Yina lived in one room and Wuga lived in the other room. Because Inca law punished crimes very severely, no one would steal or rob, let alone commit adultery. Therefore, the Incas did not have the habit of closing the door. Even if they went out during the day, they would just hang a rope in front of the door to show that no one was home.
He stood in front of the door of Yina's room for a long time, a kind of strategy and restlessness hesitating and repeating in his heart. He knew that with just a slight push, the door would open. But he also knew that this approach was also very risky. Once his father knew about it, the consequences would be disastrous. However, he also knew that his father was drunk and that he would not wake up until noon tomorrow in the company of a beautiful woman. Finally, he made up his mind. Because although he is an Inca, he still has the blood of Quito mixed in his body, and the blood of Quito is boldness and adventure.
He opened the door gently. The room was dark and deathly silent. He closed the door gently again, walked into the room quietly, and came to the bedside in the dark, where he heard the gentle breathing of a woman sleeping soundly. This sound made him feel very wonderful, a kind of warm and intoxicating dizziness. He took off his clothes, got on the bed and got under the covers. Immediately, a warm, smooth and comfortable feeling filled his body, making him excited. So he hugged the warm and smooth object tightly.
I thought that this young woman would resist and struggle with him. If so, he would tell her the truth that her father was suffering from the plague, so that she would know that her fate would fall into the hands of his prince. . However, what was unexpected was that this wonderful object made a sleepy sound, and then obeyed him in a dazed manner but very mechanically, and put its face on his chest affectionately and confusedly.
As the beloved concubine of the Inca King, although she loved him deeply, this was only because of her identity and respect for the king, and also because of her own destiny and arrangements. But as a young woman, of course she preferred to be strong and strong. , a dynamic young prince.
In fact, Princess Yina had long seen that the prince had affection for her, but out of caution and worry, she never dared to express it to him, because if this kind of thing was not done well, it would destroy herself, and at the same time, It would destroy the prince, so she always pretended to turn a blind eye to the prince's affection. Even when the prince walked to her bedside in the dark, she had already felt it. However, she deliberately pretended to be asleep and dazed, and watched the prince's movements. When the prince came into her body and held her tightly and kissed her, she felt that he was the man she really wanted.
Although she knew that the person next to her was not her husband or the man, Emperor Wayna Capak, but a young prince who called her aunt, she also knew that it was sinful for a concubine to do this with a prince, and even to be beheaded. of. However, she also knew that her king was drunk and unconscious, and that the girl named Xiuwei was sleeping with him. He would not fully wake up until tomorrow afternoon. Therefore, she wanted to take the opportunity to taste the taste of true love and beat closely with another young heart. This kind of thing will not be discovered by the king.
The two lingered for a long time, and the prince wanted to leave because he was afraid of long nights and dreams, but Yina couldn't live without the prince, so he hugged the prince and refused to let go. The prince said to Ina, "My little dove, if you sleep with me today, you are mine. When my father dies, I will marry you." Because after the death of King Inca, his Virgins and concubines would also be passed down to his successors along with his throne.
Keyi said with tears in her eyes while kissing the prince, "But when the king dies, I will be old. How can the prince think of me again?"
The prince put Yina's face against his chest, caressing her gently and said in a heavy tone, "Father, I won't live long."
Yina was shocked and asked, "Why did the prince say such unlucky words?"
The prince said, "My father is suffering from the plague."
Yina was suddenly startled, "Really?"
The prince said calmly, "Yes, it was the wizard Kachaba who said it."
Yi Na took a long breath and said, "Poor King, I'm afraid he doesn't know it himself."
The prince said, "Only you know this, I know it, and the Kachaba wizard knows it. You must not let anyone else know it."
Yina asked, "Why?"
The prince said, "If the direct relatives find out, they will force my father to hand over the throne and Quito to Huascar." As the prince said, he said to Ina in a warning tone, "You must not say this to anyone. Others said: As long as my father dies and I can take charge of Quito, I will be the king of the north. By then, you will be my concubine, and we can be together every day. How happy would that be?"
