Chapter 1504 Awarding Medals
Nie Yao pushed open the door and saw Li Jinxing leaning on the bed, his face still a little pale. Only then did she feel relieved. She hurriedly ran to the bedside and asked with concern, "Li Jinxing, how are you?"
The eldest brother of the Li family sat nearby, shrugged, and replied with amusement, "He just woke up and insisted on coming to see you. I tried to stop him, but luckily you came here first. You two really are in sync!"
Steve beside him also clapped his hands and laughed, "That's right, we just went to visit our senior sister, and she just woke up, and she insisted on coming to see Mr. Li. No matter how much we tried to persuade her, she just couldn't rest assured and had to see it with her own eyes!"
Nie Yao also curled the corners of her lips, held Li Jinxing's hand, and her eyes fell on Li Jinxing's face. She asked in a low voice: "How are you? You lost so much blood before, I was really scared..."
"Yaoyao, I'm fine!" Li Jinxing smiled faintly, holding Nie Yao's hand, and comforted her softly: "You'll be fine after the blood transfusion. But you... I heard you fainted at the scene?"
"I was just tired. I wasn't injured, but that tomb robber hurt you!"
Nie Yao couldn't help but feel a pang of hatred when she mentioned Osiris. She muttered quietly, "But fortunately, he didn't have a good end. He wanted to drag us down with him, but he got caught in a trap in the underground palace and was shot through the heart by an arrow!"
How ironic!
He kept saying that he wanted to take out Li Jinxing's heart for trial, but in the end his own heart was shot by the mechanism in the underground palace and he died of poisoning!
"That's what he deserved!" Li Jinxing nodded slightly, chuckled and joked, "Didn't you hear what those natives said? They all said it was the Queen appearing, protecting us and sending the criminals to hell..."
"I remember that he had so many criminals under his wing, and I don't know how many cultural relics he stole. He even had the nerve to claim to be the reincarnation of Osiris, the god of the underworld. If Queen Hatshepsut knew about this, she wouldn't let him go!"
Nie Yao said this and chuckled to Li Jinxing, "What's more, you are one of her descendants for generations!"
Li Jinxing raised his eyebrows slightly, shook his head and asked, "Yaoyao, do you really believe this?"
"I didn't believe it at first, but more and more evidence proves that those indigenous people were not mistaken!"
Nie Yao shrugged and answered seriously, "Li Jinxing, when the pharaoh passed away, her most favored princess disappeared. It seems that she may have left Egypt under an assumed name, but her descendants have since returned. Moreover, only the princess' descendants know how to open the underground palace. That's why the key ended up in the hands of your Li family and became your heirloom!"
After Nie Yao finished speaking, Li Yaofeng nodded in agreement and replied, "I think what Nie Yao said makes a lot of sense. This heirloom of our Li family has been passed down from generation to generation, and it was because of it that my parents were killed! Now it seems that those tomb robbers knew this secret a long time ago, and that's why they have been coveting it..."
"Brother, do you really think that we belong to the bloodline of the female pharaoh?" Li Jinxing did not expect that his elder brother would accept Nie Yao's speculation so quickly. He asked back with a helpless smile.
"Nie Yao was the main contributor to this underground palace excavation, so I trust her judgment and speculation!"
Li Yaofeng looked at Nie Yao with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He smiled faintly and added, "But whether it's true or not is no longer that important. Now we can at least confirm the origin of the enemy who killed our parents, and the largest tomb-robbing organization has collapsed!"
Li Jinxing frowned slightly, nodded silently, and sighed softly: "Yes, if my parents knew about this, they would definitely feel comforted..."
Seeing this, Nie Yao subconsciously held his hand to comfort him.
There was a brief silence in the ward.
Finally, it was Li Yaofeng who broke the silence and said with a smile, "Nie Yao, you haven't eaten since you woke up, right? If you want something to eat, I'll ask someone to buy it for you!"
"No need, I have already sent someone to make soup for A Yao!" Father Nie on the side quickly answered.
Nie Yao also nodded and said to his father, "Dad, I'll stay here with Li Jinxing and drink soup with him!"
"That's good. Li Jinxing lost too much blood before, and he needs to drink soup to replenish his energy!" Father Nie nodded, got up to make a phone call, and ordered someone to deliver the soup and dishes directly to Li Jinxing's ward.
After Nie Yao accompanied Li Jinxing and drank some hot soup and ate some food, she saw that Li Jinxing needed to rest, so she got up and returned to her own ward.
Also in order to accompany Li Jinxing, Nie Yao did not request to be discharged from the hospital early this time.
Fortunately, Li Jinxing recovered from his injuries quickly. In less than a week, the two were discharged from the hospital together and were warmly welcomed by the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities.
The cultural relics department not only held a press conference to announce the archaeological findings to the world, but also awarded Nie Yao and Li Jinxing special contribution medals respectively.
The other members of the archaeological team also received official rewards for their contributions to the rescue of cultural relics!
Standing outside the underground palace where she had shed so much sweat and had been kidnapped, Nie Yao accepted interviews from reporters from various countries.
"Ms. Nie, what do you think is the significance of this archaeological excavation?"
"Of course there is. There have always been many different opinions about Queen Hatshepsut's history. The large scale of the unearthed artifacts this time confirms historians' speculation. The economy of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt, during which she lived, had reached its peak. It can be said that she laid the most solid economic foundation for the Egyptian dynasty that followed during the Ramsesian era!"
Nie Yao explained with a faint smile, her words showing respect and admiration for the female pharaoh.
"Recently we have heard some rumors that Mr. Li is very likely the descendant of the female pharaoh left in the world. Miss Nie, do you think this statement is reliable?" a reporter asked curiously.
Nie Yao turned her head to glance at Li Jinxing not far away, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. "If he hadn't donated the important cultural relics this time, we wouldn't have made such a significant archaeological discovery! As for whether it's bloodline, a thousand years have passed. Even if we do a DNA comparison, we can't get an accurate result. So it's not that important, right?"
She smiled and joked, and many reporters nodded and took photos of Nie Yao crazily.
"Ms. Nie, I heard that you were kidnapped by the biggest and most terrifying tomb robber here, and you had a thrilling standoff with him. How did you overcome your psychological barriers?"
Nie Yao was silent for a moment when she heard this question. Facing the numerous cameras, she slowly spoke, "I only know that he can't take these cultural relics. As the old saying goes, 'Those who do evil will eventually perish.' He won't have a good end. This is what motivates me to fight him!"
