Chapter 141
Everyone left the room.
"How long can he live?" Duke Ned asked.
"It depends on the will of the gods." Pycelle sighed, "In fact, it is a miracle that he can persist until now." "
"Robert! How is Robert!" Queen Cersei strode like a star, holding his son Prince Joffrey, and followed by his brother Jaime Lannister.
Grand Maester Pycelle said: "His Majesty has just made a will, drank poppy milk, and fell asleep."
"He has made a will?" Queen Cersei suppressed her anger, "Why didn't you call me! "
The minister lowered his head and did not speak.
Duke Ned clearly told himself not to show any strangeness, but he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He took a step forward and asked retortly, "Queen, why didn't you
accompany His Majesty when he was dying? Do we still need us to send someone to invite you?"
It was indeed the queen's fault, but Cersei's attitude was still strong:
"Do you want me to stay in that stinking room for seven days and seven nights? No bathing or eating? I have only left for a while, Lord Ned, you really know how to pick your time!"
Duke Ned really didn't want to mess around with this woman, he was worried that he could not control his anger and let the other party see the clue, so he strode past the queen, coldly throwing a sentence:
"In that case, go and accompany the king, he is not dead yet."
Cersei was not ready to let him go: "Wait! What about the will? Let me see."
" The will will wait until the king dies ." Duke Ned held the parchment scroll tightly , feeling more and more disgusted with the unscrupulous woman in front of him.
Cersei smiled disdainfully, and warned in an arrogant tone: "Okay, Lord Ned, just take that piece of paper and see if it can bring you power."
Duke Ned didn't bother to pay any attention to this woman, so he turned around and left.
"Mother, let's go see father!" Prince Joffrey cried.
Cersei only stared at Duke Ned's leaving back, gritted her teeth secretly, and after a while she shook off her son's hand, and said coldly,
" Go by yourself."
After speaking, the queen strode away without going to the king bedroom.
Duke Ned walked out of Maegor's Tower and stopped the council officials behind him.
He first said to Grand Maester Pycelle:
"Master Pycelle, Please take extra care of His Majesty these few days...to ease his pain."
"I will, Lord Eddard."
Then Duke Eddard turned to 'The Spider' Varys,
"Master Varys, always pay attention to the movement in the city, and report to me immediately if there is anything abnormal."
"Yes, Lord Ned."
Duke Ned looked at the Master of Justice, Duke Renly, and said :
"Lady Lysa still refuses to come to King's Landing. This trial will be postponed until His Majesty's funeral is over, and then we will discuss next steps."
Duke Renly seemed to have a different opinion:
"Lord Ned, If Lady Lysa refuses to come, no one can invite her. In that case, I think it is better to hold a trial directly and convict the 'Red Viper', so that His Majesty can leave with peace of mind."
Duke Ned hesitated for a while but he still shook his head.
Before him came the hideous face and warning words of Queen Cersei.
He felt that he should deal with the queen first and avenge the king. This was the most reassuring way for him to leave.
"Don't worry about it yet." Duke Eddard made a decision, "We'll talk about it after the funeral."
Duke Renly shrugged and did not continue to insist.
Finally, Duke Ned looked at Petyr Baelish, Master of coins, "Lord Petyr, come with me."
The two walked, but Duke Ned still didn't speak, as if hesitating for something.
"Lord Ned." Petyr took the initiative to ask, "If you are worried about the cost of His Majesty's funeral, leave it to me..."
"No."
Duke Ned shook his head and finally expressed his thoughts , "Do you know the commander of the Capital Defense Garrison ?"
"Ser Janos Slynt, of course I know him. We often drink and visit the Women's court together." Petyr's gray-green eyes shimmered , "Master Ned, do you want his help?"
Duke Ned hesitated for a moment. He actually didn't like "Littlefinger" very much. , still nodded and said: "Yes. I am worried that the king's death will cause chaos, so I need to make sure he obeys my command."
"It's easy."
Petyr snapped his fingers, "That's a greedy guy, just give him enough golden dragons and you can make him do anything."
Duke Ned also lost his affection for Janos immediately, but he also knew that it is better not to easily replace the commander of the capital garrison at this sensitive time, so he held back his anger and asked:
"How many golden dragons he will need?"
Petyr chuckled and said, "Thirty thousand golden dragons. Ten thousand for Janos Slynt, and ten thousand for his soldiers."
" another ten thousand?"
" Of course , in my pocket." Seeing Duke Ned's anger, Petyr quickly explained, "It's the final payment, the final payment, do you understand! If you give them all at once, will they still obey your orders? Lord Ned , You really have no sense of humor."
"The king is dying, you tell me a sense of humor?" Duke Ned said coldly,
Duke Ned paused, seemed to be hesitant, but still asked, "Can you get 30,000 Golden dragon?"
"Of course." The corner of Petyr's mouth turned up, "Although there are only rats left in the treasury, I am the Minister of Finance, and I can conjure a golden dragon by snapping my fingers."
Duke Ned was really in no mood to joke with Petyr, and he didn't want to have anything to do with bribery, so he waved his hand and said impatiently:
"Petyr, I leave this matter to you! Make sure the city garrison obeys my orders!"
"I will , Duke Ned !" Petyr bowed gracefully, smiling broadly.
——————————
In the room with closed doors and windows, there was golden light that could blind people's eyes.
On a hill made of golden dragons, Samwell lay lazily reclining, like a giant dragon guarding his treasure.
Unfortunately, he is not guarding, but devouring.
These golden dragons are also his championship rewards for this tourney.
As one golden dragon after another was sent into Samwell's mouth, his strength attribute continued to rise slowly but firmly.
Samwell has already felt the urgency of the coming chaos, so it is naturally impossible to keep these golden dragons. At this time, converting them into strength is the most sensible choice.
While devouring, he was also thinking about the current situation.
"Littlefinger"'s counterattack was indeed beyond Samwell's expectations. This guy is really a master at creating chaos, but fortunately, the situation has not completely lost control.
He could actually guess that "Littlefinger"'s next plan must be to throw the blame for the king's death on the Lannister family. This is actually very easy to do. After all, in the previous actions, the Lannister family telltale feet were exposed, perhaps these telltale feet were the clues deliberately left by "Littlefinger".
In this way, he can lead Duke Ned to become suspicious, and even provoke a dispute between lions and wolves .
And because "Littlefinger" himself participated in planning the death of the king, he must pretend to help the wolf family, but in fact he will definitely stand on the side of the lion as in the original book.
They even plan to have Duke Ned die in King's Landing. In this way, the Seven Kingdoms will be in chaos.
Of course, Samwell didn't want "Littlefinger" to succeed. If the Seven Kingdoms fell into chaos at this time, it would do him more harm than good.
He still want's to bring disaster to Dorne instead of disrupting the entire Seven Kingdoms.
So the best way is to let the "Red Viper" take action as soon as possible.
But this poisonous snake seemed to be a good learner, and he didn't do anything until now, which surprised Samwell.
Is this still the violent "Red Viper"?
Or did this guy become more cautious after suffering a loss in Starfall City last time?
In fact, to destroy Littlefinger's plan, Samwell has several alternatives, but this is the safest and most in line with his interests, and it is his first choice.
It seems that we have to "urge" the poisonous snake.
Of course, he definitely can't go directly to see Prince Oberyn, he can get away with it the first time, but it will be too easy to arouse the other party's suspicion if he goes for the second time.
I have to find a different way...
Samwell stuffed the golden dragon into his mouth expressionlessly, and at the same time his brain was running fast.
At last the handsome face of Renly Baratheon came into view.
Yes, you can go to Renly!
When Samwell heard that the king made his will, it was actually Duke Renly who was beside him, not Duke Ned.
He immediately realized that there was a problem.
Although Duke Renly is the king's younger brother, the only person Robert really trusts is Eddard Stark.
In the original book, Duke Ned also wrote the will for the king.
Although Duke Ned went to Eagle's Nest this time, the king might be worried that the other party would not be able to come back, so he asked his brother to make a will.
But Samwell still felt that it was more likely that Renly Baratheon was up to something.
The king's younger brother may not be able to wait to participate in this game of thrones.
In this way, Samwell was given a chance to take advantage of it...
While stuffing the golden dragon into his mouth continuously, Samwell's brain was also running wildly, and soon, a plan quietly took shape.
Samwell stood up from the pile of gold coins.
He ate for so long that it is estimated he has eaten nearly 30,000 golden dragons, and the originally magnificent "hill" has shrunk by half.
He didn't felt anything in his stomach, maybe it was "digested" directly, only his throat is uncomfortable, and mouth full of bitterness.
Fortunately, the strength attribute has been raised to 6.74.
But due to devouring a large number of golden dragons, its effectiveness has also rapidly declined. Now he has to eat more than two hundred golden dragons to increase his strength by 0.01.
This effect really made Samwell's heart ache.
Calculation at this speed, and considering the attenuation, even if he ate all the remaining nearly 10,000 golden dragons, he might not be able to increase the strength attribute to 7.
So he doesn't plan to eat the remaining golden dragon for now, let's save it first. Then talk later when we have more money.
Although it hurts, the effect was extremely obvious. Now Samwell feels that his body is full of explosive power, and he can't wait to vent it.
Even if "The Mountain" Gregor Clegane is in front of him, he dares to fight head-to-head with that opponent.
Samwell took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.
Reminding himself that he doesn't have the strength to act recklessly in King's Landing, and be cautious in everything he do.
Now that Duke Renly has revealed his ambition, he can try to see if this person can be used by him.
