Led by the Imperial Governor, Ed walked up the moat drawbridge of the Megar Tower, through the four-meter-thick doorway of the city wall, and entered a huge square fortress that had been the residence of the kings of the past: the Megar Tower.

The Kingsguard Berros Braun guards the drawbridge, while the towering Malintlan and the gloomy Mandenmoor guard the gates. Barristan, the captain of the Kingsguard, and three other brothers in white guard the door to the king's bedroom.

Ed took one look at Barristan's pale face and sensed that something was wrong.

Along the way, he felt that the face of the imperial chief was as cold as a rock, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart at that time.

"What's wrong with the King?" Ed asked Barristan with a look in his eyes.

Barristan looked miserable and didn't say a word.

The Grand Chancellor sang in front of the door of the king's bedroom and shouted that the Prime Minister had come to see him, and King Robert's voice came out: Let him in.

Robert's voice was muddy, as if he had a mouthful of phlegm in his throat!

Ed pushed the door open, and a wave of heat hit his face: two fireplaces in the room were blazing. Master Paisier was there, Duke Lanley was there, Cersei was there, and Sir Barristan followed the Prime Minister into the steamy bedroom.

Robert collapsed on the bed, his feet stretched out of the bed, and his mud-stained boots on his feet, and a very unpleasant smell of potion emanated from his direction, filling the room.

Ed was shocked, he walked over, and Robert's voice rang out, "Ned, can't you be faster?"

Without saying a word, Ed reached out and lifted the blanket from the king's body, the bandages that almost covered his chest and lower abdomen were all stained red with blood, and the smell of rot and potions was disgusting.

Ed put down the blanket, and he could see the severity of King Robert's injuries. He couldn't believe that the king had survived so many days and returned to the palace from the Kingswoods.

"What's going on?" Ed asked, a tingle in his heart, as if it wasn't the king who was hurting, but himself.

"A wild boar...... "The king tried to laugh, but the pain caused him to crack his mouth and snort, "damn brute...... Its tusks gave me a bit. ”

Ed suddenly became angry: "Duke Lanli, what were you doing at that time? And you, Sir Barristan, you are the captain of the Kingsguard, responsible for the king's security, what were you and your brother in white doing at that time?"

Barristan gritted his teeth and said nothing, his face pale.

Duke Lan Li was restless and walked up and down under the long window, not stopping for a moment: "Lord Eddard, my brother ordered us all to stand aside and let him face the big guy alone. ”

"Ned, don't blame them. King Robert said, "I gave it my own orders...... But I didn't give the boar any kindness...... I stabbed it just above its eye...... If you don't believe me, ask them......"

"At my brother's orders, we brought the boar back. "My brother wants to make a wild boar feast. ”

"Yes, that's right. King Robert spoke in a weak voice, "You all go out first, and let me and Ned be alone for a while." ”

Cersei said, "Robert...... You should rest more...... Talk less. ”

"Get out, stinky woman!" Robert scolded, "Are you deaf or dumb enough to understand what I say, everyone, get out of here, I'm going to talk to Ned alone." ”

Scholar Pai Hill brought a bowl of poppy milk: "Your Majesty, drink it to calm the pain." ”

"Get out, you old immortal dog, do you want me to scold a few more words?" Robert reached out and knocked the poppy milk to the ground, "Get out!"

Duke Lanli, Cersei, Paischer, and Barristan all withdrew, and Barristan closed the door, and everyone stood at the bedroom door. Petyrberg the Littlefinger arrived, and at the end of the corridor, the bald Lord Varys arrived.

Everyone gathered in front of King Robert's bedroom door with strange expressions, and in the room, the king and the prime minister had been talking, and the door slowly opened after a long time.

Ed stood in the gate, looking tired, but anyone could see the sadness in his eyes. Everyone knows that the relationship between the king and the prime minister is not ordinary, the two of them grew up together and fought together, no matter how angry the king was, he would not do anything to Ed, and the threats were all just threats, but it was different for other people, and the threats would become reality.

"Lord Varys, the King has an order to withdraw the order to hunt Daenerys Targaryen. Ed said softly, sad and tired.

"Prime Minister, the little bird has been scattered, and now the order is withdrawn, I dare not guarantee ......"

"If the facts have been made, I have nothing to say, but try to withdraw the order to hunt down, it is the king's order. ”

"Yes, Prime Minister, as soon as I went to see the King, I did it. ”

"You don't have to go to the king, go and withdraw the order at once. ”

"Yes, Prime Minister. Varys bowed deeply and left silently.

"Scholar Paisir, Duke of Lanli, the King has commanded you both to come in. ”

"Yes, sir. Paisher said respectfully, looking up and glancing at Queen Cersei. And Duke Lanli had already pushed the door in.

The king's will has been written, it is a letter appointing Ed as the guardian and regent of the whole realm, in the presence of the Duke of Lanli and the Scholar of Paischer, the king stamped his seal, Prime Minister Ed put the king's will into his arms, he watched with his own eyes as the great master of Paisher made poppy milk for King Robert, and watched the king fall asleep after drinking the milk before turning and walking.

When Ed came out, he saw the Hound entering the corridor with a dozen red-robed men, who were the queen's personal guards, responsible for the queen's safety, and had the right to enter and leave the court freely.

Seeing the hound, Ed's heart jumped.

Eddard knew that the real moment was coming soon, King Robert was too badly wounded, the boar's teeth had burst through his lower abdomen and down to his chest, and soon the king would be gone, and he had to get the support of the King's Landing garrison, otherwise he couldn't do it.

Eddard quickly left Megar under the cold gaze of Queen Cersei, and he immediately sent Lit's guards to Dragonstone to ask Stannis Baratheon to bring his army into King's Landing.

According to the Law, Joffrey was not Robert's son, and Robert's eldest brother, Stannis Baratheon, was the rightful heir to the kingdom. Eddard ordered Petyr Littlefinger to find a way to win over Genos Sterling, and he ordered his butler Vianpur to pack all his belongings and leave King's Landing with the two young ladies to return to Winterfell.

Sansa was crying and packing, and Arya was still learning to dance, but she said at dinner this morning that she had packed her bags and was just waiting to go.

Chapter 0263-2 The regent who is in a sad mood

"Your Excellency!" said Scholar Paischer with a sad face, "Last night, His Majesty passed by. ”

Eddard's heart ached, he felt something most important leave him completely, it was a familiar feeling, and it was the same feeling in his heart when Lyanna Stark left him.

Ed just wanted to cry, but he was the Prime Minister, the Guardian of the North, the Duke of Winterfell, and he couldn't show the sadness in his heart, these damn titles, if he could, Ed would be willing to give everything in exchange for a moment of time for King Robert to mourn. For this kingdom, and for himself.

Yesterday when he was alone with the king, the king said that he knew that he was a faint king, and that he was not qualified for the position of king, but he had no choice, he just wanted to be a mercenary, but he could not give the kingdom to Joffrey and Cersei, he thought it would be worse.

Now that the bad times have come, Ed's heart is full of pain, but he has no power to vent his personal sorrow, the dead have rested, and the living will still carry the burden. In order to let Robert leave in peace, Ed did not tell King Cersei's secret, he couldn't bear to add a trace of pain to his old friend, and let himself bear all the pain, this may be Ed's fate.

Ed looked at the Great Master Punch, and he knew that the most dangerous moment had come.

The Prime Minister's Tower has been guarded by Ed as much as possible to ensure the safety of everyone in the Tower, and he has no sense of security anywhere else.

Each of these powerful people in King's Landing Red Keep wore one or more masks, which was the least liked by the northerners, and he had also grieved for the king, and it was difficult for any bold bastard with a bad heart to endure the faces of these hypocrites, but Robert endured it. One forbearance is sixteen years.

Now it's up to Ed to put up with it.

Eddard only needs to drag Stannis to lead an army to King's Landing and proclaim him queen, and then he will rest his burden and return to the north, never to come to this non-human place again.

"Lord Paichel, please inform all the Imperial Ministers to come to me for a meeting. Ed said.

"Here?" said Fellow Palmer with a bewildered look.

"Yes, here, convening the Imperial Council, I have something to announce. Ed said.

"Uh, well!" said the Great Master.

The first to arrive was Ser Barristan Sermi, the Captain of the Imperial Guard, dressed in white robes and a prominent minister in the Imperial Council.

The second place came to Littlefinger, who still had a cynical smile on his face and mud stuck to his boots: "Prime Minister, you have explained my little things, it's okay." ”

A boulder fell to the ground in Ed's heart.

Third place went to Varys, who was still covered in fragrance and rubbed rouge on his face.

"My lord, what's the matter?" asked Varys as he entered, "I thought there was a pre-royal council in the throne hall." ”

Ed said, "Why is the Duke of Lanli delayed, who saw the Duke of Lanli when you came?"

"Duke Lanli?" Varys pursed his lips, "Lord Eddard, Duke Lanli left the side door of the Red Keep before dawn last night, and with him was Ser Loras Tyrell, and they took all the guards, about a hundred people. ”

Duke Ed was disappointed for a while, he had hoped that Duke Lan Li could help him, Lan Li and Loras, plus the hundred guards under him, were a lot of strength, Lan Li and Loras' martial arts were also very good, and Loras could even block the hounds.

Just after the King and Eddard had a secret conversation, Duke Lanley approached Ed and asked him to launch an operation at night to secretly raid Maegor and take Cersei and her three children, but Ed refused.

Ed would never want to hurt any child, and the child is innocent, which is one of the dogmas of chivalry.

Ed took out the king's will, he first gave the will to Barristan to inspect the seal, Barristan confirmed that the seal was correct, and then Ed asked Barristan to open the letter and read it, the letter said that after the king's death, Eddard Stark was appointed as the hand of the king, the prime minister of the seven kingdoms, the guardian of the whole territory, the chief of the kingdom's military, political, and government affairs, and exercised all the king's powers on his behalf until the kingdom's legitimate heir succeeded to the throne.

Ed said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please abide by the will of the previous king, and recognize me as the regent of the kingdom, the guardian of the whole territory, the hand of the king, and the chief of the kingdom's political, military, and government affairs. ”

The four of them stood up and bowed down together to recognize Eddard's position as Regent.

Ed has the unanimous support of the imperial ministers, and his heart is more stable, as long as the imperial council recognizes him, all the power is under control.

At this time, the chief steward of the royal court hurriedly came to report: My lords, the king has announced the convocation of the coronation in the throne hall, and asks all the important ministers to rush to the king's throne hall and swear allegiance to Joffrey I.

Ed sneered, "Your Excellency, the king is dead. ”

"The first king is gone, but the new king is already on the Iron Throne, and according to the laws of the kingdom, Joffrey is the new king. ”

Barristan also said: "Your Excellency, Joffrey is the rightful heir, and it is time for me to serve the new king." ”

Ed said, "Joffrey is not a king until he is crowned, I am the regent, and I should be the one who holds the meeting of the royal ministers." Well, since Cersei can't wait, let's go to the throne hall first, and I'm going to explain something important to you. ”

"What's the matter?" Varys said.

"Joffrey is not King Robert's son, he has no right of inheritance, and the real heir to the throne should be Stannis Baratheon. ”

The four important ministers of the imperial front were all stammering.

Barristan was genuinely shocked, indicating that his sword was sharper than his mind, and the other three were old foxes with shocked eyes in their eyes, while the other hidden eyes looked at Ed with a meaningful gaze.

Ed took the royal ministers and his own guards to the throne hall, under the windows on both sides of the hall, stood full of golden robes, the commander-in-chief Genos Slint personally led the team, Ed looked at Genos, Genos nodded vaguely at Ed, which made Ed's heart settle.

Joffrey was sitting reclining on the Iron Throne, and the boy had a playful smile on his face, as if it were a very ironic game. The Hound stood next to the King's Iron Throne, and five Kingsguards lined up in front of the seven steps of the Iron Throne.

Cersei stood between the Iron Throne and the Hound with her chin raised with a proud expression.

Behind the Iron Throne, there were twenty red-robed warriors lined up.

But Ed's heart was very stable, and the number of gold-robed people was five times that of the red-robed ones.
