Chapter 13, touch

In Duke Ed's opinion, receiving the wages paid by the Lannisters does not mean that they will be bought, but there is no guarantee that there will be villains among them who will tell the news of what they hear.

The secret could not be hidden, and it was true that he could not continue to talk about these things in the Red Keep, and it revealed that he did not mean to tell anyone about Jon's background.

After getting along with each other for a while, Ed felt that Arthur's character was not bad, and he seemed to be trustworthy for the time being.

I heard that this kid wants to do some small business, and hopes that he can be a backer, and get the support of himself and the Stark family as prime minister with 30% of the profit.

The honest and upright Ed believes that Arthur's child has worked hard to produce goods, and it is okay to give him a little support, as long as he does not use his position as prime minister to use his power for personal gain, and if he does not break the law and pays full taxes, if there are nobles who trouble him, he can help settle it.

However, coming to King's Landing from the North, there was a large group of guards and servants to spend.

After listening to Arthur's introduction to the goods, he felt that the soap business was viable, and considering that he also needed money, Duke Ed became the majority shareholder with a wave of his hand, investing in the workshop that made soap, the store that sold soap, and recruiting clerks and workers.

Arthur was a little helpless, and he changed from a boss to a technician with technical shares.

But Duke Ed is still kind, if other nobles know that he has the goods that must be earned, I am afraid that if he does not hand over the production method, he will be in danger.

There is no harm in cooperating with the Stark family, and the benefits of income may not be reduced, because there is a big force to protect it, there will be basically no unnecessary trouble, and there is an unparalleled advantage in promotion.

In this way, Arthur and Jory left the Red Keep, had a hurried lunch, and chose a shop on Silk Street and Steel Street, and then chose a workshop in King's Landing.

With the help of the Prime Minister and the Stark family, it was not difficult to choose a storefront on Silk Street and Steel Street, and the workshop was quickly completed.

Arthur returned to the Red Keep rejoicing, and Lady Caitlin, who had secretly traveled south, arrived in King's Landing, where she was sent by Littlefinger's guards to his women's branch.

"You despicable villain!"

As the noble Mrs. Stark, Catelyn was brought to such a place, and was not happy to see the familiar little finger, and raised her hand and threw the mysterious note away.

"When I'm afraid that I'm a shameless female Chang female branch, I can ...... casually"

Her loud duty made the surrounding female branch girls come over, and then was chased away by the embarrassed little finger, explaining, "I have no intention of offending you, especially you." ”

Catelyn was furious, "How dare you bring me here! Are you crazy?"

Littlefinger: "No one is going to come here looking for you, isn't that exactly what you want?" ”

Lady Caitlin: "How did you learn that I arrived in King's Landing?"

Littlefinger pointed behind her, standing behind the beaded curtain of Imperial Intelligence Chief of Intelligence, Varys, "A good friend told me. ”

"Mrs. Stark. ”

Lady Caitlin looked back a little surprised, but also expected: "Count Varys. ”

Varys, the eight-clawed spider: "It's a joy to meet again today after many years of absence. ”

Lady Caitlyn did not like the eunuch, and the Minister of Intelligence seemed to know everything, and she asked with a look on her face, "How did you know I was here?"

"It is my duty to inquire about the news, ma'am. Varys said, "Maybe I just have the news you want to know." ”

Joffrey's assassination of Bran was prevented before it began, and the Valyrian steel dagger stolen from the Emperor could not have been carried by Mrs. Caitlyn as a murder weapon, but there is no evidence in the original play that the Lannister was the driving force behind the scenes, and it was up to Varys, the intelligence chief, to provoke a war.

Because in this empire, he is the most well-informed.

"My little birds are everywhere, and even in the north, they tell me anything that is wrong. ”

Lady Caitlyn pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know about the crown prince?"

Varys let out a long sigh and said, "His Highness Joffrey is too ignorant, but he's just a child. ”

Hearing this, Littlefinger smiled: "There are some things you don't know, but I know that some people have always been ambitious. ”

"Who?" asked Lady Tkelyn hurriedly.

Littlefinger smiled, "Tyrion Lannister." ”

"Your Majesty*|The people around you are Lannister, the Queen is Lannister, Jaime Lannister is the Kingsguard, and the whole King's Landing is all over their eyes, and when His Royal Highness Joffrey ascends the throne, I am afraid that the entire empire will fall into the hands of Lannister. ”

Born into a dwarf, with an improportionately large head, a protruding forehead, an ugly appearance like a demon, two eyes one black and one blue, with such a disgusting deformed appearance, no one will like him, the first impression between people is very important, there is no sense of disobedience to splash dirty water on him, and there will be a few more chances of convincing.

"Tyrion?"

After his reminder, Lady Caitlin, who was frowning, immediately made up for it.

It feels that the little demon Tyrion, as the ambitious Lannister and Joffrey's uncle, is completely in line with the viciousness and insidiousness of the conspirators, and is the most likely to push Bran off the tower and instigate Joffrey to assassinate Bran.

......

In the evening, return to the palace.

After taking care of the chores of the tournament, Littlefinger met the busy Prime Minister Ed in the throne room, and when he saw that he was holding a letter from the ravens of Winterfell, he strode over and asked, "Is that good news?"

"Maybe you'd like to share it with Madame?"

Ed didn't have a good impression of him, and said in a cold tone, "My lady is in Winterfell. ”

"Really?" Littlefinger smiled meaningfully, suggesting that Ed follow him.

Leaving the Red Keep Palace, he took the upright Prime Minister to the high-ranking women's branch he opened in King's Landing.

While explaining, he led the way: "I think she is the safest here, this is one of my properties." ”

Littlefinger is his rival in love, and he has a duel with his brother Brandon the wild wolf for Caitlin, and brought his wife to the women's branch, and Ed, a straight man, immediately had a lot of bad thoughts, and grabbed him by the neck and pushed it against the wall: "You're really joking!Huh?

"Ned!"

Hiding in the women's branch and knowing her husband's personality, Caitlyn knew that he would be very upset to come here, and when her little finger was choked and she couldn't breathe, she hurriedly came over to relieve the siege.

Seeing his wife, Ed let go of his hand and walked quickly into the women's branch, his little finger gasped, and he whispered hatefully: "Stark's family, with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. ”

In the lavishly decorated women's courtyard, Littlefinger said to Mr. and Mrs. Ed: "As for accusing the Queen's brother of murdering your son, the mere mention of this matter will be considered treason. ”

"You have no proof. ”

Hearing this, Ed was silent, not thinking about what to do next, he now had a bunch of to deal with.

Lady Catelyn: "Baerichie has promised to help us investigate the true face." Ned, he's like my own brother. He will never fail my trust. ”

Littlefinger said seriously: "For her sake, I will do my best to keep you safe, I have to say, only a fool would do this, but I can never refuse any request from your wife." ”

Lady Caitlin: "I can't forget you, you're a true friend. ”

Littlefinger: "Don't tell anyone, I still want to maintain my reputation and image." ”

......

The sun has not yet set, and candles have been lit in the palace*|.

A letter from Winterfell, the news of the awakening of the second son of the Stark family has been learned by Cersei, and she asks her brother to come into her room to discuss, but she is afraid that the affair will be exposed, and she will inevitably appear panicked, and when she sees Jaime, she says, "How are you stupid?"

Jaime advised, "Calm down. ”

Cersei: "He's a kid, he's only 10 years old, what were you thinking?"

"Thinking about us, it's too late to complain. Knowing what the twin sister was nervous about, Jaime whispered, trying to keep her from panicking, "What did the kid say?"

"Nothing, he didn't say anything, he doesn't remember anything," Cersei said.

James said angrily, "Then what are you complaining about?"

"What if he remembers?" Cersei worried, "if he tells his father..."

"Let's just say he's lying, he's daydreaming, and we can say whatever we want, so we can't beat a little hairy kid, right?" Jaime comforted as he approached his twin sister.

Cersei asked, "What about my husband?"

Jaime looked at his twin sister with a look on his face: "I will not hesitate to go to war with him if I need to, and the bard will make a ballad for it, a bloody battle that will be caused." ”

Listening to her twin brother's foul words, Cersei raised her hand and slapped it over. And Jaime, who was slapped in the face, didn't care, grabbed her and hit his hand, and hugged her.

"Let go of me. Cersei struggled.

"No, never. Jaime hugged her hard: "That boy won't say anything, if he dares to say it, I'll kill him, and Eddard Stark and the Emperor, until you're the only one left in the world." ”

......

The next day, as soon as the sky was faintly bright, the Starks spent the night at Littlefinger's Female Branch, with Littlefinger and Varys, the land snakes of King's Landing, on their side, and Eddard was going to see his wife off at the small city gate, and there were no outsiders around.

Lady Caitlyn arrives in King's Landing, but she doesn't see her two daughters, and is reluctant to leave like this: "I really want to see the children"

Ed shook his head helplessly: "That's too risky." ”

Mrs. Caitlin: "Just take a look"

Eddard didn't want her to encounter any trouble or danger in King's Landing, and said solemnly, "Unless we find out who the enemy is..."

Lady Caitlyn interrupted, "Ned, I'm sure the Lannisters did it, I have this instinct!"

Ed: "Littlefinger is right, and without proof, I'm helpless, I can't do anything." ”

Lady Caitlin: "And what if you find evidence?"

"Then I'll present them to Robert, and hopefully he'll still be the Robert I know. Be careful on your way back. Your bad temper is easy to get into trouble. "Eddard is still the same loyal Duke Stark who loves his family.

Caitlyn smiled speechlessly, "My temper, gods, you almost killed poor Littlefinger yesterday." ”
