Chapter 36: Victory and Defeat (4)

Under the gaze of the Queen's green eyes, Sansa was like a bare-clothed baby, without secrets, at the mercy of others, only listening and obeying, occasionally having some thoughts of her own true nature, but also had to be stopped in Queen Cersei's panicked expression, as if it were a great dishonor.

"Dear Sansa," Queen Cersei said, holding out a soft hand and placing it on her wrist. "You're such a nice boy. I wish you knew how much Joffrey and I love you. ”

"Really?" Sansa was out of breath. Littlefinger was suddenly left behind. Her Prince Charming loves her. Everything else doesn't matter anymore.

The queen smiled, "I almost think of you as my own daughter, and I know that you love Joffrey with all your heart. She shook her head slightly. But I am afraid I have some heavy news for you about your father. Kid, take courage. ”

Her calm words were like a poisonous snake hissing letters, and Sansa shuddered and subconsciously asked, "What news?" ”

"Your father he is guilty of treason, dear." Earl Varys Road.

Master Paisel raised his old head and said with a solemn face, "I heard Lord Eddard swear to King Robert that he would protect the little prince and treat him as his own son. Unexpectedly, as soon as the king died, he immediately gathered his ministers in a vain attempt to steal the throne that should have belonged to Joffrey. ”

"No," Sansa blurted out, "he'd never do such a thing, he wouldn't!" ”

When Du Yu came to the palace and walked into the main hall, he happened to hear Sansa's shout, and immediately said aloud: "Yes, of course he won't, Lord Eddard will naturally not commit treason." ”

He was in a hurry, but he was still the Earl of Malweyne, the nominal master of Harrenhal, and he had a delicate relationship with the Lannisters, and at the same time he was friendly with many powerful people, and if he wanted to meet the king, there was really no one to stand in his way.

Hearing this familiar and unfamiliar voice, Sansa turned her head in surprise, she only knew that this Oriental had sworn allegiance to her family and saved her "lady", among these indifferent and malicious faces, Du Yu was not the best choice, but it also brought her a trace of inexplicable comfort.

"Malwin, is that you? Who let you in! Cersei was the first to react, her turquoise eyes flashed with surprise, followed by anger that was hard to hide. Ed's treason is obvious to all, and you say he's not a traitor! Did you also participate in Ed's treason? ”

Joffrey on the Iron Throne was finally no longer the expressionless he had before, his face showed an extremely complicated look, fear and anger, and a little hysteria, he stood up from the Iron Throne, as if he was about to make some big move, but was stopped by a look from his mother.

As for the other important ministers, they also looked at Du Yu, with disdain, incomprehension and indifference on their faces, waiting for Du Yu's next words.

"My lord, may I ask a question first, King Robert? I don't remember the king's death knell ringing, why is it Prince Joffrey who sits on the Iron Throne now? Du Yu didn't answer Cersei's roar, but asked calmly and tepidly.

"His Majesty the King has passed away, just in the morning." It was not Queen Cersei who answered him, but the Empire's Chancellor of the Exchequer, Count Pattier Berish.

"And Joffrey, as King Robert's prince, the rightful heir in first line to the throne, is now our new king, and will be crowned soon." Varys, scented with flowers, continued with Littlefinger's words.

"Oh, so King Robert is dead, and Prince Joffrey is the new king." Du Yu turned his head to look at Joffrey, who was sitting on the Iron Throne, and bowed deeply and said, "King Joffrey, may your reign be peaceful and long. ”

As soon as his words came out, several ministers lowered their heads slightly, but Queen Cersei's face was much more relaxed, and there was still a little joy, and even Joffrey was not as angry as before.

Although Joffrey, as the king, has the right to withdraw the reward given to Du Yu by the previous king, but now that Du Yu has bowed his head very wisely and recognized Joffrey's rule, then in Cersei's opinion, he can release goodwill, after all, Du Yu's strength is strong, and his blog is widely remembered, which is obvious to all.

"Arise, for we will not do any bad to those who are loyal to the king." Cersei said, raising her hand. "Still, Count Malwyn, I would like you to explain what you just said, Ed swore to Robert before he died that he would protect my son Joffrey and treat him as his own. Unbeknownst to him, no sooner had Robert died, and he had tried to stage a coup d'Γ©tat to seize my son's Iron Throne. ”

Then she took out a letter with dried blood stains and the broken up ice wolf family crest, handed it to Du Yu and said, "Look at it, let Sansa see it, let her know what kind of person her father is." He tried to give the letter to his late husband's brother Stannis, inviting him to seek power from Dragonstone. ”

Cersei's voice was flat, not hateful, but rather lighthearted, for Eddard was behind bars, and no one in King's Landing could provoke and threaten Joffrey's rule.

Du Yu quickly read the full text, returned the letter directly to Cersei, her face was calm, unfazed, and was about to speak, but Sansa panicked and screamed: "Please, Your Majesty, this must be a misunderstanding,"

The sudden panic made her feel dizzy. "Please, come to my father, and he will explain to you that he is a friend of the king, and will never write such a letter."

"That's what Robert thought," said the queen, "if he had known it underground, it would have broken his heart." Fortunately, the gods were merciful and did not let him see it before he died. She sighed. Sansa, my dear good boy, you must know how hard it has been for us. This matter has nothing to do with you, we all understand this, but you are a traitor's daughter after all, how dare I dare you marry my son? ”

Looking at Joffrey on the Iron Throne without saying a word, Sansa's face was confused and uncomfortable, and she whispered, "But I love him." ”

"Child, don't I know this?" Cersei said kindly, kindly, and gently, "If you don't love him, how can you come to me and tell me your father's plan to send you away?" ”

I rub! This time, it was Du Yu who was shocked, and the co-author Sansa not only threw herself into the net, but came directly to Chengcheng! That's really ...... That's really ...... If it weren't for little Arya, he really wanted to chop Sansa alive with a knife, this is beyond the scope of the pit, this is simply giving away someone's head!

"Enough! Dear Queen, stop torturing her, she's just a child. Du Yu really couldn't stand it, this kind of language not only humiliated Sansa and the Stark family, but also constantly eroded the girl's self-esteem.

"Oh? Count Marwyn, can you tell us that you claim that Prime Minister Ed has no reason for treason? Cersei turned her head to look at Du Yu, and did not continue to embarrass Sansa, with an inquiring expression on her face, eager to hear what kind of answer Du Yu could give.
