Chapter 190: Desire is hard to fill

"Ed won't let you into Robert's room again?" Lan Li paced back and forth restlessly for a while, then suddenly turned around and stood still, and asked in a low voice, "You have been in front of Robert's bed all day, what is going on with my brother's body?"

"I don't know...... I don't know......" Margaery shook her head blankly, looking like she was about to cry: "Your Majesty is obviously so good at living, but for some reason he is getting more and more empty, and in the past two days, he has even begun to say that he is 'hopeless', 'going to die' or something...... It is useless for anyone to persuade them. ”

For half a month, she took care of her bedside, but she could only watch Robert languish a little bit, and experience the taste of stepping from heaven to hell step by step. A curse-like voice seemed to hover in her ears: You never, never, never want to marry the man you want to marry.

She shook her head vigorously to shake the illusion out of her mind, but she still couldn't figure it out in her stomach: "Isn't it just that I was stabbed in the back, such a strong man, since he didn't die at that time...... Afterwards, there are so many doctors and bachelors, how can they not be saved?"

Looking at Margaery, who was in a state of despair, Lan Li understood that she couldn't ask anything if she asked any more, so she gave up the idea and circled around the room again. Actually, he didn't really need Margaery's answer at all, but he was nervous and subconsciously wanted to talk to someone......

Having lost both of her parents since childhood, Lan Li can almost be said to have been brought up by two brothers, Robert and Stannis...... He can be said to know everything about his two brothers, who are also brothers and fathers, from temperament to personality - what Robert said to the Prime Minister in the room just now, although he didn't listen to half of it, even if he only guessed, he could guess eight or nine.

If he doesn't do anything next, he will spend the rest of his life under his brother, who is rigid to almost pedantic, boring to almost cruel, and the Baratheon family will be divided into King's Landing and Storm's End, and his children and grandchildren will be deprived of the Iron Throne for thousands of years.

He was not reconciled.

......

"Robert has just finished explaining the aftermath and sealed the will. Outside the window, the night was like ink, Lan Li looked through the window at the still lit Prime Minister's Tower, and then looked back at the languishing Margaery Tyrrell, knowing that it was impossible to rely on outsiders to make decisions for herself, she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet: "Guess what our Prime Minister is doing now? I bet with my life, he is now writing to Stannis, asking him to quickly lead the fleet back to King's Landing to inherit the throne......, and my second brother has a wife! Do you still want to be a queen?"

"Do I still want to be a queen?" Margaery raised her head as if she had woken up from a dream, her face full of exhaustion and puzzlement: "How could Stannis have that kind of temperament, how could he be abolished and remarried." ”

"Of course not, even if his wife dies for some reason, he will never think about you!When Stannis was besieged by the Tyrells army in Storm's End, he almost ran out of food, and Robert insisted on not liquidating the Riverbend after the war...... He's still haunted him, and if he sits on the Iron Throne, no matter who you marry, one generation or two...... Within a hundred years, the Rose Family will not even want to turn over!"

"What do you mean...... Don't let him sit on the Iron Throne?" Margaery heard Lan Li's words, came back to her senses, her body shook, and her eyes instantly focused from a fluttering state to Lan Li's face: "However, the garrison is now in Ed's hands!"

"The garrison is only 2,000 people, so what if Ed holds it in his hands?" Lan Li, who had made up his mind, trembled in his voice, but his tone was full of disdain: "The armies of the North, the River, the Valley, and the King's Territory are all fighting in the West, but my army only marched west through King's Landing two days ago, and it is less than a hundred miles away, and it is the closest army to the capital of the Seven Kingdoms at this moment. If I can pull them to King's Landing, the Riverlands will have some men to help...... Don't say two thousand, it's four or five thousand, what can you do!"

"This ......" Margaery opened her mouth, a chill on her back, usurping the throne by force, and although she tried her best to bring the family back to the center of power, she never thought of raising troops in such a violent and dangerous way, which was not within the scope of the skills that her grandmother had taught her!

"I, write to my vassals. Lan Li gasped and looked out the door, looked out the window, turned around and approached the girl, and lowered her voice again: "You, write a letter to your family, and ask Loras to quickly bring someone to King's Landing!"

"Even if you can take King's Landing, how will you deal with the counterattack of the royal lord and the northern coalition forces?"

"Do you think I've been eating, drinking, and merry-keeping in King's Landing all these years, and that the princes are all my friends! They will take Eddard Stark's orders to return to defend King's Landing, but they will 'encounter' all sorts of troubles along the way, and the march will be 'delayed' again and again until I take King's Landing...... At that time, as long as I sat on the Iron Throne, they would not hesitate to swear allegiance to me. As for the armies of the three northern families that Eddard Stark can control...... I can't explain to you the exact reason, but I promise they won't be able to come back in time!"

Margaery believed that the royal army might be biased towards supporting Lan Li, but how did he ensure that the army that obeyed Eddard Stark's orders would not be able to return in time? The girl stared at Lan Li's originally young and handsome face, but at the moment it was slightly hideous because she had made the most important decision in her life, her expression changed in a variety of ways, and after only a little thought, she guessed the truth: "You...... Did you make a deal with the Lannisters!?"

"No, I didn't promise anything to the Lannisters, it was Tywin's old man's wishful thinking!" Lan Li grabbed Margaery's arm so hard that she almost screamed in pain, "Don't hesitate any longer, your brother has promised to support me!" You will become queen, and the Tyrells will get everything they want, I swear in the name of the gods, old and new!"

The word "queen" broke the last of Margaery's hesitations, and she had run into walls since she stepped out of the bend, and finally thought she was going to survive, but Robert couldn't...... After several times, Rao is tenacious nerves tempered by the Queen of Thorns almost collapsed, and at this moment was the most fragile moment of her heart, the Duke of Stormland in front of her jumped out at the moment when she was almost drowning in despair, and handed her a life-saving straw!

Margaery shuddered and thought for a few seconds, then grabbed the straw that Lan Li handed her. She's fed up, she doesn't want to wait for any bullshit gods, since the gods in the sky don't give her the chance to become a queen, she has to create it on her own this time!

Determination didn't interfere with reason, and she immediately found the question: "But King's Landing's letter crow is also controlled by the maester invited by Lord Eddard, how do you send the message?"

"Go to the nearest city of Rosby and use their letter crow. Seeing that Margaery finally relented, Lan Li's eyes flashed with excitement: "Without further ado, we will leave as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow morning, and I promise you that the Rosby family will not only let me use the letter crow, but will also send someone to escort me west to join my army...... Maybe I might even use the power within King's Landing to make my breach of the city even smoother when I arrive with my army!"

"And me?"

"Just leave King's Landing and return to Riverbend, the army that is fighting in the west is too far to be brought back, but I think it shouldn't be difficult to gather another 350,000 nearby to help with the population and resources of Riverland. Lan Li let go of Margaery's arm: "You go back to your room now, have a good rest, and set off at dawn tomorrow, the sooner the better, if you can take this city before Stannis returns to King's Landing, or even capture Duke Ed alive, maybe you can force him to change his will and swear allegiance to me, and directly make me the rightful successor!"
