Chapter 566: Visiting Turmoil (I)
After a secret conversation with his henchmen, Egg lay back on his bed and continued to play dead.
Even if he was poisoned and unconscious, even if he did not appear in public for many days, he was still a man of the hour north of Neck, and he was closely watched by all parties, and there was an endless stream of people who came to visit.
Yesterday and this morning, the middle and high-ranking officers of the land-giving army, the leaders of the former tribes outside the Saiwai, etc., came one after another—Iger wanted these people to see that his physical condition was stable, and then let the low-level soldiers know that he was safe and sound, so that this army of tigers and wolves would not lose control and cause chaos because they felt that there was no Five Finger Mountain above their heads.
Now, the land giveaway army has all come to the inside, and it will be lined up at Stark's house in the afternoon.
It's not hard to understand why: although it was Egger and his land-givers who temporarily took control of Lindong, the Wolf family was the owner and owner of the castle after all - the "guest" was poisoned in his own home and almost died, and it was reasonable for the owner to show some guilt and concern.
The reason why it took two days was because the previous investigation had not yet been completed, and the members of the Stark family were also suspects, and they were still under the control and surveillance of the Land Grants and the Queen's Guard, until the "murderer" was arrested and committed suicide in prison, and they were completely innocent and regained their freedom.
Well, a certain degree of freedom.
"Squeak-"
The door was pushed open to the sound of a tooth-aching spindle, and the wolf family, who were still muttering to each other while outside, suddenly stopped talking, and the accompanying Maester Coben entered the house first, followed by Lady Catelyn, Roselyn Frey Stark with her daughter in her arms, and Rickon, Sansa, and Arya, all the Starks who were still alive except Robb and Bran, and the last additional family member, Mishela...... Or should I say that it is the adopted daughter Maeve Snow.
The mother who dragged a large group of people to visit was the temporary parent Caitlin, who was trying her best to protect the children, and tightened the not-so-sharp political string in her heart. Although it was Egger who had breached the castle with her army, she knew that it would be useless to protect her family if she was to become angry and angry, and the truth was that Egger was the only one in Winterfell who could control the wildlings, and one of the few who was willing to care about protecting them, at least pretending to be.
Even if he is a despicable and shameless hypocrite, when everyone is watching at this kind of time, he is still much better than the real evil - at least, the former will still be afraid of public opinion.
The children's safety can only be guaranteed if Iger is alive, and only when the Queen and the others feel that "the friendship between the Starks and Iger has not been broken by previous conflicts" will they continue to take their interests and feelings into account when making decisions and actions. Whether it is for the sake of the family's integrity, or to avoid losing her manners and falling into the truth, she has to lead everyone to come today and finish this scene.
The group lined up and approached the bed, looking at Egger lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and they all pursed their lips, the scene was so quiet that they could hear a needle falling to the ground.
This is an emotional drama for outsiders, they only need to be there, as long as they stay in the house enough time to complete the task, and in the face of the culprit who led the army to break through the castle not long ago, so that they lived a frightened house arrest life for a long time, a group of people can not bear to scold and curse in front of each other is already a rare restraint, how can there be extra greetings and topics to talk about?
Besides, Iger is unconscious now, and no matter how good it is, it's useless.
It was Catherine who broke the silence and showed concern.
"The Commander-in-Chief looks good, he should be able to wake up soon, right?"
"Theoretically, so. Cobain nodded and continued Catherine's words, "Judging from his physical condition alone, he is now indistinguishable from a healthy person - whether it is breathing, heartbeat, or body temperature. The reason why I am still sleepy is probably because my body still needs time to recuperate and repair the trauma to the brain and nerves caused by the poison. ”
The explanation is reasonable, and it is almost the same as the real thing.
According to the script, Egg should have woken up two days after the investigation reached an impasse, but now a real murderer who committed suicide suddenly appeared, and the unsolved case he set as a target took shape in advance, so naturally there was no need to delay any more time to make bitter tricks. Egger is going to officially announce his awakening tomorrow, and now that someone asks, he is naturally happy to release the trailer as soon as possible to do a good job of foreshadowing and building momentum.
"That's great, there are a lot of ingredients and medicines in the storeroom of Winterfell, and if Mr. Cobain needs it, I can take you to recognize it later. ”
"Thank you Madame for your generosity, if there is a real shortage of something, I will come to you to ask for a loan, and it will not be troublesome for the time being. ”
Caitlin pretended to care, and Bachelor Coburn knew she did, and the room fell silent again. Robb's wife's mind is mostly on the baby in her arms and she doesn't care about Egg's life or death, Sansa, the eldest sister who has not been tempered and transformed, is so nervous and dazed that her mind is blank, and Arya, who has always been close to Egg, is entangled in her heart and doesn't know what to say, only her younger brother Ricken ...... Because his beloved ice wolf "Hairy Dog" was killed by the hands of the Blackshirts in the night attack of the Land Grant Army in Lindong, he hated the people lying on the bed to the core.
Seeing that everyone was silent, he frowned, and solemnly raised the doubts in his heart: "Why...... Bad guys are always so hard, huh?"
I didn't say who I was referring to, but standing in front of Iger's hospital bed, with my mother Caitlyn and Cobain talking in front of them, what fool wouldn't understand the meaning?
Everyone was startled, and Catherine quickly pulled her youngest son to her side to stop him from continuing to speak, as for Cobain, who was standing next to him...... Knowing that it was impossible for Egger to deal with a child, he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and didn't hear it, and in the end, it was the Messira in the crowd who spoke out to solve the embarrassment.
"Since Lord Iger will wake up at any moment. After observing the room, the little princess keenly noticed a question, "Then why is there no one in the room to watch and wait?
"Uh......"
The little blind student discovered Hua Dian again, and Rao is as smart as Coben was suddenly asked.
Only the most critical few people know that Egger is playing dead, but these people all have a lot of things to do on their shoulders, and it is impossible for them to accompany the commander-in-chief in the ward all day...... And if the rest of the people who don't know are kept in the house, then in order to avoid leaking the news, Iger will be forced to lie down all the time, which will drive people crazy.
There are people who seem to be unconscious lying on the bed, and outsiders will get up and move and continue to work as soon as they leave, and this strange scene must not be seen by unrelated personnel or even the core of the land donor's own people, this is the reason why there is no servant in the room, but this reason cannot be explained.
Why is this little girl in Winterfell more difficult to deal with than the other?
"It's really not well thought out. After thinking about it, it seemed that only admitting the mistake would solve the problem, and Coben nodded modestly and admitted: "There should be someone in the room, but it could be going to the toilet or eating." I'll make arrangements to make sure that the Commander-in-Chief's room is accompanied by people around the clock. ”
Clever answer.
Iger closed his eyes and said to himself.
Just let it out, anyway, this little girl can't come and go freely in the land-giving army camp, and I'm afraid that she can come to supervise whether the care of herself is in place?
Naturally, it was impossible for Messella to express her doubts, so she could only nod her head in approval, and looked at Egger on the bed for two seconds, and suddenly showed surprise: "Hey, I seem to have seen Lord Egger's eyes move!"
