The Queen Mother's Ballroom in Mei Ge Lou.

It is said that it is a dance hall, but in fact, it has long ceased to dance, and has become a private space for the queen's personal leisure and reception.

On the south wall, there are all silver mirrors in the shape of bars. The silver mirror expands the sense of space, making the space of the Queen Mother's Ballroom appear larger and brighter. To the north, there are long and narrow glass windows, one after another, to ensure that plenty of natural light penetrates.

The door opens to the east, and on the right-hand side of the door there is a bar and a wine cabinet, and a passage separates the bar from the singer's performance area. And in the middle of the hall, a dance floor is designed to accommodate 100 people dancing in it.

To the west of the hall is the relaxation area, with fine tables and stools and a floor covered with animal skin blankets.

Night.

The relaxation area of the Queen Mother's Ballroom welcomed several important ministers: Littlefinger, Octopus Spider, Great Master, and Captain of the Imperial Guard. At present, the kingdom lacks a prime minister, a minister of justice, a minister of the sea, and three important ministers of the seven imperial palaces.

This meeting was convened by Queen Cersei, and the discussion was related to the Magic Mountain.

Ever since Eddard Stark mysteriously disappeared from the dungeon, the mountain has been furious and has gone berserk. This made the Queen Mother and the royal courtiers very uneasy.

This afternoon, Magic Mountain killed a jailer in front of the Queen Mother and her courtiers, and his officers captured Genos, the commander of King's Landing's garrison.

Genos was Queen Cersei's man, and when it came to capturing Eddard Stark and propagating Joffrey to the throne, Genos made a big deal.

Genos is the hero. But Cersei watched as the people of the Magic Mountain tied up Genos and didn't say a word for Genos.

The Queen Mother hated what Genos said when she defended herself to the Magic Mountain: Her Majesty the Queen Mother can prove that what I said is true.

Cersei presided over the massacre of Eddard Stark's guards and captured Eddard Stark, and the courtiers knew about the bloody Throne Hall, but Queen Cersei didn't like it to be brought up in public.

Cersei tore up the will of the former King Robert, arrested Eddard, the prime minister of the Seven Kingdoms, killed the prime minister's guards, and washed the prime minister's tower in blood, Cersei didn't want anyone to mention them, which was her taboo.

When Genos was captured by the Magic Mountain, he personally said that he had cut Watt's throat, and that Queen Mother Cersei could prove that these things could only be done, not spoken, and not promoted as honor. At the very least, superficial justice is honorable, and Cersei still wants it.

Now that the political situation is unstable, Ed has fled without a trace, and the courtiers are panicking, Cersei doesn't want to stand up and prove how Genos slaughtered Eddard's guards.

Genos's death Cersei didn't care, but the magic mountain captured Genos and killed the jailer without her nod, and didn't ask Cersei's opinion before moving, which was something Cersei was very unhappy about, and she couldn't tolerate it, like a stab in the throat.

The Magic Mountain is the vicious dog of the Lannister family, and is the favorite general of Tywin Lannister, but if the vicious dog does not obey the master's orders to bite people, it is not the dog that the owner likes.

That's exactly what Cersei is in now.

If Moshan can listen to her and kill and arrest people, she has no problem with what Moshan has done.

This evening, more than 1,000 unsightly infantry from the Magic Mountain also entered the Red Fort. The Red Keep is the king's palace, and vassals are not allowed to bring troops into the palace unless ordered by the king, although the Magic Mountain is a vassal of the Lannister family, but this is also very taboo.

Queen Cersei and King Joffrey did not say anything about this, and the courtiers dared not speak out.

Cersei said: "The Magic Mountain was originally a vassal of my Lannister family, and his allegiance is also to my Lannister, now is the time to employ people, we should have felt safer and stronger because of the arrival of the Magic Mountain, but he did not consult me for killing and arresting people, and the king did not know that the Magic Mountain killed the jailer to capture Commander Genos in Megaru. ”

Cersei was annoyed with the Magic Mountain.

Scholar Paisil said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean to do?"

"Moshan is not a royal courtier, nor is he a royal magistrate, he has no right to kill and arrest people directly. Cersei said, "You're all important ministers, so what can I think of to make the mountain understand that he needs my or Joffrey's consent before he kills and arrests people."

A disobedient dog is not a good dog.

Barristan Sermi said: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, this matter is easy, I will go to the Magic Mountain and explain to him that he must obtain the consent of Her Majesty the Queen Mother and Her Majesty the King to arrest and kill people in the future. ”

"What if he won't listen?"

Then it will be dealt with according to the laws of the land. Barristan Sayri said.

Littlefinger chuckled: "Sir Barristan, I'm a coward, anyway, the magic mountain scares me when he glares at me." If he is dealt with according to the law, the Demon Mountain will have to pay for the jailer he killed this afternoon! His cavalry and infantry are fierce, and their numbers are only two hundred fewer than the garrison of King's Landing, who dares to arrest him?"

"Me!"

Littlefinger smiled: "Sir Barristan, I have never doubted your courage and swordsmanship, but I know that if you enter the barracks of the Magic Mountain to arrest him, you will not be able to get out of his barracks one hundred percent." ”

Barristan said, "I'm not afraid of death!"

"You are dead, and the problem of Moshan not obeying the orders of the Queen Mother still cannot be solved. Moshan is the queen mother's retainer, you are the queen mother's iron guard, everyone works for the queen mother, now is not the time for their own infighting, how to think of a clever way to remind Moshan to listen to the orders of Her Majesty the Queen Mother. This matter will definitely not be solved with a sword, because no one's sword is longer than the Demon Mountain, and no one's sword is heavier than the Demon Mountain. ”

Barristan Stopper.

"What should I do with Lord Petyr's words?" said Barristan smirkedly.

"Eddard Stark suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, and the Magic Mountain was ordered to take Eddard Stark to the Westlands to see Duke Tywin, he couldn't complete his mission, and he was impatient. This also shows the loyalty of the Magic Mountain to the Lannisters. We can only tell him from the moral point of loyalty that in King's Landing, in the Red Keep, in the palace, obeying the orders of Her Majesty the Queen Mother and Her Majesty the King, just like obeying the orders of the Duke of Tywin in the West, is the highest loyalty, which may make the Magic Mountain wake up and restrain some of his own behavior. ”

Varys coughed: "Demon Mountain Bravery, this time I came to King's Landing to take Ed to the West, in order to prevent people from robbing Ed on the road, he brought cavalry and infantry here, all on the orders of Duke Tywin." Moshan is a rough man, he only has a task in mind, he has followed Duke Tywin for twenty years, and he has long been accustomed to obeying the orders of Duke Tywin alone. Anyone else, the magic mountain doesn't care. ”

Everyone nodded their heads.

"I have the idea to send Scholar Hill to imitate the handwriting of Duke Tywin, and to imitate the tone of Duke Tywin, and write a letter from Duke Tywin asking him to obey the orders of Her Majesty the Queen Mother and Her Majesty the King in King's Landing. ”

Cersei was overjoyed.

Littlefinger and the octopus-clawed spider are indeed scheming and clever, and what seemed to her to be anxious and helpless was solved by these two guys in a few words. Barristan is a complete fool by comparison. Fellow Paisher is indeed old.

"That's it!" Cersei said, a smile welling up in her eyes and lightening up.

The Great Master of Paisil said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, there is no problem with imitating the tone and handwriting of Duke Tywin, but it just so happens that Ed is missing, and the Magic Mountain has lost his temper and has limited us to find clues within three days, and hand over Eddard Stark within a week for him to take away." Coincidentally, Duke Tywin sent a letter ordering the Mountain to follow the orders of Her Majesty the Queen Mother and Her Majesty the King in King's Landing. ”

"Magic Mountain is a rough man. "He's not going to notice that." ”

Littlefinger smiled and said, "Scholar, even if the Demon Mountain has suspicions, he will only know the truth when he returns to the Western Realm." At the moment, the most important thing for us is to solve the case, capture Eddard Stark, and stabilize the magic mountain and not mess around. ”

Master Paisil said, "Okay, since Her Majesty the Queen Mother also approves, I will handle this matter." Tomorrow morning, I will take out the letter written by Duke Tywin to the Magic Mountain and read it to Her Majesty the Queen Mother. ”

The next morning.

Because of the sudden disappearance of Eddard Stark from the underground black prison, everyone had their own concerns, so they all came to the court early, and no one dared to delay it.

Joffrey I, Queen Cersei, Ilin Pine, the Hound Sandor Cregan, twenty red-robed warriors from the West, thirty garrisons of the capital, royal ministers, royal guards, courtiers, noblewomen, and ladies all gathered together.

The corridors of the throne hall were filled with people who had come to petition.

Joffrey sat on the Iron Throne, his eyes looked out through the door of the throne hall, and he saw that the corridor was full of untouchables who had come to petition with trepidation, and he was excited and confused that he could show his ingenuity and handle the affairs of the kingdom cleanly, and he was puzzled why so many people came to petition every day, and it was really hateful that these people did not do their jobs well, and thought of petitioning and framing others every day.

Queen Cersei sat on a red-carpeted chair today, with her waist straight, much to Joffrey's displeasure. His Iron Throne was covered with cold, hard iron, and it was uncomfortable to sit on. He once asked the servant to lay out a blanket, but his mother and the important ministers unanimously opposed, so he had to give up. He sat uncomfortably, and when he saw his mother sitting comfortably, he felt awkward.

Last night he had been ready to talk to his mother about who was the king, who knew what kind of meeting his mother and several of his important ministers were going to have, he waited left and right, and in the end his mother did not come until he fell asleep.

This caused Joffrey to splash milk in the face of a maid at breakfast this morning, and when his mother heard the maid's screams and came to ask, Joffrey said that he was the king, and that the maid was so proud that he could not bear it, and decided to teach the maid a lesson, so he threw it as he wanted.

His mother sent the maid away, and arranged for the maid to treat her burns, and Joffrey hoped that his mother would understand his heart, that he was the king.

The maid who was burned by the hot milk was Cersei's former handmaiden, and when Joffrey ascended the throne, Cersei placed her favorite maid by Joffrey's side to take care of him, causing Joffrey to think that his mother was deliberately spying on him.

Joffrey's gaze withdrew from the corridor outside, searching for Sansa among the courtiers, and he saw Sansa talking to a noble lady beside her, with a sweet smile on her face. The anger in Joffrey's heart burned uncontrollably.

The father of this rebellious daughter escaped from the dungeon yesterday, and she dared to be so happy in his presence today, which was an insult to the majesty and self-esteem of the king.

"Sansa!" Joffrey suddenly exclaimed.

In the throne hall, people were still whispering hello and nodding to each other, and the nobles would have a brief period of free whispering and communication before the official meeting was announced. King Joffrey's outbursts interrupted the 'harmonious' atmosphere.

Sansa Stark was startled.

Queen Cersei, who was next to the king, was also startled, and the entire hall was immediately silenced, no one dared to speak again, and everyone was stunned.

"Come out!" Joffrey's mouth turned up, his face full of contempt.

Sansa shuddered as she walked out of the queue. She was carefully dressed today, wearing a velvet gown and a white mink shawl given to her by Joffrey, looking dignified and beautiful, and with an elegant temperament.

Joffrey saw the panic in Sansa's eyes, which made him feel happy.

"Your father, Eddard Stark, is the kingdom's great traitor, and I intended to spare his life by treating him lightly, but he dared to command the traitor remnant to rescue him from the dungeon. You are his daughter, with his rebellious blood in your veins, who will teach me a lesson to the daughter of a traitor in order to preserve the dignity of the royal family and the honor of the king. ”

"Yes, I will!" said Malintlán, the Kingsguard.

"Slap her for me. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Malintland strode over to Sansa, who shivered. A loud snap was heard, and Malintlan's iron-gloved palm struck Sansa's right cheek with a brutal flesh sound. Sansa fell to the ground from the slap, her right half of her body was numb, and thousands of songworms chirped together in her right ear.

The ladies and ladies in the hall screamed in fright.

The red-robed monk Thoros and the Earl of Black Harbor, Berry Dondelien, were dumbfounded and incredulous. Sir Barristan was dumbfounded, and then anger rose in his heart. He looked back at the king, who was jubilant and writhing on the Iron Throne, his handsome face full of joy and triumphant radiance.

"Sir Marlin, Sansa is still my fiancée, don't slap her face. I want her face to be beautiful. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Malintlan pulled Sansa up, and Sansa could no longer stand still, half of her body was numb, her head was booming, the right side of her face was oozing blood, and thousands of songworms were chirping wildly in her ears. Her beautiful eyes widened, and everything in front of her was shaking, twisting, stretching, overlapping, and deforming.

The shadows were dark, as if haunted by evil spirits, and King Joffrey's laughter was harsh and terrible, as if it came from hell.

"Eddard Stark, you're really fast, thank Sansa for taking it for you. Sir Marlin, I want the werewolf girl to beg me for mercy. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Sir Marlin grabbed Sansa with one hand to prevent her from falling, and with the other he clenched into a fist and struck Sansa in the lower abdomen with an uppercut.

Sansa is bent into a small shrimp. Even though Sir Marlin grabbed her shoulders hard, she couldn't stand. Sir Marlin let go, and Sansa slid to the ground like ooze.

The punch made Sansa's organs cramp, and she felt like she was going to die in the next heartbeat.

"Oh!" exclaimed some of the ladies and gentlemen, and stretched out their hands to hide their faces.

Joffrey clapped his hands and applauded, "Sir Marlin, ask her if she would like to beg for mercy, and if she begs for mercy, and testifies that Eddard Stark is a great traitor, and admits that she is a minor traitor, I will spare her." ”

Queen Cersei woke up from her surprise and said in a low and hurried voice, "Joffrey, stop!"

"Shut up!" Joffrey looked at his mother defiantly, the corners of his mouth turned up, and a contemptuous smile hung up, "Mother, I'm the king, and you've been a little too much lately." ”

Cersei suffocated!

Joffrey's face bloomed with a smile like spring, and his mother was dumbfounded by his words, he was too powerful.

"Sir Marlin, ask if Sansa Ken has begged for mercy?"

Marlin lifted Sansa from the ground, the panic and fear in Sansa's eyes disappeared, blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, she looked at Malintlan with calm eyes, and said softly, "You are not worthy to be a knight." ”

Malintlan was furious, and he raised his palm high to mark Sansa's other cheek with blood, but he remembered that the king had said not to slap her face, and that the king wanted his fiancée's face to be beautiful. He slowly lowered his palms into fists, Sansa's calm eyes finally flashed with fear again, her body began to tremble, and her eyes were full of despair......

Malintlan's face began to contort, his fists clenched, raised in the air, and shook slightly, ready to slam Sansa's stomach......

"Stop!" a tall figure appeared at the gate of the Iron Throne, and the two words were as majestic and irresistible as thunder.

The Magic Mountain came, and his right hand was still holding a bloody person, as if he was carrying a small toy.

Malintran sneered: "Magic Mountain, this is the throne hall, I am the Imperial Guard, and I am carrying out the king's orders. ”

"Stop, or I'll kill you!" Demon Mountain said coldly, "If you don't believe it, then give it a try." ”

Malintlan's raised fist stiffened in the air. His face turned ugly, and he turned his head to look at King Joffrey on the Iron Throne, hoping that the king would speak for him.

Ser Marlin, however, saw the fear in the King's eyes.

As soon as the magic mountain came, as soon as it sounded, the king was afraid.

His Majesty is still a child!

Malintlan let go of Sansa, lowered her fist, and stepped back, her face pale.

Sansa paused again.

The Magic Mountain strode over and held out his hand to Sansa, "Miss, are you alright?"

Sansa wanted to cry, and her whole body felt like she was falling apart. But she's Stark, and she can't cry. The Magic Mountain is not a good person, Sansa did not put her hand on the Magic Mountain's hand, she rested on the ground for a while, and slowly stood up on her own. The right side of her face had begun to swell, she wiped the bright red blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes glazed over, and she silently walked into the queue of courtiers, standing still, although her hands and feet were still shaking.

The Magic Mountain threw the bloody man in his hand on the ground and said, "Malintlan, do you think you are a knight more honorable than me?" he came to Malintlan's front and stared at him condescendingly.

Malintlan saw the giant hand of the Magic Mountain spread out and slowly raised it, and the hand of the Magic Mountain was the same as his, and he was also wearing iron gloves.
