Mei Zuo seemed to have anticipated Liu Qian's doubts, took a step forward, carefully took out a roll of slightly old parchment from the wide sleeve robe, and respectfully presented it with both hands:
"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I am here to report to you, I have investigated the motives of the Tyrell family and found nothing, but I have found something strange, the Tyrell family seems to have hired someone in the old town to find a good painter to paint a portrait of Margery Tyrell, the precious daughter of the Duke of Metz."
Liu Qian unfolded the parchment.
The edges of the drawing paper are a little worn, obviously passed by many people,
In the painting, there is a young girl with a delicate face, a youth that has not yet faded between her eyebrows and eyes, a quiet and shy smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes are as clear as a forest deer, revealing a silent innocence and softness.
Mezzo added: "This is what I got from the children in the old town, and the Duke of Metz invited many good painters to paint his daughter, and produced a considerable amount of scrap manuscripts, and this is one of them." "
"Children" is the name Mezzo gave to the intelligence officers, benchmarking Varys' "little birds".
Liu Qian lowered his head again, looked at the immature girl like a deer in the portrait, and suddenly realized.
"I see....""
Liu Qian sneered at the corner of his mouth.
Although he was familiar with the plot, because he came too early, some things happened early.
In the original book, Lanley and Tyrell conspired to dedicate Margaret to Robert in order to abolish Cersei and make Margaery queen.
On the way Eddard Stark was taken by Robert to King's Landing as Prime Minister, Lan Li showed Duke Ed's portrait of Margaret during the greeting procession, and Lan Li's original intention was to test whether Duke Ed's Margaret looked like Lyanna, so as to better complete the change plan.
Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that Lan Li would actually advance this matter so early.
What does Lan Li want to do after promoting the change?
Liu Qian suddenly felt a trace of vigilance in his heart.
Although Lan Li died the earliest in the War of the Five Kings, he was the only normal person among the five kings.
Liu Qian also believed that Lan Li was definitely qualified to be a king.
He was elegant, tolerant and generous, good at winning people's hearts, and enjoyed a high reputation among the nobility and the people.
If it weren't for the magic of the red-robed witch, I am afraid he would have ascended the Iron Throne long ago.
Moreover, for Lan Li acting as a guest between Robert and the Tyrell family, Liu Qian did not understand Lan Li's true intentions even if he had read the original work.
He hates Lannisters?
This reason is not very sufficient.
He wants to ascend the Iron Throne?
There is no doubt that Lan Li has this ambition,
But after the change, he must not be allowed to go one step further from the Iron Throne, because he didn't know that Cersei's children were all Jaime's seeds at this time.
Unless... He wanted Margaret to become pregnant with his own seed after Margaret ascended the throne of the queen, and then asked Robert to declare Margaret's child as the heir, thus stealing the Iron Throne,
After all, Lanley dessert wine and beer are delicious.
He can not only have a relationship with Loras, but also not reject anyone of the opposite sex.
But can this really work?
Liu Qian felt that Lan Li was a little optimistic.
However, he can be regarded as having a bargaining chip to deal with Lan Li, and he can command his army at any time.
He raised his head to look at Mezzo: "Who is the person sent by the Seven Nations to sign the treaty?" "
Mezzo smiled meaningfully: "The brother of the King of the Seven Kingdoms, the Minister of the Sea, the Duke of Dragonstone, Stannis Baratheon. "
Liu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "How much does the king of the Seven Kingdoms hate his younger brother?" "
He could already imagine Stannis' stiff face when he received the news.
The Seven Nations Mission was led by Ed Stark, but Robert was unwilling to let Duke Edd sign the treaty, but sent another person all the way to sign it, making it clear that he did not want Duke Edd to be stained with this disgraceful stigma.
In view of Robert's famous illegitimate son, Edric Storm, was conceived in Stannis' marriage bed with the young lady of the Florian family.
This arrangement can be said to be very Robert.
The king poops, and the younger brother wipes the shit.
Telossi, the residence of the G7 mission.
The atmosphere in the room was so solemn that it could almost drip water.
The heavy velvet curtains block out part of the sunlight and the hustle and bustle outside the window, but they make the oppressive feeling in the room even heavier.
Everyone had just finished circulating the letter from King's Landing, and the cold seal and harsh wording on the parchment were pressing on everyone's hearts.
The first news was that Duke Stannis Baratheon would come to sign the treaty as the king's plenipotentiary with reparations.
Ed Stark held the letter, his knuckles slightly white.
He had mixed feelings in his heart.
On the one hand, he thanked Robert for not letting him sign it, and on the other hand, he felt that Robert was too mean to Stannis, which made him a little unbearable.
If Stannis signs this name, he will become a joke for the entire Seven Kingdoms.
However, the purpose of everyone gathering here is not this, but the second news issued by the imperial meeting.
It's not so much a message as an order.
After the Seven Kingdoms Mission relayed to King's Landing that the Targaryen remnants were living in Tylosi and trying to marry the Orienters, King Robert and the former Prime Minister Jon Arryn were shocked and ordered the Seven Kingdoms to kill the Targaryen siblings no matter what.
With a faint smile on his little finger, he glanced at Duke Edward: "My lord, this time His Majesty's order is for us to get rid of those brothers and sisters, and we can buy murder, or poison them." "
Harman Uhler, the Earl of Dorne's Hellgate Fortress, sneered: "Poisoned? To two children like this, Lord Littlefinger, you are not afraid of angering the gods. "
Littlefinger touched the beard on his chin and smiled, "Look, what a benevolent Dorben, your words almost made me forget that Dorn is the favorite place of the Seven Kingdoms to kill people with poison." "
Harman continued to choke: "Then we won't poison the child either." "
Littlefinger stood up and walked: "Let's recall history, in the First War of Dorn, how Weil of Vail City poisoned the young deer tun and the ancient oak city, and his behavior was much more hateful than poisoning children.."
Haman's old face was like being slapped twice, and the methods of war of the Dorns had always been brutal, and they really had no right to criticize others.
Duke Ed scolded the two: "Enough! "
He looked at Count Harman and said, "We won't poison these two children, it's not an honor: :"
Littlefinger showed a shocked expression: "Master Ed, are you crazy? This is an order from His Majesty the King, and it has been passed by the Imperial Council, especially the Prime Minister, and you cannot make arbitrary claims. "
Duke Edward's face showed a struggle: "I will return to King's Landing to explain to His Majesty and the Prime Minister: :"
Everyone in the room looked at each other and stopped speaking.
Anyway, it was Ed Stark's request, and he took the blame if he wanted to take the blame.
Duke Edward looked at the various delegations and continued to talk about Stannis signing the treaty.
