The Heavens: The Magical World Begins with The Lord of the Rings

Chapter 277

Faced with Queen Cersei's doubts about the fairness of the trial, King Robert, as the presiding judge of the trial, felt insulted.Feeling annoyed, he almost roared to Sir Barristan, ordering him to take Queen Cersei away from the scene of the trial meeting first.

After receiving the order, Sir Barristan hesitated for a moment, and finally came to Cersei Lannister helplessly according to the order.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness!" He stared at the queen in front of him with embarrassment: "The king is angry now, and he ordered me to take you out of here. Please don't make things difficult for me."

"Hmph! Don't bother Sir Barristan to send me out, I know how to leave Joffrey and Tommen, let's go" Cersei Lannister snorted coldly, and then left the throne with her two children Hall, when she passed King Robert before leaving, she still gave her husband a cold look.

Seeing the back of the queen leaving with the two children, the expression on King Robert's face was a little cloudy, and no one knew what was going on in his heart right now.
After Queen Cersei left, Grand Maester Pycelle walked into the throne room with the support of two Winterfell guards.He leaned heavily on a twisted cane, and his legs were shaking constantly as he walked.It seems that he has had a hard time staying in the barracks for the past two days, and there are only a few white whiskers left on the long chicken neck.

Jory and others did not shackle the old man's hands and feet, but he was still too weak, so the judges specially prepared tables and chairs to allow him to sit down at the trial site and accept interrogation.

"Grand Maester Pycelle!" Ed Stark got up and came to Pycelle, and took out the "Tears of Rhys" he found from his room and placed it in front of him, "Do you know this person?" A bottle of poison? This bottle of poison was found in your study, where did you get this bottle of poison?"

"The name of this poison bottle is 'Tears of Lys', Lord Stark." Pycelle replied tremblingly, "I bought it from an alchemist from the other side of the strait, and it is very rare. and precious."

"Could you explain the effect of this vial of poison to me and His Majesty Robert?"

"Of course, Lord Stark!" Pycelle said to himself, "I know them all well."

"Although I have not personally fed this poison to people, the alchemist who sold me this bottle of poison once described its characteristics to me. Its taste is sweet and watery, and it can be mixed into any wine or water, even the most nose Not even the most sensitive hounds can detect the presence of this poison."

Pychel continued to introduce to everyone at the trial meeting: "It can disturb the stomach of the poisoned person, make the poisoned person die as if he had an intestinal disease, and it will not leave any traces afterwards."

"Grand Maester Pycelle, I heard that you once treated the former Prime Minister Jon Arryn after he was seriously ill." Gao Yuan asked him loudly after sitting down again, "In your opinion, the former Prime Minister was Are the symptoms shown when you are sick the same as the symptoms when you are poisoned by this poison?"

"This. I don't know. Lord Gao Yuan." When Gao Yuan asked whether it was possible that Jon Arryn had been poisoned with this kind of poison, the Grand Maester Pycelle immediately began to speak vaguely.

"Master Paicell, I solemnly warn you now!" Gao Yuan warned him sharply, "This trial meeting was held under the witness of the Seven Gods, you should be very clear that you lied on this sacred occasion. What consequences!"

"We haven't started to hold you accountable for the unfavorable rescue of the former prime minister, the possession of poison and poor storage. If you choose to deliberately conceal or lie at the trial meeting of the murderer who killed the former prime minister, it will It is not conducive to your subsequent trial."

"Let me tell you, Mr. Gao Yuan. I will tell you everything honestly." When Pai Xier heard that he wanted to pursue his own responsibility, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly confessed that he had confessed everything.

"The symptoms shown by the former Prime Minister when he was ill are indeed consistent with the symptoms shown when he was hit by the 'Tears of Rees'." Pycell reorganized his testimony, "So now I can conclude In conclusion, the former Prime Minister was indeed fed 'Tears of Reese' at that time."

"Slander, you are blatantly slandering me!" Littlefinger, who had been keeping quiet all this time, suddenly started to yell, "You have never found this poisonous smell from the former Prime Minister, why do you judge Jon? Arryn died of this poison."

"Also, why do you say that I gave this poison to Lysa Ayrin, maybe someone else handed it to her, or maybe she found someone to buy this poison on her own."

"I think Sir Hugh explained it very clearly in front of His Majesty Robert and us just now!" Gao Yuan smiled at him, "It was you who stole this bottle of Tears of Rhys from Grand Maester Pycelle. ', and gave the vial to Lysa Arryn during their tryst, and instructed her to poison her husband with it."

"My gods!" Eddard Stark's face was filled with grief and indignation, "Jon Arryn, what did he do to hinder you, so that you wanted to kill him like this? What an amiable and kind man he is! Trustworthy one, you deserve the seven hells for this, Petyr."

"Why? Why did you choose this time?" Robert Baratheon also asked, "Jon Arryn has been Prime Minister for 14 years. What did he do to force you to Is it okay to kill him?"

"Don't tell me that it's because of your messy affairs with Lysa Arryn. That's just your excuse. Did someone instruct you to do this?"

"Because he asked too many questions!" Seeing that the testimony of the two important witnesses had exposed his lies, Littlefinger finally stopped concealing them, "No one ordered me to do this."

"Your Majesty Robert, Lord Stark, the witness Pycelle's testimony has not yet been finished, can you wait for Pycelle to finish his own testimony before interrogating Petyr Baelish?" Gao Yuan said Ask the king for his opinion.

Robert Baratheon nodded in agreement, and then motioned Ed Stark to continue questioning the witness: "Ned, you continue to do what you should do."

"Pycelle, can you tell us how Petyr Baelish stole it from you?" Eddard Stark asked, walking up to Pycelle.

"Of course." Pycelle sat on the witness stand and began to breathe a little short of breath. It was obvious that his body was not strong enough to support him to stay and continue to testify, but he still told the truth of the matter intermittently.

"That day Littlefinger suddenly went to my place and found me. He wanted to know from me how to kill a person quietly without being noticed by other people around him or His Majesty Robert." Pycelle spoke extremely slowly, "Although he didn't say it clearly at the time, I know that the person he was talking about was actually Lord Jon Arryn."

King Robert asked, "How did you know that the man Petyr Baelish was talking about was the former Hand?"

"Because he once mentioned to me that man would drink a glass of summer red every day with his meal. Of all the people I know, only the former Prime Minister drank with his meal. Your Majesty Robert, you don't just drink with your meal. Drinking from time to time," Pacelle replied.

"I warned him sternly at the time, don't do this and don't pretend not to be discovered! Because this is almost impossible, there is no impenetrable wall in this world." Pycelle continued, "I know how tight the protection around the former Prime Minister was, and Lord Varys's little bird has been listening. He has long realized that he is in danger, and has been careful to guard against being framed by others."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't be planning to send his wife to the Eagle's Nest, and his son to Dragonstone to be raised by Lord Stannis." When he said this, Pycelle paused for a moment and took a few breaths. The rough breath made everyone present worry for a while, for fear that he would not be able to catch his breath and die suddenly in the throne room.

"Littlefinger told me that he naturally has a way to get close to the other party, as long as it can prevent His Majesty Robert, you and others from seeing the clues." Pycelle said, "According to this, I have reason to suspect Baelish His Excellency had already bought someone close to the former Prime Minister His Excellency."

"It's just that I didn't expect that the person who joined hands with Lord Baelish to murder Lord Arryn turned out to be his wife Lysa Arryn."

"Because I don't want to be Lord Baelish's accomplice, no matter whether the person he is talking about is Lord Jon Arryn or not, I don't want to help him kill people." Pycelle said, "Therefore, I didn't use 'Rys' Tears' to him, in fact I did not give him any poison, nor did I offer him any advice or help."

Pycelle's testimony had many inconsistencies with what Eddard Stark had told him when he was interrogated.He clearly knew that this was intentionally done by Pai Sear, in order to wash away his crimes, but Ed did not choose to expose the other party's lies here.

The public questioning of the woman from the Lannister family just now has cast a haze of injustice on this trial.He didn't want to cause the trial to fall into a situation they didn't want to see because of these "little" flaws in Pycell's testimony.

"Since you said that you didn't give the bottle of poison to Petyr, then how does Petyr explain the bottle of 'Tears of Lys' that Petyr said he took from you? It is impossible for Petyr to buy another bottle Such a poison, and then find a way to blame you?" King Robert questioned, "This is simply too stupid, he can't let others know that he poisoned Jon Eyre just to frame you Forest."

"Based on your one-sided words, it is really unconvincing. Who knows if you really handed over the 'Tears of Rees' to the other party."

"It was that villain Petyr Baelish who stole the bottle of poison from me, Your Majesty Robert!" Robert Baratheon's question immediately aroused Pycelle, and he began to accuse with tears , "For this I can swear in the name of the old and new gods, I really did not give him the bottle of poison, he stole it from my room himself."

"Since he came to me last time, I have lost a bottle of 'Tears of Rhys' on my storage shelf." Pycelle wailed, "Before and after, no one has entered Through my room, who else could it be if he didn't steal it from Petyr?"

"Your Majesty Robert has now heard your testimony, and you can go down now." Eddard Stark nodded and gestured to the audience, "Jory, bring back our Grand Maester Pycelle." Go to the barracks, and let no one have a chance to touch him, and he will be judged by His Majesty Robert."

In an instant, several guards from Winterfell surrounded Pycelle, and he seemed very scared now.I don't know whether Pycelle is afraid of the upcoming trial, or whether he is afraid of returning to the dark barracks.

When he was carried by Jory and others to pass in front of Ed Stark, he was still murmuring that he was innocent and other nonsense.

Whether Pycelle is innocent or not, I'm afraid only he himself knows.Maybe after the king's trial, everyone present will know, but judging from the fearful expression on his face when he was taken away, Gao Yuan judged that the other party must know that he was guilty, and the crime he committed It might not be that simple.

"We've heard all the witnesses now," announced Robert Baratheon, leaning forward and asking Littlefinger, "Petyr of House Baelish, are you able to appear in court for you?" A defense witness who testified?"

"Your Majesty Robert, the only person who can testify for me is still in Eyrie." Petyr Baelish looked up at the king's indifferent blue eyes, with a playful smile on his face , "You keep saying that I and Lysa Tully murdered the former Prime Minister, or we wait until Lady Lysa comes to the throne room before proceeding with the trial."

"Lysa Arryn is as heinous as you, she is also one of the culprits who murdered Lord Jon Arryn, and she also committed the crime of kinslaughter, Lysa Arryn will definitely be spurned by the gods "Gao Yuan declared righteously, "Petyr Baelish, you will never have the chance to see her again, and she will not escape the judgment of the gods after you are convicted, Lysa Arryn will stand trial in the Vale."

"Petyr Baelish, do you want to defend yourself since there are no witnesses to defend you?" King Robert asked him.

Petyr Baelish, who was standing in the center of the hall, shook his head upon hearing this, and King Robert asked again: "You admit that you and Lysa Arryn poisoned the former Prime Minister Jon Arryn?" ?”

"I have nothing to say about this. I think I am innocent, but no matter how hard I try to defend myself, it will be futile, because you have already found me guilty at the beginning of this trial conference. " Littlefinger said, "Regarding the death of the former Prime Minister Jon Arryn, the answer I can give is that I am innocent. I believe this answer will not satisfy you."

"Don't make yourself so innocent, Petyr Baelish!" Gao Yuan suddenly interrupted the other party's speech, "Your Majesty Robert, the Prime Minister and I have given you the opportunity to defend yourself, and You took the initiative to give up this precious opportunity."

"Arrogant charity!" Littlefinger suddenly yelled towards the stage, "Duke Gaoyuan, the expression on your face now is the same as that of Duke Hoster when he drove me out of Riverrun, full of arrogance and arrogance. arrogant."

Gao Yuan also sneered secretly when he heard the words: "Petyr Baelish, the reason why you were driven out of Riverrun back then may not be known to other people present, so don't you, Little Finger, know?"

"After you did the things that shamed the Tully family, the Duke of Tully was able to spare your life. This is because of your father's face and years of friendship."

"What did I do wrong back then?" Littlefinger asked back, "What you said was done by Lysa Tully while I was unconscious, and the people who shamed the Tully family should also She was right, not me who didn't know about it!"

"What I committed was an even more horrific crime." Littlefinger spread his arms and turned to face the crowd, "My crime is because I came from a lowly family in the Five Fingers Peninsula, so I was born to bear these unreasonable slanders and insults." guilt."

"Horst Tully, Catelyn Tully, Jon Arryn, Robert Baratheon, Eddard Stark, and you, Lord Gofar!" Littlefinger pointed at Gaoyuan angrily. , "No matter how hard I try, you guys of noble birth will always look down on me!"

Faced with Littlefinger's hysterical accusations, King Robert remained silent, Ed Stark frowned, and Gao Yuan shook his head slightly disappointed.Gao Yuan turned his head and looked at King Robert who was sitting among them: "Your Majesty Robert, I think we don't need to waste any more time, let's directly announce the final judgment!"
