Although he decided to confirm the dragon egg the next day, when Renly woke up, he had no desire to get up.

His short body was deeply sunken in the soft feather bed, his blue eyes looked at the slowly floating sea-blue curtain above without any focus, and he felt as if he was not wearing anything. He touched it with his hand, and it was true.

Renly couldn't figure out how he got into bed. The last impression he had was that he was taking a bath, then fell asleep, and then...

With that fireplace, how could he sleep so soundly?

He secretly blamed himself for being careless, and then Renly felt a little headache.

It was not a headache, but a real headache. At the same time, he also felt that his throat was dry, his nose was a little blocked, and he seemed to have no strength all over his body.

Caught a cold? Caught a cold?

The boy lying on the bed couldn't help frowning, then raised his arm to look at his little hand, gestured for a while, and then he sighed.

"It would be a joke if a time traveler died of a fever."

Thinking of this, Renly looked around, then stretched out his arm with difficulty to touch the gilded bell on the bedside table.

A crisp sound rang out, and not long after, a black-haired maid hurried in, and then after discovering the boy's condition, she hurried out the door to find a maester for treatment.

In this era, even a common cold can kill people, especially for fragile children.

Medical conditions are limited, and even the king's children can hardly guarantee that they will live to adulthood smoothly, let alone ordinary civilians or even farmers.

Fortunately, Renly's luck was pretty good when he was reincarnated, and someone would come to treat him in time when he was sick. So after a while, a bald old man with a neat and beautiful white beard named Pycelle came in with a medicine box, and then, under Renly's stunned gaze, he used silver pliers to pick out a twisting black leech from it.

"What do you want to do?"

"Bloodletting is not a common method, but it is very effective. But you are too young, child, to be treated with formal bloodletting, so I need to use leeches. Don't worry, it's actually not that scary."

"I just caught a cold, why do I need bloodletting?" Renly asked in astonishment. He had caught a cold when he was at Storm's End, but at that time Maester Cressen mostly prescribed him potions. Although they felt useless, they were not as exaggerated as they are now.

"Of course this is very necessary. We all know that diseases are body fluids in the human body - ahem, I mean, child, don't worry, you will be cured in no time."

"I don't need this." Renly looked at the other person like a fool.

How can you treat a cold and fever with bloodletting? This thing is very unreliable at first glance. And if I remember correctly, the founding president of a superpower in the previous life was killed by bloodletting.

"Good boy, it's just a little uncomfortable, it won't hurt too much, come on--" The old man ignored the black-haired boy's refusal, lifted Renly's arm by himself, and then prepared to put the leech down.

Seeing this, the boy quickly retracted his arm, and then faced the old man with a white beard, narrowed his eyes and threatened: "If you dare to put it on my arm, I will go to Robert and say that you molested my maid."

The old man couldn't help but shudder at this, and stared at the boy in front of him with wet eyes in astonishment.

"Child, how can you say that to an old man? This is not a polite thing. As a grand scholar who has served three kings, I think I have to--"

"Whatever you say, anyway, if you dare to put it, I dare to go and complain." Renly answered dryly.

The Citadel of Oldtown has cultivated a bachelor class throughout the entire Westeros continent. Bachelors assist nobles from all over the country to govern their territories, and the bachelor who assists the king is called a grand scholar, and there is only one in the country.

The Grand Scholar is responsible for taking care of the health of the king and his family, as well as managing letters from ravens from all over the country, etc. He can also attend the royal meetings to decide state affairs, and is considered an important official of the kingdom.

This is a job that only people of high moral character can be competent for. However, if I remember correctly, the Grand Scholar in front of me, who looks to be in his sixties or seventies, seems to have been visiting prostitutes. I remember that he is not a good person, so he said this without any psychological pressure.

The child seemed to be very unreasonable when he was throwing a tantrum, so the old scholar could only retreat. After prescribing a few potions, he ordered the servants to bring a brazier to bake nearby, and gave a few precautions, which was considered to be a hasty end of the treatment.

After such a commotion, Renly didn't even have confidence in the potion prescribed by the other party, so when the Grand Scholar left, he directly poured the potion into the urinal, and then prepared to curl up in the quilt to sweat it out.

He had no strength at all, so he ate lunch in bed. A servant brought a small table to the bedside, and three neatly dressed maids brought plates of fragrant food.

There were crispy white bread, vegetable and fruit salad, fried sweet corn cakes, crab pie, roast lamb with leeks, fried bacon with white beans...

There was so much food that Renly, who had been drinking fishy soup for a long time, was a little overwhelmed, but in fact he didn't have much appetite.

After being fed a few strawberries by a brown-haired maid, he couldn't eat anymore, but thinking that he had to eat more when he was sick, he reluctantly ate a small piece of soft bread and half a corn cake, and finally waved to them to leave, and then fell into a deep sleep on the feather bed.

After three consecutive days, the sudden illness finally eased.

During this period, his cheap brother Robert came to visit him, but he left in a hurry soon. He was obviously busy with many things. The second brother Stannis never showed up.

It is said that Stannis basically spent this time in the port of King's Landing, intensively preparing a fleet, and then attacking Dragonstone Island in the eastern sea of ​​King's Landing, where the last remnants of the Targaryen dynasty currently reside.

Yes, although the capital was occupied, the Targaryen family was not completely wiped out at this time. The queen of the former king and their royal fleet had already hurried back to Dragonstone, the home base of the Targaryen family, before the fall of King's Landing. .

None of this had much to do with Renly. After his condition improved, he focused on the closed fireplace in the room.

Don't worry about the dragon egg. The thing is there and there is no way it can escape.

Not long after leaving the dungeon, he planned to rest for a while, so he didn't study how to leave the Red Fort and go out to get the source of another smell he smelled before.

Although I might consider "leveling up" for my newly acquired profession, that is obviously a long-term thing, and there is no need to start right away.

So after his first breakfast after recovering from his illness, he dove into the narrow fireplace and groped carefully.

The short body was able to move smoothly in the open fireplace, but he didn't gain much at first. It wasn't until he fumbled back and forth several times and relied on his sensitive hearing that he discovered some clues.

So he raised his hand and pressed a certain stone brick diagonally above the fireplace, and the wall on the side of the fireplace suddenly creaked and turned over, revealing a dark and deep hole.

There was a cold air wafting out from the inside of the cave, as well as a damp and moldy smell. Renly ran out and lit a candle, and then climbed in through the hole. But he came back after a while, with a gloomy look on his face.

"If you want to build a secret path, just build a secret path. What kind of maze are you building?"

Muttering, he blew out the candle in his hand and fumbled with the switch just now, so the entrance to the secret passage flipped and closed again.

Renly then crouched in front of the fireplace, lost in thought.

Although due to his remarks two days ago, a strict search was being carried out in the Red Keep, judging from the words of the servants, it seemed that no one had discovered the real entrance to such a secret passage.

At first, he claimed that there was a secret passage just to get rid of the accusations of his brother Robert and to find a reasonable explanation for his whereabouts. As a result, the more he came into contact with it, the more he paid attention to it, and now it has even risen to the point where it must be solved——

Renly had actually been thinking about whether he could use this secret passage before. Among other things, if this secret passage could lead to the outside of the Red Keep, it would be much more convenient for him who was "grounded". .

However, Renly now believes that this secret passage must not be left alone.

For now, the most important thing for him is to grow up smoothly. Others, whether it is the title he may be awarded in the future, how long the Baratheon dynasty can last, or even exploring the mysterious golden finger are secondary. of.

The secret passage in front of us is already a serious threat, because it extends in all directions and seems to be connected to all the rooms in Maegor's Tower. Even if Renly moves out of this room, he cannot avoid it, and Maegor's Tower is already the most important place in the Red Keep. It's a safe place. It's like this here. What about the other buildings outside?

Renly didn't think he could leave the Red Keep or even King's Landing in a short time, which meant that he might live here for a long time.

He could consider killing the person who knew the secret passage and completely occupy the secret, but he could not guarantee that only Navaris knew the secret passage.

Therefore, the most effective and fastest way to solve the hidden dangers at the moment is to expose this new discovery to the public and make it known to everyone.

Just how to expose it also needs to be considered.

This situation was different from when he was at Storm's End. At that time, he had no worries because everyone was familiar with him. However, the forces in King's Landing and even the Red Keep were intertwined, and his relationship with the Baratheon family could hardly be called friends. He was still young, and a simple cold made him a little unbearable, but he didn't want to be noticed again, especially about the secret passage, which he had already mentioned once.

Secretly turn on all the switches in other rooms?

Renly was a little hesitant about this, but when he discovered that a pair of twin neighbors suddenly moved into Maegor's house, he suddenly had a new idea.
