It was not until late at night that the door of Gao Yuan's room in the Gate of the Moon was pushed open. The first person to push the door open was Mia Shidong, the illegitimate daughter of King Robert who stayed in the valley, followed closely behind.

In the room was Ser Nestor Royce, and then Lady Catelyn, who was wearing a black ermine cloak.

Entering the room, Gao Yuan noticed that Mrs. Caitlin's face was still full of fatigue at this moment. After all, she had just come down from the Eagle's Nest City and had not had time to rest, so she rushed here to meet him non-stop. It was normal to look a little tired like this.

.

When the three people who had just come down from the Eagle's Nest City walked into the room, Gao Yuan was sitting at the trestle table, holding a glass of wine in one hand and flipping through a scroll full of lines in the other hand.

No wonder Sir Ronan Grafson who was guarding the door did not inform him, but Gao Yuan had already told him that if Sir Nestor and others came to visit him, he would let them in directly.

Sensing someone entering the room, Gao Yuan calmly stuffed the scroll in his hand into an ancient book, raised his head and took a look at the three people who entered the room.

"Sorry, Lord Gao Yuan! I have kept you waiting for so long." Before Gao Yuan could speak, Sir Nestor was the first to apologize to him, "When I received the news from Miranda that you had returned to the Gates of the Moon,

After that, I immediately took Mrs. Stark and Miss Mia down from the Eagle's Nest City, but I still didn't come down until now."

"You should have sent a message in advance, so that we could send someone to greet you outside the Blood Gate."

"It's not your fault, Sir Nestor!" Gao Yuan smiled at him, "Your cousin Earl John and I came back from the sea by boat. You don't need to be sorry for this. I am the one who should say sorry.

That’s right.”

"It makes you have to risk coming down from the Eagle's Nest late at night. If I don't really have something important to talk to you and Lady Catelyn about, I don't want to summon you at this late night."

Caitlin frowned uneasily: "What is the important matter that makes you, Mr. Gao Yuan, insist on discussing with us late at night?"

"Mrs. Caitlin, don't worry yet!"

"Sometimes it is easier to go up the mountain than to go down. The journey down from the Eagle's Nest City must have made you exhausted. Madam, please take a seat first, and Sir Nestor, please take a seat soon." Gao Yuan hurriedly asked the two of them to sit down first, and then

Then he turned around and took out a pot of warm wine from the weak fireplace and placed it on the table in front of them.

"The golden wine from Qingting Island is even sweeter than the summer red from Dorne. Madam Caitlin, would you like to have a drink with me?" Gao Yuan asked softly, "Your face looks very tired.

Look, this will help relieve your fatigue."

"With great pleasure, Lord Gao Yuan!" Caitlin replied politely.

He turned to Mia Shidong: "Dear Miss Mia Shidong, would you please serve as a waiter and pour wine for our distinguished guests."

Mia Shidong nodded respectfully, then picked up the wine bottle on the table and filled Mrs. Caitlin's wine glass with golden wine. Caitlin quickly said thank you to Mia Shidong, and then very

She politely picked up the wine glass in front of her, and before she could taste the sweetness of the wine, the mellow wine fragrance hit Caitlin's nose.

Carefully sipping the wine in the glass, the warm and sweet taste of the wine instantly hit her limbs. Caitlin felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation and joy flowing through her body. She had been tired from the long journey before.

They were all swept away.

"Ned will definitely not like the taste of this wine. This wine is too sweet for him. Ned, who was born in the north, prefers stronger ale." Caitlin thought this way.

"The first thing is about the real culprit behind the assassination of your son Bran... The truth of the matter has gradually begun to emerge." Gao Yuan's expression suddenly became serious, he put down the wine glass in his hand and sat up straight, "Although

At the moment we have not yet investigated who was the real culprit behind the assassination, but now we can basically rule out the possibility that that person is Tyrion Lannister."

"Lord Gao Yuan, do you mean to say that the dwarf is innocent?" Caitlin covered her lips and exclaimed, "But the little devil already admitted that he owned the dagger that day... and Petyr also stood up and testified.

There is absolutely no mistaking who the owner of that dagger is... Petyr told me that he lost the dagger to the imp at the tourney."

If Gao Yuan's judgment is correct, Tyrion Lannister is indeed innocent or has been framed...Catelyn simply dare not think about how big a mistake she has made. This is equivalent to saying that it is she, Catelyn

He personally started the war between the Stark family and the Lannister family.

"Tyrion Lannister did admit that the dagger once belonged to him, but he also said that the dagger was stolen from him." Gao Yuan reminded the other party, "It's just that we all thought that the dagger was stolen from him."

The devil is just lying, and the results of my investigation in King's Landing also confirm that he is not lying."

"As for Littlefinger Petyr Baelish, that guy is a liar who tells lies. Everything he does is for himself." Gao Yuan snorted disdainfully, "Petyr Baelish is now gone.

Sentenced to death by King Robert, the crimes he committed are too numerous to describe."

"As for the crime Littlefinger committed, I will talk to you in detail about it later, Madam. In short, Madam, just don't believe every word Littlefinger says."

Mrs. Caitlin's face was tense at this moment. She was eager to know who the real culprit was behind the scenes: "Lord Gao Yuan, since you are so sure that the dagger is not the assassin handed over by the dwarf, then you must already know the dagger.

Who is the owner of the dagger, right?"

"The owner of the dagger may not be the real culprit who sent the assassin to kill your son Bran, Mrs. Caitlin!" Gao Yuan did not directly tell who the owner of the dagger was, because once he revealed the real owner of the dagger, things would change.

The truth will become more confusing,

"Lord Gao Yuan, please tell me who that person is!" Although Caitlin tried hard to sound less aggressive, she still failed. As a mother who loves her children deeply, Caitlin's anger

Still, I couldn't help but feel vented.

"I will tell you who the owner of the dagger is, but I hope you won't be impulsive, madam." Gao Yuan understood the anger in Madam Caitlin's heart. No one could control themselves at this moment. But this matter is really a matter of fact.

It was so important that he had to make sure in advance that Lady Catelyn would not do anything stupid because of this.

"The owner of that dagger is none other than the current King of the Seven Kingdoms, His Majesty Robert Baratheon."

After hearing Gao Yuan's answer, Caitlin immediately collapsed on her seat. If Mia Shidong hadn't been supporting her behind her, she might have fallen to the ground. This answer was like a sunny day.

It struck Caitlin like a thunderbolt in her heart. She would never have thought that that person would be her husband's brother.

"When I knew this, I was as shocked as you, madam!" Gao Yuan told her, "But these were all admitted by King Robert in front of me. When I took out the dagger and showed it to him,

.”

"He also won the dagger from Little Finger. The king told me that after he won the dagger from Little Finger, he threw it into his treasury. However, the king did not know who stole it from his treasury.

Gao Yuan continued, "There are many more daggers like this in the king's treasury. The king has no way of knowing that this dagger was stolen from the treasury, so the only clue we have to find the real culprit is

It’s broken.”

"We have no way of knowing who stole the dagger from the king's treasury. We want to investigate who sent someone to assassinate Bran. This is simply harder than reaching heaven."

"Thank you, Miss Mia Shidong!" Mrs. Caitlin expressed her gratitude to Mia again. After sitting firmly on the chair again, she sighed, "Master Gao Yuan, you don't have to feel guilty about this. I and I

Ned knows you tried your best."

"Ned and I will always remember your help to the Stark family."

"I didn't tell your husband about this because I was afraid it would affect the relationship between Lord Ed and the king. He had a big quarrel with the king because of something before." Gao Yuan's face.

He looked ashamed.

"Lord Gao Yuan, you are right! This may be the gods in the sky teasing us and deliberately not letting us know the truth of the matter." Mrs. Caitlin turned her gaze to the night sky outside the window. A new moon was hanging high in the sky at the moment.

"I just feel sorry for my child Bran... But I believe that evil people will eventually be punished. Since the gods are not willing to let us punish the person who hurt Bran, then the gods must have their own arrangements."

Gao Yuanshen nodded in agreement. In fact, he had always known who the real culprit behind the scenes was, and that person would indeed suffer retribution in the near future. Although the poison of strangler takes effect very quickly, it is said that the poisoned person

You will also experience unprecedented pain before you die.

The poisoned person will first experience severe contraction of the throat muscles, followed by deep suffocation due to the obstruction of the trachea by the constricted throat. Eventually, he will also die due to suffocation and lack of oxygen. It is said that the victims often die of direct suffocation.

It's like a drowning person who falls into the water and struggles desperately to breathe but can't.

"Lord Gao Yuan... what do you plan to do with the... dwarf of the Lannister family brought by Mrs. Stark?" Sir Nestor asked Gao Yuan for advice, "He is still imprisoned in the Eyrie.

In the prison."

"Now that it has been proven that the dwarf is innocent, we have no reason to imprison him here anymore." Gao Yuan told him categorically, "I once made a promise to him in front of everyone at the Xianglong Inn, as long as

Once the dwarf is proven innocent in this matter, he will be allowed to leave freely."

"But...Lord Gao Yuan, I'm afraid this is not appropriate? That dwarf is a member of the Lannister family!" Sir Nestor seemed a little hesitant, "You once told me and the other princes in the canyon that we and

War between the Lannisters is about to break out."

"Now that we let the old lion Tywin's son go, we will have one less thing to use to blackmail the Lannister family."

"Sir Nestor, you are totally wrong to think so." Gao Yuan retorted, "A man as proud as the old lion Tywin, do you really think he would care about the life and death of a dwarf? Even if this dwarf

He is Tywin's biological son, but I'm afraid he would rather see him die in the Eyrie than you here."

"Unless we can catch the Kingslayer, the old lion Tywin will not only not care about the life and death of the dwarf in our hands, but may also use this as an excuse to attack the valley in advance." Gao Yuan looked at Sir Nestor with a stern look, "

You must have received news recently that the caravan in the valley was attacked by the Lannister army in the west, right?"

"The war is indeed coming, but this does not mean that we will be the one who provokes the war." Gao Yuan ordered him again, "Tomorrow let the people in Long Sky Castle bring the dwarfs down from the Eagle's Nest City

, no one is allowed to stop the dwarf when he leaves Arryn Valley, I want to see him leave from the Blood Gate with my own eyes."

"Mrs. Caitlin, there is one more thing I need to tell you." After speaking, Gao Yuan turned to look at Mrs. Caitlin, "Because it is related to your sister Lysa Tully, so I think you need to know."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Lasha...What happened to Lasha?" Caitlin was a little confused about this, "Lasha and her children are not taking good care of each other now.

In the castle of the Royce family?"

"She is staying there safely now, but that may not be the case after a while." Gao Yuan spread his hands, "Do you still remember what I just told you about Little Finger being sentenced to death by the king?"

At this moment, when she heard that Gao Yuan mentioned that Littlefinger was sentenced to death by the king, Caitlin's heart was at peace. Since the day she married Ned, Caitlin had completely cut off contact with Littlefinger. This time because of Littlefinger's lies

, she almost caused a catastrophic disaster, and after that, she even planned to end the last trace of her relationship with Little Finger.

But she still couldn't figure out why Littlefinger's being sentenced to death by the king was related to her sister: "My lord, you just said that Littlefinger committed countless crimes, but what does this have to do with my sister Lasha?

What about the relationship?"

"Lady Catelyn, do you know what crime Littlefinger is accused of committing?"

Catelyn shook her head in confusion. She had been staying in this castle since she left King's Landing. It would take at least ten days for news from King's Landing to reach the Gates of the Moon. How could she know that Littlefinger was accused of committing a crime?

What crime was committed.

"I was negligent. The king's trial against Littlefinger just ended a few days ago. It's no wonder that you, madam, didn't know anything about it." Gao Yuan smiled sarcastically, "Littlefinger was accused of conspiring with others to murder the former Prime Minister Joan.

Um Aylin.”

"And your sister Lysa Tully is also one of the accused in this trial. She is accused of secretly sleeping with Littlefinger and conspiring to poison her husband Jon Arryn with the poison 'Tears of Lys'

, now Count Yohn Royce has returned to Runestone City to deal with this matter specifically."
