The Iron Throne of Ice and Fire
Chapter 293 Hot Blood
The handsome young singer is still singing heartily with his eyes closed.
"It's rainy season - I'm going to ride a horse, hey - hello -"
"It's the rainy season - women sew clothes, hey-hey-"
"On the haystack - the woman is being kissed, hi - yea -"
"Hi-hey-hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-"
…………
The hall began to become chaotic.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
"Gods, what happened to Lord Edmure?!"
"Something happened to Lord Edmure!"
Queen Jeyne exclaimed in disbelief: "O gods!"
King Robb didn't have time to take a closer look at his uncle, who was motionless with his eyes open, and shouted: "Maester! Where is the maester?!"
Ser Brynden knelt there, holding Edmure in his arms as he stiffened and grew cold.
"He went to meet the Stranger." Ser Brynden was already in tears, and with trembling, wrinkled hands, he closed Edmure's eyelids.
King Robb said in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible so fast! Where is the maester? Where is the maester?! By the way, Jeyne knows medical skills, Jeyne!"
He turned his head and shouted loudly: "Jenny...Jenny!"
King Robb's voice brought the frightened Jenny back to her senses. She hurriedly stood up, lifted her skirt, and walked away quickly.
As soon as she got close, Queen Jane suddenly stopped. She suddenly felt a sharp pain, her body was shaking involuntarily, and she covered her stomach tightly with her hands.
King Robb turned his head again and urged: "Jenny! You..."
puff! Queen Jenny suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
His eyes turned red, and King Robb's face was covered with Queen Jeyne's blood as he knelt beside Edmure.
King Robb was stunned when he felt the hot blood.
He reached out to catch Queen Janey and hugged her tightly. He was in a panic: "Jenny, Janey, look at me, look at me."
There was no response, and Queen Jane's eyes gradually lost life.
Robb Stark screamed in pain: "No!!!"
At this time, Roose Bolton, who was standing in the crowd, looked at Jeyne in Robb's arms... and frowned slightly. Then, a pair of light-colored eyes suddenly looked to another part of the crowd. Count Luce saw Black Walder staring at Edmure, with unconcealable shock on his big, swollen and bloody face.
It was a complete mess, some people were crying, some were staggering, some were vomiting, and some were rushing towards the gate without hesitation.
Roose Bolton strode out, looking at Robb's northern vassals with winter-like eyes. For the first time, everyone present heard him speak loudly: "Northerners, maintain order!"
His voice rose again: "No one is allowed to leave! Anyone who disobeys will be killed!"
Before the people from the north could respond, Black Walder took the lead and responded loudly: "Twins City! Didn't you hear Earl Bolton's order? No one is allowed to leave! Protect the king!"
Not long after, the thick oak door of the main castle hall slowly closed, making a dull and loud noise.
…………
In a hidden place to the west of Riverrun, Tyrion held on to the wall and panted: "My short legs almost broke."
During the wedding banquet, although Tyrion was arranged in a "remote" location near the gate, he had been paying attention to the little running wolf's words and deeds. His purpose was to learn as much as possible about the young ruler.
When something unusual happened to Edmure, Tyrion decisively sneaked out of the main castle during the wedding banquet with Bronn, the young attendants and others.
Bronn's breathing became slightly heavier, and he looked back in the direction of the main castle and said, "Sir, will this cause any misunderstanding?"
Tyrion wiped the sweat from his face, waved his hand, and said: "We'll talk about it later... The Seven Gods will bless others in their hometown. It's best to misunderstand."
After a while, a Lannister in a red robe trotted over. He calmed down and said, "Lord Tyrion, the door to the main castle is closed!"
There was a hint of panic in his voice: "Edmure Tully is dead!"
Tyrion's pupils shrank, and Bronn said to him: "My lord, you saved us."
"It also saved myself. I really didn't expect..."
Tyrion took off the money bag from his waist and threw it directly to Bronn, saying: "We must leave. People who have lost their minds will not listen to our explanation."
He stared at Bronn: "It is dangerous to stay. If we escape by ourselves, Lord Tywin will never forgive us. We must take Jaime away."
Bronn weighed the money bag in his hand and grinned: "These are not enough, Lord Tyrion."
Tyrion also grinned: "This is just a small appetizer. Lannister must pay its debts."
Bronn put the money bag away, patted it, and said: "My lord, I am at your disposal."
Tyrion spoke faster: "Adam Marbrand (Jaime's childhood friend, the person arranged by Tywin to monitor, Chapter 258) is near the cell. He will appear when he hears three bird calls. . He has clothes prepared in advance. You dress up as a Riverrun guard and bring James out directly. Before coming out, help him change into the clothes of a Riverrun guard."
Seeing that Tyrion was already prepared, Bronn said easily: "Then what? After such a big incident, I think the gates of Riverrun will be closed soon."
"Come to the west wall, where I peed into the river three days ago. When I got there, I heard three birdsong."
Tyrion reached out and patted Bronn's... thigh.
He urged: "Be quick, we don't have much time, we must be quick. Climb down the city wall and get on the raft I have hidden by the river. We will be safe, my Blackwater River Knight."
"For the sake of the golden dragon." Bronn smiled and strode away.
Watching Bronn disappear into the night, Tyrion secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he prepared for the worst.
…………
That night, Edmure Tully, the heir to Riverrun, was poisoned and died.
That night, King Robb's queen, Jeyne Westerling, was poisoned and died.
That night, the terminally ill Lord Hoster Tully heard the news that the heir had been murdered. On his deathbed, he left behind...his younger brother, Brynden Tully, to inherit Riverrun.
…………

In the pale morning light, Queen Jane seemed to be sleeping, and the silent sisters, wrapped tightly from head to toe, with only their eyes exposed, stood not far away.
Robb's face was pale and haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot. He stood beside his wife... motionlessly guarding her.
Ser Brynden, who seemed to be an aging teenager overnight, entered the sept with heavy steps, followed by Lord Roos and Maester Wayman of Riverrun.
Ser Brynden came over and patted Robb. His voice could not hide the sadness: "I thought I was used to life and death... I don't even know how to comfort you now, my son."
Robb closed his eyes for a while and then opened them again: "Uncle and grandpa, there is no mercy in the north, only blood debts must be repaid with blood."
Earl Luce and Maester Wayman saluted Robb: "Your Majesty."
Robb stared at his "sleeping" wife and said in a hoarse voice: "How's it going?"
Bachelor Wayman glanced at Earl Roose, and seeing that he was silent, he spoke first: "King Robb, there are two kinds of poisons. Lord Edmure was hit by the strangler, which is a powerful poison that can quickly suffocate people to death. Poison has the same symptoms as choking to death.”
After a pause, he continued: "The poison that Queen Westerlin was poisoned by is very similar to the devil's dance grass. It can cause severe pain in the abdomen of the poisoned person, vomit blood and cause instant death."
Robb's hand gently touched his wife's face: "Have you found the murderer?"
