Chapter 571 blunt advice"How do you feel? Go back to the house immediately, and don't force it!"
Daenerys watched Igor's gestures from the side, expressing concern in the tough and almost commanding tone that a Queen is qualified to put on.
After being in a coma for three days and two nights, the Night's Watch Legion Lord Commander, who was in danger of poisoning, finally regained consciousness and opened his eyes. Daenerys, who got the news, not only immediately got up from the bed to confirm, but also the next morning. Liang left other arrangements and came to accompany Igor in his "rehabilitation walk".
"Thank you for your concern." Looking at the vigilant little Queen who seemed to be ready to help him at any time, Igor smiled bitterly on his slightly haggard face: "But Your Majesty - I'm in a coma for three years. It's not three years, so I don't even forget how to walk."
It's true that only three days have passed, but these three days are really no different from three years to Daenerys. It's not an exaggeration to describe it as if it were a lifetime away.
Fortunately, the nightmare is finally over.
"Is your mind still clear? Will thinking now be a burden to you?"
"Ms. Melisandre told me that Blood Magic has removed all toxins from my body, since If you can wake up, it means that your brain is not damaged." This should have been Red Woman's line, but since she has too many missions to look after Myrcella and has no time to escape, Igor had to explain by oneself, "But this kind of thing hidden in the brain, Who's to say for sure. At least so far, I don't feel oneself is getting dumber or duller, but it remains to be seen how."
"I take that as 'no'." Listen After Igor finished speaking clearly, Queen felt relieved and turned her head to look at the road ahead, "Have told you about the suicide of the murderer by poisoning?"
"Speaking. "
"Who do you think is this person instructed?"
Sun was hidden behind the clouds that were neither thin nor thick but covered the sky, and there were still scattered in the sky. Snowflakes are falling, but for the North's climate, it's already good weather. Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Igor found that the temperature should have picked up a little... I don't know if this heralded the end of this round of winter, or whether Wall, who stayed further north for a long time, changed his feelings about the cold.
"Stannis, Volantis, Slaver's Bay, those old slave-masters you banished, even little Aegon and the iron vault behind him...there are too many people in this world who have motives and reasons to do anything against you Hostile actions weaken your power." Igor glanced at Daenerys and shook his head in reply, "But in my dictionary, 'feel' is a word that is rarely used. From the clues and information I have so far, please forgive me. —I can’t even tell which side is more suspect, let alone precisely name it.”
Another advantage of making an unsolved case over framing a specific faction is this: every side has suspicions, Queen becomes more susceptible and manipulative when she is paranoid.
Daenerys didn't look disappointed at this tactful answer - she was just asking casually, and if Igor suddenly spit out a name and insisted that it was what he did, it would be a ghost.
"I hope you will come to preside over this investigation, of course, after a full recovery." She said in an unquestionable tone, not hiding her hidden anger, "No matter the means, no matter the cost, no matter what How much time will it take... to find out the forces behind this person!"
Let the real murderer lead the investigation?
The muscles on Igor's face jumped uncontrollably, resisting the urge to laugh haha. It's a huge victory - Daenerys is talking about "investigating the forces behind Mizedan", not "finding the poisoner", which not only shows that she has no doubts about the identity of the real murderer, but also allows oneself to Calmly arranged the follow-up smearing and slandering... No, no, there is indeed power behind the scenes of Yizedan, and this is not even framed. Which means which, it is impossible to miss at all!
"Your Majesty's wish is my mission."
Daenerys was satisfied with the answer, and with Igor's impression of being omnipotent, she even began to figure out how much counterattack and revenge.
Between the conversation, the two had unconsciously turned another corner and walked to the school field that was extremely crowded due to the construction of the dragon's nest.
It's busier than anywhere else in the castle: passers-by to and from the Queen's slump and the land-grant camp, the Unsullied cleaning and repairing the dragon's nest and feeding, the three in one of the few open spaces. Two groups of soldiers huddled together for training or chatting...
Wherever the two passed, everyone who saw them came stopped their work, made room for the Queen and the guards to pass through, and used the Look at the Dragon Queen and Lord Commander side by side with admiration or awe or surprise.
“Where are you going to start? When can you start?”
Huh?
A question mark popped up again in Igor's head.
Didn't he just say "after oneself is fully recovered", before the words fell, he urged oneself to start work, thinking he was Divine Immortal!
"Where to start, I haven't figured it out yet. As for the start time, at least we have to wait until after King's Landing is taken and Your Majesty sits on Iron Throne. Before that, I think, we Don't be distracted and waste your energy elsewhere."
"After Iron Throne?" Daenerys frowned, not hiding his displeasure: "And when? This hidden enemy , murdered my Hand of the Queen and Master of Whisperers! I don't have the heart to think about anything else until I find him! If you feel incompetent or incapable of doing it, I won't force it, I'll find someone else responsible! ”
Igor can’t be happy now, Queen seems to be swept away by anger... This makes her vulnerable on the one hand, but it’s not too much, if she’s determined, she’s going to be bullshit , if you don't find out who's behind the scenes and don't give up, it's also bad news for oneself and the Land Granters.
He sighed long, pretending... no, rubbing his forehead in distress, pausing, and turning to face Daenerys, who was also standing still looking towards him.
"Your Majesty, your blood gave me a second life, and I can't repay this kind of re-creation. But I believe that true loyalty is not blind obedience and ignorance. Take orders, but do so from the bottom of your heart, and be able to speak up when necessary. Believe this - I, who nearly died as one of the poisoners, are definitely more angrier than you. I want to personally stab the person behind the scenes, but I still think: tracing the mastermind behind this matter is not the most imminent mission at the moment."
"Then tell me, what is the most imminent matter at the moment? "
Daenerys doesn't really want to hear what Igor said next, but if he throws his hands and walks away, he'll appear to have a narrow mind and no remonstrance, just really strong pressing, both hands crossed near chest, Determined to see what the man has in mind.
“In China, where I came from, there was a great Archon king named Lu Xun, who swept the continent and established an unification dynasty with a territory several times that of Westeros. He once said: to build and rule a huge kingdom , must always keep in mind the goal of oneself, and distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions." He can't remember who said this sentence, maybe he made it up by oneself. Anyway, it's right to move Mr. Zhou out. , "Your Majesty, do you still remember the goal of oneself, can you distinguish the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction in the situation you are facing now?"
