Chapter 69 This Wedding is Poisonous

It was time for someone else to toast. Joffrey chuckled and said, "How can I accept a toast with an empty glass? Uncle, you will be my cupbearer. Since you don't have the courage to fight."

"I do not deserve such an honor," Tyrion refused.

"This is not an honor. This is an order." Joffrey stared at Tyrion.

Although Tyrion was reluctant, it was the king's order.

Tyrion walked up to Joffrey, ready to take his cup.

But Joffrey simply threw the cup to the ground.

Tyrion bent down to pick up the wine glass, but Joffrey kicked it away.

“Bring it back,” Joffrey said.

Tyrion said nothing and walked towards the wine glass that was kicked away. Sansa helped him pick up the wine glass and handed it to Tyrion.

Tyrion held the cup out to Joffrey again.

Joffrey laughed. "You can't toast with an empty cup. Pour it."

Tyrion took the wine from the table, filled the glass, and handed it to Joffrey.

“Kneel before your king,” Joffrey said.

Tyrion stared at Joffrey but did not kneel.

Joffrey said, "Kneel down. I said kneel down!"

Tyrion remained indifferent, and the atmosphere turned cold again.

Just then, Little Rose said quickly, "Look, the pie is coming!"

Several people came over carrying a table with pies on it. Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stood up and applauded, shifting their attention to the other side.

As for Joffrey and Tyrion.

Joffrey took the wine glass from Tyrion, took a sip of wine with disdain, turned and left, and the matter passed.

Joffrey drew his Valyrian steel sword, walked over to the pie, and slashed at the lid.

The lid was broken, and many white doves flew out, and the crowd applauded again.

Joffrey picked up the pie and ate it. When he saw Tyrion trying to leave, he said, "Where are you going? You are my cupbearer. Have you forgotten?"

"I will change my wet clothes, Your Majesty."

"No, no, you look best like this. Pour me some wine. Come on, the pie is too dry."

Tyrion had no choice but to walk over to Joffrey, pick up a glass of red wine and hand it to Joffrey.

Joffrey took up his cup and drained it. "Good. I'll have something to wash it down with."

Just as Tyrion was about to leave, something strange happened.

Joffrey began to cough violently, and the coughing became more and more severe.

Everyone noticed that something was wrong with Joffrey.

Then Joffrey began to hold his neck, having difficulty breathing, and wanted to shout, but no sound came out.

Joffrey staggered down the stairs, then fell down in front of everyone's astonished eyes, spitting blood.

"Someone come and rescue us!"

"Save the King!"

Cersei and Jaime both ran over to check out the situation.

However, Joffrey struggled violently for a moment and pointed to the poisoned chalice.

Everyone looked at the little devil who picked up the wine glass. At this time, Joffrey also lost his breath, ending his short life.

In the end, Joffrey's mother Cersei could only announce with tears in her eyes: "He is dead, the king is dead, he did it, he poisoned my son, your king, catch him, catch him!"

The little devil Tyrion Lannister was captured just like that.

Ye Qi and Haitang Duoduo looked at each other.

"No way, I attended two weddings and both times there was trouble." Ye Qizhen wondered if he shouldn't attend other people's weddings.

As for who poisoned King Joffrey, Ye Qi did not think it was Tyrion.

What fool would be dumb enough to bring poisoned wine to the king himself?

Just like that, the wedding banquet ended in a hurry, and Little Rose became a widow less than a day after her marriage.

Tyrion is held by guards, awaiting trial.

All Ye Qi has to do is wait for the trial to enter the "trial by combat" stage. If he wins, he will get the reward for this mission.

That's the Nine-Turn Great Rejuvenation Pill. If you get fatally injured someday, this thing will come in handy.

Quietly waiting for the little devil's judgment day.

In the past few days, Ye Qi drew the attack route and the defense map in the city more carefully, and then asked Wang Jian to formulate a combat strategy. In terms of siege skills, Wang Jian was naturally more powerful.

Leave professional matters to professionals.

In addition, after Joffrey's death, his brother Tommen Baratheon ascended the throne the next day.

Joffrey's death was not mourned by anyone except his mother Cersei. Even his biological father, Jaime, felt that Joffrey deserved this fate.

The day of judgment has arrived.

On the way to the palace, Ye Qi asked Wang Jian what his battle strategy was.
Wang Jian said: "Master, after destroying those dragon-shooting crossbows, order the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry to charge in."

"No strategy required?"

"The strategy is for siege. You have weapons to destroy the city gates, and the most threatening dragon-shooting crossbow has also been destroyed. So we don't have any problem breaking through the city. We just need to command the army to rush in through the city gates."

"Emmmm, well, anyway, you should find a way to help the cavalry gain more experience."

"Yes, master. I will try my best not to take action." Wang Jian promised.

Wang Jian has no chance of improving his martial arts by beating these minions now, so it would be better for him to let the cavalry gain more experience and upgrade to the third-level troops as soon as possible.

After knocking out three nobles who were going to attend the trial meeting and changing into their clothes, Ye Qi and the other two came to the audience seats in the imperial palace.

Joffrey's younger brother, the new King Tommen Baratheon, sat on the Iron Throne. Next to him stood Tywin Lannister, patriarch of the Lion House Lannister, father of Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion, who was both Tommen's grandfather and grandfather. Take a closer look.

The Iron Throne was forged by King Aegon I Targaryen after he conquered the Seven Kingdoms by collecting the swords of his enemies and forging them with the dragonfire of Balerion the Black Death.

Aegon believed that a king should always sit upright and not sit comfortably, so there were many spikes and barbs on the Iron Throne, deliberately designed to make people sit uncomfortable and to warn those in power.

After a while, the little devil was brought in by his brother Jaime Lannister.

Tyrion had shackles on his hands and looked very depressed.

People whispered, and some shouted at Tyrion, "Kingslayer!"

Jaime escorted Tyrion to the central hearing room and removed his chains.

Then several knights left, leaving Tyrion standing there alone.

At Tywin's signal, the little King Tommen stood up, and the people in the audience followed suit.

"I, Tommen I of House Baratheon, King of the Andals and the First Men, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, do hereby declare that during the trial, Tywin of House Lannister, the Hand of the King and Protector of the Realm, will serve as judge in my place, along with Prince Oberyn of House Martell and Lord Mace of House Tyrell. If found guilty, may the gods punish the guilty."
