What's y'all opinion on whether when Vary's led Tyrion to his father's chamber, did he know that Tywin was already dying?

Varys certainly needed Tywin out of the way at some point so...maybe?

However, the book doesn't read like Varys wanted Tyrion to go up the tower. Seems like letting Tyrion go up there was a gamble for Varys. Tyrion could have easily been the one dead.

I think he definitely wanted Tyrion to go to Tywin's room. The way he says it all is key. When they are under the chamber, Varys gives him exact instructions on how to get there first and then gives a protest, which in my opinion is just a ruse to make Tyrion feel like he doesn't want him to go.

quote:

He looked up the shaft. "How far must I climb?"
"My lord, you are too weak for such follies, and there is besides no time. We must go."
"I have business above. How far?"
"Two hundred and thirty rungs, but whatever you intend...
"Two hundred and thirty rungs, and then?"
"The tunnel to the left, but hear me - "
"How far along to the bedchamber?" Tyrion lifted a foot to the lowest rung of the ladder.
"No more than sixty feet. Keep one hand on the wall as you go. You will feel the doors. The
bedchamber is the third." He sighed. "This is folly, my lord. Your brother has given you your life back.
Would you cast it away, and mine with it?"

He didn't have to give him exact instructions on how to get there.
