The Lingxue Palace was peaceful and happy, but outside the Xiqiang Palace, there was a vague and eerie atmosphere of a storm approaching.
King Xiqiang suddenly collapsed and became seriously ill.
According to the imperial physician, it was due to years of overwork and there seemed to be no cure.
Regarding the sudden illness of King Xiqiang, it seems that except for a few grieving concubines, no one else, including Duozhen, showed excessive grief.
The body of King Xiqiang was already in danger, and Duolie and Gongga began to have their own secret plans to obtain the position of the new king.
Although Xia Yunqing stole Gongga's military talisman, it does not mean that he does not have other support behind him.
After learning the news that King Xiqiang was seriously ill for the first time, Gongga's grandfather's family rushed to Taozhou.
Although Gongga's biological mother is not Queen Duozhen, his grandfather's clan is the most powerful collateral Huoyun clan in the entire Xiqiang, except for the royal clan.
Therefore, when they learned that King Xiqiang was suddenly seriously ill and had not left any will, the Huoyun tribe actually sent nearly 6,000 elite soldiers directly to garrison outside Taozhou City, almost destroying the two important gates of Taozhou.
Directly surrounded.
When Duozhen learned about this, she immediately informed her natal clan.
Although the Tuyun clan was not as strong as the Fireyun clan, it still played a role in restricting each other at this critical moment.
Although the Tuyun tribe's combat troops were 2,000 less than the Huoyun tribe's, they were not afraid and stationed directly next to the Huoyun tribe, creating a trend of confrontation.
There is an undercurrent that is about to break out throughout Taozhou.
Many wealthy families are panicking and thinking of ways to sell their property and escape from Taozhou to avoid innocent harm when the civil war breaks out.
Duozhen calculated that Lao Wang still had 5,000 troops in his hand, while Duolie had 2,000 troops, plus the 4,000 from the Tuyun tribe, which was enough to fight against the 6,000 elite troops from the Huoyun tribe.
It's just that Gongga's lost military talisman still has a thousand troops.
It's hard to say whose hands it is at this time.
Even if Gongga retrieves the military talisman, including the Fire Cloud clan, there will be 7,000 people, and their mother and son already have more than 10,000, and the chance of winning is much greater.
Therefore, before the King of Xiqiang died, Duozhen took complete control of the harem in advance.
All the concubines with backgrounds were imprisoned in the cold palace by her.
As for Gongga, she publicly announced something that shocked the entire Xiqiang. scandal A few months ago, when Gongga was sent by the King of Xiqiang to welcome the Princess of Qi, he had already become husband and wife with the princess that night when he was stationed in the snowy mountains.
Those who testified were all close confidants of Gongga King Xiqiang was given a big green hat in advance by his third son This matter was singled out by Duozhen in public, and King Xiqiang died under this unacceptable fact.
Gongga and Xia Yunqing became the main culprits in killing King Xiqiang "The king was angered to death by this couple of bitches.
I, Xiqiang, will never tolerate this happening."
Duozhen stood in the main hall and said loudly in the name of the queen, "I will sacrifice the lives of these two people to honor the king."
The ministers in the main hall looked at each other, but immediately someone stood up and said: "My Majesty, these two people killed your Majesty, we must make them pay with their lives."
"They must pay with their lives" "We must not let them go."
At this time, Gongga had long disappeared from the main hall.
He had already escaped from Taozhou and reunited with his grandfather before the Fire Cloud Clan arrived in Taozhou.
Therefore, Duozhen's shouting at this time was only aimed at Xia Yunqing.
Your Majesty, you lost a demon queen :
