Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Serpent of the Desert
The monarch of the ancient kingdom of Loulan has already returned to Angui, and Angui has slowly adapted to the throne, and the life of the harem has also entered the role.
The queen mother and Hu Guifei in the harem are at odds with each other, and they are still fighting secretly for status and power, and the queen mother is slowly acting according to her own ideas, this action is indicated, and it is under Hu Guifei's observation, of course, Lan Qier's maid and eunuch are also concerned about all matters in the harem.
Hu Guifei has an ominous premonition in her heart, and this premonition is a normal reaction of a person with a heart, because although she now has a faction of ministers above the court, but with the death of the former emperor, the ministers of this faction no longer have strong roots, and she can no longer protect them.
Since the queen mother has begun to move, she must not wait, and passively bear what happened, so she issued a kill order to the pro-minister through her cronies and eunuchs, preparing to secretly give the queen mother a head-on blow.
Hu Guifei's plan has also been launched, the queen mother's plan is to take power, not human life, is to control the government and centralize power, Hu Guifei's plan is to seize power and usurp the throne, is to go straight to the emperor to return to peace, is to return to peace.
The minister received an order from Hu Guifei, knowing the seriousness of the situation, it was better to do it sooner rather than later, so he immediately went out of the city in plainclothes and makeup, and contacted the snake catcher of the nomadic people who had been looking for a good time, and after a secret transaction, several of the most poisonous rattlesnakes in the desert came to the hands of the minister, everything was smooth, the dormant rattlesnake was safely brought into Loulan City by the minister, the snake entered the city is not a problem, it is difficult to enter the palace, the palace gate is guarded by the Praetorian Guard, and it is impossible for the whole rattlesnake to be brought in artificially.
It is not realistic for the rattlesnake to dig a hole to enter by itself, that is, several snakes have entered the palace, and they don't know the task, they don't know the goal, and the minister can only carefully bring the dormant rattlesnake into his mansion for a while, and ask Hu Guifei for instructions, and the route for the snake to enter the palace.
Hu Guifei in the harem got the news that the rattlesnake had arrived in the city and was waiting for how to enter the palace, so she immediately arranged a way for the snake to enter the palace.
There are cronies and ministers outside the palace wall, and there are Hu Guifei's cronies and eunuchs inside the palace wall, and the snake escaped the patrol of the Praetorian Guard as he wished under the cover of night, and arrived in the palace courtyard of Hu Guifei.
Because it is summer, snakes cannot sleep for a long time, drug dormancy affects the biological physiological cycle, and what is planned with great difficulty cannot fail, the emperor's daily behavior is all in Hu Guifei's mind, and the best place for snakes has also been chosen, that is, the imperial study.
At night, the emperor was not there, and the eunuchs also went back to rest, Hu Guifei's cronies and eunuchs took a few rattlesnakes, and they escaped the palace patrol guards with ease, and entered the imperial study without anyone knowing, it was time for the rattlesnake to wake up, took out the awakening medicine given by the snake catcher, stuffed it into the snake's mouth, and quietly left the imperial study.
The snake awakening medicine worked with the turn of time, the rattlesnake woke up, and several snakes began to crawl, crawling to all corners of the imperial study, hiding, waiting for the unlucky ones.
The eunuch returned to Hu Guifei's palace and resumed his life, Hu Guifei's plan was fully completed, that is, the part that people often say is in the people, and the success is not controlled by people in the sky, so they can only wait.
Of course, the emperor Angui is in the harem at this time, and he is working hard for the future of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and he is working hard for the future heirs.
