Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

He Shen asked, "What plums? What plums?"

Fu Kang'an said, "It's just like a plum in the Queen Mother's mouth. This time, Mo Li is really lucky."

He Shen asked, "Eunuch Zhang, what kind of preserved fruit is this plum?"

It turned out that Eunuch Zhang was also present. He picked up the plums on the table and handed them over.

He Shen picked up one of them, sniffed it, and put it back, saying, "How could such a small thing be so difficult to handle?"

Eunuch Zhang stood up and said, "Sir, the Emperor has another oral message for you."

"Oral order?" He Shen immediately knelt down and saluted, saying, "He Shen kowtows to receive the imperial order."

Eunuch Zhang said, "After Du Xiaoyue makes the plums, order Heshen to send them to Tai'an Prefecture by express horseback within two days."

He Shen bowed and said, "I obey your order."

Eunuch Zhang said, "Please stand up, my lord."

"Thank you, eunuch." Heshen stood up.

Fu Kang'an said: "This Mo Li is so lucky, how can he even make plums?"

He Shen raised his left hand, signaling Fu Kang'an to shut up, and said, "Back then, if Yang Guifei wanted to eat lychees, they had to be transported from Lingnan to Chang'an at full speed. Speaking of which, the capital is much closer to Tai'an. What if the Empress Dowager travels to the south of the Yangtze River now? Okay."

Fu Kang'an said, "Are you going to let Mo Li go just like that?"

"It's not that easy." Heshen laughed.

……

Fu Kang'an brought a group of people to Fengshengtang Preserved Fruit Shop and ordered a search.

The officers and soldiers spilled the plums inside.

Next up is the Baojintang preserves.

One store after another.

The people brought by Fukangan scattered all the candied plums on the ground.

It seems like he is looking for something.

……

A sedan chair stopped, Liu Quan lifted the curtain, and Heshen walked out of the sedan chair.

Fu Kang'an said, "My Lord, I have searched all the preserved fruit shops in the capital, and none of them have this kind of plum."

He Shen said: "Then find someone to try to do it."

Fu Kangan said: "They also said that they can't make it, but if they can figure out the formula, it will take ten days to half a month."

He Shen said anxiously, "It's too late then."

Fu Kang'an said, "Only Mo Li can make this plum. Do we really need him to do this?"

"Beg him?" He Shen seemed to have thought of something and continued, "We must beg him. A little impatience can ruin a big plan. The emperor is a filial son. If the empress dowager is happy when she eats plums, the emperor will be happy too."

Fu Kang'an said, "I won't go."

He Shen said, "Okay, I'll go. A prime minister should be able to hold his own. But I still feel ashamed. But I'll go, I'll go."

He Shen immediately went to look for Mo Li. As he was walking, he almost fell down. His attendant said, "Sir, don't be so impatient."

He Shen said: "How can I not be anxious? It's all because of that plum."

"Plums, what plums?" the attendant asked in confusion.

He Shen said angrily, "You don't even understand this, you unlucky girl, now you understand, right?"

The two followers were about to follow He Shen into Mo Li's house, but He Shen said, "Don't follow me. Stand still. I'll go in by myself."

He Shen went forward and knocked on the door. Du Xiaoyue's voice came from inside, "Who?"

Soon the door opened. Du Xiaoyue saw Heshen and asked, "What brings you here, Lord He?"

He Shen said, "I have something important to discuss with Lord Mo."

Du Xiaoyue said, "What a coincidence! Master Mo just went to bed. Why don't you come back tomorrow?"

He Shen said, "It will be too late tomorrow. This is a very urgent matter. Miss Xiaoyue, please be flexible and let me in."

Du Xiaoyue said, "Okay," and let Heshen in. Heshen bowed to express his gratitude.
