Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Chapter 159: Dream of the Red Chamber Revisionist

The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "She's not a bad person. It's just that after helping Cao Xueqin write Dream of the Red Chamber for a while, she's become like a drug addict. She always thinks she's Lin Daiyu."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "According to the Empress Dowager's opinion, how should this matter be handled?"

The Queen Mother said, "Xiangyun has read too many books. A woman will eventually return to her husband. Don't let others laugh at you. It will pass over in time."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "But Chen Weiyuan is already in jail."

The Queen Mother said, "What? Imprisoned? What crime did he commit?"

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "He is guilty of murder."

The Queen Mother said, "If that's the case, then she should marry someone else. We can't let her be a widow for the rest of her life. A woman should always have someone to rely on."

The Emperor said, "The Empress Dowager is right." He thought to himself, "Mo Li, you are really good. You even put Chen Weiyuan in jail. You are really good at taking over other people's wives."

……

Li was able to walk around the room.

Mo Li walked in.

Li Neng smiled flatteringly and said, "Oh, Lord Mo."

Mo Li said, "Li Neng, do you know why I came to see you?"

Li Neng smiled and said, "I don't know."

At this time, Fukang'an walked in and said, "Oh, what a coincidence, Lord Mo is here too." He saw that he was holding an imperial edict in his hand.

"Li Neng can accept the order." Fu Kang'an said seriously.

Li Neng immediately knelt down and said, "I accept your order."

Fu Kang'an said, "The Emperor has issued an edict stating that the Grand Councilor Heshen has reported that the bookseller Li Neng has illegally published books, which is detrimental to public morals. He is to be expelled from the capital and sent back to his native place in the northwest. This is my decree."

Li Neng said, "Thank...yes."

Fu Kang'an looked at Mo Li and said, "Sir Mo, congratulations! The Emperor has appointed you as the Divine Judge, the Official in Charge of Wenyuan Pavilion, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Editor of Dream of the Red Chamber. Sir Mo, please come to the palace immediately to express your gratitude."

Mo Li said, "I'll go into the palace now." Then he turned and left.

Fu Kang'an said to Li Neng, "Get out of the capital within one hour. Humph."

……

"Master, I treated Heshen like this, and he treated me like this." Li Neng said with tears and snot.

Chen Weiyuan said, "I told you not to give him the Golden Seal of the First Emperor, but you didn't listen. Now, you can't even stay in the capital. If you had exchanged the Golden Seal of the First Emperor for money, it would have been enough for you to live a carefree life, but you just wouldn't listen. Then again, I gave you the Golden Seal, and I plan to get it back."

Li Neng asked in confusion, "Master, you're going to die soon, why do you need the golden seal?"

Chen Weiyuan said: "I can give it to Xiao Tao." Xiao Tao is Xiangyun, and Xiangyun's surname is Tao.

"Although Xiao Tao has wronged me, she is my wife after all. I am about to die, so who else can I give her to if not her?" Chen Weiyuan continued.

Li Neng said, "Master, please give it to me. After all, I have done so much for you. Xiangyun doesn't seem to be of much help in this matter."

Chen Weiyuan said: "But I loved her after all."

Li Neng said: "But she doesn't love you."

Chen Weiyuan said: "She was bewitched by Dream of the Red Chamber. If it weren't for Dream of the Red Chamber, she wouldn't have treated me like this. I know she loved me before."

Li Neng thought it was hard to say.

……

Mo Li walked up to Emperor Gai Zhang.

Heshen made strange gestures.

I saw Emperor Gai Zhang sitting on the railing with his eyes closed and resting.

Mo Li understood He Shen's meaning and said nothing.
