Mo Li continued, "Mo Chou went to southern Fujian again at such a critical time. If she's still here, she can find out more about it. We can work together to find a solution."

Du Xiaoyue said: "That's right, at this critical moment, my sister left again."

At this moment, she suddenly thought of someone and said, "Brother Li, didn't my sister accept a disciple before? What was her name? ...Oh, Xiumei."

"Xiumei? Where is she now?" Mo Li seemed to see a ray of hope.

At this time, an official came in and reported: "Master Mo, there is someone outside the door who wants to see you."

Mo Li wondered who it could be and said, "Let him in."

Xiumei walked in and said, "Master Mo, my master asked me to come find you. She said that while she's away, I'll be assisting you with the case on her behalf."

Mo Li said, "Xiumei, you came at the perfect time. Now there's a solution."

Xiumei said, "By the way, Mr. Mo, there was a commotion on the streets today. They said there was trouble in Jiaxing Prefecture."

Mo Li said, "Making trouble?"

Xiumei said, "It's said that the villagers are resisting paying the imperial tax and are causing quite a stir with the government."

Mo Li feigned surprise and said, "How dare the common people resist paying the imperial grain? Isn't this taking a risk?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "It must be those corrupt officials who forced him to do so."

Du Xiaoyue said, "Brother Li, what can we do?" When she heard Xiumei say this, she felt that those people were quite pitiful and felt chivalrous.

Mo Li thought for a moment and said, "By the way, you should go see the emperor immediately."

Du Xiaoyue said, "Go see the emperor?"

Mo Li said, “Yes.”

Then he said to Xiumei, "Xiumei, let's go find Su Qinglian together."

Xiumei nodded.

She didn't know who Su Qinglian was yet, so Mo Li told her about Su Qinglian on the way.

……

Stamp the emperor's presence.

Du Xiaoyue walked over and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Xiaoyue greets you." Then she bowed.

The Stamp Emperor flipped through the book without looking up and said, "You are mad at me again."

Du Xiaoyue said: "No, Sister Mochou went back to southern Fujian. There is no one to play with me, so I came here to play with the emperor."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Why don't you play with Mo Li?"

Du Xiaoyue said, "It's so boring to play with him. Besides, I still have to serve Princess Hexiao. Isn't this what Your Majesty ordered me to do?"

The Emperor closed the book, looked at her and said, "Did you break up?"

You have to know that Emperor Gai Zhang is a modern human who traveled through time and space, so it’s not strange for him to say these two words.

Du Xiaoyue said: "What do you mean by breaking up?"

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "In my place, breaking up means separating two people, especially between a man and a woman."

Du Xiaoyue suddenly realized and said, "Your side, where is your side?"

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "Let's not talk about this. You haven't answered my question yet."

Du Xiaoyue said: "No."

Emperor Gai Zhang shook his folding fan and said, "You are not as obedient as Mo Chou. You have your way, and Mo Chou has her way. If you really want to go, I will reward you. From now on, I will have peace of mind." After saying this, he smiled slightly.

Du Xiaoyue said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Didn't you say I'm still your friend? If I were a man, you would still marry me."

Emperor Gai Zhang said calmly: "I was just joking with you."

Du Xiaoyue said, "It's all in the opera. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei swore brotherhood. Isn't Liu Bei the emperor?"

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "That was when he was a commoner. Liu Bei was born into a family of straw sandals. He also enjoyed the pleasures of the Jianghu for a few days, so he had so many good friends."
