Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

He Shen said, "What does this mean?"

Mo Li also pretended to stutter and said, "This... This is what it means: you are in my circle, and I am in your circle."

He Shen looked as if his food had turned sour when he heard this and said, "Oh, isn't it sour? It really is."

Mo Li said, "This... Your Majesty, do you think this is that... that old story about drawing circles? You said Xiumei was a chivalrous woman. Even if she had feelings for me and wrote me a letter, she wouldn't have to be so childish as to draw a few circles for me. What kind of thing is this?"

Mo Li had already thought of how to explain it, and continued, "Oh...it must be the work of the Lord."

After that, he stuffed the paper into Heshen's hand and said, "Master He, take this."

He Shen looked angry and said, "Master Mo, I have been standing here for a long time, and I haven't said a word to you."

Mo Li said: "You..."

He Shen folded the paper and said, "You can't do this, Your Majesty. Didn't you hear that? He keeps trying to change the subject and escape his guilt."

Mo Li said: "The key is that I am not guilty either. What crime have I committed?"

He Shen said, "Mo Li, please listen to what I have to say. Your Majesty, please don't be fooled."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Humph, do you think I will always be so easily fooled by him?"

After saying that, he said Mo Li.

Mo Li said, "I'm here."

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "You let Xiumei go without permission. Your crime is unforgivable."

"Wait, Your Majesty, what crime have I committed? Xiumei is not a wanted criminal by the court. Why do you always think that I am guilty today? What's going on?" Mo Li looked innocent.

He Shen said, "Mo Li, you are making up your mind."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Mo Li, please let me finish what I am saying. I remember that you have done a lot of good things, and I cannot bear to exile you to the frontier. So I will punish you by sending you to Chongwenmen as a gatekeeper to guard the gate. Is this suitable for you?"

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. I haven't committed any crime. Why would you demote me?"

Emperor Gai Zhang said: "If you don't want to, then I will change my mind."

Mo Li hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, Your Majesty, I'll go right away."

Turn around and leave.

As soon as he left, Heshen and Emperor Gai Zhang burst into laughter and seemed very happy.

……

Mo Li sat in the shed and drank tea leisurely.

He knew that Emperor Gai Zhang would soon reinstate her, so he had no worries.

I'm in a good mood.

At this moment, Ji Xiaolan came over, sat down in front of him, and said, "Brother Mo, how did you end up in this situation?"

A face full of worry.

Mo Li said, "Brother Ji, don't worry, I will be fine."

Ji Xiaolan said, "Brother Mo, where does your confidence come from?"

Mo Li said, "I just had Master Wu tell my fortune. I was only demoted temporarily and will be reinstated soon."

Ji Xiaolan said, "That's good. I was wondering why you bothered Heshen for no reason. Now you feel better, don't you?"

Mo Li said, "I didn't mean to provoke him, but I really can't stand his behavior."

As the two were talking, Heshen and Liu Quan, dressed in casual clothes, walked over.

Mo Li shouted, "Stop! This guy is obviously not a good person. Why don't you stop him and ask him?"

The gatekeepers immediately surrounded Heshen and the other man.

Heshen burst into laughter when he heard this.

Mo Li was also happy, stood up and walked towards Heshen.

He Shen laughed and said, "What are you making such a fuss about?"

Mo Li reached out and moved the spear that was blocking He Shen away.

He Shen continued, "People say that as you rise in power, your temper worsens. Now that you've gotten to this point, you're even more aggressive than before."

After saying that, he glanced at Ji Xiaolan.

He frowned.

It turned out that Ji Xiaolan was smoking there by himself and ignored Heshen.
