"Oh?" Emperor Gai Zhang was stunned when he heard this.

He thought to himself that this was why she cut her hair short.

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Did you do anything inappropriate or intimidating during your custody, which forced her to cut her long hair?"

He Shen said nervously, "Oh, how could I be so bold? The Emperor has wronged me. Yes, yes... no, how could the Emperor be wrong? The Emperor is never wrong. It's still my fault. No... Actually, I am not wrong either. It was Xiumei who was wrong. She mistakenly thought that the Emperor gave her the golden scissors so that she could cut her long hair."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Nonsense! I am a man of both military and literary talents. How can I not tolerate a weak woman? Even if she is from the underworld, she can be disciplined and reformed. She can be made a new person. Heshen, I handed her over to you, and you dared to make the decision on your own? You are quite courageous."

A pat on the dragon throne.

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, Xiumei was originally a chivalrous woman. It was only natural for her to cut her long hair and join the Lai Fu Escort Agency. The people even praised your wisdom for this."

He Shen said quickly: "Yes, yes, Lord Mo is right. Everyone praises the emperor for his wisdom, wisdom."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I am coming to you to ask for your hand over Xiumei. If you cannot hand her over within three days, I will make you a monk."

Heshen knelt down and said, "I admit my guilt. I admit my guilt. I will go find him right away. I will go find him right away." He then trotted away from the scene.

The officials looked in the direction he left.

After a while, all the officials walked out of the hall.

Heshen hid behind a pillar. When he saw Mo Li coming out, he called his name a few times and asked him to stay.

Mo Li turned around and asked, "Hey, Master He, you haven't left yet?"

He Shen said, "No, no, no, I am waiting for you here."

Mo Li sat on the steps.

Heshen also sat down and sighed.

Mo Li took off his shoes, shook off the dust on them, and asked, "Master He, what's the matter?"

He Shen stammered, "Uh... uh... I really want to thank you for what you did just now."

"Now you believe in my ability to read faces, right?" Mo Li was very proud.

He Shen said, "If you can do me one more favor and help me get through this, I will owe you a great favor and I will repay you handsomely one day."

Mo Li said: "But...how can I help you get through this?"

He Shen thought for a moment and said, "Well, the Emperor hasn't come up with a couplet yet? You think of a good one for him. Let me calm down first so I can go find Xiu Mei."

Mo Li said, "My Lord, we swore an oath by high-five that no one can contradict the Emperor's couplet. How come you completely forgot it?"

"No, I know." Heshen forced a smile.

Mo Li said, "You're not afraid of breaking your oath, but I'm afraid of breaking it and suffering the consequences of getting mouth sores."

He Shen said, "Okay, okay, Master Mo, even if you don't want to break your oath, could you at least offer some advice?"

"That's fine." Mo Li said and fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he said, "Xiumei is a weak woman. She has only been away from the capital for three days. How far can she go? Besides, she has already joined the Laifu Escort Agency. The escort routes are all set in advance. As long as we find the escort team, she may be among them."

Thinking of something, he continued, "Hey, Lord He, don't you have followers all over the world? Mobilize them all and go find them. Hey, but you're in a desperate situation now, so don't be too ostentatious. Don't ask anyone you don't trust."

He Shen nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "Yes, yes, Lord Mo is right. However, as man proposes, God disposes. What if I try my best and still can't find it, what should I do?"

Mo Li smoked his cigarette and said, "Hmm... Lord He, you're really smart all your life but foolish for a moment. You've done your best, and the Emperor has vented his anger. If he really can't find Xiumei, how can he still make things difficult for you?"

He Shen was a little hesitant to believe what he said, "I used to think so too."
