Xiumei said affectionately, "Your Majesty, take care of yourself." Then she turned and left.

Emperor Gai Zhang called her name, but she did not respond.

On Mo Li's side, Du Xiaoyue brought him a bowl of hot tea. Mo Li said, "Xiaoyue, I've found the kite."

Du Xiaoyue said, "Brother Li, the emperor has given you three days to get it back. Why are you in such a hurry to get it back?"

Mo Li said, "I'm afraid if I don't find it, my official position will be in jeopardy."

Du Xiaoyue asked, "How did you find it? Doesn't this kite fly wherever the wind blows?"

Mo Li said, "I asked Master Wu to calculate it." In fact, what does this have to do with Wu Shudu? It was purely because he knew the plot in advance.

At this time, a servant came in and said, "Sir, the master has arrived."

Heshen and Liu Quan came over.

Mo Li stood up and said, "Hey, Master He, come on, come on, please sit down. Please sit down."

Heshen thanked him twice and sat down.

Du Xiaoyue said, "Have some tea, sir," and handed the tea bowl over.

Heshen was a little hesitant.

Mo Li explained: "Oh, yes, yes, I haven't drunk it yet, you use it first, you use it first."

He Shen smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Xiaoyue."

Mo Li asked, "Master He, has the Emperor ordered me to be dismissed from my position?"

He Shen laughed and said, "Hey, look at what you said. How would I know this? I came to visit you specially. By the way, I want to ask, have you found the kite?"

Mo Li didn't answer. Du Xiaoyue said, "Master He, you're asking even though you already know the answer. The kite's string has broken, so it flew away long ago."

He Shen sighed and said, "Yes, the kite will never come back, and the white clouds will float in the sky for thousands of years."

Du Xiaoyue said, "Master He, are you here to laugh at our Brother Li?"

Mo Li said, "Hey, Xiaoyue, don't be rude."

He Shen smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Miss Xiaoyue is so chivalrous and brave. I admire you, Mr. Mo."

"What does this mean, sir?" Mo Li asked in confusion, taking a puff of his cigarette.

He Shen said, "I have three thousand guests under my tutelage, but I can't find anyone like Xiao Yue and Mo Chou. I envy them so much."

"You are too modest, sir. With a single command from you and sir, corrupt officials everywhere will act accordingly. If you say something now, it will be more powerful than the emperor."

He Shen's expression suddenly became very serious. He said, "Don't say that, Lord Mo. If this gets to the emperor's ears, we will both be punished."

Mo Li disagreed and said, "You can't say it, but I can." After saying that, he took a puff of cigarette.

He Shen asked seriously, "What's the matter?"

Mo Li said, "Anyway, the kite is gone this time, and I'm doomed. It doesn't matter whether I tell you or not, it would be a waste if I don't tell you."

He Shen smiled and said, "Look at what you said. Lord Mo, this kite with a broken string is in the sky, of course it can't be found."

Mo Li said, "Can this kite with a broken string still be found in its sleeve?"

He Shen said, "Hey, how did you know? Lord Mo is truly a master of predictions."

Ask Liu Quan to take out the paper.

Liu Quan took the paper out of his sleeve and handed it to He Shen, then fanned him with his fan.

Heshen unfolded the paper.

Du Xiaoyue took a look and muttered, "This is not a kite."

He Shen said, "This is the blueprint for the Eighteenth Princess to make a kite." He placed the paper on the table for Mo Li to see.

Then he continued, "Where can you find a kite with a broken string? In my opinion, Lord Mo might as well make a new kite according to this pattern. The emperor and the eighteenth princess will be unable to tell the real one from the fake one. Once the task is completed, isn't it done?"
