Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

At this time, a eunuch's voice came: "The imperial edict has arrived." Three eunuchs walked in.

The leader said, "Mo Li, receive the imperial decree."

"Your Highness Mo Li accepts your order," Mo Li said. Everyone knelt down.

The eunuch read aloud, "The Empress Dowager's decree: I have received a report from Grand Councilor Heshen, alleging that Xiumei is unfaithful to her husband and that the Mo family's reputation has been tarnished. This is all due to Mo Li's lax governance. Upon receipt of this decree, a one-year salary will be deducted as a warning. I decree this."

Mo Li said, "I accept your command and thank you."

He stood up, took the imperial edict, and continued, "Thank you, eunuch." The rest of the people also stood up.

The eunuch said, "Master Mo, the Queen Mother is very angry about Xiumei's matter. Please be careful."

Mo Li said, “Thank you, Eunuch, for the reminder.”

"Goodbye." The eunuch bowed.

"No need to see you off." Mo Li lowered his head.

The eunuchs left the room.

Mo Li sighed and continued, "See? He Shen's revenge has arrived."

Xiumei said, "Master Mo, it's all Xiumei's fault. Xiumei has implicated you."

"Oh, this is nothing, it's just the beginning." Mo Li laughed, "Heshen's vicious tricks will continue to come."

Xiumei said sadly: "This is all Xiumei's fault. Xiumei feels ashamed of you, sir."

Mo Li suddenly said seriously, "Xiumei, please don't think that way. A year's salary deduction is nothing. Even if it means taking away my official hat, I will definitely protect Xiumei."

"Sir." Xiumei knelt down before Mo Li. Mo Li quickly supported her, saying her name and indicating that she should not perform such a grand ceremony.

Du Xiaoyue said, "Xiumei, I'm here to protect you." Mo Li said, "That's right." Xiumei looked at Du Xiaoyue, then at Mo Li, and was deeply moved.

……

midnight.

in the living room.

Liu Quan poured Heshen a full glass of wine.

Heshen picked up the wine glass, took a sip, picked up the chopsticks, picked up some food and put it in his mouth to chew.

At this time, Fengshen Yinde walked in and said, "Dad."

He Shen said, "Ade, why haven't you slept yet? It's already three o'clock in the morning."

Fengshen Yinde sat down and said, "My child can't sleep."

He Shen asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Fengshen Yinde said, "I can still vividly remember the scene at the Qionglin Banquet."

"Me too." He Shen nodded and said, "I will never forget this banquet."

Fengshen Yinde said: "The child will never forget it."

He Shen angrily said, "This is all Ji Xiaolan's fault. And Mo Li as well."

"Ji Xiaolan? Mo Li? I don't know what they did. I only care about Chuntao." Fengshen Yinde said affectionately.

"Yes, it's Mo Li who's behind Chun Tao." Heshen picked up some more food and put it in his mouth to chew.

Fengshen Yinde said, "Dad, I can't forget Chuntao."

He Shen said, "Yes, I can't forget them either. There are also Ji Xiaolan and Mo Li."

Fengshen Yinde said, "Dad, you have to make the decision for me."

Heshen said viciously: "Don't worry, kid. Dad will make sure they are torn to pieces. Otherwise, I would be unworthy of being your father." He took a sip of wine and put the glass heavily on the table.

Fengshen Yinde realized that his father had misunderstood and explained, "Broken to pieces? No, no, Dad, that's not what I meant."

He Shen was stunned when he heard this. He put down his wine glass, patted Fengshen Yinde on the shoulder, and said, "It seems my son is soft-hearted. Okay, okay, let's not let him be torn to pieces. Let's send him to exile a thousand miles away, okay?"

Fengshen Yinde realized that his father had misunderstood him. He shook his head and said, "No, Dad, what are you talking about?"

He Shen was stunned and said, "Dad has to vent his anger for you."

Fengshen Yinde said, "No, Dad. I...I want to marry Chuntao."

He Shen said: "What's so unforgettable about a maid? There are many beautiful women in the world, why be obsessed with one flower?"
