Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Forbidden City.

Jinluan Palace.

"Long live my emperor."

All the civil and military officials spoke in unison and knelt down to pay their respects to the Emperor.

Emperor Gai Zhang sat upright on the dragon throne and said, "My dear ministers, please stand up."

"Long live thanks."

All the civil and military officials spoke in unison and stood up.

Emperor Gai Zhang looked at Mo Li and said, "Mo Li."

Mo Li stepped forward and said, "I'm here."

Emperor Gai Zhang touched the jade ring on his ring finger and asked, "How is the task I assigned to you going?"

Without even thinking, Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I failed to complete the task assigned by Your Majesty."

"Nonsense, you told me before that you knew where Xiumei was." Heshen couldn't help but get angry, thinking that he had been deceived again.

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Heshen, do you understand the rules? Don't interrupt me when I'm asking questions."

He Shen said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to do this either, but I can't help it. I heard Mo Li say before that he knew where Xiu Mei was, but I didn't expect it to be a lie."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Alright, alright, stop talking. I'll ask you something. Mo Li, are you really unable to find Xiumei?"

Mo Li said, "I am incompetent. I really don't know where Xiumei has gone."

Emperor Gai Zhang looked at He Shen and said, "My dear Lord He."

Heshen stepped forward and said, "Your servant is here."

Emperor Gai Zhang asked, "Chun Tao has married into your family, right?"

He Shen said: "Your Majesty, she hasn't married yet."

Emperor Gai Zhang looked at Mo Li and said, "Mo Li."

Mo Li said, "I'm here."

Emperor Gai Zhang continued, "What does my imperial edict say?"

Mo Li said, "If I can't find Xiumei, I will marry Chuntao to Fengshen Yinde. But Your Majesty, haven't you already rescinded your order?"

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I almost forgot about this. Forget it."

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, even if you don't take back your order, Chun Tao will not be able to marry into the He Mansion."

Emperor Gai Zhang became interested and asked, "Why?"

Mo Li said, "First, Chun Tao has married Zhu Junhao, and they have already had their wedding night. Second, I discovered this morning that Chun Tao is also missing."

"Missing?" Emperor Gai Zhang was stunned and looked at him and said, "You let her go, right?"

Mo Li said, "I deserve to die. I was the one who let her go."

Emperor Gai Zhang looked at Heshen and said, "My dear minister."

Heshen called out "Your Majesty".

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "What crime should Mo Li be punished for doing this?"

He Shen said: "This is clearly disobeying the imperial order and deceiving the emperor."

Mo Li said, "I'm wondering what's wrong with you. Didn't you withdraw the order? How can you be accused of disobeying the emperor's order?"

Emperor Gai Zhang angrily said, "Mo Li, is this the tone you use when speaking to the Emperor? You are really getting more and more outrageous."

He Shen echoed, "That's right, Your Majesty. Mo Li is becoming more and more outrageous. He should be dragged out and given twenty lashes of the cane to punish him for his disrespect."

Mo Li looked calm and composed, thinking, just fight.

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Come here, drag Mo Li out and give him twenty lashes of the cane."

Two officials came in and pulled Mo Li out. Just as they reached the door, Du Xiaoyue came over and said, "Brother Li."

Mo Li replied Xiaoyue.

Seeing this, Emperor Gai Zhang widened his eyes and also said Xiaoyue.

Du Xiaoyue said, "Xiumei is back." She turned around and called Xiumei.

At this time, Xiumei also walked in.

Emperor Gai Zhang quickly stepped down from the dragon throne, came to Xiumei, and said, "Xiumei, you are really back."

"Your Majesty, Xiumei has come back to ask Your Majesty to pardon Lord Mo." Xiumei clasped her hands together.

Emperor Gai Zhang nodded slightly and said, "Mo Li, if Xiu Mei hadn't pleaded for you, I would never show leniency. Let go."

The two officials immediately let go and walked out.
