Chapter 567 A dead horse becomes a living horse doctor
Mo Li walked up to Emperor Gai Zhang, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please reconsider."
Emperor Gaizhang said impatiently, "Step down."
Mo Li was about to speak, to spout some profound truths, when Heshen said to him, "Lord Mo, let's go."
Mo Li didn't move.
Heshen continued, "Let's go."
Mo Li then followed him away from the scene.
Emperor Gai Zhang took another sip of tea and looked at Du Xiaoyue.
Du Xiaoyue clasped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, this humble woman will take her leave."
Emperor Gaizhang said, "Go."
Du Xiaoyue knew that Emperor Gai Zhang was pretending to be confused, and unwilling to say anything more, she turned and left the scene.
After Mo Li and Heshen left, Heshen couldn't help but laugh.
Mo Li said, "Lord He, do you mean I've wasted my time?"
Heshen said, "Clever."
Mo Li said, "It wasn't a complete waste of time. At least I made the Emperor aware that you cheated."
Heshen said, "It's no use, the Emperor doesn't believe me."
Mo Li said, "Lord He, this matter is not over yet. Let's wait and see."
After saying that, he walked forward, with Heshen following behind him. Heshen said, "Lord Mo is right, let's wait and see. It's nothing more than you disgusting me and me disgusting you. Let's see who disgusts whom this time."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Mo Li looked at his retreating figure with a pained expression.
At this moment, Du Xiaoyue came out and said, "Brother Li, what should we do next?"
Mo Li said, "It seems that Heshen is not so easy to bring down. Although the Emperor is from my hometown and should trust me, it seems that he cannot do without Heshen."
Du Xiaoyue said, "The Emperor and you both live in the capital. You said the Emperor is from your hometown, which makes sense. So the question is, why can't the Emperor do without Heshen?"
Mo Li said, "Heshen is like a treasure trove. With him around, the world's treasures can be gathered together. When the national treasury needs money, the emperor can take money out of this treasure trove."
Du Xiaoyue nodded, not quite understanding.
……
"Students leave."
The examiners stood beside the candidates.
The words fell.
The candidates stood up, packed their belongings, and left the examination room.
Mo Li and Du Xiaoyue stood together in front of the stone lions at the gate.
Du Xiaoyue said, "Brother Li, just as you said, there really is a place where those Hanlin scholars are hiding in Heshen's mansion."
Mo Li said, "Actually, I thought of that a long time ago, but now that everyone has probably left, we can't convince the Emperor of what we're saying."
Du Xiaoyue said, "Heshen is too cunning."
Mo Li said, "Fortunately, you didn't neglect your duties. The firecrackers you set off scared away all the pigeons, and the crippled pigeon with the note tied to its leg that you caught made the Emperor vaguely suspect that Heshen had some problems. That's enough. Xiaoyue, go home and rest."
Du Xiaoyue said, "Brother Li, I really admire you. The invisibility talisman, slingshot, and pebbles you gave me have all come in handy. Brother Li, tell me honestly, are you a god descended to earth?"
Mo Li said, "More or less, or rather, I am a god among mortals."
Du Xiaoyue said, "Then, Brother Li, is there anything else I can do?"
Mo Li thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you go and have a good talk with Miss Zhao Qing."
Du Xiaoyue thought for a moment and said, "Brother Li, are you planning to send me as a mediator?"
Mo Li said, "That's about right. Just tell her that if anything happens to her, I, Mo Li, am willing to take her place. But if it involves the laws of the country, then I absolutely cannot make an exception."
Du Xiaoyue pouted and said, "Will saying that help?"
Mo Li said, "Let's try anything, even if it's a dead end. Let's go."
Du Xiaoyue said "oh" and left the scene.
