Chapter 555 Xu Youqing is not dead
Wang Xi said, "This...this..."
Emperor Gaizhang knew he was lying at a glance and said, "Guards, seize Wang Xi."
Wang Xi shouted, "Your Majesty, it is indeed Mo Li who conspired with me to frame Lord He."
As he spoke, the guards had already taken him away.
……
In the imperial study room.
Mo Li and He Shen knelt before Emperor Gai Zhang.
Heshen glanced at Mo Li and said, "Your Majesty, Mo Li colluded with an internal traitor and should be punished. In the past, even princes who associated with internal traitors would have their titles and stipends reduced. Today, Mo Li must be punished."
Emperor Gaizhang said, "Wang Xi is currently imprisoned. Let's wait for the interrogation results before making any further statements."
Mo Li said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right. We must get to the bottom of this matter and not let Heshen get away with it."
Emperor Gaizhang said, "Since ancient times, things in the palace are the easiest to spread as rumors. Because everyone's eyes are on the palace and the court, as soon as there is any disturbance, they will fabricate and exaggerate it, creating a whole series of rumors."
He swallowed hard and continued, "Moreover, things that are not yet settled are the easiest to exaggerate and distort. There was a case in the Ming Dynasty court where someone used a club to hit a red pill, which caused a great uproar among the people and made the court lose all its authority."
Heshen said, "That's right, but we can't just let Mo Li go like this."
Mo Li said, "We can't let Heshen go, can we?"
Emperor Gaizhang said, "No matter who did this, I cannot simply settle the matter. However, matters in the palace cannot be tried in the same way as those of ordinary people."
Heshen said, "Your Majesty is right, this servant will obey Your Majesty."
Emperor Gaizhang said, "Alright, I am truly tired. You may all leave."
The two men said at the same time, "Your humble servants take their leave." They rose and left the imperial study, bumping into each other as they did so.
Upon arriving at He Shen's residence, Mo Li said, "He Shen, this isn't over between us."
Heshen said, "Yes, you're right, it's not over yet, of course it's not over yet. If the two of us are finished, what kind of excitement will there be in the Great Xuan Kingdom, right?"
Mo Li took a step forward, stopped, and said, "He Lin, you're still here, you're still here."
He Lin sneered and said, "Wherever my brother is, that's where I am."
Mo Li said "okay" twice and left the scene.
Not long after he left, Heshen looked at his younger brother and asked, "Helin, has Xu Youqing been locked up?"
He Lin said, "Guan? I had him thrown into the canal a long time ago."
"You killed him?" Heshen feigned surprise.
"Brother, is it possible to leave anyone alive after something like this?" He Lin frowned.
He Shen smiled upon hearing this.
……
Thanks to the amulet's protection, Xu Youqing survived the fall into the canal and was given a second chance at life.
He sat by the river, sighing and muttering to himself, "Lord Mo, bringing down Heshen is as difficult as climbing to heaven. Don't blame me for not helping you; I've already done my best."
……
Mo Li knew that Xu Youqing was not dead, but she didn't want to ask him for help anymore, and she had no intention of going to find him.
In any case, if you want to bring down Heshen, Wang Xi is enough.
……
"Hey, take a look, have a look. Buying pigeons, we have domestic pigeons, we have free-range pigeons... Come and see, good pigeons, we have all kinds of pigeons. Sir, take a look at the pigeons."
Heshen walked up to the stall owner and asked, "Boss, are these your pigeons?"
The shopkeeper said, "These are my pigeons. I have all kinds of pigeons. I have jade-winged pigeons, eye-shaped pigeons, iron-winged pigeons, four pieces of jade, magpie-patterned pigeons, and everything else."
