Ji Xiaolan: Kill Qianlong at the beginning

Chapter 399: Mo Li forces Emperor Gai Zhang to marry Xiu Mei

Mo Li took two steps forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "I thank the Emperor for not hitting me."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I didn't really want to hit you."

Du Xiaoyue came over and said, "Brother Li, the emperor said that he didn't intend to hit you."

Mo Li said loudly: "I don't deserve to be beaten, but there is one person who deserves to be killed."

Emperor Gai Zhang roared, "Who is it?"

Mo Li said, "Xiumei."

Du Xiaoyue was surprised and said, "Brother Li, what are you talking about?"

Mo Li explained, "Xiumei is unmarried and has a child, which is a disgrace to public morals. Openly attending court is a disgrace to the dignity of the Great Xuan Imperial Family."

Looking at someone, he continued, "Excuse me, Mr. Minister of Justice, what is the punishment for Xiumei according to the law?"

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice said, "According to the law, he should be executed."

He Shen walked up to Mo Li and whispered, "Mo Li, are you crazy? What are you up to?"

Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, the law of the land is as strong as a mountain and does not tolerate favoritism. I beg Your Majesty to decree the death of Xiumei."

Du Xiaoyue came to Xiumei, grabbed her arm, and said, "Xiumei, Brother Li is crazy. He actually wants to kill you."

Heshen was stunned.

Xiumei looked at Mo Li and said, "No, Master Mo naturally has his own intentions."

Du Xiaoyue said: "What's the intention? Even our own people don't recognize each other. Heshen must have given him some medicine." She pointed at Heshen.

He Shen whispered to Mo Li, "Mo Li, you are crazy. Xiu Mei has done a great service in saving the emperor, how can she be executed?"

The emperor heard what he said and said, "Your Excellency is right. Xiumei has made great contributions to the country. I will forgive her."

He turned around and walked back to the dragon throne and sat down.

Du Xiaoyue whispered to Xiumei, "They both rebelled today. Heshen saved you, but Li Ge wanted to kill you. They are both sick."

Xiumei said, "No, Master Mo wants to save me."

Du Xiaoyue said, "He wanted to save you, but he kept saying 'behead'. It made me shudder. He didn't mean to save you at all."

"Okay," Mo Li nodded and said, "It's as the Lord said. Xiumei has made great contributions in saving the emperor, so she must be considered."

He looked at someone and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Minister of Justice, is there any precedent according to the Great Xuan Law?"

The Minister of Justice said, "If the Emperor issues an imperial decree, Xiumei can be pardoned."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Gai Zhang said, "I will immediately issue an imperial decree to pardon you."

When Du Xiaoyue heard this, she smiled happily.

Mo Li said, "No, Your Majesty, no."

Du Xiaoyue looked at Mo Li and said, "Brother Li, you are crazy."

Mo Li said, "Although the emperor issued an edict to pardon Xiumei, she...but she still has no face to live in this world."

He Shen nudged Mo Li and said nervously, "Mo Li, be careful with your words. Can we discuss this later?"

Mo Li disagreed and said, "Master He, a woman's reputation is as important as the sky."

Heshen said he knew.

Mo Li continued, "Xiumei is pregnant out of wedlock, and everyone in the world looks down on her. How can she live with the dignity she deserves?" He clapped his hands.

He Shen was furious and shouted, "Mo Li, what do you want?"

Mo Li said, "I don't know. I'm also worried that there is no solution."

He looked at someone and continued, "Please give me some advice, Mr. Minister."

The Minister of Justice said, "If someone is willing to marry Xiumei, she will have a legitimate status and will no longer be a spinster, and this matter will naturally be resolved."

Du Xiaoyue said: "Yes, Xiumei, as long as the child's father is willing to marry you, you will be fine."

Li Qiye said happily, "Oh, this is truly a blessing from heaven. Ah, Xiumei was about to die, but the matter was resolved so easily. Oh, good deeds are truly rewarded, good deeds are rewarded."

He Shen opened his right palm, pushed it forward, and said nervously: "This won't do, this won't do, this won't do."
