Chapter 550 A Book on the Face
The two of them were both leaning on the table, looking at the map.
Mo Li said, "Think about it, he should leave the capital by now."
He looked up at Du Xiaoyue, who responded with a soft "hmm".
Mo Li remembered something and said, "We can expose him about stealing the exam questions tomorrow. Let's see what that brat Heshen does then."
Du Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.
……
The morning light is dim.
Forbidden City.
Royal study room.
Emperor Gaizhang stood in front of the table.
Behind him, a eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Lord He and Lord Mo are waiting outside the door."
Emperor Gaizhang was reading a memorial when he turned to look at the eunuch and said, "Summon it."
The eunuch said "yes" and went to carry out the order.
Approaching Heshen and Mo Li, he said, "Lord Xuanhe and Lord Mo, please enter the hall."
The two walked in with synchronized steps.
"Your humble servant pays homage to Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"
They knelt down at the same time.
Emperor Gaizhang put down the memorial and said, "Get up, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two stood up at the same time.
Emperor Gaizhang rubbed his lower back with his right hand and exclaimed, "My energy and spirit are not what they used to be. Before, I could review memorials at night and be full of energy the next day. But these past two nights I've been reading, and I'm exhausted during the day."
Heshen said, "Look at what you're saying, it's not like that, it's not like that, Your Majesty. Look at you, even though you've stayed up so many nights, your complexion is much better than mine."
"Is that so?" Emperor Gai Zhang smiled.
Heshen looked at Mo Li and said, "Mo Li, come and take a look. Doesn't the Emperor look much better than me?"
Mo Li said with a smile, "I have to see it, I have to see it, it's not easy to see."
Heshen laughed and said, "What's so hard to see? It's obvious at a glance. The Emperor's complexion is truly excellent. Say that the Emperor's complexion is good, so that the Emperor won't have to worry about his health."
Mo Li stared at Emperor Gai Zhang's face, then suddenly revealed a look of extreme horror.
He exclaimed, "Oh dear!"
Emperor Gai Zhang was also startled and asked, "Mo Li, what's wrong?"
Mo Li pretended to be very scared and said, "Your Majesty, let me rub my eyes."
Heshen, who was standing nearby, said, "What the hell is going on?"
Emperor Gaizhang exclaimed, "Mo Li, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with my face?"
Heshen echoed this sentiment.
Mo Li cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to come closer and take another look."
After saying that, he walked towards Emperor Gaizhang, stared at his face, and after a while, exclaimed, "Oh no!"
Heshen and Emperor Gaizhang both looked at him nervously.
Mo Li said, "I've just seen a ghost."
Heshen couldn't help but say, "Mo Li, you're talking utter nonsense. How dare you say you saw a ghost on the Emperor's face? This is extremely disrespectful and you should be punished."
Mo Li still looked at Emperor Gai Zhang with a fearful expression.
Emperor Gaizhang chuckled and said, "Stop acting, Mo Li, just say what you have to say."
Mo Li said, "No way, Your Majesty, how could this be?"
Emperor Gaizhang said, "What's impossible about that?"
Heshen also echoed.
Mo Li said, "Your Majesty, I just looked at your face and I could tell what kind of books Your Majesty has been reading lately. How is that possible?"
Heshen exclaimed in surprise.
Emperor Gaizhang said, "Mo Li, the so-called physiognomy of the hemp-robed man is nothing more than predicting people's fortunes, and it is full of absurd and nonsensical words. I don't believe in these things. How could you read my face? What have I read?"
Mo Li gave a serious "hmm".
