Some concubines even stripped naked and lay down in the snow to cool off.

Yun Qingluo slightly curved her lips; she was the best at repaying kindness with kindness.

Mo Beichen glanced at Yun Qingluo, waved his hand, and Mo Feng withdrew.

Seeing that Mo Beichen showed no suspicion whatsoever, Yun Qingluo couldn't help but ask, "Achen, don't you suspect that I did it?"

"Even if you did it, it doesn't matter." Mo Beichen picked up a piece of fish and put it in Yun Qingluo's bowl.

Yun Qingluo felt a warmth in her heart. "Hehe, it was me who did it. Those women were so wicked. You were bullied by them when you were young in the palace. Now I'm avenging you."

Yun Qingluo covered up the fact that those people had poisoned her, because she didn't want Mo Beichen to worry.

She was afraid that if Mo Beichen found out that the emperor had ordered the poisoning, he would storm the palace, which would be a real problem.

Although she wanted to overthrow the regime, this was not the way.

In his previous life, Mo Beichen worked hard to protect the country, but the emperor thought about killing him every day. Since the emperor could not tolerate him, what did it matter if he was overthrown?

Mo Beichen felt a surge of warmth in his heart upon hearing Yun Qingluo's words. She was actually trying to stand up for him.

"Nonsense, what if they find out you've hurt yourself?" Mo Beichen was already thinking about how to handle the aftermath.

Yun Qingluo said in a coquettish voice, "Oh, with you here, I'm not afraid at all."

Besides, they wouldn't suspect her at all.

The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.

"Useless! A bunch of useless people! You can't even find the cause of the illness. What am I doing raising you?" The Emperor angrily kicked the imperial physician.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. It is our incompetence that has led to this." A group of imperial physicians knelt down in fear and apologized.

"Get out! If you can't cure them, drag them out and behead them!" The crowd retreated in fear.

After the room fell silent, the emperor suddenly asked, "Could it be her?"

A hoarse voice sounded from the shadows, "The concubines who didn't go to the Empress's palace today also contracted the disease, it shouldn't be her."
