Mo Feng's face turned cold. Damn it.

The prince had just come out of the military camp when he immediately went to Tianxiang Restaurant to buy the princess her favorite pastries, and the princess gave the prince such a big surprise.

What a wonderful surprise!

Mo Feng glanced cautiously at Mo Beichen's ashen face and sighed.

It turns out that all the good things this woman has been doing lately were just an act.

Seeing Yun Qingluo agree, Mo Beili, who was in the private room, ignored the unusual tone of her voice and assumed she was just too excited.

"It's nothing serious. You just need to put this medicine in Mo Beichen's wine at the palace banquet." Mo Beili took out a packet of medicine powder.

"What is this?" Yun Qingluo pretended not to know.

"I specially obtained this good medicine from the Southern Frontier. Don't worry about anything else, just do as I say," Mo Beili said, displeased with Yun Qingluo's numerous questions, his tone unfriendly.

"Are you sure he won't notice?" Yun Qingluo was a little curious as to why he was so certain that Mo Beichen wouldn't realize the wine was poisoned.

Mo Beili snorted coldly, "This is medicine I obtained from the Southern Frontier at great expense, it's not poison, he will definitely not notice..."

He'll then be branded with the heinous crimes of adultery in the harem and insubordination. Hmph, let's see who can save him then.

Yun Qingluo froze. No wonder Mo Beichen acted strangely after the palace banquet, disregarding her wishes and grabbing her hand...

But she accepted the medicine but did not administer it, because she disdained to do such a crooked and disgusting thing. So why did Mo Beichen fall for it?

Yun Qingluo's eyes suddenly widened. There was only one explanation: Mo Beichen knew she was going to drug him, but not only did he not expose her, he also cooperated with her.

Was it to put her mind at ease?

Was it to make Mo Beili think that she had drugged him?

Yun Qingluo suppressed the stinging in her eyes, biting her lip hard to restrain her urge to kill Mo Beili.

"Alright, I have other things to do. Just remember to do as I say." Seeing that he had finished explaining, Mo Beili left without even glancing at Yun Qingluo.

Mo Beichen, who was outside the door, had already left.

Yun Qingluo sat blankly in the chair, her memories of her previous life being re-examined.

Mo Beichen knew she wanted to harm him, but he still kept her by his side and helped her create opportunities to harm him.

This man must have loved her terribly in his past life.

What merit does she possess?

Yun Qinglu remained in a daze until it got dark, when An Jiu came to knock on the door and brought her back to her senses.

The past cannot be undone; she still has time to atone for her sins.

After calming herself down, Yun Qingluo had An Jiu buy some pastries before returning home.

When Yun Qingluo returned, she didn't see Mo Beichen. She asked Yun Tao, who said that he had been staying in the study since he returned.

"He didn't eat dinner either?" Yun Qingluo asked Mo Feng from the study doorway.

Mo Feng glanced coldly at Yun Qingluo, then nodded without saying a word.

Yun Qingluo glanced at Mo Feng strangely, wondering why he seemed hostile towards her.

Pushing open the study door, I saw Mo Beichen standing by the window with his back to me, his figure looking very forlorn.

Yun Qingluo walked over and stood next to Mo Beichen. Following his gaze, she looked outside, but it was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

"Ah Chen, why haven't you had dinner?"

Mo Beichen turned to look at Yun Qingluo beside him, his gaze slightly darkening. He swallowed back the question he was about to ask, "Is Luoluo hungry?"

Yun Qingluo nodded. "Hehe, I bought you some pastries, Yun Tao, bring them in."

Then he picked up a piece and handed it to Mo Beichen. Mo Beichen saw the signature pastries of Tianxianglou, looked away, and said indifferently, "Eat them later, I don't really want to eat pastries right now."

Yun Qingluo raised an eyebrow at Mo Beichen, noticing his downcast mood. "Did something happen at the military camp today?"

Mo Beichen shook his head. "It's alright. Just serve the meal if you're hungry."

Then he called Mo Feng in and said, "Take the princess to have a meal."

Yun Qingluo tugged at Mo Beichen's sleeve, her tone somewhat aggrieved, "Aren't you going to have dinner with me?"

Mo Beichen suppressed his impulse, recalling what he had overheard at Tianxiang Restaurant, and turned to walk to the table, saying, "I'm not hungry, I still have official business to attend to, Luoluo, go eat."

Seeing that Mo Beichen seemed busy with official business and didn't want to be disturbed, Yun Qingluo could only purse her lips and leave.

Mo Beichen looked up at Yun Qingluo's back, a cold glint in his eyes, and finally just sighed softly.

Is this dream about to end so soon?

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Mo Beichen assumed it was Mo Feng or Mo Yu, and without looking up, he answered and came in.

It wasn't until she smelled the faint aroma of noodles that she looked up in surprise and saw Yun Qingluo holding a tray and smiling at her.

Yun Qingluo walked to the table next to her, put down the tray, and then came over to take Mo Beichen's hand and act coquettishly, "Achen, I cooked noodles, shall we eat together? I can't eat without you by my side."

Mo Beichen stared intently at Yun Qingluo, then suddenly asked, "Isn't Luoluo tired?"

Aren't you tired of pretending for so long?

Yun Qingluo thought he was referring to the fact that she had gone out and cooked for herself when she came back today, and smiled and said, "I'm not tired at all. I enjoy cooking for Achen."

After saying that, she took Mo Beichen's hand, pulled him to the table, and made him sit down.

“I saw there was bone broth in the kitchen, so I cooked two bowls of bone broth noodles and fried some eggs. Try the noodles and see if they’re good.”

Yun Qingluo placed the noodles in front of Mo Beichen and then put the chopsticks in his hand, indicating that he should eat.

Mo Beichen gave Yun Qingluo a deep look, then silently picked up his chopsticks and lowered his head to eat. He would cherish every day she was willing to be good to him.

Seeing that Mo Beichen had started eating, Yun Qingluo happily sat down to eat her own noodles.

Perhaps because she ate some food in the kitchen, Yun Qingluo could only eat half of it before she couldn't eat anymore, while Mo Beichen finished his entire bowl of noodles.

"Ah Chen, didn't you eat lunch either?"

Mo Beichen stiffened and nodded.

He had intended to go to Tianxianglou to buy her favorite pastries and have lunch with her, but unexpectedly...

He desperately wanted to ask her if it was true. He desperately wanted an explanation from her.

But I was afraid she would be angry if she found out, thinking I had sent someone to monitor her, and I was also afraid she would distance herself from me because of it.

Since she doesn't want me to know, I'll just pretend I don't know.

Luo Luo, don't let me down.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qinglu glared at him with displeasure. "From now on, I'll have to make sure you eat properly. How can you not eat? You'll get a stomachache if you don't eat. Don't you know that?"

"Never mind, you wait here, I'll go cook you another bowl of noodles." Yun Qingluo said and got up to go to the kitchen to cook noodles for Mo Beichen.

Mo Beichen pulled Yun Qingluo back, "There's no need for that."

Yun Qingluo turned around, "Hmm?"

Mo Beichen asked, "Luo Luo is full after eating so little?"

Yun Qingluo chuckled, "I saw a nice stir-fried shrimp dish in the kitchen just now, so I ate it all and couldn't eat anymore."

Mo Beichen chuckled softly, picked up Yun Qingluo's bowl, and began to eat.
