"Hmph, well done. You will definitely get some benefits after the task is accomplished." said the man in black.
"Thank you, sir."
At this moment, the nanny and the man in black seemed to have noticed something and suddenly rushed out the door.
Mu Li and the other two quickly hid in a corner.
"Why do I feel like there's someone here?" The nanny looked around warily.
The man in black snorted coldly: "Be careful, don't ruin the big thing."
The two looked around again and found nothing unusual, so they left.
After they left, Mu Li and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.
"I didn't expect that this nanny would collude with the men in black and attempt to murder His Majesty." Mu Feng said.
Mo Xi clenched his fists: "We must find evidence against them and expose their conspiracy."
Mu Li pondered for a moment and said, "It seems there must be a secret in this cold palace. We must investigate thoroughly."
So they began to search the cold palace carefully.

Mu Feng picked up a herb and examined it carefully: "This herb is extremely rare and highly toxic."

A group of guards came in and searched everywhere in the cold palace.
"Have we been discovered?" Mu Feng said in a low voice.
Mu Li shook her head: "Don't act rashly."
The guards searched for a while, found nothing, and left.
"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's go back and discuss it." Mu Li said.
The three of them quietly left the cold palace.
Back in the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, several people sat together and began to analyze the current situation.
"The identity of the man in black is unknown. We have to find out as soon as possible." Mu Feng said.
Mo Xi nodded: "And those herbs and alchemy tools, maybe we can find clues to detoxification."
Mu Li frowned: "The conspiracy behind this is probably more complicated than we imagined."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Mo Xi asked warily.
"Your Highness, I am a maidservant to the Empress."
Mo Xi opened the door, and the palace maid said in a panic: "Oh no, the Queen Mother has been placed under house arrest."
"What?" Mu Li and the other two were all shocked.
