"I've told you repeatedly to keep your distance from Zhu'er, why do you always treat it like it's nothing?"
Chen Mo explained, "I just happened to run into Lin Catcher, and I thought that I hadn't helped her expel the chill toxin for a while. Since Your Highness was busy with state affairs and it was inconvenient to disturb, I thought of finding a secluded place to treat her..."
"Expelling the toxin takes at most an hour, yet you stayed in the Palace Chambers the whole night, and with three people together," the Empress said with a hint of anger in her voice. "Chen Mo, do you take me for a fool?"
"Your Highness has misunderstood."
Chen Mo hurriedly explained, "Aside from expelling the toxin, I also wrote ten chapters of a storybook, and before I knew it, it was late at night. The palace was already under curfew, and I had nowhere to go, so I could only spend the night there..."
"A storybook?"
