Chapter 304: Then the Princess Won’t Be Polite Anymore
Qi Yu nodded, "However, this is just my speculation. Whether the antidote is indeed in Chen Shi’s hands, master will have to personally investigate to find out."
Upon hearing this, Mo Qingshan muttered, "That kid Chen Shi is quite cunning; how am I supposed to investigate him?"
He had spent quite some time in the Imperial Hospital, and while others treated him with respect and courtesy, it was only Chen Shi who always looked at him with vigilant eyes.
One who didn’t know better would think he owed the man money.
Moreover, Chen Shi was an odd character. In the Imperial Hospital, he would always bury himself in his work and not interact with others, his reclusiveness reaching an extreme.
Yet he possessed a face that was reasonably handsome and clean, and whenever those princesses in the palace had some issues, they liked to specifically summon him by name.
Chen Shi never shunned these requests. He would go and dutifully take their pulse, prescribe medications, unwilling to utter an extra word.
Mo Qingshan shared all the information he had gathered during this period with Qi Yu, and in the end, he shook his head, "Chen Shi is very cautious in his words and actions. If the antidote is really with him, it’s probably going to be hard to find."
After hearing this, Qi Yu wasn’t too surprised. The fact that the Empress was willing to entrust something as critical as the antidote to this man indicated that she knew Chen Shi would definitely not betray her.
And, given the Empress’s suspicious nature, it was likely that Chen Shi had some sort of significant leverage in her hands.
