Chapter 314: Those Family Letters Were Forged
Chen Shi had not expected he would be ambushed, and although he was shocked, he was even more astonished.
The Princess was skilled in medical arts, a fact not even the Empress knew.
Moreover, with just a single silver needle, she had weakened him to the point of kneeling helplessly on the ground, indicating that the Princess’s medical skills were definitely not merely "slight".
He coldly watched the young girl before him as she toyed with a silver needle, her expression lively and mischievous, making it hard for anyone to truly hate her.
After a moment of mutual gaze, Chen Shi was the first to be defeated, awkwardly averting his eyes as he said, "What exactly does the Princess intend to do?"
Qi Yu retracted the silver needle into her sleeve, reached out and grasped his chin, forcing him to look at her.
Her eyes sparkled with intensity, but her expression was exceptionally serious as she interrogated, "The Empress has killed so many people, do you still intend to fight on her behalf?"
Chen Shi’s pupils shook, and he stiffened his neck before replying, "This has nothing to do with the Princess."
"Nothing to do with me?" Qi Yu scoffed, loosening her grip as she coldly said, "The Empress has been plotting against me and the Prince for not just a day or two. After returning to the capital, she even intensified her efforts, employing various poisonous schemes. Were it not for the Princess’s fortunate fate, these filthy maneuvers would truly be unbearable!"
Chen Shi lowered his head, closing his eyes as if in doing so, he could shut out her words.
