While everyone at the Imperial Hospital was being played for fools by Mo Qingshan, Shi Zhou had already stealthily entered Chen Shi's room.
Her qinggong was quite good; she made no noise when walking, so on her way over, not even the Imperial Palace's hidden guards noticed anything unusual about her.
Shi Zhou took a glance at Chen Shi's room where the furnishings were simple, with only a bed, a writing desk, and a wardrobe.
At first sight, everything in the room was clear at a glance.
Shi Zhou first searched his single-person bed carefully; the beds in the Imperial Hospital were all custom-made, simply a plain wooden plank bed with no place to hide anything.
She then turned her gaze to the writing desk, on which only a set of the Four Treasures of the Study and a few letters lay.
The set of Four Treasures of the Study seemed valuable and was out of place in the room, clearly a gift from some noble, she inferred.
Shi Zhou guessed it must be a gift from the Empress.
