Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 123 New Clues

"Although the servants serving the dishes were arranged the night before the banquet, they are all old people who have been in the palace for several years, and they are very clear about the rules in the palace. Besides, this is the banquet that His Majesty will attend, and they will never Yes, and I will never have the guts to break the rules." Qing Yun assured Chi Xinian.

She swears so much, she almost swears to the sky.

In this way, there was only one thought left in Chi Xinian's mind - the dishes on Chen Meiren's table had been moved!

Chi Xinian got up in a hurry, pulled Qingyun to stand in front of the table: "Do you remember how these dishes should be placed?"

"Remember." Qingyun nodded slightly.

After a short memory, as the person in charge, Qing Yun explained the details of the dishes: "Sweet and sour pork tenderloin and West Lake vinegar fish are the main dishes, and they are arranged in the middle of the table.

"On the right side of the guests, there are appetizing cold cucumbers and emerald shrimp balls, while on the left side are sweet-scented osmanthus lotus roots and Taihu boats served as a finishing touch...

"In the end, everyone had a cup of stewed squab with wolfberry and was placed in front of them..."

"So, the sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root should have been placed on the left side of the table?" Chi Xinian found the place where the sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root should have been placed according to Qing Yun's words, bent his knuckles, and tapped twice, "Yes The osmanthus candied lotus root on Chen Meiren's table is not here, but..."

She turned her eyes and looked at an empty plate on the right side of the desk: "It became an extra side dish, squeezed on the right side of the desk."

"It was the poisoner who moved the dish while poisoning!" Xin Yi was the first to shout out.

She looked at Chi Xinian excitedly, with a happy expression on her face because of the breakthrough.

But Chi Xinian did not show joy together with her, instead he frowned more deeply at this moment: "If you poison, then poison, what are you doing with that dish? And, since you want to poison Chen Meiren, And why do you want to move the poisoned vegetables to the Qing concubine's side?
"Could it be that Concubine Qing was the murderer's main target?!"

This complicated idea gave Chi Xinian a headache, but fortunately, she quickly simplified the complicated problem - no, the murderer's goal was not Qing Concubine.Because everyone's scented tea is different, only Zhou Guiren and Chen Meiren will be selected to be poisoned.

As for the poisonous vegetables being moved to Concubine Qing, it should be an accident caused by the murderer noticing that Chen Meiren didn't drink tea and making a second remedy.

With a conclusion in mind, Chi Xinian's brows finally relaxed a little.

But at the same time, she was also thinking about the information this discovery brought her: "The murderer needs to change the position of the dishes to achieve the second poisoning, which means that she is probably not the concubine Qing who is at the same table with Chen Meiren, which is inconvenient for God." Unknowingly hands on.

"At the same time, she should have a certain understanding of Chen Meiren, and she is sure that no matter where the sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root is placed, Chen Meiren will definitely stretch out her chopsticks to pick it up..."

Thinking about it this way, the scope seems to have narrowed down a lot.

The interpersonal relationship in the harem is complicated, and not everyone can easily understand others.To prevent accidents, everyone will not easily reveal their preferences and tastes.

So this person must be familiar with Chen Meiren!
Thinking of this, Chi Xinian got up immediately: "I have to talk to His Majesty about this matter! The hope of solving the case is right in front of me, and I don't have to arrest others to take the blame!"

"Mother!" Seeing Chi Xinian passing by like a gust of wind, Xinyi and Qingyun quickly raised their skirts to follow.
