Naturally, Yan Chujing didn't know that Chi Xinian had silently labeled him "cute" in his heart.

After a brief moment of silence with her, he put the unhappiness behind him and seriously examined the mess on the side again.

"Tell me, where did the person who poisoned the poison do it?" He tapped the table with his fingertips and rested his elbows to support his chin.

"I don't think it's in the kitchen, but in the dining room." Chi Xinian imitated his actions and also raised his chin to look at the mess on the ground, "Because when the doctor was testing the poison just now, I found something interesting.

detail."

"Oh?" Yan Chujing raised his eyebrows, "Tell me about it."

"Remember that plate of osmanthus and sugared lotus root?" Chi Xinian gestured casually, "It is different from that plate of sweet and sour pork. The sweet and sour pork is just a little bit of poison in the dish. It looks like it was contaminated when picking up the vegetables.

Already.

"But sweet-scented osmanthus and sugar lotus root are different. The edge of the plate is still poisonous. Even if the person picking the dishes uses chopsticks to pick the vegetables, the edge of the plate will not be contaminated with poison, right?

"I think it was caused by the poisoner's second poisoning."

"You mean, because Chen Meiren didn't drink the poisonous tea prepared by that person in advance, the poisoner had to take the risk again?" Yan Chujing narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully, "Indeed, if it was just chopsticks,

The poison brought cannot reach the edge of the plate.

"The poison on the edge is more like... holding the plate with poisoned hands."

When he said this, Yan Chujing suddenly said: "But if it is serving dishes, shouldn't the most likely ones be the palace maids who take turns serving the dishes? How can you doubt the people at the banquet?"

Although the order of serving the dishes has not been arranged in advance, as long as you are careful, it is not impossible to observe that Mrs. Chen did not drink tea and take advantage of the situation to make up for the poisoned dishes.

In fact, it is more convenient for the mobile maids who deliver the food to poison than those who cannot move after sitting down at the table.

"I wasn't very sure at first, until you said that the person behind it was to want me to be a concubine who can't be the queen." Chi Xinian explained to him, "Her purpose is so big and her methods are so ruthless. It's definitely not a temporary move.

"And I am a casual person. Not only do I have no idea of ​​forcing everyone to eat here, but even the maids who serve the dishes were arranged by Qingyun just yesterday.

"It's not easy for that person to bribe anyone in such a short period of time.

"If you're not careful, he will leave holes."

Yan Chujing nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, although Chen Mei and Zhou Guiren did not have much background, they were not ordinary people either.

If you want to kill these two people, you still have to be fully prepared.

The person who served the dish was not sure until yesterday that when the murderer was preparing, he definitely couldn't leave this most important link of poisoning empty and gamble on the possibility of "smoothly buying it off".

Moreover, the maids arranged by the Queen to serve as Chuancai Palace must all come from Fengqi Palace. If they are not kept intact, there is a risk of being high-density.

In this case, it would be better to leave the poisoning to the banquet.

It's better to do it yourself than to do it with someone else's...

"However, if poisoning is done during the banquet, not many people will have the chance." Yan Chujing looked around the hall and said, "At that time, I was sitting at the top of the table, in the middle. The queen was sitting with me, and Concubine Shu was slightly away.

, living on one side. The remaining people sit together in pairs, each choosing a seat and sitting on both sides...
