Qingyun's words once again made Chi Xinian fall into deep thought.

She had to admit that this girl was right - even if hiding poison in Xiaoqin's body was his only chance to deal with the poison, that person shouldn't have dealt with it this way. After all, once Xiaoqin became the murderer, the plan he had worked so hard to lay out would be gone.

Most of it was lost.

So, what is the reason that prompted him to hide the poison in Xiaoqin?

He arranged the whole thing so carefully, but he couldn't even choose a place to hide the drugs?

Or is it that his real purpose is not to embarrass her, the queen, and lose her prestige?

The sluggish logic gave Chi Xinian a headache, and the fact that she couldn't find any useful evidence at the scene also made her upset.

"Perhaps, when His Majesty convicted Xiaoqin, I should have asked him to investigate more..." Chi Xinian suddenly felt a trace of regret, "If he had agreed to me then, at least Xiaoqin would have been able to keep a

Dead."

"But it is a fact that the slave went to fetch water on the way, and everyone in the kitchen saw it. Later, it is also a fact that the two nuns found poison on Xiaoqin. Taken together, your Majesty will not deny Xiaoqin just because of your words.

"Condemned." Qingyun advised, "Madam, you have tried your best to do everything you can do, so don't blame yourself."

Xinyi also agreed with this: "Besides, with your Majesty's temperament, even if you ask for it at that time, he will not accept your request. He will definitely put protecting your reputation first."

"You are right, my thoughts are simple..." Chi Xishang exhaled a long breath and stood up, "Send someone to lock this hall. No one is allowed to enter without my decree."

"Here."

She couldn't find any evidence yet, but she didn't want to give up.

If she really can't get results tonight, then tomorrow, she will go to beg Yan Chujing again to see if she can save Xiaoqin's life for a few more days...

…

It was already dusk when Chi Xinian returned to Fengqi Palace.

The lingering flowing clouds are wrapped in dim red and dark gold, sketching a depressing picture on the horizon.

Dark clouds are approaching from afar, and a heavy rain is approaching.

"Your Majesty, it's already the first day of the month, would you like some food?" Qing Yun walked to Chi Xinian's side and asked her in a low voice for instructions.

The whole afternoon, the queen has been worrying about catching the murderer. Now, it's time to take a rest.

But Chi Xinian waved his hand and said, "No, I have no appetite now."

She is preoccupied with poisoning, how can she calm down to eat and drink?

Watching the sky getting darker, her heart sank a little bit.

It's night and time is running out.

However, her thoughts were still stuck in the same place, unable to move forward...

I don't know how long it took, but Qingyun, who had already retreated, returned to Chi Xinian again and asked her for instructions: "Mother, Lin Jieyu requested to see you, do you want to see her?"

Lin Jieyu?

Chi Xinian raised his eyebrows slightly.

She was originally in no mood to meet the guests, but when she thought about where Lin Jieyu was sitting at the banquet, her reluctance suddenly relaxed: "Let her come in."

"Here." Qingyun ordered.

After a while, she came in with a gentle beauty carrying a food box: "Mother, Lin Jieyu is here."

"Well." Chi Xinian moved his fingers, signaling Qingyun to step back, and then turned to look at Lin Jieyu, "Why did you come here suddenly? Is there something wrong?"
