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

After a brief moment of annoyance with her, he put aside Fang Cai's unpleasantness and took a serious look at the mess on his side again.

"Say, in what way did the person who poisoned him poison?" He tapped the table with his fingertips, and made a cheek support gesture with his elbow back.

"I don't think it's in the back kitchen, it's in the middle of the table." Chi Xinian learned his movements, and also looked at the mess with his cheeks, "Because when the doctor was testing for drugs, I found some interesting little details." ”

"Oh?" Yan Chujing raised his eyebrows, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Do you remember that plate of osmanthus sugar lotus?" Chi Xinian gestured casually, "It's not the same as the sweet and sour tenderloin, the sweet and sour loin is just a little poisoned in the dish, and it looks like it was contaminated when picking vegetables."

"But osmanthus sugar lotus root is different, and the edge of its dish is still poisonous. No matter how much the person who picks the dishes with chopsticks, it won't poison the edges of the plate, right?

"I think it's the result of the second poisoning by the poisoner."

"You mean, because Chen Meiren didn't drink the poisoned tea that the person had prepared in advance, the poisoner had to take the risk again?" Yan Chujing narrowed his phoenix eyes and said thoughtfully, "Indeed, if it is just the poison brought by the chopsticks, it is impossible to get on the edge of the plate."

"Poison on the edge, more like... The poisoned hand holds the plate. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Chujing suddenly said again: "But if it is serving dishes, shouldn't the most likely one be the palace maids who take turns to serve the dishes?" How can you doubt the people at the feast? ”

Although the order of serving dishes was not arranged in advance, as long as there is a heart, it is not impossible to observe that Chen Meiren did not drink tea and made up for the poisoned dishes.

Even, compared to the people who can't move when they sit down on the table, it is more convenient for the mobile food palace maid to be poisoned.

"Originally, I wasn't very sure, until you said that the mastermind behind it wanted me to be the queen's concubine." Chi Xinian explained to him, "Her purpose is so big and her means are so ruthless, it is definitely not a temporary idea."

"And I'm a casual person, not only did I not have the idea of forcing everyone to eat here, but even the palace maid who passed the dishes was arranged by Qingyun yesterday.

"In such a short period of time, it is not easy for that person to buy off anyone.

"If he's not careful, he'll leave a flaw."

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

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

It wasn't until yesterday that the person who delivered the food was sure that when the murderer was preparing, he would definitely not leave this most important poisoning link empty, and gamble on the possibility of "being able to buy it smoothly".

Besides, the maids of the palace arranged by the queen must all be from Fengqi Palace, and if they can't be safeguarded, there is also a risk of being high-denial.

In this case, it is better to put the poisoning thing in the middle of the banquet to do it.

It's better to do it yourself than to fake it...

"However, if it is poisoned during the banquet, there are not many people who have a chance." Yan Chujing looked around the hall and said, "At that time, I sat in the first place and was in the middle. The queen and I are seated together, and the concubine is slightly biased, on one side. The rest of the people sit in pairs, each choosing a seat on either side...

"Chen Meiren and Zhou Guiren are in the same seat on the left, so the person in the right seat can basically rule out suspicion."
