Chapter 116: No Progress

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

She had to admit that the girl was right - even if hiding the poison on Xiaoqin's body was her only chance to deal with the poison, that person should not deal with it like this, after all, once Xiaoqin became a murderer, most of the plan he had worked so hard to arrange would be ruined.

So, what prompted him to hide the poison on Xiaoqin?

He laid out the whole thing so carefully that he couldn't even choose a place to hide drugs?

Or is his real purpose not to disgrace her as a queen and lose her prestige?

The logic that was not smooth made Chi Xinian feel a headache, and she couldn't find any useful evidence at the scene, which also made her upset.

"Perhaps, when Your Majesty convicts Xiaoqin, I should ask him to investigate more..."Chi Xinian suddenly regretted a little, "If he promised me at that time, at least, Xiaoqin would be able to save her life." ”

"But it was a fact that the slave maid went to fetch water halfway, and the people in the kitchen saw it. Later, it is also true that the two grandmothers found poison on Xiaoqin. Add up the two, Your Majesty will not convict Xiaoqin because of your words. Qingyun persuaded, "Niangniang, you have tried your best to do everything you can, so don't blame yourself." ”

Xin Yi also agreed: "Besides, with Your Majesty's temperament, even if you ask at that time, he will not answer you." He's sure to put the protection of your reputation first. ”

"You're right, it's my simple thinking..."Elder Chi Xi let out a long breath and got up, "Call someone to lock this hall, no one is allowed to enter without the decree of the palace." ”

"Whoa."

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

If she really can't find the result tonight, then Ming'er, she will beg Yan Chujing again to see if she can save Xiaoqin's life for a few more days...

When Chi Xinian returned to Fengqi Palace, it was already dusk.

The flowing clouds are wrapped in dim red and dark gold, outlining a gloomy picture on the horizon.

Clouds were coming in from afar, and a heavy rain was approaching.

"Niangniang, it's the beginning of the year, do you want to eat something?" Qingyun walked to Chi Xinian's side and whispered to her for instructions.

For a whole afternoon, the mother was worried about catching the murderer, and now it's time to take a break.

But Chi Xinian waved his hand and said, "No need, this palace has no appetite now." ”

Her heart is full of poisoning, where can she calm down to eat and drink?

Seeing the sky darkening little by little, her heart sank a little bit.

It's nightfall, and time is running out.

Her train of thought is still stuck in place, and she can't move an inch...

I don't know how long it took, Qingyun, who had already retired, returned to Chi Xinian's side again and asked her for instructions: "Niangniang, Lin Jieyu asks to see, do you want to see her?" ”

Lin Jieyu?

Chi Xinian raised his eyebrows slightly.

She was originally in no mood to meet guests, but when she thought of Lin Jieyu's seat on the table, she was a little unwilling, and suddenly relaxed: "Let her in." ”

"Whoa." Qing Yun got the order.

After a while, she entered with a gentle beauty with a food box: "Niangniang, Lin Jieyu has arrived." ”

"Hmm." Chi Xinian moved his fingers, motioned for Qingyun to retreat, and then turned his eyes to look at Lin Jieyu, "Why did you suddenly come to the palace?" Is there something going on? ”

"Naturally, I'm worried about my mother." Lin Jieyu first flushed Chi Xinian to salute in a proper manner, and then put the food box on the small table beside Chi Xinian.
