The morning light was faint, and the pale golden sunlight shone through the thin window paper, spilling on the soft wool carpet in the main hall.

Chi Xi Nian sat in the middle of the hall, a faint layer of tiredness appeared on her beautiful face, she had not slept all night, compared with usual, a lot less vitality.

But even though her eyes were faintly bloodshot, she still stared at the mess in front of her motionlessly.

At that time, when Chen Meiren and Zhou Guiren fell to the ground yesterday, they knocked over something.

Among them, the people in the food palace have been sorted out and taken away, only the dishes and chopsticks are still in their original seats...

After a night, she faintly saw that something was wrong, but specifically, she couldn't say what was wrong.

"Mother, do you want to wash your face?" Xin entered with a basin of water, wrung out the silk handkerchief and handed it to Chi Xinian, "You've been watching it all night, can you take a break?" ”

Chi Xinian took the handkerchief, wiped it on his face, and asked, "At this hour, Your Majesty should have already risen, right?" What did he say about Xiaoqin? Or do you insist on treating people as murderers? ”

"Yes," Xinyi nodded with difficulty.

Immediately, he quickly added: "But Your Majesty will go to the court later, saying yes, all the affairs of the harem will be dealt with after he goes to the court." ”

"So it's almost noon before he can handle the violin?" Time seems to be abundant again, but Chi Xinian did not show half of his joy.

Because she knew very well that it was almost impossible to find clues that could not be found in a day and a night in just two hours in the morning.

But she still won't give up...

"Niangniang, do your best to obey the fate of heaven, whether it is the traces of the scene or Xiaoqin's confession, you have watched it countless times. If you really can't save her, it's her life, and you don't have to be too sad. Xin Yi persuaded Chi to be relieved, and beckoned to Qingyun outside, motioning for her to bring breakfast in.

After receiving instructions, Qingyun immediately entered with a tray.

Xin Yi also hurriedly found a small table, so that Qingyun could place the porridge and side dishes in front of Chi Xinian one by one.

"Mother, eat something." The two persuaded, "You stayed up all night, if you don't eat something, your body should not be able to stand it." ”

"Okay."

Chi Xinian is not a hypocritical person, since the breakfast has been placed in front of her, she directly picks up chopsticks to eat.

But the moment her eyes fell, she suddenly paused.

"What's wrong, mother? But the breakfast prepared by the slave is not to your liking? Qingyun was terrified, and immediately wanted to withdraw the meal, retreat and prepare again.

But Chi Xinian quickly grabbed her wrist and asked in a daze: "Do you usually place dishes and chopsticks like this?" Is this a rule in the palace, or is it your own habit? ”

"Returning to the mother, it is the rule of the palace." Qingyun's wrist was held by Chi Xinian, and it trembled, and she replied in panic, "There are rules for walking, sitting, lying, eating, and wearing, and you can't easily violate them." Therefore, at all times, the dishes and chopsticks should be placed according to the rules. ”

"What about theirs?!" Chi Xinian excitedly pointed to the opposite side, "Why is the placement of their staple food and dishes different from the main palace?!" ”

"This..."Qing Yun looked at Chi Xinian's point, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Although the overturned dishes, chopsticks and tea cups make the table look a little messy, as long as you can distinguish it slightly, you can find that the position of the dishes on the table is wrong.

The main dish plate that was supposed to be in the middle was moved to the left, and the ingredients that were supposed to be two on each side were changed to a left-side-to-right-three layout...
