Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 117 New Ideas
While taking vegetables out of the food box, she said in a gentle voice: "Today's incident is too sudden, and His Majesty's conviction is so fast, I think the empress is in a mess right now.

"So this concubine has the guts to make some porridge and side dishes and send them to the empress. I want you to have something to eat while worrying."

After saying that, Lin Jieyu took out a cup of pumpkin porridge and put it on the table together with four side dishes.

Crisp and delicious green vegetables, white and soft steamed buns, and a cup of delicious pumpkin porridge, instantly create a warm atmosphere with fireworks.

"Young lady, come to try my concubine's craft?" Lin Jieyu smiled gently, looking at Chi Xinian who was sitting casually on the window sill.

"Okay." The food was all on the table, so Chi Xinian didn't refuse any more, leaned on the window frame and jumped off, and sat directly in front of the table.

She picked up a small steamed bun and tasted it first, and praised Lin Jieyu's craftsmanship.

Then, he asked her to sit down on the seat opposite to him, and asked her casually: "You also think that your Majesty's conviction is too fast today, which is a bit inappropriate?"

Lin Jieyu sighed softly: "It stands to reason that we concubines shouldn't question His Majesty's decision. What's more, it's still under the condition of all the witnesses and material evidence.

"But a few days ago, when I was discussing with Chen Meiren and the others about the details of the tea and fruit for the spring banquet, I had also come into contact with Xiaoqin, so I got to know her a little bit.

"That girl, although she is a bit stupid, but when she does things step by step, her hands and feet are considered nimble, and the things in her hands can pass through.

"Such an honest girl, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't seem like someone who would do such vicious things.

"Besides, she has no reason to poison her master. After all, we all see how Chen Meiren treats her. There is no enmity between the two, and it is a master-servant relationship in which one is prosperous and the other is damaged. She has no reason to do so.

"According to my concubine, after this incident, there is probably something inside."

"It turns out that you also think that Chen Meiren and Xiaoqin have a good relationship..." Chi Xinian nodded thoughtfully, "So, whether it's an outsider or Xiaoqin herself, it's just a set of rhetoric, so the relationship between her and Chen Meiren seems to be true. There's nothing to say."

After a short pause, Chi Xinian asked Lin Jieyu the second question: "In your opinion, who is going to do such a vicious thing today? After that person has been poisoned, why did he marry her?" Blame on Xiaoqin?"

"This...this concubine can't explain why." Lin Jieyu smiled apologetically, "I don't have any skills, usually I just spend my days with my piano and books, and spend time in the palace.

"There is absolutely no ability to judge cases, let alone figure out the murderer's intentions.

"If the empress insists on letting the concubine speak, the concubine can only guess that that person may have enmity with you, Chen Meiren, and Zhou Guiren. Or maybe he wants to provoke the relationship between you and Chen Meiren."

"Oh? Sowing discord?" Chi Xinian raised his eyebrows, "Why do you see that?"

This is a new way of thinking.

Before, they believed that the murderer chose the poison to kill Chen Meiren and Zhou Guiren. Naturally, they didn't think about how the relationship between her and the two victims would change after the poison was administered.

Now that Lin Jieyu mentioned it, she suddenly came to her senses - if Chen Meiren survived and the murderer was confirmed to be her personal servant Xiaoqin, what would happen to their relationship.

Inevitably, it can only be an enemy who is extremely jealous when they meet.
