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

Chapter 122

The morning light is faint, and the pale golden sunlight shines through the thin window paper and falls on the soft wool carpet in the hall.

Chi Xi Nianku was sitting in the middle of the hall, a layer of fatigue appeared on her pretty face. She hadn't slept all night, and she was much less energetic than usual.

But even though there were faint bloodshot eyes in her eyes, she still stared at the mess in front of her without moving.

That was the thing that was knocked over when Chen Meiren and Zhou Guiren fell to the ground yesterday.

The people in the food palace have already sorted out and taken away, only the bowls and chopsticks are still placed in their original seats...

As the night passed, she faintly noticed something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong in detail.

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

Chi Xinian took the veil, wiped it on his face indiscriminately, and asked: "At this time, His Majesty should have already woken up? What did he say about Xiaoqin? Or does he insist on treating him as a murderer?"

"Yes..." Xinyi nodded with difficulty.

Immediately, he quickly added: "However, His Majesty will go to court later, and he said yes, all the affairs of the harem will be dealt with after he goes to court."

"That means he won't deal with Xiaoqin until near noon?" There seemed to be more time, but Chi Xinian didn't show any joy at this.

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

But she still refuses to give up...

"Your Majesty, do your best to obey the destiny. Whether it's the traces of the scene or Xiaoqin's confession, you have read it countless times. If you really can't save her, it will be her fate. You don't have to be too sad." Persuading Chi Xinian to be at ease, he waved to Qingyun who was outside, signaling her to bring in the breakfast.

After receiving the instructions, Qingyun immediately entered with the tray.

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

"Your Majesty, eat something." The two persuaded, "You stayed up all night, if you don't eat something, your body will not be able to take it anymore."

"it is good."

Chi Xinian is not a hypocritical person, since breakfast was already in front of her, she directly picked up chopsticks to eat.

But the moment her gaze fell, she suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter, ma'am? But the breakfast meal prepared by the servant is not to your liking?" Qing Yun panicked, and immediately wanted to withdraw the meal, and stepped back to prepare again.

But Chi Xinian grasped her wrist quickly, and asked in a daze, "Is this how you usually arrange the bowls and chopsticks? Is this the rule in the palace, or is it your own habit?"

"Reporting to the empress is a rule in the palace." Qingyun's wrist was painfully gripped by Chi Xinian, and trembling, she replied in panic, "There are rules for walking, sitting, sleeping, eating and clothing, and you should not break them easily. Therefore, no matter what the time is, the bowls and chopsticks must be placed according to the rules."

"Then what about theirs?!" Chi Xinian excitedly pointed to the opposite side, "Why is the placement of their staple food and dishes different from Bengong's?!"

"This..." Qingyun followed Chi Xinian's point of view, and couldn't help being stunned.

Although the overturned bowls, chopsticks and teacups make the tabletop look a bit messy, but as long as you discern a little, you can find that the place of the dishes on the table is wrong.

The main dish that should have been in the middle was moved to the left side, and the vegetarian dishes that were supposed to be placed on each side of the two sides became a layout of three on the left and one on the right...
