The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 547: Stop nagging, my back hurts

"Of course I don't dare to doubt Her Royal Highness the Princess, but it would be better to let someone else investigate this matter." Chu Jingyue's tone was still cold and hard.

She had thought before that Xiao Yue was the fifth princess and of royal blood after all, so she had to give her some face no matter what and not make things unpleasant in public.

But if it wasn't for Sui Ning at that moment...

Thinking of what happened just now, Chu Jingyue's hair stood up again, and the anger in his chest could not be suppressed at all.

She reached out and touched her lower abdomen, her eyes full of resentment.

If it was really Xiao Yue who attacked her, she would never let it go even if the other party was a princess!

Xiao Yue wanted to speak again, but Queen Shi raised her hand to stop her.

"Princess Chu's words make sense. After all, it's you who are going to host this banquet today. If something goes wrong, it won't be convenient for you to investigate."

"Mother..."

"No need to say more. I will send someone to investigate this matter. Princess Chu can rest assured. If someone really pushed you, I will give you an explanation."

Chu Jingyue then responded: "Thank you, Queen!"

Queen Shi had already ordered people to prepare a sedan chair and took Chu Jingyue to her palace to rest.

Chu Jingyue had just made a public complaint, and Queen Shi had agreed to investigate. Naturally, this matter could not be let go without causing any trouble. Queen Shi ordered the nanny beside her to conduct a detailed investigation.

Jiang Suining had also been examined. The injury on his back was not serious, but his waist had hit the edge of the table. In addition to his own body weight, he also had to bear the weight of Chu Jingyue, so his bones were somewhat injured and he needed to recuperate.

Lu Yan got the news and was now accompanying Jiang Suining. Looking at Jiang Suining lying on the bed, her eyes were full of worry and fear.

"The Fifth Princess's attack is too ruthless. It's really impossible to defend against it!"

Previously, she and Sui Ning both thought that the Fifth Princess would not take action against Princess Chu. Sui Ning thought at that time that perhaps Princess Chu was just a pretext to paralyze them and attract attention, and would actually cause trouble for other people.

Among those people, the one most likely to get into trouble was Miss Hua, who was allergic to peanuts, so Sui Ning asked him to take people to keep a close eye on the imperial kitchen. At the same time, just in case, he sent someone to report to the Queen Mother and asked her to ask the Queen Mother to ask Princess Chu to leave Merlin.

The result was exactly as Sui Ning expected. She really found peanuts mixed into the soup. After changing the soup, she thought everything was fine. But she didn't expect that someone would take advantage of the chaos to push Princess Chu!

Although she was not there, she couldn't help but feel a little scared when she heard people talk about the situation.

Princess Chu is pregnant. If she were hit by something, not to mention the injuries she would suffer, she would definitely lose the baby.

The person who did it was too cruel!

Jiang Suining put a soft pillow under his arm and turned his head slightly to look at Lu Yan, "I don't think that what happened to Princess Chu was done by the Fifth Princess."

After she was helped up, she deliberately observed Xiao Yue's expression. The look on her face was completely different from when she found out there were no peanuts in the soup. There was no disappointment at the failure of her plan. Instead, it was full of surprise at the sudden event. That kind of look should not be acted out.

"Who else could it be if not the Fifth Princess?" Lu Yan wondered.

Jiang Suining was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Without continuing the topic, Jiang Suining asked about Chu Jingyue's situation.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that she had been taken to the Queen's bedroom for recuperation, and that someone from the Prince of Chu's Mansion and Chu Changhe had also sent news.

After a while, Shen Yanxi's voice came from outside the door.

Jiang Suining was very surprised when he saw Shen Yanxi walking in hurriedly.

"This is the harem, how did you get in?"

"The Queen Mother sent someone to tell me that you were injured. I asked the Queen Mother for permission to come here." Shen Yanxi's eyes were full of worry.

Lu Yan immediately said goodbye, leaving the space to the two of them.

After Lu Yan left, Shen Yanxi checked Jiang Suining's injuries.

There was a swollen red mark across the fair waist, and Shen Yanxi felt very distressed.

His fingertips carefully touched the wound. "The messenger only said that you hit your waist, but didn't say it was so serious!"

"It's okay, it's just a bump. The doctor has checked it out and prescribed some ointment. Apply it every day and rest for a few days."

"You call this just a bump?" Shen Yanxi was distressed and annoyed, his heart was filled with rage, "It's swollen like this, the bones must be injured. Even if you want to save Chu Jingyue, you can't ignore yourself at all. If..."

"Okay, I'm really fine." Jiang Suining reached out and tugged at Shen Yanxi's robe. "My waist hurts, so stop nagging me. And if I hadn't stopped the situation before, I'm afraid Jingyue's child would have died."

"I don't care what happens to their children, but you can't get hurt!" Shen Yanxi said instinctively.

When he met Jiang Suining's gaze, his eyes flickered, and he held Jiang Suining's hand and explained.

"Ningning, it's not that I'm cold-blooded, but even if I have to protect others, I should put my own safety first. Even if you don't care about yourself, at least think about me. If something happens to you, what do you want me to do?"

"I'm fine, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Jiang Suining took Shen Yanxi's hand and shook it gently, "Don't be angry, since you're here, just apply the medicine for me. My waist still hurts a little. The white ointment is for swelling and pain relief. The doctor said you can apply it more times a day."

Shen Yanxi looked at the small white porcelain bottle on the table beside him, reached out to take it and opened it, then rubbed his palms to warm them up, took out some ointment and placed it on his palms, then began to massage Jiang Suining's waist bit by bit.

Jiang Suining lay on the bed and told Shen Yanxi everything that happened today.

After Shen Yanxi applied the medicine, he pulled up the hem of Jiang Suining's shirt and carefully covered her with the quilt before speaking, "So you suspect that it wasn't Xiao Yue who attacked Chu Jingyue, but Xiao Yi?"

Jiang Suining shook his head slightly. "It's not suspicion, it's certainty. From Xiao Yue's sudden decision to hold a snow-viewing banquet to Jing Yue being pushed down, it should all be Xiao Yi's doing. As for the purpose..."

Jiang Suining paused, and Shen Yanxi took over her words.

"You and Princess Chu are good friends, and you have a very good relationship. But if she lost her child because of you, let alone whether she and Chu Changhe will resent you, even if they don't blame you, you will definitely feel bad. And you are a palace lady after all, and you are in charge of the Snow Appreciation Banquet. If something happens at the banquet, even if it is an accident, you will be held responsible. By then, you will be in trouble and naturally you will not be able to find out the truth about Songjiang Mansion."

"That's right. Although I didn't think too much about it when I saved Jingyue, but thinking about it afterwards, if I hadn't stopped her at the banquet, even if Jingyue and the baby in her belly were fine, this matter would definitely involve me."

She was responsible for arranging the party, so no matter what happened, she would have difficulty completely extricating herself from the matter.

Jiang Suining turned his head slightly and looked at Shen Yanxi.

"But the only thing I can't understand is why Xiao Yi is so bold. After all, Jingyue was born in the Chu Palace. Is he really not afraid that this matter will become a big deal?"

Shen Yanxi paused while massaging Jiang Suining's waist, and after a moment's silence, he looked at her and said.

"I think I know why."
