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

Chapter 545: Plan Failed

Hua Jin, the daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, who was two seats away from Chu Jingyue, had a painful expression on her face, her chopsticks dropped to the ground, and even cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

This appearance scared the people around, and those who were nearby hurried forward to support Hua Jin.

"Miss Hua, what's wrong with you?"

"I, my stomach hurts." Hua Jin frowned and spoke with difficulty.

A hint of joy flashed across Xiao Yue's face, and then it turned into full of worry.

"Why do I have a stomachache when I'm fine? Could it be that the food is unclean?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people who were still sitting at their seats changed their expressions and put down their chopsticks.

Jiang Suining also frowned and ordered the palace servant beside him: "Call the imperial physician here immediately."

After saying that, he quickly walked to Hua Jin's side.

"Ms. Hua, can you clearly describe what kind of pain and discomfort you are experiencing?"

"I……"

Hua Jin was about to speak when he was interrupted by Xiao Yue.

"What's the point of asking these questions now? You're not an imperial physician. Can you diagnose her illness?"

"Fifth Princess, I just want to ask if there is any way to relieve Miss Hua's pain before the imperial physician arrives."

"What do you mean by relief? You are wasting your words here, which will only waste Miss Hua's mind and energy." Xiao Yue frowned and walked in front of Jiang Suining. "Today's snow viewing banquet, I have repeatedly warned you that nothing must go wrong. Lady Jiang, I have always trusted you. Tell me what is going on!"

Humph, Jiang Suining is indeed a cautious person. Seeing that I was suddenly going to hold a snow-viewing banquet, she was suspicious, and seeing Chu Jingyue on the list, she thought that I was going to cause trouble by attacking Chu Jingyue, so she focused all her attention on Chu Jingyue. Little did she know that the reason why she was "taking care" of Chu Jingyue was just a show for her to let her down her guard.

No matter who gets into trouble at today's banquet, it will be Jiang Suining's fault. Why should she focus on Chu Jingyue?

Jiang Suining lowered his head and said, "Please forgive me, Princess. The most urgent task now is to find out why Miss Hua is unwell. If it is really my negligence, I am willing to accept any punishment."

"You said this yourself. You'd better remember it. Don't try to escape the blame by taking advantage of the fact that your husband is trusted by your father." Xiao Yue said in a cold voice.

Jiang Suining has been too complacent recently and it's time for him to be punished. Otherwise, he will probably not take me seriously in the future!

Chu Jingyue had already stood up from her seat and walked to Hua Jin's table. After hearing what Xiao Yue said, she spoke unhappily.

"Fifth Princess, we haven't investigated the matter clearly yet, so we can't jump to conclusions. It may not be caused by the food, but perhaps there is some emergency."

As he spoke, Chu Jingyue looked at Hua Jin.

Hua Jin is only fifteen or sixteen years old this year, still young. At this moment, his face turned pale due to the pain. He slumped down on the seat, without the strength to speak.

Seeing her like this, no one else dared to move her, but someone among the women suddenly remembered.

"If I remember correctly, Miss Hua can't eat peanuts?"

"Yes, I remember that, but there are no peanuts in the food we eat today."

"There are no peanuts in today's meal. I have learned about the dietary restrictions of all the noble families and have specifically instructed the imperial kitchen to be especially careful not to add peanuts." Jiang Suining explained.

Xiao Yue sneered, "Have you ever understood or instructed that there should be peanuts in the meal? It's not up to you to decide."

She turned her head and looked at the other people present.

"Don't worry, everyone. Since I am the one who initiated today's snow-viewing banquet, I will naturally be responsible to the end. If the food really goes wrong due to some people's negligence and harms Miss Hua, I will definitely not let them off easily!"

These powerful words made everyone hesitate to speak, and the atmosphere around them suddenly became tense again.

After a while, the imperial physician came hurriedly.

"Imperial Physician, please take a look at what happened to Miss Hua." Chu Jingyue said quickly, and at the same time took a few steps back to make room for the imperial physician.

The imperial physician first looked at Hua Jin's pale face, then hurriedly took her pulse. After a moment, his frown gradually relaxed.

"Don't worry, Miss Hua is just having her period."

"Menstruation? How is that possible!" Xiao Yue spoke subconsciously, and then she felt everyone's gazes, so she quickly explained, "What I mean is, if she just had her menstruation, how could it hurt so much?"

The imperial physician carefully felt her pulse again and said, "Miss Hua has a weak constitution. I think she had a lot of pain during her period before. This kind of constitution is not suitable for cold, but her wrist is cold and there is coldness in her body. Maybe she just stayed in a cold place or ate some cold food, which caused the sudden unbearable pain. But it's not a big problem. She will drink some hot drinks later, and then I will prescribe some soup medicine to recuperate."

After hearing the imperial physician's words, many people thought of the gloomy Merlin just now, and their eyes towards Xiao Yue changed.

The Fifth Princess had just been so sure that she wanted to punish the female official, but it turned out that Miss Hua was frozen because of her suggestion to appreciate the plum blossoms.

The imperial physician gave Hua Jin a few injections, and Hua Jin's complexion eased a little, and she finally regained a little strength. She also heard what the imperial physician said just now, and now she sat up with her cheeks burning.

"I, I just wanted to say that I was having my period, but the Fifth Princess interrupted me, and then I was in so much pain that I couldn't speak."

Xiao Yue's face looked grim, she never thought it would be her period. She stared at the dishes and soups in front of Hua Jin's seat. Xiao Yue did not give up and said to the imperial physician again.

"Ms. Hua can't eat peanuts. Check the dishes in front of her to see if there are any peanuts. Maybe it's not because of menstruation, but because she accidentally ate peanuts."

The doctor looked at the dishes on the table and said, "These shouldn't be..."

"This princess asks you to check it carefully." Xiao Yue interrupted the imperial physician impatiently.

The doctor didn't dare to say anything more. He picked up the dishes, examined them carefully and sniffed them before replying again.

"Princess Fifth, there are indeed no peanuts in these dishes and soups. And judging from Miss Hua's pulse, her abdominal pain is definitely not caused by eating peanuts by mistake. It is simply due to catching a cold and..."

"That's enough. This princess knows." Xiao Yue interrupted the imperial physician unhappily, feeling full of doubts.

It was clearly arranged that someone would secretly add peanut powder into the soup, so how come no one did that?

Or……

Xiao Yue suddenly turned her head to look at Jiang Suining, and met Jiang Suining's gaze that seemed to see through everything.

Her heart skipped a beat, and before she could look away, a scream suddenly rang out again!
