Her eyes were clear, like an autumn lake, but with a ripple that was hard to look at.
Xia He suddenly lowered his head with guilt.
She felt that she was transparent in front of Shen Ning, and all her thoughts and calculations could be clearly seen by the other party.
"Three days ago, on the night when the princess got married, someone was sent from the kitchen to deliver a bowl of bird's nest porridge. The servant was preparing to give it to the princess for her new house. Suddenly a maid came out of the room. She said that she was the maid of the princess's wedding. , took out a package and handed it to me, asking me to put it into the porridge..."
"You are lying!"
Before Xia He could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Ru's angry voice.
"You're lying! I was the only one who was married to the princess, and I didn't give you anything at all that night. Miss, she, she wronged me!" Xiao Ru was angry and anxious, her face flushed.
Xia He broke into a cold sweat as soon as she heard the word "lie". She hurriedly said: "What I said is true. I didn't lie."
Shen Ning nodded and said calmly: "I know, just keep talking."
Xia He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the cold sweat, and said: "That girl said that the princess was ill. The doctor prescribed medicine for the princess in this paper bag, but the princess refused to drink it, so she let the slaves mix in the bird's nest. The concubine was convinced when she saw her coming out of the room, so she did as she said. But the concubine never expected that after drinking the bowl of porridge, the concubine immediately vomited blood and fell into a coma. Wake up. The slave girl then knew something was wrong. When she hurried to look for the maid, she found that she was nowhere to be found. The slave girl was stupid and had been fooled by others, but the slave girl really didn't know what the package was. What, not to mention intentionally harming your Majesty’s life. Everything I said is true and absolutely not false. I beg your Majesty to understand clearly.”
After she finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Xiao Ru was so angry that she trembled all over and wanted to rush forward and tear Xia He's mouth off.
"Miss, she is talking nonsense. I have never given her a paper bag, let alone said such stupid words. If I want to harm you, I will reincarnate into a big bastard in my next life, and I will never be able to turn over. Come!" She knelt down in front of Shen Ning and swore, so anxious that tears came out.
Shen Ning couldn't help but smile, took Xiaoru's hand and asked her to stand up, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, I have never doubted you. Anyone in this world can harm me, but you can't."
Her words were like a touch of warmth, and Xiaoru suddenly felt warm in her heart.
"Miss..." She sniffed and was so moved that she wanted to cry.
Shen Ning smiled and patted the back of her hand, then turned her eyes and stared at Xia He sternly.
Although Xia He couldn't see it, he felt a chill running down his back.
After a while, Shen Ning said slowly: "Okay, I believe you, get up."
"Yes, Princess." Xia He kowtowed to Shen Ning again and stood up in surprise and joy.
Obviously she never dreamed that Shen Ning would forgive her so easily.
"Chun Tao, Xia He." Shen Ning cleared her throat and spoke.
"I'm here!" The two maids agreed in unison, their expressions becoming respectful involuntarily.
In their eyes, Shen Ning is no longer the weak and cowardly Miss Shen who allowed them to bully her before, but has become a princess who is both respected and feared.
