Shen Xihe believed An Ling's words, but An Ling had no evidence. She asked Biyu to ask the servants on both sides, but they all insisted on their own story and defended their own masters, which was not enough to serve as testimony.
I asked Biyu to check if anyone else saw it, but the answer was that no one testified.
Finally, Shen Xihe could only say: "The princess was the first to take action. She should apologize to Princess Zhao."
Princess Anling gritted her teeth after hearing this, her face full of indignation, but she did not dare to disrespect the Crown Princess, so she could only bow and say: "It was Anling who was reckless and frightened Second Sister-in-law. Please forgive me."
Yu Sangning quickly stopped and pretended to help: "Princess, this is just a misunderstanding. I am fine. It is my fault that you got hurt. Please don't take it to heart."
"The princess did act inappropriately, and the maidservants of Princess Zhao have no respect for hierarchy." Shen Xihe changed the subject and said, "People who follow the noble can be eager to protect their master, but they can't only see their own masters. The thing that this palace lacks the most is masters. If she dares to knock down the princess today, she will dare to knock down me, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or even His Majesty tomorrow.
Protecting the master and abiding by the rules are not contradictory. Biyu, tell her, if what happened today happened to me, what would you do? "
Biyu bowed, facing the maid, and said generously: "If it is the Crown Princess today, whether the princess did it intentionally or not, I should protect the Crown Princess behind me and stop the princess. I must not let the princess fall!"
Princess Anling couldn't help but think of her fifth sister. Yangling was thrown into an icy lake by her sister-in-law in the middle of winter. She firmly believed that if she were the Crown Princess today, she would probably have a piece of skin rubbed off her palm...
Of course, she also firmly believed that the Crown Princess would never be as dark and treacherous as Yu Sangning, who would make things difficult for her for no reason!
“Please spare my life, Princess. I am not well-trained, so how dare I be compared with the female officials beside you? I only had time to protect Princess Zhao and the little grandson.” Seeing that things were not going well, the maidservant was quite courageous and banged her head on the ground with a loud bang.
"Since you are not well-trained, why did you dare to take the responsibility when King Zhao assigned you to protect the princess and the little prince? You don't care about the princess and the little prince, and you only want to show off your achievements. Slaves like you who are greedy and reckless and don't put the master first in their hearts should be beaten to death!" Biyu scolded harshly.
The maid was terrified and her face turned pale. She turned to Yu Sangning and begged, "Princess, please forgive me. I was too ambitious and thought too much about serving the master. Please spare my life."
She was a smart maid and immediately handed over the power of life and death to Yu Sangning.
Shen Xihe lazily withdrew her gaze. She wanted someone to die, so this person would have no chance of living. "You are too ambitious. What is implicated is not the safety of Princess Zhao, but the safety of the grandson in Princess Zhao's belly. You are the blood of the royal family, and you dare to take credit for it. Even if Princess Zhao is kind enough to forgive you, I can't forgive you!"
Glancing at Yu Sangning who was about to speak, Shen Xihe smiled faintly: "Biyu, be beaten to death!"
"Crown Princess!" Yu Sangning exclaimed, then collected her thoughts, "This girl is indeed guilty of an unforgivable crime, but the child in my belly is still young. Please, Crown Princess, for the sake of the child, don't let him take a life before he is born, and spare this girl this time."
