Chapter 31

Her eyes were as clear as an autumn lake, but there was a glint in them that people could not look at.

Xia He lowered her head with a guilty conscience.

She felt that in front of Chen Ning, she was transparent. All of her thoughts could be clearly seen by the other side.

"Three days ago, on the night of the princess' marriage, the kitchen sent a bowl of bird's nest porridge. This servant was preparing to give it to the princess when a maid suddenly came out of the room. She said that she was the princess' dowry maid and gave me a bag of things, telling me to put it in the porridge ….."

"You're lying!"

Before Xia He could finish, she was interrupted by Xiao Ru's angry voice.

"You're lying! The princess only had me as her dowry maid and I did not give you anything that night. Young miss, she, she has wronged me! "Xiao Ru was angry and anxious as her face turned red.

When Xia He heard the word "lie", she broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly said, "This servant is telling the truth, I, I'm not lying."

Chen Ning nodded and softly said, "I know, continue."

Xia He let out a sigh of relief. She wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and said, "That maid said that the Princess Consort is sick. This paper bag contains the medicine that the doctor prescribed for the Princess Consort, but the Princess Consort is not willing to drink it, so she had this servant mix it in the bird's nest porridge for the Princess Consort to drink. When this servant saw her come out of the room, I believed her and did as she said. This servant never would have thought that after the princess drank that bowl of porridge, she would immediately spit out blood and fall unconscious. This servant knew that this was bad. When I rushed to find that maid, I found that she was nowhere to be found. Princess, this servant was stupid and fell for someone else's trap, but this servant really did not know what was in that bag and did not want to harm the princess' life. Everything this servant has said is the truth, there is no falsehood. I ask the princess to investigate this. "

After she finished speaking, she kneeled on the ground and began to kowtow.

Xiao Ru was so angry that her body began to tremble. She wanted to charge forward and rip off Xia He's mouth.

"Young miss, she is just speaking nonsense. This servant has never given her a paper bag and has never said those kinds of nonsense. If this servant wants to harm you, then this servant will be reincarnated as a bastard and will never be able to turn over again!" She kneeled down in front of Chen Ning and made a vow. She was so anxious that her tears began to come out. "Young miss, this servant is a bastard.

Chen Ning couldn't help laughing. She pulled Xiao Ru's hand to help her stand up and said with a smile, "Silly girl, I have never doubted you. In this world, anyone can harm me, only you can't."

Her words were like a warm current and Xiao Ru's heart was filled with warmth.

"Young miss ….." Xiao Ru's heart was filled with tears.

Chen Ning smiled as she patted the back of her hand. Then she turned around and looked at Xia He with a serious expression.

Although she could not see it, she felt as if she was..

After a while, Chen Ning slowly said, "Alright, I believe you. You can get up."

"Yes, Princess Consort." Xia He kowtowed to Chen Ning again before standing up in a pleasantly surprised manner.

"Yes, Princess Consort." Chen Ning cleared her throat and stood up.

"This servant is here!" The two maids replied in unison. They couldn't help becoming respectful.

"Servant is here!" The two servant girls replied in unison, their demeanor involuntarily becoming respectful.
