However, just a moment later.

Princess Mingde then realized what was happening.

"How dare you, you lowly servant, defy this princess!"

After saying that, he shouted at the eunuchs, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go!"

After listening, the eunuchs exchanged glances, but they didn't move. Instead, they looked at Ye Qingcheng.

At that moment, Ye Qingcheng also glanced at them coldly.

After they met Ye Qingcheng's gaze, they all lowered their heads and stood still, not daring to move an inch.

kindness?

Princess Mingde's face turned angry upon seeing this.

"You dog slaves, I ordered you to seize her! Didn't you hear me? Do you all want to die?"

Even though her shouts were loud, the eunuchs still dared not move.

Upon seeing this, Ye Qingcheng smiled and looked at Princess Mingde.

"You can still stop now. Otherwise, once you make a move, even if the Empress comes, I may not give her any face."

"You...you audacious, lowly servant, how dare you..."

He roared here.

Princess Mingde suddenly stopped, her brows furrowing slightly.

kindness?

No, she said that even if the Empress came, she might not give her face. So she knows about this princess.

But who exactly is this lowly servant girl? How dare she utter such arrogant words, showing no respect even to the Empress?

Thinking of this.

Princess Mingde took another look at Ye Qingcheng.

This wretched woman, dressed in palace maid's clothes, looks like a lowly servant girl with a worthless life.

But who gave her the audacity to utter such outrageous words?

Moreover, this lowly maidservant seems to have a different kind of aura than the other palace maids, who are usually timid and hesitant.

And she was even allowed to wear a veil in this palace.

I ask you.

In this palace, what lowly maid or servant is allowed to wear a veil? Does she have some kind of status?

Thinking about this...

Princess Mingde frowned slightly.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Who I am is none of your concern. I just want to tell you that although you are a princess, that maid only made a small mistake. You could have punished her with a light beating, but why be so cruel as to gouge out her eyes?"

"Hmph, that lowly maid is so clumsy. She bumped into me and dirtied my silk. I can punish her as I please. She's just a lowly maid. It's only a matter of a word from me to kill her."

"I'm only going to gouge out her eyes; that's already showing me mercy. You lowly servant, who gave you the audacity to interfere in my affairs?"

"You think gouging out her eyes is merciful?"

"Otherwise what? I, the princess, have already done her a great favor by sparing her life."

"Kindness?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng's expression turned cold, and she walked step by step toward Princess Mingde.

"As a princess, you are practically a member of the royal family, so you should have a compassionate heart and a benevolent spirit."

She was just a lowly palace maid who accidentally bumped into you, yet you wanted to gouge out her eyes.

Is this what you call kindness? Is this what you call grace? This is called treating human life like dirt.

"If you gouge out her eyes, condemning her to live in eternal darkness, what difference is there between that and death?"

After speaking, Ye Qingcheng walked up to Princess Mingde, standing only one meter away from her.

However, she did not stop and continued to approach her step by step.

Princess Mingde saw Ye Qingcheng exuding an aura of authority as she slowly approached her.

She couldn't help but feel afraid. As Ye Qingcheng approached, she staggered backward, looking at him with fear in her eyes: "You...you...you..."

"I...what do you mean, 'I'? Let me tell you, with me here today, I'm determined to protect this maid."

At this moment, Ye Qingcheng also arrived in front of her and said in a cold tone.

And after the words were spoken...

She turned to the eunuchs and shouted, "All of you, get out of my sight!"

Upon hearing this, the eunuchs all hurriedly retreated to a side, standing trembling with fear.

Of course, they weren't frightened by Ye Qingcheng's shout, but by the words "this concubine" that she used.

You need to know the word "concubine" in this book.

This is not something a maidservant can say casually.

Furthermore, although Ye Qingcheng was dressed as a palace maid, the noble and dignified aura she exuded was something that no maid could fake.

So although they had never met Ye Qingcheng and did not know which palace she belonged to, they believed that Ye Qingcheng at this moment must be a master they could not afford to offend.

She could even disrespect the Empress, so her status must be so high that they couldn't afford to offend her.

This way.

After being released by the eunuchs, the palace maid crawled to Ye Qingcheng's side.

"This servant thanks you, mistress. This servant thanks you, mistress. This servant..."

At this moment, the maid spoke in a tone as if she had just survived a disaster, kowtowing repeatedly to Ye Qingcheng in gratitude.

Ye Qingcheng nodded to her: "Alright, get up!"

"Yes, thank you, Master."

"You lowly servant, how dare you?"

The maid was about to get up.

But then Princess Mingde realized what was happening and shouted again.

Upon hearing this, the maidservant quickly knelt down again, not daring to get up.

Ye Qingcheng then turned to look at her.

"What? You still don't want to give up?"

"You...you...you dare to call yourself 'this concubine'? You're just a maid!"

"A maid? What makes you think I'm a maid?"
