The three of them saw the princess looking at them and subconsciously moved closer to her.
Dongxue said, "Your Highness, no matter what happens, we will protect you."
Upon hearing this, the maidservants nodded one after another.
Lin Jiaojiao faintly smiled, but her smile didn't reach her eyes. The maids in her courtyard were all good to her.
But now she regretted keeping them by her side. If she had sent them away, they wouldn't be sitting here with her.
It was natural for the maids to be afraid, but she had already died once and was no longer afraid of death.
What she was afraid of was the people she cared about getting hurt.
After a while, Qingtao came in from outside, her face still cold. She said, "Your Highness, the Imperial Guards have withdrawn, and the Prince has returned. He has just entered the mansion."
This good news stunned everyone inside the room.
