At this time, Lu Cui also spoke up: "I saw it with my own eyes. I blamed that person for being too rude. He knew that it was our princess's first time, but he still used so much force!"
Several old maids looked at each other before saying, "Your Highness, you may have misunderstood. You are still innocent!"
Princess Sheng's charming smile froze instantly. She clenched the teacup tightly in her hand and said, "Impossible! You must have made a mistake. What I felt that night was very real!"
Lu Cui also argued anxiously: "That night, I heard a lot of noise coming from the house. At that time, Her Royal Highness the Princess begged him to be quieter. How could he not do anything?"
The old lady said in embarrassment, "This is the fact. If you don't believe it, go find someone else to check it out. We are not wrong!"
At this time, someone outside was already urging: "Hasn't the test results come out yet? The Emperor is still waiting!"
The old maids did not dare to delay and immediately opened the carriage door and left quickly.
They knelt respectfully before Emperor Sheng An and said, "Your Majesty, we have verified the results and the Princess of Southern Xinjiang is still innocent!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Everyone accused Princess Sheng of talking nonsense, and she even dared to make up lies just to get close to Lord Lin.
Sheng Tianzhu felt so ashamed that he fainted from anger.
Emperor Sheng An did not dare to neglect her. After all, she was the Princess of Southern Xinjiang, and he could not let anything happen to her.
He asked Lin Yiwan to send the person to the inn and instructed her to wake her up.
After she had settled him on the bed, Lin Yiwan spoke softly, "Alright, stop pretending. Now that you're back in your room, no one will laugh at you anymore!"
Sheng Tianzhu finally opened her eyes and asked through gritted teeth, "How do you know I was pretending?"
Lin Yiwan leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Because I'm a doctor, how could I not see through your little trick?"
Even though Sheng Tianzhu was extremely cunning, he couldn't help but look pale and ugly at this moment.
It was unbelievable that she, the Princess of Southern Xinjiang, had to use such a clumsy method to avoid embarrassment.
All her pride and self-esteem in this life were lost in the Sheng Dynasty!
She bit her lip hard, the hatred in her eyes almost turning into substance, she wanted to stare Lin Yiwan to death.
But reason also told her that the woman in front of her was the most precious jewel in the crown of Prince Li of Sheng Dynasty, and she must not offend her.
After swallowing down her anger with great difficulty, she finally managed to utter a few words: "Madam Hou, haven't you seen enough of this joke yet?"
Lin Yiwan shook her head. "I've heard that the Princess of Southern Xinjiang is intelligent and courageous, and is the future ruler that the King of Southern Xinjiang values most. How could you do such a foolish thing as ordering someone to steal the divine map?"
Sheng Tianzhu's expression suddenly changed, and her fingers inside the quilt clenched tightly.
Her eyes were filled with fear and anxiety. She had never thought that Lin Yiwan would say such a thing.
She asked hoarsely, "Madam Hou, what do you mean? I don't understand. Who sent people to steal the divine map?"
Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, "Your Highness, stop acting. Even if you try your best to hide it, your first expression can't deceive anyone. You can't escape my eyes!"
After she finished speaking, she bent her fingers and gestured towards her eyes.
Sheng Tianzhu turned her face away guiltily. She closed her eyes and snorted coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about. Don't try to slander me!"
Lin Yiwan didn't hesitate and threw the fake divine map in front of her from under her bed.
Sheng Tianzhu was dumbfounded: "You, how do you know?"
Lin Yiwan untied her hair and gave her a meaningful smile: "Your Highness, guess what?"
Sheng Tianzhu felt like the sky had fallen. If she couldn't recognize that Lin Yiwan was the young master from that night, then she would really have to give up her eyes.
She was so angry that the skin on her face trembled. She subconsciously picked up the brocade pillow beside her and threw it at Lin Yiwan: "Get out!"
Sheng Tianxue, who was guarding outside, heard the noise and was about to rush in, but she heard Lin Yiwan yell angrily: "If you don't want your princess to die in my hands, get out now!"
Sheng Tianxue glared at him with a pair of fiery eyes, "How dare you! If our princess gets hurt in the slightest, your Sheng Dynasty will be held responsible!"
Lin Yiwan pointed a sharp hairpin at Sheng Tianzhu's throat and said, "Look, someone wants you dead!"
Sheng Tianzhu had calmed down at this moment. She scolded in a deep voice: "Xue'er, stop messing around and get out of here!"
Sheng Tianxue's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Princess, I don't want her to bully you. She is so brave!"
Sheng Tianzhu couldn't bear to be interrupted: "Get lost!"
Seeing that she was angry, Sheng Tianxue naturally didn't dare to continue pestering her.
She turned and walked away quickly, with unconcealable resentment in her eyes.
After the door snapped shut, Sheng Tianzhu gritted her teeth and said, "What do you want? You've humiliated me like this, and you won't give up?"
Lin Yiwan raised an eyebrow. "You brought this humiliation upon yourself, didn't you? If you hadn't been the one to plot against Sheng Chao, how could you have ended up like this?"
Sheng Tianzhu's lips kept trembling. Yes, she couldn't refute this sentence.
She originally wanted to use the divine map to take advantage of Sheng Chao, but in the end she never expected that the stone she lifted would hit her own foot.
She lost miserably!
She took a deep breath and said, "I have no choice. If it weren't for the difficult situation in Southern Xinjiang, how could I have done such a shameful thing?"
Lin Yiwan asked curiously, "Tell me, how difficult is the situation in Southern Xinjiang?"
Sheng Tianzhu spoke in a gloomy voice, "This year's drought has left the people of southern Xinjiang with nothing to harvest. When I arrived, they were already fighting with the war horses for grass. If they can't get the food, many innocent people will starve to death!"
Lin Yiwan was silent for a moment before she sneered, "I really admire you. You're in dire straits, yet you're still clinging to those war horses. Can't you trade them for food?"
Sheng Tianzhu had thought about exchanging war horses for food from surrounding countries, but the court officials disagreed.
They all agreed that war horses were the basis for the survival of Southern Xinjiang. Without war horses, Southern Xinjiang would be devoured by barbarians.
Therefore, no one is allowed to abandon the war horse unless it is absolutely necessary.
Lin Yiwan saw the struggle in her eyes and immediately said, "How about this? I can help Nanjiang solve its food problem, but you must hand over all the war horses to Sheng Chao!"
Sheng Tianzhu subconsciously refused: "No, war horses are the life of Nanjiang, I can't use them to exchange for food!"
Lin Yiwan frowned and pondered, "Are you worried that without the warhorses, Southern Xinjiang will become a piece of meat on the chopping block, at the mercy of others?"
After thinking for a moment, Sheng Tianzhu slowly nodded: "Yes, the barbarians are eyeing us covetously. If it weren't for the war horses to rely on, they would have started a war long ago!"
