She sarcastically said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is Zhao Xiaoyu's tablet, right? Are you trying to murder my brother to avenge her?"

Even with the facts right in front of her, Nanny Ping still refused to admit it.

She glared with bloodshot eyes and said, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. If you want me to die, I will not hesitate. But please don't use such despicable means of throwing dirty water!"

She was certain that there was no name engraved on the tablet, so she would never admit that she was seeking revenge for Zhao Xiaoyu.

However, Prince Li spoke coldly, "Back then, you made a purse for Zhao Xiaoyu, and you also made one for me. I threw that one away a long time ago. Do you think I'll forget about it?"

It was not until this moment that Nanny Ping became nervous.

She cried and said, "My Lord, I was wrong. Please spare my life for the sake of my hard work in the palace for half my life. I was just blinded by greed for a moment. I will never dare to do it again!"

Prince Li stared at her with a frown. "Where did the infected clothes come from? And Zhao Xiaoyu has been dead for a long time. Why are you only thinking of revenge now?"

Matron Ping shook her head vigorously. "I found this from a fellow villager. I've waited so long because I've never encountered such an opportunity before. Your Majesty, I truly know I was wrong. Please, spare my life!"

Her voice was miserable and she looked miserable, but King Li did not show any mercy at all.

He never lets betrayers go.

Especially since he hurt his son, he must die!

He said in a deep voice: "Where is your fellow countryman?"

Matron Ping murmured softly, "He's dead. After receiving the money from the slaves, he got drunk and fell into the moat. His body has been recovered. If you don't believe me, you can go to the government office to verify it!"

King Li narrowed his eyes and cut off all the clues. It was indeed a good method.

He sneered, "If that's the case, then you can die too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the secret guards came in to drag the man away.

Matron Ping screamed, "Your Highness, I am an old man who has been away from the palace. How can you be so cruel? In your eyes, can our lives be disposed of at will?"

Prince Li heard the provocation in her words and said coldly, "In Prince Li's mansion, anyone with evil intentions will die!"

Nanny Ping shuddered all over, she knew that Prince Li was killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

She could only plead in a hoarse voice: "I was wrong, please spare my life, my lord!"

King Li turned a deaf ear and ordered her to be dragged away and executed.

After the courtyard quieted down, he softly asked Lin Yiwan, "Wanwan, what do you think about this matter?"

Lin Yiwan said worriedly, "Madame Ping's fellow townsman is very suspicious, but now the clues have been cut off, we can't find anything!"

Prince Li nodded. "People's hearts are hidden. I didn't know that even after Zhao Xiaoyu's death for so long, Madam Ping still harbored resentment and wanted to avenge her!"

Lin Yiwan soothed him softly, "Fortunately, my brother is fine. No matter how many tricks they come up with, aren't we all safe? Father, don't worry. There will always be a way out!"

Having said that, Prince Li still felt guilty towards his family.

If it weren't for his negligence, the princess and the children would not have been so frightened.

Fortunately, Lin Yiwan had developed a special medicine a long time ago, otherwise, the entire Li Wang Mansion would be in dire straits now.

He spoke sincerely, "Wanwan, I'm sorry! Have you ever blamed your father for not protecting you, your mother, and your brother?"

Lin Yiwan quickly shook her head. "Father is a man of integrity, so he's naturally not good at dealing with the dirty affairs of the harem. I don't blame you. With me around, the harem will surely be peaceful and tranquil, and my brother will grow up safely!"

Prince Li lowered his eyes and chuckled, raising his hand to rub the back of her head: "Be good!"

Just as he finished speaking, Zi'er walked into the courtyard and reported, "Madam, the Princess of Southern Xinjiang has sent an invitation, inviting you to go shopping tomorrow!"

Lin Yiwan's eyes widened in surprise: "She asked me to go shopping with her?"

Zi'er nodded: "The princess said that she only recognizes you in Sheng Dynasty. She hopes that you can show her hospitality and let her see the splendor and prosperity of Sheng Dynasty's capital!"

Lin Yiwan sighed helplessly. These words made it impossible for her to refuse.

She had no choice but to agree: "Go and tell Princess Nanjiang, I will go shopping with her tomorrow!"

Zi'er obeyed the order and turned to leave. Prince Li then gently warned, "Southern Xinjiang has long intended to form an alliance with the Sheng Dynasty. If this princess is polite, you should respond normally. If she is rude, you don't have to indulge her. They won't dare to act rashly anyway!"

Lin Yiwan felt that the princess of Southern Xinjiang was a decisive person. She cut off Sheng Tianxue's wrist without hesitation, which was enough to show that she was very determined. She should be able to recognize the current situation and not do anything wrong.

She nodded immediately: "Don't worry, father, I can handle it myself!"

At this time, in the inn where the Southern Xinjiang envoys were staying, Sheng Tianzhu was asking her maid Lu Cui to help her choose suitable clothes.

She looked at the white pearl dress and said, "No, this one is too plain. I'm going shopping, not to a funeral. Why should I dress like this?"

Lu Cui had no choice but to take out another bright red brocade dress and asked cautiously, "What about this one? The red is bright and bold, and the aura is also very strong!"

Sheng Tianzhu gestured on her body and quickly shook her head: "Why does this look like a bride going out on the street? It's too eye-catching. I need to change it!"

She threw the skirt on the bed and urged Lu Cui to get another one.

At this moment, Sheng Tianxue walked in from outside and said, "Your Highness, I remember you made a violet narrow-waisted skirt before. You can wear that one!"

Sheng Tianzhu frowned and looked at her, his tone unable to hide his concern: "Isn't your wrist still injured? What are you running out for?"

Sheng Tianxue smiled bitterly: "My injury is nothing, and I am bored lying in the room, so I just came over to talk to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Sheng Tianzhu stepped forward and held her arm and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Sheng Tianxue tried her best to quietly conceal the hatred in her eyes. She lowered her head slightly and replied, "It doesn't hurt much anymore. Thank you, Princess, for having the doctor give me good medicine!"

Sheng Tianzhu sighed helplessly: "Do you still resent me? I don't want to, but for the alliance between the two countries and for the people of Southern Xinjiang, I can only do that!"

Sheng Tianxue quickly shook her head: "I don't hate Your Highness. Not to mention that Your Highness cut off my wrist, even if you wanted to kill me, I would not hesitate, because it was you who saved my life. You also treated me as your own sister and gave me a name!"

Sheng Tianzhu reached out and pinched her face: "If you were as sweet as she is, you wouldn't have angered Lin Yiwan. Wouldn't the injury on your wrist have been in vain?"
