Wu Gang and Gu Da did not object, as they were both heavy drinkers.

Although I fell asleep yesterday, it didn't affect anything, so I drank with more peace of mind today.

So, Lin Shuangshuang used the same excuse as yesterday to leave.

When the shopkeeper saw that the man wanted to buy two whole lambs at once, he naturally agreed to his request.

Lin Shuangshuang went to the yard where Li Yila was hiding. After exchanging secret signals with Hu Zi, Hu Zi quietly opened the door and let Lin Shuangshuang in.

"You are alone here. Is Banda here?"

Hu Zi shook his head: "He hasn't come since he left yesterday."

"Well, you stay outside and I'll go in and take a look."

When Lin Shuangshuang went in, Li Yila was still in a coma.

"Grandma, wake up."

Li Yila was woken up. Seeing Lin Shuangshuang, she was a little excited. She wanted to reach out and hold her but she didn't have the strength to do so.

Lin Shuangshuang seemed to understand her intention and took the initiative to hold her hand.

"Grandma, are you feeling better?"

"If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me."

"If the wound hurts a lot, I can increase the dosage of the painkiller."

She wanted to say that a pain pump could be used, but she swallowed the words back. These ancient people didn't know anything about pain pumps, so it would be useless to say anything.

"Little sister, thank you, thank you for saving grandma's life."

"If it weren't for you, grandma would have died long ago."

"But grandma is not worth your saving. It's too dangerous. If the young prince finds out, you will die."

"Grandma called you here today because she wants you to escape with Banda. We can't stay in the Kingdom of Jin anymore."

"Take Banda back to your Dayu Dynasty. He will protect you along the way."

"You don't have to worry about me anymore. I'm old and I won't live for many more years. The sooner I die, the sooner I'll be free. You'll just be a burden if you keep me with you."

"When the Dayu Dynasty comes, if you are willing to marry Banda, then marry him. If not, then don't marry him. He is a grown man and can support himself."

Lin Shuangshuang frowned slightly and asked curiously: "Grandma, what happened? Why did the young prince want to kill you?"

"Aren't you his wet nurse?"

"Hasn't he always been respectful to you?"

"And Bandago, why can't he stay in the Kingdom of Jin?"

"What happened?"

Li Yila coughed weakly twice, and Lin Shuangshuang quickly brought her some water and fed her two sips.

"I discovered the young prince's secret, a huge secret that could bring unrest to the Kingdom of Jin."

"That's why the prince can't tolerate me. Only the dead can keep secrets forever."

"The young prince is a narrow-minded person. He will get rid of Banda next. Even if Banda knows nothing, the prince will never be soft-hearted in the face of such a big event."

"He would rather kill someone by mistake than miss him."

"Even if he doesn't want to be killed, once his deeds are exposed, all his clans will be killed."

"As his confidant, Banda also could not escape death."

"I was also terrified yesterday. I just wanted to tell Banda not to seek revenge so that I could save my life."

“But now I understand that this matter is too big. Even if Banda does nothing, he will still die.”

"So, he had no choice but to flee to the Dayu Dynasty and live his whole life in anonymity."

Seeing Li Yila's serious look, Lin Shuangshuang asked, "What secret did you discover?"

Li Yila was trembling all over, her face was pale, and she seemed to be hesitating. Lin Shuangshuang did not urge her.

After a long while, she lowered her voice and said, "Come closer."

Lin Shuangshuang leaned over and whispered to Li Yila in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The former crown prince is not dead yet. He is being held under house arrest by the young prince in a secret room in the palace."

"The prince has been tortured by the young prince to the point where he is no longer human, his limbs are broken and he is insane."

"In the past two years, the young prince has suddenly become very skilled in both civil and military affairs, and is very good at fighting. He has won the emperor's appreciation, and he even intends to make him the new crown prince."

"But in fact, he is not truly a man of both civil and military talents. His ways of governing the country were all squeezed from the crown prince."

"Now the crown prince is almost being tortured to death by him, but the king has not passed the crown prince position to him, and the queen's family is also eyeing him covetously."

"So, the young prince is preparing to launch a coup to kill his brother and father."

"I just happened to see this incident, so he was eager to kill and silence him."

“So, even if Banda doesn’t know anything, he will never let Banda go.”

Suddenly, Li Yila ignored the pain and excitedly held Lin Shuangshuang's hand tightly: "Where is Banda? Why doesn't he come to see me?"

"Has he been in trouble?"

Lin Shuangshuang looked at her excited expression, fearing that she would tear the wound, and hurriedly comforted her: "No, no, Brother Banda is fine."

"He has returned to the palace and can't come out to visit you often, otherwise it will arouse suspicion."

"Bandago is the most skilled martial artist among the palace guards. He saw the young prince assassinate you with his own eyes, so he will naturally be on guard against him."

"Even if the young prince really wants to kill him, it won't be an easy task."

"When it comes to a life-and-death struggle, Brother Banda is no fool and will definitely find a way to save himself."

"Even if you can't beat them, you can always run away."

“I know you are worried about Bandago, but you have to think long term.”

"You know that Bandago has a kind heart. He will never abandon you unless he dies."

"But your body will need at least three to six months to recover. You absolutely cannot escape now."

"So, even if you want to escape, you have to come up with a complete plan."

"Just rest and recover. I will discuss countermeasures with Brother Fangfa."

"Then we will flee together, and we will be safe when we reach the Dayu Dynasty."

Li Yila was still very excited. She insisted that they could not wait any longer, otherwise no one would be able to escape.

"Silly girl, we really don't have time. You come from the countryside and don't understand the struggles in the court, nor do you understand the horror of power."

"You will escape tonight."

Lin Shuangshuang asked: "Grandma, Brother Banda has a greater chance of escaping alone, why do you insist on letting him take me with him?"

"As a woman, I will only hold him back."

Li Yila said with tears in her eyes: "You are a good girl. You shouldn't have been involved. Grandma doesn't want you to die."

"If the young prince knows that you saved me, you will surely die."

"Even if the young prince is defeated, the Queen's family will not let anyone in the palace go, including you."

"Everyone in the royal court knows that you were sent to the Imperial Master's Mansion by the young prince. In their eyes, you are also a member of the Imperial Master's Mansion."

"If the prince's cause fails, or the usurpation of the throne fails, and the nine clans of the royal family are exterminated, you and Banda will be implicated."

Lin Shuangshuang was touched. She didn't expect that he was still thinking of her at such a critical moment when human lives were at stake.

"Grandma, I actually have a way to save Bandago and save him from having to flee everywhere."

"any solution?"

Lin Shuangshuang thought about it and said in a serious tone: "Let him go to the Imperial Master."
