The tears in his eyes still couldn't be stopped. Yizhu looked at his master in disbelief, who had a calm face, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

After a long while, he finally found his voice, but it was so hoarse that he could not hear anything. "Your Highness, how could His Highness bully you like this? How could he, how could he do this?"

Li Shuangwan smiled bitterly and held Yizhu's hand. Her hands were freezing cold and her whole body was shaking. She was afraid but more angry and worried.

"Princess, what should we do? What will you do in the future?" We can't live like this forever.

Li Shuangwan gently rubbed Yizhu's hands, trying to warm them up: "Mr. Gu Jiu is a secret guard of Prince Heng's Mansion on the surface, but like Shu Wenbo and Liang Tianyou, he has another special identity."

"He, he is..."

Ever since her master was attacked in the suburbs and rescued by the Ninth Young Master and his men, she slowly observed and discovered that although this person was a secret guard of Prince Heng's Palace on the surface, his true identity was probably not simple.

"He is the ninth prince of Daliang, Gu Xingyan."

"Ah..." Yizhu exclaimed, and quickly covered her mouth tightly, "Then how could he..."

How could a prince from another country become a secret guard of Prince Heng's Palace?

Yizhu's face was as pale as paper.

A substitute, sleeping in the same bed with the princess every day. Thinking of this, Yizhu grabbed her hand and couldn't wait to check the toad blood on her arm. The last time she and Roman changed the clothes of the injured princess, she found it was still there.

But the princess is so beautiful that it would be a mistake for a gentleman to sleep with her all the time...

The inspection revealed that the seal on the princess' arm was gone: "He, he, he actually, actually..."

Li Shuangwan held Yizhu's hand and shook his head to comfort her: "No. Don't worry, the Ninth Young Master is a gentleman. In order to confuse Ling Heng, I asked Luo Luo to help me prepare a medicine that can temporarily cover up the toad's blood. If he hadn't told me, I would still be kept in the dark."

Seeing that Yizhu was still confused, she squeezed her hand with a little force: "Yizhu, you can't tell anyone about this."

Yizhu's brain was no longer able to think, and tears were pouring down like a dam: "I, I know, I know, I...Princess, what are you going to do? Or you should tell Concubine Lin about this. Concubine Lin must have been deceived by His Highness. She likes you so much, she will definitely not watch His Highness bully you like this."

Li Shuangwan shook her head: "Linpin knew it a long time ago, or it can be said that it was Linpin who gave Ling Heng the idea."

Yizhu's face turned even paler. "Then, what should we do? Your Majesty, should we tell your Majesty, or the Empress, or the Queen Mother? Yes, yes, tell the Queen Mother, and ask her to make the decision for you. Your Highness is going too far!"

"Don't cry." Li Shuangwan wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "You are the only one who knows about this. Even my mother, I only told her that I didn't consummate the marriage with His Highness. I will tell her about the substitute in person in two days."

But she couldn’t tell her mother about Gu Xingyan’s identity for the time being. Her father, mother and brother were loyal to Northern Jin, and this loyalty was engraved in their bones. She needed time to slowly let them see the true faces of Emperor Jingzhang and his sons.

She sighed softly, "Besides, the Ninth Young Master is the prince of Daliang. If the Emperor knew about this, no one would believe Ling Heng. He would only think that the General's Mansion, which holds a large number of troops, was colluding with Daliang."

"That, that's..."

"For the crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy, all nine generations of your clan will be executed!"

Yizhu was so scared that his whole body shook.

Li Shuangwan gently supported her and said, "So, you can't tell anyone. Yizhu, the reason I told you all this today is that I have to find a way to get out of Prince Heng's Mansion."

"Ling Heng wants to marry me, but he also humiliates me like this. I can't let the entire General's Mansion be deceived by such a villain."

"Then, does Your Highness know the true identities of the Ninth Young Master and his men?"

Li Shuangwan shook his head: "The struggle for succession is always bloody in any country or dynasty. I am not very clear about the details of this matter."

Yizhu's mind was buzzing, but she also knew that this kind of thing was not something she could find out.

Yizhu cried and sobbed: "But, but, King, Princess, the descendants of the Ling family are not allowed to divorce, this is the ancestral precept, how can you get out of this unscathed?"

"I have thought of a perfect plan. Chen Ping will cooperate with me outside, and I will leave the inside to you. You must not reveal the slightest flaw."

Tears kept pouring out of her eyes, but when she heard the princess say that she already had a foolproof plan, she immediately sat up straight and wiped away the tears on her face: "You say, princess, you say, I will listen to you."

Li Shuangwan wiped Yizhu's tears with a handkerchief and said, "Ling Heng wants the baby in my belly. If I get pregnant, he will kill the Ninth Master immediately."

Yizhu's teeth were chattering: "But, but Princess, didn't you say that the Ninth Young Master is a gentleman? He, he doesn't have you..."

Li Shuangwan nodded: "So I asked Luo Luo to prescribe a fake pregnancy drug for me, which will change the pulse. I need you to cooperate with me. The Ninth Master has left Shengjing due to an emergency at home. I just took this opportunity to let the Ninth Master, Shu Master and Liang Master escape from Prince Heng's Mansion. Shu Wenbo has already arranged a substitute."

Yi Zhu shook her head hesitantly: "No, it won't work. His Highness is a meticulous person and he is not that easy to fool. The guard Si Po beside him is also very powerful. Princess, what should I do, what should I do?"

"Don't panic, Yizhu, believe me, I have been planning for so long, I will succeed in one fell swoop."

Li Shuangwan leaned close to Yizhu's ear and told him his plan.

After that, he continued, "Luo Man is simple-minded, so you can't let her know about this. When I successfully escape from Prince Heng's Mansion, you can take Luo Man and A Rong back to the General's Mansion. Ling Heng will not embarrass you."

Yizhu's face turned pale, and apart from nodding, his mind was blank. It turned out that the princess knew that Zhou Caiyao was not her biological sister, but still wanted to take her back. It was for all this.

Li Shuangwan let her take a break and said, "I will only bring Luo Man with me to the palace today. Please help me get the golden wound medicine to see Aunt Zhao."

Yizhu took a few deep breaths, trying to look as normal as possible, and nodded: "Yes, I understand. Princess, you want me to mediate the conflict between you and Madam Zhao in order to gain her trust so that our plan can go smoothly."

Li Shuangwan nodded with relief: "I knew it would be most appropriate to leave this to you."

"Roman will be back soon, don't let her see it."

Yi Zhu nodded: "Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely bring them both out safely."

"Well, I have always been very confident in you. As for Chen Ping, he is calm and capable. He never asks the reasons for the things I arrange. I am also confident that he will meet me outside. Uncle Zhou, I will leave it to him."

"What about Xue'er? She has now joined your side."

Li Shuangwan nodded: "Xue'er, if she is willing, let Chen Ping send her to the farm. I will feel at ease with her grandparents, but she must not know about this."

"Yes, I understand."

While they were talking, Roman pushed the door open and came in. When he saw Yizhu's red eyes, he asked, "Hey, Yizhu, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
