It's not a desirable solution, but if she's motivated enough she can punish her grandfather by dumping chunks of broken cities into his realm so she can search them.

She's not a prisoner. She's a protected guest.
> Besides, it's not all that futile and stupid. After getting a couple of broken cities dumped in his back yard, maybe her grandfather will decided to cooperate.

I think it would merely tip him to the fact that Liu Xi isn't 100% behind his programme.
