Wanyan Ping

Song Qingshu did not dare ask her directly about Huan Yi Yuan. From what Tang Kuobian had said that night, it was obvious he knew about Huan Yi Yuan, so Song Qingshu could only probe indirectly.

Fortunately, Wanyan Ge Bi had never imagined that even her own "husband" would scheme against her through his words, and she inadvertently revealed enough information. "How could that be? Huan Yi Yuan is located deep within the imperial palace. Only a handful of people in the entire court even know it exists. I only learned of it because of you and Ping'er. How could the Song people possibly know?"

"Ping'er?" Song Qingshu was startled. Who exactly was this Ping'er she had mentioned? Why did he know nothing about her? Judging by her tone, this Ping'er was clearly someone very close to her. Song Qingshu did not dare ask and hurriedly changed the subject:

"I'm not too sure about that either. Perhaps the Song people have other channels of information."

Wanyan Ge Bi looked worried. "We must notify Imperial Brother and Ping'er as soon as possible so they can work out a response."

Song Qingshu hurriedly said, "Don't worry. When the emperor's envoy arrives, I'll tell him." What a joke. How could he let her notify Emperor Xizong and that mysterious Ping'er? If he alerted them, rescuing Song Yuanqiao and the others would become much harder.

"That works too." Wanyan Ge Bi gave a soft hum. She had never cared much about affairs of state, and her attention soon returned to her husband. "Wugu La, let me see your injuries." As she spoke, she reached out to undo Song Qingshu's clothes.

Song Qingshu was instantly alarmed. Though he had prepared himself and even arranged marks of injury on his body, those might fool Wanyan Liang
