What shocked Wanyan Ping was that a miracle had actually happened! The guards dispersed one after another with blank expressions, as though the prison break had never happened at all!
"See? I didn't lie to you. I can leave whenever I want, and the reason I'm staying here is that I have to." Song Qingshu turned back and smiled at Wanyan Ping.
Yet Wanyan Ping felt a chill run down her spine. Her familiar brother-in-law had suddenly become incomparably strange to her. She instinctively took a step back, widening the distance between them.
Song Qingshu sighed. "I know you have a lot of questions right now, but this isn't the place. Go home and protect your sister first. Once this is over, I'll explain everything to you in detail."

"Madam is receiving a guest in the main hall."
"What guest?" Wanyan Ping asked suspiciously.
"I think it's King of Hailing."
Wanyan Ping's heart jolted, and she hurried toward the main hall.

Wanyan Liang noticed the unnatural look on her face, but assumed that she had exhausted herself
