Su Ruofan called out weakly.

Su Ruodan ignored her younger brother.

In her past life, she sacrificed everything for the so-called greater good, but what was the result?

Her father, mother, and brother all abandoned her, and the organization took advantage of her.

In this life, all she wants is to live.

"Traitor! Have you forgotten who you are?! Do you think they'll let us go?"

As the woman's voice gradually revealed information about the organization, Zhao Hanshan suddenly sprang to his feet, trying to grab her through the iron bars and yelling at her.

"I'm going to die either way, but I've only been in the organization for a little over two months! My crime doesn't deserve to die!!"

Su Ruodan looked coldly at the man who had used her in her past life, and chuckled softly.

Zhao Hanshan's expression changed drastically, and he broke down in anger, cursing.

"Do you really think the Pavilion Master is some kind of benevolent and righteous man? How much of your donated silver has he and Zhao Hanshan embezzled? And how many women have they forcibly taken from the people behind your backs?!"

Su Ruodan turned to the other members of the Zhanjun Pavilion. The dungeon was in an uproar. She had only gradually learned about these things from Yin Jiuxiao after she entered the palace in her previous life.

The executioner was intrigued by the infighting: "Interesting. Someone, go and ask the master."

Soon, the executioner unlocked the chains on her wrists. She walked past the next cell, and Su Ruodan glanced at her younger brother.

The boy's eyes were filled with shock and disappointment, along with some confusion, but no resentment.

He knew his sister too well; he knew she wasn't someone who feared death, and there must be a reason why she did this.

"Live on."

Su Ruodan mouthed the words silently, then turned and followed the guard away.

Her heart pounded as she walked down the dark corridor.

This is not fear, but resolve.

In her past life, she chose to die for the greater good.

In this life, she is determined to change her fate.

"Your Majesty, the prisoner has been brought in."

The guards stopped in a dungeon and took Su Ruodan inside.

Su Ruodan took a deep breath; she was about to face the tyrant who had ruined her life once again.

But this time, she wouldn't give him any chance to look at her differently. Whatever he disliked, she would do the same.

The cell was very sturdy, and candlelight poured out.

Su Ruodan squinted, adjusting to the sudden light.

When she saw the situation outside, she gasped for breath.

Outside the cell, Yin Jiuxiao sat lazily in a grand chair, toying with an exquisite dagger in his hand.

He was younger than I remembered, but his eyes were still as sharp as a hawk's, as if they could see right through people's hearts.

"I heard you're going to confess?"

Yin Jiuxiao's voice was deep and pleasant, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.

"This sinful woman is willing to confess all the secrets of the Executioner's Pavilion, only begging Your Majesty to have mercy and spare my life."

Su Ruodan knelt down, her forehead touching the ground.

She could feel Yin Jiuxiao's gaze lingering on her.

In her past life, it was at this very moment that she stubbornly raised her head, piquing the interest of this tyrant.

"I've heard of the Executioner's Pavilion. I've heard that its people are always more willing to die than surrender. You, on the other hand... are afraid of death?"

Yin Jiuxiao chuckled softly.

"This sinful woman is afraid of death! This sinful woman knows where the Execution Pavilion is, I beg Your Majesty to grant this sinful woman a way out!"

"Your Majesty!! The sinful woman knows all the strongholds of the Slaying Monarch Pavilion, its members, and its operational plans!!"

Su Ruodan deliberately acted as if she were afraid of death.

Yin Jiuxiao stared at her with her head down and sneered. Suddenly, he turned around and said, "Take her to the interrogation room."

"yes."

A man in black emerged from the shadows.

Su Ruodan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a success!

Yin Jiuxiao showed no particular interest in her, which meant she had avoided the fate of being taken into the harem in her previous life!
