Nan Xueyin was escorted back to the Court of Judicial Review Prison.
"We may not conduct as many interrogations here at the Court of Judicial Review as they do in other dungeons, but that doesn't mean we’re short on instruments of torture! Zhou Lü, you know exactly what’s going on here! You had better start talking and tell us who ordered you to kill that high-profile prisoner, or don't blame my brothers for being rough!"
Nan Xueyin steadied her breathing. She had to hold firm that she was indeed Zhou Lü; she could not let a single detail slip. They wanted information, so while they would resort to harsh interrogation, they wouldn't kill her outright. She would stay here and wait for Prince Duan, Xiao Mingyu, to arrive. If he could arrive in time and use his status as a Prince to create a commotion, she could find a gap to escape.
