Jiang Ci never expected that he would be beheaded by his whole family three days after his wedding, and he would become a death row prisoner on the beheading stage.
At three quarters in the afternoon, before the knife fell, she exposed the executioner's dirt in public, forcing the executioner to dare not take action.
Then, the rumored cold-blooded regent Pei Yan chopped her shackles in pieces in front of the entire capital—
"People, I'll take them away."
Everyone thought she was a prison pet raised by the regent.
Only Jiang Ci knew that there was just a deal between them - she helped him open a secret passage, and he kept her father alive.
The first level of the secret passage: eunuch uniform, tribute tea, and a conversation record.
The second floor of the secret passage: a study room with annotations all over the wall, three hundred names that were silenced.
The evidence points directly to the current chief minister, or even... That supreme position.
Pei Yan pushed her against the corner and said in a low voice, "It's still too late to retreat now."
Jiang Ci smiled and inserted the key into the keyhole: "Pei Yan, I even survived the beheading stage, why are you afraid of this?"
