Wasn't I His Majesty's White Moonlight?

Luo Yingying transmigrated again. This time, she landed in the middle of a family execution.

Over a hundred people knelt on the ground. An old man shouted at the sky, “Huo Zhengyun! You murdered your father and brother and usurped the throne. Heaven will punish you!”

Hearing that name, Luo Yingying was stunned.

Huo Zhengyun? Wasn't he the pitiful little prince she'd found in the cold palace the last time she transmigrated?

The round-faced eunuch sitting in a grand chair smiled and said, “Grand Tutor Jiang, calling His Majesty by his personal name is treason. For those words alone, the 216 members of your Jiang family deserve to be executed or exiled.”

He pointed to each group, kindly explaining, “These are your relatives. They'll be executed. Those are your servants. They'll be exiled.”

Luo Yingying took a sharp look and saw that she was among those to be exiled.

Question: What do you do when you transmigrate and immediately find out you're about to be exiled?

Answer: Hurry up, pull some strings and latch onto a powerful patron to save yourself!

If she was going to latch onto someone, she might as well pick the most powerful person there was.

Luo Yingying stood up and shouted, “I'm the younger sister of Lady Luo Ying, who once saved His Majesty. I want to see Huo... I want to see the Emperor!”

Luo Yingying remembered that before Huo Zhengyun ascended the throne, he'd tugged on her sleeve beneath the crabapple tree behind the Hall of Government and said, his face flushed and unable to meet her eyes, “Yingying.”

“Yingying is the cinnabar mark in my heart, the moonlight in the sky.”

Luo Yingying naively thought that once Huo Zhengyun met the “younger sister” of his beloved, he would at least help her out.

But after she was brought to the palace, the Emperor propped his head on one hand and glanced at her indifferently. “You're Lady Luo Ying's younger sister?”

Luo Yingying nodded.

“In that case...”

He smiled faintly. “You won't be exiled.”

“You'll be sentenced to death by slicing.”

Luo Yingying: ?

Aren't I your moonlight?

Is this how you treat your beloved?
