Honey trap fail

Why me?

Can the lightning strike me?

Like right now?

Really, couldn't my aunt waited a little bit before she offers me up?

We don't even know if he's going to be a final winner.

At the moment palace is so chaotic that the new emperor could die tomorrow.

Unless that snake of my aunt knows something.

So she offered me up.

What a disaster.

I have everything to lose if this doesn't end well, but she will probably stay free from consequences.

And anyway, how did she knew that emperor will pass by here?

It looks to me like he's coming back from a vigil.

But why pass by here?

This is round about way around.

Well, I will probably never know. Li Suyin was a sheltered lady, I don't think she even knew how many children there are in royal family.

So I have zero information about Jiang Qingyuan, except the things my aunt told me about him.

I made stupid mistake because I'm still not well adapted to this situation.

Even if I adapted to being Li Suyin, her memories can't really help me that much.

This is a palace. And everyone is your enemy.

Well, even if I refrained from eating meals with my aunt, I think she would still find a way for me to get drugged.

She planned so well.

I snapped from my thoughts and looked at man who stood across from me.

Well, it was so cold and my clothes were glued to my body.

If I can survive this, I'm going to end up with a major fever.

Ah, it seemed to me that Jiang Qingyuan was even more beautiful than the last time I saw him.

My face dog heart was burning fiercely.

"Your Majesty" I croaked out.

I was shivering like crazy.

"I seem to be very hot" I continued.

And then I promptly fainted.

If he was a gentleman, he won't do anything to a sickly lady.

I collapsed on a cold ground.

That hurt so much.

But my life is on the line.

So I employed all of my sucky acting skills.

I think emperor seemed a little shocked.

I don't think he considered that somebody will use a honey trap on a day old emperor died.

And then he chuckled.

"Amusing" he said.

I don't want to be amusing. I just wanted to live in peace.

This transmigration sucks.

"Bring her back to her room" he said to his guards.

I want to complain to the management.

I was picked up like a sack of potatoes and brought back. They just chucked me through the window and left me there.

I think later someone came and fed me some potion, and I didn't feel hot anymore.

Unfortunately, from the early morning I developed a fever.

And had to continue laying in the bed.

The most absurd thing was, how did the emperor ignore my beauty last night?

Did my good looks vanish suddenly?

Or he was truly in love with young empress dowager?

Anyway, for now I escaped my fate of being handed to the emperor.

At least for the moment.

But I have to consider carefully what to do from now on.

Can't be defenseless anymore.

Let's hope I survive~
