Si Ke woke up in a luxurious palace. Lao Liu saw that she woke up and quickly transmitted the plot.

This is the Daxing Dynasty. The current emperor is Rong Heng, a truly incompetent ruler. The original owner, Si Ke, was the daughter of Jiangnan's richest man. Two months ago, Yun Heng forcibly recruited her into the palace. Yun Heng disliked her and despised her merchant background. He married her, waiting for her to make a mistake in the palace so he could legitimately plunder the wealth of Jiangnan's richest man, thus enriching the treasury and allowing him to squander his wealth. He also gave her the title of concubine once she entered the palace, figuring the higher her rank, the more serious the charges she would face in the future.

The villain Rong Xuan's mother was a princess from a foreign tribe. Although beautiful, she was not of high status. As a result, she fell out of favor soon after entering the palace.

With a mother who was not favored, the son naturally fell out of favor with the late emperor. Later, to shield his son from the palace's infighting, the 14-year-old Rong Xuan was sent to the military camp. He proved himself capable, making significant contributions in several major battles. The late emperor bestowed upon him the title of War King, and he remained stationed in the northwest.

Who wouldn't be afraid of a prince who holds military power? So Rong Heng arranged this dinner while he was back, letting something happen between the original owner and Rong Xuan. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone and catch them both in one fell swoop?

In the original storyline, the original owner and Rong Xuan were caught red-handed. The original owner was sentenced to death, the Jiangnan Si family was raided, and the entire clan was exiled. As for Rong Xuan, he was charged with causing chaos in the imperial court and forced to surrender half of his military power. He was then forcibly detained in the capital, given a nominal position and not allowed to return to the northwest.

Although Rong Heng was a tyrant, he was not completely brainless. During this period, he began to erode Rong Xuan's remaining influence in the northwest.

Rong Xuan did not do nothing. Under his deployment, it took them half a year to successfully escape back to the northwest, then they proclaimed themselves king and launched a counterattack.

By then, Rong Heng had already infiltrated a number of the Northwest Army. Although many were eventually eliminated, some slipped through the net. Therefore, the outcome was self-evident: Rong Xuan ultimately failed.

The original owner's request was that Si Qi be able to protect the Si family from being implicated, and to provide assistance to Rong Xuan if necessary.

Si Ke smiled. In fact, even if the original owner hadn't told her, she would have done the latter point, and even more. You have to know that this dog emperor is his enemy. The only way to save the Si family is to overthrow the dog emperor. And to achieve this, doesn't that mean he can only help Rong Xuan succeed?

Thinking of Rong Xuan, Si Ke couldn't help but gasp. Damn, he's indeed the brother of the dog emperor, a bastard! His whole body feels like it's falling apart. You can imagine how cruel that man was yesterday.

However, Si Ke was surprised that this body had not been touched by the dog emperor for two months since entering the palace.

"Sixth Brother, is that dog emperor no good? Or is this body just ugly?" Si Ke raised his hand and touched his cheek, his eyes full of confusion.

"No, how could the body I found for you be ugly? It's a completely super, invincible beauty, okay?" Lao Liu rolled his eyes where Si Ke couldn't see. "If you were really ugly, Rong Xuan would have kicked you out if he had touched you last night."

"Is that man still a face-chaser? After what happened yesterday, I thought a woman would be enough."

"Tsk, you're not a face-chaser. If I found you someone skinny, short, fat, and ugly, would you be able to accept what happened yesterday?"

Si Ke thought about it and found himself speechless.

"Then is there a female protagonist in this world?" Si Ke decided to change the subject.

"Yes, Concubine Wei! She is the emperor's favorite concubine and also his behind-the-scenes military advisor. It was her idea to pair the original owner with Rong Xuan this time."

Si Ke nodded and recalled the elegant and graceful woman. She was a ruthless person. Did she want to kill two birds with one stone?

"By the way, how did I get back yesterday?" Si Ke remembered that she fainted at the end and she didn't know anything after that.

"She was brought back by that bastard!" There was a smile hidden in Lao Liu's voice.

Well, at least he still has a little conscience.

Si Ke sat up and wanted to get up. But when he saw the marks all over his body, his face turned black. "Sixth Brother, please wipe off these marks on my body."

"If you beg me, I will apply it for you." Lao Liu continued calmly.

Si Ke laughed in anger. This guy has learned to manipulate people. However, it is not certain who will manipulate whom.

"You're not going to wipe it off, right? It's up to you then. If the palace servants come in and see it, do you think they'll tell the damn emperor? I'm afraid everyone in this palace is his spies. Let's guess how long it will take him to arrive? If the mission fails, it won't be my fault..."

"Okay, stop talking. Can't I just wipe it off?" Lao Liu said angrily.

"Not yet! I need to recover from this soreness and weakness in my body as well. Otherwise, when the dog emperor shows up, my legs will be weak and I'll be exposed..."

"Haha! Do you want me to repair that layer of membrane for you?" Lao Liu wanted to bang his head against the wall.

"You still have this ability, it's not impossible!"

"Dog host..."

……

Just as Si Ke had expected, Rong Heng arrived not long after.

The clothing of this era was similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, very open. Almost all the skin below the neck was exposed. So, everything was visible at a glance.

Rong Heng glanced at her neck before shifting his gaze to her face.

"Where did my beloved concubine go yesterday? Did you know that people in your palace searched for her for half the night and couldn't find her?"

Si Ke was disgusted by his words "my beloved concubine", but no matter how disgusted she was, she still had to perform the play.

"Didn't I go straight back to the palace yesterday?" Si Ke looked surprised and completely puzzled, and turned to look at her chief palace maid Lingxiang.

Lingxiang was startled and quickly said, "Yesterday, the Queen was drunk. When she passed by Qingxin Pavilion, she said she was cold and asked me to get her a cloak. But when I brought it back, the Queen had disappeared. Maybe she came back on her own at that time..."

"It's strange. Aren't there usually a lot of eunuchs and palace maids following me in and out? Why were you the only one following me yesterday?" Si Ke continued to ask.

Ling Xiang's voice gradually became smaller and smaller. "Your Majesty, you said you didn't want them to follow you. You wanted to be alone and quiet..."

"Really? Why don't I remember giving such an order?" Si Ke frowned, as if trying hard to recall.

Rong Heng glanced at her, then directly scolded Ling Xiang: "Stupid! Didn't you know that the queen was drunk? How dare you leave her alone? How dare you! Someone, take this slave to the laundry. I don't want to see her again."

Two guards suddenly came in and dragged Lingxiang out. "Your Majesty, please spare my life..."

The intention was to let the palace maid take the blame and cover up the matter.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for making the decision for me." Si Ke bowed slightly and saluted.

But Yun Heng frowned deeply.
