Quick Wear: I and the Villain Beat the Scum Together

Qingyue Palace was now inhabited by Concubine Xu. The original owner had kept a low profile since entering the palace, and had very few interactions with the concubines. It was naturally impossible for Si Ke to simply go to her house and ask for her.

In order to transfer Ling Shuang to his side, he needs an opportunity.

So in the past few days, she began to take a group of palace maids and eunuchs to visit the imperial garden every day.

Needless to say, this garden is truly extraordinary. Yun Heng also enjoys extravagance, so since he ascended the throne, this garden has been renovated several times.

Si Ke's favorite place is a pavilion in the south. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but the faint fragrance of flowers can also make people sleepy.

However, today, before Si Ke even stepped in, a young eunuch came to report that Concubine Wei had invited all the ladies in the palace to go to Changchun Garden to listen to a play.

Si Ke raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, nodded, and followed the eunuch's pace.

Changchun Garden was not far away, and it took about a quarter of an hour to reach it. At this moment, many concubines had already arrived.

Yun Heng had not yet been crowned Empress, so Consort Wei held the highest rank. The seats below were also arranged according to rank.

There was a table for two people, with a small table placed between the chairs, on which were placed tea, fruits and snacks, which was quite comprehensive.

Sitting at the same table with Si Ke was Chen Fei, and when Si Ke saw her, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Yun Heng had four concubines, and besides these two, there were Concubine Li and Concubine Gao. Of these, Concubine Chen was the most special. The reason was simply that she was pregnant.

Yun Heng now has only one prince and one princess. This is his third child and is highly valued.

Concubine Chen naturally looked down on Si Ke and hadn't even glanced at her since she sat down. Not to mention her merchant background, who would like a woman who had no favors or favours?

However, Si Ke found it amusing. This Concubine Chen had been snorting from time to time since she sat down. Anyone who knew would think she disliked her and was unhappy with the seating arrangement. Anyone who didn't would think there was a pig sitting next to Si Ke!

Soon, the stage was filled with activity. The opening gongs and drums instantly attracted everyone's attention.

But just when the play was halfway through, Concubine Chen beside her suddenly cried out. She was seen clutching her stomach, her face in pain, and blood was already oozing from her thigh.

The people who were just immersed in the opera were suddenly startled, shouting for the palace maids and calling for the imperial physician in chaos.

Later, under the diagnosis of the imperial physician, Concubine Chen had a miscarriage.

Si Ke watched the scene indifferently. She naturally knew that this game was aimed at her again. But she didn't expect Rong Heng to be so cruel that he would even use his own child.

Rong Heng soon rushed over. Concubine Chen in the room was crying uncontrollably.

Rong Heng emerged from the inner chamber, his expression chillingly gloomy. The maid who had previously poured tea was also brought forward. "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I know nothing!"

"Don't know? Concubine Chen had a miscarriage because someone put drugs in her tea, and you tell me you don't know?" Rong Heng stepped forward and kicked the palace maid to the ground.

"Your Majesty, I used the same teapot to pour tea for each concubine. If drugs were put in, why are the other concubines fine? I am innocent, please investigate..." The maid got up from the ground and kowtowed continuously.

Rong Heng seemed to be thinking, but after a moment, he shot a fierce look at Si Ke: "Si Fei, you are so bold, you dare to murder the heir to the throne."

Si Ke felt sarcastic in his heart, it came so soon.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

"Concubine Chen had her tea poisoned, causing her to miscarry. She was fine when I came here, and you were closest to her, so you had the best chance to do it. How dare you say it wasn't you?"

"Is this how the Emperor concludes that I am the murderer of Concubine Chen?" Si Ke looked incredulous and aggrieved.

"There is no poison in your tea. How are you going to explain it?" Rong Heng pointed at her, almost tearing her apart and eating her.

"Your Majesty, I have no connection with Concubine Chen. Why would you harm her?"

"Of course you are jealous of the baby in her belly." This time it was Concubine Wei who interrupted.

If the situation hadn't prevented it, Si Ke would have retched. Jealousy, the sight of this man made her want to vomit, okay? "Really? If I were jealous, I could have just given him those abortion drugs. The other concubines would have been fine even if they drank them. Why did you have to poison him?"

"Because you can't bribe these palace maids, I naturally took a risky move and did it myself." Concubine Wei was still unyielding. It seemed that she had thought of these excuses long ago.

Si Ke scoffed inwardly, but kept a straight face. Her eyes were red, a hint of stubbornness in them. "Your Majesty, when I was still waiting to be married in Jiangnan, I once heard of something called a mandarin duck pot. It could hold two kinds of water, and with a flick of a mechanism, different kinds of water would pour out."

After hearing Si Ke's words, everyone started whispering. Indeed, many people in the boudoir had heard of this thing. Elders in the family, fearing their children wouldn't be on guard, would mention it. This mandarin duck pot was widely used in brothels, making it a convenient way to drug someone and ruin their innocence.

Rong Heng said, "Everything in the palace is made to specifications by specialized craftsmen. How could such inferior things be found in the palace?"

Si Ke did not refute. Is it difficult to bring one of these things back from outside? You are the emperor. Let alone bringing it back, it is not a problem to make one for the palace.

Seeing that Si Ke no longer made excuses, the emperor was delighted. There was nothing more to say.

He was about to wave his hand and order someone to take Si Ke away, but he saw Si Ke glance at him and sit down on the chair next to him.

Then he reached out, grabbed the apple on the table, and put it down. He then moved around the fruit plate, leaning forward or backward. But no matter which direction he moved, Si Ke needed to move with a huge range of motion, otherwise he wouldn't be able to reach the other side.

Her clothes had the most popular wide sleeves at the time, and any of the movements she made would block the view of the people behind her.

In other words, if it was really Si Ke who drugged the woman, the noise would have definitely attracted the attention of the people watching the show from behind. How could no one have noticed it, unless they were blind?

The emperor stared at the woman in amazement, and the smart man reacted instantly.

"You bold Concubine Si, the evidence is conclusive and you still have the leisure to eat fruit here. Concubine Chen just lost her child, and you have no regrets at all. Come on, arrest her!" This time it was Concubine Wei who jumped out. Seeing that everyone was stunned, she immediately shouted.

However, some people are used to taking advantage of the power of others and think that the guards will really listen to them.

"Your Majesty, why don't you arrest such a criminal?" Concubine Wei was too embarrassed to admit her guilt and tugged at Rong Heng's sleeve.

Rong Heng froze. He had always thought that Concubine Wei understood his heart well and was gentle and considerate, and he had always liked her. Now he realized how foolish this woman was, unable to see such a big flaw. She even said that this time she would definitely punish Si Ke and take down the Si family.

A single move by someone else had ruined the whole situation, and she was completely unaware of it. More importantly, he had also lost a child.

Si Ke didn't care what he was thinking. Instead, she slowly stood up, her eyes full of grievance and disappointment. She finally wiped away the non-existent tears with her hands. "Your Majesty, do you believe me?"

What could he say with so many people watching?

"My beloved, I have wronged you. It's all my fault!" Yun Heng felt like he was going crazy. At this time, he had to perform a passionate and tragic love story.

This woman must have done it on purpose. She could have proven it from the beginning, but she insisted on making him lose face like this. Admitting publicly that he had wronged her, this damn woman.
