Quick Wear: I and the Villain Beat the Scum Together

When Rong Xuan came in, Si Ke looked more haggard than before.

He walked directly to Si Ke's bed, sat down sideways, and asked with concern: "Are you feeling better? Is there any pain anywhere?"

"I'm fine, Your Majesty, let's have a good talk!" Si Ke's voice slowed down a bit, with some sincerity.

"You should take good care of your injuries. If there's anything, we can talk about it after you've recovered." Rong Xuan didn't want to talk about it. In his mind, Si Ke was planning to leave him. She was willing to die for that man, to block his attacks, so he already knew what she would say next.

"Why did you come to pick me up?" Si Ke didn't allow him to dodge and asked directly.

Rong Xuan took a deep breath, knowing he couldn't escape, and replied, "I want an answer."

"what is the answer?"

"When you faked your death and left the palace, the Si family had already moved to the northwest. You could say you were completely out of Rong Heng's control. But why did you go into the mountains to save me, to live and die with me? And then, why did you even run to Youmen Pass to guard it for me? If it was to repay this favor, the food and fodder provided by the Si family would have been more than enough to repay it, and you wouldn't have had to risk your life. But if you had feelings for me, why did you leave without saying goodbye after the mission was accomplished? I don't understand. Can you give me an answer?"

It turns out that she is not the only one who is struggling, is Rong Xuan the same?

Si Ke thought about it, considering how to answer, and then said: "Your Majesty, I didn't think too much when I left. I was just afraid that you would recruit me into the palace to be your concubine. I had enough of Rong Heng's harem, so I don't want to, and I don't want to, enter the palace again."

"I'm not Rong Heng!" Rong Xuan said in a strong voice, with a hint of anger in his tone.

"Does it matter whether it's true or not? Every emperor has three harems, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. I don't want to compete for favors, and I don't want to be surrounded by one man all day." The biggest difference between him and Rong Heng is that he won't threaten her with the Si family. However, this is only for now; who can say for sure what will happen in the future?

Rong Xuan understood that Si Ke had misunderstood his words, and quickly explained: "I don't have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. You will be the only one in my harem from now on, and you have always been the only one I want to marry."

"No, what about Lu Xian'er?" Si Ke was confused.

Rong Xuan was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes slightly. "Who told you about Lu Xian'er? Did someone tell you something?"

"Your Majesty, I have followed you all the way, and you have never told anyone about our relationship. Could it be that you are leaving room for Lu Xian'er, or are you afraid that she will know about our relationship and affect your relationship?"

Well, she actually really cared. She had always cared about Rong Xuan’s concealment and unwillingness to admit her facts.

Rong Xuan was really dumbfounded this time. So this was the crux of the matter?

"I'm not denying it. At that time, the war was imminent, and I didn't dare to make any promises to you. I was afraid that I would never come back, and wouldn't that delay you?"

At this moment, Rong Xuan was completely relieved. So, she didn’t dislike him, it was just... too many misunderstandings!

"As for Lu Xian'er, she's not as deeply in love with me as the outside world says. The person she loves is Yong Wang Rong Jing. As for those rumors about her saving me many times when I was young and seeing me off on the expedition, they were just using me as a cover to spread rumors. When I was young, I suffered from the coldness of human nature in the palace. The time she stood up and accused the princes who bullied me was just because Yong Wang happened to be passing by at that time, and she did it to show him. As for the farewell, it's even more outrageous. She went to see her brother off. Her brother was ordered to be the supervisor of that expedition."

"Then she asked to stay with Qingdeng forever, wasn't it for you?" The more Si Ke listened, the wider his eyes opened. This was really out of the question.

Rong Xuan shook his head, looking aggrieved, "His father, Prime Minister Lu, fell in love with Rong Heng, who was still the Crown Prince at the time, but Lu Xian'er liked Rong Jing, so she naturally didn't want to be with him. So, she cried, made a scene, and even threatened to hang herself at home, refusing to comply. Prime Minister Lu got furious and simply sent her back to her hometown. As for how this got me involved, I really don't know."

"Then what's the matter with this arranged marriage?" Si Ke listened more and more interested, and had long forgotten his original intention.

"Of course it was an agreement between her and Rong Heng. A rich lady, how could she have ever suffered the hardships of the countryside? Besides, Rong Heng had already gotten rid of Rong Jing the year he ascended the throne. She had no more desires and just hoped not to stay in the countryside and suffer anymore. Naturally, she would do whatever Rong Heng asked her to do. So, Rong Heng promised to give her a rich life, and his purpose was to keep me in the capital and unable to return to the northwest." Rong Xuan replied.

Is this really the whole story? Si Ke was a little confused.

When she came to her senses, Rong Xuan had already been lying next to her without her knowing when, and his slender fingers were still pulling at her clothes.

"You...you...what are you doing?" Si Ke slapped his hand away and gripped her collar tightly.

"What can I do? I just want to see your injuries? You hit me so hard that day, I'm worried. Let me see." Rong Xuan didn't give up and continued to dig.

"What are you looking at? Get out now, right now! Or I'll call someone." Can you believe what the man says? Do you think she is stupid?

Rong Xuan smiled and wanted to say that no one would come in even if you screamed at the top of your lungs, but then he thought that this was too shameless.

"So, we are now at peace. Do you agree to return to the palace with me?"

"But you said you would only marry me in this life. If you dare to have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines, then I will..."

"No matter what you want to do, I won't give you this chance." Rong Xuan declared domineeringly, and then kissed her on the lips.

However, the expected sweetness did not come. Si Ke seemed to have suddenly thought of something and sat up straight. "Oh, by the way, where is my cousin? What did you do with him?"

"There's been too little time in the martial arts world lately, so I asked someone to find something for him to do." Rong Xuan answered as if it was a matter of course. Wasn't he so bored that he dared to come and covet his woman?

I see! It's okay, as long as you don't kill him.

Jiang Yuxin: Cousin, something happened. My family heirloom was stolen.

……

The next day, Si Ke urged Rong Xuan to return to the capital. Rong Xuan meant to let her recuperate for a few more days. However, Si Ke knew that he had just ascended the throne and his foundation was unstable. If he was away for too long at this time, it would be easy for others to take advantage of him.

Rong Xuan thought that Si Ke's injury was in her arm, and there was no way he could stop her from pestering him, so he had to set off.

However, what Si Ke didn't know was that Rong Xuan had already ordered the Ministry of Rites to start preparing for the queen's coronation ceremony just before getting on the carriage.

Two months later, the emperor and empress got married.

As for Si Ke, she changed her name to Si Keke. Rong Xuan gave her the identity of the youngest daughter of the Si family, and the twin sister of the previous Si Concubine. Because she was born weak and sickly, she was sent to the southwest to recuperate, so few people knew that the Si family had a daughter.

During this period, Chu Yunli, the great doctor, has been treating him, so his health has improved a lot.

This explains why she looks like the previous Concubine Si.

As for the Si family, they made great contributions in this reward and punishment, so they were naturally appreciated by Rong Xuan.

However, Si Zhenting directly declined Rong Xuan's proposal to become an official, and only accepted the title of imperial merchant. This way, both the Si family and Rong Xuan would benefit. Too much greed will only lead to a quicker death.

What Sike didn't expect was that when Concubine Wei was captured, Rong Xuan did not execute her, but kept her in the Sky Prison, waiting for her to come back and deal with her.

This person has been giving Rong Heng advice and plotting behind the scenes. He is even more vicious than Rong Heng.

Si Ke went to see her once. After she had been tortured in many ways, she was almost exhausted, so he put her to death.

And for the next few decades, Rong Xuan did exactly what he said. No one was left in the harem. No matter how many ministers impeached him or begged him, he never relented.

The couple had no children, so Rong Xuan chose a gifted child from his clan to adopt and taught him with great care. When the child turned sixteen, Rong Xuan passed the throne directly to him.

After that, no one saw Rong Xuan and Si Ke again. Some said they had gone into seclusion in the mountains, while others said they had become immortals!
