Quick Wear: The Crazy Boss Only Loves the Cold Host

After Jiang Qing returned to the palace, she asked someone to arrange a bathhouse for her to take a bath, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

On her way back, she thought to herself that Chunlan would probably be back with her tomorrow, so she was naturally in a very good mood.

In fact, Chu Yan is a very easy to understand person. He himself was bullied growing up, and he was able to develop the ability to strategize and control the overall situation in adversity. He is definitely not an ordinary person. But also because of his childhood experience, he would never bully an unarmed person who has not done any major faults.

Everyone knows Jiang Qing's personality. She was brought up simple and spoiled.

She only needed to show a little weakness at the right time, and no matter how much Chu Yan hated her, he would agree to her small request.

Her venomous and harsh words were nothing but a display of self-protection due to her low status as a prisoner.

After she came out of the bath, Jiang Qing ordered her maid to light incense for her.

"I want to have a good sleep tonight."

As she lay on the bed, she felt that the Qingle Palace that the foolish Emperor Jiang Ling had carefully built for Jiang Qing was even more pleasing to the eye.

At 11 p.m. at night, the entire palace was silent. Chu Yan stood in the palace wearing a thick robe.

"Regent, the clean water you requested."

A palace maid brought a bowl of clear water. Chu Yan reached out to take it, then wet his fingers and gently sprinkled it on an unopened Epiphyllum in front of him, then handed it back to the maid.

But after a while, the snow-white petals slowly unfolded, appearing bright and light under the moonlight, gradually revealing the layers of pale yellow stamens, exuding a light fragrance.

Chu Yan stared at the blooming Epiphyllum infatuatedly, but suddenly recalled the sweet fragrance he smelled on Jiang Qing in the evening, which was almost exactly the same as the smell lingering around him at this moment.

The hand with distinct bones and muscles subconsciously clenched into a fist, and then slowly loosened.

"What on earth are you..."

Chu Yan appeared again in the room where Jiang Qing was sleeping, and this time, he just stood beside the bed and looked at Jiang Qing's face carefully, as if he was looking at another person through Jiang Qing.

When he came to his senses, he had already reached out and touched Jiang Qing's cheek.

It seemed that because of the rough calluses on her fingertips, Jiang Qing felt itchy when she touched it lightly, but she did not wake up from her deep sleep. She just raised her hand to pat away the thing on her face that made her feel uncomfortable, mumbling: "Mo Yan... stop it..."

Because the voice was so soft and unclear, Chu Yan could only hear the last three words she said, which made his already unintentional movement of approaching him even more stiff.

For a moment, a strong murderous intent brewed in Chu Yan's heart again, but he quickly suppressed it. He quickly withdrew his hand and left here as if he was running away.

The next day, Jiang Qing had just woken up and dressed when she saw Chun Lan walking into the room with tears in her eyes and kneeling on the ground, "Princess, I will never forget your kindness!"

Jiang Qing hurriedly helped her up and looked at her carefully. Chun Lan used to be the princess's personal maid, with a face as bright as a full moon and a radiant spirit. But now, she has been demoted to the laundry department and is bullied by other palace servants every day. She has lost a lot of weight and has some scars on her body from being bullied.

"Haru Lan suffered."

"Princess, Chunlan is not suffering. Seeing that the princess is now imprisoned in this palace, Chunlan feels for the princess."

Hearing this, Jiang Qing couldn't help but sigh. She gently wiped away the tears from Chun Lan's eyes, "It doesn't matter." She smiled, "From now on, you and I will depend on each other."

The mission in this world is neither simple nor difficult, but Jiang Qing doesn't think it is difficult either. After reading the original world line, she planned to take Chun Lan away from the palace. In this way, the mission would be completed, and Chun Lan would have a different ending.

In the original world line, on the eve of Jiang Qing being ordered to be killed, Chun Lan had already been tortured to the point of being emaciated in the laundry department, but she still disobeyed the order and ran to the outside of Chu Yan's palace, kneeling for a long time, begging the regent to spare her life.

In the end, her kneeling and request did not even reach Chu Yan's ears, and she was captured and dealt with by the guards outside the palace.

A silly, naive, and loyal little girl.

After Chun Lan returned to Jiang Qing, her quality of life improved significantly. Originally, the people in Qingle Palace were basically palace servants arranged by Chu Yan to monitor her movements. Now that she has a confidant by her side, it becomes much easier for her to do things for her.

Afterwards, she went to visit Empress Dowager Shu, but she didn't expect that Chu Ziang also came to the Empress Dowager's palace to pay his respects today.

This was the first time Jiang Qing and Chu Ziang met face to face.

Although Chu Ziang is now the emperor, he is still a child at heart. He does not understand how embarrassing Jiang Qing's identity as a princess of the previous dynasty is, nor does he understand that there is actually a blood feud between him and Jiang Qing. Under the training of Empress Dowager Shu, he would secretly find opportunities to call her Sister Changning.

Jiang Qing maintained her character and her frequent cold faces towards Chu Ziang could not dampen his enthusiasm, so she had to find another excuse to return to the palace. Children are really difficult to deal with.

Today, Chu Yan felt a headache while handling official business in the imperial study. He did not sleep well last night, and Jiang Qing appeared in his dreams from time to time.

At this point, he really wanted to stab Jiang Qing's throat with a sword without hesitation, but as soon as he visualized that scene, it was as if there were a pair of hands tightly grasping his heart, making him abandon this idea.

"Ouyang has met the Regent."

Ouyang Yu, the third national teacher of Zhaixing Pavilion.

The Zhaixing Pavilion has always been in charge of astronomy, the astrology and the worship of ancestors of heaven and earth. It is rumored that the national master has only changed three generations since Emperor Jiang An unified the country. Each generation is the only talent selected by the previous national master through divination and then cultivated with all his efforts.

They are mysterious and long-lived, possessing some unspeakable extraordinary powers, so all emperors respect them very much. Although the Zhaixing Pavilion itself has no actual power, it is highly valued. Those who fight for imperial power will subconsciously avoid the Zhaixing Pavilion.

"Please stand up, Imperial Master."

Chu Yan stood up, took Ouyang Yu into the inner room, sat him down, and made him a cup of tea.

"Thank you, Lord Regent. Why did Lord Regent invite Ouyang here?"

Chu Yan didn't respond. He picked up his teacup and took a sip with an indifferent expression.

Seeing this, Ouyang Yu quickly took a sip of the tea that Chu Yan poured for him.

"The Imperial Master observes the stars every night. Has there been any change?"

"Reporting to the Regent, no unusual signs have been detected so far."

"Then, Imperial Master, have you ever heard of soul swapping?"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yu looked at Chu Yan in shock.

"I wonder...what does the soul exchange that the Regent mentioned mean?"

"The person seems to have changed, but the original memory is still there."

Ouyang Yu said, "Hmm... The Regent described it this way. It is possible that something unexpected happened to that person, causing his personality to change drastically. It is not necessarily a soul change."

Chu Yan shook his head. "I've observed that his personality hasn't changed, but there are many new little actions that have never appeared before. It's like a different person is playing the original person."

"If that is the case, I hope the Regent will bring that person to me. If there is a difference between the soul and the body, I can tell from his face."

Chu Yan got the information he wanted, and asked about some daily affairs of Zhaixing Pavilion before waving his hand and letting Ouyang Yu leave.

After a while, he took out a sachet from his arms. The refreshing scent of Epiphyllum permeated his nostrils, making his aching head feel much clearer.

Epiphyllum is not easy to obtain, and there are very few people in the world who can use it to make sachets. He thought of Jiang Qing again.

Is that her original scent, or is it the same scent that comes from being made into a sachet like his?
