Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

The next day, a reply arrived at Fengqi Palace. The four simple words left the Empress Dowager deeply moved.

She was both shocked and furious, and eventually tore up the secret letter.

Hua Qinghou, who was standing nearby, naturally noticed those words. After offering some words of comfort, he could only remind her to make plans as soon as possible.

The reason why Beiyuan entered the game was to maintain order and stability. However, now that the crown prince of Beiyuan has become involved with His Majesty, once he turns against him, no matter how much control the court has, it will be useless. After all, military power is the most important thing.

The Empress Dowager did not want to go to that final step, so after pondering for a long time, she said, "Let's wait for news from Qingluan."

Hua Qing knew her concerns and simply said, "This servant has already made all the arrangements."

Actually, there's no need to wait any longer. After all, the affair between His Majesty and the Crown Prince of Beiyuan has already been established. According to the secret letter, His Majesty is now obsessed with men every day, so how could Miss Qingluan possibly get involved?

"However, the Empress Dowager was furious when the servant bluntly stated that the longer this matter was delayed, the more trouble it would cause in the future."

Although we don't know the nature of the relationship between His Majesty and the Crown Prince, it seems that it hasn't been long since they started dating. It would be much easier to act while their feelings are still developing. If they wait too long and many things change, it will be too late to make a move.

The Empress Dowager's phoenix eyes darkened slightly, and her heart began to waver.

She had waited far too long for the curtain behind the throne to be removed.

From a concubine's daughter to where she is today, she has taken every step with care and sacrificed a great deal.

Years ago, her elder sister entered the palace and was favored, while she was just the lowest-ranking concubine. In the palace, if you are not favored, you are vulnerable to everyone. In order to survive, she fought and struggled in this treacherous court, eventually defeating her elder sister and all the women in the harem, and becoming the empress who ruled the world.

She lived for her family in the first half of her life, but in the second half, the late emperor gained a new favorite and treated her coldly. She could only rely on herself to fight for and protect this hard-won position. In the end, only the emperor and Ronghua remained of the royal bloodline.

At that time, the emperor was young, and she finally used this child to begin her path to ruling from behind the curtain.

She touched upon an unprecedented level of power, becoming the only woman in the world qualified to dictate the fate of the nation.

Power is an obsession, and with such ambition, she was truly unwilling to be subservient to others.

If she's going to fight, she'll fight to the very top.

"hold on."

The Empress Dowager turned to look at the Phoenix Throne, turning her prayer beads and smiling disdainfully.

She uttered a prayer of Amitabha, but her words carried a chilling, murderous intent: "This council hall truly needs a change of scenery."

"As for the soiled ground, I will make them wash it with their blood."

……

Yuan Huan sat outside the bedchamber all night, and when the maids came with washing utensils, he guessed that the door should be open, so he moved his stiff limbs and stood up.

The maids served the emperor year-round, so they were naturally very knowledgeable about what happened there, including the recent rumors about His Majesty's favoritism towards the Crown Prince of Kitahara, which they had witnessed firsthand.

After all, since His Majesty returned from the hunting grounds, this prince has often stayed by His Majesty's side. Sometimes when they wake up during their night watch, they can accidentally glance at the bed and see the fierce eagle embracing His Majesty in its wings.

Therefore, when they got up the next morning, they not only had to prepare His Majesty's toiletries, but also those for the Crown Prince, as this was the first time in recent times they had seen the Crown Prince outside the palace.

The maids dared not look too long. Some of the maids who were closer to Yuan Huan did not even dare to lift their heads. They were so overwhelmed by his shadow that their legs were trembling.

Before long, the door to the bedchamber was suddenly pushed open from the inside, and the chief eunuch came out. He was taken aback when he saw Yuan Huan standing expressionless to the side. Then he looked away and whispered to the maids, "His Majesty has not yet woken up. Please wait in the outer room."

After saying this, he nodded to Yuan Huan, took a few steps back, and was about to close the palace door again.

Yuan Huan stopped him, asking with an unreadable expression, "His Majesty is still not awake?"

According to the young emperor's habits, he should have woken up by now.

Could it be that you really didn't sleep well last night?

The thought of this possibility filled Yuan Huan with overwhelming guilt.

The chief eunuch replied in a low voice, "His Majesty is a heavy sleeper and does not wish to get up yet."

Anyway, since His Majesty doesn't have to hold morning court sessions now that he's in the imperial palace, it's good for him to sleep in a little longer.

Yuan Huan looked anxious; he wanted to see Jiang Xiyu, so he said, "I'll go in and see him."

The chief eunuch stood in front of him with some difficulty and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty said that no one is allowed to go in and disturb him."

Yuan Huan stopped in his tracks, seemingly taken aback.

“If the young master goes in now, he will surely displease the emperor. Why not wait until His Majesty wakes up before he goes to request an audience?” the chief eunuch advised.

Although he did not know what had happened between His Majesty and the Crown Prince, it was clear that His Majesty meant that he did not want to see the Crown Prince at the moment.

Yuan Huan glanced into the hall and understood the meaning behind the words. Fearing that going in rashly would offend someone, he hesitated for a long time before saying to the chief eunuch, "Then I will come back later."

After seeing the people off, the chief eunuch sighed and re-entered the hall.

The incense in the hall had faded considerably, and the stoves used for heating had lost their warmth.

The gauze curtains hanging by the couch had not yet been lifted, and only a section of porcelain-white arm could be seen casually draped down from the gap in the middle.

The chief eunuch walked over and knelt down, intending to place His Majesty's hand back on the bedding, but unexpectedly, he was immediately chilled to the touch.

Jiang Xiyu curled her fingertips slightly, and after a moment, she opened her eyes slightly.

The head eunuch reported through the gauze curtain: "When I went out, the young master was still there. He must have been keeping watch outside the palace all night."

"However, I have already spoken to the Crown Prince as His Majesty instructed, and the Crown Prince said he would come later."

Jiang Xiyu turned his head slightly, his voice a little hoarse: "I don't want to see him these next few days. Don't let him in, understand?"

"Yes," the head eunuch replied, carefully adjusting the bedding for him, and said, "This servant will go and order someone to bring more things to keep him warm."

Jiang Xiyu gave a listless "hmm" and then raised her arm to cover her eyes.

He went to bed rather late last night, and the bed just wouldn't warm up no matter what he did, so he decided to think about some things.

Undeniably, Yuan Huan's behavior yesterday did indeed displease him.

He asked Yuan Huan if he wanted to stay and keep him company, but Yuan Huan coldly refused.

Jiang Xiyu didn't like to force people. Although he didn't know what Yuan Huan was suddenly being difficult about, he was the emperor. No matter how much he needed Yuan Huan, he couldn't lower himself to ask a second time after being rejected.

As for why Yuan Huan acted this way, Jiang Xiyu was even less willing to delve into it.

While it's true that he initially wanted to conquer Yuan Huan, his primary motivation was the centralization of imperial power.

He wanted to get those things, and coincidentally, Yuan Huan had them. So, in order to obtain them, he could appropriately get involved, giving Yuan Huan some leniency and the intimacy he desired.

However, these special circumstances do not mean that their relationship can overstep boundaries.

Throughout history, emperors have been suspicious and ruthless.

Being in such a cold and chilling position, with so many eyes watching, no one could truly let down their guard and trust others.

In essence, Jiang Xiyu was also such an emperor; he was wary of Beiyuan, and he was equally wary of Yuan Huan.

Between the ruler and his ministers, power struggles and bloodshed abound.

If he wanted to take power and rule personally, then Yuan Huan would definitely be the best pawn in his hands, and also the best and most suitable weapon for him to intimidate the court.

Even though his homosexual acts violated the principles of ancestral temples and the state, and would be despised by the people, he would never regret it.

As long as the ending is what he wants, Jiang Xiyu doesn't care about the process at all.

As long as Yuan Huan is conquered, that's fine. It's best if they can work together for mutual benefit and have some desires.

Yuan Huan wanted it, and Jiang Xiyu gave it to him.

Then what he wants, the other party has to give him too.

Desire and power have always been inextricably intertwined.

The relationship that began with these two things destined Jiang Xiyu to never fully open his heart to Yuan Huan. There was a layer of paper between them that could not be broken, at least not now.

This was his last line of defense as an emperor.

For the next two weeks, Jiang Xiyu did not allow Yuan Huan to come to his bed. He spent most of his time in his palace, and even when Yuan Huan came over, he ignored him.

During these two weeks, Jiang Xiyu had trouble sleeping again.

Just then, Li Qingluan arrived at the perfect moment.
