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

Several people stared wide-eyed as he removed his waist token. The chief eunuch sighed with a complicated expression as he looked at the token on the ground. Finally, seeing that the message had been delivered, he bowed and went back to report.

Zhao Bai and Le Yuangang were about to pick up the waist token when they tried to dissuade the Crown Prince from acting impulsively.

Before he could even lift his foot, he was stopped by a look from Yuan Huan.

The next moment, he stepped forward, squatted down, and picked up the waist tag without changing his expression.

He looked as if the person who had just said "I quit" wasn't him, but someone else.

Yuan Huan wiped the waist token and hung it back on his waist. Then he said to them in a deep voice, "Keep a close eye on him. If anyone gets into the young emperor's bed, you two get out of here."

Le Yuan shrank back and muttered, "Young Master, didn't you say..."

Didn't you say you were quitting?

Didn't I say I wouldn't do something so shameful?

Words spoken in the heat of the moment can be easily undone.

Yuan Huan smiled coldly, then gritted his teeth and said, "The little emperor wants me to get out... dream on!"

After the door was slammed shut, the two people standing in the courtyard looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zhao Bai shook his head and said knowingly, "I knew it, this is the prince."

Despite his sullenness, the prince would never give up what he wanted, even if a knife was held to his throat.

……

In the days that followed, Jiang Xiyu truly never saw Yuan Huan in front of the emperor again.

The guards in front of the emperor were changed from Yuan Huan to Zhao Bai and Le Yuan.

They watched as wave after wave of people came and went from His Majesty's palace, a scene of revelry that lasted almost day and night. The Crown Prince, on the other hand, seemed determined to prove them wrong, occasionally stopping to linger as he passed by.

Sometimes when His Majesty went out for a walk, the two would pass each other.

His Majesty didn't even glance at the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince only gave him a fleeting look before looking away.

The masters' low morale affected the innocent bystanders, making them, as subordinates, live in constant fear.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the palace became even more solemn than during the last Cold War.

Finally, one day, when Zhao Bai and Le Yuan were on duty in front of the emperor, they saw their heir enter.

They couldn't help but feel somewhat pleased, thinking that the Crown Prince had come to his senses and was coming to seek peace with His Majesty.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Huan stood outside the palace gate as if nothing had happened, without saying a word, and looked very proper.

Unfortunately, it was at this time that Li Qingluan came to see him.

She stood outside the palace, asking a eunuch to go in and announce her arrival. When she caught a glimpse of the people guarding the palace, she felt a little intimidated.

She had sensed long ago that this Prince Yuan seemed to dislike her exceptionally, so she usually chose to come when he was not around.

I don't know what happened today. The eunuchs said that the young master hadn't appeared before the emperor for several days, but as soon as she arrived, this devil was here again.

Li Qingluan couldn't help but feel a bit unlucky.

Even though the other person wasn't looking at her, she still felt a chill down her spine.

But none of these fears could outweigh the anxiety in her heart.

His Majesty has not summoned her these past few days, but has frequently summoned other beauties. If she doesn't take the initiative soon, she may really miss her chance.

The atmosphere was subtly heavy.

Le Yuan watched the scene and secretly glanced at his own son.

Yuan Huan's gaze was enigmatic, neither smiling nor frowning, and it was impossible to tell where his eyes were fixed.

At this moment, the eunuch received the order and came out to summon Li Qingluan into the palace.

Fortunately, the audience took place in the main hall, and those guarding outside could see the scene inside by simply peeking out.

Unlike the Crown Prince's increasingly gloomy expression, His Majesty's complexion appeared to be getting better and better.

Li Qingluan, with her graceful figure, stood elegantly in the hall, bowing respectfully.

When that soft, gentle voice called out to Your Majesty, probably no man in the world could resist it.

Sure enough, His Majesty smiled after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, may I dance for you?"

Jiang Xiyu's eyebrows twitched slightly as if he had become interested, and the corners of his lips slowly curved up as he said, "Granted."

Li Qingluan's beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement.

Her pipa playing is excellent, but her dancing is even more exceptional.

In any case, she was determined to stay by His Majesty's side today.

Shortly after, singing and dancing began inside the hall.

Jiang Xiyu glanced at it casually for a while, then became somewhat lost in thought.

He kept giving Li Qingluan opportunities to make a move, but she didn't do anything.

Several days have passed and they still haven't made a move. Jiang Xiyu is starting to feel annoyed. If this continues, his patience will soon run out.

Jiang Xiyu leaned back lazily, but his gaze did not fall on her.

He glanced casually towards the outside of the hall, only to meet Yuan Huan's deep gaze.

Yuan Huan's gaze seemed to linger on him, and the sudden eye contact startled him for a moment, as if he hadn't expected Jiang Xiyu to look over.

After all this time, he hadn't even looked at him properly.

The moment of stunned silence was fleeting. Yuan Huan immediately turned his gaze away with a cold expression, his indifferent demeanor as if he wasn't the one who had been staring at Jiang Xiyu the whole time.

The figure standing at the palace gate shifted, took two steps back, letting the palace gate completely obscure him, and also trying to cover up something else.

Jiang Xiyu maintained his gaze for a while, then lowered his eyes slightly.

He watched Yuan Huan cautiously peeking, and for some reason, a strange feeling arose in his heart that was hard to describe.

His recent obedience is quite unlike him.

Jiang Xiyu rubbed his temples, suddenly feeling a little annoyed.

In this transaction, the two people's identities were a natural divide that could not be crossed, and Jiang Xiyu would not allow him to cross that line either.

For him, love cannot supersede self-interest, and sincerity can be used as a bargaining chip in calculations.

In fact, he could have simply let Yuan Huan wallow in depravity; it wouldn't have done him any harm...

But he still spoke up that day.

He told Yuan Huan not to overstep his bounds, ultimately so that the deal could be made more straightforward.

He had his own concerns.

He both used Yuan Huan and suspected him.

These things are intertwined.

If he were to seize power and commit murder in the future, and if the person he were to kill was Yuan Huan…

Jiang Xiyu frowned, her mood for acting vanishing instantly.

He thought, maybe we should just let it go.

After Li Qingluan finished her dance, the chief eunuch noticed that His Majesty was still lost in thought, so he stepped forward and reminded him, "Your Majesty?"

Jiang Xiyu paused for a moment, then pulled himself out of his thoughts and followed the eunuch's gaze to Li Qingluan, who was slightly out of breath. He softly praised her, "You danced well."

Such perfunctory attitude is obvious to anyone.

Li Qingluan's smile froze for a moment, then she smiled even more brightly to cover up her embarrassment.

Jiang Xiyu hesitated for a moment, realizing that his attitude was inappropriate, so he gave her a chance and asked, "What reward does the beauty wish for?"

Li Qingluan was just wondering how to ask him to stay when she heard this, and her face lit up with joy. She said softly, "I don't want any reward. I just want to serve Your Majesty well."

As she spoke, a hint of shyness appeared on her face.

Jiang Xiyu smiled slightly, glancing at the chief eunuch with a completely indifferent look in his eyes.

The chief eunuch understood and led Li Qingluan into the inner hall, ostensibly to change clothes, but in reality, he granted her permission to serve him.

Once the hall was quiet, Jiang Xiyu raised his hand to dismiss the crowd.

After the chief eunuch came out, Jiang Xiyu stared at the outside of the hall for a while before gesturing for him to help her out.

To be honest, Yuan Huan's words that day really displeased him.

But the anger had long since dissipated, yet Yuan Huan still seemed unwilling to back down.

Jiang Xiyu pondered for a moment, then decided to go out and take a look.

If Yuan Huan is willing to back down, he will naturally be willing to give him a way out.

Now, standing outside, seeing that he doesn't show any reaction to Li Qingluan, it seems he has learned to restrain himself.

The two of them should talk, after all, Jiang Xiyu does have something to ask him to do.

But as soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Yuan Huan turned around and left indifferently.

So, the way Jiang Xiyu wanted to give him was ultimately not offered.
