Chapter 935: The Young Empress (72)

"Grand Chief Eunuch, send all the secret memorials from the various regions to Prince Yue. She sets out tomorrow, so she can read them slowly along the way."

The Grand Chief Eunuch's lips twitched before she hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty. This servant will attend to it immediately."

Recalling the entire basketful of secret memorials, she silently observed a moment of mourning for Prince Yue.

She truly couldn't tell whether Her Majesty valued Prince Yue highly or was deliberately tormenting her.

Such matters were anything but simple to handle.

Without three to five years, it would be impossible to sort everything out.

Tang Nuoyue returned to her residence in an excellent mood. Her Prince Consort, Shan Ge, immediately stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, did Her Majesty give any instructions?"

Seeing that Tang Nuoyue was unharmed, Shan Ge secretly relaxed. They were now on the same side, and nothing could happen to her.

"Her Majesty has entrusted this prince with an important task. I can tell this is both Her Majesty's recognition and consideration for me. Therefore, I must carry it out flawlessly."

Joy appeared on Shan Ge's face as well.

He was actually rather clever and didn't ask what the task was. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Will Your Highness be leaving the capital?"

"Mm, I'll be leaving. I probably won't return for quite some time."

Remembering the restless Xiao Jin still residing in her estate, Tang Nuoyue narrowed her eyes and beckoned Shan Ge closer. As he bent down before her, she whispered softly,

"After I leave, you'll be in charge of the residence. If there are any troublesome things that refuse to behave, deal with them however you wish. As long as no one dies, everything else is up to you."

"And if you truly can't handle something, go see the Imperial Consort."

Tang Nuoyue had come to understand one thing.

Ever since losing her memories, her little sister the Empress doted only upon the Imperial Consort.

In fact, at the beginning, she had even wondered whether her little sister had been replaced by some transmigrator.

But after seeing her several times, the feeling she gave was still the same as before.

Strangely enough, the only people she had forgotten were all the men of the harem except the Imperial Consort.

Tang Nuoyue didn't dwell on it.

As long as her little sister hadn't been replaced and was now entrusting her with important responsibilities, she had to perform well.

Being a useful prince was better than being an idle one.

Her little sister had tolerated the previous incident, which proved she wasn't a petty ruler. As long as she remained respectful, her life should be quite comfortable.

Hearing Tang Nuoyue's words, Shan Ge felt reassured.

It seemed the Prince truly treated him sincerely. She had even said such things, and the troublesome person she referred to was probably Xiao Jin.

Thinking back to something he had accidentally witnessed before, Shan Ge said, "Your Highness, I discovered that Xiao Jin secretly left the residence before. He knows martial arts, so it was difficult to send people after him. I have no idea where he went."

"You don't need to worry about things outside the residence. Our Empress is formidable. If anything unusual happens and you can't deal with it, simply enter the palace and report it to the Imperial Consort, understand?"

"I'll leave some people behind to protect you. Whatever you want to do, do it boldly."

Naturally, Tang Nuoyue disliked Xiao Jin.

His identity was complicated, and he was capable. Yet she couldn't simply kill him.

As for Shan Ge, he knew his place.

She could easily grant him authority and let him deal with Xiao Jin.

It was indeed using him, but she could reward Shan Ge with honor and prosperity for the rest of his life.

He was a clever man. He knew which choice to make and wouldn't mind.

Sure enough, Shan Ge's face was filled only with delight as he quickly assured her that he understood.

The next day, Tang Nuoyue quietly left the imperial capital in an unadorned carriage.

"Fuck!!"

"Why do I have this feeling that I've been tricked?!"
