Consort of a Thousand Faces

g Tan Ge’s change, Chao Mu couldn’t help but ask Su Xi-er.
“I haven’t talked to Tan Ge for a few days.
She doesn’t seem to have recovered.
What exactly happened in the Tan Residence? I keep feeling that…”

She didn’t say the rest of the sentence. I can’t tell others that there’s something very wrong with Tan Ge.
She probably has a lot of secrets that are weighing down on her heart.

“Chao Mu, do your job properly.” Su Xi-er smiled at her before turning her gaze to Tan Ge.
After a brief glance, she turned away to continue working.

Chao Mu could only suppress her curiosity and continue sweeping.

Little did they know that an imperial guard from the Commandery Prince Residence had witnessed everything that had happened in the Imperial Garden.
He immediately went to report to Xie Yun, who was currently at the Dragon Heaven Palace.

Situ Lin was looking at Xie Yun in confusion while in the Dragon Heaven Palace.
“Commandery Prince Xie, this Emperor hasn’t seen Imperial Uncle these past few days.
Where did he go? It seems like he’s pretty busy.”

Xie Yun gently smiled.
“Prince Hao is indeed busy.
There are so many things that he has to deal with in the army barracks that he’ll only be back in time for tomorrow’s Winter Solstice banquet.”

“I see.
Are you not busy, Commandery Prince Xie? This Emperor will diligently learn the ways of governance.
You don’t have to supervise me every day.” Situ Lin wore an earnest expression as he began flipping through his books.

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty.
This humble subject won’t report to Prince Hao.”

Situ Lin looked towards Xie Yun.
“It’s fine even if you tell Imperial Uncle.
This Emperor hasn’t been playing excessively, so Imperial Uncle won’t chide this Emperor.”

He understood very well that the only reason he had been punished in the past was that he had done something wrong. Imperial Uncle wouldn’t just punish me if I didn’t make any mistakes.

Xie Yun faintly smiled.
“Have the supervisors of the Imperial Ceremony Office and the Imperial Household Department reported to you on the progress of the preparations for tomorrow’s banquet?”
