Zhulan emerged holding the box containing the Jade Pendant, while the Emperor and Zhou Shuren were locked in a gaze. She noticed the aversion in the Emperor's eyes, while Zhou Shuren's face remained expressionless, yet she could guess that Zhou Shuren was probably rolling his eyes inwardly!
With a smile in her eyes, Zhulan placed the box on the table, "Emperor, the Jade Pendant has been found."
During her speech, she opened the box, and the Jade Pendant lay inside.
The Emperor reached out and took the Jade Pendant, fell silent for a while, then pulled off his own Jade Pendant to compare it. He lifted his head, thought of Zhou Shuren's words, coughed once, and quietly stuffed his own Jade Pendant into his sleeve.
Eunuch Liu looked left and right, but deliberately avoided looking at the Emperor; yet he thought to himself how miraculous it was that, after such a long search, it turned out to be right under their noses all these years.
