Eunuch Qin took the jade pendant, wrapped it carefully in silk handkerchief, and placed it back in the brocaded box: "Of course, such a treasure is seldom worn by the Empress Dowager. Allowing us servants to stash it away in a hidden compartment where it must be dusted every day."
If it were not for a gift from Princess Ning An, the Empress Dowager would certainly give the chilly jade to Xiao Xiuzhuan without hesitation.
What Eunuch Qin did not know was that Xiao Liulang once had a piece of thousand-year-old chilly jade, given to him by his mother, Princess Xinyang.
However, he was no longer Xiao Hen, and that piece of chilly jade was no longer in his possession.
Hence, it could be confirmed that this incomplete jade pendant did not originate from Renshou Palace. Yet, how it got into Gu Jiao's sachet still required questioning to Feicui, the palace maid.
