Duke Xu shook his head and left.
On the other side, Yi Zilan had already rushed to the palace.
He had been holding the box in his hand. He was very careful and did not use anyone else’s hands.
After entering the palace, he did not dare to delay at all.
The emperor was in the imperial study. Half a day had passed since the Treasure Appraisal Conference. As the emperor, he naturally had many eyes and ears.
Soone had already told him everything that had happened at the eting. In fact, since an hour ago, the emperor could not wait for the royal prince to enter the palace.
He asked the eunuch beside him twice. He complained in his heart that Yi Zilan was dilly-dallying like a turtle. It was really annoying.
Now that he heard the eunuch’s report from outside, the emperor was instantly energized. He waved his hand and said, "Let him in."
When Yi Zilan entered, he saw that his young and handso emperor cousin seed to be in a good mood.
He imdiately bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"There’s no need for formalities. Why did Zilan enter the palace at this hour? Is there anything important?" Even though he knew about the Treasure Appraisal Conference, he still had to pretend.
Yi Zilan straightened up slightly and handed the box forward. "This is for Your Majesty. This box contains a rare thing called a magnifying glass. It’s rare in the world. It won the first prize at today’s appraisal conference."
"Oh?" The emperor had long been curious about what this magnifying glass looked like, so he did not stand on ceremony. "Bring it up for to take a look."
Eunuch Pang, who was beside him, imdiately took the box and placed it respectfully in front of the emperor’s desk.
The emperor glanced at Yi Zilan and opened the box. Then, he saw a magnifying glass embedded with a turtle shell.
He carefully took it out, grabbed a docunt at the side excitedly, and read the words written on it.
The next mont, his surprised voice sounded. "Wonderful, wonderful, this is really wonderful."
As he read, he said to Yi Zilan, "Tell how this magnifying glass ca about, who made it, and how it was made. Tell everything in detail."
Yi Zilan laughed dryly. He naturally could not tell the emperor that Gu Yundong had tricked Duke Xu and the others. He could lie to anyone but the emperor, right? He was a loyal person.
However, when he thought of what he had done, he still looked a little guilty.
He could not help but shrink his neck. He finally told the emperor in a low voice how he had made things difficult for Gu Yundong and made her sign the contract to prepare things. He also told the emperor what happened at the Treasure Appraisal Conference and how he had been forced to be friends with Shao Qingyuan.
The Emperor had already raised his head. He could not help but laugh when he heard this.
He pointed at him. "So, you were tricked by Shao Qingyuan’s wife?"
"That’s not it. I just didn’t want to argue with her."
The Emperor clicked his tongue. "A stubborn duck. In that case, this magnifying glass was indeed taken out by Gu Yundong? Then did you ask where it ca from?"
Yi Zilan was stunned. He did not ntion Gu Yundong’s na just now. Why was the emperor so familiar with Shao Qingyuan’s wife’s na?
However, he could not care less about his doubts and quickly answered the Emperor’s question. "She did bring it here. As for where it ca from..." He paused and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve. It was the one that Gu Yundong had given him previously. "It’s here."
