Ye Chutang's eyes brightened. "In that case—"
As she spoke, she glanced back at Emperor Muwu.
Emperor Muwu waved his hand. "Since that item is so important to you, it's best you go take a look."
Ye Chutang curtsied. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Li led Ye Chutang to Yaohua Palace once again.
In just a single day, the place had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.
The heavy guard had been withdrawn, leaving only two palace servants on watch. The palace seemed utterly cold and desolate.
Ye Chutang glanced toward the half-open main gate. Inside, it was completely empty.
"Second Miss Ye, the items are all here."
Eunuch Li had someone bring over a wooden chest, but he did not lead Ye Chutang inside.
He stepped forward and opened the chest, revealing a dazzling array of jewels and accessories.
