Xun Zu and Qiu Zhi broke into a cold sweat, the fingertips beneath their sleeves trembling slightly.
The Little Emperor was also startled, but he managed to compose himself. Pearls and gold, after all, though privately gifting them wasn't proper, surely the Great General wouldn't mind too much?
The Little Emperor directly took out the cloth bag. Opening it, he reached inside, and upon touching the sheath, his face changed.
Xun Zu could not stop him in time and watched as the Little Emperor's face turned pale without any disguise.
Zhao Hanzhang narrowed her eyes, immediately realizing that the Little Emperor seemed unaware of what was inside the bag.
She extended her hand.
The Little Emperor hesitated for a moment with the bag, but eventually placed it in Zhao Hanzhang's hand.
