Chapter 48: Five Poison Round Fan
After Jiang Heqing finished speaking, he had someone present the items.
The incense bags and silk threads looked like typical palace crafts, nothing unusual about them, but the Five Poison Round Fan was different.
The black silk was embroidered with the five poisons: scorpion, gecko, toad, centipede, and snake.
The bamboo handle was icy to the touch, a rare and exquisite item.
However, it wasn’t something meant for someone of her rank.
Lin Wanyi gave a slight smile, picked up the black silk round fan, and spoke.
"Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for your gift. This humble servant is delighted."
She then glanced at Qiu Ming, who stepped forward and said.
"The Imperial Consort has such a thoughtful mind. This Five Poison Round Fan looks like the one that was tributed from Xuzhou last year. I remember when the Emperor saw it, he praised its luxurious design and gave it to the Imperial Concubine. I didn’t expect to see it again now."
"Oh? Such an opportunity indeed."
Lin Wanyi appeared shocked and hurriedly said.
"If it truly is a gift from Your Majesty, then I dare not accept it. Please, Eunuch Jiang, take it back."
