Duke Ping thought to himself, this girl surely wouldn't truly want him to go to the palace to request things for her; once it was in the Emperor's hands, getting it back would be nearly impossible.
Su Juan shook her head, "Your Majesty said it was an affectionate token between him and the Empress, and now it has returned to its rightful owner."
With the mention of an affectionate token, everything became clear.
"It seems you've already found out." Duke Ping released the teacup, placing it back on the table. He intended to pick a day to tell her, but he hadn't anticipated Liu Ze would act even quicker.
Now, Su Juan had learned first.
Su Juan nodded slightly, "Yes, I know."
[You and Xie Xun were so obvious, coupled with the Empress's changes, if I couldn't guess it, I'd truly be a fool.]
Looking at each other, Duke Ping laughed, "In terms of generations, you ought to call me grand-uncle."
