The emperor's Insignia Plaque appeared so unexpectedly that Li Xian was stunned.
His eyes fixed unwaveringly on the Insignia Plaque in Lin Yue'e's hand.
Others might not recognize it, but he knew it was genuine.
Why was Li Chen's Insignia Plaque in her hands?
Who was this woman?
Had someone discovered my movements? Was there a mole at my side?
