In 1657, the Mughal dynasty of India conquered two small countries and unified the southern part of India. The gems thus flowed into the Mughal Palace. However, a coup d'état occurred in the Mughal dynasty, and the gems disappeared mysteriously in the chaos. Although the French traveler and gemologist Tawania described a high-quality clean water diamond with a 280-carat and rose-rose type in the Mughal Palace in 1665, it is considered to be "Mughal Emperor Diamond". That is just a replacement for the former. The real "Mughal Emperor Diamond" was looted to Afghanistan during the eight invasions of India by the Aurora of the Afghan dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, the Qianlong Dynasty suppressed the Junggar rebellion in 1760 and the Megatron in southern Xinjiang. Afghanistan also served to the Qing court, and in 1760 and 1762 two missions sent tribute to the Qing court. "Mughal Emperor Diamond" flowed into the Qing court as a tribute and passed on to the generation of Cixi.
