When their eyes met, Prince Wu waved his hand, the soldiers withdrew, and Zhao Moyan stepped into the East Palace. He walked step by step to the palace where Tian Yu had lived. Zhao Moyan stopped in front of the palace gate, and the little eunuch kneeling in front of the palace gate said tremblingly, "Are you the Marquis of Zhenbei?"
Zhao Moyan nodded at him, and the little eunuch quickly took out a neatly folded piece of cloth from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Moyan. Zhao Moyan reached out and picked it up, unfolding it layer by layer, revealing the bloodstains little by little.

Overwhelmed with grief, Zhao Moyan reached out one hand to hold onto a pillar covered with his name. He gently touched it, then clutched his chest with his other hand and suddenly coughed up blood. Prince Wu and the palace servants outside were startled and wanted to rush in to help him, but Zhao Moyan waved his hand and closed the palace gate, preventing them from entering.
