When Concubine Tao Xian received the invitation from the Yeting Bureau, she was stunned for a moment.
She quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be there right now."
The guards from the Yeting Bureau came to report that Aunt Dao Yueyuan was dying and came here to ask if she needed to see her for the last time.
When did the Yeting Bureau become so easy to talk to?
Concubine Tao Xian was not stupid, and she immediately realized that this was what Emperor Yongning meant.
Not really to ask her, but to tell her she had to go.
She didn't resist. It just so happened that she also wanted to see the full moon.
It was a warm day, but the moment Concubine Tao Xian stepped into the Yeting Bureau, she still felt a chill on her back.
Although Yeting Bureau is not a prison, it gives people a cold and terrifying feeling.
I don’t know how many people in the harem lost their lives here.
Even though the ground had been washed clean, she still felt a faint smell of blood.
Mixed with the rotten smell accumulated over time, it made her almost nauseous.
Tao Xianfei paused, resisting the urge to turn around and leave.
"Lead the way for me."
She didn't know which room Yueyuan was locked in, but she thought she might not be able to get better in a place like Yeting Bureau.
Even though she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked when she saw the full moon.
Yue Yuan's body was stained with blood, her hair was disheveled, and her head was lowered and motionless.
If her hands hadn't moved occasionally, she would have looked like a dead person.
Concubine Tao Xian stared at her, feeling speechless for a moment.
The aunt she trusted and relied on the most in the past was determined to kill her and the family behind her.
She should have hated such a person so much that she wanted to die, but now that she saw him like this, the hatred could not arise.
As if aware of her arrival, Aunt Yueyuan, who had her head lowered, moved.
"Mother...Mother, are you...here?"
Aunt Yueyuan was so angry that it was no longer possible for her to look up at Concubine Tao Xian.
"Um."
Concubine Tao Xian replied lightly and then said nothing again.
Before entering the Yeting Bureau, she had countless doubts. She wanted to ask why Yue Yuan betrayed her, and wanted to ask if she was not good enough for Yue Yuan...
But when she saw the full moon, she felt there was no need to ask.
What are you asking for?
Yueyuan chose to do those things. No matter what the other party's difficulties or reasons were, it was a real betrayal.
She, Tao Shu, is good at employing people, and she will be unfaithful a hundred times!
She looked around and asked the guard: "What did she confess?"
She knew that the emperor asked her to come to Ye Ting Bureau to pry Yueyuan's mouth open.
But her interest was waning and she asked perfunctorily.
"Back to Concubine Xian, there is nothing to be done."
Concubine Tao Xian understood: I'm afraid it's not that I didn't recruit, but that the Tao family was recruited, and the emperor didn't believe it.
She didn't think her arrival would make Yue Yuan confess anything.
Yue Yuan is the one who truly hates her to death and will only bite the Tao family.
The emperor must be disappointed.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Yueyuan, who had barely breathed, continued to speak: "Mother, do you...do you remember De'an and...He Rui...Ruixi?"
Her voice was very thin and unclear, and she couldn't hear it even if she stood a little further away.
However, Concubine Tao Xian was standing not far away, and her ears were very good.
She heard those two names!
At that moment, indescribable emotions emerged in Concubine Tao Xian's eyes, like a volcano erupting or a snow avalanche.
She seemed to be extremely sad, but also suddenly enlightened. Her face was distorted by the extreme emotional ups and downs.
She couldn't help but let out a "ha" and said to herself: "That's it, that's it!"
She took a step back and looked at the full moon up and down, her eyes getting sharper and sharper, almost poking a hole out of it.
"Yueyuan, you came to harm me for those two cheap maids? Ridiculous, so ridiculous!"
Maybe it was the word "mean maid" that stimulated the full moon, or maybe it was her flashback, but she was able to raise her head slightly, just enough to meet Concubine Tao Xian's eyes.
They both saw each other's eyes.
One side is full of hatred, the other side is ridiculous.
Concubine Tao Xian said unceremoniously: "What? Do you feel insulted? What are they if they are not cheap maids? I kindly let them enter Jiayi Palace, but they want to assassinate my prince!"
Yue Yuan stared straight at Concubine Tao Xian, not believing these words at all.
"It's already this time, why should I lie to you?" Concubine Tao Xian sneered, knowing very well what Yue Yuan was thinking.
She laughed again and said, "It's a waste of time that you have been with me for so many years. Don't you still know what kind of person I am?"
At this moment, Concubine Tao Xian really felt like she couldn't help but feel the bright moon shining on the ditch.
"The moon is full, you have been deceived by others and used as a raft to deal with me!"
After saying that, she turned around decisively.
At this moment, she didn't want to stay here any longer.
She was afraid that she would vomit, and she really couldn't hold it anymore.
She turned around so quickly that she naturally didn't see Yue Yuan behind her, her eyes widening and her heart torn apart.

The ambergris in Zichen Palace is always so fragrant, and it was Emperor Yongning's favorite.
He shrugged his nose slightly and looked at Zhu Yi with gentle eyes: "Go ahead."
"Your Majesty, I have checked and found out that the two people mentioned by Aunt Yue Yuan were the chambermaids and maids of Jiayi Palace. They were killed with a stick five years ago for murdering His Highness the Tenth Prince."
Zhu Yi's face was still not revealed, and his figure was half in the light and half in the dark, making him look more mysterious and unpredictable.
"five years ago?"
That was before and after he ascended the throne. During that time, too many people died in the palace, including these two people?
Zhu Yi's clear and childish voice spoke: "I went to check. The Yeting Bureau found out that those two people used massage techniques to almost prevent His Royal Highness from growing physically, so they were killed with a cane."
The crime of murdering the emperor's heir cannot be punished.
After hearing what Zhu Yi said, Emperor Yongning had a vague impression.
He vaguely remembered that Concubine Xian cried several times in front of him while holding the Tenth Emperor's son, worrying about the sequelae that the Tenth Emperor's son would have.
Fortunately, five years have passed and everything is normal for the Tenth Emperor.
It turned out that it was such an old thing.
"Aunt Yueyuan and those two people are from the same hometown, and they support each other a lot. Aunt Yueyuan has always believed that Concubine Tao Xian killed people at will, so she deliberately planned to use Concubine Xian's trust to set up this trap."
"She admitted that she bought the medicine pack from outside the palace and used the Tao family's secret information, but Concubine Xian did not know about it."
Before Concubine Tao Xian went to Yeting Bureau, Zhu Yi was there and knew the situation very well.
After Concubine Tao Xian left, he interrogated Aunt Yueyuan again.
This time, she tried everything.
"She admitted that the Tao family's hidden clues were written on purpose. She died when she was about to talk about other hidden clues."
Zhu Yi's tone was calm. Indeed, the death of a palace maid was not worth mentioning to a person like him.
However, after she died, other hidden clues became a mystery.
Did she discover it? There is no way to verify it.
