However, he knelt before Liu Hong for so long, which shows a level of sincerity far greater than that of the other two princes.

It should be noted that the two princes had only been visiting for a short while when Empress He told Liu Bian to leave immediately.

Since Liu Hong fell ill, and He Jin received an imperial edict summoning all members of the imperial family to the capital, Empress He rarely visited him.

I heard that she even complained privately that she couldn't stand the smell of medicine!

Empress Dowager Dong kept urging Liu Hong to fulfill his promise.

This was because Liu Hong had once said that he would hand over the throne to Liu Xie.

Wang Chengen also knew that Liu Hong's life was nearing its end.

However, the way the two palaces treated Liu Hong made Wang Chengen feel very indignant on Liu Hong's behalf.

But what could a mere eunuch possibly do?

Seeing Liu Wei's actions now, even if it's an act, he's still better than the other two princes.

Wang Chengen then answered truthfully.

"Half an hour!"

Liu Hong exclaimed, "Quickly help me up! I want to take a closer look at my son who recovered the Hetao region, drove out the Xiongnu, and defeated the Xianbei!"

Wang Chengen stepped forward to help Liu Hong up: "Your Majesty, please drink your medicine first!"

At this moment, Liu Wei had already stood up and taken the medicine from another eunuch's tray.

"Father, please allow me to serve you your medicine!"

"Granted!"

Liu Hong said sternly, "You may all step down! I wish to speak with my son alone."

In an instant, his sickly appearance vanished, replaced by the imposing aura of an emperor.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid..."

Another eunuch hesitated for a moment, seemingly not wanting Liu Wei to be alone with Liu Hong.

"His Majesty is having a conversation with the King of Yunzhong and his son. What business is it of yours? All of you, get out!"

"Could it be that the King of Clouds would harm His Majesty?"

Wang Chengen scolded.

This young eunuch is one of Zhang Rang's men.

His purpose in staying by Liu Hong's side was to monitor Liu Hong's every move and report it to Zhang and his associates.

The young eunuch glared at Wang Chengen before taking his leave with the other eunuchs and maids.

Wang Chengen bowed and retreated, closing the door of the main hall behind him.

"Father!"

Liu Wei stirred the medicine, blew on it, and handed it over, preparing to feed Liu Hong with a spoon.

Liu Hong snatched the medicine bowl and gulped it down in one go.

"My son, you've finally arrived! I...I'm so happy! I feel refreshed and can finally get out of bed and walk around!"

"Father, you have just taken your medicine and should move around. Let me help you!"

Liu Wei carefully helped Liu Hong up.

"I don't need your help, I'm not going to die anytime soon! Haha!"

Liu Hong pushed Liu Wei away, got out of bed, and started walking around.

Liu Wei hurriedly followed and helped him up, and this time Liu Hong did not push him away.

Men are all the same; they're just stubborn in words.

The two walked slowly.

At this moment, they no longer seemed to be royalty, but rather like an ordinary father and son.

"My son, do you resent your father for demoting you from your princely title and sending you to your fief in Shuofang?"
