Snap!

Liu Wei raised his hand and slapped the little eunuch, making his mouth bleed and knocking out two of his back teeth.

"You dare to hit someone from Yongle Palace? You're asking for death!"

The little eunuch was immediately stunned; he never expected that this person would dare to hit him!

He roared, blood spurting from his mouth everywhere.

"Shut up!"

Upon seeing this, Wang Chengen shouted sternly, "Who do you two think you are? Get out of here!"

After hitting the young eunuch, Liu Wei kicked the other stunned young eunuch aside.

Then they helped the little boy up and, like a modern person, gently patted him, as if to brush off the dust.

"What's a little blood loss for a real man? You grow faster from wrestling."

The child looked like a porcelain doll, with red lips, white teeth, and bright black eyes.

He was completely bewildered to see Liu Wei grabbing him with one hand and patting him with the other.

No one has ever dared to treat him like this since he was a child!

"Who...who are you?" The little boy wiped the blood from his nose with his sleeve and looked at Liu Wei with a suspicious gaze.

However, there was also a sense of envy and admiration.

Liu Wei's flicking of the wooden sword from the little boy's hand with his finger had left a deep impression on him.

That's amazing!

"Is the royal mother here? You must be my younger brother, Liu Xie, the Prince of Chenliu!" Liu Wei looked at him with a smile.

Hehe, right now I'm catching the future Emperor Xian of Han and spanking him!

"You...you are my elder brother, Liu Wei, the Prince of Yunzhong!" Liu Xie exclaimed in surprise.

Over the past few months, he had heard the eunuchs around him talk about Liu Wei quite often in Yong'an Palace!

Hearing about it so often, he felt a longing in his heart, wishing he could grow up as soon as possible so that he could lead thousands of troops to reclaim lost territory and drive out foreign tribes, just like Liu Wei.

Unfortunately, he was only ten years old and was being raised by Empress Dowager Dong, so he could not even see his birth mother, Consort Wang, very often.

Liu Xie then frequently practiced swordplay in the palace and targeted the eunuchs who served him.

These young eunuchs became increasingly skilled at acting in order to cooperate with Liu Xie.

But today, I unexpectedly ran into Liu Wei, who was on his way to pay homage to Empress Dowager Dong!

"That's right, I am your elder brother, take me to see the Empress Dowager!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xie was overjoyed and jumped up and down, saying, "Alright, Your Majesty, come with me quickly!"

The two eunuchs were slapped and kicked, respectively.

They thought Liu Wei was a eunuch from another palace, but it turned out he was also a prince. The two men turned pale.

Especially the eunuch whose tooth was knocked out by a slap, he could only swallow his teeth.

"Then this servant will take her leave!"

Upon seeing Liu Wei and Liu Xie recognize each other, Wang Chengen bowed and took his leave.

Liu Wei walked over and said, "Take care, Eunuch Wang!"

With a flick of his wrist, another gold ingot slipped into Wang Chengen's pocket without his knowledge.

Wang Chengen was deeply moved.

When he led Liu Wei into the palace, Liu Wei had already given him a gold ingot.

Now Liu Wei has given him another ingot.

These two ingots together weigh more than twenty taels.

The King of Clouds is really generous!

"Your Highness is too kind!" Wang Chengen calmly closed his sleeves and took his leave.

Liu Xie wanted to pull Liu Wei into Yongle Palace.

Liu Wei let him pull her along.

The two walked one after the other to the main hall, where a eunuch blocked their way.

He noticed that Liu Xie still had blood in his nostrils and was covered in dust. He grabbed Liu Xie and pulled him over, his face grim as he cautiously examined Liu Wei. Then, with deadpan eyes, he demanded, "Who are you? How dare you trespass into Yongle Palace?"

"Young Prince, get away from him immediately!"

"Zhao Daban, this is the Emperor's elder brother, the King of Yunzhong, who has come to pay respects to the Empress Dowager on the orders of our father."

When Liu Xie saw someone blocking his way, he immediately stepped forward to explain.

Others also mentioned that this elder brother was a prince born out of wedlock and had grown up among the common people, but this did not prevent Liu Xie from developing a fondness for this elder brother he had never met.

Perhaps because of blood ties, he felt close to Liu Wei as soon as he saw her today.

"What!"

The dead-eyed eunuch looked even more wary, blocking Liu Xie behind him and pointing at Liu Wei, saying, "The young prince just fell down, was that your doing?"

How dare you, a mere eunuch, question me!

Liu Wei glared at him: "Who are you to question me, the King? Do you have the right?"

"This servant is Zhao Zhong, a palace attendant!"

Zhao Zhong?

Liu Wei raised an eyebrow and, with lightning speed, slapped her across the face.

After diligently practicing Yao Guangxiao's book every day, he had already undergone a complete transformation, his essence and marrow cleansed.

The force used to slap someone was only one percent of what it was, yet it silenced the two eunuchs who had just been slapping them.

The same force was applied to Zhao Zhong's face, but this time it was naturally a bit heavier than before.

However, he didn't intend to kill Zhao Zhong, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get any information about his adoptive parents.

Even if Zhao Zhong had a thick skin, he couldn't withstand such a swift slap from Liu Wei.

Liu Wei was very fast, leaving Zhao Zhong no room to react or dodge.

After a sharp crack, Zhao Zhong's head was buzzing, and his mouth was full of blood.

Zhao Zhong didn't dare to dodge at all. He just didn't understand why Liu Wei would hit him as soon as he heard his name.

He covered half his face, utterly bewildered, and asked, "King of the Clouds, why...why did you hit me?"

"I'm going to beat you!"

Liu Wei didn't expect Zhao Zhong to ask a question in return, and immediately said sternly, "I don't need any reason to hit you, I'll hit you whenever I want!"

The deaths of his adoptive parents, the assassination attempt on Liu Wei in Hetao, and the two people who came looking for Diao Chan...

These are all related to Zhao Zhong.
