"This person has ruined the relationship between us, grandfather and grandson; he should be executed!"
Liu Wei said this deliberately.
"I never expected to have such a person by my side; it's truly unbelievable."
Empress Dowager Dong became somewhat annoyed by Liu Wei's relentless pressure.
She never imagined that a dignified empress dowager would be forced into such a passive position.
Perhaps due to her considerations and taking into account Liu Wei's current strength, she had no choice but to sacrifice Zhao Zhong.
"I have ordered people to investigate this matter thoroughly and get to the bottom of it."
Liu Wei smiled.
Everyone knows the truth of the matter; Empress Dowager Dong was merely feigning ignorance and giving Liu Wei a perfunctory response.
After Liu Wei left, Zhao Zhong was naturally released.
If Zhao Zhong were truly killed, the Ten Attendants would certainly harbor resentment towards Empress Dowager Dong.
How could these people possibly be expected to wholeheartedly serve Empress Dowager Dong in the future?
"What the Empress Dowager says makes sense. I will be staying in Luoyang for a while. If the Empress Dowager finds out anything, please remember to inform me promptly!"
Liu Wei said with a smile.
If Empress Dowager Dong is pushed too hard, it will backfire.
"My father sent me to pay my respects to my grandmother. Now that I see her in such good spirits, I am relieved."
Liu Wei sneered, "Your Majesty, I wish you good fortune and a long and prosperous life."
"I am perfectly fine, you should go back! Staying here too long might cause trouble."
Empress Dowager Dong was already in low spirits because of Zhao Zhong's matter, and her good mood for the day was completely ruined.
After listening to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's advice, they sent someone to find the Princess early in the morning.
However, they discovered that Liu Hua was not in the mansion, but had gone out of the city to greet Liu Wei.
This immediately made her extremely unhappy.
Her daughter has been very active and energetic these days, always jumping around.
She always thinks she's a princess, acting like she has so much power.
Empress Dowager Dong roughly guessed that Liu Hua must be looking for someone to rely on in order to make her daughter empress.
Having been rebuffed by both Empress He and Empress Dowager Dong, he actually turned to Liu Wei for help.
Now, after Liu Wei entered the palace to see Liu Hong, he came to Yongle Palace to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Dong.
Unexpectedly, Liu Wei had planned this all along and was about to cause trouble.
He certainly wouldn't lay a hand on Empress Dowager Dong, but he directly crippled Zhao Zhong, Empress Dowager Dong's right-hand man.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! I shall take my leave now!"
Liu Wei bowed and took his leave.
Punishing Zhao Zhong today is just an appetizer; Liu Wei also needs to find out the truth about the deaths of his adoptive parents.
However, once I arrive in Luoyang, these things will soon come to light.
Old woman, if you sent people to wipe out the village to kill my adoptive parents, then I will make sure you die peacefully!
Liu Wei turned and left Yongle Palace with a flourish.
Empress Dowager Dong watched Liu Wei's retreating figure, her orange-peel-like face turning extremely unpleasant.
"You wild beast left behind by Consort Jing, I am only being so lenient with you now so that the Prince of Chenliu can succeed to the throne."
"Why was I so soft-hearted back then and didn't kill you all?"
Empress Dowager Dong felt a surge of turmoil in her heart.
"Once the matter of establishing an heir is settled, I will make sure you, you beast, go to see that vile Consort Jing."
"Grandmother, why do you look so frightening?"
Empress Dowager Dong's face grew increasingly gloomy, and Liu Xie, watching from the side, was terrified. He quickly said, "Grandmother, there's no need to quarrel with your brother over a mere eunuch!"
"Xie'er, stay away from your elder brother from now on. He's very wicked and will try to take things from you. You must be careful of him!"
Empress Dowager Dong pulled Liu Xie aside and earnestly admonished him.
Seeing that Empress Dowager Dong spoke so solemnly, Liu Xie nodded as if he understood, so as not to anger her.
"This elder brother of the emperor, I don't think he's that hateful. I always feel that he would never hurt me!"
Liu Xie thought this to himself silently.
......
"Imperial Aunt, how did you know I came to Yongle Palace?"
"I just came out of Father Emperor's Ganquan Palace and didn't see you at the door."
As Liu Wei exited Yongle Palace, he saw Liu Hua waiting at the entrance.
I just heard Wang Chengen say that she went to Empress He's place in Yong'an Palace.
Liu Wei pretended not to know anything.
"Your Highness, that vile woman He Hui has sent people to see me again! She just wants to win me over and get the support of the imperial clan."
“I’ve already been mistreated by her. With her being so unpredictable, who would trust her? I scolded her a few times, and we parted on bad terms.”
Liu Hua made no attempt to hide anything and directly told Empress He what she wanted to talk to her about.
Liu Wei was taken aback; it seemed that Liu Hua was planning to place his bet on him.
"What did my brother just say to you? Did you say anything wrong?"
Before Liu Wei could ask any further questions, Liu Hua asked about what she was concerned about: what exactly Liu Wei and Liu Hong talked about.
"Your Highness, this is not the place to talk. Let's leave the palace and talk."
Liu Wei looked around and said slowly.
"Yes, yes, let's discuss it again when we get back!"
......
at the same time.
Yong'an Palace.
Empress He trembled her high breasts, her pretty face already as cold as ice. She threw the teacup in her hand hard, shattering it into pieces, spilling tea all over the floor.
"That bitch Liu Hua, she doesn't know what's good for her, I'll make her pay."
Eunuch Wang quickly intervened, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is a crucial moment; you must not act rashly!"
"Didn't you see her arrogant face? The matter of choosing an heir hasn't been decided yet, and she's already so smug. I don't know what she's so smug about?"
