His Rui

When the first fist fell on Zhao Zhuang Chen's face, he was shocked.

He blinked his eyes vigorously as he tried to confirm that he was not dreaming and it was a reality. The b****d brother of his really punched him.

Since young, Zhao Zhuang Chen had always looked down on Zhao Zhang Wei… especially after Zhao Zhang Wei's mother died. He never left any opportunity to humiliate and look down on him.

But Zhao Zhang Wei had never dared to raise his voice against him let alone hit him.

Holding his jaw, when he tried to move it, Zhao Zhuang Chen immediately winced with pain. Furious he looked at Zhao Zhang Wei who was looking at him as if he wanted to tear him into shreds.

Zhao Zhuang Chen was angrier when he saw this and shouted

"AAh… how dare you to hit me, Zhao Zhang Wei!"

Zhao Zhang Wei didn't say anything. Instead, he rubbed his face to calm down his anger and turned around to leave from there.

However, how could Zhao Zhuang Chen let him go like this after he had been hit so hard by him?

So just when Zhao Zhang Wei turned around, Zhao Zhuang Chen spoke again.

"Oh…so your wangfei is your trigger point, Zhao Zhang Wei! I have never known about this. In fact, I should be thankful to you for telling me this. After I get the throne I will make sure that she becomes an important part of my harem. I will make her serve me for a who…"

Turned around Zhao Zhang Wei had his eyes red as he breathed deeply.

'He is just trying to provoke you.' His mind and heart said to him as he tried to calm down himself. But it was easier said than done.

Zhao Zhuang Chen created a picture in his mind that he wished to shred before it could become true.

The anger again took control over him again.

So he turned around to shut the filthy mouth that was talking about his beloved woman.

A very heavy punch fell on the same place where Zhao Zhuang Chen had been hit before. A very nice sound of 'crack' came and the next moment, Zhao Zhuang Chen was lying on the floor.

"You…"

Furious Zhao Zhuang Chen pointed his finger at Zhao Zhang Wei and wanted to curse him.

However, Zhao Zhang Wei never gave him any such chance this time.

He stepped forward and looked at Zhao Zhuang Chen as if he was a filthy animal lying in the mud and said

"If you said something about Qingqing again, I promise you that I will kill you with my own hands."

For a moment, Zhao Zhuang Chen truly felt very afraid of Zhao Zhang Wei's cold and firm eyes. He looked around the empty hall and suddenly felt a shiver running down his spine.

However, the next moment, when he realized that he was getting afraid of Zhao Zhang Wei who always has been lower than him, he felt that it was shameful.

So he firmed his scared heart and smiled mockingly.

"You will kill me? You can't do anything, Zhao Zhang Wei and you know that very well. You can't do anything in present and you won't be able to do anything in the future…when I will take your Qin…ah…"

Punch after punch landed on Zhao Zhuang Chen's face even before he could complete his words.

"Don't take her name."

Zhao Zhang Wei shouted as he hit blindly the lying man on the ground.

Zhao Zhuang Chen tried to fight back and sometimes he was successful in hitting Zhao Zhang Wei back. However, a few moments later, Zhao Zhang Wei effortlessly subdued him and started to hit more heavily.

Zhao Zhuang Chen was afraid as he felt the pain searing through his whole body.

"Help…."

He shouted out loud as he covered his head and curled up his body to save himself from Zhao Zhang Wei's fists.

"Help..."

His shouts rang through the empty hall.

It was after a few moments … few moments that were like a whole shichen to Zhao Zhuang Chen…he finally heard someone shout.

"Ah…Second prince is hitting the first Prince…"

It was a maid who immediately ran away from there to gather enough men who could help her to stop this ongoing fight.

On the other hand, Zhao Zhuang Chen who was now about to lose consciousness felt his heart filling up with humiliation.

Would he ever be able to show his face to anyone after this whole fiasco?

'Zhao Zhang Wei…I will make you regret your actions to the death.'

With these words inside his heart, Zhao Zhuang Chen lost his consciousness while the imperial guards finally stepped inside the hall and separated the angry Zhao Zhang Wei from Zhao Zhuang Chen with very difficulty.

Four to five imperial guards held Zhao Zhang Wei but they were finding it very difficult to control the shouting Prince.

"Leave me…I said leave me…How dare he call my Qingqing…with his filthy mouth…I will kill him."

When the guards finally managed to control Zhao Zhang Wei, another person stepped inside the hall.

"What is going on here?"

The maids who were silently watching this scene immediately kneeled down on the floor.

"What happened to the first Prince?"

Zhao Wang Lei frowned as he looked at the unconscious Zhao Zhuang Chen lying on the floor. Then his gaze went to Zhao Zhang Wei who was held by the guard and now was glaring angrily at Zhao Zhuang Chen.

Zhao Wang Lei's eyes flickered and he looked at Eunuch Wang.

"Arrange an Imperial Physician to check the first Prince."

"Yes, Your Majesty"

Eunuch Wang bowed and immediately told two maids to call the Imperial Physician and then asked two soldiers to carry him inside his chambers.

No one knew how the news reached the Empress' chambers but as the guards lifted Zhao Zhuang Chen from the floor carefully, Empress Qin Wenya's shocked voice echoed through the hall.

"Zhuang Chen"

Empress Qin Wenya could only watch as her son with his face beaten black and blue was taken away by the Imperial guard on the Emperors' order.

She didn't follow them. Instead, she glanced at Zhao Zhang Wei coldly and then at Zhao Wang Lei. Zhao Wang Lei only met her eyes for a brief second but in that brief second, he blinked them assuringly.

After Zhao Zhuang Chen was taken away, the Emperor finally paid his attention to Zhao Zhang Wei.

Zhao Zhang Wei had also calmed down now.

He sighed as he started to realize what he had done. Empress's cold eyes didn't go unnoticed from him. He freed his hands from the guards and stood straight without any emotion on his face.

No trace of guilt or regret could be seen on his face.

In fact, if Zhao Zhuang Chen was still there then he would have started to hit the unconscious mercilessly again.

'How dare he call his Qingqing with his filthy mouth' Zhao Zhang Wei thought inside his heart.

As Zhao Zhuang Chen's words rang in his mind, his eyes started to become red again.

Amidst his thoughts, Zhao Zhang Wei heard the Emperor speaking coldly.

"Until the first Prince wakes up and Zhen listens to both sides, the second Prince will kneel in front of the Delan Palace."

Delan Palace where the first Prince lived …. Zhao Zhang Wei smiled bitterly.

Even before hearing both sides, he was punishing him…what a 'justice loving' Emperor.

Although he thought this inside his heart, he didn't say anything as he knew that it would be of no benefit.

Silently, Zhao Zhang Wei left the hall to kneel outside Delan Palace…without even bowing in front of the Emperor and the furious Empress.
