When Huangfu Wei and Eunuch Feng were out of sight, the Emperor grabbed the paperweight on the table and threw it at Prince Zhuang.
Prince Zhuang's face had long turned ashen; at this moment, he dared not dodge and was hit squarely by the heavy paperweight, causing his head to bleed profusely.
Prince Zhuang lay prostrate on the ground, trembling and speaking rapidly, "Father Emperor, let me explain, your son has words to say, Father Emperor..."
The Emperor shouted angrily, "What more do you have to say?"
Prince Zhuang, tears streaming down his face, sobbed, "There are many doubts about this matter; I am truly wronged. Father Emperor, think about it, Wei'er is only ten years old, how could I bear to let him go through any trials? He was truly abducted; the servants in my mansion can all testify. Father Emperor, just call the servants from Meilan Pavilion where Wei'er lived and ask them, and you will know."
