On the way to the Eastern Palace, Kuai Wen had mixed feelings.
Since ancient times, the harem had been a place where power was intertwined.
Not to mention the center of power in the harem, the Eastern Palace!
Ever since the Great Ancestor established the Darkhan Dynasty, the successive emperors appeared to be somewhat restrained in the Eastern Palace!
Whether it was Emperor Gaozu of Han or Emperor Jing of Han who had just passed away.
In the past, there was Lü's autocracy, and now there is Empress Dowager Dou's interference in politics.
Imperial power was greatly suppressed by the two masters of the Eastern Palace.
Kuai Wen panicked when he thought about how he was about to face the most powerful woman in the Darkhan Dynasty.
No, more accurately speaking, Empress Dowager Dou was the most powerful person in the current Darkhan Dynasty!
Even when Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was still in power, Empress Dowager Dou could influence his decisions, let alone now that Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had passed away!
Although Empress Dowager Dou was a blind old woman, no one dared to look down on her! She was very clear in her heart!
Kuai Wen didn't realize that his hand that was holding the document was already sweating nervously.
If it was an ordinary ancestor worship, he would be able to calm down.
But this moment was different from the past!
Crown Prince Liu Che was going to ascend the throne on the day of the ancestral worship! And those who had a little eyesight could see that the King of Liang was also exerting his strength and wanted to become the emperor!
Most importantly, Empress Dowager Dou sided with the Prince of Liang!
When Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was still in power, Empress Dowager Dou had suggested that Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty make the King of Liang the Crown Prince, let alone now that Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty had passed away.
Therefore, this document that spread the message to the world seemed to be particularly hot!
And as Taichang, who was in charge of worshipping the ancestors and enthroning the emperor, he was the first to bear the brunt!
If he started to prepare without permission, it would mean that he had chosen a side!
At that time, when the imperial power was in conflict, he would definitely be crushed to pieces!
Kuai Wen arrived at the Eastern Palace with a perturbed heart.
"Empress Dowager, Lord Taichang Kuai requests an audience.”
"What is he doing here?" Empress Dowager Dou, who was fighting with crickets, said with a surprised expression.
"Empress Dowager, there are only fourteen days left until the day of ancestor worship! Today is different from the past. Lord Kuai might want to discuss the details of the ancestral worship with you.”
Empress Dowager Dou's expression darkened when she heard this. She muttered,""Yes, today is different from the past.”
"Summon him in."
"It's the Empress Dowager! Xuan-Kuai Wen, enter the hall."
Kuai Wengang came in and said loudly,"Your humble servant pays his respects to the Empress Dowager."”
"Forget it, forget it! Don't disturb my little bug." Empress Dowager Dou waved her hand impatiently.
After signaling the maid to put away the cricket, Empress Dowager Dou said,"For the matter of worshipping the ancestors, it's just an increase in the standards from last year!”
"Yes, Empress Dowager!"
After a while, Empress Dowager Dou did not notice Kuai Wen's departure. She immediately asked,"Why haven't you left yet?"
Kuai Wen hesitated for a moment, then braced himself and said,""Replying to the Empress Dowager, this lowly subject still has a question.”
"If you have something to say, say it quickly.”
"It's the Empress Dowager!" As he spoke, Kuai Wen took out a document and said,""Empress Dowager, I have a document here. It was sent by His Majesty…No, His Highness the Crown Prince…"
Before Kuai Wen could finish, Empress Dowager Dou interrupted him impatiently.
"It's the Crown Prince's document, why are you asking this old woman? I don't have the time to care about the Crown Prince's matters.”
Kuai Wen immediately knelt down and kowtowed.""Empress Dowager, please forgive me! The Crown Prince said in the document that he would ascend the throne on the day of the ancestral worship! This lowly official…This lowly official really doesn't know how to behave! Empress Dowager, please understand."
"Wait a minute! What did you just say? The Crown Prince wants to…"
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the Crown Prince is going to ascend the throne and become the Emperor! On the day of the ancestor worship! The document has already been sent to the world!"
"Crown Prince? Ascend to the throne? The day of ancestor worship?" One word after another struck Empress Dowager Dou's heart.
"Chun 'er-"
"This servant is here."
"Hurry up! Bring it up and read it to me! Not a single word less!"
Empress Dowager Dou couldn't see, so she could only let the maid read it to her.
"Yes, sir!" The maid took the document from Taichang and quickly walked to the empress dowager's side, reading it word by word.
The moment the word "respect" fell, Empress Dowager Dou's expression changed!
With a wave of her hand, she slapped the document in the maid's hand away.
"Preposterous!"
"Where did the Crown Prince get his guts from?!"
"Since when is it his turn to make decisions in this Darkhan Dynasty?”
"Does he still have eyes for me?”
"Inform Mr.…Liu…"
Before she could finish, Empress Dowager Dou was so angry that she fainted.
Upon seeing this, Kuai Wen felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was instantly stunned.
He knew that he was in big trouble.
"The Empress Dowager has fainted, Imperial Physician! Quickly call the imperial physician…"
Kuai Wen didn't know how he had walked out of the Eastern Palace. His back was already drenched in cold sweat, and he felt like a disaster was imminent.
……
Not long after Kuai Wen entered the Eastern Palace, Wang He was in a mess and couldn't sit still.
Helpless, she packed up some high-quality jewelry and brought people to the Eldest Princess.
She also knew that at this juncture, discussing with the Empress Dowager was undoubtedly hitting the muzzle!
The only way was to find the Eldest Princess and let the Eldest Princess whisper in the Empress Dowager's ear. This would be more tactful.
