Empress Dowager Dou was already trembling with anger. Her weak body almost fainted from anger.
Fortunately, there were maids who kept patting her back to help her breathe.
She had just gotten a little better when Liu Che actually came!
Her words made her cough violently.
Although Empress Dowager Dou could not see, her hearing was still very good.
Empress Dowager Dou held her walking stick with one hand and pointed at Liu Che with the other. She said angrily,""Liu Che, you…are you going to go against the ancestral teachings?”
"Killing someone in the palace with a sword is a great crime! He wants to implicate the three clans!"
"Besides, I've already asked him to stop. What about him? I turned a deaf ear!"
"These lawless and rebellious people will implicate the seven clans!”
"Crown Prince! Please have more self-respect!"
Empress Dowager Dou stood with her walking stick, her voice extremely cold.
It was obvious that she was really angry with Liu Che!
Liu Che brought Chun Tuo along as they slowly walked over. Along the way, they were calm and composed, without the slightest hint of panic.
On the other hand, the empress dowager was furious. The difference between the two was huge!
Liu Che wasn't in a hurry. He looked at Yaodu with a natural expression and said,""Xuandu, tell the Empress Dowager the ins and outs of this matter!”
"Here!" Xu Du nodded. He didn't look at Empress Dowager Dou, but at Liu Che.
"Your Majesty, after this lowly official's investigation, Dou Xing's family has a fortune of ten million taels! Among them, there were more than eight million taels of silver with unknown origins!”
"Dou Xing privately occupied fertile land, bullied the people, bullied men and women, and committed all kinds of crimes…"
Hearing Dou Xing's evidence from the mouth of the capital, Empress Dowager Dou shouted angrily,""Ridiculous! Ridiculous! I don't know who Dou Xing is? Don't lie to me!"
"Yaodu! You deceived your superiors and abused your authority. You deserve to die!”
Liu Che smiled faintly and said casually," Empress Dowager, you don't have the final say on whether or not you have abused the law and whether or not you deserve to die!"”
"Your Majesty, there are two more things that I don't know if I should tell you!”
"Continue! I also want to know what exactly happened that made you risk your life to charge into the palace and kill Dou Xing!”
Liu Che waved his hand, indicating for him to continue.
"Replying to Your Majesty, this lowly official interrogated Dou Xing's concubine and discovered that Dou Xing had privately said that he wanted to be the Emperor for a few days to satisfy his cravings!”
"Hmm? There's still such a thing!" Liu Che's eyes suddenly focused, and a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
This time, even Empress Dowager Dou was speechless.
This was a great crime that could be beheaded! No one could protect him!
"Your Majesty, Dou Xing is still hiding a large amount of armor at home! According to the Great Han Dynasty's laws, anyone who hid the armor would implicate the three clans!”
"When this lowly subject was capturing Dou Xingdi, I revealed the Shang Fang Horse Slaying Sword! However, that Dou Xing openly defied the imperial edict and was arrested! He even tried to escape to the Empress Dowager and avoid arrest!”
"I had no choice but to charge into the palace with my sword!”
As he spoke, he suddenly knelt in front of Liu Che and kowtowed deeply,""Your Majesty, please punish me for not doing my job properly!”
"You hold the Shangfang Horse Slaying Sword that I gave you, as if you have received my decree! This palace, naturally! I forgive you!" Liu Che waved his hand and said,"Get up!"”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Chun Tuo!"
"This servant is here!"
"Pass on my decree! He was rewarded with 1,000 catties of gold for his meritorious service in killing the rebels. His salary was increased by 1,000 dan! In addition, he would be rewarded with a high-quality horse!”
"Here!"
Xu Du had just stood up, but when he heard such a generous reward, he did not react for a moment.
He entered the palace with his sword and was already determined to kill Dou Xing! This was His Majesty's trust in him. Even if he had to die, he had to complete it!
Who would have thought that not only was he not punished, but he had also received a large amount of rewards.
His gratitude towards Liu Che was like a surging river!
"Lord Zhi, why aren't you thanking His Majesty?”Chun Tuo whispered.
Jia Du recovered from his shock and hurriedly knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly."This humble subject thanks Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
Empress Dowager Dou, who was at the side, was so angry that her face turned ashen when she heard the two of them's double act!
"Preposterous! How preposterous! Is there any law?"
Liu Che turned a blind eye to Empress Dowager Dou's anger.
"Empress Dowager, you know the ins and outs of this matter now!" he said calmly. It's better to return to the palace early to rest."
" You…you…" Empress Dowager Dou was so angry that she almost couldn't hold on to her crutch.
If it wasn't for the maid's quick reflexes and support, she would have fainted.
At the same time, Liu Che waved his sleeves and a thick Emperor Pressure emanated from his body.
"Yadu!"
"Your humble subject is here!"
"Zhen orders you to immediately confiscate Dou Xing's family and execute him. If such a thing happens again, I will hold you accountable!”
"Here!"
After giving the order, Liu Che turned around and left.
Xu Du followed behind Liu Che and left the Eastern Palace.
It wasn't until they had disappeared from sight that the maid said,""Empress Dowager! The Crown Prince has left!"
Even though Liu Che had already walked far away, Empress Dowager Dou's body was still trembling.
She was actually at a disadvantage in the battle with a fourteen-year-old youth just now!
This was unimaginable!
This was also something she could not bear!
She, who was used to using filial piety to kidnap the late emperor, suffered a huge loss at Liu Che's hands!
"What are you waiting for? Inform the King of Liang immediately!"
"Just say that if the King of Liang doesn't enter the capital, he won't come!”
After saying that, Empress Dowager Dou left in anger.
