Chapter 658: I have the final say on whether you are qualified or not

Xiao Heyu's heart tightened, while Lu Qing was stunned and subconsciously looked at his son.

Emperor Qianwu narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Why is he here to join in the fun? I won't see him!"

Li Yunwei said in embarrassment: "But...but Your Majesty, Lord Xie came here with two veterans of three dynasties, as well as Prime Minister Qin and Old Master Xiao."

Emperor Qianwu pursed his lips tightly, his expression unclear.

The Queen Mother glanced at Lu Qing and said slowly, "Your Majesty, Lord Xie has always been known for his integrity. Since he insists on seeing you, I think he has something important to tell you."

Emperor Qianwu bowed and said, "Your Majesty is right. Let him in."

Soon, Xie Jingchi, together with two old ministers, Prime Minister Qin, and Old Master Xiao, stepped into the gate of Lanxin Palace.

Emperor Qianwu's expression relaxed. After all, one of them was his teacher, and the other two were elderly veterans of three dynasties with extremely high reputations. Even though he was the emperor, he had to respect them very much.

"Your Majesty, I am Xie Jingchi."

Emperor Qianwu looked at the man in front of him and said coldly: "You made such a big fuss, you'd better have an explanation that satisfies me!"

Xie Jingchi looked normal, his cold and handsome face full of integrity and honesty.

"Reporting to your majesty, I want to impeach the Third Prince Xiao Heyu for taking human lives, hunting down civilians, forcing young girls, and having an affair with a man."

As soon as Xie Jingchi said this, Emperor Qianwu shouted angrily: "What did you say!"

The next moment, Emperor Qianwu immediately looked at Xiao Heyu standing beside him. Xiao Heyu's heart trembled slightly, and there was a moment of panic on his face.

But even if it was only for a moment, it was still clearly captured by Emperor Qianwu.

The Queen Mother was even more incredulous: "Long Yang's love? This is impossible! How could the third prince of Daqian be so good as Long Yang!"

At this point, Emperor Qianwu finally understood why Xie Jingchi had to bring the veterans of three dynasties to his doorstep. After all, if he dared to impeach him in the court, he was really afraid that he would not be able to help but chop off his head.

"What nonsense! Lord Xie and Changning County Lady have teamed up to put our Lu family to death, and now they have put this unfounded crime on Yu'er. What exactly do you want to do?"

The corners of Lu Qing's eyes were red. When it came to her own son, she finally lost her composure.

Xie Jingchi ignored him and said, "I have captured several concubines, all of whom can identify the Third Prince. In addition, over the past few years, the Third Prince has captured dozens of young men and women who refused to give themselves to him, and threw them into the hunting grounds, where they were shot as prey!"

"These are the testimonies of the victims' families that I have found. Although most of the skeletons have been eaten by tigers, if Your Majesty sends troops to search, I believe that they will definitely find traces in the hunting grounds of Your Majesty the Third Prince!"

Without waiting for Emperor Qianwu to ask, Xiao Heyu spoke immediately.

"I don't know why Lord Xie slandered me, but father, how could I be such a man? As for the hunting ground, I did shoot and kill some people, but most of them were death row prisoners, and some were captives brought back from the battlefield!"

Xiao Heyu tried to defend himself, but unfortunately, Xie Jingchi would not give him the opportunity.

"Your Majesty, in addition to this, I have also found some male favorites that Your Highness disliked. Most of these people are now in miserable situations, with some having their faces scratched or their tongues cut off. Although there are not many of them, there are at least six of them, and they can all testify against you."

"I believe that if Your Majesty sends troops to search the Third Prince's mansion, there will be answers."

Xiao Heyu's eyes turned red, and his pair of charming peach blossom eyes were now filled with cruelty.

"Xie Jingchi, I have no grudge against you, why are you slandering me? You keep saying you are pleading for the people, but who is instructing you? Could it be that you have other plans?"

Xie Jingchi smiled with his face but not his heart, staring coldly at Xiao Heyu with his phoenix eyes: "Yes, Third Prince, I have no grudge against you. If you hadn't done such evil things, why would I keep staring at you!"

"Do you think my father will believe it just based on this?" Xiao Heyu said coldly, then turned to look at Emperor Qianwu.

"Father, I am not interested in male beauty at all. Those so-called male favorites are just people with ulterior motives who want to frame me, so they are frequently sent to my house. I have rejected them time and time again, but there are always people who don't know what is good for them, so I punished a few of them and made an example of them!"

Xiao Heyu's eyes flushed red, and when he looked at Emperor Qianwu, his face was full of grievance and his voice was loud.

Shen Shuyi curled the corner of his lips. He had to admit that Xiao Heyu and Lu Qing each had their own abilities. Not to mention the lies they told to exonerate themselves, their ability to remain calm in times of crisis was better than many others.

No wonder he stood out among the princes and became the most favored son of Emperor Qianwu.

Emperor Qianwu had an unclear expression. His slightly cloudy eyes looked at the son in front of him whom he had always loved and respected, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Xiao Heyu's throat tightened and he stared at his father, breaking out in a cold sweat uncontrollably.

He had already prepared for these things and thought about how to shirk responsibility and get away with it if the matter ever came before his father.

If it had happened in the past, even if the emperor knew about this trivial matter, he would at most criticize him and would definitely believe his words.

But unfortunately, the timing right now is really bad!

The emperor was suspicious of his uncle and the Lu family, and he was disgusted with his mother. At this time, even if he did nothing, he would be wrong, not to mention being caught by Xie Jingchi.

Xie Jingchi looked stern and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I have arrested several lovers abandoned by Your Majesty and brought them to the Dali Temple. I have also invited Prime Minister Qin and Lord Zhu to interrogate them together. Here are their confessions."

"In addition, I invited Lord Shi to lead the army to explore the Third Prince's hunting ground at night. A lot of skeletons were indeed dug up. However, as for the other prisoners that the Third Prince used as prey, I have not found them yet."

As soon as Xie Jingchi opened his mouth, Prime Minister Qin responded first: "Your Majesty, everything Xie Jingchi said is true. These old ministers were interrogated separately. Indeed... they all showed signs of being tortured, and their confessions all matched."

Prime Minister Qin had a complicated look. He never expected that the third prince of their Daqian, who was most likely to be appointed as the crown prince, would have such a character.

Lord Shi also nodded and said: "The skeletons that this old minister and Lord Xie dug out from the hunting ground are now on display in the Dali Temple, but many of the skeletons are incomplete because they are too old."

Emperor Qianwu's expression became increasingly gloomy. He looked at his son in front of him, rage accumulating in his turbid eyes.

Lu Qing's heart tightened, and she had a bad feeling.

She immediately stepped forward and instinctively defended Xiao Heyu: "Your Majesty, according to Xie Jingchi's official rank, he is not qualified to search Heyu's hunting grounds."

"What's more, he is investigating He Yu at this time. His motives are really sinister. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

"Pah!" The next moment, Emperor Qianwu slapped Lu Qing hard on the face and said angrily, "Whether you are qualified or not is up to me, not you!"
