Chapter 648: Beautiful Fox Demon vs. Unfavored Prince (44)
The old emperor glared angrily at Nalan Chen who was kneeling on the ground:
"Two years ago, the Minister of Rites drowned while on a boat trip. I suspected something fishy was going on and ordered you to investigate. You told me it was indeed an accident, but what's the truth?!"
"You were dissatisfied with the Minister of Rites's disrespect at the banquet, and you held a grudge against him, so you sent the demon tribe to kill him!"
"I thought you were honest and kind, but it turns out you were just pretending to deceive me!"
"Everyone here died tragically because of you!"
Crash——
The old emperor threw the list to Nalan Chen.
Nalan Chen, who was hit in the face by the paper, kowtowed in panic: "Father! This son has never done these things! It is this servant who wronged me!"
As soon as Nalan Chen finished speaking, the demons stood up and told the whole process of their crime one by one.
Even the clothes the victim was wearing were described clearly.
It is almost the same as what the old emperor saw.
Before everyone could digest the news, Lu Cha took out another letter:
"In addition, the eldest prince has reached a cooperation agreement with the Mo Kingdom. In exchange for 10,000 taels of gold and a city, he hopes that the Mo Kingdom can attack our borders and create chaos."
"It's because the eldest prince wants to use this war to win the hearts of the people and gain the position of crown prince."
"In order to allow the Mo Kingdom to break through the border in the shortest possible time, the eldest prince also gave the Mo Kingdom a border defense map."
The old emperor immediately ordered the eunuch to present the letter.
After confirming that it was Nalan Chen's handwriting and that it was also stamped with his private seal, the old emperor almost lost his breath. After a while, he was able to speak:
"Nalan Chen, you rebellious son!"
"I trusted you so much, but you betrayed my country!"
Knowing that any explanation would be futile, Nalan Chen simply threw all his weight behind him and pointed directly at Lu Cha and shouted:
"Father! This is all a conspiracy of the demon clan!"
"This maidservant is just like Luo Qianqian! She's a fox demon that eats people!"
Nalan Ji, who had remained silent the entire time, suddenly had a glint in his eye and stood in front of Lu Cha.
"Is the eldest prince talking nonsense out of anxiety?"
"I naturally know whether my maidservant is a demon or not."
"Don't think I don't know that you have been colluding with this fox demon for a long time!" Nalan Chen looked at the old emperor:
"If you don't believe me, you can call the Imperial Master over!"
"I swear on my life that I am not lying!"
Even if he dies, he will take that bitch Yin Lucha with him!
Hearing this, Nalan Ji's worries disappeared instantly.
Lu Cha glanced at Nalan Chen, who was kneeling on the ground, with a playful look.
I hope the dog's reaction later won't disappoint her~
The old emperor looked at the woman in red in the hall, and after a moment, he said in a deep voice:
"Please ask the Imperial Master to come over."
After about half a cup of tea, Mu Qingrong followed the eunuch into the Golden Palace.
Seeing several demons in the hall, Mu Qingrong, who had already received the news, pretended to be surprised:
"Your Majesty, why are there so many demons?"
The old emperor briefly explained the whole story to Mu Qingrong:
"I have asked the Imperial Master to come here just to find out whether this woman is a demon or not."
Mu Qingrong frowned slightly and took out the talisman paper that had been tampered with in advance: "Your Majesty, this is a demon-hunting talisman. As long as you are within one meter of the demon, it will emit golden light."
"On the contrary, if we encounter a human, we will destroy him."
As he spoke, Mu Qingrong conducted an experiment using the two little demons closest to him.
The talisman paper instantly emitted a faint golden light.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Qingrong walked towards Lu Cha again, and almost the moment he approached the woman, the talisman paper in his hand lost its light.
"Your Majesty, this woman is not a demon."
After hearing Mu Qingrong's words, the old emperor felt relieved.
Nalan Chen looked incredulous:
"Impossible! Yin Lucha is clearly a fox demon! How could she turn into a human?!"
"There must be something wrong with your talisman paper, Imperial Master! Try taking out another one!"
"Enough!" The old emperor finally couldn't stand it anymore, stepped down from the high chair, and slapped Nalan Chen hard:
"I think you are completely crazy! How dare you even question the Imperial Master!"
"Pass on my decree! The eldest prince, Nalan Chen, has colluded with the demon tribe, murdered officials, and maliciously provoked war, causing the people of the borderlands to suffer. His status as a prince is deposed and he will be executed at noon tomorrow!"
It would be better for him not to have such a rebellious son!
Nalan Chen immediately collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the indifferent old emperor:
"Father! I am your son! Your most cherished heir! You cannot kill me!"
