The Xie family was convicted of having their entire family confiscated because Prince Li Yiye coveted Jiang Wanyue, the fiancée of Xie's eldest son. Only the eldest son Xie was secretly sent to the East Palace, where he was humiliated and tortured by the prince and turned into a eunuch, just so that he could witness his happiness with Jiang Wanyue.
