My bedroom is connected to ancient times, I am in love with the prince

Hearing Xie Beiheng's question, Xu Chong also hurriedly said behind him: "Sir, Liu Jiachuan is dead!"

Xie Beiheng paused when he heard this and turned around abruptly, "What did you say?"

Xu Chong immediately replied, "Sir, three days ago, the night you left, Liu Jiachuan died in prison!"

"How did you die?"

"He said he committed suicide out of fear of punishment!"

Xie Beiheng gritted his teeth, "What a shameless act of committing suicide out of fear of punishment! That old man is the most cowardly person. Committing suicide? This prince thinks it's murder to silence the witness."

Who wants to kill Liu Jiachuan?

Could it be that Liu Jiachuan was not the only official in the court who colluded with the Northern Rong?

Damn!

"Is there any news from the East Palace?"

Xu Chong immediately shook his head and replied, "No."

No?

Xie Beiheng frowned, his dark eyes churning with darkness.

Then, he said to An Yi: "Send An Er to the study immediately."

"Yes, master."

An Er soon appeared in the study.

Dressed in black, holding a painting tube in his hand, he knelt on one knee and said, "Master."

"Get up and tell me what you have found out?"

An Er stood up and said, "Master, I, your subordinates, will follow your instructions to investigate all the royal family members who disappeared or died between twenty and thirty years ago in Beirong."

"My subordinates have investigated and found that five members of the Northern Rong royal family have died in the past ten years, but no one is missing."

"But among the five people who died, four princes and sons died of illness, and only one princess died under strange circumstances."

Princess?

Xie Beiheng was shocked.

Dark eyes stared at An Er, "Why did he die so strangely?"

An Er continued, "This princess is the sister of the current Northern Rong Emperor, He Yuan, and the fifth princess, He Lingyue. It's rumored among the Northern Rong people that this fifth princess has some flaws, so she always wears a veil when traveling. Therefore, few people have ever seen her true face."

"My subordinates have investigated and found that twenty-two years ago, the previous Northern Rong Emperor betrothed her to Xiao Fangche, the eldest son of then-General Xiao Yuan of the Cloud Banner. However, three months later, before the wedding could take place, He Lingyue died in a fire, and Xiao Fangche never married again."

Xiao Fangche, now the Northern Rong's general who is in charge of conquering the south.

This time, it was Xiao Fangche who led the Zhenbei Army to annihilate the 300,000-strong Beirong army.

Xie Beiheng curled up the corner of his mouth into a sneer. No wonder he was so impatient and wanted to get rid of him again and again. It turned out that he was seeking revenge for his lover!

"Have you found anything to prove her identity?"

An Er immediately replied, "Ever since she died in the fire, Bei Rong has erased all traces of the Fifth Princess, claiming it was an unlucky omen."

"I searched for her many times but to no avail, which is why I was delayed in Beirong for many days. Later, I secretly sneaked into the Zhengnan General's residence and found her portrait in Xiao Fangche's study."

After saying that, An Er stepped forward and handed the painting tube in his hand to Xie Beiheng.

Xie Beiheng took the painting tube with a gloomy look in his eyes, but did not take out the portrait immediately.

Even though he had guessed it long ago, he still held on to hope until the last moment.

If it was really her, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion...

After a while, Xie Beiheng took out the portrait from the painting tube and slowly unfolded it.

The woman in the painting then appeared before my eyes...

……

Seeing Xie Beiheng staring at the portrait without moving, Xu Chong moved forward to take a look out of curiosity.

"what!"

He immediately exclaimed.

It was Aunt Fang, Aunt Fang when she was young.

Oh my God, the Beirong royal family hiding in Dayue is actually Aunt Fang!

……

Early the next morning.

From the study room of Xiaoxiang Courtyard came the sound of a desk being knocked down by a slap, the tabletop broke, and the things on the table were scattered all over the floor.

"Okay, okay, I..." Xie Qinchuan's face flushed red and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

For twenty-two years, he was fooled by a woman.

He had kept the princess of the enemy country in the backyard of his mansion for twenty-two years without ever knowing about it. Moreover, because of her, Shuang'er gave birth prematurely and her health was damaged.

Xie Qinchuan's forehead was bulging with veins, and he wished he could tear the man into pieces.

He turned around and met his son's dark gaze.

I suddenly felt ashamed!

As a father, I was fooled by a woman. Not only did I welcome a spy from the enemy country into my home, but I also let her harm his mother.

"Heng'er, your father..."

Xie Qinchuan was furious, "Heng'er, how are you going to deal with her?"

Xie Beiheng's face was solemn. The most difficult issue at the moment was her identity.

Since the third year of Hongjing, Dayue and Beirong have been at war for twenty-seven years, but the princess of Beirong has been hiding in the backyard of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion for twenty-two years...

"Father, this matter must not be known to others. If anyone knew that your father's concubine was the Princess of Beirong, and if it reached His Majesty, the entire Zhenbei Marquisate would be destroyed overnight."

Upon hearing this, Xie Qinchuan gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Father knows that His Majesty is already wary of the Zhenbei Marquisate. If he gets to know about this, the Zhenbei Marquisate will be charged with treason and collaborating with the enemy..."

"It's all my fault for being so foolish that the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is in this situation now." Xie Qinchuan became more and more annoyed and regretful as he spoke.

When he was seriously injured and unconscious and was rescued, he was filled with gratitude. Later, when he was drunk, he tarnished his benefactor's innocence and felt that he was worse than an animal.

Filled with remorse, he wanted to make amends. At that time, he was also glad that the other person did not ask for his wife or his favor, but only wanted a small courtyard to live a peaceful life.

Only then did he take the person back to his mansion.

Now that I think about it, Zhang Ji set a trap and took every step carefully, and I fell into his trap without realizing it.

Over the years, I have never set foot in Fangfei Garden, which has made it easier for her to do things.

Xie Beiheng's eyes flashed with coldness, "Father, she is in the backyard of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, yet she is able to communicate and conspire with Liu Jiachuan. She must have people in the mansion, and she must have influence in the capital."

"I suspect that besides Liu Jiachuan, there are other officials in the court who are colluding with her. I beg you to hand her over to me. I must cut off her escape route and dig out these traitors one by one."

"Otherwise, I, Dayue, will never have peace!"

Xie Qinchuan nodded immediately, "Heng'er, just do it, your father will cooperate with you."

He was afraid that if he were to meet that woman, he would not be able to control himself and would chop her in two with a knife.

Xie Beiheng nodded, then his eyes fell on Xie Qinchuan's face.

Hesitant expression, hesitant to speak...

"Heng'er, do you have anything else to tell your father?" Xie Qinchuan asked in confusion.

Xie Beiheng opened his mouth, and after a moment, he hesitated and said, "Father, Beiyu..."

(Today is another day of being sick, my head hurts a bit, and I haven't written a single word yet. I can't update tonight. I apologize to the readers who are following me. I'll try again tomorrow during the day!

It's 19.9 words now. As a reader, I feel like a 20-word novel is so short, but as an author, I'm like, oh my god, how did I manage to write 20 words?
