After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

study.

Xie Ansheng stood with his hands behind his back, facing away from his two brothers, creating a somber and oppressive atmosphere in the room.

"Father." Xie Yuhe bowed his head and greeted Xie Ansheng.

"Tell me, what's going on between you two lately?" Xie Ansheng turned his head, his sharp eyes landing on Xie Yuhe: "You're at the age where you're about to get married, so I've been turning a blind eye to whatever you do."

“But lately, you have been investigating Mingzhu and examining the records of the previous dynasty.”

“A while ago, all three of you brothers looked down on Xie Xing. I thought you wanted to befriend your sister, so I didn’t interfere too much.”

"What are you all up to today? Trying to send your own sister to her death?"

Xie Yuhe's pupils trembled. He raised his head and looked at Xie Ansheng in surprise: "Father..."

Did Father even notice?

Xie Ansheng sneered: "Do you think your father is blind and ignorant?"

Xie Yuhe sighed.

Xie Xing's thoughts were, after all, related to the fate of the entire Xie family. Now that Xie Mingzhu's identity had been confirmed, there was no harm in revealing this secret.

“Father, this is a long story…” Xie Yuhe told Xie Ansheng about the abnormality in Xie Xing’s body.

Now it was Xie Ansheng's turn to be dumbfounded.

"How can this be?"

Xie Yuze immediately replied, "It's true, Father. All three of us brothers can hear it."

"The first time I heard her voice was at my second brother's welcoming banquet. She said that His Majesty was wary of our Xie family, so my second brother immediately changed the reward, which indeed pleased His Majesty."

"Furthermore, after hearing the inner thoughts, Prince Jin intercepted the assassin in advance."

Xie Yuze recounted all the recent events to Xie Ansheng.

Xie Ansheng became increasingly shocked as he listened.

After Xie Yuze finished speaking, he paused for a moment and then asked, "If what you say is true, is this Xie Xing a prodigy or my daughter?"

Xie Yuze said, "Apart from being able to hear her thoughts, there's nothing special about it."

"She is the daughter of the Xie family."

Xie Ansheng remained silent.

Xie Xing had just given him a big surprise today, but he never expected that an even bigger surprise was waiting for him.

Xie Yuhe only told Xie Ansheng about what had happened during this period, confirming that he could hear Xie Xing's thoughts, but he did not mention the future fate of the Xie family or that Xie Mingzhu was a princess of the previous dynasty.

I'm worried that Xie Ansheng is too old and might not be able to handle it.

Sure enough, after Xie Ansheng calmed down for a while, he asked curiously, "If what you say is true, why can you hear Xie Xing's thoughts, but I can't?"

"What is the reason for this?"

“Even Prince Jin can hear it.”

No wonder Prince Jin paid special attention to Xie Xing, and even spoke up for Xie Xing in front of the emperor; it turns out that's why.

So it seems that Prince Jin did indeed gain the upper hand because of Xie Xing's sentiments.

Xie Yuhe was unable to answer the question Xie Ansheng asked.

Because he was also completely baffled.

Currently, all he knows is that they, the Song brothers, and Jun Lanjin can hear Xie Xing's thoughts, and there is also Luo Hanfeng, whom he suspects.

why?

"I don't know." Luo Hanfeng shook his head.

Xie Ansheng was somewhat disappointed.

But this is good news.

He said reproachfully, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"This is a good thing. With a prophet, we can naturally avoid many things."

Xie Ansheng was still smiling.

Xie Yuhe and Xie Yuze looked at Xie Ansheng with complicated expressions.

Xie Yuze said speechlessly, "Dad, do you really think so?"

Seeing their expressions, Xie Ansheng's smile slowly faded. He looked at the two of them uncertainly and asked, "But, is there a problem?"

Xie Yuze crossed his arms and sneered, "We learned from Xie Xing's inner thoughts that our elder brother will soon perish in a sea of ​​fire."

"What?!" Xie Ansheng exclaimed in shock.

This is not enough.

Xie Yuze added, "My second brother died on the battlefield. His head was cut off by the enemy and hung on the city wall."

This was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering Xie Ansheng's remaining joy.

His eyes widened in horror: "How could this be?"

This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Before Xie Yuze could finish speaking, he added, "The entire Xie family was raided, and I, because of falling off my horse, will be crippled for life, search the whole capital for help but to no avail, and finally die with resentment."

Xie Ansheng: "..."

He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving, and his body swayed violently before he collapsed into the chair.

"Impossible, how could this be?" Xie Ansheng's voice was weak, with a hint of disbelief in it.

How could I possibly believe that?

The Xie family is now at its zenith, thriving and prospering.

What if the emperor is wary?

With military power in his hands, could the emperor arbitrarily take action against him?

Moreover, the Xie family is loyal and devoted, and Xie Ansheng has never had any intention of rebelling. How could he end up having his home confiscated?

Absolutely ridiculous!

absurd!

"Nonsense!" After thinking it through, Xie Ansheng shouted coldly, clearly not believing Xie Yuze's statement.

Xie Yuze was not surprised; no one could believe such an ending.

But everything Xie Xing said is being proven true.

Moreover, he personally witnessed that a remnant of the previous dynasty standing in front of Xie Mingzhu and calling her princess.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but Xie Yuze had fought against these remnants of the previous dynasty and had seen the tokens on their bodies, so it was impossible for him to mistake them for someone else.

"What if—Xie Mingzhu is a princess from the previous dynasty?" Xie Yuze asked in a deep voice.

Xie Ansheng suddenly looked up, staring at Xie Yuze in shock.

He immediately stood up from his chair, walked to the window and looked around to make sure all the servants had been dismissed before closing the doors and windows.

Xie Ansheng walked up to Xie Yuze, grabbed his ear hard, and yelled, "You brat, do you know what you're saying?"

"If anyone else hears you say that, my entire Xie family will be executed!"

Xie Ansheng was stunned by what he said.

Taking this opportunity, Xie Yuze freed his ear from Xie Ansheng's grasp. He gasped in pain and said helplessly, "Father, even you know that if Mingzhu is a princess from the previous dynasty, my entire Xie family will die."

Xie Ansheng: "..."

He gasped and took two steps back: "How...how could this be?"

Xie Yuze said, "Before today, I never believed it, but Dad, guess what happened today?"

“I saw it with my own eyes: the remnants of the previous dynasty were protecting Xie Mingzhu behind them, calling her ‘Princess.’”

“I wanted to bring her back, but I didn’t expect to be no match for that man. He stabbed me with his sword, and Mingzhu was taken away with me.”

Xie Ansheng: "..."

He felt his mind was completely blank.

Even Xie Yuhe looked at Xie Yuze in astonishment.

No wonder Xie Yuze didn't have time to care about Xie Xing back then; he must have encountered something like this.

For a long time.

Xie Ansheng's throat was dry, and he looked as if he had aged ten years in an instant. He asked dryly, "Is what you said true?"
