Dressed as the prince's substitute? I took the throne

"A mere fake, you think you can turn the tables and become the master?"

"I'm telling you, you're nothing but a fake, and there's a world of difference between you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

"The prince feigned madness and stupidity, enduring this for twenty years. During these twenty years, he endured constant bullying and humiliation in public, while behind the scenes he studied by lamplight at night. By the age of eight, he had mastered ancient books."

"At the age of ten, he could deploy troops, strategize, and master martial arts. He was proficient in everything. He also had hundreds of blood guards following him, and now he has the support of the Xu family."

"As the Crown Prince, when Emperor Wu passes away, he will be able to unify the world, and I will then be the Empress, second only to the Emperor!"

"For the next month, you'd better behave yourself, or I'll tear your tendons and bones apart and chop you into pieces!"

East Palace,

Zhou Chuxuan forced himself to open his eyes and found himself tied up on a chair.

"Where is this? Am I not on a mission?" Looking at the ancient rooms around him, there stood a beautiful woman in palace clothes in front of him.

The words poured into my ears, and a strange memory penetrated my mind.

After a long time, Zhou Chuxuan was shocked to find that

He crossed!

He traveled through time and space to become the prince of Wu Dynasty, but he was a fake. The real prince was physically disabled and could not have children.

It just so happened that his previous incarnation resembled the prince, so he was secretly abducted and, using threats and inducements, made the fake prince in the East Palace to deceive everyone.

The real body went thousands of miles away to find a cure for the disease. Now the real prince has recovered from his serious illness and will return to the court in a month.

I thought that once the real prince returned to the court, my predecessor would be able to buy his freedom with money.

But just now, my predecessor accidentally heard the secret conversation between the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's men. When the Crown Prince returns to the court, it will be the day to kill the fake!

The predecessor immediately prepared to escape, but unfortunately, before he escaped from the Eastern Palace, he was discovered by the prince's men, caught and beaten, and died.

After integrating his memories, Zhou Chuxuan calmed down and began to analyze the situation.

Soon, the breakthrough point was found.

She raised her head, looked directly at the Crown Princess, and said in a calm voice, "You can't kill me, and you can't be the Queen."

"The prince wants to get rid of me so that the news won't leak out, but aren't you also the rumor in the prince's mouth?"

"Why do you think that after the prince kills me, he won't kill you?"

"It's true that you are a daughter of the Xu family, but you are not the only princess in the Xu family. Even if the prince kills you, the Xu family won't do anything."

"On the contrary, the interests tied together between the two will become even deeper."

"You say I'm a fake, but aren't you just a pawn?"

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Chuxuan laughed sarcastically.

"you……"

Xu Hanyan stood there in a daze, looking at those pure eyes, her heart was filled with turmoil and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

"You're not stupid?"

"The prince can play dumb, so why can't I?"

Zhou Chuxuan showed a harmless smile. Since the other party believed that he was also pretending to be crazy, he naturally would not expose him.

"Even if you're pretending to be stupid, so what?" Xu Hanyan took a deep breath and quickly regained her composure. Her pretty face was icy cold. "Do you think you can be the prince's opponent just because you're not stupid?"

She didn't think that this fake was just like the prince, pretending to be crazy and stupid on the surface but developing his own power in secret.

Zhou Chuxuan smiled as usual: "Now the Wu Dynasty is facing constant disasters and food shortages. The court is in urgent need of capable people. If I can get the emperor's attention, I will be safe within this month."

"Plus, the Northern Desert has sent an envoy to borrow grain. There's already hatred between the two countries, so the Emperor will naturally not agree."

"And I can not only help the emperor solve the disaster, but also solve the problem of saving food in the Northern Desert. Not only that, I can also make the Northern Desert delegation work for me."

"I haven't developed my own power in these years, but I can protect myself in this month."

"On the contrary, the Crown Princess is so high and mighty in public, but once she is no longer useful, she will be like a piece of fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others."

"So, if you don't want to die and don't want to implicate your family, you have no choice but to cooperate with me."

Zhou Chuxuan's voice was flat.

But every word was like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Xu Hanyan's heart.

"ridiculous!"

After a long silence, Xu Hanyan suddenly shouted, "You have no idea what kind of existence he is!"

"You thought your plan was foolproof, but little did you know that none of these things could escape his control. You are nothing but a fake. You are not qualified to compete with the Crown Prince in intelligence!"

At the end of her words, Xu Hanyan almost roared, her pretty face pale and her eyes trembling, that was the fear of the prince engraved in her bones.

He is the devil!

A real devil from hell!

The prince was born to Emperor Wu of Han when he was drunk and had sex with a palace maid. His mother was subjected to all kinds of instructions when she was pregnant, and she committed suicide by jumping into a well after giving birth to him.

He lost his mother at a young age and was born to a palace maid. He was bullied since childhood.

It is said that children from poor families grow up early. When he was three years old, he understood the principle of forbearance. He pretended to be crazy and stupid on the surface, but in fact he was learning the strategies of literature and martial arts.

She set up the chess game at the age of ten, and the move that led to her marrying into the Eastern Palace was made by the prince when he was twelve years old.

Even this fake one started to be searched for when he was fifteen years old.

With such a character and such a strategy, who can compete with him if he is given a few more years?

It was precisely for this reason that she did not believe the lies of this fake. What about attracting the attention of Emperor Wu? Everyone in the court knew that the prince was a fool. How could they let him participate in such an important matter as discussing state affairs?

ridiculous!

"hehe."

Zhou Chuxuan laughed out loud, "I wonder if the Crown Princess is interested in a gamble?"

"What are you gambling?"

Xu Hanyan frowned. For some reason, she always felt that the fake in front of her was very similar to the prince, not only in appearance, but also in that sudden confidence.

It seemed as if the chess game of the world was in his control.

"Let's bet on whether a eunuch will come and summon me to the court for a meeting."

Zhou Chuxuan's body was tied to a chair, but his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, making her want to believe it.

But after a long time, no one appeared outside.

"you lose."

Xu Hanyan spoke coldly, with a hint of disdain in her words, "Everyone in the court knows that the current crown prince is a waste. Summoning you to the court to discuss state affairs is wishful thinking."

She had thought that this fake really had the ability of a prince, but now it seemed that he was just a copycat.

"Perhaps, at this time, trash is more useful," Zhou Chuxuan smiled helplessly, his eyes still looking outside.

If it were in the past, Emperor Wu would naturally not summon him to discuss state affairs, but now the Northern Desert is concerned about the disaster in the Wu Dynasty, has deployed tens of thousands of troops on the border, and has sent an envoy to borrow grain. Whether he lends the grain or not, it is an indelible sin.

At this time, it would be best to push this fool out.

At this moment, a voice passed through the wall and shook Xu Hanyan's mind.

"Your Majesty has ordered the Crown Prince to come to court for a discussion!"
