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

The moon is dim and the stars are sparse. It is already late at night.

Zhou Chuxuan woke up slowly, and the first thing he saw was Xu Hanyan sitting beside the bed, seemingly in deep thought.

"I win again!"

The low and hoarse voice made Xu Hanyan shudder all over and came back to her senses from her thoughts. A hint of joy unconsciously appeared on her face, but it disappeared again.

Then he looked at Zhou Chuxuan with a complicated expression.

"How do you know he wouldn't give you real poison? But a knockout drug?"

"I'm betting!"

Zhou Chuxuan pointed to the teacup on the table, indicating that he was thirsty.

Xu Hanyan glanced at him, but still poured the tea and handed it over.

"The more people who know about this, the greater the risk of exposure! So Erhu will never kill me unless it's absolutely necessary!"

Zhou Chuxuan moistened his throat and felt a wave of weakness all over his body. He couldn't help but secretly smack his lips. This body was almost destroyed by a packet of knockout drugs.

"But what if you lose?"

Xu Hanyan narrowed her eyes, not believing that Zhou Chuxuan would make such a rash attempt.

"It doesn't matter!"

"If you lose, you lose!"

"If I lose, won't I know nothing now?"

Seeing Zhou Chuxuan's relaxed smile, Xu Hanyan couldn't help but frown.

After a while, Xu Hanyan sighed: "Erhu's suspicions have been dispelled for now, but the surveillance of you will definitely not be reduced! Who knows, there may be another temptation!"

"No problem! Let him try it out!"

Zhou Chuxuan lay on the bed nonchalantly, pulling the quilt over him and asking, "Won't the Crown Princess sleep with me?"

"Why don't you look scared at all?"

"Or perhaps you haven't truly experienced the terror of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Xu Hanyan frowned.

Zhou Chuxuan gave her a very bad impression. He had just achieved a small victory but became too proud of himself and lowered his guard against his unknown opponent.

And the person he was facing was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

Zhou Chuxuan smiled lightly and said confidently, "Crown Princess, the Crown Prince is a human being, and so am I. Why don't you ask His Royal Highness if he's afraid of me?"

"you!"

Xu Hanyan was speechless by his self-righteousness.

He had no choice but to sit alone on the edge of the bed, his eyes constantly moving.

If this guy is really hopeless, she will turn to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince without hesitation. Given the relationship between her and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not necessarily kill her.

"How's the stuff I asked you to prepare?"

Zhou Chuxuan didn't care about Xu Hanyan's mood at the moment. He covered himself with a quilt, lay on his side on the bed, and closed his eyes to rest.

"It will be delivered tomorrow!"

Xu Hanyan said coldly, "But I warn you, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has many eyes and ears in the Eastern Palace, so you'd better not make any big noise!"

"We are now on the same page, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's eyes and ears. Aren't you going to tell me?"

Zhou Chuxuan turned over, opened his eyes and looked at Xu Hanyan.

During that moment of eye contact, Xu Hanyan actually saw some cunning and depth in his eyes.

She had only seen this kind of look on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before.

"The guards are led by Erhu, a team of thirty-six soldiers, Lao Chai who cooks in the kitchen, Lao Wang who carries water, and..."

"That's all I know. I don't know the rest. Maybe it still exists."

After listening to the long list of names listed by Xu Hanyan, Zhou Chuxuan was secretly amazed. This real prince was indeed quite capable. He could secretly win over so many people to serve him while pretending to be crazy and stupid.

"Then what about the officials in the court and the public who are on good terms with the Crown Prince?"

Zhou Chuxuan pinched his chin.

"I don't know about that. He doesn't completely trust me either."

Xu Hanyan shook her head, a hint of fear unconsciously flashing in her eyes as she spoke: "He is... a true devil that crawled out of hell!"

"That's fine!"

Zhou Chuxuan waved his hand, not intending to delve into this further. "When the bait is put into the water, the fish will automatically surface!"

"What do you mean?"

Xu Hanyan asked nervously, glancing out the window at the same time. Her current behavior was equivalent to betraying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If his spies found out, her fate would definitely be miserable.

"I am the bait!"

"As soon as I enter the water and stir it, his men will come over immediately!"

"You want to use yourself as bait to lure out his men?"

Xu Hanyan was horrified: "Do you know that doing this will expose yourself?"

"Of course I know!"

"I want to make them suspicious, and then they will take the initiative to reach out to me! This way, I will have the opportunity to cut off all his minions one by one!"

Zhou Chuxuan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "If he wants to eat me, then we'll see if he has good teeth!"

Although he has now attracted the attention of Emperor Wu, it is not enough.

He not only wanted to attract the attention of Emperor Wu, but also the attention of all the civil and military officials in the court.

When the spotlight surrounds you, it is no longer convenient for the dark hand to reach out, let alone to take action openly.

Your safety for this month is guaranteed.

Once the real prince returns to the court, it would be fine if we could part ways amicably.

If the other party is ungrateful and insists on killing him, he doesn't mind blowing his head off with a musket.

Xu Hanyan crossed her hands unconsciously, her pupils shrank slightly, and she looked at Zhou Chuxuan with strange eyes.

"Why does the Crown Princess look at me like that?"

The corners of Zhou Chuxuan's mouth curled up in a strange arc.

"Sometimes, I feel that you and he are really a little bit similar!" Xu Hanyan said in a low voice with complicated eyes.

"Haha, like him?"

Zhou Chuxuan sneered, lay down again, closed his eyes, and said disdainfully: "Maybe one day you will find that he is like an ant in front of me!"

"you!"

Xu Hanyan's eyebrows were raised, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.

This guy, even though he's fat, he's actually out of breath.

"The only difference between you and His Royal Highness is that he is modest and tolerant, and knows how to keep a low profile, while you are arrogant and boastful, and even a bit overconfident!"

"call……"

However, the only response she received was Zhou Chuxuan's snoring.

"you……"

Xu Hanyan's face turned pale. Just as he was about to take a rest, he found that Zhou Chuxuan was sleeping in his bed.

After hesitating for a long time, she still did not go to bed and sleep with Zhou Chuxuan. She turned around and lay down on the hard bed in the corner that was originally given to Zhou Chuxuan, and fell asleep with her clothes on with resentment.

Little did they know that at this moment, more than a dozen people were gathered in the dining room of the East Palace.

"Master Erhu, are you sure there is nothing wrong?"

Old Chai's face, which was kind and gentle during the day, looked a little ferocious.

"It should be fine!" Erhu thought for a moment and said, "The Crown Princess never offered to pour him tea. If he had any questions, he wouldn't dare drink it!"

"But he drank it without hesitation!"

"Besides, the Crown Princess had never done anything like this before, so her expression was quite abnormal. But that idiot couldn't see it at all!"

Lao Chai and others were silent for a while.

After a moment, Lao Chai said in a deep voice.

"I'll try it again another day!"

"That's fine..."
