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

The chief leader gave a bitter laugh and spread his hands: "My Highness, do you really think that Tongfu Inn is omnipotent and omniscient?"

"Although I can't tell you who the murderer is, I can tell you a piece of news for free: there is someone behind Yang Li in the court! And this person has been controlling Yang Li the entire time!"

"In other words, Yang Li is just a puppet!"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded secretly without showing too much surprise. He had already deduced this: "Thank you for the reminder, Chief!"

"Your Highness, don't worry! Since the former Qingzhou governor is still alive, it means that those who captured him must think he still has value!" The chief leader smiled slightly: "Then, Your Highness, what value do you think he still has?"

Zhou Chuxuan's eyes rolled, and he immediately realized: "He wants to use this person to make a deal with me, or to make a deal with someone else!"

"A smart person is a smart person, he will understand everything at once!"

Zhou Chuxuan, who had come to his senses, left Tongfu Inn and returned to his residence. He took a nap and waited quietly for someone to come to see him.

At the same time, Xu Qinglong, the head of the Xu family, came to the gate of the East Palace with a sword in his hand and dozens of servants following behind him. Each of them held a stick in his hand. They came in a menacing manner.

The moment the guards at the East Palace gate saw Xu Qinglong, they trembled with fear. "Master Xu, why are you here? Do you need us to inform you?"

"Bullshit report!"

Xu Qinglong's eyes were bloodshot and he slashed at the guard with his sword.

"Ah! Lord Xu, what are you doing?"

"Killing! Killing!"

The two guards didn't even bother to guard the door and ran directly into the East Palace and shouted, attracting all the guards to come out. At Xu Qinglong's command, the two sides soon engaged in a fight.

Xu Qinglong, holding his sword, split open the door to the bedroom: "Yang Li, get out here!"

Yang Li, who was having sex with the young palace maid on the bed, jumped up from the bed, grabbed his clothes and put them on himself, and looked at the murderous Xu Qinglong in shock: "Master Xu, what are you doing?"

"What? Haha! You treated my daughter like that, and now you dare to ask me what I'm doing?" Xu Qinglong's beard was trembling slightly, and he grasped the sword in both hands and slashed towards the bed.

"I rely on!"

Yang Li immediately dodged by rolling over, and his sword struck the bed, directly cutting the wood in half, scaring the little palace maid on the bed into screaming.

"Master Xu, are you serious?"

Yang Li stepped back repeatedly, looking at Xu Qinglong in shock, confused. When did this old guy care so much about Xu Hanyan?

To him, hasn't Xu Hanyan always been a bargaining chip, a ladder for the Xu family to climb up?

Xu Qinglong pulled the sword out of the bed and continued to rush towards Yang Li: "Humph, that's my daughter! She's pregnant with your child, and you dare to treat her like that? Are you still human?"

"Stop right there! Which hand did you hit me with? I'm going to chop that hand off today! Stop right there!"

"Damn it, this is crazy! You old bastard are completely crazy!" Yang Li cried out in pain. He felt extremely aggrieved that he was being chased and hacked by this old bastard for a child who had nothing to do with him.

The key is that he cannot fight back and cannot hurt Xu Qinglong. Even though he is the prince, Yang Li is very clear about his situation in the court. If Xu Qinglong did not stand by his side, there would definitely not be so many civil and military officials in the court supporting him.

Moreover, Xu Qinglong is the only old minister in the current dynasty, and the Xu family is also the first aristocratic family. He cannot offend this old minister in any way.

When he went out, he found that the servants of the Xu family and the guards of the Eastern Palace were also fighting in the yard. Although there was no life-threatening action, the fight was still fierce.

For a moment, Yang Li was a little panicked. Seeing Xu Qinglong chasing him and continuing to chop him out of the door, Yang Li cried out in pain and ran straight to Xu Hanyan's side hall.

"Madam, madam, please hurry up and persuade your father. Your father wants to kill me!" Yang Li rushed into the side hall howling, leaving Xu Hanyan confused.

"What did you say?"

"Hurry, your father is going to kill me, hurry, save me, save me!" Yang Li hid directly behind Xu Hanyan.

"Get out here, you bastard!"

Xu Qinglong rushed into Xu Hanyan's room angrily, holding his sword. "How dare you hide behind my daughter? Get out!"

"Dad, what are you doing?" Xu Hanyan looked at her father with some confusion. She was a little confused for a moment. Xu Qinglong never cared about her life or death.

"Humph, this brat actually dared to bully you. Daddy, I will naturally seek justice for you! Get out here! Boy, are you ashamed to hide behind a woman?"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Xu Qinglong's eyes. If he hadn't wanted to cooperate with Zhou Chuxuan to complete his plan, he wouldn't have bothered with Xu Hanyan. To him, Xu Hanyan was an dispensable existence. Without Xu Hanyan, there were other daughters in the family who could become the Crown Princess.

If they can successfully help Zhou Chuxuan regain the throne of crown prince, the Xu family will be the number one hero. Wouldn't it be easy to get the position of crown princess?

At worst, when Zhou Chuxuan ascends the throne and becomes Emperor Wu, the women of their Xu family will also occupy an important position in the harem. So everything he did was not for Xu Hanyan at all, but to help Zhou Chuxuan and to help the Xu family!

Yang Li stuck his head out and begged for mercy, "Father-in-law, I was wrong. I was indeed a little impatient with Madam. I apologize to Madam and will never treat her like this again! Father-in-law, please put away your sword first!"

Xu Hanyan complained in her heart, haha, this Yang Li looks like a tough guy, but unexpectedly he is a spineless person. He started begging for mercy after being scared by his father a few times.

This kind of person is no match for the original Zhou Shaxuan. Sooner or later, he will be killed by Zhou Chuxuan. By then, she will perfectly return to the position of Crown Princess.

"Daughter, tell me, how do you want daddy to teach him a lesson?" Xu Qinglong looked at Xu Hanyan.

Yang Li suddenly became nervous. This old guy was really overbearing. The key was that he absolutely could not offend this guy now, otherwise he would not be able to gain a firm foothold in the court.

Looking at Xu Qinglong opposite him, an imperceptible murderous intent flashed in the depths of Yang Li's eyes. When that adult comes back, he will definitely ask him when he can get rid of this old guy.

"Madam, I promise that I will treat you and the children well in the future. Please beg my father-in-law for mercy! I promise!" As a temporary measure, Yang Li had to bow to Xu Hanyan temporarily.

"Really?"
