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

"That's right! He's missing!"

The smile on Xueyao's face slowly faded, and a hint of solemnity gradually appeared on her face: "She disappeared! Not only her, but every owner of Xueyue Tower disappeared! None of us knows how they disappeared!"

"what?"

Zhou Chuxuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he felt a chill running from the soles of his feet straight up to his head. "Ms. Xueyao, as the current owner of Xueyue Tower, don't you know the reason? Or perhaps the previous owner didn't tell you anything?"

Xue Yao shook her head gently, her eyes filled with confusion. "No! Ever since I was appointed as the current owner, the previous owner disappeared without a trace. No one knows where she went, let alone whether she is dead or alive!"

"But my only suspicion now is that they may have all gone to the Liao Kingdom!"

"Liao?" Zhou Chuxuan frowned slightly. "According to what you mean, you mean that this secret was first discovered by the Liao people?"

"The first owner of our Xueyue Tower was born to a Wu Dynasty and a Liao Dynasty person, so this is my guess!"

Xue Yao suddenly stepped forward and came in front of Zhou Chuxuan. The faint fragrance on her body had already entered Zhou Chuxuan's nostrils: "Sir, I will help you with all my strength, just like I did at Tongfu Inn. But after you take control of the Wu Dynasty, promise me that you will send troops to the Liao Kingdom!"

Zhou Chuxuan pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Okay, I promise you!"

The people of Liao are fierce, barbaric and cunning, and they are determined to swallow up the Wu Dynasty. If Zhou Chuxuan comes to power, he will definitely get rid of this powerful enemy who is eyeing the Wu Dynasty covetously!

"Then, Miss Xueyao, should you tell me something I want to know?"

Xue Yao smiled softly: "In fact, sir, you have already guessed some of the truth, right? You are just waiting for someone to help you confirm what you are thinking!"

"Whatever information Tongfu Inn can obtain, my Xueyue Tower can also obtain! The Fifth Prince Zhou Heng is actually not from the Liao Kingdom, but there is a mastermind behind him who is controlling him! That mastermind must be from the Liao Kingdom!"

"As for the purpose of these Liao people, I think you should be very clear, my lord. That is to provoke internal strife in the Wu Dynasty, weaken the Wu Dynasty's national strength, and eventually swallow you up in one fell swoop!"

"As for Zhou Wanjiang, although he is willing to reform, he also knows about the stories of Wu Chao's ancestors and the first owner of Xueyue Tower. He is obsessed with pursuing those illusory legends and naturally has no intention of reforming!"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded, understanding deeply. The impression Emperor Wu gave him was not that of an incompetent emperor. On the contrary, Zhou Wanjiang had an iron-fisted approach. As for why the Wu Dynasty declined again and again, this was the reason!

His real energy was not focused on the development of the Wu Dynasty, but on pursuing the so-called legendary secret of prolonging human life!

"So, young master, be careful of Zhou Heng! He wants to stir up trouble between you and Zhou Wanjiang, causing unrest in the court. Then, he can easily dismantle the Wu Dynasty and allow the Liao people to invade!"

After hearing Xue Yao's words, Zhou Chuxuan took a deep breath, and Yang Li's figure flashed in his mind. He was afraid that Yang Li had the same purpose!

Before, he always thought that since he had declined the position of crown prince, he could investigate the matter in secret, but now he found that he was still in the open!

Zhou Chuxuan slowly clenched his fists, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

It cannot be broken or established!

Perhaps, he really has to give up some things and hide himself behind the scenes in order to completely uncover the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Miss Xueyao, perhaps I still need some help from you!"

Looking at Zhou Chuxuan's gaze, Xue Yao smiled slightly: "Sir, we are already in a cooperative relationship now. If you need anything, I will do my best to help you!"

......

Zhou Heng had a great time playing, so he stood up, yawned, and looked around, but found that Zhou Chuxuan was nowhere to be seen. He immediately looked at Nangong Yanling.

"Hey, girl, where's my sixth brother? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

It's been several hours!

Nangong Yanling slowly stood up and nodded slightly: "Master, I don't know either! Perhaps, Master was delayed outside for something?"

"Delayed?" Zhou Heng frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "Then forget about it! Girl, I see you're pretty, so why did you follow my sixth brother? Let me tell you, my sixth brother doesn't understand the charm of romance as well as I do."

"How about, girl, come with me?"

As he spoke, Zhou Heng actually walked forward slowly, with a hint of lust in his eyes.

Nangong Yanling frowned slightly and stepped back repeatedly: "Sir, please respect yourself! I...I am the prince's man!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Heng laughed out loud and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! My sixth brother's family is not without women, so they don't need you! Come on, how about chatting with me about love and romance? These women are all vulgar, and I just like your charm!"

"Come on, come on!"

Seeing Zhou Heng grabbing her wrist, a cold look flashed in Nangong Yanling's eyes. She immediately exerted a little force and tried to break free from Zhou Heng.

However, something happened that shocked Nangong Yanling. No matter how hard she tried, she could not pull her wrist out of Zhou Heng's hand. Zhou Heng's hand was like an iron hoop around her wrist.

Nangong Yanling's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and the light in the depths of his eyes instantly turned into panic.

Something is wrong!

If this guy is just a royal playboy, how could he possibly possess such great power?

No, this guy is not simple!

Zhou Heng didn't care about Nangong Yanling's strength at all. He quickly embraced Nangong Yanling in his arms and took off her mask.

"I rely on!"

After seeing that terrifying and hideous face, Zhou Heng was obviously shocked and screamed in fear. Nangong Yanling was horrified and was about to fight back with a hidden weapon.

At the critical moment, a cold voice appeared at the door: "Fifth brother, stop!"

Seeing that it was Zhou Chuxuan, Zhou Heng immediately stopped what he was doing and let go of Nangong Yanling. Nangong Yanling quickly put on his mask and returned to Zhou Chuxuan's back.

"Fifth brother, what are you doing?"

Looking at Zhou Chuxuan's cold and gloomy face, Zhou Heng was obviously a little confused for a moment, and his eyes were slightly strange: "Sixth brother, what am I doing, ahem! I just want to see the true face of this girl?"

"Have you seen it now?" Zhou Chuxuan's pair of cold eyes seemed to want to kill someone, which made Zhou Heng feel horrified and his hands were a little at a loss.

Finally, he laughed awkwardly twice: "Ahem! I see! Sixth brother, you have a really unique taste!"

After saying that, Zhou Heng immediately grabbed the clothes beside him and ran out the door like a flash.

"Miss Nangong, you're frightened!"
