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

Nangong Yanling shook her head and pulled Zhou Chuxuan back: "Your Highness, let's go back and talk! The walls here have ears!"

"it is good!"

When they returned to the room at the inn, Nangong Yanling said seriously, "Zhou Heng is indeed not simple!"

After listening to Nangong Yanling's description of what happened before, Zhou Chuxuan's expression relaxed a lot: "Haha, if there is a problem, it's easy to talk about! I was really worried that he would not be willing to reveal any clues!"

"Your Highness, what did you see outside? Why haven't you come back for so long?" Nangong Yanling looked at Zhou Chuxuan who had been in deep thought for a long time and said softly.

"The truth! Not just the truth about Xueyue Tower, but the truth about the entire Wu Dynasty!"

Not only Nangong Yanling was in the room, but Han Bin, Ma Sandao and others were also called in, even Murong Xue and Su Hongye were among them. Zhou Chuxuan did not intend to hide anything from any of them.

Nangong Yanling pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, you know too much now. The Emperor must want to get rid of you! Zhou Heng knows this, so he is trying to sow discord! Your Highness, think carefully, how many coincidences have there been along our journey?"

Zhou Chuxuan whispered, "Those pieces of cloth in the Lotus Mountain military camp look like they were prepared for us! Who are the true owners of those pieces of cloth?"

"Liao people!"

At this time, to everyone's surprise, Su Hongye spoke softly. At this time, Su Qiaoer had already taken off her shackles, and her emotions were very stable, not crazy.

Zhou Chuxuan nodded in agreement: "That's right! It's him! Back then, the only ones who could master these things were Xueyue Tower, the Wu Dynasty royal family, and the Liao people!"

"I'm now certain that the Liao people wanted me to get those pieces of cloth, to trap me deeper, to try to control me, or even to get rid of me!"

Nangong Yanling said softly, "Zhou Wanjiang has spent his entire life pursuing that illusory legend. If he learns that you have these things, he will definitely spare no effort to snatch them, even..."

Everyone gasped in unison. Each and every one of these guys were old silver coins, all pursuing their own interests.

Ma Sandao said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, why don't we just take these things and explore the secret ourselves? My brother and I will go back and mobilize troops and come back to aid you. Together with Miss Nangong's troops from Jiulong Mountain, we will have tens of thousands of people. What are we afraid of them doing?"

Han Bin immediately held him down: "Don't say anything, wait for His Highness to make the decision!"

Zhou Chuxuan pondered for a moment, a sly smile on his face. "Everyone, maybe I'm going to play a little bigger this time! If I die, and you give these cloths to Zhou Wanjiang, what consequences do you think will arise?"

"what?!"

Everyone was stunned, not understanding what Zhou Chuxuan meant. Ma Sandao slapped his thigh and said, "Your Highness, we are here. If anyone dares to lay a finger on you, I will kill him!"

"Bang! If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb!" Han Bin gave him a big slap and rolled his eyes. "Your Highness, what do you say we should do?"

Nangong Yanling was the first to understand Zhou Chuxuan's meaning at this time, and said softly, "Your Highness, what you want to say is, fake death, right?"

"That's right!"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled and nodded. This woman is really smart and can understand everything at once!

"Only if I die on Lotus Mountain, at the hands of Zhou Wanjiang, and Zhou Wanjiang gets what he wants, will the turmoil in the court subside temporarily! And they will all be exposed!"

Zhou Chuxuan slowly stood up and glanced at everyone: "Next, Miss Nangong stays, General Han stays, you can all leave!"

"Your Highness, you don't believe me?"

Ma Sandao pointed at himself in shock, seeming a little displeased.

Instead, Han Bin grabbed his ear and scolded him, "It's not that His Highness doesn't trust you, but you don't know the entire plan. If you were to execute it, your reactions and actions would be the most authentic!"

Zhou Chuxuan's lips curled up slightly. Having a subordinate like Han Bin who could understand his meaning at any time was indeed a capable person!

After everyone left, Zhou Chuxuan looked at Nangong Yanling and Han Bin seriously: "You two, what happens next will probably depend on you!"

At the same time, in another courtyard, an uninvited guest came to Zhou Heng's room.

Zhou Heng looked warily at Yang Li who appeared in his room, his brows furrowed. "Your Highness, what brings you here?"

"hehe!"

Yang Li sneered, "Stop pretending, Fifth Prince! Who among you has ever considered me the true Crown Prince? I came here this time to discuss cooperation with you!"

"Cooperation?" Zhou Heng shook his head. "I don't know what you're talking about! I came to Qingzhou to enjoy the scenery and find beautiful women. I never get involved in your court affairs!"

"If you want to seek some cooperation on matters related to the court, wouldn't it be better to go to the Second Emperor? He has a strong desire for power right now!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Yang Li sat calmly in his chair, seemingly unconcerned with Zhou Heng's tone. "Everyone says that the Fifth Prince Zhou Heng only knows how to fight crickets and walk birds. Alas, the people of this world have really misjudged you!"

Listening to Yang Li's words, Zhou Heng's face gradually changed. The cynical expression gradually faded away, and was replaced by a hint of coldness and murderous intent in his eyes.

"You are not Yang Li! Who are you?"

Although Yang Li was arrogant and domineering in the court, he did not give Zhou Heng the impression of being so terrifying, nor was he so calm and composed. Yang Li now seemed like a completely different person.

Yang Li's eyes flashed with a cunning light: "Fifth Prince, I am Yang Li! I am the real Yang Li! Not that waste!"

"It turns out that the Yang Li in the court is the fake one, and you are the real one!" Zhou Heng took a breath of cold air. Even that person didn't notice this.

"Of course, with that loser's abilities, how could I entrust him with such an important task as cooperating with the Fifth Prince?"

Yang Li snorted disdainfully, "Fifth Prince, there's no need to rush to reject our cooperation! Perhaps I can offer you unexpected benefits!"

"Are the people behind you the Liao people?"

Zhou Heng clenched his fists tightly, without any rebuttal or words, but his whole body was tense, and his alertness was raised to the extreme.

Yang Li now gives him a very dangerous feeling!

"That's fine! If my predictions are correct, everything you have now was given to you by that Liao man behind you, right?"

Looking at Yang Li's cunning eyes, Zhou Heng suddenly felt like he was being seen through.

Did he control everything about himself?
