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

Salem Meng and Yang Li slowly walked out from behind the screen and looked at each other. Finally, Salem Meng said, "He is an obstacle to our entire plan. Get rid of him!"

Yang Li was slightly startled. "Miss Salem, why is this happening? Why not keep him around and let him constantly rub shoulders with the Martial Emperor? This way, we can save time and effort, and we don't have to train another person to get close to the Martial Emperor!"

Salem Meng shook his head and had his own opinion: "Maybe we needed him before, but now, he has the cloth in his hands. We just need to kill him and then find a way to hand the cloth over to Zhou Wanjiang, and our goal will be achieved!"

"By then, Zhou Wanjiang will have no intention of governing the entire court!"

Yang Li nodded, agreeing. After all, Zhou Chuxuan had brought him a lot of troubles, and getting rid of him might not be a bad thing!

"Go ahead and do it cleanly!"

Zhou Heng took the order and left.

Not long after, Zhou Heng walked out with a pot of wine in his hand. He entered Zhou Chuxuan's room and stuffed it into Zhou Chuxuan's hand: "Come here, sixth brother, I offended Miss Nangong before. I want to use this pot of wine to make amends!"

"You and I, brothers, have a drink together today!"

Zhou Chuxuan looked at Zhou Heng in surprise: "Fifth brother, we are going out tonight. It would be inappropriate to get drunk now."

Zhou Heng waved his hand, took two cups from the table, poured one for each of them, and then pushed the cup to Zhou Chuxuan: "What are you afraid of? It's just some fruit wine, it's nothing! Don't worry, this kind of wine, even if we have another pot, it won't affect our going out tonight!"

Seeing Zhou Heng say this, Zhou Chuxuan did not refuse anymore: "In that case, then I will respectfully obey your command! Miss Nangong, would you like to have a drink too?"

Looking at Zhou Chuxuan's expression, Nangong Yanling understood: "No need, I'll go out first!"

Soon, there were only two people left in the room.

Zhou Chuxuan and the other man toasted each other, and after three rounds of drinking, they were already tipsy. Zhou Heng, who had just said he would not get drunk, had a blush on his face.

"Sixth brother, listen to me!"

Zhou Chuxuan's mouth twitched. Sure enough, most people behave like this when they're drunk. Listen to me, listen to me analyze it for you...

"Fifth brother, go ahead and talk. I'm listening!"

Zhou Heng half-closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Sixth brother, you said that although none of us brothers have done anything significant, you have become the best! Whether it's court affairs or frontier military affairs, you have managed them in an orderly manner!"

"Second brother isn't bad either. No matter what, Father can't pass the throne to an outsider, right? That bastard is nothing more than a bastard of the Wu Dynasty and a small country in the Western Regions. How could he possibly be part of the royal family?"

Zhou Chuxuan chuckled. "Fifth brother, this is all Father's decision. I'm afraid you can't interfere! Besides, I can't have children and can't carry on the Wu Dynasty's lineage. I can't let the Wu Dynasty die out in my generation, can I?"

"Alas! Despite this, the bloodline of the Wu Dynasty cannot be cut off. Which of us brothers can't do it? Why do we have to find a bastard from outside to be the crown prince? I really don't know what father is thinking!"

Zhou Heng seemed to have a bit more complaints at this time, and kept shaking his head: "Although I don't want to enter the court and manage all those miscellaneous affairs, I will not watch a bastard take over the court!"

"From what Fifth Brother said, he wants to compete with Yang Li for the position of Crown Prince?"

Zhou Chuxuan pinched his chin, observing Zhou Heng's reaction, and sneered in his heart, let's see what bullshit you want to talk to me today!

As for today's wine, Zhou Chuxuan knew there was something wrong with it, so at the beginning he used the fish-raising method from his previous life and spit out the wine in his mouth silently!

"Fight? No fight!" Zhou Heng waved his hands repeatedly. "Unless none of us brothers fight for it, and Father really wants to pass the throne to that guy a hundred years later, then I will fight for it with my life! Otherwise, if he becomes the Martial Emperor, how can we brothers have a good life?"

"What do you mean, Fifth Brother?" Zhou Chuxuan took another sip of wine in front of the other party. In fact, the moment he covered it with his sleeve, he had already spit out the wine from the corner of his mouth.

"Then let me put it this way. If you, Sixth Brother, became the emperor, would you attack us brothers?"

Zhou Chuxuan shook his head: "Fifth brother, don't worry, I definitely won't! If you brothers want to be in power, I will give you the corresponding power. If you brothers want to live a carefree life, I will give you fiefdoms, houses, and salaries, so that you can live freely and comfortably!"

"Isn't that the end of it?" Zhou Heng seemed to be really drunk, constantly dancing and gesticulating. "But what will happen if that bastard becomes the Martial Emperor? He doesn't have the same surname as us, and we have no blood relationship at all. He will definitely spare no effort to suppress us, and even deliberately try to kill us!"

Zhou Chuxuan chuckled. "Although Fifth Brother's worries are not without reason, Yang Li hasn't revealed any wolfish ambitions yet. Fifth Brother, just talk to me privately about this. Don't say it outside!"

"I know, I know!"

Zhou Heng's head became lower and lower, and he finally fell asleep on the table. No matter how Zhou Chuxuan tried to pull him up, he couldn't get up.

"Fifth brother, your alcohol tolerance is not good! You said you wouldn't get drunk even if you had another pot, but this is less than one pot! How can you and I go to Lotus Mountain tonight?"

Zhou Chuxuan stood up, then suddenly, leaning on the table, slowly sat down again: "Fifth brother, why is my head so dizzy?"

As he spoke, Zhou Chuxuan lay on the table and pretended to faint.

Sure enough, less than a cup of tea later, Zhou Heng opposite slowly sat up, looked at Zhou Chuxuan lying on the table, and couldn't help but sneered.

"Sixth brother, you can't blame Fifth Brother for this! It was you who insisted on throwing yourself into the tiger's mouth. If you had been a leisurely prince in the capital, perhaps you could have lived longer!"

Zhou Heng came forward and used his fingers to feel Zhou Chuxuan's breath under his nostrils. After confirming that Zhou Chuxuan was no longer breathing, he slowly lay down in his position and pretended to be unconscious.

Nangong Yanling, Han Bin and others who were waiting outside were extremely anxious.

Ma Sandao paced back and forth in the yard. "These two can drink too much, right? We agreed to go to Lotus Mountain tonight, but they're still drinking now?"

"The sun is almost setting!"

"Miss Nangong, do you want to go in and take a look? Why does it sound so quiet in there?" Han Bin frowned and pointed at the door.

"it is good!"

Nangong Yanling ran out shortly after entering, his face pale: "Oh no!"
