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

Zhou Chuxuan walked out of the secret room, dusted off his hands, and lay down naturally on Xu Hanyan's bed.

Ignore the other person's disgusted look.

"The Crown Princess is so efficient!"

Xu Hanyan was in no mood to argue with Zhou Chuxuan, so she spoke in a low voice.

"We've found out. Deyun Dyeing Workshop is collaborating with the government, custom-making armor, flags, and so on for them."

"It was previously handled by an imperial censor, but later Zhang Kejian used some money to take the job into his own hands!"

"But your Majesty doesn't know yet!"

"A western governor controls so many things, and the emperor doesn't even know about it!"

Zhou Chuxuan shook his head slightly.

Although Emperor Wu was capable, he was never able to take care of everything.

He focused on external affairs of state and had no idea that his Wu Dynasty had been completely devoured by countless termites.

"There's one more piece of news!"

Xu Hanyan's face was heavy. "Although Zhang Kejian is now in control of Deyun Dyeing Factory, my subordinates told me that there seems to be an invisible black hand interfering behind the scenes!"

“I can’t find out who it is!”

Zhou Chuxuan nodded. To be able to find out this much, he must have taken a huge risk.

"No matter who it is, he's probably one of them!"

"how do you want to do it?"

Xu Hanyan looked at Zhou Chuxuan nervously.

"Of course we have to eliminate the forces in this area!"

"The claws have already stretched out in front of me, can't I cut them off?"

There was a hint of decisiveness in Zhou Chuxuan's eyes.

"But if you act so quickly, won't that make the Crown Prince immediately confirm that there's something wrong with you?"

Xu Hanyan frowned, obviously thinking that Zhou Chuxuan was taking too much risk.

"Don't worry, I'm a fool!"

"Everything I said was just off the cuff!"

Zhou Chuxuan's mouth corners curled up slightly in a strange arc, which made Xu Hanyan feel creepy.

Suddenly, Zhou Chuxuan stood up and blew out the candle.

"What do you want to do?"

"It's a dark and windy night, so of course we have to do something that will benefit the development of the Wu Dynasty!"

"You! Um..."

The next morning, Xu Hanyan and Zhou Chuxuan got off the carriage in front of Deyun Dyeing Factory.

Following behind were countless pairs of eyes, watching all this silently.

"This young lady...I don't know the Crown Princess. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has come to visit me. Please forgive me for my apologies!"

The shopkeeper has some good eyesight.

"Do you recognize me?"

Xu Hanyan's voice was so cold and clear that it made people feel as if they were in the coldest days of winter.

"I've been to the Imperial Palace before and had the honor of meeting the Crown Princess from afar!"

The shopkeeper bowed and nodded, "Since this person is able to follow the Crown Princess, he must be the Crown Prince, right?"

"Ok!"

Xu Hanyan nodded, her beautiful eyes scanning the dyeing workshop: "I have a batch of cloth that needs to be dyed today. I wonder if you can finish it?"

"No problem, of course no problem!"

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly: "Princess, your fabric is..."

"In the carriage!"

"Yes! Come, move the Crown Princess's cloth from the carriage. Everyone, be careful and be quick!"

The shopkeeper quickly gave the order.

"Crown Princess, Your Highness, why don't you move to the restaurant across the street? This place is dirty and I'm afraid..."

"No need!"

Xu Hanyan stood up and said, "I'll go sit in the backyard for a while!"

"Yes!"

The shopkeeper ran to the backyard door attentively and lifted the curtain.

When he turned around, he saw Zhou Chuxuan playing in front of a dye vat.

"Your Highness, that's not a place to play, that's..."

The shopkeeper was about to say something but was interrupted by Xu Hanyan.

"It doesn't matter, just let him go!"

Xu Hanyan waved her hand.

"Yes!"

Seeing Xu Hanyan say this, the shopkeeper said no more.

Zhou Chuxuan was wandering around among a pile of dye vats, when suddenly his eyes focused on a box on the ground.

It was exactly the same as what Zhang Kejian gave himself yesterday.

"Shopkeeper, I like this box. Can I take it away?"

Zhou Chuxuan raised the box and shouted.

The shopkeeper's body trembled, and when he saw that Zhou Chuxuan was holding just an ordinary box, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"If His Royal Highness likes it, take it!"

"Boss, is this a box you made yourself? It's really beautiful! It has two layers!"

Zhou Chuxuan looked at it carefully over and over again.

"Yes, Your Highness, I do have quite a few little gadgets in my little shop!"

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and squatted beside Zhou Chuxuan.

"So... do you have a bow and arrow?"

Zhou Chuxuan suddenly turned around and looked at the shopkeeper with blinking eyes.

"Cough cough!"

The shopkeeper nearly spit out a mouthful of tea and chuckled, "Your Highness, making bows and arrows without permission is a capital crime!"

"How could I possibly have a bow and arrow here?"

"No? Why did I just see one on the roof?"

Zhou Chuxuan pointed to the roof.

The shopkeeper's heart trembled and he looked up quickly.

There was nothing on the roof.

I immediately felt relieved.

You know, those people were in the cellar, and one of them just climbed onto the roof to observe in order to prevent any accidents.

Could it be that the bow and arrow in my hand was seen?

"Your Highness, were you dazzled just now?"

The shopkeeper put on a smile but was thinking about how to get Zhou Chuxuan away quickly.

This stupid guy is even harder to deal with than a normal person.

Who in their right mind would look at the rooftop for no reason?

Zhou Chuxuan sneered in his heart, but continued to play dumb on the surface, scratching the back of his head: "Maybe!"

"Then...I want to drink honey water!"

"Yes! Your Highness, please sit down for a moment. I'll get someone to get the honey water right away!"

The shopkeeper laughed twice and went to the back to get the honey water.

Zhou Chuxuan seized the opportunity and went around to the back where the cloth was dyed.

I found that the craftsmen were busy and there was nothing unusual.

But he did see a man holding a bow and arrow on the roof just now. Even if it was a fleeting sight, with his sharp eyesight, there was no way he could have been mistaken.

"Whose family are you from? This is not a place for entertainment, get out!"

A craftsman discovered Zhou Chuxuan and shouted to drive him away.

Zhou Chuxuan's heart moved, and he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm: "I want to try it too!"

“Let me give it a try!”

"Hey, who's this idiot? How dare you come here and cause trouble?"

The craftsman was furious and stretched out his hand to hit Zhou Chuxuan.

“Hey, I can’t catch it!”

Zhou Chuxuan dodged nimbly and kicked the craftsman.

He kicked over a large bucket full of paint, causing the paint to spill all over the floor.

“Can’t catch it!”

"You're looking for death, you little bastard!"

"Look, I'll catch you, you fool, and I'll beat you to death!"

The craftsman was furious and rolled up his sleeves to chase Zhou Chuxuan.

"come on!"

There was a glimmer of success in Zhou Chuxuan's eyes as he rushed around in front.

He took the opportunity to bang his head against the wall and stomped frantically on the floor.

Sure enough, I found a lot of empty places.

Those places have mezzanines!

Suddenly, Zhou Chuxuan found a small door in the corner and ran over.

The craftsman's expression changed: "Stop!"
