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

"I really miscalculated. I slaughtered the Xu family, but forgot that you were still with Zhou Chuxuan. If I had killed you at the same time, would Zhou Chuxuan have gone crazy? Huh? Hahahaha!"

Salem Meng didn't show any fear at all. Instead, he laughed heartily as if he had lost his mind, his eyes full of disdain. "Zhou Chuxuan, at this point, you don't still want to get something from me, do you?"

"I tell you, it's impossible! The warriors of the Liao Dynasty will never bow to you, a group of Wu Dynasty people! Wishful thinking, now, kill me immediately, otherwise...ah!"

Before he finished speaking, a sharp blade appeared in Zhou Chuxuan's hand and stabbed directly into the wound on Salem Meng's right leg.

There was still a bullet lodged in the wound. When Zhou Chuxuan stabbed it, blood gushed out. Salem Meng screamed, his eyes flashing with anger: "Despicable, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Chuxuan said nothing. He took the sharp blade in his hand and stirred the wound carefully, crushing the flesh and bones inside bit by bit. The heart-wrenching pain made Salem Meng's voice fill the entire sky prison.

Even a different expression flashed across Canglang's resolute face.

Half an hour later, Salem Meng finally gave up his stubbornness. He was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. "No, no, don't go on! Tell me, what do you want to know?"

Zhou Chuxuan snorted coldly: "Sorry, I don't want to know anything from you. I just want to avenge Han Yan, that's all!"

"you!"

Salem Meng glared at Zhou Chuxuan fiercely. Obviously, she wanted to kill Zhou Chuxuan and Xu Hanyan, but she couldn't do it.

"Canglang, come with me!"

Zhou Chuxuan led Canglang out of the prison and asked in a deep voice, "How much do you know about the Queen Mother's underground palace?"

Canglang pondered for a moment: "That underground palace, even Zhou Wanjiang has never been inside. I only know the location, but I don't know what is inside the underground palace."

"Zhou Wanjiang doesn't know?"

Zhou Chuxuan asked in surprise. Obviously, this was something he had not expected.

Canglang nodded: "Zhou Wanjiang is not the Queen Mother's most proud son, but he is her most ruthless son. He got rid of the others and sat on the throne!"

"Therefore, Zhou Wanjiang and the Queen Mother's relationship is not very good. Especially after the Queen Mother and Prince Jin had a relationship, she avoided Zhou Wanjiang even more!"

"However, I suspect the Queen Mother's underground palace is more than just a palace. It's very likely that it leads to a paradise! Otherwise, it would definitely not be able to meet their daily needs!"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded. This was actually what he wanted to say just now. If he had built an underground shelter in his previous life and survived for ten years, it would not be a big problem as long as all kinds of daily necessities were fully stocked.

But in this era, it is basically impossible to live in a closed underground palace for ten years.

"Come on, take me to that underground palace!"

Canglang nodded silently. He was only responsible for following orders and basically would not refute.

After entering the inner courtyard of the palace and bypassing the harem, Canglang brought him to an abandoned palace: "This is it!"

Looking at the palace that looked like a haunted house, Zhou Chuxuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Empress Dowager, Zhou Chuxuan is here to visit!"

As soon as the words fell, two palace maids jumped out from the abandoned palace, holding short knives and long swords in their hands, pointing them at Zhou Chuxuan: "What are you doing here? The Queen Mother's bedroom, no one is allowed to approach!"

Zhou Chuxuan sneered: "A bedroom? It looks like a goblin's cave, and you still dare to call it a bedroom?"

Although the two palace maids were extremely angry, they were also extremely wary of Zhou Chuxuan: "You wait here, we will go and report to the Queen Mother!"

"Please!"

Zhou Chuxuan watched the two palace maids walk into the abandoned palace, and winked at Canglang beside him. Canglang immediately understood and followed the two palace maids in a flash.

"Haha, you chose an abandoned palace as an exit, but I don't know where the other exit is."

Zhou Chuxuan pinched his chin and walked around the palace. He found that there were many inscriptions on it. After reading them carefully, he found that it should be the palace of one of Zhou Wanjiang's concubines.

Not long after, Canglang emerged from the palace and nodded towards Zhou Chuxuan: "Okay!"

"it is good!"

Canglang's work efficiency is still very high, and Zhou Chuxuan is very pleased about this.

After about half an incense stick of time, two palace maids came out again and bowed, saying, "The Empress Dowager invites you in!"

"haha okay!"

Zhou Chuxuan and Canglang walked in and, following the instructions of the two palace maids, opened the mechanism on the wall, revealing a deep passage leading downwards.

I don’t know how long I walked, but I finally saw a magnificent palace. The empress dowager was sitting in a sedan chair, surrounded by countless palace maids kneeling on the ground, as if praying.

Seeing Zhou Chuxuan and Canglang approaching, the Empress Dowager's eyes were filled with anger. "Zhou Chuxuan, what on earth do you want to do? I have already obeyed you. After returning to the underground palace, do you still insist on killing me?"

The Empress Dowager had already inquired about what had happened in the Wu Dynasty recently, and also knew that Zhou Chuxuan had a terrifying killing weapon in his hand. Knowing that she was no match for Zhou Chuxuan, she could only bow her head.

She never expected that as the most senior person in the Wu Dynasty, she would be threatened by a group of juniors and bandits after leaving the palace, and the ruler of the dynasty had already died.

The Imperial Guards and the Royal Guards are all controlled by others, which makes the Queen Mother very panicked.

Could it be that the foundation of the Wu Dynasty, passed down from generation to generation, will be destroyed in this generation?

Zhou Chuxuan chuckled softly, "Don't be afraid, Queen Mother. I came here this time to ask you if you want to completely break free from the control of Prince Jin."

At the mention of the Prince of Jin, fear flickered in the Empress Dowager's eyes. "You, you, are you crazy? The Prince of Jin knows everything about astronomy and geography, and is knowledgeable in all religions and cultures!"

"You are also proficient in divination, able to seize the yin and yang fortunes and steal the secrets of heaven. How can you say that you can get rid of King Jin?"

"I'm afraid that when you just said this, King Jin was able to understand through divination that you wanted to take action against him!"

Zhou Chuxuan smacked his lips in surprise. "But, Queen Mother, the method of delaying aging that Prince Jin passed on to you doesn't seem to be working. Look at your own body. Perhaps within ten years, you will die!"

"Do you intend to hide in this underground palace and linger in order to stop paying tribute to the King of Jin?"
