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

The corners of Emperor Wu's eyes twitched wildly. He finally discovered that the sixth son might be a potential talent, but it turned out that the sixth son had no interest in the throne. Instead, he was greedy for gold, silver and beautiful women.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now! War between the Liao Kingdom and our Wu Dynasty is inevitable. Are you willing to lead troops to defend the border and enhance our country's prestige?"

Looking into the Emperor Wu's deep eyes, Zhou Chuxuan shook his head: "Father, how can this son of yours have the talent to lead an army to fight? Please ask the generals to go to the battlefield!"

Emperor Wu looked at him suspiciously, and put down the hand that had just picked up the teacup. "Sixth Brother, the words you recited at the South Gate earlier didn't sound like the words of someone without military talent!"

"Father, that's just singing to the wind and moon. I don't have the talent to lead an army!" Zhou Chuxuan repeatedly evaded.

Are you kidding? If I transfer myself away from the capital at this time, wouldn't that be like falling into a dangerous situation?

As long as the real prince is alive, he cannot leave the capital. Emperor Wu is his greatest protection.

Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes and waved towards Xu Hanyan: "You can go down now. I have something to discuss with the Sixth Elder!"

"Yes, I'll take my leave!" Xu Hanyan was very tactful and refilled the tea for Emperor Wu, turned around and left, closing the door.

"There are no outsiders here now, Sixth Brother. You should be familiar with the situation of the Wu Dynasty. We are now facing internal and external troubles, and I am no longer as powerful as I used to be!"

The more Emperor Wu spoke, the heavier his tone became. His gaze was no longer aggressive, but calm and peaceful, even with a hint of vicissitudes. "The burden of the Wu Dynasty will sooner or later fall on your brother, Your Majesty!"

"Except for you, I don't see any hope in them!"

Zhou Chuxuan pursed his lips tightly, but in his heart he sneered and criticized Emperor Wu a thousand times.

In order to expose all his secrets, this old guy is now playing the emotional card. If he really believes what this old guy says, he will probably soon become a puppet in his hands.

What about being old and no longer as charming as before? That’s all bullshit!

"Father, I believe that my second brother is extremely intelligent and older. With a little development of his abilities, he will be the perfect candidate to take over the Wu Dynasty in the future."

The corner of Emperor Wu's mouth twitched. That foolish and incompetent guy, who only knew how to flatter and slander others without any real ability, would destroy the Wu Dynasty sooner or later if he was left to him!

Seeing Zhou Chuxuan shirking responsibility, Emperor Wu sighed, "Since you, Sixth Brother, are unwilling to participate in military and national affairs, I cannot force you!"

Zhou Chuxuan had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Emperor Wu say, "However, I still have an important task for you!"

"The Liang Kingdom to the south is rich in resources and its national strength is gradually increasing. I have decided to send you to marry the princess of Liang Kingdom to strengthen the power of our Wu Dynasty. When the Liao Kingdom invades, we can also join forces to fight the enemy!"

"You can't put this off anymore! You must set off within two months!" Emperor Wu did not give Zhou Chuxuan another chance to refuse and stood up and left.

Zhou Chuxuan stood where he was, took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a gleam of light shot out.

It seems that within a month, the real prince must be completely killed to eliminate this hidden danger so that his safety can be guaranteed when leaving the capital.

"What did His Majesty say to you?" Xu Hanyan walked in slowly and closed the door behind her, with a complicated look in her beautiful eyes.

Zhou Chuxuan came back to his senses, smiled slightly, sat on the chair, and slowly poured himself a cup of tea: "Compared to this, I really want to know how Erhu and the others treat me now!"

"You should have figured it out yourself!" Xu Hanyan said coldly, "You exposed your disguise on your own initiative, which of course aroused their murderous intent!"

"Take action tonight at three o'clock!"

After Xu Hanyan finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but Zhou Chuxuan stopped her: "Our cooperation isn't over yet, and the Crown Princess wants to leave?"

"Can you really defeat them?" Xu Hanyan frowned, turned around and looked at Zhou Chuxuan in disbelief. "I admit that you have some tricks, but do you know how many people in the East Palace are the prince's subordinates?"

"The Crown Prince's message not long ago was that if you delayed his plan, he would kill you! I shouldn't have told you about the action tonight!"

Looking at Xu Hanyan's complex eyes, Zhou Chuxuan still calmly picked up the pastry on the table, stood up and walked slowly over, and stuffed it directly into Xu Hanyan's mouth.

He whispered in her ear, "Crown Princess, this shows that you still care about me, doesn't it?"

Xu Hanyan frowned slightly and pushed Zhou Chuxuan away: "If you are a smart person, you should make plans now while there is still a chance to escape! Otherwise, you will die!"

"Waiting to die? No no no!"

Zhou Chuxuan stretched out his index finger and shook it a few times, then leaned against the door frame and looked at Xu Hanyan with a grin: "They can't kill me!"

"What? Are you crazy?" Xu Hanyan thought Zhou Chuxuan was frightened and looked him up and down. "Did you know? Even the soldiers guarding the city are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's men!"

"If we attract the attention of the Imperial Guards, Erhu and the others will immediately retreat through the secret passage! Even the Imperial Guards won't be able to catch them!"

Zhou Chuxuan sighed, "Father has sent people to monitor the Eastern Palace day and night. Are they sure they want to do it under Father's supervision?"

"Do you really think that all those people monitoring you are His Majesty's men?" Xu Hanyan sneered, with deep fear in her eyes: "You don't understand the terrifying nature of His Majesty the Crown Prince, and neither do I!"

"We all underestimated him. I even naively thought that we could defeat him by joining forces with you! Now it seems absolutely ridiculous!"

Just as Xu Hanyan shook her head and sighed, Zhou Chuxuan suddenly took a few steps forward, grabbed Xu Hanyan's wrist, and forced her down on the bed.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Xu Hanyan's face showed panic, and she struggled desperately but to no avail. Zhou Chuxuan's strength had recovered about 60%, and it was easy for him to suppress her, a woman.

"My life is in my own hands! If he dares to send someone to take it, he must be prepared to lose his head!"

Zhou Chuxuan's voice was extremely cold, without any emotion, as if it was a demon crawling out of hell.

The dark and deep eyes with bloodshot edges stared at Xu Hanyan, which made him feel creepy.

"Just come with them. Don't worry, I won't touch you! But I will make them all regret it. I will make them feel that the prince is not a wise leader!"

"You're crazy! You're absolutely crazy!"

Xu Hanyan's mind went blank. She couldn't believe that Zhou Chuxuan was going to make a final struggle.

"Here's yours. If I smash the tea bowl, you'll pull the fuse!"

Zhou Chuxuan stood up and handed a firework to Xu Hanyan.

"Are you so sure I will help you?"
