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

In front of the Forbidden City, Zhou Shaxuan knelt there alone, his eyes revealing depth and coldness as he stared straight ahead.

Countless people gathered behind him, looking at Zhou Shaxuan in confusion.

"Who is this? Why is he kneeling in front of the palace? Is there some injustice?"

"I don't think so. This person must be someone extraordinary, otherwise why would the palace guards not stop him?"

"Look, there seems to be writing on the ground in front of him!"

With a shout, a brave man slowly approached, took a look at the words in front of Zhou Shaxuan, and immediately gasped.

"What's written on it?"

"Oh, oh, oh...it says on it that he is the real prince, and now he has returned to the court. The one in the palace is a substitute! Please, please, Your Majesty, make the decision!"

"What? Is the current crown prince in the palace really fake?"

"Why hasn't anyone from the royal family come out to explain?"

As they were talking, the second prince Zhou Heguan led a group of palace maids and walked out of the palace quickly, with joy in his eyes.

As soon as he came up, he hugged Zhou Shaxuan and shouted, "Sixth brother, you have suffered so much over the years!"

"Second brother didn't expect that there was actually a fake in the East Palace. Come with me, we will go to the East Palace now and settle the score with that fake!"

Seeing the Second Prince Zhou Heguan's sincere expression, the people began to discuss: "It seems that this prince must be real!"

"Yes, then the fake prince in the palace will be in trouble!"

There was no emotion in Zhou Shaxuan's eyes as he was being hugged, and there was even a hint of murderous intent in the depths of his eyes.

This Zhou Heguan bullied me a lot when he was young. If time passes, I will chop off his head with my own hands!

"Sixth brother, please don't kneel here, or else the emperor will be so distressed. Come quickly, follow me to see the emperor!"

Zhou Heguan said as he pulled Zhou Shaxuan up from the ground: "Where are the clothes you prepared for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Bring them up quickly!"

"Come on, let's go take a bath. Your Highness the Crown Prince has suffered a lot these years out there!"

"Here!"

Zhou Shaxuan returned to the second prince's mansion surrounded by Zhou Heguan and a group of palace maids.

Little did they know that all this fell into Zhou Chuxuan's eyes.

On the roof of the East Palace, Erhu looked at the cylinder in Zhou Chuxuan's hand and couldn't help but feel curious: "What is this?"

Zhou Chuxuan rolled his eyes at him and said, "You should call me Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Then he handed the telescope to Erhu: "You keep an eye on it here, and report to me immediately if anything happens!"

Erhu took the telescope and put it close to his eyes. He was shocked and looked at it over and over again, holding it in his hands as if it were a treasure.

Zhou Chuxuan got off the roof and returned to his bedroom with a solemn expression.

The real fight is about to begin!

"He's back?" The embroiderer beside the table slowly stood up, clenched her fists tightly, and there was a deep fear in her eyes.

Zhou Chuxuan nodded: "Don't be afraid! It's still unclear who is real and who is fake!"

"You can't beat him! Now is the time to find a chance to escape from here!"

The embroiderer was silent for a long moment, then suddenly whispered, "I've watched him grow up. He's a sinister and vicious person, and he'll do anything to get what he wants. I wonder how much power he's accumulated over the years!"

Zhou Chuxuan did not answer, but hid the grenade at his waist and the musket in his sleeve, waiting for Emperor Wu to come and summon him.

......

"What? Father claims to be ill?"

Zhou Heguan jumped up from his chair and glared at the guards: "Doesn't the emperor know that my sixth brother has returned?"

"Your Highness, I have already informed the eunuch, and His Majesty should be aware of it! But I really don't know why His Majesty is claiming to be ill!"

The guard lowered his head and spoke with a lack of confidence, simply because he was assigned by Emperor Wu to keep an eye on Zhou Heguan and not let him go out.

As a result, Zhou Heguan once again disobeyed Emperor Wu's order and ran away. The guard was afraid that Emperor Wu would get angry and kill him first.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Heguan angrily slammed his palm on the table: "Father, what does this mean? Don't you want to be a serious prince? Let that fake get away with it?"

“Get out!”

"Yes Yes!"

"Why are you so angry, second brother?" Zhou Shaxuan walked in slowly after finishing his shower. There was no trace of a smile on his handsome and fair face.

The two palace maids beside him were carefully wiping Zhou Shaxuan's hair.

Zhou He looked into Zhou Shaxuan's eyes, his heart palpitating for no reason. After recovering from his shock, he forced a smile: "I never thought that my sixth brother has become such a handsome, tall and strong young man now!"

"Those were childhood events. Second brother was also young. Don't take them to heart! Come, have some tea, have some tea!"

"I don't remember what happened back then!" Zhou Shaxuan took the teacup, gently licked it with his lips, but did not drink it.

"That's good! That's good!" Zhou Heguan rubbed his hands while trying to find topics to talk about with Zhou Shaxuan to get closer.

After all, this sixth brother has been replaced for countless years. He is no longer stupid and still poses a potential threat to him for the throne.

"Second brother, why did you get so angry just now?"

Faced with Zhou Shaxuan's words, Zhou Heguan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I just sent someone to the palace to report to the emperor, but he actually claimed to be ill?"

Zhou Shaxuan was slightly startled, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes: "Besides this, didn't you say anything else?"

"No more! Could it be that the emperor has something to hide?" Zhou Heguan scratched his head. "However, I have already informed the Xu family. They have people in the East Palace and will take action soon!"

"Could it be that the Emperor, Father, no longer wishes to recognize me? He actually allows a fake to roam freely in the palace?"

Zhou Shaxuan lowered his head slightly, his voice was a little weak, and seemed to contain sadness.

"Sixth brother, this must be because Father has his own considerations! Don't worry, if Father doesn't make the decision for you, then Second Brother will!"

Zhou Heguan patted his chest and said, "Second brother has the Xu family surround the Eastern Palace and capture that fake prince. Then, through torture, we will definitely restore you to the position of crown prince!"

I've treated you this well, and you're not grateful to me? If I ask you to transfer the crown princeship to me, I'm sure you won't refuse, right?

Just as Zhou Heguan was daydreaming, a voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, the head of the Xu family is here!"

"Please come in, Master Xu!"

Zhou Heguan quickly stood up with joy and waved his hand to signal the two palace maids to leave: "Sixth brother, do you still remember Xu Hanyan?"

"Han Yan..." Zhou Shaxuan's eyes revealed a trace of confusion, but he finally nodded: "Remember one thing, she is my... wife?"

"Exactly! With the Xu family's help, that fake's end is nigh!"

Xu Qinglong walked into the room, accompanied by two burly guards. As soon as he came in, he closed the door and drew his sword.

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Heguan was startled and shouted with a frown.

"Oh! Acting is so tiring!"
