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

"Second Miss, isn't it wrong for us to surround the Eastern Palace? If the imperial court investigates, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain ourselves."

The Xu family mobilized thousands of servants and soldiers to surround the East Palace.

Xu Moxue glanced at Commander Wang Youde beside him and said in a cold voice, "Commander Wang, what are you afraid of? The one in the East Palace is a fake prince!"

"We in the Xu family have so many people here to catch thieves for the royal family! What crime have we committed? Besides, Daddy has already entered the palace. I believe the Royal Guards will arrive soon!"

"Not only are we not at fault, but we have actually done something meritorious!"

"Watch everything carefully for me, don't let even a fly out!" Xu Moxue shouted coldly, with a fierce light flashing in her eyes.

My dear sister, you were the one who came here on your own initiative. I finally have a reason to kill you openly!

Ever since Xu Hanyan became the Crown Princess, Xu Moxue has always been dissatisfied and has always been unable to compete with Xu Hanyan in open and secret battles.

For a long time, endless resentment has accumulated in my heart.

"Haha, they are really patient! Not a single one comes out!" After surrounding the East Palace for a long time, no one came out. Xu Moxue couldn't help but sneer.

"Come on, crossbowmen, prepare to release arrows!"

"Second Miss, this... this is inappropriate, isn't it? We haven't received any orders, and His Majesty hasn't issued any decree. After all, this is still the Eastern Palace!"

Wang Youde suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, looked at the murderous Xu Moxue, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a gulp.

"Humph, I have the final say here! Those people in there are just a bunch of traitors, they deserve to be shot to death!"

Xu Moxue snorted coldly and was about to continue ordering the crossbowmen to shoot arrows.

At this time, a faint laugh came from the top of the wall: "The second young lady of the Xu family is so arrogant that she actually dares to shoot arrows at the East Palace?"

Zhou Chuxuan sat on the wall, holding a plate of cakes in his hands, and slowly put them into his mouth: "Based on this alone, the Xu family is guilty of a great crime!"

Xu Moxue's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered disdainfully: "After being a stand-in for a few days, you really think you are the prince?"

"Now that the true crown prince has returned to the court, you will lose your head soon. How dare you speak so arrogantly here?"

"The real prince? Who can prove that he is the real one and I am the fake one?" Zhou Chuxuan threw down a piece of cake slowly.

"Without the Emperor's decree, you dare to act so presumptuously at the gate of the Eastern Palace? Be careful or you will be charged with treason and murder of the Emperor!"

Zhou Chuxuan's words made Wang Youde, who was already hesitant, avoid looking at him. He didn't dare to contact Zhou Chuxuan and could only secretly gesture to let the archers retreat.

"What are you doing? Following my orders or his?"

Xu Moxue noticed these people's actions and was furious: "Shoot now! Otherwise, you can leave the Xu family!"

"Second Miss, I think you should wait for His Majesty's order!"

Wang Youde kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve: "If His Majesty really orders his arrest, it won't be too late for us to take action!"

"Hmph, is there anything to question? Can't you tell the difference between truth and falsehood? I command you to shoot, and I will bear all the consequences!"

As soon as Xu Moxue finished speaking, he heard the sound of running, which should be caused by someone in heavy armor stepping on the ground.

Turning around, he saw hundreds of soldiers in heavy black armor running towards him. The Xu family servants and soldiers did not dare to stop them and gave way.

The leader was an old eunuch, holding a jade ruyi in his hand. He walked quickly to Xu Moxue and asked, "Who told you to besiege the East Palace?"

Xu Moxue bowed and saluted: "Sir, upon hearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the court, we have come here specifically to trap the thief and prevent him from escaping!"

"Nonsense! This is an important place in the imperial palace. You bring troops here, do you still have His Majesty in your eyes?" The old eunuch was holding a jade ruyi in his hand, like a king. Xu Moxue did not dare to be presumptuous.

He could only bow his hands and apologize: "Forgive me, sir! May I ask if you are here to catch the thief? If so, my Xu family will definitely help you with all your strength!"

The old eunuch ignored Xu Moxue and walked forward, saying loudly: "Your Majesty, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to court immediately! The East Palace has its own black-armored guards to protect it!"

Black armor guard!

Upon hearing this, Xu Moxue immediately looked back. After feeling the other party's murderous intent, her throat rolled and her breathing became a little rapid.

The Wu Dynasty has two thousand black-armored guards, each of whom is an elite soldier selected from thousands of miles away, and the heavy armor they wear was made by Emperor Wu at a huge expense.

It cannot be penetrated by powerful bows and crossbows, and is truly invulnerable to swords and spears.

Behead first and report later, imperial authority has granted!

Two thousand black-armored guards, at their peak, could kill an army of more than ten thousand people. They were usually elusive, but I didn't expect to see hundreds of them today.

"it is good!"

After listening to this, Zhou Chuxuan did not hesitate and walked out of the East Palace directly. He looked relaxed and at ease, with no sign of nervousness at all.

"Take it!"

A hint of coldness flashed in Xu Moxue's eyes, and he waved his hand directly.

It had to be His Majesty's decree that was effective, and that was enough to force this villain to get out of the East Palace.

"How dare you! Stop it right now!"

The old eunuch shouted loudly and held up the jade ruyi, intimidating a group of Xu family servants and soldiers, and no one dared to step forward.

"Miss Xu, this is not your Xu family, and certainly not a place for you to give orders!"

The old eunuch's eyes were filled with anger: "Didn't you hear the emperor's order? Please ask His Royal Highness to go to Taiji Hall to discuss matters!"

"But, eunuch, how can he be called the Crown Prince? He's nothing but a fake!"

Xu Moxue's words were immediately interrupted by the eunuch: "How dare you! Without the emperor's order, who dares to call him a fake?"

"Go back!"

Under the intimidation of the old eunuch, the people of the Xu family made way.

When Zhou Chuxuan passed by Xu Moxue, he stopped and looked at her carefully. Suddenly, the smile on his face became extremely cold.

"Remember, you will definitely pay the price for your actions!"

It was clearly a smiling face, but it made Xu Moxue feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and she felt a chill down her spine.

It wasn't until Zhou Chuxuan's figure completely disappeared that Xu Moxue came back to her senses: "Asshole! How dare you threaten me!"

"Second Miss, what should we do? We've been surrounded by the Black Armored Guards!"

Wang Youde breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not listen to the second young lady and act rashly, otherwise he would definitely be punished.

At the same time, in the Second Prince’s residence.

Zhou Heguan collapsed on the ground like a noodle fish, his eyes dull and his body without any strength, as if he had just experienced something terrifying.

Zhou Shaxuan and Xu Qinglong, who were standing next to them, had smiles on their faces.

"Second brother, did you remember what I said?" Zhou Shaxuan squatted down and gently patted Zhou Heguan's cheek.

"Remember it, I will never forget it!" Zhou Heguan shuddered as if he had been electrocuted, and replied repeatedly.

"Very good! Next, we should enter the palace!"

Zhou Shaxuan stood up, but did not notice the strange color flashing in the depths of Xu Qinglong's eyes.
