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

At this time, the outside of the bedroom was surrounded by Xu Moxue and his servants and soldiers, and outside of that were the black-armored guards and civil and military officials.

Everyone wanted to see what decision Emperor Wu would make, and they also wanted to encircle the bandits and take the opportunity to gain some credit.

Xu Hanyan and Xiu Niang stood in front of the door, surrounded by Zhou Chuxuan's hundred or so loyal soldiers, holding muskets and crossbows, and forming a battle formation.

"You are all from the Yulin Army. Do you intend to betray the Wu Dynasty? This prince is a fake!"

Xu Moxue was furious when he saw that this group of people were stubborn and unyielding, but he was afraid of the muskets and crossbows in the hands of the other side and did not dare to take the initiative to charge.

If these hundred or so crossbows were fired at the same time, everyone present would be shot into hedgehogs.

"We pledge our loyalty not because he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is him! Who of you dares to approach?"

Lao Yang was wearing armor and standing in front, holding a musket in his left hand and a crossbow in his right hand, staring at Xu Moxue with a fierce look.

"good very good!"

Xu Moxue gritted her teeth, but she didn't dare to rush in until Emperor Wu's order came, even though Xu Hanyan was already standing in front of her.

"Sister, are you going to resist too? That's a fake! Don't forget, you're loyal to the real Crown Prince!"

"Come back! That fake is definitely no match for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xu Moxue still intended to deceive Xu Hanyan.

Unfortunately, there was only coldness in Xu Hanyan's eyes.

"boom!"

At this moment, a loud noise was heard from the bedroom, shaking the entire East Palace so much that it was about to collapse.

Everyone staggered and almost fell. After steadying themselves, they looked in astonishment at the bedroom that was engulfed in flames.

Most of the bedroom had collapsed and was engulfed in flames.

Li Nian and Xu Qinglong, who rushed over, looked at the scene in shock, stunned and speechless.

"Your Highness!"

Xu Hanyan screamed and tried to rush in, but was held back by the embroiderer: "You can't go in! It's dangerous in here!"

"If he dies, I will never live alone!" Xu Hanyan broke free from the embroiderer's hand and rushed into the thick smoke regardless of the danger.

"His Royal Highness!"

Lao Yang also exclaimed, and after instructing the others to guard the place at all costs, he turned around and jumped into the sea of ​​fire.

"Your daughter has gone in. Don't you want to go in and take a look?" Li Nian shrugged his shoulders, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Hmph, she's a traitor seeking fame. What use do I have to her? Let her die! Save the Xu family from bringing shame!"

Xu Qinglong snorted coldly and said coldly: "If you have time to argue with me here, why don't we rush in and rescue them now!"

"I'm not in a hurry! Let me take a look!" Li Nian put his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed, as if he didn't care about the life or death of the people inside at all.

Whether it is Zhou Chuxuan or Zhou Shaxuan, neither of them is easy to control.

Compared with the two of them, if the remaining princes become crown princes, it will be easier for him to seize power!

Therefore, Li Nian hoped that no one inside would come out alive.

Xu Qinglong snorted coldly upon seeing this and suppressed the restlessness in his heart. After all, he had the Second Prince in his hands, so he could only win and not lose!

If these two people died in there, the second prince Zhou Heguan is now his, and when he ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely benefit from the benefits of their Xu family.

All the civil and military officials showed surprise on their faces, each with their own thoughts.

"If His Royal Highness really died in there, what would I do?"

"Shut up and stop talking nonsense!"

Just as everyone was suspicious, Xu Hanyan and Lao Yang appeared, stumbling out of the collapsed bedroom.

Xu Hanyan was still holding the weak Zhou Chuxuan in her arms.

Xu Qinglong's eyes suddenly focused and he stepped forward quickly, but was stopped by a group of veterans. He could only look at Xu Hanyan from a distance.

"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here!"

Xu Hanyan coughed lightly a few times and tried to stand up straight. A sense of confidence that she had never felt before arose in her heart.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here. The villain intended to harm me, but was eliminated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Another one died?

The expressions of the civil and military officials changed wildly. Many of them had connections with the real Crown Prince.

Old Sheep seized the opportunity, stepped forward and said loudly: "I kowtow to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Haha, you are just a common man, and you still want to stir up trouble here? Get out of here as soon as possible!" Xu Moxue snorted coldly and was about to call his servants to take action.

"I'm here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

An old but steady and powerful voice was heard, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Prime Minister, what are you doing?"

"Prime Minister, this is the fake prince. Why are you kneeling before him?"

"Prime Minister, you..."

Xu Qinglong also looked at Li Nian as if he had seen a ghost: "Old man, are you confused? He is not a..."

Xu Qinglong suddenly stopped talking halfway, his eyes trembling wildly, as if he realized something.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Xu Qinglong immediately bowed.

Seeing that Li Nian and Xu Qinglong both saluted Zhou Chuxuan, most of the civil and military officials seemed to understand something and saluted as well.

"We pay our respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Dad, what are you doing? He is fake, he is fake!" Xu Moxue shouted excitedly, completely unaware of Xu Qinglong's gloomy expression.

"Miss Xu, do you still want to do something bad to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Lao Yang pointed the crossbow in his hand at Xu Moxue.

"You, you guys!"

"Get out!"

Xu Qinglong roared in a low voice and pulled Xu Moxue back to his side.

"Dad, why is this happening?"

Seeing Xu Moxue's stubborn expression, Xu Qinglong was furious. However, he couldn't vent his anger here, so he could only whisper, "Let's talk about it when we get back! From now on, don't talk anymore!"

"The Emperor has arrived!"

The old eunuch's thin, sharp voice caused everyone to kneel on the ground: "Long live the emperor!"

Emperor Wu slowly descended from the dragon chariot and looked at the collapsed palace, his face expressionless. "Sixth Brother, are you alright?"

Zhou Chuxuan struggled out of Xu Hanyan's arms and knelt on the ground to salute: "Father, your son is fine!"

"Well, now that the villain has been eliminated, you should all return to your positions and refrain from causing any more trouble!"

Emperor Wu gave some instructions, turned around, got on the dragon chariot and left.

There was a strange light flashing in Xu Qinglong's eyes. I'm afraid that the Wu Dynasty is really going to change this time!

One of the two princes has come out!

......

"Dad, why is this happening? Why should we bow to that fake? It's obviously fake!"

As soon as she got home, Xu Moxue couldn't wait to ask, however, all she got in response was a loud slap in the face.

"Snapped!"

Xu Moxue stared at Xu Qinglong in a daze, covering her red and swollen cheeks, not knowing what was going on: "Dad, you..."

"Do you know that you almost killed our Xu family?"

Xu Qinglong shook his head in frustration and said, "If only one of the two princes survives, does it really matter who is real and who is fake?"
