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

Xu Qinglong's words made Xu Moxue stunned and she didn't speak for a long time.

"Ugh!"

Xu Qinglong's eyes were filled with turbidity. "That old bastard Li Nian made the right bet! I didn't expect that he had been colluding with that fake prince for a long time!"

"They won!"

"Dad, can't His Majesty really recognize his own son?" Xu Moxue gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with resentment.

She was just one step away, just one step away from capturing Xu Hanyan and getting rid of this annoying sister.

She is the Crown Princess of the Wu Dynasty!

The future head of the harem!

"Your Majesty, how could you not know?" Xu Qinglong sighed, "I understand now, I understand everything!"

"This is a guy who is even more terrifying than the real prince. He is so scheming!"

"Dad, what do you mean?" Xu Moxue asked in confusion.

"He truly understands the minds of His Majesty and the ministers! What the Wu Dynasty lacks is not a crown prince, but a capable leader!"

Xu Qinglong slowly sat down on the chair, his eyes closed. "To be honest, these princes of the Wu Dynasty are mediocre and unfit to handle important tasks!"

"But this fake prince is scheming, resourceful, and strategic, and he can even win the hearts of the people! With just one poem, he can inspire the fighting spirit of a group of generals!"

"It's rare!"

"His Majesty must have noticed this long ago. Therefore, all he wants is a loyal prince who can lead the Wu Dynasty!"

Xu Moxue frowned as he digested this huge amount of information: "Dad... How can Your Majesty guarantee that this fake prince is loyal?"

"Your Majesty must have his own methods!" Xu Qinglong suddenly opened his eyes: "This is not something we need to consider. What we need to do now is to take sides!"

"Dad, do we really have to stand on the same side with that fake prince?" Xu Moxue's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Xu Hanyan..."

"Mo Xue, from now on, he is the crown prince, and no one can shake his position! If you continue to provoke me and talk nonsense, I can't save you!"

Xu Qinglong looked at Xu Moxue calmly: "Just stay home and don't go anywhere! Let's talk about it after this storm is over!"

Xu Moxue shuddered when she heard this, and immediately remembered what Zhou Chuxuan had said to her before, as well as that cold look in his eyes.

......

East Palace.

Zhou Chuxuan's bedroom had collapsed, so he could only live in a side hall temporarily.

Xu Hanyan sat next to Zhou Chuxuan, looking at him who was still weak and unconscious, and couldn't help but slowly wring out the towel beside the bed.

Carefully wiping Zhou Chuxuan's slightly pale face, he said softly, "I never thought you could actually win!"

"Why, is the Crown Princess dissatisfied?"

Zhou Chuxuan's sudden voice startled Xu Hanyan. She quickly took away the towel in her hand, lowered her head, and looked a little evasive.

"When did you wake up?"

Zhou Chuxuan coughed lightly, then slowly sat up from the upper half of the bed, leaning against the headboard, a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Now, you are the real Crown Princess!"

"How did you gain Li Nian's support? Just with a few words? And Your Majesty, the real prince has already shown you the evidence, so why is he still..."

Facing Xu Hanyan's questions, Zhou Chuxuan chuckled softly, "It's simple. He's too scary, and his ambitions are too great! He's very difficult to control!"

"Emperor Wu wants the stability of the Wu Dynasty, Li Nian wants the throne, and those civil and military ministers just want a stable master!"

"This master is the prince. Whether he is real or fake is not important!"

Xu Hanyan looked at Zhou Chuxuan with a calm expression, and couldn't help but feel a sense of fear and dread in her heart. Fortunately, she didn't stand against him at that time.

"Have you anticipated today's outcome?"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled but didn't answer. He gently picked up the teacup on the table and said, "I'm thirsty!"

......

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister has sent someone!"

After two days of rest, Zhou Chuxuan's body had recovered to a large extent. Fortunately, he was familiar with the principle of explosion and was not at the center of the explosion.

Otherwise, he will not escape death.

"Li Feng? It seems that the Prime Minister has nothing important to do this time! Otherwise, why not send a smart person over?"

Zhou Chuxuan poured himself a bowl of tea and drank it all in one gulp.

"you!"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Li Feng's eyes, but he did not show any anger. After all, this man was now the real crown prince of the Wu Dynasty.

"The Prime Minister asked me to bring you a gift, saying you'll definitely like it! But, the Prime Minister wants you to do him a favor!"

"Oh? Tell me!"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled slightly, sat on the chair, crossed his legs, and stroked Xu Hanyan's white and soft hands.

"Beimo Alutai didn't keep his promise and wants to lead his troops south. He contacted the Prime Minister yesterday! The Prime Minister wants you. Please volunteer to lead the troops to resist Beimo!"

Zhou Chuxuan raised an eyebrow, instantly understanding: "Then deliberately lose the battle, retreat while fighting, lure Alutai's army into the Wu Dynasty, and cooperate with the Prime Minister to capture the capital in one fell swoop?"

Li Feng was horrified, his pupils trembling wildly: "You...how do you know so much?"

This strategy was worked out by the Prime Minister and several military advisors after a day and night of discussion. How come it was exposed as soon as they met?

"Is your Prime Minister so impatient?" Zhou Chuxuan shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty is in his prime at this time, and the Royal Guards in the city are also elite!"

"Even if Alutai's army arrives, you may not be able to capture it with the Royal Guards!"

Li Feng grinned: "The Prime Minister said that as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince helps, great things can be accomplished!"

"You want my musket and crossbow?" Zhou Chuxuan lowered his head and counted the lines on Xu Hanyan's hands.

Li Feng smacked his lips and exclaimed, "You are truly extremely intelligent and cunning, no less clever than the real Crown Prince. No wonder the Prime Minister values ​​you so highly and is willing to cooperate with you even if it means offending Xu Qinglong!"

Zhou Chuxuan raised his head and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment. It's great value for money!"

"So, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed?"

Zhou Chuxuan waved his hand: "Go back! I will do my best, but I hope your Prime Minister can keep his promise. It's not easy for me to survive until now!"

"Although I have no intention of fighting for power and gain, I just hope that I can live a good life!"

Li Feng placed a scroll on the table and said, "Don't worry! The Prime Minister said that if this is accomplished, you will become the King of Yizi Bingxiang, commanding troops and having your own fiefdom!"

"Receive the red seal and iron certificate to protect the health of generations of descendants!"

After sending Li Feng away, Xu Hanyan looked at Zhou Chuxuan nervously: "Are you really going to rebel with him?"

"Although the Wu Dynasty is corrupt and full of corrupt officials, Your Majesty is still wise and has the support of an elite army. You are afraid..."

Zhou Chuxuan hugged her gently: "Can you believe my words so easily?"
