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

Zhou Chuxuan shook his head: "I don't know either, it's just a feeling! But I want to give it a try!"

Looking at Zhou Chuxuan's cunning eyes, Xu Hanyan couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She felt a little scared when he looked at her: "Why are you looking at me?"

"Do you want to experience the feeling of divorce again?" Zhou Chuxuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an evil smile.

Xu Hanyan's heart sank, and she stared at Zhou Chuxuan with her beautiful eyes wide open. "What did you say?"

"You heard me!"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled faintly: "I want you to go to Yang Li's side, and I will also take the initiative to give up the position of crown prince! Truly become a person who poses no threat to anyone!"

"Are you going to resign from the position of Crown Prince?" Xu Hanyan's body suddenly tensed up, his fists clenched, and he lost his composure.

Zhou Chuxuan helplessly threw a grape over: "Don't be nervous, why do you only think about your position as Crown Princess all day long? The emperor is still in his prime and he is not dead yet! There is still a lot of time!"

"Only when my threat to everyone in the court is reduced can I truly step back and investigate some things!"

Xu Hanyan vaguely understood Zhou Chuxuan's meaning: "But how could you possibly remove the Crown Prince's position? This is something His Majesty has determined, and it can't be removed just because you want it to!"

"What if I end up in the same situation as Zhou Shaxuan before?" Zhou Chuxuan suddenly looked at Xu Hanyan, his smile slowly faded, and his finger gently pointed at his lower body.

"you!"

Xu Hanyan's throat rolled and she swallowed lightly. Zhou Shaxuan was completely infertile before, so he had to find a substitute to find a solution. Now Zhou Chuxuan is going to do the same?

"That's right! That's right! If a person who has lost his fertility still sits on the throne of the crown prince, unable to continue the bloodline and the family line for the Wu Dynasty, that won't do!"

Zhou Chuxuan didn't seem to worry about his reputation at all, and he remained calm: "Not to mention whether my father would agree, the civil and military officials would definitely not agree!"

"From now on, I won't have to stay in the East Palace. Instead, I can have my own mansion and accumulate my own strength! However, this move is very dangerous. If you don't want to accompany me, then I won't force you!"

Zhou Chuxuan said softly. He knew how much damage his move would do to Xu Hanyan's reputation. In this dynasty, if a woman was divorced twice by the same man, it could even become a topic of conversation for countless people for ten years after dinner.

Xu Hanyan was silent for a long time, her autumn-water eyes gleaming with a bright light. Finally, she said softly, "Don't worry, I'm with you!"

"it is good!"

Zhou Chuxuan pursed his lips, nodded, and then smiled: "In that case, I don't know when Sister Hanyan and I will be separated, why don't we just have a good time tonight..."

"you!"

Silent all night.

The next day in the court, everyone was shocked by Zhou Chuxuan's words.

Emperor Wu looked at Zhou Chuxuan with a burning gaze, as if trying to discern truth from his expression. "Sixth Brother, why are you resigning the throne of Crown Prince? Among all the princes of the Wu Dynasty, you are the only one who has made great contributions and holds a high reputation in the army!"

Zhou Chuxuan bit his lip, pretending to have something to hide, and stood there for a long time without saying a word.

However, the Second Prince, Zhou Heguan, could no longer contain his inner fervor and directly jumped out and said, "Father, since my sixth brother is unwilling to be the Crown Prince, I, your humble servant, believe that I can take his place as the Crown Prince!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will not disgrace the Crown Prince's reputation. I will learn both civil and military tactics, as well as statecraft. In the future, I will definitely lead the Wu Dynasty back to its former glory!"

The corners of the mouths of civil and military officials twitched wildly, especially Xu Qinglong, who simply lowered his head, unwilling to look at this idiot Second Prince anymore. The real master hasn't abdicated yet, and you can't wait to jump out. Isn't it a bit too hasty?

Furthermore, His Majesty seems reluctant to see His Royal Highness abdicate. If you approach him now, wouldn't that just disgust His Majesty? Besides, how could the Crown Prince nominate himself?

A group of civil officials shook their heads secretly. This second prince was really hopeless. He couldn't think straight, but he still thought he was extremely smart. He only knew how to play with his own little tricks and calculations every day.

"Why would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince abdicate so suddenly? Is there something he cannot explain?"

"I think it might be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been under a lot of pressure recently. The Fuling Army, which was loyal to him, went to suppress the bandits, but there has been no news so far. He has been reluctant to disband the tens of thousands of troops stationed outside the city..."

"Shh! Silence! This is His Majesty's business, we'd better try not to interrupt!"

Emperor Wu frowned, his dignified gaze sweeping across the courtiers before finally settling on Zhou Chuxuan. "Sixth Brother, I want to know the reason! If there's no reason, I won't agree to your resignation from the throne! The succession of the Wu Dynasty is a matter of great importance, how can it be treated lightly?"

Zhou Chuxuan pondered for a moment, pretending to have thought it over carefully. He clenched and then relaxed his fists. Finally, he slowly raised his head and said softly, "Father, in fact, I cannot have children!"

"what?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the court was in an uproar. Countless civil officials and military officers did not care that they were in the Taiji Hall with Emperor Wu sitting there, and they all started whispering to each other below.

"This... How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have this problem? I've never heard anyone mention it before!"

"How is it impossible? How old was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before? He was inexperienced. It must be that after having sex with the Crown Princess recently, he realized that he was not capable of it!"

"What a pity! What a pity! Now, no matter how capable he is, he cannot be allowed to be the crown prince!"

"Yes, if the Wu Dynasty passes on the throne to him, wouldn't there be no one to carry on the throne? If that happens, how will the royal bloodline be preserved? Alas, we finally thought that the Wu Dynasty had a prince who was both civil and military, but in the end, alas!"

The second prince Zhou Heguan and several other princes were originally very annoyed because Emperor Wu had just glared at them, but when they heard Zhou Chuxuan's words, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but rise.

"Sixth brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you! This matter can't be delayed. Even if you don't become the crown prince, I still need to treat your illness!"

Zhou Heguan gloated, "As for the crown prince position, I'll keep it for you for now! When your illness is cured, I'll definitely give it to you. How about that?"

"Sixth brother, just listen to Second Brother this time. You can't let this problem go unsolved. Otherwise, who knows what other problems it might cause later?"

"That's right, Sixth Brother, curing the disease is more important!"

The other princes all echoed the sentiment, but without exception, they all had expressions of gloating on their faces.

"Father, this is not possible!"
