Who Is The Protagonist’s Best Friend? I Want To Be A Villain

"presumptuous."

When she heard her son say that she had committed herself to a thief, a flash of anger flashed in the Queen's eyes.

At the same time, she glanced at Cao Xu cautiously, fearing that Cao Xu would be angry.

Seeing Cao Xu squinting his eyes and smiling on his face, the Queen felt uneasy.

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will smash your mouth with my own hands."

He Qingyan said in a cold tone.

Hearing his mother's scolding, Xia Wu felt aggrieved, but he did not dare to say anything.

"Do you know why I called you here today?"

Cao Xu stepped down from the dragon chair and looked at Xia Yu and Xia Wu.

"I have said that I am not interested in the throne. I want to choose the position between the two of you.

After hearing Cao Xu's words, Xia Yu and Xia Wu looked at the dragon chair, desire flashing in their eyes.

No one does not desire to sit in that supreme position, especially those born in the royal family, who desire that position even more.

After the longing passed, Xia Yu's face suddenly changed and became very ugly.

If Cao Xu has the final say on the throne, wouldn't it mean that Xia Wu has an advantage? Queen He Qingyan has already committed herself to Cao Xu, so what chance does he have?

At this time, Xia Yu even felt a hint of envy in his heart, if his mother had not died and was still the queen.

All I can say is that I am extremely filial.

"My father summoned me before he died and asked me to be the prince."

Although he felt there was little hope, Xia Yu still had to fight for it.

He understood that Cao Xu would not keep those who failed in the competition, and would probably die if they failed to become emperor.

"When, why don't I know."

Jealousy appeared in Xia Wu's eyes, and his face looked ugly.

"How can I tell you about this?" Xia Yu glanced at Xia Wu and said lightly.

What he said was not false. Xia Shengsheng had indeed summoned Xia Yu before and wanted to make him the prince.

Xia Wu's face became more and more ugly, and his expression became more and more unwilling.

His mother is the queen, so that position should be his.

"What he said is indeed true. Emperor Qian really wants to make him the prince and inherit the throne." Cao Xu glanced at Xia Wu and said.

"But Emperor Qian is dead, and I have the final say here."

After Cao Xu finished speaking, Wu's eyes finally burst into light.

"Kneel down and call me father, and I will give you a chance." Cao Xu said to Xia Wu.

"Xia Wu, what are you waiting for? Why don't you kneel down?"

He Qingyan quickly said happily.

Xia Wu's face showed a struggle. In the end, his desire for the throne defeated his insignificant dignity.

He knelt down on the ground and said, "Father...Father."

"From now on, please call me your prime minister."

Emperor Cao Xu doesn't plan to be the emperor for the time being, but he wants to be the prime minister. The prime minister obviously suits his surname better.

"Yes, Xiangfu."

Although it is humiliating to have a thief as your father, but if you have to endure hardships, you will not be without opportunities in the future.

Rumor has it that his father also knelt down to Prime Minister Wang Bo and finally sat on the throne, wouldn't he also have the power in the end?

Xia Wu had no idea that Cao Xu and Wang Bo were different.

At the beginning, Wang Bo had people who could check and balance him. The old general Chen Kuang and the Zongren Mansion were able to check and balance Wang Bo.

But Cao Xu has no one to check and balance.

"Xia Wu, you actually recognized a thief as your father, are you worthy of your late father?"

Xia Yu looked at Xia Wu with hatred.

What he hated most was not that Xia Wu recognized the thief as his father, but that he was not the one who could recognize the thief as his father.

Although he is older than Cao Xu, if he can become emperor, Xia Yu actually doesn't mind having a thief as his father.

"My dear, he wants to prevent you from ascending to the throne. What should you do?"

Cao Xu raised his hand, and a dagger fell in front of Xia Wu.

Looking at the dagger on the ground, although he was young, Xia Wu understood what Cao Xu meant.

"I can put you on the throne, but it also depends on your courage.

Hearing Cao Xu's words, Xia Wu was heartbroken. He immediately lowered his head and picked up the dagger, staring at Xia Yu with murderous intent in his eyes.

The royal family is ruthless, the royal family has no emotions, and Xia Wu and Xia Yu have no brotherhood at all.

Xia Wu even wanted Xia Yu to die quickly, so he didn't need to hesitate to kill Xia Yu.

The moment he picked up the dagger, it pierced Xia Yu's heart.

But Xia Yu did not sit still and wait for death. When Xia Wu lowered his head to pick up the dagger, Xia Yu had already taken action and slapped Xia Wu on the head with his palm.

However, when he was about to hit Xia Wu's head, his hand stopped and his body could not move.

Xia Yu looked at Cao Xu with hatred, knowing that Cao Xu did this.

Seeing that Xia Yu also wanted to kill him, Xia Wu became even more ruthless. After piercing Xia Yu's heart with the dagger, he still used the dagger to cut off his head.

"Being an emperor means being ruthless. Although you killed Xia Yu, you were not ruthless enough.

"Kill her so you can become the emperor, otherwise I will kill you."

Cao Xu pointed his finger at He Qingyan, with a cold murderous intent on his face.

"Your Majesty, why do you want to kill me?"

He Qingyan looked at Cao Xu in confusion, with disbelief in her eyes and fear in addition.

Cao Xu did not explain, but stared at Xia Wu.

Feeling the cold murderous intention, and looking at Xia Yu whose head was cut off by him and still clinging to death, Xia Wu felt a wolf in his heart.

"Don't blame my mother, I want to be the emperor."

Hearing Xia Wu's words, He Qingyan was even more unbelievable and angry.

Xia Wu was her biological son, but he really wanted to kill her.

Just as Xia Wu held the dagger and stabbed He Qingyan, Cao Xu suddenly kicked out and kicked Xia Wu away.

"Pfft~!"

Xia Wu spit out a mouthful of blood and dropped the dagger in his hand to the ground, his expression painful and ferocious.

"The Queen is not scared, right?"

Cao Xu took He Qingyan into his arms.

"Originally I wanted to make a joke with the empress and this boy, but I didn't expect that this boy is actually a ruthless master. However, since he doesn't recognize his relatives, he is indeed very suitable to be an emperor."

Hearing Cao Xu's words, He Qingyan felt relieved. It turned out that he didn't really want to kill her. He had really scared her to death just now.

After relaxing, the anger in He Qingyan's heart couldn't help but surge out. This anger was not directed at Cao Xu, but at Xia Wu.

He really dared to kill himself.

He Qingyan looked at Xia Wu who was kicked away coldly and angrily, with a coldness in her eyes.

Cao Xu had a faint smile on his lips.

He asked Xia Wu to kill He Qingyan not out of spite, but to turn mother and son against each other.

Originally, Cao Xu planned that if Xia Wu really couldn't take action, he would use the Heavenly Demon skill to influence the opponent and control him to take action.

Unexpectedly, this boy really wanted the throne and refused to be recognized by his relatives.

"Tomorrow is your enthronement ceremony, take him down to take care of it."

Cao Xu ordered people to take away Xia Wu who was lying on the ground. He also took away Xia Yu's body and cleaned up all the blood stains.

Soon, everyone in the Jinluan Palace exited, leaving only Cao Xu and He Qingyan.

"Please, King Wei, and I move to Kunning Palace."

He Qingyan said in a charming tone.

"Why go to Kunning Palace? I think the dragon chair is very good."

The corners of Cao Xu's mouth raised slightly.

Hearing Cao Xu's words, He Qingyan's eyes widened. She had never thought about being on the throne.

Looking at the solemn and solemn dragon chair, which was carved with golden dragons, symbolizing the royal majesty, He Qingyan felt inexplicably expectant.

"Have you never experienced it?"

Cao Xu asked softly in He Qingyan's ear.

Of course He Qingyan has never experienced it before, and now she really wants to experience it with Cao Xu.

"`~The King of Wei must take pity on the Ai family."

He Qingyan's body seemed as soft as if there were no bones, completely leaning on Cao Xu.

"That's natural. How dare I be rude to the Queen Mother?"

Hearing Cao Xu call the Queen Mother, A Qingyan's heart was filled with joy.

"Actually, it's not impossible to call you Her Majesty the Empress from now on." Cao Xu's hand wavered slightly.

Hearing this, He Qingyan breathed a little quickly.

"Empress?"

She had never thought about it before, but now Cao Xu's words ignited the fire in her heart.

If... I can get Cao Xu's support, it's really not impossible to become the empress.

Although the Empress Dowager is a good lady, even the emperor would like to greet her, but she is nowhere comparable to the position of minister.

"Xia Wu is still young. I, the King, can allow the Queen Mother to listen to the affairs behind the curtain and let you intervene in the affairs of the state."

"It is not impossible to elect you to become the empress in the future."

Cao Xu drew a big cake for He Qingyan.

As for whether she can eat this pie, it's hard to say.

But with this big pie, there is a natural conflict between her and her son Xia Wu.

Who wants to have a queen mother who can intervene in the government affairs and listen to the affairs of the country?

Moreover, Cao Xu also drew an empress cake for her. If she wanted to become the empress, Xia Wu had to go down first.

In order to fight for power and gain, even father and son and brothers can turn against each other, and mother and son are no exception.

What's more, under Cao Xu's plan just now, the mother and son were already in a position to turn against Wang Zhao.

Cao Xu has planted the barrier, and the next step is to see the seed take root, sprout, and grow into a towering tree.

The main reason why he did this was to make He Qingyan stare at Xia Wu.

After sitting on the throne, Cao Xu believed that Xia Wu would never settle down. Xia Teng would never settle down as a puppet in his previous life, and Xia Wu would definitely do the same.

The greed in people's hearts does not allow him to be just a puppet.

Now is not the time to think about these things. The most important thing to consider right now is taking care of the Queen Mother.

Taking care of He Qingyan on the dragon throne.

I don’t know if there is a knowledgeable Qianhuang under the spring. If he finds out, he will be so angry that he can survive.

An hour later, He Qingyan, with a blushing face, leaned into Cao Xu's arms.

"Does His Highness the King of Wei have any thoughts about the imperial concubine?"

He Qingyan asked.

What she has to do now is to please Cao Xu. Even if she becomes the Queen Mother, if she wants to gain power, she must rely on Cao Xu. This is what He Qingyan clearly understands.

If Cao Xu is dissatisfied, she may die violently if a glass of poisonous wine is given to her.

On the contrary, if she can win Cao Xu's favor, the empress may not be delusional.

Even if she relies on Cao Xu to become the empress, He Qingyan still thinks, doesn't a woman have to rely on a man?

Since we know that Cao Xu is lustful, we naturally want to give in to him.

"It's none of your business."

Cao Xu naturally has a way to control the imperial concubine Zhao Sujin, but he hasn't found the time yet. .
