Chapter 377 A Plan to Turn the Tide
Yuecheng opened the box with one hand.
Inside, the jet-black mechanical arm gleamed.
Yuecheng stared wide-eyed at Qin Jinzhi.
"Did you make this? When did you learn to make it?!"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "This was made by the Mo family aunt. The Mo family is good at defense. When it comes to the flexibility and applicability of this mechanical arm, no one in the world can surpass it."
Yuecheng immediately closed the box, a hint of anger between his brows.
"You used the favors you had with the Mo family to make a robotic arm for me?"
Qin Jinzhi nodded, "We need to use favors, right? What if they go back on their word if we drag it out?"
Yuecheng's expression turned somewhat cold.
"You know how much of a role the Mo family can play if we go to war with other countries in the future."
You'll need her help to get what you want to do!
Is this how you use favors? How did I teach you from a young age?
We can't do business at a loss! Return this item!
Qin Jinzhi pushed Yuecheng's hand away and reopened the box.
"If everything in this world can be bought and sold, what's the point of existence?"
As Qin Jinzhi spoke, she took the robotic arm out of the box.
"Since the favor has been given, this gift can't be returned. If you don't like it, then just throw it away."
Yuecheng, panting heavily, let out a heavy groan and turned her body away.
Yue Shu walked in at this moment, "I heard that Xiao Zhizhi made an iron arm for her senior brother, let me see it!"
As soon as she entered, Yue Shu let out a series of exclamations.
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!"
She asked in surprise, "How heavy is this thing?"
Qin Jinzhi threw the mechanical arm into Yue Shu's arms.
Yue Shu took it with some difficulty, and said with a pout, "It's so heavy! Can Senior Brother carry it? He's been so delicate lately, very fragile."
Qin Jinzhi shrugged. "That's a real shame."
Yue Shu put her arm inside.
Her eyes lit up. "It's beautiful. Why don't you give it to me? I'll take it home and play with it."
After hearing this, Yuecheng turned and glared at Yueshu before taking the robotic arm.
"This was made for me by my junior sister. You wish!"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and waved to the servant beside her.
The servant stepped forward and took off Yuecheng's clothes.
Yuecheng's severed arm wound has just healed.
Two servants carried the mechanical arm to Yuecheng's shoulder.
The other end of the robotic arm was slipped onto Yuecheng's intact hand.
All operations must be performed using this intact hand.
When not operating the robotic arm, the other intact hand can also move freely.
Although the severed arm had been wrapped in cotton cloth, the stiff metal pressing against the wound still made Yuecheng frown slightly.
Qin Jinzhi stood in front of Yuecheng. "Not bad, this iron arm is quite beautiful."
She looked at Yuecheng, "Senior brother, whether you can control this iron arm or not depends on you."
Mo Ziyuan said that although this robotic arm is well-made.
However, very few people can actually manipulate it.
The familiar process will continuously chafe your wounds.
Until one can fully adapt to and master the existence and operation of the robotic arm.
The pain involved is self-evident.
Yuecheng took a breath, then smiled and said, "What storms haven't I weathered? This is nothing but a little mechanical arm."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
The State of Jin enjoyed a brief period of peace, while the State of Chu was in turmoil, with everyone feeling insecure.
The struggle between the Crown Prince of Chu and the Ninth Prince has entered a critical stage.
Huangfu Su was flipping through the files in the princess's residence.
A palace servant came to report, "Princess, the Ninth Prince requests an audience."
Huangfu Su's eyes were filled with coldness. "What is he doing here?"
The palace servant replied, "The Ninth Prince said that you will know why he came as soon as you see this."
He then presented a letter.
Huangfu Su sneered, "Let him in."
This letter was none other than the correspondence between her and Qin Jinzhi.
Huangfu Nanfeng was pushed in.
The wheels of the wheelchair rolled across the gold bricks.
"I haven't seen my aunt for several days, and I miss her very much, so I've come to visit."
Huangfu Su scoffed and threw the letter at Huangfu Nanfeng's face.
"There's no need for us to put on an act. What? You think you can threaten me just because you intercepted the letter?"
Huangfu Nanfeng smiled and said, "Why would Aunt think that way? I just feel sorry for Aunt being deceived. I'm trying to help Aunt."
Huangfu Su looked at him with a cold smile, "Oh? Then I'd like to hear how you intend to help me, nephew?"
Huangfu Nanfeng lifted his shirt, revealing the scar on his ankle.
"Does Aunt know why she only severed one of my Achilles tendons?"
She knew that Qin Jinzhi had cut Huangfu Nanfeng's Achilles tendon.
At the time, she was impressed by how swift and decisive Qin Jinzhi's actions were.
Huangfu Nanfeng said with a smile:
"Does Auntie think she's quite efficient in her actions?"
Why didn't she just sever all my tendons and cripples? Would she have made me a complete cripple?
Huangfu Su took a sip of tea calmly. "Why?"
"Because she needs to find someone who can keep you in check."
If I were to be completely rendered useless, the State of Chu would soon fall under my aunt's control. With my aunt's intelligence, the State of Chu would be able to quickly rebuild itself.
So, all she ever wanted was to lock me up, waiting for the day I returned to Chu. Aunt, she's not helping you; she wants Chu to descend into chaos!
Huangfu Su raised his eyes to look at Huangfu Nanfeng and chuckled, "Using tigers to collude with wolves, and keeping each other in check, he is indeed a worthy opponent."
Huangfu Nanfeng laughed and said, "Aunt, you are a smart woman. Cooperating with her is like asking a tiger for its skin. Why not cooperate with me? In the future, we, aunt and nephew, can share this world together."
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Su revealed a mocking smile.
"Sharing? My nephew is probably still dreaming."
How can I allow others to snore on my bed?
If Qin Jinzhi knows how to use someone else's strength against them, then surely I will turn the tables on her.
"Huangfu Nanfeng, no wonder you lost to her, you're no match for her!"
Huangfu Nanfeng's face remained calm and composed, with a smile on his face.
“Aunt, don’t you think about your own situation in Nanlin? The Chu Kingdom is in turmoil right now, and you could lose your life if you’re not careful. He is your only child.”
Huangfu Su laughed loudly after hearing this.
"The only child? I can have a new child whenever I want."
Only the strong are worthy to be my successor.
He is blind in both eyes and heart. If he were to lose his life, I would fulfill my final duty as a mother and give him a grand funeral!
Huangfu Nanfeng smiled and clapped her hands. "I admire your demeanor, Aunt. In that case, I'll wait and see how glorious you are."
The palace servants pushed him away, but when they reached the door, Huangfu Nanfeng waved for them to stop.
"By the way, Aunt, I only copied this letter; I didn't intercept the letter you sent."
Huangfu Su frowned, and then heard Huangfu Nanfeng say:
"However, I changed some things in that letter. Jinzhi always holds grudges. If all her men die because of your letter, what do you think she will do to you? Use this as an opportunity to your advantage. I've learned my lesson, Nanfeng."
