Imperial Study
Jin Linlin and Cao Jiao sat opposite each other. The atmosphere between them was extremely solemn, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Cao Jiao finally couldn't hold back anymore and lay down on the ground without any scruples, as if she was tired of this embarrassing situation.
Jin Linlin watched Cao Jiao's actions and secretly marveled at the remarkable effect of the cartilage tablets.
She couldn't help but think of the strongman who could tear zombies apart with his bare hands in the apocalypse, but now he was tortured by this small piece of cartilage and had difficulty even sitting up.
"Hey, are you sick?! It's been so many days, and you have to drag me into everything you do. I'm really fed up with it!"
Cao Jiao suddenly rolled her eyes, expressing her dissatisfaction and confusion without any concealment.
Jin Linlin raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile as she responded:
"Of course it's to torture you! Don't you like scheming and power? I just want you to see but not touch. How does that feel?"
To be honest, Jin Linlin herself didn't quite understand why she treated Cao Jiao like this, but the idea suddenly came to her mind, and she put it into action without hesitation.
When Cao Jiao heard Jin Linlin's words, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She glared at Jin Linlin viciously, wishing she could pounce on her and bite her immediately.
"Please take off the cartilage piece for me! This is really too uncomfortable." Cao Jiao's voice was pleading.
Seeing this, Jin Linlin not only did not show any sympathy, but smiled even more brightly, even showing her gums.
"That won't do! You're so strong, what if you suddenly attack me? I can't take that risk."
Cao Jiao's face was filled with sorrow, and she sighed deeply, as if the helplessness in her heart had been suppressed to the extreme. Her voice was a little tired and weak:
"Either send me back to that dark prison, or give me the antidote to free me from this painful torture."
Jin Linlin stood in front of Cao Jiao, pinching her chin expressionlessly, and said indifferently:
"The news of victory in the attack on Yan State is coming soon. Don't you want to hear it? You left Yanzhou without permission, and without many capable generals around you. I'm afraid Yanzhou will be easily conquered!"
A flash of surprise flashed across Cao Jiao's eyes, but it was quickly covered by her sneer. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and responded sarcastically:
"Do you think I care about the war in Yan State? What does this have to do with me?"
Seeing this, Jin Linlin was not angered by Cao Jiao's attitude, but moved closer to her:
"Stop being so stubborn. The only people you really care about are Jiang Shuyan and Erbao."
Cao Jiao's body trembled slightly, and she was silent for a moment. Her eyes became a little complicated, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, her tone finally softened a little:
"What exactly do you want to do with our family of three?"
Jin Linlin leaned back in her chair and responded leisurely:
"You should be very clear that from the moment you used Dabao and Nianchu to threaten me, you were doomed to have no good end."
Cao Jiao thought of what she had done, and a wave of regret welled up in her heart. She lowered her head and muttered to herself:
"Dabao and Nianchu must be very resentful of me, right? I was really possessed at the time and didn't mean to hurt them."
The corners of Jin Linlin's mouth rose slightly, outlining a sly smile, and her eyes flashed with a hint of calculation.
"I will give him a taste of his own medicine."
Jin Linlin said softly, her voice was soft but full of determination and confidence.
Cao Jiao, who was standing by, couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this, her face filled with astonishment. She quickly waved her hands and said anxiously:
"No, Erbao can't stand us tossing him like this."
However, Jin Linlin didn't seem to take Cao Jiao's words to heart. Her eyes were still fixed on the tripod, and the smile on her lips became more sinister.
Just as the former best friends were arguing fiercely, the door of the palace was suddenly pushed open and Dabao and Jin Nianchu walked in.
Since taking the Five Qi Pill, the two little guys' kung fu has improved by leaps and bounds. Especially Dabao, who is born with supernatural power, and with the magical effect of the Five Qi Pill, despite his young age, he has become an expert among experts.
"Mother Queen, my brother and I are here to have dinner with you."
Jin Nianchu shouted happily, her voice was clear and pleasant, like a silver bell.
Jiang Jingxing followed behind Jin Nianchu. Although there was not much expression on his face, his deep eyes revealed a calmness that was inconsistent with his age.
The two of them approached, and when they saw Cao Jiao lying on the ground, Jin Nianchu's brows furrowed slightly, clearly disliking Cao Jiao. However, out of courtesy, she still stepped forward and saluted Cao Jiao.
When Jin Linlin saw Dabao, a subtle smirk flashed across her eyes. She pointed at the huge tripod in the center of the hall:
"Dabao, come here and help my aunt move this tripod outside."
The tripod looked quite heavy, as if made of steel, giving it an air of indestructibility. A rough estimate put its weight at around a thousand kilograms.
When we first brought it in, it took a lot of effort! It took ten people working together to barely move it a little bit.
"Yes, Second Aunt, please stay away, I won't hurt you!"
Cao Jiao shouted hurriedly, muttering to herself, what on earth is this going to do?
However, what happened next left her speechless, she couldn't believe her eyes at all. She saw Dabao effortlessly lift the thousand-pound tripod with one hand, and then carried it outside as easily as if it were a chicken.
