"She was worried about my strength, so she gave me cartilage tablets. However, I wasn't poisoned. I just felt weak and powerless. Otherwise, there was nothing serious."
Cao Jiao forced herself to cheer up and explained to Jiang Shuyan.
After hearing this, Jiang Shuyan frowned tightly, his eyes filled with worry:
"This cartilage piece is not so easy to untie. Now we are trapped here, what should we do?"
Erbao clenched his fists, his face full of anger:
"Mother, this is all your fault. We are relatives, so why did you go against her? Now the Kingdom of Yan is gone, and my position as Crown Prince is gone too."
Jiang Shuyan looked at his unfamiliar son and slapped him:
"Even if your mother didn't do these things, Shang Jin would have attacked Yan. It was only a matter of time. How can you blame your mother?"
Cao Jiao shook her head weakly. "I brought this upon myself. I can't blame anyone else. If I hadn't been obsessed with power, our family wouldn't have been in this state."
Jiang Shuyan disagreed:
"Whatever it is, filial piety is paramount. How can you blame your mother like that?"
Erbao didn't hear anything, his eyes rolled around and he asked:
"Dad, please beg Second Uncle. He is now the King of Shangjin, and he has been so kind to you. He didn't even use a prison cart to lock us up on the way here."
Jiang Shuyan sighed:
"I've thought about asking him for help, but given the current situation, even if I ask him, it may not solve the problem. Second sister-in-law has always acted decisively. Since she has locked us up here, she must have thought it over carefully and will definitely not change her mind easily."
"Yeah, Erbao, please don't mention this anymore. In the final analysis, it's all my fault. I did something wrong, and that's why you're imprisoned here with me."
Jiang Shuyan said with a guilty look on his face.
However, Erbao was not willing to give up, he still muttered:
"Are we just going to wait for death in this prison? I don't want to die!"
Erbao became more and more angry. How could they have ended up in such a situation? He complained indignantly:
"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, how could I be locked up here? Dabao has now been named King Jing, and Second Aunt loves him like her own mother. Can you please go and beg Second Aunt to let me out like Dabao did?"
Cao Jiao and Jiang Shuyan smiled bitterly after hearing Erbao's words. They looked at each other helplessly, both feeling that Erbao had been spoiled by them.
At this critical moment, Erbao only thought about himself, completely disregarding the lives of his biological parents. Jin Linlin was right, they really mistook fish eyes for pearls!
