Zhong Yiliu didn't want her to get involved in the Independent Continent's mess, but Qiao Nian just plunged into it headlong and seemed determined to take care of it to the end.
"How would Master Ye manage you? If it was Lu Zhi..."
He stopped talking midway.
The remaining half is obvious.
Today, the person around Qiao Nian will be replaced by Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi will definitely not let her get involved.
What he said caused Qiao Nian's fingertips to touch the edge of the lighter again. She almost wanted to take it out, but accidentally touched the corner of the candy wrapper.
She took out two candies from her pocket, threw one to Zhong Yiliu, and tore open the candy wrapper of the candy in her hand and put it into her mouth.
This is a watermelon-flavored fruit candy.
The taste is sweet.
It just happened to suppress the sharp buzzing sound of her nerves, and the bloodshot in Qiao Nian's eyes faded a lot, and she looked just a little sleepy.
"Eat a candy first."
Zhong Yiliu had already caught what Qiao Nian threw to him, and saw the extra candy in his palm. He didn't react for a moment: "When did you eat this thing?"
He remembered that her pockets were filled with small pills.
Qiao Nian said casually: "Recently."
Seeing Zhong Yilu looking at her with a strange look, she continued, "Someone gave it to me."
No matter how dumb Zhong Yilu was, he knew who sent it.
He finally shut up, put the candy away, and said, "You know about Emperor Ji's condition. We've said before that he's poisoned. His blood is full of poison. With the current level of medical technology, he can only live for another year or two at most."
"What about your level?" The girl looked at him with clear eyes.
Zhong Yilu straightened his back for no reason: "If he cooperates with me, I can live for two or three years. If he doesn't... just ignore what I said." One year and three years... there is not much difference.
Qiao Nian frowned and thought about how the toxins in Ji Lingfeng's body had exploded. It was during that time when he was injured at sea that his body's immunity was poor, which resulted in the inability to suppress the toxins in his body, which led to a series of consequences.
Poison exists in itself.
But if Ji Lingfeng had not insisted on going out to sea that time, perhaps he would not have noticed the toxins in his body for eight or ten years.
Qiao Nian suddenly felt irritated and looked at Zhong Yiliu with dark eyes: "Is there no other way?"
"You said you don't care whether he lives or dies." Zhong Yiliu frowned again as he said this, and said slowly: "It's not that there is no way, there is another way, but that way is equivalent to nothing."
"Do you know snake venom?"
"Um?"
"There are hundreds of venomous snakes in the world, and each type of snake venom corresponds to a different inhibitor. Similarly, the poison in his body is the same as that of venomous snakes. If I can get the antidote or the original venom of this poison, I can research an antidote."
It would be best if there was an antidote.
However, many poisons in the world have no corresponding antidote at all, so it is necessary to research and develop antidote.
This is what the Pharmacy Guild does best.
Zhong Yilu himself is also a top master in this field.
He was confident that if he could get the original poison, he could develop a targeted inhibitor in a short period of time, which would be the right remedy for the disease. Not to mention detoxification, it could at least allow Ji Lingfeng to live a few more years.
"Do you know who poisoned the patient? If you know, you can find that person. If she is willing to give the patient an antidote or the original poison, the patient will have a chance to live for another ten or eight years or even longer..."
Qiao Nian looked at Zhong Yiliu and didn't answer the question directly. He rubbed his eyebrows and looked extremely annoyed.
Zhong Yiliu saw that she seemed to know who the poisoner was, but he did not ask further. Instead, he asked, "The person is inside. Since you are here, why not take a look?"
