Madam’s Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3488: If You Know The Person Who Poisoned You, You Still Have a Chance

Zhong Yiliu didn’t want her to get involved in the matter of the independent continent. However, Qiao Nian had fallen into it and looked like she wanted to interfere to the end.

“How does that Young Master Ye manage you? If it was Lu Zhi…”

He stopped mid-sentence.

The other half was obvious.

If the person with Qiao Nian today was Lu Zhi, he would definitely not let her get involved.

Qiao Nian reached for the lighter in her pocket. She wanted to touch it but accidentally touched the candy wrapper instead.

She took two candies from her pocket and tossed one to Zhong Yiliu. She tore open the wrapper and threw the candy into her mouth.

This one was watermelon-flavored.

It tasted sweet.

Coincidentally, it suppressed the sharp buzzing of her nerves. The blood vessels in Qiao Nian’s eyes had faded a lot, and she only looked sleepy.

“Have a candy.”

Zhong Yiliu had long caught the candy Qiao Nian threw to him. Looking at it, he didn’t react for a moment. “When did you start eating such things?”

He remembered that her pockets were filled with small pills.

Qiao Nian said casually, “Recently.”

Seeing Zhong Yiliu look at her strangely, she continued, “Someone gave it to me.”

No matter how stupid Zhong Yiliu was, he knew who it was.

He shut his mouth and put away the candy. “You know Emperor Ji’s condition. I’ve said before that he was poisoned. His blood is filled with poison. With current medical standards, he can live for another year and a half at most.”

“What about at your standard?” The girl looked at him with clear eyes.

Zhong Yiliu straightened his back for no reason. “If he cooperates, I can give him another two to three years. If he doesn’t… pretend I didn’t say anything.”

One year and three years… there wasn’t much difference.

Qiao Nian frowned and recalled how the poison in Ji Lingfeng’s body had taken a turn. It was because he had been injured when he was at sea that his immune system was weak, causing him to be unable to suppress the poison in his body, thus causing a series of consequences.

The poison itself was already present.

However, if Ji Lingfeng had not insisted on going out to sea at that time, he might not have known there was poison in his body for another eight to ten years.

Qiao Nian felt frustrated for no reason as she looked at Zhong Yiliu with dark eyes. “Is there no other way?”

“And you said you don’t care about his life or death.” Zhong Yiliu frowned and spoke slowly. “It’s not that there isn’t. There’s another way, but that method is equivalent to none.

“Do you know about snake venom?”

“Mm?”

“There are hundreds of types of venomous snakes in the world. Each venom corresponds to a different inhibitor. Similarly, the poison in his body is the same as that of a venomous snake. If I can get the antidote or the original poison, I can develop an antidote.”

It was best to have an antidote.

However, many poisons didn’t have a corresponding antidote, so they needed to develop one.

The Pharmacy Association was the best at this.

Zhong Yiliu was also a top master in this aspect.

He was confident that if he obtained the original poison, he could develop a targeted inhibitor in a short time. Even if he couldn’t cure Ji Lingfeng, he could at least let him live for a few more years.

“Do you know who poisoned him? If you know, you can look for that person. If they’re willing to give the antidote or the original poison, the patient will have a chance to live for eight to ten years or even longer…”

Qiao Nian looked at Zhong Yiliu and did not answer him. She just rubbed her eyebrows, looking extremely frustrated.

Zhong Yiliu noticed she seemed to know who had poisoned Ji Lingfeng, but he did not probe further. Instead, he said, “He’s inside. Since you’re already here, go inside and take a look.”
