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."
