Qiao Qiao, what's wrong with you?
Your phone is switched off!
Qiao Qiao stared at her phone for a long time. Unwilling to give up, she called He Shaochen again, but the result was the same. His phone was switched off.
Could it be that this person had already sensed something?
However, Qiao Qiao quickly dismissed this thought. If He Shaochen really knew that she was suffering from thirst, wouldn't he have flown over long ago? How could it be as simple as a phone call?
Then what exactly was he angry about?
Qiao Qiao couldn't figure it out, so she decided not to think about it. The most important thing now was to treat her thirst.
"Her Majesty's thirst came suddenly and is a very rare case. After our medical team discussed it, we all agreed that this should be due to some kind of stimulus that caused a change in her physique," the medical team's representative doctor said.
"What stimulus?"
"That's right. After a full body checkup on Her Majesty, we found that Her Majesty's physique is very different from ordinary people. We think that it should be due to some kind of reflective substance that affected her physique."
Qiao Qiao looked at Adam and asked doubtfully, "My thirst was discovered in the Holy Glory Palace. Is there some kind of reflective substance in the Holy Glory Palace?"
Adam shook his head and frowned. "There are many rare treasures in the Holy Glory Palace. It's not surprising that there are reflective utensils. However, people who stay in the Holy Glory Palace all year round don't have any changes in their physique, right?"
The doctor shook his head. "Changes are not directional and are also related to a person's physique. Wasn't the Queen's body very weak before? Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the change. I suggest that we check all the items in the places that she frequents and take away everything that has reflective properties. "
"Can this cure her thirst?" Qiao Qiao asked the question that she was most concerned about.
"Err …"
Upon hearing Qiao Qiao's question, the doctor paused for a moment before shaking his head. "The mutation is irreversible. Since he has already contracted such a disease, it's impossible for him to get better for no reason. We have several plans that are currently being implemented. In another month, we will be able to determine the best treatment plan."
"Another month?" Qiao Qiao frowned. "No, that's too long. Shorten it a little."
Qiao Qiao felt extremely conflicted every time she saw the bright red human blood. Her stomach also began to churn. She was afraid that she would go crazy if she persisted for another month.
"I'm afraid that won't do. For the sake of Your Majesty's safety, one month is our limit. Also, if Your Majesty doesn't want to drink blood, you can try eating this."
As he spoke, the doctor placed a glass bottle in front of Qiao Qiao. There were white pills inside.
The doctor asked someone to bring a glass of water and put a pill into the glass.
When the pill touched the water, it turned bright red. It spread in the water little by little. Soon, the pill disappeared without a trace. The originally transparent water was now as red as blood.
"What is this?" Qiao Qiao asked in surprise.
The doctor explained, "This is a medicine that our medical team specially developed for you, 'blood lozenge'. Its composition is similar to human blood, but it is purer than blood. There are no impurities and it can temporarily relieve your thirst for blood."
Qiao Qiao picked up the glass and smelled it. Indeed, it did not have the smell of blood. It looked like a red drink. She tried to take a sip and found that it was tasteless. It was like colorless water.
But.
It was too bland.
This thought shocked Qiao Qiao. What was wrong with her? Now that she had the blood lozenge, she did not need to drink human blood. Wasn't this what she had been looking forward to? What's with that disappointed tone? Qiao Qiao, are you crazy? Do you want to continue drinking human blood?
She dispelled that thought and asked again, "As long as I have this, I don't need to drink human blood anymore?"
"In theory, that's right." The doctor nodded.
This was indeed a huge gain.
With a smile on her face, Qiaoqiao said to the doctor, "Well done. Thank you and your colleagues for your hard work these past few days."
The doctor placed his right hand on his chest and said, "It is my honor to be able to work for the Queen."

Qiao Qiao took the blood lozenge back with a smile on her face. Adam was relieved when he saw that her mood had improved. When he went to see the doctor just now, Qiao Qiao had been in a daze. He was still a little worried, but now she seemed to have recovered.
"Lilith, I believe that your thirst will be cured soon."
"Okay." Qiao Qiao nodded and smiled faintly. "Thank you for your help recently. Because of my illness, I have caused you a lot of trouble."
Adam pursed his lips and looked at her with a burning gaze. "As long as it has something to do with you, it is not troublesome to me."
If it was in the past, Qiaoqiao would definitely feel very uncomfortable when Adam said this. However, she was already immune to it now. She understood that Adam's feelings for her were not love, but something more similar to familial love. And compared to familial love, it was also a bit deeper. In short, Adam was her guardian angel, and only wanted to protect her.
Qiao Qiao was very grateful to Adam. She wanted to treat people who were good to her better.
"Rest early."
Adam sent Qiao Qiao back to the house.
"Okay, you too." Qiao Qiao waved goodbye to Adam.
After Adam left, Qiao Qiao washed up and prepared to sleep. However, before she could walk to the bedside, her body gradually felt thirsty again. Her expression changed and she quickly took out the pills. She poured herself a glass of water and put the pills in.
Before the "blood lozenge" completely dissolved in the water, Qiao Qiao drank it in big mouthfuls. She was like an adventurer in the desert who suddenly found a hard-won water source.
However, after drinking half of it, Qiao Qiao could not help feeling disgusted and could not take another sip.
It was too bland.
The taste of the blood lozenge was too bland.
This thought came to her mind like a weed. Qiao Qiao pressed her head and shook it in frustration. She hypnotized herself. "Qiao Qiao, you are not a monster! You are not allowed to drink human blood anymore! "
Because after drinking the blood lozenge, her body was no longer as hot and thirsty as before. It could be seen that this medicine was indeed effective. As long as she continued to drink it every day, she could avoid drinking human blood. Wasn't this what she wanted?
Qiao Qiao's gaze focused on the glass of bright red liquid again.
She swallowed her saliva and suppressed the disgust. She gritted her teeth and drank the remaining half of the glass.
"Cough cough cough … cough cough cough …"
"Cough cough …"
Qiao Qiao drank too quickly and choked. However, she was very happy. At least this time, she drank the entire glass of "blood lozenge".
Qiao Qiao, you are just not used to drinking it at first. Drink it a few more times and you will be fine. Don't touch human blood anymore.
You.
Are not a monster.
It was close to five o 'clock in the morning when Adam returned to his bedroom. He fell directly onto the bed. His wounds had not healed and blood was still seeping out.
Recently, his schedule had been like this. During the day, he helped Qiao Qiao with official business and stayed by her side. At night, he completed the tasks given by the J Organisation. Only when the number of tasks reached a certain level would he have the opportunity to be promoted to a Red J and obtain the list of all members.
He had originally planned to spend a year to complete it, but the situation was forcing him to do so.
Phillips's actions were getting bigger and bigger. Sooner or later, Qiao Qiao would realize that something was wrong. When she discovered the existence of the J Organisation, it was only a matter of time before they fell out. When that time came, how could the J Organisation still tolerate her?
He had to enter the top management as soon as possible.
As soon as possible.

In the following period of time.
Qiao Qiao felt more and more powerless. It was not because of her own body, but also because of the outside world.
There were countless meetings, meetings with various important figures, and inspections. Even though she had already ascended to the position of Queen, there were still many parties that did not agree with her. She needed to maintain the disputes between the various parties. Qiao Qiao was also racking her brains on how to balance the various parties.
Two years ago, she was still a postgraduate student in school. But now, she was at the peak of another country. The difference was simply heaven and earth.
This kind of life was indeed full of ups and downs, but it was enough to wear her down.
"Lilith, you look like you have been working hard recently."
After the meeting, Phillips walked beside Qiao Qiao and whispered to her.
Qiao Qiao saw Phillips's youthful and energetic appearance. He was so bright that she was about to be blinded. She laughed dryly and teased, "Why do I feel that your face is getting redder and redder? Don't tell me there's something joyous going on? "
Phillips raised his eyebrows. "You can tell?"
"Your face is about to bloom from smiling. How can I not tell?" Qiao Qiao was actually a little jealous. Phillips's peach blossoms were obviously blooming. She said sourly, "Don't tell me that you are going to have a good family and career?"
Family?
This word was relatively new to Phillips.
For people like him, family would only become a burden.
He smiled and said, "It's just that I have a pet at home. My days are not that boring."
"Oh, congratulations."
Qiao Qiao was disinterested.
Phillips suddenly reached out and waved his hand in front of her eyes. "Why are you daydreaming again? You were absent-minded during the meeting just now. Now that you are out, you are still like this?"
"Maybe I haven't been sleeping well recently. It's nothing serious."
"Our Queen has not been sleeping well. This is a major issue in J Country." Phillips said exaggeratedly. He paused and looked around. Then, he leaned closer to Qiao Qiao and asked in a low voice, "Lilith, is it because you are pregnant?"
Qiao Qiao subconsciously covered her stomach.
She glared at Phillips reproachfully. "Don't mention this outside."
The walls had ears. If they were discovered …
"Actually, anyone with a discerning eye could tell. They just didn't say it. However, we are all very curious. When will you and Mr. He go through the procedures again? After all, you are now the Queen of J Country. The wedding must be exceptionally grand. After the wedding, even if your pregnancy is revealed, no one will say anything. It is much better than being secretive like you are now, isn't it? "
At the mention of He Shaochen, Qiao Qiao couldn't help but think about how he had hung up on her last night.
Marriage?
Who knew when they would get married?
Qiao Qiao's lips curved into a self-deprecating smile. "Even I don't know when I will get married."
"Lilith, this is not a small matter. Your stomach will get bigger and bigger in the future. When you attend public events, billions of people in the country will be watching you. You should discuss this with Mr. He as soon as possible. Speaking of which, he hasn't been to J Country for a long time. A long-distance relationship is very difficult. Take this opportunity to ask him to come over so that you can have a good gathering."
Take this opportunity to ask him to come over?
But he was so busy. Would he really come back? Qiao Qiao wasn't sure.
"Let's talk about this later," Qiao Qiao said mildly.
A dark look flashed across Phillips's eyes. He smiled again and said, "Lilith, as long as you need me, I can help you at any time. You can share part of the work with me."
"That's true. You look so free. It's really not fair." Qiao Qiao agreed.
Phillips smiled even more brightly. "It's my honor to be able to work for you."
The two of them walked out of the building and saw Adam standing in front of the car. The two men looked at each other and their gazes met in the air.
"Then I'll leave first."
Qiao Qiao said to Phillips.
"Mm, goodbye."
Phillips watched as Qiao Qiao's car left. The assistant behind him stepped forward and said in an extremely low voice, "Your Excellency, the assassination team is ready."
"Very good."
Phillips replied mildly. A murderous look flashed across his eyes.
— —
At night.
Qiao Qiao's room was filled with suppressed coughs. The floor was covered in blood.
Of course, it was not blood. It was just a blood lozenge.
As time passed, Qiao Qiao's resistance to the medicine was increasing. Previously, she could still grit her teeth and swallow the blood lozenge, but gradually, it became more and more difficult to swallow. Often, she could not help but vomit halfway. She suppressed her coughs and prepared to get another cup.
Just as she walked to the water dispenser, a black figure darted in from the window.
Qiao Qiao waited for the blood lozenge to dissolve in the water. Then, she decided to try it again. Just as she took a sip, the nausea came again.
She covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom. She vomited directly into the basin. It was bright red.
A voice sounded behind her. "Qiao Qiao, what's wrong?"
The extremely familiar voice made Qiao Qiao raise her head. Through the mirror in front of her, she could see the tall and straight man behind her.
The straight lines of the silver-gray suit set off his perfect figure. On his handsome face, the heroic sword eyebrows were almost twisted into a fried dough twist at the moment. This person, if not He Shaochen, who else could it be?
"Shaochen, why are you here?"
Qiao Qiao asked in surprise.
"Answer my question immediately!" He Shaochen had already strode over. He saw the blood in the basin and the red liquid at the corner of Qiao Qiao's mouth. He said angrily, "You're vomiting blood?"
"Ah?" Qiao Qiao was stunned. Her heart tightened. She wiped the water at the corner of her mouth and hurriedly waved her hand. "No, no, this is not blood. It's just a red drink."
"Drink?"
He Shaochen frowned. His words were full of suspicion.
Qiao Qiao was afraid that he would not believe her. She placed the cup of blood in front of him. "Here, this is it. It's just a red drink."
He Shaochen looked at the color of the liquid in the cup. It was indeed the same as the one in the basin. He frowned and asked, "What kind of lousy thing is this?"
"Haha, it's just a new type of drink." Qiao Qiao averted her gaze. She turned around and kept the blood tablets on the table. However, she did not avoid He Shaochen's eyes. He grabbed her hand and narrowed his eyes. "What is this?"
"Erm, this is just a solid blood tablet. It's the same as those solid drinks."
"Then why did you keep it secretly?"
He Shaochen's voice became colder.
"I didn't …"
Before Qiao Qiao could finish her words, He Shaochen pinched her chin and said slowly, "You're lying!"
"…"
Qiao Qiao could not help but avert her gaze.
He Shaochen grabbed her wrist and said coldly, "Qiao Qiao, what are you hiding from me?"
"I'm not."
She lowered her head and said softly.
"You don't even dare to look at my eyes. How dare you say you're not!"
He Shaochen was even angrier. He had risked his life to come to J Country to look for her. He would not go back until he got to the bottom of the matter!
His questioning made her heart flustered.
"Qiao Qiao, are you in a relationship with Adam?" He Shaochen asked coldly.
Qiao Qiao was stunned. "What are you thinking? What relationship do I have with Adam? "
"Haha, I don't know either. What relationship do you have with that man? Tell me, during the time you spent with him, did you have a good impression of him, or even fell in love with him? "He Shaochen asked.
"No!"
Qiao Qiao pushed He Shaochen away and said angrily.
She suddenly understood why He Shaochen had been so cold to her recently. It turned out that he had been suspecting that she had fallen in love with someone else!
She had been thinking about him every day, but all she got in return was his suspicion?
How ridiculous was that?
"Hmph, if you didn't, why do you rely on him for everything? What were you talking about that night? Why did you have to lower your voice? Hm? "
"It has nothing to do with you!"
Qiao Qiao's temper rose.
"You're saying that it has nothing to do with me?"
"Yes, it has nothing to do with you!"
Qiao Qiao was trembling with anger. She did not expect that after going through so much, she still could not gain his trust. Her heart ached slightly. He Shaochen could really drive her to her grave sometimes.
She walked out, but He Shaochen grabbed her hand. "You're going to look for Adam?"
Adam?
What did that have to do with him?
But hearing his questioning voice, she replied in a huff, "Yes! I'm going to look for him! "
"No!"
He Shaochen pulled her back.
Qiao Qiao struggled. "What right do you have to order me around? He Shaochen, do you think I'll still let you do whatever you want to me? "
"If I say no, then no!"
He Shaochen ordered forcefully.
"Let go!"
"I won't let go!"
He Shaochen hugged her from behind.
Qiao Qiao was flustered. In the process of struggling, that incomparably familiar feeling of thirst emerged again. Her heart suddenly twitched and the blood in her body seemed to have solidified. Qiao Qiao fiercely sucked in a breath of cold air. She slowly lowered her head and whispered: "He Shaochen, let go …"
"Qiao Qiao, I won't allow you to see that man!"
He Shaochen hadn't noticed Qiao Qiao's strange behavior.
Qiaoqiao shook her head, trying her best to suppress the primitive desire in her heart. She lowered her voice to an extremely low volume, as if she was enduring something. She tried her best to use a negotiating tone and said, "I won't look for Adam anymore. Can you let me go now?"
She was about to lose control of herself.
He Shaochen saw that she had quietened down and calmed down. "You're really not going to look for Adam?"
"Mm, I'm not going. You, you, you, leave here now …"
"Why do you want me to leave here?" He Shaochen frowned.
"Don't ask! Leave now! "Qiao Qiao suddenly shouted. She wrapped her arms around herself." Leave now! Leave now! "
He Shaochen also noticed Qiao Qiao's strange behavior. He turned her body to face him. "Qiao Qiao, what's wrong with you?"
