After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven
Chapter 564 Master of Poison
Bai Jinshu actually kept his word. After lunch, he really sent someone to look for Yu Qingli. However, Xiluo had not returned yet and did not even have lunch with everyone.
Yu Qingli was a little worried. After all, this was the Bai Mansion. If Xiluo acted rashly, she would only be in danger. And she didn't know what kind of feelings the Second Young Master Bai had towards Xiluo.
"Ms. Yu? Miss Yu?"
Bai Jinshi's voice sounded beside her ears, finally bringing Yu Qingli back to her senses.
"Sorry, I was distracted just now."
Bai Jinshi said calmly: "Nothing, Miss, are you worried about Miss Xiluo?"
Yu Qingli glanced at her and nodded noncommittally. She was indeed worried about Xiluo. "I wonder why Xiluo and the Second Young Master didn't come back for dinner together?"
"I think my second brother is taking Miss Xiluo to visit my mother's grave. Miss, don't worry. My eldest brother sent them over during lunch."
"So that's it."
Yu Qingli finally felt a little relieved. Although they had not been together for a long time, Yu Qingli clearly felt that each person in the Bai family had a different personality. The easiest one to get along with was probably Bai Jinhua, but the one with the softest heart was Bai Jinshi.
Bai Jinshi is somewhat similar to Yu Qingli in temperament and is usually cold towards people. The only difference between her and Yu Qingli is that Yu Qingli deliberately pretends to be cold after going through all kinds of things in order to protect herself, while Bai Jinshi seems to be born indifferent. Even to her family, she treats them like ordinary guests. It is precisely because of this that she did not take over the Bai family's business, but was only responsible for helping in the villa and taking charge of its safety.
Bai Jinshi doesn't talk much. It is said that she and Bai Jinqi have the best relationship in the villa, and there is also a little story between them.
However, Yu Qingli was not interested in this. She just wanted to know whether Bai Jinshi had the Bone-Eroding Powder.
Fortunately, Bai Jinshi didn't seem to have any intention of chatting with Yu Qingli. She just took Yu Qingli to the room where she usually studied poisons.
From the outside, it was an extremely ordinary room, looking no different from other rooms. However, after pushing open the door, Yu Qingli was shocked.
The whole room was filled with herbs. Fortunately, they were arranged neatly, so it looked quite comfortable. Yu Qingli walked in slowly. Bai Jinshi walked beside her, just waiting quietly for Yu Qingli to ask questions.
Yu Qingli walked in and saw various utensils placed in some places inside. Some of them had lids, while others were open, so you could clearly see what was inside.
There were all kinds of poisonous creatures, including colorful spiders, centipedes, scorpions, etc. When you look at them suddenly, it is really creepy.
Suddenly, Yu Qingli stopped and got goose bumps all over her body. She felt something slowly crawling up her trouser legs, and the cold touch could be felt even through the fabric.
Yu Qingli gritted her teeth, trying not to make a sound, but she couldn't control the fear in her heart no matter what. It's a snake!
A small snake was crawling along her trouser leg at night, almost mistaking her leg for a tree trunk.
"Ya'er, come back!"
At Bai Jinshi's command, the little snake that was originally about to continue climbing up suddenly stopped moving and even fell directly to the ground.
Bai Jinshi smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, Princess. This is my pet. It has a very docile temperament."
Yu Qingli's eyes swept over the little snake, only to see it coiled up obediently, motionless. Then Bai Jinshi picked it up directly, and the little snake quickly wrapped around Bai Jinshi's wrist. From a distance, it looked like a unique bracelet.
Yu Qingli was extremely surprised. This little snake was really smart. However, judging from its bright color, it was obviously highly poisonous. Bai Jinshi was indeed a master of poison!
Bai Jinshi walked in front. Perhaps she was quite satisfied with Yu Qingli's performance just now, so she was in a good mood. She even took the initiative to introduce Yu Qingli to the rows of porcelain vases on the shelves.
Some of them were very rare poisons, and some were common poisons, but Yu Qingli never heard the name of the one she wanted from beginning to end.
"Did the Third Miss develop these herself?"
"Some are, some aren't! Because I like making poison, Big Brother specially had people find these things from all over the place for me to practice with."
"I see. Master Bai is truly a rare and good brother."
"That's natural!"
There was a hint of pride in Bai Jinshi's tone. When she talked about her elder brother, she was filled with an indescribable sense of happiness, which was completely different from the feeling she gave people in her daily life. Yu Qingli couldn't help but marvel at it. It seemed that Bai Jinshu's position in their hearts was really unique.
Yu Qingli suddenly thought, if the Bai family's secret was exposed, what would happen to them? At this moment, she felt a little bit reluctant and a little bit sorry. The several people in the Bai family were rare talents. It was really a pity that such people became victims. If they could abandon the dark and join the light, they would definitely be a great help to her.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that Murong Yanhui's decision was indeed reasonable.
Seeing Yu Qingli's distraction, Bai Jinshi reminded her, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, nothing, I just feel a little emotional!"
Bai Jinshi was stunned when she heard this. Thinking of the rumors she had heard about Yu Qingli before, she couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy for the woman next to her. Regardless of whether she was the prince's consort or not, she was a poor woman without any family sympathy. I heard that she had severed her relationship with her father and her sister had become her husband's concubine. The family members who should have supported each other had become in this kind of competitive relationship. It was really speechless.
Yu Qingli casually picked up a porcelain bottle and asked curiously, "Why does the Third Miss like to make poison?"
Bai Jinshi turned her head, looking puzzled, "Do I need a reason to like something?"
"That's true! But Miss Third is constantly exposed to these poisons. Wouldn't she accidentally get poisoned?"
Bai Jinshi's lips curled up into a faint smile, as if she found Yu Qingli's question very interesting. "Don't worry about this, Princess. Although I often touch poisons, I don't test them myself, so there won't be such a problem."
Yu Qingli nodded, but in her heart she was thinking about how to ask about the Bone-Eroding Powder. Bringing it up directly might arouse suspicion. Thinking of this, Yu Qingli pretended to sigh and said, "The world is so big, there are indeed all kinds of strange poisons. It seems that I have only just scratched the surface."
"Princess, there are countless poisons in this world. Some have long been lost, and some have become secret medicines within certain families. Even though my brother has searched the world for all kinds of medicines for me, it's only the tip of the iceberg."
Yu Qingli agreed, "Miss San is right. I once saw a very powerful poison. After a person is poisoned, they will not die immediately. Instead, they will slowly rot from the wound. It is really terrifying."
As Yu Qingli spoke, she observed Bai Jinshi's reaction subtly. Sure enough, after hearing these words, the expression on Bai Jinshi's face changed and she looked very unnatural. She opened her mouth but said nothing.
"Has Miss San ever seen this kind of poison?"
Yu Qingli pretended to be purely curious, but she was actually very nervous in her heart, not knowing whether she could get the antidote to the bone-eroding powder from her.
Bai Jinshi did not directly answer Yu Qingli's question. Instead, she asked, "Where did the princess hear about this?"
"It was used in a torture cell against a vicious criminal. I think it worked quite well, but unfortunately, I don't know where to find this poison or what it's called. Miss, you've studied poisons for many years, I wonder if you've heard of it."
Bai Jinshi looked hesitant, as if she was considering whether to tell Yu Qingli. Seeing this, Yu Qingli said, "It's okay if you haven't seen it. Oh, I've also heard of a drug called the Seven-Day Soul-Severing Pill. I heard that this poison can cause a person to experience different mental states within seven days, with joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, anger, delusion, and desire. It's like a microcosm of life at the end. It's really amazing."
Yu Qingli deliberately changed the subject, hoping that Bai Jinshi would let down her guard. Sure enough, after hearing what she said, Bai Jinshi asked with great interest, "How could there be such a miraculous poison in the world? Has the princess seen it?"
Yu Qingli thought to herself, it looks like the fish has taken the bait!
"In fact, I got this medicine by accident. If Miss San likes it, I will give it to her for research."
"Such a precious thing..."
"It's just poison. What's so precious about it? In my opinion, they're all used to harm people. There's no difference between the Seven Day Soul-Breaking Pill and the Crane's Crown Red Arsenic."
Bai Jinshi instinctively wanted to refute, but she also felt that what she said made a lot of sense. After all, it was something that harmed people.
Next, Yu Qingli stopped talking and just pretended to be very interested in watching the poisonous creatures raised by Bai Jinshi. However, she was extremely anxious in her heart. Could it be that her guess was wrong, and Bai Jinshi had not lost her vigilance against her?
That shouldn't be possible. Although they haven't been together for a long time, judging from the way she behaves, she should be the type of person who doesn't like to take advantage of others. If I take the initiative to give her what she wants most, there is no reason for her not to give back.
Just as Yu Qingli was lost in thought, she suddenly heard Bai Jinshi's voice, "In fact, the poison that the princess just mentioned is the secret medicine of my Bai family, called Bone-Erosion Powder!"
Yu Qingli's heart moved, but she remained expressionless. "Oh? I didn't expect it to be the Bai family's secret medicine. No wonder I didn't know the name. Is it called Bone-Eroding Powder? It's indeed very appropriate."
Yu Qingli understood that the more indifferent she acted, the greater the possibility of getting the antidote. Facts proved that her judgment was correct!
