She now regretted it so much that her guts turned green. Why did the people she had treated whole - heartedly hurt her like this?
"Move aside." Yi Qing motioned the doctor away. "Grandpa, bear with it a bit." After saying that, she cleaned the wound with alcohol, then took a candle and took a look. Sure enough, it was the purple glass poison.
Duke Di watched Yi Qing's solemn expression. "Is there something wrong with the wound?"
"It's poisoned." Yi Qing looked around. "Where's the weapon that hurt Grandpa?"
A guard on the side brought over a dagger.
Yi Qing first applied medicine and bandaged her grandpa's wound. Then she took the dagger and examined it carefully. Suddenly, she stabbed Bai Yutang in the abdomen. Bai Yutang's face changed drastically, looking at Yi Qing in disbelief.
"Take out the antidote, or you'll die." Yi Qing stared at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang laughed proudly. "To have a duke and a general of the Great Jin accompany me to death, I'll die without regret."
Yi Qing pulled out the dagger. "It's not that easy to die. You must have a high - ranking identity with an internal martial arts master traveling with you as your subordinate. You want to die? Not so easy."
"Qing'er, what are you talking about? What internal martial arts master?" Mrs. Di still didn't understand.
She still thought it was some enemy her father had made during his battles when he was young.
Bai Yutang endured the pain and laughed coquettishly. "So you've known all along. Then you should also know that there's no antidote for the purple glass poison. Only the water from the divine spring can wash away your sins."
Yi Qing thought for a moment and directly lifted the clothes at Bai Yutang's wound. She didn't care about Bai Yutang's reaction. She wiped Bai Yutang's wound with Bai Yutang's clothes and was shocked to find that Bai Yutang wasn't poisoned by the purple glass.
Looking at the blood flowing from the wound, Yi Qing suddenly understood what was going on. She had previously guessed that the purple glass was a kind of spore. If Bai Yutang and her people had soaked in the divine spring before, there must be something in their bodies that could suppress the spores, so the purple glass would be ineffective against them.
Bai Yutang sized up Yi Qing. She thought that if she had known this woman was so smart, she would have played with her longer.
"Qing'er, what on earth is going on?" Duke Di was also very puzzled.
"The person who assassinated Xiao Jinghan at the palace gate that day was her subordinate." Yi Qing casually applied wound medicine on Bai Yutang, then tied her to a pillar with a gauze. "Your original plan wasn't like this, was it?"
Bai Yutang gritted her teeth. The way Yi Qing bandaged her wound made her unable to move. As long as she moved, the gauze would rub against her wound. "You know quite a lot."
"I guess it was because I suspected you, which led to a re - investigation of your identity. So your plan changed." Yi Qing paced in front of Bai Yutang twice. "Who on earth are you?"
"I'm Bai Yutang, the daughter of Bai Chengyi." Bai Yutang endured the pain and smiled, looking like a blooming mandala.
Yi Qing looked at Bai Yutang. "This should be your last life - saving method, right? Bai Chengyi is not dead, and you're really his daughter."
"Right!" Bai Yutang laughed even more wantonly.
Duke Di and Mrs. Di were shocked. Even Duke Di didn't expect this.
"Then where is Chengyi?" Duke Di asked anxiously.
"Naturally, he's standing in front of my mother to atone for his sins." Bai Yutang said arrogantly.
"What did you do to him?" Mrs. Di was nervous.
Looking at her grandpa and mother's reactions, Yi Qing thought this wasn't the time to ask this question.
"I've always had a question I can't figure out. I'd like you to clarify it for me." Yi Qing immediately changed the topic.
"I can choose not to answer."
"Whether you answer or not doesn't make much difference to you." Yi Qing didn't think she would refuse to answer. Villains were reluctant to let their perfect plans go unknown. After all, most villains pursued fame and fortune, not anonymity. "Why did you suddenly change your plan and try to kill me on the boat that day?"
Hearing Yi Qing's question, Bai Yutang felt a bit bored. "My original plan that day was to target Yuan Hecong. Who knew Yuan Hecong was so uncooperative and slipped away. And Deng Xiao even threw me among a bunch of stinky men. I couldn't enter the Yuan family anymore, so I planned to enter the general's mansion."
Yi Qing understood. "As long as I died, Xiao Jinghan would become a widower. Relying on the Di family and claiming to do everything for Xiao Jinghan's good, even if Xiao Jinghan didn't like you, there was still a high probability of letting you into the general's mansion."
"How smart. It's a pity. It's all too late." Bai Yutang laughed proudly.
Yi Qing thought for a while. "If my grandpa hadn't been on guard, what would you have done after you succeeded?"
"Naturally, I would have settled down in the capital. The capital is so prosperous. I don't even want to leave."
Yi Qing nodded. "Don't you think there was something wrong when you assassinated my grandpa today?"
Bai Yutang thought for a moment and her expression changed drastically. When she assassinated Di Qingyu today, she thought it was foolproof. After succeeding, she could have gotten away cleanly. But suddenly, she lost all her strength when she made the move. She stabbed Di Qingyu by inertia but didn't hit a vital part.
Then her strength returned, and there was no difference, so she forgot about it.
"What did you do to me?" Bai Yutang stared at Yi Qing.
"I don't have the habit of clarifying things for my opponents." Yi Qing said as she poured some white powder on the dagger, then roasted the dagger over a candle. After that, she made a cut on Bai Yutang's arm.
"Although you won't be poisoned by the purple glass, this medicine will still make you suffer. This wound will leave a scar that will never disappear. As long as it touches water or the humidity is high, the wound will itch and hurt unbearably. From today on, I'll make a cut on you every day." After saying that, Yi Qing closed the dagger.
"You..." Bai Yutang didn't expect Yi Qing to be so cruel. "I'm really Bai Chengyi's daughter."
"I believe you." Yi Qing raised her chin slightly and looked at Bai Yutang. "Bai Chengyi should have been captured by you. He's also poisoned by the purple glass."
"You know..." This time, Bai Yutang was really panicked.
"Qing'er, what on earth is going on?" Duke Di was confused.
"If I'm not wrong, Bai Chengyi met Bai Yutang's mother when he left the city. They had a brief romance. After that, maybe Bai Chengyi didn't care at all, or maybe the two countries were enemies, so Bai Chengyi left. Bai Yutang's mother gave birth to Bai Yutang, and Bai Chengyi didn't compromise because of this. So they captured Bai Chengyi." Yi Qing shrugged.
"You guessed right." Bai Yutang really underestimated Yi Qing. A person who showed all her emotions on her face actually had so much scheming. "Are you still going to kill me?"
"No matter who you are, I never planned to kill you." Yi Qing's expression gradually turned cold. "Killing you would be too easy on you. This daily cut is a must."
Bai Yutang stared at Yi Qing. If looks could kill, Yi Qing would have been riddled with holes by Bai Yutang's stare.
"After all, she's Chengyi's daughter." Mrs. Di thought Yi Qing was too cruel.
Fortunately, Yi Qing didn't care about this step - mother of hers. Otherwise, she would have been angry to death many times. "How's Grandpa's injury? I'll help Grandpa back to his room to rest. I have something to discuss with Grandpa."
