The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 158 I’m here

"Girl, you may not understand what I mean. Our current situation is mainly that medicinal materials are precious now, and you can't waste them."

"If you only need a small portion, I can make the decision, but the amount you need is too large."

"Especially this one. We don't have much left. If you take it away, we will have even less."

The steward spoke with great embarrassment.

Bai Wangqi frowned and said, "Didn't you understand what my master said? My master wants to use these herbs for research."

"Once my master has figured it out, will he still worry about not being able to save the people? And my master didn't ask for all your herbs. He has already left enough for you to use."

Bai Qianxi had actually considered this when she came to get the medicine. The herbs left behind were enough for them to make medicine to suppress the progress of the plague.

"You are a girl who doesn't run the household, so you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. How can the remaining materials be enough? Besides, I am just an ordinary warehouse manager. I can't make the decision if you want to take so many medicinal materials." The supervisor made an unpleasant look.

He had heard that this person was the daughter of the imperial city who came down to experience life by relying on her acquaintance with the Third Prince.

They can cooperate appropriately, for fear of offending someone, but it is limited to small matters.

"What's going on? What happened?" Just when the stalemate was about to break out, a voice rang out.

The warehouse manager immediately saluted upon seeing the visitor, "Master Bai."

He then recounted what had just happened.

Bai Yushu frowned and looked at Bai Qianxi, saying with some disapproval, "Fifth sister, what do you need so many herbs for? If you want to do research, you only need a small part of them."

"If it's not enough, you can come to the warehouse to get more when the time comes. It won't waste much time. Why bother the manager?"

"My business has nothing to do with you." Bai Qianxi said coldly, turning to look at the warehouse manager, "Prepare the things I want first, and when the Third Prince comes back and asks you, tell him that I took it. I will be responsible if anything goes wrong."

"If you keep talking, it will delay the development of the anti-disaster medicine..."

Hearing Bai Qianxi's threatening words, the warehouse manager knew that he couldn't stop it.

He could only send the plague god away as soon as possible and tell Miss Qing about it, wondering if she had any solution.

Seeing that Bai Qianxi ignored him at all, Bai Yushu's brows furrowed even more tightly.

After preparing all the necessary medicinal herbs, Bai Qianxi and Bai Wangqi transported them all back to the empty courtyard.

"From today on, I will concentrate on developing the prescription. I'll trouble you to help me with things outside. Please don't disturb me unless it's important. Just deliver the meals to my door every day." Bai Qianxi instructed Bai Wangqi.

"Master, don't worry. Leave these to me. I will never let anyone disturb you!" Bai Wangqi said firmly.

The courtyard gate was closed, leaving Bai Qianxi with a quiet space.

After carefully sorting and organizing the medicinal herbs in hand, Bai Qianxi took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and began to make calculations one by one.

At the same time, according to the calculated results, the drug preparation experiments were started one by one.

Time passed day by day, Bai Qianxi locked herself in the yard, took a nap when she was tired, and continued when she woke up.

She must develop the antidote as quickly as possible, not only for Cheng Shaozhi, but also for the millions of people who are suffering.

"I see she hasn't left the yard for several days. She locked herself in the house and brought so many medicinal herbs in. She talked about doing some research. I think she's just a coward, afraid that she'll get infected." A sweeper passed by the yard and couldn't help but complain.

"She's afraid? Aren't you afraid?" The companion said with a smile. "Of course I'm afraid, but how can I compare to her? Look, it's been several days, and she hasn't even come out to drink a sip of water, and she needs others to bring her water. How can we have so much time to spare?" The man rolled his eyes in disdain.

"You're right, but how can we be responsible for this? Aren't there her lackeys working for us? They just stare at the kitchen all day long, and they want to eat good food without doing anything. I don't know where they get the nerve to do this, ugh!"

They work hard and suffer a lot here, and these nobles serve them with good food and drink every day, and even want them to show off in front of them.

"I think they might as well just stay in the imperial capital. At least out of sight, out of mind!"

The two people's discussion became louder and louder.

Until Bai Wangqi came over with a food box.

"Oh, are you here to deliver food to Miss Qianjin again? I just don't know what's the point of eating so well all day?"

"Aren't you afraid of getting infected? If you have the ability, don't eat outside. If you stay in that yard and take those medicines every day, you will probably be healthy for the rest of your life."

The two of them mocked him mercilessly. Bai Wangqi had heard such words a lot recently.

But this was the first time someone had openly said this in front of her. Did these people think she had no temper?
"As expected, some people still like to talk shit. Since you look down on my master so much, when my master figures out the recipe, don't use my master's recipe even if you have the ability!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you think you're making a big deal out of saying a few words. Everyone knows that the girl in the room is just a pretty face. She's just a teenage girl. Even if she's been learning since she was in her mother's womb, she doesn't necessarily have such great abilities."

"You just lock yourself in your room all day, and never go to see those who are sick. And yet you're still researching, what can you possibly come up with?"

"Look at those imperial doctors out there. They are so old, but they are still working hard outside. Some of them are even exhausted but are still treating patients. These are what you should learn from."

"But if you want to be a rich lady, please go back and be one!"

"You guys! You look down on people!"

If it wasn't for the purpose of not disturbing her master, she would not let these people go!
"Why, you can't tell?"

"You still think we are wrong, so why not use evidence to refute us? Who are you showing this to?"

"What are you doing!"

The man strode over. He had only been away for two days, but why were the people under him so arrogant?

He saw this. He didn't know what these people were talking about Bai Qianxi in places where he couldn't see!

"I have met His Highness."

While cleaning, I didn't expect Ye Beiling to come over suddenly. I was stunned for a moment and quickly saluted.

Although they were a little worried that Ye Beiling would hear them talking about Bai Qianxi behind her back, they didn't think what they said was wrong.

They also believed that the Third Prince was definitely bewitched by that woman, and when the prince came to his senses, he would definitely not let this woman go.

Bai Wangqi didn't have so many concerns and started to complain directly.

Ye Beiling frowned upon hearing this, exuding a cold aura. He looked at the two people who were sweeping the floor, "I was kind enough to give you a job, but this is how you talk about people behind their backs!"

"Your Highness, we..."
