The system is too rubbish, Xiao Jin feels really upset about it.

But then she realized that the system had asked her to do a side quest before, but Princess Zhao Yang was not even in the palace, so it didn't meet the prerequisite for doing the task.

This shows that some things have suddenly changed, and the system cannot predict everything.

So, all she has is...

A counterfeit system that can detect the level of danger.

The system knows that Xiao Jin is unhappy with it, so it says friendly, 'Although the sudden task is difficult, the host will triple the amount of life span obtained, and if the task is completed, there will be additional rewards.'

That's so good?

Xiao Jin was a little surprised. In fact, she always approached things with a gambler's mentality. The so-called fortune favors the brave, and you have to take risks to win. This is her life motto.

She looked at Chu Shao standing beside her and noticed that her smile was as usual. She also remembered that because of the author's setting, the female lead's martial arts value was not high in the original work, so Chu Shao should not pose any threat to her.

Therefore, she guessed that the sudden situation probably came from other factors.

As for what the threat was, Xiao Jin didn't know at the moment.

Although she did not bring any attendants into the palace, the twelve guards of the Wangfu and a carriage were still waiting outside.

The guards under the original owner were all drawn from the Shenji Camp, brave and skilled, all of them elite soldiers.

But Xiao Jin was curious. With this kind of configuration, what else could go wrong?

So she turned her head slightly and asked the coachman, "How long did it take to drive from the Prince Yan's Mansion to the palace earlier?"

Although the coachman was confused, he still answered truthfully, "In reply to Young Master, it took about half an hour."

Half an hour is one hour.

According to this calculation, the midpoint they passed through on their way back to the mansion should be Zhuque Street."

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Jin had made up her mind and nodded, saying, "I understand."

...

Due to Xiao Jin's leg illness, the carriage driver was not driving very fast, in fact, slower than usual.

Xiao Jin and Chu Shao sat in the carriage. Xiao Jin was calculating the time in her mind, while Chu Shao was observing Xiao Jin persistently.

To be precise, Chu Shao was observing Xiao Jin's bones.

From her fingers to her neck, then from her chin to her nose bridge, her gaze was almost imperceptible. She smiled gently on her face but couldn't figure it out in her heart.

Men's bones are usually much thicker and heavier than women's, but Xiao Jin's body is slender and her bones are delicate, which doesn't seem to be caused by illness, but rather natural.

After watching for a while, Chu Shao also noticed that Xiao Jin's shoes were not big, and her ankles should also be soft and petite.

No matter how she looked at it, she felt strange. But the strangest thing was that she couldn't figure out what was strange about Xiao Jin for a while.

This was the most interesting thing.

On the other side, Xiao Jin was brainstorming, counting down the time silently.
