Xiao Jin looked at the dark scar on Chu Shao's arm and was almost dumbfounded.

Could it be...these assassins were targeting Chu Shao?

When the black-clothed man wounded her earlier, he didn't poison the sword. But when he attacked Chu Shao, he applied poison.

At this moment, Xiao Jin remembered the crown prince walking to the palace wall, turning his head and looking into the distance covered in frost.

Because she was far away, she couldn't see the crown prince's expression clearly. But the male lead stood by the willow tree, stayed still for a long time, and then disappeared between the yellow tiles and red walls.

It seemed that the male lead had some issues.

Xiao Jin understood the reasoning, but she was still shocked as she looked at the faint smile on Chu Shao's lips.

How could someone be poisoned and not react at all?

Chu Shao was very perceptive, so she quickly noticed that Xiao Jin's gaze seemed to be fixed on her arm.

She didn't think there was anything unusual about her arm, but since Xiao Jin was looking, there must be a reason.

So she smiled and raised her hand. However, when she saw the black edges of the wound, she couldn't help but stare.

Xiao Jin looked serious and stared at Chu Shao intently. When Chu Shao came back to her senses, she just smiled slightly and said, "It turned out to be the poison of the broken heart grass. No wonder I felt a little itchy in my stomach earlier."

"..."

Xiao Jin was silent for a moment and slowly asked, "Is this poison from broken heart grass?"

"It should be."

Chu Shao's smile did not change. She even raised her arm with interest and carefully observed the black blood on the edge of the wound. "After all, only by being infected with the poison of broken heart grass will the stomach itch and then the intestines rot, causing extreme pain and death."

Xiao Jin looked at the smile on Chu Shao's face and often felt out of place with the female lead because she thought she was too normal.

...Is this really broken heart grass? Can there be some reaction? Is broken heart grass so shameless?

The so-called broken heart grass was one of the nine poisons in online novels, and its lethal degree was no less than that of poison arrows and seven-star sea anemones.

It is rumored that the poison is extremely potent, and within three cups of tea after ingestion, the intestines will turn black and sticky, causing the victim to suffer and die.

Even if there were not a thousand cannon fodders who died from broken heart grass, there would still be at least eight hundred. But Chu Shao is the female lead, how could she start off by being given a lunch box?

Xiao Jin had a gut feeling that something was wrong. In a short period of time, she could only attribute the magical plot to a chain reaction caused by a marriage proposal.

Also, the female lead might have been possessed and had her consciousness switched.

Chu Shao stood beside Xiao Jin, calmly watching her fingers slowly turn pale and transparent.

Due to the severe pain in her abdomen, her blood had also become icy cold, making her close her eyes with pleasure.

It had been a long time since she had felt this kind of pain, and she even missed it a little. Unfortunately, the pain wouldn't last long.
