"This is a good question," she said with a calm voice.

Xiao Jin remained silent for a moment, then picked up the teacup in her hand.

As the two watched her intently, she calmly lifted the tea lid and took a sip of tea.

Today, Xiao Jin had not crowned herself, only tying her hair with a silver bamboo embroidered ribbon.

Her black hair fell on the back of the wheelchair, and she lowered her eyes, quietly staring at the olive-colored tea leaves floating on the surface of the water.

This kind of calm and leisurely behavior is indeed quite bossy.

In fact, Xiao Jin's series of actions are indeed quite ostentatious.

So much so that Chu Shao's smile became more and more intense, and he was curious about what Xiao Jin would say.

However, Xiao Jin's mind was blank.

She didn't know what to say after drinking the tea. She only knew that she had three seconds left to react.

Real heroes often only need three seconds.

In the three seconds that Xiao Jin swallowed the tea and put the cup back on the table, her thoughts were as chaotic as a mess.

But when she raised her head and looked at Su Tan, her eyes were calm.

Su Tan looked at Xiao Jin's confident appearance and couldn't help but feel a little curious. Although she didn't quite understand why she was looking forward to Xiao Jin's extreme arrogance.

"Because this prince also wants to ask Dr. Su, why can't this worm be a Gu worm?" Xiao Jin slowly spoke, her expressionless face, but her eyes were extremely sharp.

Why can't it be a Gu worm?

Su Tan was stunned, almost caught off guard by Xiao Jin's question.

Then she quickly realized that this corpse had been placed in the secret room for a long time, and with the recent rainy days in the capital, it was normal for it to decay and breed maggots.

Although this black worm was indeed a Gu worm, Xiao Jin had never studied medicine and could determine that it was a Gu worm with just one glance, which must have been a lot of effort.

Thinking of this, Su Tan felt that her thoughts were very clear, and she was about to refute according to this logic. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin opened her mouth again.

"Dr. Su, not only does this prince know that this worm is a Gu worm, but I can also determine what kind of Gu poison this assassin died from."

Xiao Jin's tone was calm, giving Su Tan no chance to refute. She released a series of tough words like asking and answering herself.

If Xiao Jin had previously exaggerated her abilities and confused Su Tan, she had now begun to reconsider what the other had said.

The reason was that the poison in the assassin's throat was actually developed by her. She just didn't know why it appeared in Qi country.

However, this matter involved the secrets of Emperor Yao, and few people knew about it except for the most respected people in Yao country.

Therefore, Su Tan put down her small knife, and even had a hint of laughter in her voice: "Please speak, your highness. I am willing to listen to the details."

[Ding! Congratulations, player. Su Tan's favorability +10]

Xiao Jin looked at Su Tan's slightly raised lips and was somewhat puzzled.
