Chapter 748: Calm Madness
Liu Ji was even more confused.
Although it is shocking to know that my daughter's little friend has an aunt who is a queen.
but!
Who is Qin Yao?
She is a woman who kills people without batting an eyelid, and is as stable as a mountain even when the sky falls. She despises these mortal strangers equally!
Is there anything else in this world that is worthy of making her palms sweat?
"Did the Holy Queen scare you?" Liu Ji asked tentatively, not believing it.
Other than that, he couldn't think of another reason that could make her palms sweat.
Contrary to Liu Ji's expectation, he thought she would sneer disdainfully, and then mock him for thinking too much.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yao actually nodded with a serious face, "Yes, she scared me."
If she guessed correctly, she also scared Xu Wenqing quite a lot.
The trembling that came from the depths of her soul made the hairs on her body stand on end.
Looking at him to confirm, Xu Wenqing is not from this world either!
But this matter is obviously not suitable to be shared with Liu Ji.
She couldn't even tell a second person besides herself, so she could only digest this incredible new discovery alone.
Qin Yao was shocked in her heart and could not calm down for a long time.
Even at the beginning of the time travel, she had the suspicion that a time traveler might have visited here from the clues revealed by the people around her.
But those Arabic numerals, movable type printing, and glass soap have been around for at least a hundred years.
As for the anomalies in Xu Wenqing, they are too faint to be caught.
What kind of scheming and inhuman endurance is this?
However, she has always been determined to improve the status and power of women in the Sheng Kingdom.
Thanks to her, Si Niang was able to go to school, and aristocratic women also had an additional way to build a career.
But none of this can be changed. This is an era where feudal imperial power is supreme.
Xu Wenqing is already a queen who is inferior to one person and surpasses ten thousand people. Her attitude can easily determine the life or death of an ordinary civilian.
Qin Yao didn't feel the joy of traveling with her companions at all. She just felt that she had returned to the end of the world where man-eating zombies and mutated animals and plants were everywhere.
No one is worthy of her trust. Every human being who appears within sight may become an enemy that threatens her survival.
Take the initiative to show your kindness?
Pull it down!
Xu Wenqing might have laid a dragnet just waiting for her to fall into it.
Even now, someone has been sent to investigate her identity and background.
Qin Yao just feels uneasy now. The strong sense of uneasiness and crisis makes her have to do something. It is best to act immediately.
What can she do?
Qin Yao fell into deep thought.
Liu Ji watched helplessly as the person in front of him became stunned again, and waved his hand in front of her eyes, "Madam?"
Qin Yao raised her finger and pointed at the door, "You go out, I want Jingjing, don't ask me who Jingjing is."
Qin Yao smiled bitterly. She didn't know that she was still in the mood to make this joke that was not funny.
In Liu Ji's eyes, she was in a daze, and suddenly she laughed out loud. She was calm and crazy, and the feeling of horror was instantly filled.
Liu Ji got agitated, got up and closed the door and went out, deciding to cook a pot of mung bean porridge to calm himself down. As soon as Liu Ji left, the room immediately became quiet, with only the faint crackling sound of the candle wick burning.
After a muffled "dong" sound, Qin Yao, who was thinking, successfully fell asleep on the table.
Since the end of the world, she has developed a good mental state - not worrying about tomorrow that she doesn't know yet whether there will be or not!
So, before Qin Yao could figure out what she could do, the day of the Cuju competition had arrived.
Liu Ji wanted to accompany Gong Liangliao and went to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion early.
Before leaving, he went to the door of Qin Yao's room and told her again and again that she must remember to come to him and watch Cuju together.
Qin Yao was half asleep and responded perfunctorily.
When she woke up, the sun had already risen. She slowly finished the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Awang at home, then put away her makeup and prepared to leave.
The weather was hot, so Qin Yao wore a particularly thin piece of primary-color linen clothing.
Since Yin Le had already gone to work in the shop and was away from home, there was no one to help her do her hair. She braided a simple long braid herself and hung it on her shoulders, and inserted a gold hairpin for decoration.
Since she was not allowed to carry any weapons or anything that looked like weapons, Qin Yao took off the daggers, slingshots and other items she usually wore and put them at home. She only took a short gauze fence and put it on to protect her from the sun, and left the house relaxedly.
Shangyang Palace is located to the east of Ziwei Palace, with a road in the middle leading directly to Ziwei Palace.
But if Qin Yao wants to go there, he must first ride to the Xihe River, put the horse on the bank of the river, and then ferry across the river to reach the gate of Shangyang Palace.
She arrived late, and there was no one there when she crossed the river. She took a boat and successfully arrived at the palace gate.
Even before entering, you can already hear the bustle inside.
The ministers and officials, their families, and the accompanying servants and guards of each family looked through the long urn city gate and saw that they were all crowded and crowded.
Qin Yao was dressed in plain clothes and looked out of place among the gorgeously dressed family members of the ministers.
But she didn't look like a servant accompanying her. There were countless curious glances cast at her at that time, and because they didn't know her well, no one rashly came up to talk to her.
Qin Yao walked calmly to the gate of the racecourse where the competition was held. There were palace and royal guards responsible for a second search and checking the invitations.
Even if Qin Yao arrived late, the queue was still very long.
She waited for almost a quarter of an hour before she got in line.
“Mrs. Qin.”
The **** who was responsible for checking the invitations took her invitation, handed it back politely, and called her.
Qin Yao felt that the voice sounded familiar. She turned away from the flowers and bonsai and looked over. She was pleasantly surprised to see Yun Nuo's handsome face.
Yunnuo smiled at her, raised his hand to the left and made a sign of invitation, indicating that she should go to the female family members on the left to search and enter.
Qin Yao knew that he was busy, nodded and said hello, and walked to the left.
Immediately afterwards, I heard an unknown "ha" laugh coming from behind me.
Qin Yao looked back and saw that it was Xu Zhong, the personal guard who was almost like a family member next to the eldest princess.
Seeing her turning her head to look over, Xu Zhong immediately put away the unhappy look on his face, gave her a polite fist, stood up and pointed to an audience seat covered with a red canopy and said:
“Mrs. Qin, please go and sit in the red shed to the southeast. Your Highness will be here soon.”
Xu Zhong thought that she came after receiving an invitation from His Highness, so she should naturally sit in the seat arranged by His Highness, so he came here specifically to remind her.
“No, I have another seat.” Qin Yao shook her head and refused.
Although she didn't want to admit it, in fact she came here because of Sikong Jian's invitation.
What's more, she also promised that guy Liu Laosan that she would go find him.
Qin Yao nodded politely to Xu Zhong, turned around and entered the room where the female family members were searching, leaving Xu Zhong standing there with a suspicious look on his face, thinking about whose invitation Qin Yao had accepted.
The people responsible for the body search were the guards of the eldest princess's house. Qin Yao probably guessed that the eldest princess and the national preceptor were jointly responsible for this Cuju competition.
