After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 748: Calm Madness

Liu Ji was even more confused.

Although it is shocking to know that my daughter's friend has an aunt who is a queen.

but!

Who is Qin Yao?

She is a woman who kills without blinking an eye, and remains as steady as a rock even when the sky falls. She looks down upon these mortal men equally!
Are there any people or things in this world that are worth making her palms sweat?

"Did the Holy Queen scare you?" Liu Ji asked tentatively, not quite believing it.

Other than that, he couldn't think of any other reason that could make her palms sweat.

Contrary to Liu Ji's expectations, he thought she would sneer disdainfully and then mock him for overthinking.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yao nodded with a serious face, "Yes, she scared me."

If she guessed correctly, she also scared Xu Wenqing a lot.

The shudder that came from the depths of her soul made the hairs on her body stand on end.

After confirming through eye contact, 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 anyone else except herself and could only digest this unbelievable new discovery alone.

Qin Yao was so shocked that she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Even though she had suspected that a time traveler might have been here at the beginning of her time travel from the clues revealed by the people around her.

But Arabic numerals, movable type printing, and glass soap have been around for at least a hundred years.

However, the abnormality in Xu Wenqing was so subtle that it was hard to detect.

What kind of scheming and inhuman endurance is this?

However, she has always been determined to improve the status and power of women in Sheng State.

Thanks to her, Si Niang was able to go to school, and aristocratic women also had an additional way to achieve success in their careers.

But none of this can be changed, as this is an era where feudal imperial power is supreme.

Xu Wenqing is already the queen, second only to the emperor. Her attitude can easily determine the life or death of an ordinary civilian.

Qin Yao did not notice the joy of her time-traveling companions at all. She just felt that she had returned to the end of the world where man-eating zombies and mutated plants and animals were everywhere.

No one is worthy of her trust, and every human who appears in her sight may become an enemy that threatens her survival.

Take the initiative to show goodwill?
Pull it down!

Xu Wenqing might have already set a tight net for her, waiting for her to fall into it.

Even now, people have been sent to investigate her identity and background.

Qin Yao just feels uneasy now. The strong sense of uneasiness and crisis forces her to do something, and it would be best to act immediately.

What could she do?

Qin Yao fell into deep thought.

Liu Ji watched the person in front of him become dazed again, and waved his hand in front of her, "Madam?"

Qin Yao raised her hand and pointed at the door. "Go out. I want to be quiet. Don't ask me who Jingjing is."

Qin Yao smiled bitterly. She didn't even know that she was in the mood to make such an unfunny joke.

In Liu Ji's eyes, she was in a daze and suddenly laughed out loud, a calm madness, and the sense of horror was instantly maximized.

Liu Ji got up and closed the door, deciding to cook a pot of mung bean porridge to calm himself down. As soon as Liu Ji left, the room became quiet, with only the crackling sound of the burning candle wick.

After a muffled "bang" sound, Qin Yao, who was thinking, successfully fell asleep on the table.

Since the end of the world came, she has developed a good mental state - not worrying about a tomorrow that she doesn't know whether it will come or not!

So, before Qin Yao could figure out what she could do, the day of the Cuju competition arrived.

Liu Ji wanted to accompany Gong Liangliao, so he went to the Imperial Master's Mansion early.

Before leaving, he went to Qin Yao's door and repeatedly reminded her to remember to come find him so that they could watch Cuju together.

Qin Yao was half asleep and responded perfunctorily.

When she woke up, the sun had already risen. She slowly ate the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Awang at home, then put on her makeup and prepared to leave.

The weather was hot, so Qin Yao wore a very thin, natural linen dress.

Because Yin Le had gone to work in the shop and was not at home, there was no one to help her do her hair, so she braided a simple long braid that fell diagonally on her shoulders and inserted a gold hairpin as an embellishment.

Because she was not allowed to carry any weapons or anything that looked like weapons, Qin Yao took off the dagger, slingshot and other items she usually carried and left them at home. She only took a short gauze hat to protect herself from the sun and left the house with ease.

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 wanted to get there, she had to first ride a horse to Xihe River, leave the horse on the river bank, and then take a ferry across the river before she could arrive at the gate of Shangyang Palace.

She arrived late and there were not many people crossing the river. She took a boat alone and successfully arrived at the palace gate.

Before entering, you can already hear the lively noise inside.

The nobles, officials, their families, and servants and guards who accompanied them walked through the long and cubital city gate and saw it was crowded with people.

Qin Yao was dressed in plain clothes, and seemed out of place among the nobles and their families who were dressed in gorgeous attire.

But she didn't look like a servant, so she received countless curious looks. However, since they didn't know her, no one dared to approach her and talk to her.

Qin Yao walked calmly to the gate of the racecourse, where palace maids and royal guards were responsible for a second body search and checking the invitation.

Even though Qin Yao arrived late, the queue was still very long.

She waited for nearly a quarter of an hour before it was her turn.

"Mrs. Qin."

The eunuch who was in charge of checking the invitations took her invitation, handed it back politely, and called her.

Qin Yao thought the voice sounded familiar. She withdrew her gaze from the bonsai flowers and turned to look over. She was quite surprised to see Yun Nuo's handsome face.

Yunnuo smiled at her, raised his hand to the left and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that she should go to the left side of the women's room for a body search and enter.

Qin Yao knew he was busy, so she nodded, greeted him, and walked to the left.

Then I heard an ambiguous laugh from behind me.

Qin Yao turned around and saw that it was Xu Zhong, the personal guard who was almost like a family member to the princess.

Seeing her turn her head to look at him, Xu Zhong immediately put away the unhappy look on his face, politely cupped his fist towards her, stood up and pointed to a seat covered with a red skylight and said:
"Madam Qin, please go to the southeast and sit in the red tent. His Highness will be here soon."

Xu Zhong thought that since she came to accept the invitation from his Highness, she should naturally sit in the seat arranged by his Highness, so he came to remind her.

"No, I have another seat." Qin Yao shook her head slightly to refuse.

Although she didn't want to admit it, the fact was that she came here because of Si Kongjian's invitation.

What's more, she had promised Liu Laosan that she would go find him.

Qin Yao nodded politely to Xu Zhong, turned around and went into the room where the women were being searched, leaving Xu Zhong standing there with a suspicious look on his face, wondering whose invitation Qin Yao had accepted.

The people responsible for the body search were the guards of the Princess's mansion. Qin Yao also roughly guessed that the Princess and the Imperial Master were jointly in charge of this Cuju competition.
