Chapter 748: Calm Madness

Liu Ji was even more confused.

Although it was shocking to know that his daughter's friend had a grandmother who was a queen.

But!

Who was Qin Yao?

She was a woman who would kill without blinking an eye, and she was as steady as a mountain even when the sky fell. She looked down on them, the mortals, equally!

Is there anything else in this world that is worth making her palms sweat?

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

Apart from that, he really couldn't think of a second reason that could make her palms sweat.

Contrary to Liu Ji's expectations, 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 a lot.

The tremor from the depths of her soul made her hair stand on end.

After confirming with her eyes, Xu Wenqing was not from this world either!

But this matter was obviously not suitable to be shared with Liu Ji.

She couldn't even tell anyone else except herself, and could only digest this incredible new discovery alone.

Qin Yao was shocked for a long time.

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

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

And the abnormality of Xu Wenqing was so weak that it could not be captured.

What kind of scheming and inhuman endurance is this?

But she has always been determined to improve the status and power of women in Shengguo.

Thanks to her, Si Niang can go to school, and noble women have an additional way to make achievements.

But these can't change, this is an era of feudal imperial power supremacy.

Xu Wenqing is already the queen who is above one person and ten thousand people. Her attitude can easily determine the life and death of an ordinary civilian.

Qin Yao didn't notice the joy of her companions who traveled through time at all. She just felt that she had returned to the end of the world full of man-eating zombies and mutant plants and animals.

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

Take the initiative to show goodwill?

Forget it!

Xu Wenqing may have set up a trap just waiting for her to fall into it.

He has even sent people to investigate her identity and background.

Qin Yao now feels uneasy. The strong sense of uneasiness and crisis makes her have to do something, and it is best to act immediately.

What can she do?

Qin Yao fell into deep thought.

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

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

Qin Yao smiled bitterly, she didn't know that she was in the mood to make this unfunny joke.

In Liu Ji's eyes, she was dazed and dazed, and suddenly laughed out loud, calm madness, and the sense of horror was instantly full.

Liu Ji got up and closed the door. He decided 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 "dong", 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 to worry about tomorrow, which she doesn't know whether it will come or not!

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

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

Before leaving, he went to Qin Yao's door and repeatedly told her to remember to come to him and watch Cuju together.

Qin Yao was half asleep and perfunctorily agreed.

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

The weather was hot, so Qin Yao wore a very thin, original-color 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 things that looked like weapons, Qin Yao took off the daggers, slingshots, etc. that she usually wore and left them at home. She only took a short gauze veil to protect herself from the sun, and left the house relaxedly.

Shangyang Palace is located to the east of Ziwei Palace, and there is a road in the middle that leads directly to Ziwei Palace.

But if Qin Yao wants to go there, she must first ride a horse to Xihe River, put the horse on the river bank, and then take a ferry across the river to reach the gate of Shangyang Palace.

She went late, and there were not many people when she crossed the river. She took a boat alone and successfully arrived at the gate of the palace.

Before she entered, she could already hear the lively noise inside.

The nobles, officials, their families, and servants and guards of each family walked through the long city gate and saw that it was crowded with people.

Qin Yao was dressed in plain clothes, which made her look out of place among the nobles and their families who were dressed gorgeously.

But she didn't look like a servant, so she was looked at by countless curious eyes. However, since they didn't know her, no one dared to talk to her.

Qin Yao walked calmly to the gate of the racecourse. The palace servants and royal guards were responsible for the second body search and checking the invitation.

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

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

"Mrs. Qin."

The eunuch 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, so she turned away from the flowers and bonsais and was pleasantly surprised to see Yun Nuo's handsome face.

Yunnuo smiled at her, raised his hand to the left and made an invitation gesture, 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.

Then he heard an unknown "ha" laugh coming from behind him.

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 take a seat 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 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 imperial master were in charge of this Cuju competition.
