406 Framed, the Queen's Evil Plan

Fortunately, Feng Qingchen slipped back to the room before Tong Jue and Tong Yao came to serve her, took off her dirty clothes, messed up the quilt and sheets, and used the remaining water from yesterday to simply wipe them, then changed into a set of clean clothes. As for the dirty clothes...

Feng Qingchen's brows were knotted. She missed Zhou Xing so much... In the past, when Zhou Xing was around, he would clean up her bloodstained clothes without her asking any questions, and he would not ask any more questions. But it was not the same with Tong Jue and Tong Yao. These two people...

They wouldn't ask, but they would think about it, and even check what she had done. Alas, after all, she couldn't completely trust those two people. Feng Qingchen packed the clothes and stuffed them under the bed, preparing to throw them into the stove and burn them at night.

When Tong Jue and Tong Yao came in to serve, they found Feng Qingchen looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes. They were shocked: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" She looked like she hadn't slept all night. The two maids became suspicious and glanced around the room out of the corner of their eyes, but found nothing unusual.

"I had nightmares all night and didn't sleep well." After not sleeping all night, Feng Qingchen's throat was inevitably a little hoarse. He drank a glass of water to moisten his throat before speaking.

Tong Jue and Tong Yao wanted to say something, but seeing that Feng Qingchen didn't want to talk anymore, they shut up obediently. Tong Jue helped Feng Qingchen wash and dress, while Tong Yao went to tidy up the quilt.

Tong Yao's hands froze when she touched the cold quilt. She turned around and saw Feng Qingchen who was washing up. After making sure that Feng Qingchen didn't notice anything unusual about her, Tong Yao took a breath and continued to tidy up the quilt, pretending that she hadn't noticed anything, but a hint of grievance flashed through her heart.

The lady doesn't trust them.

Before Feng Qingchen finished his breakfast, the Queen's reward arrived, not more, not less, a famous musical instrument, a chess manual, a wolf-hair brush, a stack of rice paper and drawing paper used exclusively by the royal family, a set of riding clothes, and a horse whip.

Six items were placed on the table one by one.

Feng Qingchen just wanted to say that the Queen was really stingy. These six things added together were not as good as the authentic calligraphy sent by the Prince. Doesn't the Queen even have the basic courtesy to give her face?

"Miss?" Tong Jue and Tong Yao saw Feng Qingchen staring at the gift from the emperor and reminded her.

"Put it away." Feng Qingchen waved her hand indifferently. She didn't care how much the Queen gave her. Anyway, this was the Queen's attitude.

"Yes." Tong Jue and Tong Yao stepped forward silently, more cautiously than usual. Feng Qingchen smiled. The two maids were probably still blaming her for not telling them about the competition with Su Wan in advance.

In fact, she really forgot to tell them about the competition at that time and did not intend to hide it.

As a result, the two maids learned about her competition with Su Wan from outsiders. Feng Qingchen could understand their feelings, but that was all she could do. She had to do what she had to do.

Not to mention that Tong Jue and Tong Yao were just maids, even if they were her good friends and relatives, things that should be concealed had to be concealed. Everyone has their own secrets, and the reason why a secret is called a secret is because only one person knows it.

She has no interest in sharing her secrets with others, nor is she interested in prying into other people's secrets. She is just a simple person who wants to live a simple life.

Feng Qingchen hurried back to the city because she was afraid that she would not be there when the Queen's reward came down. Now that she had received it, Feng Qingchen was fine. After telling Tong Jue and Tong Yao, Feng Qingchen closed the door and went to sleep.

Last night, she was really exhausted. If it was just the surgery, it would be fine, but she had a fight before that, and now all the muscles in her body were aching, and she was extremely sleepy.

Feng Qingchen fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed. Tong Jue and Tong Yao were even more certain that Feng Qingchen had gone out last night. The two maids looked at each other, seeing bitterness and hurt in each other's eyes, and finally just sighed...

They cannot ask about things that their masters don't want them to know.

The queen elegantly fiddled with the incense in the incense burner, with a rare smile in her eyes: "Is it done?"

"To reply to Your Majesty, everything is settled. Miss Feng has accepted the zither." The old nanny, who was about forty years old, was standing three steps away from the Queen. When she heard the Queen's question, she stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Just accept it. This time, I will make sure Feng Qingchen and the prince have no chance of turning things around." The queen threw away the wood chip and clapped her hands. The nanny behind her immediately presented a clean and warm handkerchief to the queen to wash her hands.

The Queen's hand-wiping movements were very similar to Feng Qingchen's. Both wiped each finger back and forth carefully. The difference was that the Queen's finger-wiping movements were much more graceful than Feng Qingchen's.

Feng Qingchen was just wiping her hands for the sake of wiping them, without any sense of aesthetics, unlike the Queen, who was as delicate as wiping flowers. Her slightly raised little finger had a seductive feel. Although she was nearly forty years old, she looked like a young woman in her thirties, exuding a mature and alluring charm.

Unfortunately, there are too many young and fresh beauties in the palace, and the emperor seldom comes to visit the queen except on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month.

“Don’t worry, your majesty. The zither was modified personally by Mo Wubai, a direct disciple of the Mo family. No one will ever find any flaws in it. When the time comes, just find a chance to knock the zither to the ground, and the things inside will fall out.” The old lady’s face, smiling like a **, looked shabby no matter how you looked at it.

The queen nodded in satisfaction: "Arrange carefully. I will not allow any accidents. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely get it done and will never let Your Majesty down." The old nanny was trying to take credit and flatter the Queen when the eunuch reported that Princess Anping wanted to see her.

"Mother, mother, you must vent my anger for me. That Feng Qingchen is so abominable. He set up a gambling game and said he was doing it for the country and the people. He is simply shameless." Princess Anping was already shouting before she even entered the palace. It is understandable that she was angry again...

Feng Qingchen is just an orphan, and she has been suppressed time and time again. Now she is raising the banner of helping the court and rescuing the poor people. Isn't this clearly targeting her as a princess?

Sharing the worries of the imperial court and helping the poor people, this is what she should do as a princess. Who is Feng Qingchen and why should he steal her limelight?

When Princess Anping thought of the rumors in the imperial city, she burst into tears out of grievance.

The young masters in the imperial city almost pointed at her and said that Princess Anping only knew how to enjoy herself, was ignorant of the sufferings of the world, and did not care about the lives of the people. She was not even as good as Feng Qingchen.

The queen winked at the maid behind her, and the maid retreated respectfully. She knew very well that if she did the job well, the queen would reward her handsomely.

As long as that thing is done, the Crown Prince and Feng Qingchen will be guilty of murdering the Emperor and will be sentenced to death. Even if the Ninth Prince steps in, he will not be able to protect them...

"My child, what happened?" The queen stepped forward and hugged Princess Anping in her arms, with a look of pity on her face.

"Mother..."

Three o'clock to...
