Quick Wear: Don't Follow the Plot and Feel Good

Chapter 226 High Priest

Shen Anyu has been practicing in the mountains with her master since she was a child. One day, while coming down the mountain, she ran into Lu Zhao, who was unconscious after being chased by an assassin.

Her master taught her to do more good deeds since she was young, so she brought Lu Zhao back to the mountain.

Later, Lu Zhao saw that her divination was very accurate, so he persuaded her to come down the mountain and help him seize the throne.

The master said that this is your destiny, so when he ascends the throne, come back quickly and never interfere again.

Later, Lu Zhao ascended the throne as he wished, and kept his promise, appointing Shen Anyu as the high priest.

And on the day of his enthronement, he would make the general's sister Liu Yanhong the imperial concubine.

Shen Anyu kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is not possible. I have divined that if you make Liu a noble concubine, there will be chaos in the world in two years."

When Lu Zhao heard this, he indeed hesitated.

At this time, Zhou Lanfang stepped forward and said, "Senior Sister, you and I are from the same school, so why are my predictions completely different from yours? Concubine Liu has the appearance of a mother who can model the country for the nation. If Your Majesty can make her empress, our Great Qi will surely enjoy prosperity and peace!"

Lu Zhao instantly became happy again, "Are you serious?"

"Of course. Your Majesty, my senior sister can tell fortunes, and so can I. And I've seen that her divinations are always unfavorable to Your Majesty. I'm afraid it's because she covets the Emperor, so she's jealous and talking nonsense!"

"Lan Fang! How can you talk nonsense! Do you know how many lives will be lost if the world falls into chaos in the future? Master taught us to take saving the people as our responsibility, how can you be so confused?" Shen Anyu said anxiously.

"Senior Sister, what are you talking about? My divination is completely different from yours. You and I studied at the same time, and my divination is no worse than yours. You must want to be the imperial concubine, so you slandered the imperial concubine."

When Liu Yanhong heard this, she burst into tears, which made Lu Zhao feel distressed. He immediately ordered Shen Anyu to be taken to Chunhong Court to learn the rules.

(I don’t understand why we have to go to a brothel to learn the rules, but that’s what the novel says anyway)

The madam of Chunhongyuan obeyed Liu Yanhong's orders and forced her to receive customers.

Unable to bear the humiliation, Shen Anyu committed suicide.

Even though two years later, as she predicted, Liu Yanhong's brother rebelled and Da Qi was destroyed, Shen Anyu still hated him.

"I want to live a secluded life with my master and no longer care about the world."

"As you wish!" After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.

……

On this day, Sheng Jiang went down the mountain and met the unconscious Lu Zhao.

She didn't have the patience to save people out of kindness. In these chaotic times, it didn't matter who sat on the throne. If there was no Lu Zhao, there would be Li Zhao and Wang Zhao. Anyway, no matter who was the emperor, their attitude towards the people would be the same.

Sheng Jiang quickly dug a big hole, threw him in, and buried him on the spot.

At night, it suddenly started to rain heavily, pouring directly into the big pit, breaking a hole in the soil and revealing Lu Zhao's clothes.

Duoduo said, "Ginger, this rain is so strange."

Sheng Jiang said, "Of course the author was reluctant to see her male protagonist die, so she changed the plot."

"According to convention, what are you going to do with the author who insults women?"

"Just give it to the original owner."

Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in front of the screen, was wondering why the plot suddenly changed. Suddenly, she saw a hand reaching out from the screen, which scared her so much that she started screaming.

Sheng Jiang dragged her into the world of the novel and handed her over to Shen Anyu.

"Why did you write such a bad story about me? What's wrong with me advising the emperor? Do you want him to arrange for me to go to Chunhong Courtyard?"

"You are the character in my pen. I can write whatever I want! I'm telling you, let me go back now! Otherwise, I will write you even worse! Make your life worse than death!"

Shen An slapped her in the face, "If that's the case, then don't go back! You like brothels, I'll let you stay there for ten lifetimes! I'll make you not only receive customers at night, but also serve people during the day!"

Xiao Xiao was anxious, "You dare!"

He rushed forward to hit someone, but was kicked away by Shen Anyu. Then he took the thorny whip and whipped Xiao Xiao until her whole body was covered in blood.

"I want to... go back! I... don't want to... stay in this... cannibalistic society! Quick... let me... go back! You... vicious... woman..."

Shen Anyu listened to the little plea for mercy and sneered, "Idiot! You regret it now? It's too late!"

Then he dragged the unconscious Xiaoxiao to Chunhongyuan.

On the other side, Zhou Lanfang came down the mountain and saw Lu Zhao, whose clothes were exposed due to the heavy rain. He recognized him as the emperor of the previous life, pulled him out and took him back.

In her previous life, she helped Concubine Liu get rid of Shen Anyu. She had initially thought the emperor would appoint her as high priestess, but he didn't. Later, as the Great Qi Dynasty fell into chaos, the emperor remembered Shen Anyu's prophecy and, displeased with her poor divination skills, ordered her execution.

Without Shen Anyu in this life, she found Lu Zhao in advance and was determined to help him conquer the world and become the high priest!

Lu Zhao hadn't recovered his memories from his previous life. Upon waking, he discovered Zhou Lanfang. Learning she was a fortune teller, he thought of the few troops he had. If he didn't use divination to avoid danger and seek good fortune, how could he possibly conquer the world?

"Miss," Lu Zhao looked at Zhou Lanfang affectionately, "Thank you so much for saving me. I will never forget it."

“It’s just a small effort, not worth mentioning”

"To be honest, young lady, I am King Lu Zhao of Qi. These are troubled times, and heroes and talents are emerging everywhere. Your divination skills are truly profound and unfathomable.

If you can use this technique to help me conquer the world and save the people from disaster, Lu Zhao hereby swears that he will appoint you as the high priestess, and you will become the first female official of the founding of the country and be respected by all generations. What do you think, young lady?

Zhou Lanfang was naturally willing and followed him down the mountain. In order to prevent Lu Zhao from discovering Shen Anyu, she didn't even bid farewell to her master.

As soon as she stepped down the mountain, Sheng Jiang set up a barrier to prevent anyone from outside from finding this place. From then on, she and her master lived a carefree life.

It was a time of turmoil. In her previous life, Lu Zhao had unified the empire for only two years when Liu Yanhong's brother successfully rebelled.

In the fifth year of his reign, his nephew assassinated him and took his place.

After that, the country became even more chaotic, lasting for 200 years. Then a sage appeared and truly unified the world.

So, in the previous life, Shen Anyu wanted to stop the chaos, but that was impossible. In this life, Sheng Jiang just had to lie down.

Zhou Lanfang was also very capable. As expected, Lu Zhao quickly gained the support of most of the heroes and decided to choose a date to ascend the throne.

Zhou Lanfang gradually lost herself in her relationship with Lu Zhao. She no longer wanted to be the high priestess, but wanted to be the queen.

Ginger eating melon: Awesome! Ambitious!

Lu Zhao withdrew all the gentle words he had said to her before, after all, she already had her true love Liu Yanhong. But he still comforted her and said,

"Priest Zhou, our Great Qi is still unstable. Miss Liu's brother is the general and my most capable assistant. I cannot lose his support, otherwise the country will surely fall into chaos again.

When I gain a firm foothold and secure the throne, I will definitely depose her and make you my queen!"

"Really?" Zhou Lanfang asked hesitantly.

"Of course! It's more real than pearls!" Then he rewarded her with many rare treasures to take back to the mansion.

Liu Yanhong didn't want these words to be heard. At this moment, she hadn't made up her mind whether to help her brother or Lu Zhao.

She ran to Lu Zhao angrily and asked him. Lu Zhao hugged her and coaxed her, "Yanhong, how I treat you, don't you understand in your heart? Do you want me to give you my heart?"

"Although Priestess Zhou is only a priestess, her divinations are rarely wrong, so I have to be on guard against her. Since she has ill intentions towards me, I can only try to appease her with kind words.

Although I have become the emperor, I also know that without your Liu family, I would not be where I am today. It can be said that the position I can sit on now is given to me by your Liu family, so I am only grateful to the Liu family.

I only made you a noble concubine, but you are the only one in my harem. Don’t you understand what I mean? "

"Yanhong, I promise that once I have secured the throne and eliminated all threats, I will make you my empress."

Liu Yanhong burst into laughter, "Then when the time comes, that bitch Zhou Lanfang must be handed over to me and I will do whatever I want with her!"

"That's natural"

The two of them were affectionate for a while. Unexpectedly, these words reached Zhou Lanfang's ears. She was furious, thinking that Liu Yanhong had instigated Lu Zhao to be on guard against her.

So, on the day when Lu Zhao ordered Liu Yanhong to be appointed as his consort during the Emperor's coronation ceremony, Zhou Lanfang knelt in public and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed!"

Lu Zhao suppressed his anger and asked, "What's the matter, my dear?"

"Your Majesty, I observed the celestial phenomena at night and saw the Ziwei star floating unsteadily. Last night, I divined and found that Concubine Liu is a demonic concubine who will bring disaster to the country! If Your Majesty insists on making her a consort, within two years, our Great Qi will be destroyed."

"What nonsense!" Lu Zhao was furious. "Lord Zhou, I appreciate your sincere devotion to me and will not pursue your rude words this time! Leave!"

Zhou Lanfang refused to retreat. "Your Majesty, please reconsider! I am loyal to you and have no selfish motives. I beg you to revoke your order and ensure the peace and prosperity of the Great Qi Kingdom, and a long life for all!"

Liu Yanhong's face turned livid with anger, and she couldn't speak freely. She threw herself into Lu Zhao's arms and sobbed, which broke Lu Zhao's heart.

"Your Majesty," Liu Yong stepped out, "Although I am a rough man, I also understand the subtle thoughts between women. I have heard that Priest Zhou has a crush on Your Majesty. Could it be that because Your Majesty is going to make him a noble concubine, he is jealous and deliberately slandering my sister?"

Zhou Lanfang, "General Liu, why do you say that? I was simply being pragmatic! I was wholeheartedly concerned for the well-being of Great Qi. How come General Liu's words have turned it into a matter of personal gain?"

"Humph! Isn't that right? If you didn't covet the emperor, why would you dare to secretly keep his portrait in your palace?"

"You!" Zhou Lanfang was furious.

"Master Zhou, you can't explain it, right? Are you feeling guilty? Do you dare to have someone search your house?"

"So what? I'm the high priest. Without my divination skills, how could the emperor have always escaped danger? Now, I'm just clearing away future crises for him once again. What's wrong with that?"

When Lu Zhao heard what Zhou Lanfang had said, his face darkened. Even an ordinary man, after making a fortune, wouldn't want his past mentioned.

What's more, he was an emperor. To him, this seemed like a shame, the shame of relying on women to achieve success!

"Come here! Priestess Zhou has spoken rudely and plotted against me. Today, I will strip her of her official uniform and demote her to a commoner! I will send her to Chunhong Courtyard to teach her a lesson!"

Zhou Lanfang looked at Lu Zhao in disbelief, "Your Majesty! How could you do this to me? No, I don't believe it! Let me go! I won't go!"

"Your Majesty, please, let me go! I can't go!"

Where was Shen Anyu in her previous life, and what kind of life did she lead? She didn't want to experience it.

She could imagine what Liu Yanhong would do to her once she went to Chunhongyuan. She would definitely make her life worse than death!

Lu Zhao looked at her coldly. Only then did Zhou Lanfang realize that Lu Zhao had never loved her!

"Lu Zhao! You will not live a good life! If it weren't for me, how could you have sat on the throne? You actually crossed the river and destroyed the bridge! I curse you to die a bad death!"

No matter how much she cursed, she ended up at Chunhongyuan, where the madam arranged for her to receive a client that night.

"Priest Zhou, please don't blame me. We all listen to the one in the palace. After all, he is the most favored by the emperor. Even if you die, don't seek revenge on me. Seek revenge on the person who sent you here."

Zhou Lanfang lived a life worse than death every day. But she couldn't commit suicide. Her tendons had been severed, and she could no longer divine. She had no idea what the future held. Every day was a blur.

Two years later, General Liu forced the emperor to abdicate, assassinated Lu Zhao, and ascended the throne.

Before his death, Lu Zhao begged Liu Yanhong for mercy.

"Forgive you? When you married me, you said we'd be together forever. But in less than half a year, new people have entered the harem one after another. You've taken in so many new people, but have you ever considered my feelings?

Since you've broken your oath, don't blame me for being cruel! Why not let my brother be the emperor? If I were a princess, I could have as many concubines as I wanted.

Of course, if you want, you can also please me. If I am in a good mood, I might even take you as my first male favorite."

"Don't even think about it!"

"Then go to die!"

Of course Lu Zhao didn't die, Sheng Jiang also dragged him to Chunhongyuan.

Five years later, Emperor Liu was assassinated by his nephew. To eradicate the culprit, he sent someone to give Liu Yanhong a cup of poisoned wine.

No matter how unwilling Liu Yanhong was, she was forced to drink it. As soon as the poisonous wine entered her stomach, her intestines and stomach turned upside down. She rolled on the ground in pain, sweating profusely and in agony.

But she didn't die, and was also sent to Chunhongyuan by Sheng Jiang.

The madam was overjoyed to see her, "Your Highness, no, Liu Yanhong, you used to be so high and mighty, looking down on us like ants. How did you end up like this now?

"Take her away! Dress her up! She was once the emperor's favorite concubine, so I think our Chunhong Courtyard will definitely be very popular!"

Xiao Xiao has been here for seven years. Seeing that all the main characters in her book have arrived, she was overwhelmed and said, "What has happened to my plot? How can I finish this book?"

"Lu Zhao, you're the hero, how could you come to this filthy place? Why aren't you dead? If you die, I can finish this book, and I can go home, back to my original world! Why aren't you dead yet?"

No matter how Xiao Xiao collapsed, no matter how he tried to assassinate Lu Zhao, he was still alive and well. He even lived to be 100 years old!

Xiaoxiao: ??? This is absolutely outrageous! Who works in this place every day and lives to be 100?

Just when she thought she could escape from the world in the book, she opened her eyes and found herself back to the beginning.

Sheng Jiang: We agreed on ten lifetimes, but this is only one, and there are still nine to go! Work hard, workers!

As for the madam, Sheng Jiang had Duo Duo take over Chun Hong Yuan, so naturally she was also asked to entertain customers. After all, this was what she was best at.
