Quick Wear: The Abusive Heroine Loves Her Loyal Male Supporting Character

The next day, the sacrificial ceremony officially began.

Feng Qingzhi was wearing a dark gold-gilded brocade robe, holding a scepter with intricate patterns in both hands, and walked slowly to the altar, with a bell ringing with every step.

As the high priest, Luo Hua had been waiting there early. When she came up, he took the scepter and handed her three lit incense sticks.

After the worship ceremony, Feng Qingzhi read the sacrificial text.

"...The three autumns are peaceful, the four seas are at peace, the phoenix arrives, the weather is good, the phoenix blesses, the country and the people live in peace and prosperity..."

As the sun rose, purple smoke swirled around, and a clear and firm voice echoed on every stone slab. Feng Luan led everyone to kneel down devoutly one by one.

After the recitation, the ceremony only had one last item left, and the high priest listened to the oracle.

It is actually the art of divination.

During the annual hunting festival, the high priest would predict possible major disasters in the coming year in order to avoid misfortune.

The servant boy came forward with a tray containing three bone counting chips.

Luo Hua took out a piece and silently recited the spell. The abacus in his hand had changed into a pattern that was intricate and bright, with large red characters showing:

'The gray wolf has white hair, and is imprisoned with the phoenix. This brings chaos to the country, and the fate of the nation is in jeopardy.'

Luohua's fingertips trembled and she looked at Feng Qingzhi.

Feng Qingzhi glanced down.

Everyone knelt down and bowed their heads, waiting for her to read the oracle.

Is there something wrong with Bu Wen?

Before Feng Qingzhi could figure it out, Luo Hua had already put the abacus in front of her.

His pupils suddenly shrank for a moment, and Feng Qingzhi immediately thought of what the palace maid said in his dream.

When Jiuyuan died, blood was gushing out of all his orifices and his hair was completely white...and when he was a secret guard, the mask he wore was that of the Gray Wolf!

This was definitely not a coincidence. Putting aside the matter of Jiuyuan's white hair, this divination text was different from the one in the dream. If it wasn't someone's doing something, then it was because she avoided the dream and brought about a new disaster...

Unfortunately, Feng Qingzhi never believed in God, she only believed that everything was in human hands!

Luohua, is he plotting against Jiuyuan?

"Please ask the Saint to read the oracle." Luo Hua looked at her helplessly.

In an instant, Feng Qingzhi thought a lot in her mind, and finally, she read the oracle aloud.

As the voice fell, the people kneeling on the ground immediately panicked.

"It is causing chaos in the country and putting the fate of the nation at risk? Isn't it possible that a disaster is about to happen?!"

"What does this gray wolf with white hair mean?"

"Is the imprisonment with Feng Lai related to the Saint?"

"I'm afraid that the Saint is so arrogant and immoral that even the gods can't stand it anymore..."

This sentence was said by Elder Zhu.

Upon hearing this, the other elders also began to blame Feng Qingzhi.

"Keeping a male lover is already a heresy. Now you come to the sacrificial site and get entangled with the guards. This is simply a disgrace to the name of the Saint!"

"Please forgive the gods... please enlighten the saint!"

"The gods are angry, shouldn't we choose another messenger?"

"Feng Qingzhi disobeyed the gods and is not worthy of being a saint!"

Amid the chaotic accusations, Feng Luan's face had turned ashen.

But this group of old guys believe in oracles the most. If things really get out of hand, she won’t be able to keep Qingzhi’s position!

Jiu Yuan on the side raised his eyes and looked at the beautiful figure on the altar.

Gray Wolf, you mean him?

Baishou, are you talking about the fact that he violated the instructions of Shuying Pavilion and had second thoughts towards his master?

So even the gods thought he was unworthy...

Although the surroundings were extremely noisy, Jiuyuan's world was silent at this moment.

If he died here, it would bring peace to His Highness...

Jiuyuan's eyes wandered over her reluctantly, and finally he took a step forward.

However, after just this one step, he felt his hands and feet become stiff and unable to move anymore.

Yes...Your Highness?

Your Highness used the Gu King to stop him!

He is not tolerated by the gods. Your Highness, do you still want to protect him?

Jiu Yuan was unable to move and could only stare blankly at the figure on the platform...

"Are you dissatisfied with the high priest?"

Feng Qingzhi sneered, looking down at everyone, "Otherwise, why don't you wait for the high priest to interpret the oracle, but guess secretly? In addition... no matter what the oracle means, I am still the saint at this moment. Are you ready to bear the punishment of God for insulting the saint?"

The elders looked at each other and gradually fell silent.

Elder Zhu gritted his teeth unwillingly, knelt down and kowtowed, "I will listen to the high priest's interpretation!"

Feng Qingzhi read the oracle truthfully and did not intentionally push Jiuyuan into the fire pit.

Luo Hua had seen Jiu Yuan's gray wolf mask. If he directly targeted Jiu Yuan when interpreting it, he would be able to confirm that this oracle was deliberately made by him.

Since it was deliberate, she could ask Na Heng to divine and find clues to save Jiu Yuan.

And if Luo Hua helps to conceal this, it will prove that he...

Feng Qingzhi looked at Luo Hua with a sullen face, "High Priest, please."

Luo Hua was shocked and didn't understand whether her expression was directed at herself or the elders.

But it is undeniable that his next words will determine her attitude towards him in the future.

After struggling for a long time, he slowly said, "The oracle indicates that... during the hunt tomorrow, Your Highness the Saint will encounter a white-headed gray wolf. If Your Highness sees it as rare and brings it back to the palace, you may be injured by it..."

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

Actually, it’s just like this?

But the high priest does not interfere in state affairs and only reports to the emperor, so no one would suspect that the high priest has selfish motives.

Feng Qingzhi savored it carefully and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Such a specific and even somewhat far-fetched interpretation can only fool those old guys.

Her expression eased slightly, and then she said to everyone, "If that's the case, then we should go hunting tomorrow to avoid this."

She said this lightly, and then she stepped down from the altar and walked to Jiuyuan and stood still.

Regardless of everyone's excited expressions, Feng Qingzhi gently took his hand and said, "It's over, let's go back."

Luo Hua liked her and cared about his attitude towards her, so he interpreted Bu Wen in a far-fetched and flattering way after she gave him the cold shoulder.

But so what?

His love was only to the extent that he would hesitate when opening his mouth, which was not even a fraction of the step that her Jiu Yuan took at the cost of his life...

As for Jiu Yuan, he would have no complaints even if His Highness asked him to die on the spot, not to mention confirming his existence in front of the oracle?

There were too many emotions surging, and he didn't know how to express them in words. He could only hug his highness tightly when the two returned to the room.

"How can I be so virtuous..."

Feng Qingzhi stroked his back gently, and patiently said with a smile, "My Ah Yuan is handsome and skilled in martial arts... He considers everything for me, even cleaning the ugly toad I gave him every day, and carving my silver bell to protect me all the time... I can't finish talking about your strengths, Ah Yuan, I love you so much!"

At the end of the speech, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Her innate pride made her ashamed to say that she loved a secret guard who criticized her and whom she had never even seen his true face.

But it was that big fool who would rather kneel down and accept punishment and persuade her next time who inexplicably won her heart.

If she had expressed her feelings earlier, would Jiu Yuan have been more confident? Would they not have wasted these days?

"Your Highness..."

Feeling the heat on his neck, Jiu Yuan's eagerness turned into helplessness. He wanted to push the person away to check, but Feng Qingzhi wouldn't let him.

"Don't look at me, I must look ugly when I cry!"

Jiu Yuan kissed her hair, "Your Highness is not ugly. In my heart, no one can compare to you."

Feng Qingzhi cried and then laughed, kissing his face all the way.

Lips and tongues intertwined, tender and affectionate.

Jiuyuan's heart also developed a courage that was almost arrogant due to the endless love.

He says,

"Zhizhi, I love you so much, too."
