Chapter 635: I Take It Was Your Doing?
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Jiang Xuecheng held the injured woman in his arms. His expression was calm, as if Su Wan was as light as a leaf.
The people standing in front of Jiang Xuecheng looked at each other in dismay. They were drumming in their hearts and did not know whether they should make way.
If they did not make way, they would undoubtedly offend this newly promoted emperor.
However, if they gave way, it would seem as if they did not take the high priest seriously…
Jiang Xuecheng did not give these fence-sitters too much time to think. He carried Su Wan and walked forward resolutely, as if there were not many people blocking the path in front of them, but there was a smooth and un.o.bstructed path instead.
A few drops of cold sweat appeared on the foreheads of the onlookers. When Jiang Xuecheng carried Su Wan over, they all felt their breathing become sluggish, and they felt a suffocating pressure.
Everyone looked at each other and finally moved aside silently.
Seeing that those people had moved aside, Diya widened her eyes in disbelief. She felt a trace of jealousy spread out and flowed continuously in the bottom of her heart.
How could it be!
Diya bit the corner of her lips. She stared hatefully at the woman in the Emperor’s embrace. She wished that her gaze could turn into two daggers and Pierce through Su Wan completely.
“Your Highness, do you really want to lower yourself for such a lowly woman–”
Before Diya could finish speaking, the emperor was already extremely displeased. His face was as gloomy as water, and his indifferent voice was mixed with a strong deterrent force.
“Miss Diya, today is not the time to speak. However, tomorrow I will ask someone to bring you to the G.o.d’s Palace for a chat!”
After saying this, Jiang Xuecheng took Su Wan and left without looking back.
The man walked past Diya. He did not even look at Diya as he walked out of the crowd.
The wind blew, and the shadows of the trees in the garden shook. The moonlight was quiet, and Diya’s face was pale.
Her heart rose and fell violently. She could only clench her hands tightly, trying to calm down her anger and grievance.
–Wasn’t her highness threatening her with revenge?!
Just for such a lowly commoner girl?!
The scene of the emperor carrying Su Wan away kept appearing in her mind. She could not forget it even if she wanted to.
Well, very well!
Diya’s heartstrings suddenly burst. Her plump lips were pursed into a straight line, and deep resentment emerged in her heart.
–If she had known this would happen, she would not have shown mercy. She had only found some tacks for Su Wan to play with!
Perhaps releasing a venomous snake that could kill was more suitable for that vixen woman, Su Wan?!
If it was not for that vixen, Su Wan, who had used some dirty tricks to beguile His Highness, then why did his highness become so irrational and even leave midway?
Just as Diya was feeling resentful, she suddenly heard a woman’s voice that was as cold as flowing water in the mountains.
“Diya, who is that woman?”
Hearing this voice, Diya swallowed her throat and suddenly came back to her senses.
She was so angry that she had forgotten that the high priest was still here. She hurriedly raised her head to look at the high priest and lowered her eyebrows respectfully.
“That woman’s surname is Su and her name is Wan. As for her ident.i.ty!”
Diya paused for a moment, her beautiful face showing full of disdain and contempt.
“She is just a lowly commoner. She is currently working as a chef in the G.o.d’s Palace. She only relied on her good looks to charm his highness so much that he even abandoned you.”
As Diya finished speaking, a faint unwillingness appeared in her eyes, as if it was not worth it to be the high priest.
“High Priest, tell me, how can that woman still remain in the G.o.d’s Palace?”
She had thought that the high priest would definitely agree with her after hearing her words.
In the end, the other party did not say a single word!
This was impossible, how could the high priest not care about the ident.i.ty of that woman!
If His Highness and Su Wan were just fooling around, it would have been fine. But now, they had left the banquet midway. Clearly, he had been charmed by Su Wan to the point of losing his rationality.
Diya was stunned. She looked at the high priest fawningly, only to see the high priest’s pair of beautiful eyes resting casually on the cat in her hand. Her expression was cold and clear, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.
Diya suppressed the doubts in her heart and cautiously probed the high priest.
“High Priest, don’t you think that Su Wan–”
As soon as Diya finished her sentence, the elegant high priest beside her waved her hand lightly, indicating that she did not need to say anything more.
What was this?
Diya could not figure out the high priest’s thoughts, but she was afraid that the high priest would not care about the matter between the emperor and Su Wan.
If the high priest did not mind Su Wan’s ident.i.ty, what would she do?!
The Persian cat was leaning lazily in the high priest’s arms, but its deep emerald eyes were wide open, as if it was looking for fresh prey.
The high priest coldly glanced at Diya. Her beautiful white hands were still continuously stroking the Persian cat’s fur.
“Diya, you are right. His Highness is the ruler of the G.o.d’s palace. He should not be infatuated with such a woman.”
Her clear voice was like the wind blowing against the strings of a Guqin. It suddenly made Diya feel ecstatic!
She had said that the high priest would not allow His Highness to be entangled with Su Wan like this!
The smile on Diya’s lips deepened. She wished that she could continue to criticize Su Wan to the high priest so that she could chase that vixen Su Wan out of the G.o.d’s Palace right now.
“High Priest, you have seen His Highness’ att.i.tude towards Su Wan. I think that we should get rid of the root of the problem as soon as possible. Are You–”
Just as Diya was in a hurry to come up with a strategy, the high priest who was standing beside her, dressed in a cheongsam, seemed to be tired.
She waved her hand again.
“Diya, she’s just a woman with no status or background. You don’t have to worry about these things. I know what to do.”
As the high priest spoke, he suddenly turned his gaze to Diya. His pair of beautiful eyes were locked tightly on her. His expression was unfathomable, almost giving Diya the illusion that she had been penetrated.
Seeing Diya’s timid look, the high priest’s mind suddenly recalled Su Wan’s appearance.
There was nothing special about the woman. Although her appearance was not bad, but it was not city-toppling, in terms of family background and in terms of beauty.
Among those attending the banquet today, it is not difficult to pick out a person with comprehensive ability who is better than Su Wan.
At least Diya was much better than Su…
The eyes of the high priest deepened as she thought of this.
“That girl called Su Wan just now was so uncomfortable. I take it was your doing?”
Hearing this, Diya’s heart pounded wildly!
She subconsciously did not want to admit it, but seeing the high priest’s G.o.d-like understanding expression, she felt that no matter how good her lying skills were, it would be useless.
Hearing this, Diya’s eyes flashed. She carefully restrained the anxious expression on her face and simply admitted this matter openly.
“Yes… priestess, I really don’t want to see His Highness fall head over heels for that kind of woman. Am I being too radical? But I just want to teach Su Wan a lesson and make her stop pestering His Highness like that. That’s the best way to Treat His Highness…”
