In full view of everyone, Jiang Xuecheng held the injured woman in his arms. He looked calm, as if Su Wan was as light as a leaf, without any weight at all.
The people standing in front of Jiang Xuecheng looked at each other, their hearts beating, not knowing whether they should give way.
If he didn't, he would undoubtedly offend the new prince.
But if I gave in, it would seem that I was not taking the high priest seriously...
Jiang Xuecheng did not give these fence-sitters too much time to think. He held Su Wan in his arms and walked forward firmly, as if what was blocking the way ahead was not a crowd of people, but a smooth road.
A few drops of cold sweat oozed out of the foreheads of the onlookers. When Jiang Xuecheng came over with Su Wan in his arms, they all felt their breathing stagnate and felt a suffocating pressure.
Everyone looked at each other and finally made way in silence.
When Tia saw those people making way, she widened her eyes in disbelief and felt a trace of jealousy spreading and flowing in her heart.
How could this be!
Tia bit the corner of her lip. She stared at the woman in the arms of the Emperor with hatred, wishing her gaze could turn into two daggers and stare through Su Wan completely.
"Your Highness, are you really going to do this for such a lowly woman—"
Before Tiya could finish her words, the young prince was already very displeased. His face was as gloomy as water, and his indifferent voice was mixed with a strong sense of deterrence.
"Ms. Tia, today is not the time to talk, but I will ask someone to take you to the Divine Court for a chat tomorrow!"
After saying this, Jiang Xuecheng took Su Wan and left without looking back.
The man walked straight past Tia without even looking at her, and walked out of the crowd.
The wind blew, and the shadows of the trees in the garden trembled violently. The moonlight was clear and quiet, making Tia's face look pale.
Her heart was beating wildly, and she could only clench her hands tightly, trying to calm her anger and grievance.
—Your Highness, didn't that just now mean that you were threatening her and that you would settle the score with her later? !
Just for a lowly commoner woman like that?!
The scene of the Emperor's son carrying Su Wan away kept appearing in my mind, and I couldn't forget it no matter how hard I tried.
good very good!
Tia's heartstrings suddenly broke, her plump lips were pursed into a straight line, and a strong resentment surged in her heart.
—If she had known this would happen, she should not have shown mercy and only found some thumbtacks for Su Wan to play with!
Maybe putting a deadly venomous snake would be more suitable for Su Wan, a seductive woman? !
If it wasn't that vixen Su Wan who used some despicable tricks to confuse His Highness, then why did His Highness become so irrational and even leave halfway
Just when Tia was feeling angry, she suddenly heard a female voice as clear and cold as mountain water.
"Tia, who is that woman?"
Hearing this voice, Tia swallowed and suddenly came back to her senses.
She was so angry that she forgot that the High Priest was still here. She quickly looked up at the high priest and lowered her eyebrows respectfully.
"That woman's surname is Su Wan, as for her identity!"
Tia paused for a moment, her pretty face revealing complete disdain and contempt.
"She is just a lowly pariah, currently working as a cook in the Divine Court. She relied on her good looks to charm Your Highness so much that he even left you."
When Tia finished speaking, a hint of unwillingness emerged in her eyes, as if she truly felt sorry for the high priest.
"High Priest, tell me, how can that woman still stay in the Temple?"
I thought that after hearing what I said, the high priest would definitely agree with me.
In the end, the other party didn't express a single word of opinion!
This is impossible. How could the high priest not mind that woman's identity!
It would be fine if His Highness was just playing around with Su Wan, but now he is leaving the table in the middle of it. It is obvious that he has been so bewitched by Su Wan that he has lost his rationality.
Tia was startled. She looked at the high priest in a flattering manner, only to see that the high priest's beautiful eyes were nonchalantly fixed on the cat in her hands. Her expression was so cold that it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Tia suppressed her doubts and cautiously asked the high priest a question.
"High Priest, don't you think Su Wan—"
As soon as Tia finished speaking, she saw the elegant high priest next to her wave his hand lightly, indicating that she didn't need to say anything more.
This is
Tia couldn't figure out what the high priest was thinking, but she was afraid that the high priest would not care about the matter between the Emperor and Su Wan.
If the High Priest doesn't mind Su Wan's identity, then what should she do? !
A Persian cat leaned lazily in the arms of the high priest, its deep emerald eyes wide open, as if looking for fresh prey.
The high priest glanced at Tia coldly, his beautiful white hands still stroking the Persian cat's fur.
"Tiya, you are right. Your Highness is the Lord of the Divine Court. You really shouldn't be obsessed with such a woman."
The clear and gentle sound, like the wind blowing through the strings of a musical instrument, suddenly made Tia feel ecstatic!
She said that the High Priest would not allow His Highness to get entangled with Su Wan like this!
The smile on Diya's lips deepened. She wished she could continue to criticize Su Wan to the high priest and urge him to kick that vixen Su Wan out of the Divine Court right away.
"High Priest, you have seen His Highness's attitude towards Su Wan. I think we should cut off the root of this evil as soon as possible. Do you—"
Just when Tia was eager to offer suggestions, the high priest standing next to her, dressed in a cheongsam, seemed tired.
She waved her hand again.
"Tia, I'm 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 towards Tia, his beautiful eyes fixed on her tightly, his expression was so unfathomable that Tia almost felt as if she was being seen through.
Seeing Tiya’s timid look, the high priest suddenly thought of Su Wan’s appearance.
There was nothing special about that woman. Although she was pretty, she was not stunningly beautiful. In terms of family background, talent, and beauty, she was not outstanding.
Among those attending the banquet today, it is definitely not difficult to pick out someone whose overall strength is better than Su Wan.
At least Tia is much better than Su Wan...
When the high priest thought of this, his eyes became more profound.
"That girl named Su Wan was in such a bad mood just now. Was it you who caused this?"
Hearing this, Tia's heart was pounding!
Subconsciously, she didn't want to admit it, but when she saw the high priest's godly expression, she felt that even if she had the best lying skills, it would be useless.
Tia's eyes sparkled when she heard that. She carefully suppressed the anxious expression on her face and simply admitted the matter openly.
"Yes... Master Priest, I really don't want to see His Highness be obsessed with that kind of woman. Am I too radical? But I just want to teach Su Wan a lesson and tell her not to pester His Highness like that anymore. This will be good for His Highness..."
