Seeing Jiang Xuecheng staring at Su Wan behind the glass window, he seemed to be shrouded in a haze, lonely and desolate.
The High Priestess looked at the young man calmly, the corners of her lips slightly curved in a cold smile.
Those beautiful eyes were as silent as the night, with an indescribable indifference.
The development of things to this point was exactly what she wanted. The high priest was originally angry and even had a headache because Jiang Xuecheng was too protective of Su Wan, but now there was a new turn of events.
The high priest looked away indifferently, waved her hands, and her beautiful eyes casually swept across the female doctor beside her.
"You go out first. I want to talk to His Highness alone about something."
"yes."
Shocked by the high priest's aura, the female doctor nodded respectfully, feeling a little confused.
Why does the atmosphere feel so strange
Whether it was the high priest or the prince, both of them exuded a low pressure, making the female doctor almost unable to bear that aura.
The female doctor bit her lip slightly, nodded quickly to the two important figures in front of her, and then quickly stepped out.
After the female doctor was pushed out, only the high priest and Jiang Xuecheng were left outside the ward.
The two of them were about three or four steps apart, with a subtle sense of estrangement between them.
The high priestess turned her eyes to the young man beside her and suddenly spoke, breaking the previous silence.
"How long have you known that woman named Su Wan? That child..."
Before the high priest could finish speaking, the man suddenly raised his head, his expression as gloomy as the sky that was about to rain.
"High Priest, what do you want to say?"
Sensing Jiang Xuecheng's undisguised anger, a faint smile escaped the high priest's pale lips.
"I want to say what you are thinking about now, Your Highness. I have long suspected that the woman was a spy sent from somewhere."
The high priest paused and continued to add.
"Think about it carefully. You and Su Wan are just new acquaintances, but she is obviously very good at confusing people. In just a dozen days, she has established a close relationship with you. If it weren't for this accident, she might have directly said that the child was yours."
"After all, the difference is only a dozen days, and the due date won't make much difference. If Su Wan bribed the doctor and concealed the month of her baby..."
The high priest's voice was still as calm as lake water, but every word pierced Jiang Xuecheng's heart, causing blood to flow.
"enough!"
Hearing the high priest's speculation, the man's face turned cold, his long eyebrows were tightly knitted, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of ice and snow.
"A woman with a complicated identity and a fickle personality deserves death. Your Highness, why are you still clinging to her? If you can't do it, then I don't mind doing it myself. I don't want the entire Divine Court to be embarrassed because of Su Wan!"
The high priest spoke sternly, and his originally calm voice became sharper than a knife.
Are you nostalgic for Su Wan
When Jiang Xuecheng heard these words, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
He had just promised yesterday to be with Su Wan, but after just one day's separation, he felt that the world had changed and everything had changed.
If it was someone else who betrayed him like this, they might not even have a place to be buried. But now he just felt heartbroken and had not thought about how to deal with Su Wan at all.
He never even thought about letting Su Wan die.
There was a voice in his subconscious mind telling him that if he really did this, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Even though Su Wan's current behavior made him extremely disappointed, he had never thought of punishing Su Wan in this way.
Seeing Jiang Xuecheng absent-mindedly ignoring him, the high priest gritted his teeth and suddenly had the urge to slap the young man in the face.
She is of noble status, how could she have been treated so coldly
If her destiny had not been approaching, she would not have been so determined to step down from the throne of the Emperor's son.
Power is indeed a deceptive thing. She has had enough power, and now, she has become even more greedy. She wants to seek eternal life.
People with dragon blood may live a little longer than ordinary people and age a little slower, but for the high priest, this is far from enough.
She cherishes her appearance, money, status, power, and she doesn't want to lose anything.
Therefore, sooner or later she would have to find an heir to take care of those annoying trivial matters on her behalf, while she would focus on studying how to live forever and how to be immortal.
The high priest glanced at Jiang Xuecheng with extreme disappointment, and his voice turned ice cold.
"I've taught you so much, but you're so soft-hearted for an insignificant woman. You really disappoint me."
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips and met the high priest's eyes without fear.
"Su Wan is mine, don't touch her until I think it over!"
The high priest snorted again, his voice as clear as a spring, with a hint of threat in it.
"Things are not that simple now. You are the son of the Emperor of the Divine Court. If the reputation of the Divine Court is tarnished because of that woman, you know what I will do, especially the child in her belly."
Jiang Xuecheng hated being threatened the most. Even though the woman in front of him gave him the honor of status, it did not mean that he would be willing to have his life controlled by others.
"you-"
Just when Jiang Xuecheng was about to say something, he suddenly saw the figure behind the glass window shake.
Jiang Xuecheng's eyes suddenly widened, and he saw Su Wan's eyes slowly opened in the lounge. Those clear eyes seemed to be confused as if she had a hangover.
Su Wan woke up!
Jiang Xuecheng no longer cared about arguing with the high priest. He quickly opened the unlocked door of the lounge and walked in sideways.
Su Wan was obviously not fully conscious at the moment. Her dark eyes seemed to be filled with water as she looked at people lazily.
She blinked and suddenly recognized the slender figure approaching.
"Your Highness..."
A soft female voice passed by his ears, making Jiang Xuecheng want to reach out and stroke her head.
He subconsciously stretched out his hand, but when he thought of the child of unknown origin in Su Wan's belly, he suddenly retracted his hand.
The whole person felt like being boiled in a frying pan. Jiang Xuecheng had never felt so uncomfortable before.
Even though he was filled with anger, he couldn't vent it when facing the face of Su Wan, who relied on him wholeheartedly.
Su Wan couldn't help but frown when she saw Jiang Xuecheng suddenly retract his fingers.
The previously confused consciousness also became clear at this moment.
After all, she and Jiang Xuecheng had been husband and wife for such a long time. Although Jiang Xuecheng's expression did not change, she could sense that the man was angry.
Why are you suddenly angry
Is it because she fell into the water today and failed to protect herself, which made Jiang Xuecheng too worried
Su Wan knew Jiang Xuecheng's temper. She carefully reached out her hand and pinched the hem of Jiang Xuecheng's clothes in a flattering manner.
"What's wrong? I'm fine, right?"
