Chapter 641 - Could Not Stay By The Emperor’s Side
When Su Wan heard the sound of the door opening, she suddenly raised her head and saw two figures standing not far away.
Jiang Xuecheng stood on the left. He still had a handsome and noble appearance, but his expression was extremely solemn. Under such a bright light, he actually gave off an indescribable sense of oppression.
However, the one who really made Su Wan unable to shift her gaze away was the woman standing beside him.
That was the current high priest of the God’s Palace.
However, she was no longer wearing a cheongsam today. Instead, she was wearing a black coat with a houndstooth pattern. There was a plain white velvet scarf wrapped around her neck. Her eyes were still indifferent, a glamour that couldn’t be intently watched.
Su Wan had never seen Xu Ziyao wearing anything other than a cheongsam. She had also fantasized in her mind how Xu Ziyao would feel like if she wore other clothes. Today, from the high priest of the God’s Palace, she had satisfied her curiosity from the past.
Who was this high priest of the God’s Palace?
He looked so similar to Jiang Xuecheng’s mother. Other than the mole on the corner of her right eye, she looked exactly the same.
Also, what was the relationship between this high priest and Jiang Xuecheng?
Many questions flew into Su Wan’s mind, but she couldn’t figure out the relationship even if she racked her brains.
When she married into the Jiang family, she had never heard of Xu Ziyao having other sisters……
Su Wan’s hands tightened slightly. The curiosity in her heart surged like a tidal wave, and she could not suppress it no matter how hard she tried.
Meanwhile, Diya’s eyes lit up. She did not care about arguing with Su Wan anymore. She walked straight to Jiang Xuecheng and the high priest with a smile on her face.
“Your Highness, High Priest, so you are here with His Highness. No wonder you did not open the door.”
Diya was jumping up and down like a little bird. Her smile could not be hidden at all. The gloominess and arrogance from earlier could not be found at all.
The emperor cast a sidelong glance at Diya. Just when Diya thought that he would say something to her, her amber eyes suddenly lit up.
She brushed the hair on her shoulders and smiled beautifully.
“Your High……”
Diya had just said one word when the man she had been longing for had already passed by her and walked towards Su Wan who was behind her.
It was as though she was invisible.
The smile on Diya’s face froze. Before she could finish her sentence, she swallowed it all back.
The emperor was actually ignoring her like this?
Diya’s face darkened. She stared intently at Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan. Her eyes immediately flashed with hatred!
It was all Su Wan’s fault. Otherwise, how could His Highness not look at her?
Feeling the knife-like gaze behind him, the emperor was completely unmoved. He reached out and stroked Su Wan’s hair with a faint smile.
“Have you eaten breakfast?”
Seeing Su Wan shake her head, a concerned smile appeared on his lips.
“I haven’t either. Then let’s go eat together.”
Following that, Jiang Xuecheng held Su Wan’s hand in an extremely natural manner. The two of them seemed to treat Diya and the high priest as background boards as they floated away.
Diya looked at the scene in disbelief. She bit her lip, and her heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand.
It was pulled gently, then heavily, it was painful, so painful.
Diya’s beautiful eyes widened. She looked at the high priest beside her angrily. She could not believe that the high priest’s expression was still so calm, just letting His Highness and that vixen go!
And they were holding hands!
Wasn’t this action equivalent to a slap on her face?
Diya’s fingers dug into her palm. The bitter pain caused Diya to regain her senses slightly.
“High Priest, are you going to let them go just like that? Didn’t you say that sooner or later, you would have to deal with the troublemaker Su Wan?”
Hearing Diya’s unwilling words, the proud and graceful high priest turned around and glanced at Diya lightly.
“Diya, why are you in such a hurry? Of course, I will deal with that woman.”
The high priest stared at Su Wan’s back, a faint light flashing through her beautiful eyes.
Since yesterday, she had sent people to investigate Su Wan. Although they had not found anything yet……
The ring on this woman’s hand was very similar to the one on the emperor’s original one. If the ring in this woman’s hand was really a pair with the emperor’s……
Things would become even more complicated.
The high priest frowned slightly, and a trace of viciousness appeared on her face.
It didn’t matter if Su Wan was from that world or not. This woman had charmed the Emperor of the God’s Palace, so it was impossible for her to accept Su Wan.
She had people erase the emperor’s memories because she didn’t want the emperor to have anything to do with the past. All he needed to do was to be the emperor of the God’s Palace.
If the emperor really wanted to marry a wife, it naturally wouldn’t be a lowly woman like Su Wan. He definitely wouldn’t be able to develop feelings for such a person.
Being infatuated with a person meant that one would have a weakness. To the Emperor of the God’s Palace, the so-called partner only needed to be an obedient tool for benefits.
The high priest returned to her senses and shifted her gaze to Diya. Her plump lips curled into a smile.
–A person like Diya was a good choice. She could do many things for the God’s Palace.
Seeing the high priest looking at her, Diya’s eyes couldn’t help but redden slightly.
She lowered her head. Because of the high priest’s tone when he lectured her earlier, she felt extremely wronged.
The high priest had said the same thing yesterday. But how long would she have to wait?
If she allowed the emperor and Su Wan to continue like this, who knows how far they would go? Then, wouldn’t she push the emperor further and further away from her?
“High Priest–”
Tears welled up in the corners of Diya’s eyes, and her face was full of pleading.
The high priest glanced at Diya impatiently.
“What’s the use of crying with me? If you have this kind of technique, why don’t you think about why His Highness chose Su Wan?”
Seeing that the high priest was implying that she was inferior to Su Wan, Diya panicked and quickly wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, wanting to argue with the high priest.
Seeing Diya’s intention, the high priest waved her hand impatiently.
“Diya, your temper is too spoiled. You should learn from others how to please His Highness. Sometimes, it’s not bad to show weakness. Compared to Su Wan, I definitely think better of you.”
After hearing the high priest’s last sentence, Diya’s amber eyes were filled with surprise!
Did the high priest say that he thought more highly of her being with His Highness?
She said that only someone with such a high status like her was worthy of the emperor.
Diya’s heart was like a deer’s. She looked up with some hesitation, her face blushing.
“High Priest, should I come to the God’s Palace every day so that His Highness can take a few more glances at me?”
“Do as you like.”
The high priest glanced at her indifferently and then quickly walked towards the corridor.
She still had to get someone to investigate where Su Wan was from.
If she really had transmigrated from that world, then how did this woman have a resident identity card issued by the God’s Palace?
No matter what, this woman could not stay by the emperor’s side.
