The high priestâs gaze was as still as the sea, but also as if there was a little bit of starlight floating about.
She shot a meaningful glance at Diya. âItâs more serious than you think.â
Faced with the high priestâs god-like insight, Diya felt a little guilty at first, but on second thought, no matter how powerful the high priest was, it was impossible for her to read minds.
Then, what was the matter that the high priest was referring to?
Could it be that Su Wan, that woman, thought that she would rely on her childâs status after giving birth, and started to show her displeasure towards the Emperor?
She really did not want to live long enough.
Diya frowned, and very modestly wanted the high priest to say a little more.
âI donât understand the high priestâs meaning. Can you explain it more clearly?â
The high priest was a little impatient, but she still kindly pointed out a way for Diya.
âYou can ask the doctor from before.â
Diya did not expect the high priest to remind her like this. She nodded her head in surprise, but before she could thank her, she suddenly saw the high priestâs face turn cold.
âDiya, no matter what you hear, remember not to lose your grace. I intend to nurture you. I hope you wonât disappoint me.â
Compared to Su Wan, she was more willing to let Diya stand by the side of Jiang Xuecheng.
The successor she was looking for must not be swayed repeatedly for a woman, and he must not let anyone become his weakness.
Diya saw the high priestâs stern expression. She had been trembling with fear earlier, and she listened in fear and trepidation. In the end, she actually heard the high priest say that she wanted to ânurtureâ her.
Was It what she thought? To help her be with the emperor?
A blush appeared on Diyaâs face. She could only nod repeatedly to show that her respect came from the bottom of her heart.
âThank you, high priest. Diya will definitely not let you down.â
The high priest gave Diya a secretive glance. She extended her hand and patted Diyaâs shoulder. A smile with an unknown meaning appeared on her face. Then, she quickly walked out of the hall.
After seeing the cold-looking woman leave, Fiennes, who had been silent all this time, finally walked to his sisterâs side.
âDiya, even the high priest has left. Letâs go back.â
âBrother, why are you in such a hurry to chase me away?â
As she spoke, displeasure appeared in Diyaâs beautiful eyes.
âYou heard it just now. The high priest said that Su Wanâs mistake was more serious than you imagine. Do you think that the child in her belly is...â
Diya did not know that her guess was close to the most correct answer.
But before she could finish, she heard her brother suddenly growl, which scared Diya so much that she shivered.
âWhat nonsense are you thinking about!â
Fiennes looked at Diya coldly, his deep voice was filled with certainty.
âIf thatâs the case, do you think that the high priest and the emperor would allow Su Wan to stay here safe and sound?â
Diya pursed her lips helplessly. At the same time, she felt even more resentful in her heart â Su Wan was just an outsider. What right did her brother have to protect her so much that even someone as cold-hearted as His Highness was mesmerized by her...
âIâm just casually making a guess. Brother, why are you so agitated? I also know that itâs most likely not the case. However, the high priest said that we can ask the doctor. Why donât you accompany me to ask?â
Diya kept shaking Fiennesâ arm. Fiennes could not dissuade her. Thinking of the high priestâs previous hint, he decided to bring Diya to the doctor.
With him watching, it was better than letting Diya stay here and mess around by herself.
...
The female doctor who had treated Su Wan earlier was shocked when she saw the siblings, Diya and Fiennes, asking about Su Wanâs fetus.
After all, they were both people that she could not afford to offend, so the female doctor reported the situation truthfully while trembling in fear.
âMiss Su is indeed pregnant. According to the results, Miss Su is only at the sixth week of pregnancy, and the fetus is not very stable yet...â
A six-week-old child?!
Diyaâs body suddenly stiffened, and her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief!
At that time, the emperor and Su Wan did not know each other, right?!
âOh my God!â Diya almost cried out in shock. Her heart was then filled with ecstasy!
Fortunately, Fiennes pinched Diya hard and only then did Diya regain her senses.
Fiennesâ shock was no less than Diyaâs. However, his thoughts were deep. In addition, the high priest had previously instructed Diya not to lose her grace. He immediately guessed what the high priest meant.
Fiennes reluctantly waved his hand at the female doctor with an arrogant expression.
âAlright, we understand. You can leave now.â
After the female doctor left, Fiennes let go of Diyaâs hand. However, Diya did not feel any pain at all. The ecstasy in her heart was getting stronger and stronger!
That woman, Su Wan, was really audacious. She actually dared to publicly make the emperor a cuckold. This time, no matter what, Su Wan would die without a grave!
The high priest and His Highness had let Su Wan stay here safely. It was probably just to conceal the truth from the others?!
âBrother, look, I actually hit the nail on the head! You actually dare to like such a promiscuous woman?â
Diya was gloating as she pushed Fiennes. She viciously pouted at the ward where Su Wan was in, her expression filled with disdain.
Her rival in love was courting death, and the high priest had publicly expressed her goodwill. At that moment, Diya had regained all her confidence. She was as proud as a peacock.
Fiennesâ blue eyes flashed, and he was still in shock.
Su Wan actually...
This was really out of Fiennesâ expectations. The high priest and His Highness did not seem to have thought about how to deal with Su Wan, which made him feel puzzled again.
âBrother, why donât we go and see your li-ttle-sweet-heart?â
There were only the two of them in the corridor at the moment. Diyaâs words became more and more unbridled, even with a strong sense of sarcasm.
Fiennesâ face darkened a little. He should have refuted Diyaâs words and let her speak with a sense of reason. But now, Fiennes was completely immersed in shock and temporarily forgot about it.
The siblings walked to Su Wanâs ward one after another. Fiennes pursed his lips and finally raised his hand to knock on the door.
Su Wan lowered her head, thinking about what had happened before in a daze. Her lowered face looked pale and lifeless.
When she heard the knocking on the door, she thought it was the doctor who came to change the drip.
Su Wan did not even raise her eyes. She only spoke casually.
âPlease come in.â
When Fiennes and Diya came in, what they saw was Su Wanâs dazed state.
Not far away, Su Wan was wearing a hospital gown. Her long raven-black hair flowed loosely on her shoulders, and her face was so pale that not a trace of blood could be seen.
âHa, Su Wan, if I were you, I would bang my head against the wall right now and die then to not come out and embarrass myself!â
Diya raised her chin proudly, just like a peacock with its tail on display.
