Chapter 827 Is Someone Eavesdropping?
Su Wan's mind went blank and she could only stand there blankly.
Was she poisoned? at what time? How long had Jiang Xuecheng kept this secret from her?
Her fingers clenched tightly, and a green color appeared at the joints.
No wonder this man was hesitant to speak when he looked at her. She thought Jiang Xuecheng was in a dilemma because Tiya and the high priest had joined forces to force the marriage.
It turns out that those are not the important reasons.
The source of his embarrassment lies with himself.
After Su Wan thought about this clearly, her vision went dark for a while, and she even felt a little unsteady on her feet. She almost leaned towards the green potted plants beside the transparent glass wall.
The high priest and Jiang Xuecheng seemed to be immersed in the disagreement, and no one noticed that someone was eavesdropping outside the glass wall.
"Your Highness, are you threatening me? It's funny. Do you think I can't find a suitable person to assume the position of Emperor's Son without you?"
Jiang Xuecheng's expression was indifferent, and his handsome eyebrows had an indescribable calmness.
"Of course you have other candidates, but you won't find anyone more suitable than me."
It had been many years since anyone had dared to confront her like this. She never expected that the emperor whom she had raised with her own hands would disobey her!
How ridiculous!
"you--"
The high priest's face was filled with anger, but when she thought about Jiang Xuecheng's words, she fell silent for a moment.
What Jiang Xuecheng said is true.
She really couldn't find a more suitable person than Jiang Xuecheng, who had pure blood, extraordinary abilities, and no complicated background.
Others are more or less inappropriate in one way or another.
Seeing that the high priest was persuaded, Jiang Xuecheng simply took advantage of the victory and pursued it.
"Master Priest, let us not speak secretly. I know that your focus in recent years has not been on controlling the Holy Palace, but you are reluctant to part with the results of your many years of governance in the Holy Palace, so you need a loyal puppet. I said Right?"
The high priest nodded slightly, the corners of her lips raised slightly, but the smile on her face was extremely contemptuous.
"So what?"
"You need a puppet, but you don't need the other person to have too much ambition, let alone an overly complicated family background, right?"
In recent years, the four major families have been trying to make moves, especially the famous families from all over the world, with the Siswell family following suit. The high priest cannot allow them to develop like this.
But the high priest is absolutely unwilling to delegate power and support people he doesn't know to control the palace step by step.
The high priest glanced at Jiang Xuecheng arrogantly. Her voice was calm and her expression suddenly turned as ice and snow.
"Your Highness, what you said is indeed true, but you see that you have disobeyed my orders again and again. Last time you even did not hesitate to use force with me. Do you think I will trust you?"
Jiang Xuecheng curled his lips towards the high priest, with a mysterious smile on his face.
"You can indeed distrust me, but compared to others, I am obviously more worthy of your trust. As long as you get rid of the CHK No. 3 virus in Su Wan, Master Priest, I really have no grudges with you."
Jiang Xuecheng said, casually glancing at the Persian cat in the high priest's arms.
"In fact, I don't have any greed for the power of the Holy Palace. If you want to take it back, take it back. I don't care. After you get rid of me, it won't be that easy to find another obedient and capable puppet."
"Master Priest, you have to think clearly."
Su Wan stretched out her hand to hold the potted plant next to her, and her hand on the edge of the vase trembled unconsciously.
CHK virus 3, what is that?
What threat would it pose to her body? !
Is there that kind of virus lurking in her body?
When exactly was the CHK No. 3 virus in her body?
The high priest remained silent, his dignified, cold and arrogant brows filled with disdain, as if he was unmoved by Jiang Xuecheng's proposal.
And Jiang Xuecheng didn't care about the high priest's indifferent attitude. He was still throwing out his conditions and assumptions.
The high priest looked at the young man in front of him who was trying his best to persuade her, and interrupted Jiang Xuecheng's words without politeness.
"But Your Highness, having said that, I don't believe that you can let go of the poison on Su Wan. Just because of the poison on Su Wan, don't you have to obey my orders?"
Jiang Xuecheng's eyes rose, and his tone returned to calm, but his expression showed a bit of intimidation that was not there before.
"How can you be sure that I will obey your orders for Su Wan? Or maybe Su Wan and I can't bear it and we will fight to the death with you? There is always a limit to the pressure a person can bear."
The high priest was about to say something more, but the cat in her arms suddenly raised its eyelids and moved violently twice in her arms.
The cat's emerald green eyes looked straight at Su Wan outside the glass window.
That Persian cat is so smart, it seems to have noticed him!
Su Wan was startled, feeling the Persian cat staring at him, and a strange color flashed across Su Wan's face!
Oops.
Su Wan was about to use the potted plant next to her to hide her body, but suddenly she felt someone reach out and hold her shoulders, pulling her out to the side!
…
Jiang Xuecheng and the high priest both felt that there was something strange about the Persian cat.
The two of them followed the cat's instructions and looked outside the glass wall, but found nothing.
A half-person-high potted plant stands behind the glass wall, its green branches and leaves stretched out, swaying in the outside wind.
The Persian cat felt that it was being ignored by its owner, so it quickly jumped off the high priest, ran towards the transparent glass wall, and stopped behind the glass wall holding the potted plant.
Its cute little paws pulled at the glass wall, and its emerald eyes kept blinking at the high priest.
Is there really someone? !
Jiang Xuecheng and the high priest looked at each other.
The two of them stopped talking and walked quickly out the door together, looking up at the entire corridor.
There was no one around, and the gorgeous wall lamps flickered faintly, emitting light like glass.
There really is no one.
It seemed that they were both overly concerned.
The vigilance in the eyes of Jiang Xuecheng and the high priest disappeared, and the two stepped back to the room separated by the transparent glass wall and started a new round of negotiations.
The high priest knelt down and hugged the Persian cat back into his arms. She was thinking about the possibility of Jiang Xuecheng's proposal.
A troublesome thing suddenly flashed through my mind.
The high priest looked at Jiang Xuecheng coldly and finally gave him a plan.
"There happens to be a new immigrant planet that has experienced various disasters recently. I am worried that no one will comfort me. Since you said that you have good abilities, you can go there for me!"
It was a desolate and poor planet, and the high priest wanted to give Jiang Xuecheng a taste of its suffering.
Otherwise, the high priest had his own plans.
She has been running around for other things recently and has been missing from the palace for too long. It's time to establish her authority and clean up those people who are ready to take action!
