Diya's words were for the good of Jiang Xuecheng.  There were tears on her pretty face, and she looked pitiful and righteous.

"High Priest, I will not act rashly in the future, but I am really afraid that His Highness will be held up because of that vixen Su Wan…"

Before Diya could finish, the high priest in the Cheongsam suddenly gave her a side glance.

That unfathomable gaze made Diya feel a little flustered.  She instantly swallowed back the words that she had yet to say.

Diya lowered her head slightly, showing a respectful attitude as though she was looking at her nose and nose.

"You don't have to think about these things anymore.  I naturally have my own plans."

After being stared at twice by the high priest, Diya could not help but shudder.  She actually felt that she had been seen naked by others.

She hurriedly lowered her head even lower and opened her mouth.

"I understand."

Diya's slender hands were tightly clenched into fists.  Her heart was filled with hostility.

No matter what, at least the high priest clearly did not like that woman, Su Wan.

That's right.  How could Su Wan, with her lowly status, be worthy of standing beside the emperor?

One day, she would let His Highness know what kind of woman was truly worthy of him.

The night gradually deepened.  A crescent moon hung coldly on the treetops, illuminating the entire God's Palace.

The emperor held Su Wan in his arms and walked all the way to the maglev carriage in the shadows outside the manor.

He opened the cabin door with one hand and placed the unconscious young woman on the side seat.

He moved very carefully and tried his best to avoid Su Wan's injuries.

The man turned on the autopilot mode and went to the lounge on the maglev to look for medicine.

When he found the things, he suddenly saw Su Wan's lips moving slightly, as if she was saying something broken.

Her voice was very soft.  Even though Jiang Xuecheng had good hearing, he could not hear what Su Wan was saying from such a distance of one to two meters.

Jiang Xuecheng took the thing in his hand and walked quickly toward Su Wan.

When he got closer, he realized that Su Wan's sleeping face was not as deep as he thought when he looked from far away.  Her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she was enduring some pain.

Her long eyelashes were also stained with some light, as if tears were going to fall at any moment.

There was a small lamp next to her that shone on Su Wan's face.  The glow made Su Wan's pale face look even more pitiful.

Did it really hurt that much?

The man frowned and suddenly heard Su Wan mumbling something.

"Xue… cheng…"

"Xuecheng…"

Because it hurt so much, Su Wan subconsciously called out the name of Xuecheng in her sleep.  In her heart, it seemed that as long as she called out Xuecheng, the pain on her body would be reduced a little.

When she said these two words, Su Wan used Chinese.

The man's eyes were locked on Su Wan's body without blinking for a long time.  He bent down and moved closer to Su Wan's lips, trying to distinguish what she was saying.

What was she saying?

Why didn't he understand a single word.

"Xuecheng…"

This time, the emperor finally heard what Su Wan was saying.

His eyes suddenly darkened!

It was those two words again.  It was obviously a man's name.

It seemed that when he first saw Su Wan in the corridor of Glory World Hotel, she had used a very surprised expression to call him by this name.

It was as if she had seen a long-lost lover, so surprised and with a deep attachment…

Who did she mistake him for?!

The emperor felt a slight pain in his heart.  He looked at Su Wan's pale face and finally suppressed his displeasure.

The man's thin lips let out a sigh.

No matter who Su Wan was or who she was thinking about, the most important thing now was to help Su Wan with the medicine.

The man's expression turned cold.  He immediately stretched out his well-defined hand and unzipped Su Wan's dress.

He carefully unzipped the dress.  Only then did he realize that the thick dress was actually stuck to the blood stains.  Some parts of the dress were directly glued to Su Wan's skin.

As if she was hurt by the action of Jiang Xuecheng's zipper, Su Wan's lips broke into a low sob.

"It hurts--"

Su Wan seemed to be able to feel the pain even when she was unconscious.  Her hand subconsciously grabbed onto Jiang Xuecheng's lapels.  Her beautiful face was so pale that it made one's heart ache.

Jiang Xuecheng could even see a thin layer of sweat on Su Wan's forehead.

The man's face darkened.  Other than worry in his eyes, there was also a murderous aura that was difficult to detect.

Diya actually dared to treat Su Wan like this.  He was really too polite to Diya.  That was why that little girl even forgot about the immensity of heaven and earth.

Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan's pained expression.  He pursed his lips and could only ruthlessly pull down Su Wan's zipper.

After the zipper retreated outside, a thick smell of blood was revealed.

The skin and flesh on Su Wan's back were dripping with blood.  There were dried blood scabs in some places that continued to meander along Su Wan's fair back.

Su Wan's skin was extremely fair to begin with.  Several large pins were nailed on Su Wan's back, creating several deep scars.  It was a terrifying sight.

It was like a red plum blossom in the snow.  It was so beautiful that people could not help but feel a little scared.

It must be very painful.

A ray of light flashed through the man's deep phoenix eyes, and his heart throbbed.

It was probably because Su Wan's current appearance was too tragic.  Facing Su Wan's half-torn clothes, Jiang Xuecheng didn't have the slightest bit of longing in his heart.  All that was left was a strong sense of pity.

He wished that he could bear the pain on her behalf.

Looking at the hideous pins on Su Wan's back, Jiang Xuecheng opened his mouth.  He suddenly remembered that there was no anesthetic on the maglev car.

If he were to remove those pins like this, how much pain would she feel?  Would she be in so much pain that she would die?

However, time passed by minute by minute.  Of course, it was better to deal with it as soon as possible.

By the time he reached the God's Palace, even if he had the medicine, it would still take more than twenty minutes.

The man looked at Su Wan's horrifying wound.  In the end, he steeled his heart and decided to deal with Su Wan's injury right now.

He carefully pulled out the pins one by one.  Fortunately, most of them were not too deep.  Only the pin that had been pressed by Jiang Xuecheng had pierced deeply into his flesh.

This was all because of him…

He really deserved to die.

Because of the nail, bright red blood seeped out along with Jiang Xuecheng's treatment.  Su Wan felt the piercing pain and immediately screamed!

Su Wan's eyes suddenly opened.

In an instant, their eyes met.  Su Wan saw the handsome face in close proximity, and her expression was somewhat absent-minded.

"Xue… Your Highness."

Su Wan bit the corner of her lips.  Along with the bone-piercing pain on her back, she finally realized that the person in front of her did not remember her.

Meanwhile, deep jealousy suddenly surged in Jiang Xuecheng's heart.

Just now, Su Wan had called that name several times in her sleep.  Even if he did not understand it, even if Su Wan swallowed her voice in time, he knew that he had been mistaken for someone else.

Was he really that similar to the person Su Wan had mentioned?
