The Retired Emperor even let Eunuch Sun select a few experienced female physicians to serve Helian Wei Wei.
The identities of these two female physicians were verified repeatedly to avoid any evil trickeries.
The Imperial Kitchen also received the order to cook whatever the Third Prince Consort wanted to eat. No matter how late it would be at night, someone must be ready in the kitchen.
This was the most practical practice for Helian Wei Wei. Although there were strawberries in the Fantasy Space for her to replenish energy and reduce the sense of hunger...
As a human, Helian Wei Wei preferred normal food such as whole grains. However, the food did not seem to effectively satisfy the baby's hunger.
The Imperial Infirmary assigned three imperial physicians for Helian Wei Wei's meals. One of them was Imperial Physician Liu.
Imperial Physician Liu had felt Helian Wei Wei's pulse at the beginning. However, he felt that the pulse was indescribably strange during the second examination. He was sure that she was pregnant, but when he put the bamboo stethoscope on Helian Wei Wei's abdomen through the layered mantle, loud firework-like noises thundered through the tool.
Imperial Physician Liu was so frightened that he lost control of his strength and flung bamboo stethoscope away.
Baili Jia Jue, who was sitting next to her, narrowed his eyes and put down the cup in his hand.
"Why? What happened?" The rest of the imperial physicians had a bigger reaction. After all, they were responsible for Third Princess Consort's safety now.
Even though they could not tell whether it was a boy or a girl...
If the fetus in Third Princess Consort's tummy was a boy, he would be the first great-grandson of the War Dragon Dynasty!
Now, the most precious child in the whole world was the one in the Third Princess Consort's abdomen.
There must not be a sliver of mistake.
Helian Wei Wei, who was sitting behind the curtains, also raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
Imperial Physician Liu shook his head and mumbled in his heart. Why are there spark noises? This is unusual. There's nothing wrong with the pulse and the fetus is very healthy too. So, what's the problem? Was that just an illusion?
"Imperial Physician Liu?" Imperial Physician Zhang, who was the nearest to Imperial Physician Liu, slightly pushed him when he saw his silence.
Suddenly, Imperial Physician Liu regained his senses. However, his eyes immediately met with Baili Jia Jue's cold gaze.
"I don't know what's wrong with me that I'm having tinnitus recently." Imperial Physician Liu began to doubt his health, saying, "Let's leave the auscultation for Imperial Physical Liu."
A golden ray flashed through Baili Jia Jue's eyes when he saw the sweat on Imperial Physician Liu's forehead.
Helian Wei Wei also noticed that there was something wrong.
Thus, she stroked her underbelly, trying to feel it.
Imperial Physician Liu picked up the bamboo stethoscope from the ground and was about to lean over and listen...
A crunch was suddenly heard. A huge crack had suddenly appeared at the end of the bamboo stethoscope.
The bamboo stethoscope was obviously broken and could not be used anymore.
Imperial Physician Liu realized that was the problem, so he muttered to himself, "So, the bamboo stethoscope was actually broken, I thought that…" It seemed he was too old, making so much fuss over nothing.
"Princess Consort, it's fine. The bamboo stethoscope is broken. The pulse indicates that everything is fine. However, you have to eat more food that is warm in nature. You can't eat crabs and shrimps anymore. Also, you need to eat less cold-natured fruits," Imperial Physician Zhang reported respectfully without any neglect.
Helian Wei Wei responded with a light smile but her eyesight suddenly darkened.
Imperial Physician Liu's reaction just now did not seem to be as simple as a broken bamboo stethoscope.
Conversely, he looked like he had heard something bizarre and was so frightened that he lost his grip.
Furthermore, the people from Imperial Infirmary had practiced medicine for many years. It was impossible for them to make mistakes with medical devices and brought a broken bamboo stethoscope here, unless the bamboo stethoscope broke just now.
However, it was such a coincidence that it broke when it was put near her abdomen...
Could it be that...
"It's you, right?" Helian Wei Wei sighed and c.a.r.e.s.sed her abdomen. She helplessly smiled at it with affection, saying, "You're too naughty. You've scared Imperial Physician Liu!"
She had known earlier that her baby was different from the others.
Instead, her head began to ache as she wondered who could control this little kid when it was born.
You're really very naughty!
"If you keep being so mischievous, you won't get any spiritual strawberries tonight."
As though the fetus felt wronged, it rumbled a little. Helian Wei Wei sensed it, and shook her head with a faint smile. Then, she lectured it, "I know that you dislike it when someone touches you. I won't let them use the bamboo stethoscope anymore. However, you have to behave, okay? Don't simply scare people out anymore."
It was said that the mother and her child's hearts were deeply connected. Even if the child was not born yet, the child could sense what Helian Wei Wei was talking about.
In order to show that he was well-behaved...
Soon, the movements in Helian Wei Wei's abdomen stopped.
It seemed that it had fallen asleep after doing something naughty.
Although Helian Wei Wei had forgiven it, His Highness would not do the same.
After sending the imperial physicians away, Baili Jia Jue paced toward the curtain. He reached out his hand and waved, sending the palace maids away as well. Then, he opened the curtain and raised his eyebrows as he stared at Helian Wei Wei's abdomen.
Helian Wei Wei was yawning, she was a bit drowsy as she was evidently feeling sleepy.
It seemed that her pregnancy had made her lazier than before. She leaned at the head of the bed languidly as her long, smooth hair scattered on her pure white u.n.d.e.r.g.a.r.m.e.n.ts, making her skin look brighter and fairer. When she seemed sleepy and her eyes were blurry, her beauty was especially breath-taking.
Baili Jia Jue merely looked down and carried her up. As the layers of curtains automatically closed behind him, the scene seemed extremely beautiful and luxurious...
Chapter 719 - The Conversation Between A Father And A Son (Part 2)
Helian Wei Wei noticed that it was His Highness, so she asked in a daze, "Where are Imperial Physician Liu and the others?"
"They've left." Baili Jia Jue played with her hand in his hand, his gentle eyes seemed more vile than usual, and said, "Just sleep if you're tired. I still have something to do when you've fallen asleep. Today, we won't feel the pulse again. I'll ask someone to heat up the soup for you. You can drink it when you're awake."
"Hmm..." Helian Wei Wei was really drowsy. Since yesterday, she began to suffer from severe somnolence. Furthermore, His Highness was here. His pleasant smell and his calm, heavy heartbeats greatly calmed her.
Baili Jia Jue ran his fingers through Helian Wei Wei's dark hair. Then, he looked down and kissed the top of her head.
Eunuch Sun originally wanted to visit Helian Wei Wei as ordered by the Retired Emperor. When he saw this scene through the curtains, he quickly led the palace maids with gifts away from the royal chamber quietly.
At night, Helian Wei Wei slept soundly and her side profile seemed tranquil and graceful.
Blackie and Whitney also retreated into the Fantasy Space.
No evil things could go near Helian Wei Wei if Baili Jia Jue was by her side.
If they came out, it would consume Helian Wei Wei's extra life essence instead.
The sky was getting darker.
At the same time daily, Baili Jia Jue would put his arms around Helian Wei Wei and sleep for a
few hours.
However, he did not sleep today. Instead, he stood up and poured a cup of cold tea for himself. Then, he sat on the chaise lounge without returning to bed and crossed his legs gracefully.
His black ancient robe greatly accentuated his satanic evilness of the dark night.
It was a completely different image from his apathy and elegance during the day.
Now, even his smile was tinged with faint evilness.
As he spun the cup in his hand, the black jewel of the ring on his bony little finger was brightly illuminated. The rays of light reflected highly accented his evilness, as if they were waiting to engulf something.
Then, feathers flew behind him, as though someone was singing an ancient sanskrits that can reflect all of the prosperity of the world. His manner was so imposing, no one could hide from his presence, as he uttered, "Come out."
The mere words were spoken icily and calmly, with a hint of some deterrence. Then. he continued, "On the count of three, brat. If you don't come out, you'll know what the outcome is."
Inside Helian Wei Wei's abdomen, a body of black daze hovered in the air as her blood coursed through it. The transparent fetus seemed could not be discerned yet, as it was covered by a layer of tiny hairs. After hearing Baili Jia Jue's words, it began to rumble.
After a swishing sound, black feathers cl.u.s.tered together before faintly glowing in the corner, slightly unveiling an indistinct, little silhouette.
The silhouette was very little. Pursing its lips, it seemed cold and gentle. Then, it said, "You can't beat me. If you beat me, mother will be sad."
"Are you threatening me?" Baili Jia Jue sneered and the black feathers started to change.
As the little silhouette was restrained by the feathers, he was very recalcitrant and uttered, "It's you who said I'm stupid first."
"Aren't you?" Baili Jia Jue simply ignored him and drank the tea, saying, "It's humans' world here. Didn't you create enough trouble already during the day? Breaking the bamboo stethoscope and intentionally creating noise to scare Imperial Physician Liu, do you only know these lowly pranks?"
The little silhouette grunted arrogantly, "How can I let those silly humans gaze at my n.a.k.e.d body? If they want to see yours, would you let them do it?"
"I wouldn't. However, I have many ways to prevent them from peeking at me. I'll break all their bamboo stethoscopes beforehand, instead of striking back when they touched me. This will make them suspect your mother. I don't care what method you use, don't cause trouble to your mother." Baili Jia Jue's spoke plainly, his clear, beautiful eyes brightened with golden light as a stern warning was written across his handsome face.
The little silhouette also understood that if the others knew that the fetus in his mother's abdomen was different from an ordinary human, they would surely harm her.
He did that during the day because he had lost control.
He regretted it after he had done that.
His little head lowered guiltily after being scolded by Baili Jia Jue. Then, he asked, "How about you? Don't think that I can't hear it as I'm inside my mother's tummy. People asked you to marry concubines in the Great Hall. They were actually troubling mother. You could've just killed them all, why are you leaving a person behind?"
"Brat, as a devil, you should learn to understand human first." Baili Jia Jue shook the cup and drank inattentively, saying, "There are many ways to let a human suffer other than killing them."
The little silhouette frowned, he knew that humans were very greedy and silly. For example, the two ministers in the Great Hall today were really disgusting.
His first reaction would be to kill them all.
Now that he thought about it, they were perhaps more afraid of losing their power.
"Also, about your dining manners." Baili Jia Jue glanced at him and said, "You should eat little by little, and don't limit it to an area. There are many exorcists in Divine Mainland. You have to learn to do things without leaving a trace, and stay under the guise of perfect elegance, so that others would not suspect your identity."
"Let me think about what the people who disrespected my mother are afraid of. I'll handle them secretly and then look for a scapegoat." Like father, like son indeed. The little silhouette knew what his imperial father meant without any explanation. He clenched his fist tightly and spoke in a solemn face, "But, you can't let mother know that the babies in the royal palace were scared away by me!"
Baili Jia Jue grinned evilly and put down the cup in his hand unhurriedly, before replying, "I'll see how you behave later and decide. Now, you can go back."
"Hmph!" The black feathers fell, and the fuzzy little silhouette disappeared in the darkness.
It was obvious that the father and son did not see eye to eye with one another.
However, they were both highly alike when it came to protecting Helian Wei Wei.
At that night, all medical devices that were related to stethoscopes in the Imperial Infirmary were shattered.
Everyone in the Li family in the western part of the country claimed that they had seen a ghost. They were so scared that they dared not leave their houses. Li Zhixiong had become crazy before the Retired Emperor even punished him. Everyone said that it was his karma, and the ordinary people killed by the Li family were seeking revenge.
However, actually...
"Brother, aren't worried that father would give you a private scolding by doing this?"
Both of the fetuses in the abdomen leaned their heads against each other and communicated in a language that only both of them understood...
Chapter 720 - Two Babies
The transparent fetus on the left was smaller and obviously weaker. His shape was also indistinct and he talked slowly.
The fetus on the right seemed very cool, saying, "No, I didn't. This time, I found a scapegoat and won't trouble mother."
"Didn't mother told us not to be naughty anymore? You've shattered the bamboo stethoscopes again, won't mother be unhappy about that? She would think we're disobedient." The small fetus's voice was very low and slow.
The bigger fetus realized something and moved with a rumble, saying, "Damn it! It's father! He set me up!"
"It's okay. Mother loves us very much, she won't be angry with us. Elder brother, don't be fooled by father again in the future." The smaller fetus added, "However, father is right. We have to be more careful. Let's behave every day and avoid troubling mother."
"Hmm," the bigger fetus said as he embraced the smaller one. Slightly displeased, the bigger fetus said, "Why are you getting smaller? Eat more tomorrow, I'll give my food to you."
The smaller fetus was not fully developed yet, speaking two sentences was his limit. After hearing his elder brother's words, he did not answer and fell into a deep sleep instead.
The bigger fetus was trying hard to m.a.t.u.r.e. Like a young sprout, it will grow rapidly after it was fully developed
A black haze and a spiritual aura that flowed endlessly like water surrounded him.
After a while, the bigger fetus moved his eyelids. His beautiful eyes opened slowly and were filled with a thick, evil aura, like flowing blood.
I want to go out earlier!
The nutrients here are not enough to satisfy me anymore...
On the following day, the entire Imperial Infirmary was thrown into complete chaos.
All the bamboo stethoscopes that were prepared for the Third Princess Consort's auscultation were broken.
The golden string that they used to feel pulses were also broken and strewn everywhere.
Some people said it was due to rats, while some claimed that the bamboos were broken because they were too old.
The imperial physicians of the Imperial Infirmary had never encountered this kind of situation. Hence, all of them were stunned. Before the new bamboo stethoscopes would be sent here, they could only use simple methods to assess Helian Wei Wei's status.
Fortunately, Heian Wei Wei's pulse was very stable. Thus, the imperi
al physicians in the Imperial Infirmary were greatly relieved.
However, the herbal cuisine had to be continued and Helian Wei Wei was a ferocious eater. Usually, she could finish the portion for four or five ordinary pregnant women.
The imperial physicians merely thought that it was the time for delivery soon, hence they did not think much about it.
Conversely, Helian Wei Wei's expression seemed devastated after listening to the news from the Imperial Infirmary.
Yet, the baby's prank becomes worse!
Evidently, the baby was doing it cleverly this time. All bamboo stethoscopes in the imperial palace were destroyed, dispelling the suspicion from Imperial Physician Li fro, before as well.
Everyone in the royal palace was now looking for rats to prevent them from creating further disturbances in the Imperial Infirmary.
Who would have known that the root of all these troubles, was actually inside her w.o.m.b?
"Don't be like this anymore, do you hear me?" Helian Wei Wei was different from Baili Jia Jue. She would let them know what was right and what was wrong when she educated them. This was not being rigid, but this was what parents should do.
She knew that after he was born, her child would own many things that could never be attained by normal people.
However, this was also the reason why she could not let her baby choose the wrong path.
Evidently, the baby did not understand these. Otherwise, the baby would not be rumbling now, as though it felt wronged.
Helian Wei Wei leaned on the soft mattress and put the book that she was reading just now aside. She stroked her underbelly and spoke in a gentle and languid voice, "Just think. The bamboo stethoscopes in the Imperial Infirmary are used to examine the patients, but you've destroyed all of them. What if people get sick? Furthermore, Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Zhang have treated me well. They are very senior elders. Working in the imperial palace is already an uphill task, but still, you create troubles for them. Baby, I don't care whether you like to fight or do evil things in the future, there's one thing you have to remember. Never show your strength on the weak. That would make you look ridiculous."
