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 mature. 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 imperial 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.
Only a night has passed...
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 womb?
"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."
The movements in her womb weakened, as if the baby was making an apology.
"It's okay, I know you are not doing this on purpose." Helian Wei Wei stroked her underbelly and asked, "Is it okay if we go to the South Chancery to look for your dad later? It's said that looking at beautiful people during pregnancy is the key to having good-looking babies. You have to look at your dad frequently and take after his appearance in the future."
I don't want to!
I don't want to be like father!
Mother, I'll be more handsome than father when I get out!
1The smaller fetus heard and laughed, teasing, "Elder brother, mother can't hear you even if you shout forever."
"Anyway, I don't want to be like father." The bigger fetus took care of the smaller fetal competently, asking, "Have you eaten today? Come, I'll give you some spiritual aura." As he spoke, two fetuses put their heads together, "When we get out, will mother like us?"
The smaller fetus took two breaths of spiritual aura, and his low voice was imbued with eagerness as he replied, "Of course, she will. Her movement is very soft every time she strokes her belly. She would even talk to us tenderly. Based on her actions, mother would surely adore us."
"Yeah, we have to go out quickly." The bigger fetus moved and said, "Only then, we can see mother. Now, we only can see father and even if we talk, only he could hear us. It's very boring."
Baili Jia Jue was also unamused, as the telepathy between Helian Wei Wei and him would be destroyed when the little devil's shape was formed. Even now, he could not read what Helian Wei Wei was thinking.
As this matter was beyond his control, he felt greatly displeased.
Now that Wei Wei had spent most of her time on the babies, their intimate moments had also drastically reduced.
This little brat was really troublesome, as expected.
Helian Wei Wei also noticed His Highness' discontent. Hence, she smiled and hugged his waist from behind, asking, "Do you think our baby is a boy or a girl?"
"A boy." He had seen the brat yesterday, he was such an eyesore.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and asked, "How do you know?"
"It must be a brat to eat this much." Baili Jia Jue smiled, his voice was deep and pleasant to hear as usual. Actually, he was doing that to slander his own son.
Helian Wei Wei took it seriously and pressed her face against Baili Jia Jue's back and spoke doubtfully, "If it is a boy, does he have to study since young? I've seen this is how the princes in ancient times live. Also, they have to practice sword fighting and learn the art of war, so that they could be useful during wars. Didn't you love learning the art of war the most when you were young?"
"Hmm." Baili Jia Jue put down the ancient scroll in his hand as a smile appeared on his handsome face. He loved reading those books because he could perfect his murdering skills, not for reading about the wars. He believed that the little brat would like it too. After all, this was in the devil's nature...
