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!

The 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…

Chapter 721: The Child Was Evil, But The Adult Was Even More So

However, the action of her hugging herself was very useful for Baili Jia Jue.

As a smile flashed on his regally handsome face, Bali Jia Jue immediately turned around and embraced Helian Wei Wei in his arms. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.

Helian Wei Wei was dumbfounded for a moment, but a smile gradually grew on her face as she gently kissed him back.

His Highness had already learned to restrain himself for her physical condition.

Helian Wei Wei reciprocated the intimacy as she thought about this.

However, Baili Jia Jue suddenly stopped and raised his beautiful eyes, staring at her inquisitively. Then, he asked, “Why are you so obedient?”

“I’m pregnant. Naturally, I have to be more genteel.” Helian Wei Wei immediately knew what he meant when she saw his gaze, as she blushed slightly.

Baili Jia Jue inhaled deeply, and looked at Helian Wei Wei’s underbelly. His usually graceful tone was tinged with unexpected jealousy as he said, “Tormenting little devil, I’ll throw him away once he’s born.”

“Don’t say that, the baby will overhear.” Helian Wei Wei laughed when she saw him frowning slightly, saying, “The baby will be born soon. When he becomes a little bun and chases us around, asking us to hug him, you’ll love him very much.”

“Heh. ” Baili Jia Jue smiled evilly. It would be best if that did not happen. Otherwise, he would drag him by his legs and threw him away.

It was bad enough that he disturbed them before he was born, yet he still wanted to get between them after he was born?

Maybe the bigger fetus had realized the disdain from his father.

The bigger fetus protested in his heart. Who wants him to hug us? He’s so cold and stern. Mother’s still the best, mother loves us the most!

“Right, how could I forget it? Didn’t you raise Little Seven before? How did it feel that time?” Helian Wei Wei felt that she should learn from others’ experiences as a parent.

Baili Jia Jue merely responded, “He ate a lot.”

Helian Wei Wei was speechless…

Ugh, I really asked the wrong person.

It was mainly because His Highness education methods were flawed.

Little Seven was such an adorable child, yet he was brought up incorrectly by Baili Jia Jue.

It would be better if the baby was not influenced by him. What if the baby learned to have a twisted perspective of life?

It seemed that Helian Wei Wei’s worries were justified.

When he was displeased with him, His Highness would occasionally spend some free time to educate his son on the basic attributes of being a devil.

Hence, the bigger fetus started to observe humans even when he was in the womb.

Not for other reasons, but only for him to manipulate and disguise as them better after he was born.

Except for his mother, every human was merely a chess piece for him to toy around.

However, these were not important. Most importantly, he needed to learn how to become a good older brother.

Of course, this was not taught by his father.

Based on his understanding, other than his mother, his father had no care for anyone else.

As he was also a devil, the bigger fetus was not surprised by that observation. Instead, he hugged the smaller fetus more tightly. He even told the smaller fetus about him scaring people as bedtime stories for him

The bigger fetus wanted to leave early, not only to see his mother, but also to hear the smaller fetus call him brother.

After being taught by Baili Jia Jue, the bigger fetus learned to do things without leaving traces.

Nothing suspicious had appeared in the palace too.

Other than the surroundings of Jiuchong Hall becoming overly clean, everything else was completely normal.

The Retired Emperor was someone who understood his cold grandson, thus he found some time to talk with Baili Jia Jue privately, saying. “Since you are becoming a father, you must behave like one. You cannot raise my baby grandchild as you raised Little Seven again. Don’t teach him your nonsensical mindsets to him. The child’s not born yet. Even after he’s born, he’s still young, let him enjoy life properly first.”

The Retired Emperor was a wise person, his words clearly displayed his deep affection for his unborn great-grandchild.

Eunuch Sun knew it very well. Thus, he obeyed the Retired Emperor’s order to thoroughly clean the entire Jiuchong Hall daily.

He cherished his Little Master so much even though he was not born yet, it was such a rare sight.

If he was really born, the Retired Emperor might simply ignore the imperial affairs and play with Little Master the entire day.

Little Seven only knew how to eat all day.

When he ate, he would claim that the food he took was for the baby, munching the goldfish confidently.

Even the fries he arduously caught from Jiang Nan had very little left.

Little Seven even captured the Retired Emperor’s pet, a wild goose, from the yard.

The Retired Emperor was not infuriated, and he even silently allowed Little Seven to mess around the imperial palace.

The Retired Emperor did not stop Little Seven when he announced that he wanted to hunt a dragon for the baby to eat.

It was clear as day that the Retired Emperor loved his unborn Little Master.

As Baili Jia Jue was listening to the Retired Emperor, he seemed to think of something and suddenly laughed. He put down the teacup, stood up, and said slowly, “If grandfather is afraid that I can’t raise him properly, you can take him away and raise him yourself.”

The Retired Emperor froze, an ecstatic smile covertly appeared in the corner of his smile but he pretended to be collected, saying, “He should indeed be by my side, Wei Wei will worry if you raise him into a cold-hearted person because of your nature.

“Understood.” Baili Jia Jue’s spoke plainly and nonchalantly, “But, you should ask Wei Wei about this yourself.”

The Retired Emperor did not know that his grandson was deceiving him. He threw all thoughts aways when he thought of hugging his great-grandson and enjoying the blissful moment together. So, he said, “Of course, I will. You should smile more. Don’t concern yourself too much with trifling matters at the South Chancery, free your time to accompany Wei Wei…”

Baili Jia Jue did not need to listen anymore because the troubles were already settled.

If the little brat was disobedient and disturbed them in the future, he would immediately kick him to the Zhengyang Palace.

Wei Wei had always been soft-hearted. If the Retired Emperor wanted to see the child, she would never refuse him.

No matter how shrewd the bigger fetus was, he did not expect that his father would do this. He simply stayed inside Helian Wei Wei’s belly and absorbed the nutrients from his surroundings endlessly.

That night, Helian Wei Wei felt that His Highness’ mood was better than the past two days, so she asked curiously, “Did anything good happen today?”

“Hmm? Why?” Baili Jia Jue embraced her languidly and fed her a jujube with one hand, with a gentle smile on his face.

Assuming that something good must have happened, Helian Wei Wei extended her hand and poked his face. Then, she purred, “You’re smiling.”

“I just resolved some minor problems.” As Baili Jia Jue spoke, he glanced at Helian Wei Wei’s belly mindlessly.
