Chapter 724 - Father Had An Idea (1/2)

“Brother, we eat so much. Are you sure Mother’s body can bear with it?” The smaller fetus moved his newly-formed palms.

The bigger fetus extended hugged him, and said after contemplating, “Don’t worry, Father is here and he’ll definitely think of an idea. If he cannot even solve this trivial problem, how can he be our Father? I’ll go out tonight and catch some dead souls for you to eat.”

“I don’t want to eat anymore. Brother, you can eat them, you need more strength,” the smaller fetus spoke very slowly but firmly.

The bigger fetus did not say anything. He looked at the weak silhouette of the smaller fetus and extended his small arms to pull him into an embrace again, as a light surfaced in his blood-red eyes…

Without spiritual energy, Helian Wei Wei was still herself. She still ate and slept as usual.

However, it was evident that the mercenaries around her had increased drastically, and the big Alsatian trailing behind her had never left her side ever since.

Imperial Physician Liu was very anxious, as he was scared the Third Prince would throw questions at him every time he came to examine her.

However, this day still came.

The Third Prince summoned him to the South Chancery alone. He was holding a memorial that was pa.s.sed to him by the servants, clad in a long robe draped over his body that was made of sky brocade and gambiered canton gauze. Under the low light, the silk glowed faintly as if it was shrouded in the wind and mist of the night.

The Third Prince’s gaze was fixated on the book being held in his fair hands, his dark irises filled with apathy as he asked, “Spill it. What’s going on with her?”

Imperial Physician Liu did not expect the Third Prince to be this straightforward.

He initially thought that he would start by asking about her diet or pulse.

However, it was obvious that the Third Prince had managed to catch on to something.

Imperial Physician Liu dared not conceal the facts. He fell to his knees on the ground and replied honestly as he trembled in fear, “The fetus is abnormal, it is growing too fast.”

Baili Jia Jue listened to the entire story with a calm expression. He held the memorial in one hand, seemingly unconcerned. However, people who knew the Third Prince well would understand that he was the most unpredictable at times like these.

“Imperial Physician Liu, how long have you been in the imperial palace?” As Baili Jia Jue said this, he tilted his body sideways and tossed the memorial aside. The ends of his long robe stroked the ground, and he looked at Imperial Physician Liu with his raven hair and dark eyes. His posture was so handsome it resembled a G.o.d standing above the clouds.

Imperial Physician Liu did not understand the purpose of the Third Prince’s question. After contemplating for a bit, he answered as his forehead was beaded with cold sweat, “T-to answer Your Highness’ question, it has been more than 30 years.”

“You’ve been here for quite a long time indeed.” Baili Jia Jue spun the black jade ring on his thumb, and pressed on without a change in his tone, “Since she wants you to stay, I won’t do anything to you. However, Imperial Physician Liu, you must etch her words to your skull, or else…”

As he spoke, Baili Jia Jue’s lips twisted into a smirk, without losing a single trace of his elegant, jade-like aura.

However, Imperial Physician Liu understood the hidden meaning in his statement.

He had always known His Highness’ tactics.

A dead person would best keep a secret.

Per usual practice, an imperial physician such as him would not have lived.

As he left the South Chancery, Imperial Physician Liu finally heaved a long sigh of relief.

It was the Third Princess Consort who saved his life.

He secretly patted himself on the back for not mentioning anything about the fetus to anyone.

Nothing in the imperial palace that could be concealed from His Highness.

However, compared to the fetus, His Highness seemed to be more concerned about the conversation he had with the Third Princess Consort

Imperial Physician Liu could not exactly place a finger on what the Master really meant, but he knew that the word ‘ghost baby’ should never be brought up, especially to the Retired Emperor. To him, his great-grandson was just an ordinary fetus…

“Master.” The Green Dragon and the Fire Qilin appeared when they heard Baili Jia Jue summoning them, flooding the entire South Chancery with auspicious Qi.

Baili Jia Jue’s uttered calmly, “Go to the netherworld and get me some dead souls.”

“Huh? We have to antagonize the netherworld again!” The Green Dragon’s voice was filled with undeniable excitement.
