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 s.p.a.ce.
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 swis.h.i.+ng 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 naked 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 ident.i.ty.”
“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…
