"Summon the imperial physician?" The little one furrowed his eyebrows further and said, "Third Aunt, are you feeling unwell?" If so, he would go and tell his Third Brother immediately.
Helian Wei Wei pinched the little one's face, saying, "I'm not sick but I'm concerned about something else. Look for an imperial physician quickly but remember, don't let anyone else know about this."
"Yes!" the little one answered firmly. Then, he ran out of the royal chamber with a duck wing still in his mouth.
The eunuchs and palace maids who stood outside were perplexed as they witnessed this.
Helian Wei Wei had stopped drinking her tea. Instead, she glanced downward and stroked her belly hesitantly...
Am I pregnant?
The thought of being pregnant had never crossed Helian Wei Wei's mind. Now that she knew about it, she felt extremely ecstatic.
Her heart was absolutely brimming with happiness.
She personally adored children very much.
She even considered adopting a child in the modern era.
However, she did not expect that she would get pregnant in ancient times instead.
She was both mystified and amazed at the thought of a child trailing behind her, calling her mother or mommy.
She could even imagine the Third Prince's face as he cradled the little baby in his arms.
He would definitely put down everything to hug the child.
Helian Wei Wei chuckled and stroked her belly again. It was no longer a figment of her imagination like before. Her alluring eyes sparkled in anticipation, all would be confirmed when the imperial physician arrived.
Little Seven was incredibly reliable, and he brought an imperial physician over only after a short while.
However, the Little Seventh prince had always disliked dilly-dallying and the elderly imperial physician was hard of hearing. So, the little person did not maunder and single-handedly lifted his target, carrying him straight to the royal chamber.
"Your Highness, Seven... Seventh Prince, please put me down quickly. I'm... I'm getting out of breath!"
Little Seven was short. Hence, all the eunuchs and palace maids were very shocked when they saw him carrying a full-grown adult inside.
The old imperial physician almost burst into tears, as he tried to cover his face.
The little person responded in a domineering tone, "Be quiet, other men are not allowed to enter the royal chamber. You will be in trouble if Third Brother hears you."
The old imperial physician remained silent in reply.
Then why did you carry me here?!
Are you trying to kill me?
"Little Seven, put Imperial Physician Liu down." Helian Wei Wei had heard the commotion outside and stepped out to investigate. When she saw little one single-handedly carried an old man, she found it very hilarious.
The little one had always been obedient to Helian Wei Wei, so he placed Imperial Physician Liu on the ground with a solemn face.
The Imperial Physician Liu finally felt relieved and proceeded to greet Helian Wei Wei, "Y-Your humble servant greets the Third Princess Consort."
"As you were." Helian Wei Wei smiled lightly as she spoke, "Little Seven enjoys joking with elders, I apologize if he caused you any trouble."
Imperial Physician Liu waved his hands and shook his head hurriedly, replying, "There is nothing to apologize for. Little Seventh Prince's is a frank and sincere individual, it was no trouble at all..." My a*s! Even a deity would be half dead after being jostled around by him like that!
"Please have a seat, Imperial Physician Liu. I'm the one who requested Little Seven to summon you here." Helian Wei Wei was sensible and understood the true meaning behind the imperial physician's words. However, she also knew that he had meant no harm. The old imperial physician was a loyal subject of the Retired Emperor and a member of civil society. Similar to Eunuch Sun, he liked to nag Little Seven, but he sincerely adored him. This was why she always treated them politely.
Imperial Physician Liu always thought that Helian Wei Wei's brilliance made people feel at ease. Ever since he knew about the case of the alley, his respect for her grew. Now that he discovered that it was her who called for him, he immediately asked anxiously, "Third Princess Consort, are you feeling unwell?"
"That's not the case." Helian Wei Wei extended her hand with a faint smile on her lips, saying, "I just want Imperial Physician Liu to feel my pulse."
Imperial Physician Liu was stunned when he heard this request. Then, a realization came to his mind as his face seemed pleasantly surprised.
He was an experienced imperial physician who had been in the imperial palace for a long time, so he knew the intention behind Helian Wei Wei's request.
He sat down quickly and even ignored the discomfort in his stomach. Then, he reached out his hand and felt Helian Wei Wei's pulse.
In less than 10 seconds, Imperial Physician Liu looked up excitedly and announced, "Congratulations princess consort, you... You're pregnant!"
1The little one was stuffing his mouth when he heard Imperial Physician Liu's words and gasped in shock. He glanced at Helian Wei Wei's abdomen and at the object inside his hand, he was completely stunned.
Helian Wei Wei had also presumed that she was pregnant. However, a guess felt vastly different from personally receiving the verification from the old imperial physician.
I wonder what would His Highness' expression be once he finds out? Heh.
Helian Wei Wei's heart was full of anticipation.
That man was usually very graceful, and never seemed unsettled before.
He was undoubtedly an arrogant child when he was young.
Helian Wei Wei recalled the Soul Fragments that she encountered previously and grinned.
Who would the kid take after? Would the kid look like him? Or more like me?
It would be blessed if the child inherited His Highness' handsome face, no matter the gender. With a face like his, countries and cities could be easily conquered. If he were a boy, he could marry a lovely belle and reach the pinnacle of success in life.
As for the temper, it would be better not to inherit anything from the Third Prince. His propensity to lock someone up on a whim was very troublesome.
"Hehehe, the Third Prince and the Retired Emperor would surely be ecstatic if knew about this." Imperial Physician Liu could not help but guffaw in joy, saying, "This is an auspicious event!"
Helian Wei Wei's happiness was written all over her face. However, she was still very careful and said, "Imperial Physician Liu, nobody can know the reason why you're here today. I asked Little Seven to find you in person because I want to keep a low profile. Currently, the Third Prince has gone out of the imperial palace to welcome the Retired Emperor. Let's save this news for tomorrow. Do you understand?"
"Yes. I understand princess consort's words, " Imperial Physician Liu's tone changed and his attitude became more respectful upon hearing these words. He held his hands before his chest and said, "Do not fret princess consort. If anyone asks me, I will say it was a prank by the Seventh Prince."
Helian Wei Wei smiled in return and replied, "That's a well-thought plan, Imperial Physician Liu."
Imperial Physician Liu blushed as he heard this. His Highness had instructed him to take good care of the princess consort before he left.
He was excited for a moment just now, and had forgotten that the imperial palace was not a tranquil place as it seemed to be.
People would conspire and yearn for the throne as long as it remained empty.
It was peaceful inside this Jiuchong Hall because His Highness had thoroughly cleansed the place of any troublemakers. However, secret informers lurked everywhere in the imperial palace.
If people found out about the princess consort's pregnancy, they would begin to concoct evil schemes.
"I will go back right now to prevent arousing any suspicions from others." After he had thought it through, Imperial Physician Liu promptly stood up...
