Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King - Chapter 181

Duanmu Xi also slightly frowned and nodded at Xuanyuan Hao indifferently.

Xuanyuan Hao looked at Duanmu Xi in a slight trance. She was still so beautiful that she was like an otherworldly fairy. He hadn’t seen her for several days only but he felt that it was like ages. Today, upon receiving the news from Huai’er, he had rushed here to wait for her. Thankfully, he finally got to meet her now.

Xuanyuan Hao’s invasive eyes made Duanmu Xi rather uncomfortable. She subconsciously took a step back.

With a long face, Xuanyuan Mo had fierceness in his eyes and displayed an air of coldness.

Xuanyuan Mo teleported a step to the left side and directly stood in front of Duanmu Xi to block Xuanyuan Hao’s vision. His amber eyes were coated with fierceness and a bit of killing intent, “What’s up?” His cold voice seemed to contain cold wind and freeze the whole street.

Feeling the killing intent of Xuanyuan Mo, Xuanyuan Hao turned his gaze from Duanmu Xi to look at Xuanyuan Mo with a gentle smile, “Nothing. I just happened to see you in the street so I came here to say hi.”

Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes flickered. Staring at Xuanyuan Hao, he said coldly, “In this case, we’ll excuse us then.”

The moment Xuanyuan Mo moved, he was stopped by Xuanyuan Hao who still looked gentle, “No rush. Since we’ve met, let’s tour around the Imperial City. You rarely stay in the Imperial City. I suppose you are not familiar with this place. Today, why don’t you let me show you around?”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo slightly narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Don’t bother. I will show Xi around on my own.”

Then, Xuanyuan Mo just ignored Xuanyuan Hao and directly left, holding Duanmu Xi’s hand.

Instantly, Phoenix Five and Lishang followed them.

Xuanyuan Hao looked at the couple going away from behind, his eyes glistening with envy. He clenched his fists and blue veins stood up on the backs of his hands. Xuanyuan Hao thought, “Xuanyuan Mo, she will be mine sooner or later.”

Holding Duanmu Xi’s hand, Xuanyuan Mo kept walking forward fast.

Feeling a bit of pain in her hand, Duanmu Xi raised her head and took a look at Xuanyuan Mo only to see that he still looked gloomy. She knew that he was still angry so she said nothing and left him holding her hand. Meanwhile, she quickened her pace and tried her best to keep up with his steps.

Phoenix Five behind them was a bit anxious to see Xuanyuan Mo dragging Duanmu Xi and walking so fast. She flew to the front of Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi, saying to Xuanyuan Mo anxiously, “Your Highness, please slow down. Her Highness can’t afford to run like this. If she falls, she will be seriously injured.”

If anything unforeseen happened, how should she face Her Majesty?

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo felt as if waking up from a dream and then immediately scrutinized Duanmu Xi, “Xi, are you OK?” He was so overwhelmed by jealousy that he forgot that Duanmu Xi was pregnant. If anything untoward happened to her due to him, he would never forgive himself.

Duanmu Xi smiled and shook her head, “I’m fine. It’s not that serious as Phoenix Five said.”

Xuanyuan Mo was still worried. He directly carried Duanmu Xi in his arms and walked to a clinic in front.

Duanmu Xi was startled by Xuanyuan Mo’s sudden action, “Snow, what are you doing? Put me down. I’m really fine.”

Xuanyuan Mo directly carried her into the clinic regardless of Duanmu Xi’s resistance. He put her down carefully and looked at an old man, saying anxiously, “Doctor, please give my wife a body check and see if her baby is okay.”

Lishang who was the last one to follow inside heard Xuanyuan Mo’s words and stopped. Then, he felt a surge of ecstasy. Her Highness was pregnant. Great. His Highness had his descendent now.

Hearing that, the old man looked at Duanmu Xi, “Madam, please put your hand on the pulse pillow.”

Duanmu Xi took a glance at the nervous look of Xuanyuan Mo and put her hand on the pulse pillow resignedly.

The old man closed his eyes and took Duanmu Xi’s pulse carefully.

After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at Xuanyuan Mo, “Your wife’s pulse is stable. The baby is fine but…”

“But what?” Xuanyuan Mo’s relaxed mind became nervous again.

Duanmu Xi also looked at the old man with a frown. Even Phoenix Five and Lishang aside also stared at the old man nervously.

The old man looked at their nervous facial expressions and stroked his beard, saying with a smile, “Yet, according to your wife’s pulse, there should be more than a baby in her belly. She should be pregnant with twins.”

After hearing that, the others all gazed at Duanmu Xi’s belly in a daze. Xuanyuan Mo’s mind was totally blank and he just stared at Duanmu Xi’s belly, slack-jawed.

Duanmu Xi was also stupefied and then put her hands on her belly. Was she pregnant with twins? Why didn’t Chief Master tell her about it before?

Phoenix Five was the first one to compose herself. She looked at Duanmu Xi and turned around in situ with excitement, “This is so great! Terrific! Your Highness is pregnant with twins. I must report this to Her Majesty. Her Majesty must be very happy about it. I must report this now.”

Lishang aside was also very excited, “Great. Princess Consort is pregnant with twins. I’ll go and report this to King.”

Then, he put the things in his hands down and directly ran outside.

Looking at the two people running outside with excitement, Duanmu Xi immediately shouted, “Come back, both of you.”

Now, Duanmu Xi among them was the most normal one.

Hearing Duanmu Xi’s shout, Phoenix Five and Lishang immediately stopped.

Phoenix Five turned to look at Duanmu Xi and said with a grieved facial expression, “Is Your Highness still not going to tell Her Majesty Empress?”

Previously, Her Highness didn’t let her tell Her Majesty about the pregnancy for fear that His Highness might know about it. Now that His Highness had known about Her Highness’s pregnancy, why didn’t Her Highness let her report this to Her Majesty Empress? If Her Majesty knew that Phoenix Five deliberately kept this from her, Phoenix Five would be severely punished. Particularly, Her Highness’s pregnancy was what Her Majesty cared about most.

Lishang also looked at Duanmu Xi with confusion and didn’t understand why she didn’t let them report this.

Duanmu Xi looked at them and smiled, “No rush. I’m not asking you not to report this. I just want to confirm it first lest you send out a wrong message.”

Xuanyuan Mo finally came to his senses, “Yes. Let’s go back to our mansion first.”

Then, he directly carried Duanmu Xi in his arms and looked at Lishang, saying, “Lishang, send for Doctor Liu.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Lishang immediately rushed out upon hearing that.

The old man didn’t compose himself until they were away for a long time. The young couple was referred to as His Highness and Her Highness Princess Consort. In the Baihu Empire, only Prince Zhan and Princess Consort Zhan could be called this way.

Lost in thought, the old man saw a man walk inside.

Upon entering, the man asked, “What’s wrong with her?”

The old man blinked his eyes and didn’t understand whom the man was asking about.

Xuanyuan Hao got anxious. He grabbed the old man by the neck and yelled, “Tell me. What on earth is wrong with the woman in white?”

The old man stared at Xuanyuan Hao’s fierce face and swallowed, saying nervously, “She… She’s fine… She is just pregnant…”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Hao was directly dumbfounded. A while later, he finally said in a daze, “What did you say?”

Looking at Xuanyuan Hao’s abnormal reaction, the old man was so afraid and even started to shiver slightly.

“I… I said she was fine… She is just pregnant…”

Xuanyuan Hao’s mind went blank, which was only focused on the word–“pregnant”. She was pregnant. How could she be pregnant?

Xuanyuan Hao didn’t know how he got out of the clinic. Now, he seemed to be soulless.

After Xuanyuan Hao left, the old man immediately collapsed. Then, he got up quickly and closed the door of the clinic. He raised his arm and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Gee, he was almost killed. It seemed that he had better leave the Imperial City as soon as possible.

In Prince Zhan’s mansion.

Xuanyuan Mo carried Duanmu Xi back into their mansion. Then, Lishang came back with Doctor Liu, which instantly startled all the people in Prince Zhan’s mansion. Everyone was guessing what was wrong with Princess Consort Zhan.

In Xuelan House.

Xuanyuan Mo, Phoenix Five, Lishang and Yu Ying were all staring at Doctor Liu with expectant facial expressions.

After feeling her pulse for a while, Doctor Liu finally withdrew his hand and looked at Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi, “Your Highness is pregnant with more than one baby but as to the specific number of the babies, I can’t be sure of it yet.”

The people were all dumbfounded to hear that. The number of the babies? Wasn’t Duanmu Xi pregnant with twins?

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Duanmu Xi’s belly in a daze, “Doctor Liu, you mean Xi may be pregnant with more than two babies.”

Hearing that, Doctor Liu immediately said with a bow, “Yes, according to Her Highness’s pulse, Her Highness may be pregnant with twins, triplets, or even quadruplets. I just can’t be sure of it.”

Duanmu Xi slightly knitted her eyebrows. Why was she pregnant with so many babies?

Phoenix Five and the others could hardly retain their composure with excitement.

However, Xuanyuan Mo felt worried rather than excited now, “Doctor Liu, will having so many babies at a time do any harm to Xi’s health?”

Hearing that, Doctor Liu nodded and said, “Of course, it’s already very tough for an ordinary woman to conceive one baby. Now, Her Highness is carrying multiple babies. Her Highness may not feel anything during the early pregnancy. Yet, as the babies grow bigger, Her Highness will feel very hard. Besides, multiple births have a higher rate of miscarriage. More attention should be paid to Her Highness during the late pregnancy.”

Doctor Liu knew that Prince Zhan loved his wife dearly so he talked about the risk of being pregnant with multiple births as in detail as possible.

“Most importantly, as to delivery, multiple births must be a lot more dangerous than a single birth. Especially Her Highness is pregnant for the first time so the risk of having a difficult labor is higher.”

The more Xuanyuan Mo heard, the paler his face became. Especially when he heard Doctor Liu mention “difficult labor”, his heart thumped. All of a sudden, he kind of regretted making her pregnant.

Hearing Doctor Liu’s words, the excitement on the faces of Phoenix Five and the others was replaced by worry.

Duanmu Xi was not as worried as them. After all, in modern times, triplets and quadruplets were quite common. She had even heard of quintuplets. Yet, the baby delivering skill in ancient times shouldn’t be as good as in modern times. However, she believed that there shouldn’t be any big problem.

“Is there any medicine to get rid of two babies and keep only one?” Xuanyuan Mo asked after being silent for a while.
