Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King - Chapter 182

Duanmu Xi jumped out of the chair in astonishment and stared at Xuanyuan Mo in disbelief, “Snow, are you insane?”

He wanted to abort their babies! How could he do that? He was the babies’ father!

Faced with Duanmu Xi’s emotional face, Xuanyuan Mo was taken aback. He immediately walked to her and stroked her back, “Xi, calm down. Listen to me…”

Duanmu Xi directly shook off Xuanyuan Mo’s hand and said with agitation, “I won’t listen to you. Xuanyuan Mo, if you dare to abort my babies, I will fight with you desperately.”

“Okay. Okay. I won’t. Don’t get so emotional for the sake of the babies.” As Duanmu Xi got increasingly emotional, Xuanyuan Mo compromised at once.

Doctor Liu aside also immediately comforted, “Your Highness, please rest assured. There’s no such medicine as His Highness mentioned. The babies exist together. There’s no way to abort two and keep one. If Your Highness takes the abortion medicine, all the babies will be affected.”

Duanmu Xi glared at Xuanyuan Mo upon hearing that.

Xuanyuan Mo touched his nose with a guilty conscience. He walked to Duanmu Xi and said gently, “Xi, don’t be angry. I do want our babies. I’m more than happy that you are pregnant with twins but if being pregnant may put you in danger, I’d rather have no baby.”

Xuanyuan Mo’s sincere words touched all the people present, especially Doctor Liu. As an imperial doctor, he was clearer than all the others how the imperial family members cared about the descendants. Prince Zhan preferred to have no baby in order to prevent Princess Consort Zhan from having a difficult labor. How much Prince Zhan loved Princess Consort Zhan was needless to say.

Duanmu Xi was instantly soft-hearted and touched. She stared at Xuanyuan Mo, saying seriously, “I know you’re worried about me but regardless, I won’t give up our babies because they are our blood and flesh, the continuance of our lives, and most importantly, the fruit of our love. No matter how hard it takes, I’ll give birth to them.”

Hearing her words, Xuanyuan Mo went forward and held Duanmu Xi to his arms gently, his amber eyes full of worry, “Xi…”

Doctor Liu saw their interaction and felt a bit touched, “Please don’t be too worried. Princess Consort Zhan is very healthy and her pulse is stable. With proper care, there won’t be any big problem.”

Lishang aside also went forward and comforted, “Doctor Liu is right. Your Highness, don’t be too worried. Many women of our snow wolf clan had multiple births. And they all gave birth to the babies smoothly. Her Highness will be fine, too.”

When Xuanyuan Mo heard that, his eyes slightly glistened. Oh right, the snow wolf clan always had multiple births. Xi’s multiple pregnancies must have something to do with his wolf blood. Yet, after all, Xi was not of the wolf clan. He was really worried that she couldn’t stand it.

Duanmu Xi stroked her belly gently and wondered whether her multiple pregnancies had something to do with Snow’s wolf blood.

“Xi.”

Suddenly, Situ Kong rushed inside hurriedly, followed by Long Yue and Lian Zhengyu.

The three of them rushed to Duanmu Xi hurriedly upon entering the room, “Xi, are you OK?”

Long Yue and Lian Zhengyu didn’t ask anything but they still kept looking Duanmu Xi up and down.

Upon seeing their anxious facial expressions, Duanmu Xi nodded, “Yes, I’m fine. Why are you here?”

Situ Kong grabbed Duanmu Xi’s wrist with worry and took her pulse.

Upon seeing the three of them come inside, Doctor Liu bowed to Xuanyuan Mo, “I shall excuse myself now. I’ll come and take Her Highness’s pulse a while later.”

Xuanyuan Mo nodded and looked at Lishang aside, “Lishang, see Doctor Liu off.”

Lishang immediately said with a bow, “Yes, Your Highness.” Then, he ushered Doctor Liu out of the room.

A moment later, Situ Kong put down Duanmu Xi’s wrist with reassurance.

“You’re really fine. Everything is fine. You’ve freaked me out. I heard from the people in the mansion that you were carried back by Mo and that Doctor Liu was sent here. I thought something had gone wrong with you.”

Hearing that, Long Yue was slightly reassured. Just now, he heard that Her Highness was carried back. Out of worry, he left the sacred maiden unattended and directly ran back to Xuelan House.

Lian Zhengyu aside was slightly reassured. Upon hearing from those people in the mansion that she was carried back, he felt so utterly regretful. He decided to follow and protect her in secret no matter what she said.

Duanmu Xi looked at the retrospective fear on Situ Kong’s face and pouted with smiling eyes, “How can you say that? It’s all your fault.”

Upon hearing that, Situ Kong blinked his eyes, “What have I done?”

“Just now, Snow took me to a clinic. The doctor said I was pregnant with twins. Snow carried me back with excitement and let Lishang send for Doctor Liu. That’s all there is to it. Isn’t this your fault? You’ve taken my pulse many times. Why didn’t you recognize that I’m pregnant with twins?”

Situ Kong, Long Yue and Lian Zhengyu were all dumbfounded to hear that and then gazed at Duanmu Xi’s belly in a daze.

A moment later, Situ Kong finally came to his senses, “You are saying that you’re pregnant with twins.”

Duanmu Xi slightly curled her lips, “Not twins, but multiple babies. Doctor Liu said I might have more than two babies.”

Again, the three of them were slack-jawed. The serial news had struck them dumb.

Situ Kong stared at Duanmu Xi’s belly and said with excitement, “Multiple babies. This is wonderful. In this case, I will have several grandchildren. What a delight!”

Xuanyuan Mo looked at Situ Kong’s excited face and knitted his eyebrows, “There’s nothing to be happy about. Doctor Liu said Xi might have a higher risk of miscarriage and difficult labor as she was pregnant with multiple babies.”

Situ Kong also frowned and nodded, “Doctor Liu is right but it doesn’t matter. With my tocolytic elixirs, Xi will be fine for sure.”

Xuanyuan Mo’s mouth twitched. He said with disdain, “Are you sure there’s no problem with your tocolytic elixirs? You can’t even find that Xi is pregnant with multiple babies. I don’t think your elixirs will absolutely work.”

Hearing that, all the others lowered their heads and snickered in secret.

Situ Kong stamped his feet with anger, “I’m not a physician. There’s nothing strange about me not finding her pregnant with multiple babies. However, I’m a professional refining pharmacist. There can’t be anything wrong with my tocolytic elixirs.”

This brat was so outrageous. Situ Kong deemed himself as the best refining pharmacist on the Hantian Continent. How could Xuanyuan Mo think lightly of his elixirs? The tocolytic elixirs were specially made by Situ Kong for Xi. And Xuanyuan Mo said that the elixirs were of little use.

“Wait and see. I’ll go and refine elixirs now,” Situ Kong said and then left in a fit of pique.

“Chief Master… Chief Master…” Seeing Situ Kong’s angry look, Duanmu Xi called him twice with worry and then turned to look at Xuanyuan Mo, “Snow, what are you doing?”

Xuanyuan Mo slightly curled his lips, “Nothing. Isn’t it nice to let him go back and refine more tocolytic elixirs for you?”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi sighed resignedly. Snow and Chief Master just couldn’t stop bickering.

Phoenix Five went forward and looked at Duanmu Xi, saying with a bow, “Your Highness, may I inform Her Majesty about your pregnancy?”

The other people also looked at Duanmu Xi with an expectant look.

Duanmu Xi pondered for a while with a frown and then said with a nod, “Go ahead but don’t tell her that I’m pregnant with multiple babies. I don’t want to have them worried about me.” She didn’t want them to know simply for fear that Snow would know about her pregnancy. Now that she didn’t have such a scruple and being pregnant was kind of happy news, of course she would let them know.

Phoenix Five was ecstatic to hear that and then said with excitement, “Yes, I’m on it.”

“Wait. I’ll write a letter to Mother and Grandpa later. Then, you and Long Yue send the letters to them for me.” If she didn’t write a letter to them on her own, her mother and grandpa would probably rush to the Baihu Empire again. They had been back for two months only. She didn’t want them to take pains in coming to Baihu again.

“Yes.”

“Yes,” the two of them immediately replied respectfully.

In the study of the Shengyu Palace, the imperial palace of the Baihu Empire.

Xuanyuan Hao stared at Duanmu Xi’s portrait, his black eyes full of anguish. He stroked the woman’s face in the painting gently bit by bit.

Why? Why was she pregnant with Xuanyuan Mo’s baby?

“Argh…” Xuanyuan Hao suddenly turned around to sweep all the things on the table away and then exerted his mysterious Qi to smash the table.

Instantly, the bits of wood were scattered in the study.

He turned around, lifted the painting, pressed the button and entered the secret chamber.

Mei Luo in the secret chamber heard the footsteps. Her ears twitched but she didn’t open her eyes.

Xuanyuan Hao walked to Mei Luo and crouched down. Staring at Mei Luo who had her eyes closed, he cracked a bitter smile, “You know what? She is pregnant. She is carrying Xuanyuan Mo’s baby.”

Hearing that, Mei Luo opened her eyes at once with delight, “What did you say? Xi is pregnant?” Her hoarse voice contained thrill.

Seeing the delight in Mei Luo’s eyes, Xuanyuan Hao instantly pulled a long face and pinched Mei Luo’s chin, saying with a gloomy face, “You’re very happy. It’s fair enough. You’re her third master. She’s pregnant. Of course you’re happy but I’m not. I’m not happy at all.”

After shaking off Mei Luo’s chin, Xuanyuan Hao stood up and shouted with agitation, “Why do you all force me? I don’t want to hurt her. Why do you have to force me?”

Hearing that, Mei Luo stood up and wanted to rush over but she was restrained by the chains on her limbs, “What do you want to do? You can’t hurt Xi!”

Xuanyuan Hao looked at Mei Luo with his eyes wide open, “She made me. I don’t want to but she is pregnant with Xuanyuan Mo’s baby now. I won’t let her give birth to that baby.”

Looking at the nearly crazy Xuanyuan Hao, Mei Luo looked worried, “Don’t be so obsessed. If she belongs with you, she will be with you then; if she doesn’t, you just won’t get her. You can’t force her to love you. Let them go. And let go of yourself too!”

Xuanyuan Hao seemed not to hear Mei Luo’s words and only stared at her, “Rest assured, I’ll take you and her away from Baihu soon.”

Then, he turned around and left the secret chamber.

Staring at Xuanyuan Hao’s back, Mei Luo tried hard to break free from the chains and kept struggling even when her wrists were full of blood. Her dark eyes were full of worry. She hoped that nothing unforeseen would happen to Xi.
