The man was smiling faintly as if nothing had changed. However, he was truly astonished when he heard her reply, as clearly displayed by his profound eyes that suddenly widened.
Additionally, he shifted his vision from her face to her abdomen. His speechless expression, trying to stare through her abdomen, greatly pleased Helian Wei Wei.
“Isn’t it miraculous?” The smile on Helian Wei Wei’s lips grew.
Unexpectedly and shockingly, Baili Jia Jue suddenly bent down and carried her up.
In a blink of an eye, everyone looked away from the bloodstains in the Great Hall to both of them.
Even the Retired Emperor did not expect the cold brat to do this suddenly. He frowned and said, “Ah Jue, what are you doing? Please behave in Great Hall. Put Wei Wei down now.”
“She’s pregnant.” When the words fell, it was as if a bomb was dropped, causing the Great Hall to be completely filled with surprised gasps.
The Retired Emperor widened his eyes and stood up from his seat in shock. The wisdom in his voice suddenly vanished as he yelled, “What did you say? Wait a minute! Cold brat, you’d better come back and say it clearly!”
Baili Jia Jue simply ignored the noise behind him and carried Helian Wei Wei away. In a flash, he disappeared instantly and emerged a few meters away.
All the ministers were stunned and froze in their spots, with their mouth ajar.
The Retired Emperor pulled Eunuch Sun over and asked hurriedly, “Did you hear the cold brat just now? Did he just say Wei Wei is pregnant?”
Eunuch Sun was slightly stunned at the beginning as well. However, he recovered immediately when pulled and kept nodding, saying, “Retired Emperor, you heard it right. It’s true that Third Princess Consort is pregnant.”
“Hahaha! Wonderful! Wonderful!” The Retired Emperor said repeatedly. Unable to contain the overflowing joy on his face, he said, “These two kids hide this important matter from me, they are really… Tell me, he’s going to be a father soon, why does he still lack understanding for others.”
Eunuch Sun reacted swiftly and kneeled on the ground after listening to the Retired Emperor’s words. Beaming, he said, “Congratulations to Retired Emperor, congratulations! Our War Dragon Dynasty is going to have little prince!”
The ministers had an epiphany after listening to Eunuch Sun. Then, they quickly bent over and kneeled on the ground. The voice of congratulations echoed thunderously throughout the Great Hall.
Princess Consort was pregnant, this was an extremely joyous occasion for the entire War Dragon Dynasty.
All of the ministers were absolutely beaming, looking at each other and endlessly congratulating the Retired Emperor.
Blood was still flowing from Li Zhixiong’s wound. When he heard the furor around him, all blood instantly drained from his already ashen pale face.
So, Third Princess Consort was already pregnant.
So… what they had done were actually a slap at their faces.
In stark contrast to their evil intentions, she appeared very kind-hearted. Not only would Helian Wei Wei not lose her position, but the Retired Emperor would also most probably recognize her as his only daughter-in-law from now on.
Even if he talked his head off, the Retired Emperor would definitely not forgive him again.
As expected, the Retired Emperor glanced at him disdainfully and asked, “No news of pregnancy? I don’t want to hear this kind of words anymore!” Then, he commanded Eunuch Sun, “Give out my order, the members of Li and Wu families would be treated as ordinary people and can’t enjoy the benefits of a centennial family anymore. As for the person Li Zhixiong, lock him up and behead him after autumn. Take note and don’t his bloody stench disturb my royal great-grandson.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Eunuch Sun answered successively. He always performed his duties meticulously.
Li Zhixiong had assumed that the worst scenario would be on the Third Prince’s bad side, even though he actually punished them this time.
Thus, he had to make sure that the prince married concubines.
However, he never thought that other than the Third Prince’s ruthless methods, the Third Princess Consort was actually pregnant.
Everything changed too fast. As Li Zhixiong listened to the Retired Emperor’s words, he felt a pang of regret, itching to give himself two slaps in the face.

He would surely die. This time, he was really screwed.
Not only him, but the entire Li family would meet their end…
…
Helian Wei Wei was being carried in Baili Jia Jue’s arm outside the hall. Inevitably, she could not move freely. So, she continued to ask, “Oh yeah, do you prefer a boy or a girl?”
Baili Jia Jue’s train of thought was still paused in her previous answer.
Humans were very vulnerable, especially when a woman was pregnant. Hence, extra precaution and attention would be needed in a lot of matters.
As he fed her some chestnuts just now, he wondered if there would be any adverse effects.
Furthermore, he did not understand children at all.
Are they like Little Seven, who only knows how to eat?
He’s a devil, though.
Devil has always been emotionless.
Even though he seemed like humans on the surface and adopted humans’ elegance and manners, he was viciously cold deep down his bone.
Only this woman in his arms could stir his emotions in the entire world.
As for the one in her womb… it better behaves.
Helian Wei Wei noticed that he was not answering her, so she pulled his hand and placed it on her abdomen, saying, “The baby is moving actively in my abdomen. Feel it.”
After listening to Helian Wei Wei’s words, Baili Jia Jue let her sit on his own long legs, before seating himself inside the ancient pavilion. He leaned sideways and pressed his ear against Helian Wei Wei’s abdomen. However, he did not feel any movement after listening to it for some time. He pursed his lips and asked it, “Aren’t you gonna move?”
Helian Wei Wei also wondered why it was quiet now, even though it was very active before this, saying, “Perhaps the kid fell asleep.”
Fell asleep?
Baili Jia Jue kept silent but the smile at the corner of his lips turned evil.
Devils did not need rest at all, even the concept of sleeping did not exist for them.
In his opinion, it had eaten too much.
The little devil required a huge supply of dark Qi for nourishment every day, especially since the little devil had just formed
No wonder the royal palace had become very clean.
There was no need for Fire Qilin to continue his investigation anymore because the root of all these troubles was right here.
“What’s happening?” Without knowing the reason, Helian Wei Wei felt that His Highness’ facial expression was quite peculiar.
Baili Jia Jue moved his hands gently and spoke cheerfully, saying, “Nothing. I just think that it’s necessary to educate him on the correct dining manners.”
After it was conceived, it immediately scared away all the dead souls in the imperial palace. It’s really dumb.
As he was thinking, Baili Jia Jue placed his large hand onto Helian Wei Wei’s abdomen again…
However, a force kicked at his palm ferociously, as if to retort his words.
“The kid isn’t born yet, how can you teach him dining manners? Wait a minute, he moved. He really moved!” Helian Wei Wei was pleasantly surprised, her smile was exceptionally gentle as she asked, “Did you sense that?”
