Chapter 457 Prenatal Fear, But Misplaced

***********

......

A few days after the ceremony, Lan had a routine medical check-up and found out she was pregnant.

Because the royal family has health management regulations, all new insect emperors and queens must undergo a comprehensive physical examination.

As soon as Lan stepped out of the medical pod, he saw that the medical officer's expression was extremely serious.

blue:"?"

Lan: "What's wrong?"

The medical officer took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, haven't you felt unwell lately?"

blue:"?"

Lan: "No?"

The medical officer took another deep breath and pointed to a piece of data on the screen: "Your Majesty, your body is very healthy; it's just that there have been some changes in your hormone levels and energy field."

"Huh?" Lan was taken aback.

The medical officer could no longer contain himself, a wide smile spreading across his face: "The scan shows a new life energy characteristic in your body. Progesterone levels are high. Although it's still very early and the characteristic is very weak, it's undeniable that the Empire's new crown prince has been born in your womb!"

Before Lan could react, the door to the examination room was gently pushed open.

Gao Tian walked in: "Baby, how were your test results? Are you still not finished with the tests?"

The queen and king insects undergo separate physical examinations.

Gao Tian has finished his physical examination, but Lan hasn't come out yet, so he came over to check if something has happened.

The medical officer smiled broadly, but did not try to take credit or report the achievement himself.

Such news must be told to the Insect King by the Insect Queen herself, because if they were to speak out of turn, they might inadvertently offend their superiors.

Lan looked at Gao Tian as he walked in, took a deep breath, and said, "Gao Tian, I have some news to tell you."

Gao Tian: "?"

Gao Tian: "Why are you so serious?"

Lan: "Because I have something very serious to tell you, but don't be afraid."

Gao Tian: "?"

Gao Tian: "We have received professional training, we are not afraid."

Gao Tian: "Baby, I'm really a little scared of you right now."

Could it be that they've been diagnosed with some kind of illness?

No no no no no spit ...

What a jinx!

Lan took another deep breath: "I'm pregnant."

Gao Tian: "Come on..." He froze. "What?"

The medical officer chimed in, "Your Majesty, this is truly a joyous occasion! Her Majesty the Queen is pregnant!"

Gao Tian stopped in his tracks.

He blinked.

It seemed like they hadn't heard clearly.

It's as if the brain can no longer process this information.

It is known that this is his baby.

His baby is pregnant...

Stuffing eggs...

Egg......

—Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!

Egg--!!!!

It's a little bug!!!

Their little bugs are here!!!

Holy crap!!! Has this incredible stroke of luck finally come my way?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Shock, elation, disbelief, and a whole host of other emotions exploded in his mind like a shower of flowers.

Gao Tian staggered to Lan's side... his legs went weak.

With a "thump!", he knelt down!

The medical officer was startled and took a step back.

Gao Tian wanted to touch their baby but didn't dare to move. He looked helplessly at Lan's still flat stomach, then looked up at Lan's face: "Really?! Baby, little one... little bug?!"

Lan seemed to still be processing the news, his expression somewhat complicated, but seeing the Crown Princess... no, his Insect Emperor, so utterly pathetic.

Jun Enhao snorted through his nose, "Really."

Overwhelmed with joy, Gao Tian was so happy he almost didn't know what to do. He just wanted to pick up the little butterflies and spin them around, but he was afraid of disturbing their little insects.

Family members!!!

I've envied Lu Jianan for so long!!!

It's finally my turn!!!

Ψ(●°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ ཅ °̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥●)Ψ

In the end, he just carefully hugged their baby worm's leg and started to sob.

Waaaaah, it's a little pathetic of me, but I really can't help it.

Lan also snapped out of her daze, looked at Gao Tian's pathetic state, let Gao Tian hug her leg, and smugly hummed.

The Emperor of this Universe is the most awesome.

Crown Princess... no, my new Insect Emperor is truly useless; he can't even get pregnant.

But seeing the Crown Princess... no, his new Insect Emperor crying like this, he felt a little soft-hearted. He patted Gao Tian's head and said, "Now you know how powerful the invincible super emperor of the universe is, right? No need for formalities, rise!"

He was fine when he didn't speak, but when he did, Gao Tian cried even harder, burying his face in his arms and sobbing uncontrollably.

It's such wonderful news, it's almost unbelievable.

A baby, a fusion of their bloodlines, was born unexpectedly.

The Emperor of the Universe had no other choice but to gently stroke the head of Takagi, who was crying and buried in his belly, and say, "Hmm."

Go ahead and cry, you seem to have caught the crybaby Bishen's crybaby habit, my dear.

......

She never got pregnant during her previous heat cycles, but this time she got pregnant even though she wasn't in heat.

Judging by the dates, it's probably because those days in beast form were just too intense.

Then a new problem arose.

Lan was fine during her pregnancy, but Gao Tian developed severe prenatal phobia and was extremely anxious.

She would snuggle into the baby bug's arms whenever she had free time.

He was huge, so tall and strong, and when he snuggled into Lan's arms, Lan's vision was completely blocked and she couldn't see anything.

The newly appointed insect queen, busy with official duties, completely missed the documents on her desk: "..."

It's just so frustrating.

I really want to beat him up.

Is this the proper procedure? He noticed that in other families, the husband is usually the one raising the children.

Later, it evolved into the new insect king trying to prevent the new insect queen from being busy with official duties.

Lan is really busy.

Imperial administration gradually returned to normal, involving handling official business, presiding over meetings, and conducting necessary inspections...

Apart from strict dietary control and the prohibition of some high-intensity activities, life is not much different from before pregnancy.

At first, Gao Tian was just paying extra attention to Lan's diet and daily life, repeatedly asking the medical officer about precautions, which was normal. But soon, things started to go astray.

When Lan spends too much time reviewing official documents, Gao Tian starts to worry about things like radiation and fatigue, and tries to confiscate his electronic tablet.

The Cosmic Emperor, about to review the report on the budget for the development of the new star system: "..."

With the new empire newly established and so many things to deal with, Lan was extremely annoyed by him.

Lan's voice remained relatively calm, but it carried a hint of restraint: "I'll count to three, then put the data panel back."

Then Gao Tian hugged him.

The entire insect was trapped inside Gao Tian's pectoral muscles.

A muffled, slightly anxious voice came from above: "Baby, I'm a little panicked..."

"...Why are you panicking?" Lan tried to reason with her. "I'm just pregnant, okay?"

"I don't know either." Gao Tian hugged her tighter, sobbing, "What if... what if something unexpected happens? You're so thin... and you have so many documents to read, won't you get tired? I just saw on the news that there's a new type of space radiation that might affect pregnant women. We probably don't have it here, but what if? Electronic products also emit radiation that can affect pregnant women..."

He began to rattle off anxiously a list of all sorts of terrible possibilities that he had read about from somewhere or that he had imagined, and the more he talked, the more he felt like the sky was falling.

Waaaaaah, getting pregnant is so hard! Waaaaah...

Lan stared at the wall of flesh before her, a wall of despair.

Although he looked very handsome, the vein on his forehead couldn't help but twitch.

He took a deep breath and told himself to stay calm and not get angry.

Gao Tian is just experiencing prenatal anxiety, it's perfectly normal, very normal...

Normal my foot! She's a superior female insect! Radiation? What's that?! Superior female insects go to the cosmic battlefield the same way when they're carrying eggs!

Lan took another deep breath, telling herself to stay calm and not act impulsively.

Gao Tian is like this because she loves him so much; most people can't even imagine experiencing prenatal fear...

Blue remained expressionless, trying to reason with him again: "Get out of the way. It's just a few pages of official documents; I won't get tired of it. My current body is strong enough to punch you flat, and we Zerg don't have anything like radiation."

Bishen's eggs were removed a few days ago; it was very simple.

Bishen's egg has been with him through thick and thin on the battlefield since it was a chick, and even went up to slash Orion before it hatched. His egg is definitely not inferior to Bishen's!

Don't start talking about pregnancy preservation and fetal health just because you're pregnant, okay?

The dead bug was lost.

Even that crybaby from the Shen family wasn't scared to this extent by Gao Tian!

Gao Tian remained unmoved, pouting as he pressed his head against the top of his head: "You promise?"

Lan, unable to bear it any longer, finally raised her hand and lightly grabbed Gao Tian's ear: "Get up! Now! Immediately! Say one more word, and we're sleeping in separate rooms tonight!"

The threat of sleeping in separate rooms worked.

Gao Tian has been on edge lately, and every night he would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, then carefully check Lan's breathing to make sure he was safe and sound before he could fall asleep again.

Gao Tian stiffened, and finally, reluctantly and slowly loosened their baby a little bit, his face still showing a bit of grievance and lingering fear, his eyes wet as he looked at Lan.

"Eek..."

"Shut up." Lan pushed him away impatiently, regaining her sight and the right to breathe fresh air. "Sit down next to me! If you keep bothering me while I'm working, it won't be as simple as sleeping in separate rooms."

Gao Tian let out another pitiful whimper.

There's no way out, there's really no way out.

Lan had no choice but to put aside the official documents and take a moment to sit with him in the office, telling him what it meant to be truly energetic and in excellent health.

The female insect has no health problems during pregnancy. As long as she can take the time to supplement her partner's hormones, both the eggs and the male insect will thrive.

......

After sitting in the high sky, he finally calmed down a bit and stopped trying to disturb the new queen insect's busy work. He just had to move a chair next to him, put an arm around his waist, and stubbornly stay by his side. Only then could he feel at ease.

The new queen insect had no other choice but to let him be.

His face was still a little red, but he sat up straight with determination, trying to concentrate on his official duties.

Fine, fine. As long as Gao Tian doesn't interfere with his official duties, let him sit here if he insists. It won't make a difference.

Truly, truly a bewitching concubine!

All my anger has subsided, and now all that's left is helplessness and a slight urge to laugh.

Gao Daji! She's a master of coquetry!

......

The Zerg's reproduction method is different from that of humans. The Zerg eggs only need to be gestated in the female's body for three months to mature. Then they can be cut out and placed in a special nutrient solution to continue hatching for the next few months.

The insect eggs will continue to grow in the nutrient solution, growing from less than the size of a fist to the size of an ostrich egg.

External gestation greatly reduces the burden on female insects and avoids many risks that may occur during internal incubation and production, making it the greatest evolution in the history of the insectoid race, bar none.

The three-month-old insect eggs are very small, and the insectoid cesarean section is very simple, with basically no danger, and can be completed in five minutes.

Three months have passed, and it's time for the insect eggs to hatch.

Lan was about to enter the operating room, but the atmosphere outside the operating room where the insect eggs were being removed was anything but simple and fast.

Gao Tian's legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up outside the operating room.

Like a sack that had lost its support, he hung almost entirely on the cold wall of the corridor. His face was deathly pale, his forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat, his lips trembled, and he gripped the blue operating table tightly.

Lan watched him cling to the edge of the portable hospital bed, refusing to let go, and said speechlessly, "I'm just getting an egg removed, it's not a big deal, is it really that big of a deal?"

Gao Tian's eyes welled up with tears: "As for... baby, are you scared? Does it hurt? Do you want me to come in with you? I promise I won't cause any trouble..."

"It's alright, Your Majesty the Insect King," the royal medical officer beside him tried to calm him down.

This is the fifth time: "Egg removal is a minor surgery, very mature, with no risks. Your Majesty is in excellent physical condition and it will be over in ten minutes."

Gao Tian seemed not to hear, or perhaps he heard but his brain couldn't process it; he still wouldn't let go, a sob escaping his throat.

"Don't cry." Lan ruthlessly interrupted his tough guy's tears. "Wait outside quietly. It's only five minutes. Don't embarrass me."

They made it sound like a life-or-death situation just because it only takes five minutes to retrieve an egg.

After saying that, she was calmly wheeled into the operating room by the medical officer, without even glancing at Gao Tian again.

The door closed, and the operating light came on.

Gao Tian felt his legs go even weaker at that moment.

He was losing control of his legs; his knees would bend uncontrollably from time to time, and he could only barely keep standing by bracing himself against the wall with his hands.

Waaaaaah, baby...

Even if it's a minor procedure, it's still an open abdominal surgery.

What if their baby has an allergic reaction to the anesthesia? What if there's a mistake during the procedure? What if Lan is particularly sensitive to pain and feels uncomfortable? What if their baby is scared inside and wants to find them? ...

Gao Tian couldn't stop his mind from wandering.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. His stomach churned, and he almost vomited.

He quickly took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but he inhaled too quickly and choked, coughing until tears welled up in his eyes.

It's so tragic, I just want to burst into tears.

He's starting to understand Lu Jianan a little better now.

A man doesn't easily shed tears, unless he's truly heartbroken!

Lu Jianan and Bi Shen also came to keep them company.

They've been sitting quietly in the waiting area since just now.

Gao Tian reacted so strongly that Lu Jianan opened her mouth to laugh at him, but her older brother knocked her on the head.

"Big brother?" Lu Jianan asked, feeling wronged.

Bishen smacked him on the head again.

When he took the insect eggs, Lu Jianan was also very scared, but she didn't react as strongly as Gao Tian.
