At that time.
Professor Tan's home.
After Sivir and Tu Mianmian left the Royal Hospital, the dean hurried over with the nurse robot.
When they came in, Professor Tan was completely immersed in the world of cases, and he didn't seem to notice their visit.
It was only when Professor Tan turned the pages of the ancient notes to the back that he caught a glimpse of the dean and his party from the corner of the eye.
He didn't have the heart to greet, and waved to the dean and his party: "Come here."
Old Professor Tan pointed to an ancient book on the table in front of him, and said, "All of you have a look at this."
"What?" The dean sat down beside Professor Tan, "Have you found the case yet?"
Several nurse robots also came to the side, and surrounded the table full of precious paper books.
"I found it." Old Professor Tan nodded, and adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Of course I found it."
If you can't find it, you may be dropped by His Royal Highness the Dark Shark.
There was an open book in front of Old Professor Tan, and the paper started to turn yellow due to the passage of time.
On the opened page of the ancient book, there are ancient characters that ordinary people cannot understand, and there are also drawings of the body structure. This is the common text of the civilization era before stepping into the stars.
Professor Tan's optical brain was turned on, and it displayed the results of the inspection data and scanned images of Tu Mianmian just now.
"Look here, the body structure is almost the same." Professor Tan compared the ancient book with the optical brain image, "Also here, the translated data is very similar to the situation of the Duchess."
The dean also understands ancient characters, and there is no obstacle in discussing and communicating with Professor Tan. The two chattered for a while, then fell silent.
After a while, the conversation sounded again. Old Professor Tan looked at a certain page in the Guji Handbook, showing hesitation.
He turned his head to look at the image of the body scanned by the photo brain, and then looked at the ancient handwriting.
Look at the optical brain image, and then look at the ancient handwriting.
And so on and on.
Then, Professor Tan imported the data from the Guji Handbook into the optical brain, and compared it with Tu Mianmian's inspection data.
Then compare and compare again.
After several tosses, Old Professor Tan finally breathed a sigh of relief. The result is 100% certain.
He breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, glanced at the face of the sluggish dean and the nurse robot next to him, and said word by word: "The black shadow in the duchess' abdomen is..."
"-Gestational sac."
Old Professor Tan's voice fell.
There are moments all around! the silence.
Gestational sac.
According to the ancient notes, this is the place where the males of the Raphael family gave birth to new lives.
New... life...
"Ah!!!" The nurse robots suddenly burst into screams! One even nearly crashed and collapsed.
The dean, who was in a daze, seemed to be awakened by this sharp scream, he stood up abruptly, and took a sharp breath.
Immediately, he felt dizzy for a while because he got up too violently, and he quickly grabbed the arm of a nurse robot beside him to ensure that he didn't fall down.
"This, this..." The dean closed his eyes. His breathing was disturbed, and his heartbeat seemed to miss a few beats.
Old Professor Tan beside him took off his glasses, wiped the blurred lenses with a handkerchief, and there were faint tears in the corners of his eyes: "It seems that I have to believe the fact that the Duchess is pregnant."
Old Professor Tan smiled in relief.
He shook his head and murmured, "It's unbelievable."
The empire's fertility conundrum has puzzled researchers for years.
The natural fertility rate is zero because the long-lived interstellar people do not want to have children.
When the material and spiritual needs are highly satisfied and the quality of the people is generally improved, the troublesome matter of childbirth seems to become insignificant.
The birth rate of technological means is zero because people refuse to donate sperm and eggs.
Life that is not a combination of the two, but is cultivated by extracting genes or other means, is regarded as a clone by citizens, which arouses public outrage and is boycotted by the whole country.
Going around and around, under the troubles of various problems, the fertility rate is very difficult, and there has been no improvement or progress in the past ten years.
Unexpectedly, on such an ordinary day, things took a major turning point.
Old Professor Tan silently leaned against the corner to reminisce about the past, already in tears. He is old and can withstand strong winds and waves, and his current performance is still stable.
But the dean can't do it.
After the dean was dizzy and pleasantly surprised, he no longer knew whether to laugh happily or cry with emotion.
He wept with joy, pulled the nurse robot beside him and said, "Quick! Quick! Call Your Royal Highness!"
"Contact His Highness the Duke, let the Duke take his wife to the Royal Hospital!" The dean rushed out in a hurry, and returned halfway through the rush to drag Old Professor Tan up.
He was so happy that his legs went their separate ways, his excitement seemed to be that his wife was pregnant, "I-I want to repeat the pregnancy sac inspection in front of His Royal Highness! I must tell His Highness the good news! !"
Repeating the inspection is to make His Royal Highness believe in this incredible good news! Evidence of interest.
It is also used as a final determination.
There have been many misdiagnosed pregnancy oolongs in the empire. After repeated disappointments, endless loss and sadness ushered in.
Only this time.
No deviation! -
In the duke's mansion.
The Duke pushed the little girl down on the bed, and after kissing him, he picked up the emergency call.
After finishing the call in a few words, Xivir rushed to the Royal Hospital with Tu Mianmian.
As soon as he arrived, Tu Mianmian was surrounded by extremely excited nurse robots and entered the examination room, as cautiously as if he were a fragile and precious glass doll.
This inspection was different from every previous one.
The relevant data recorded in the Raphael family's ancient notebooks have all been imported into the medical database.
In addition, several instruments were transferred from the Rafael Research Institute under the name of Old Professor Tan, disassembled and reorganized with the medical instruments of the Royal Hospital, and merged into new instruments for more physical examination.
The inspection data was quickly sent from the equipment to the optical brain terminal of Professor Tan Lao. Old Professor Tan stared at the data with fixed eyebrows, his eyes were full of emotions, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Sivir stared at him: "..."
Butler Anderson rushed to the hospital when he realized something was wrong: "..."
Judy, the maid who was ordered to bring a plate of custard buns to the Duchess as a snack: "..."
Seeing that Professor Tan's expression became more and more serious. All three of them have their own ideas.
Regarding the matter of Tu Mianmian's illness, His Excellency Duke's patience is not very strong.
His emerald green eyes stared at old Professor Tan right, and said slowly, "Is the condition very difficult?"
"Ah." Old Professor Tan woke up like a dream, put down the data results, looked up at His Royal Highness the Duke and others in front of him, and shook his head with a serious face: "No."
Immediately, he frowned and said kindly, "The Duchess is pregnant."
"The dark shadow on the duchess' abdomen is a gestational sac. After reorganizing the medical machine, we further found signs of life activity in the gestational sac." Professor Tan Lao explained.
"Before the Duchess said that she felt her belly moving, maybe..." He said kindly with a gratified face, "Maybe this is the way His Royal Highness the Little Duke is using him to greet the world and inform him of his existence."
"Congratulations, Your Highness the Duke." Old Professor Tan showed a kind smile to the Duke.
Sivir: "…"
Old Professor Tan: "..."
Old Professor Tan: "?"
Professor Tan's kindness! Xiang smiled for several seconds, but the person in front of him didn't respond at all.
He looked at Sivir suspiciously, then at Butler Anderson and Judy who looked like sculptures. I probably guessed their mood, so I repeated it again.
"The Duchess is indeed pregnant."
Tu Mianmian is really pregnant.
It's not an intractable disease, it's not a terminal disease, and it's not a misdiagnosis.
yes,
Really pregnant.
With a "snap", the dinner plate in Judy's hand lost strength and fell to the ground, and the sound of shattering woke everyone up. Immediately beside her, a cleaning robot came over to clean.
Sivir blinked his eyes, and his emerald green eyes faded away from the mist, and became condensed again.
As if he didn't hear clearly, he asked again: "What?"
Old Professor Tan smiled narrowly and told him patiently: "Your Highness, the Duchess is pregnant."
Sivir: "…"
Sivir lowered her eyes slightly.
Judy couldn't wait any longer, she stepped forward and asked, "Then, the lady is pregnant, what, what..."
Judy hurriedly took small steps on the spot, and Butler Anderson helped to continue: "Are there any things that need to be prepared?"
Old Professor Tan looked behind him, and Tu Mianmian was still in the examination room.
He adjusted his glasses, stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, and began to tell Judy some matters that need attention during pregnancy.
He repeated many things back and forth, repeating them no less than three times, just to give Judy time to react, deepen the impression and remember clearly.
No one dared to dislike the old professor's long-windedness, I'm afraid he didn't talk enough.
Zhu Di was writing furiously on the memo of the optical brain, touching the screen with her fingers so fast that afterimages almost appeared, and at the same time applied to turn on the recording device, just to record Professor Tan's exhortations without missing a single symbol.
There has been no new life in the empire for 20 years. The news of the duchess' pregnancy is like a shocking easter egg. Not to mention how old Professor Tan is feeling when he personally checked the result. In short, Judy and Butler Anderson are trembling with excitement .
Judy and Mr. Butler were deeply agitated and trembling in their souls, and they were both dizzy and overwhelmed as if they lacked oxygen.
And the duke's mind seemed to be run over by a warship, there was a rumbling noise in his mind, and the result of Tu Mianmian's diagnosis of pregnancy was constantly looping in his ears like a repeater.
Sivir's face was full of condensed silence, and he stared straight at the old professor, as if he was also listening carefully.
But Mr. Housekeeper, who knew him well, saw through Sivir's blank mind at a glance.
Mr. Housekeeper was also very excited at this moment, his heart was beating like a drum, and he reached out to pat Sivir's arm. His hands trembled as if he had Parkinson's disease, and his tongue seemed to be tied, "Duke, Diandian, Your Highness! You, you, you first..."
Butler Anderson took a deep breath before straightening his tongue, "Go ahead to the examination room and get Madam out!"
Hearing these words, Sivir was like a clockwork machine. He walked towards the examination room, just in time to see Tu Mianmian coming out of it.
The moment she saw Tu Mianmian, Sivir's tense nerves suddenly relaxed.
He opened his hands and embraced the picture in his arms.
Tu Mianmian: "?"
Tu Mianmian was frightened by Lord Duke's reaction, he was shocked, "I won't really be terminally ill?!"
A hug before dying
"No." Sivir's voice was a little hoarse. He hugged Tu Mianmian even tighter, and put his chin on Tu Mianmian's shoulder.
Tu Mianmian: "...?"
Tu Mianmian was at a loss: "Then what's wrong with me?"
Tu Mianmian, the client, is probably the one who is most confused about the situation under the current circumstances.
Sivir closed her eyes, and when she spoke, a voice rang in Tu Mianmian's ear: "You... are pregnant."
Tu Mianmian: "..."
It's like losing my nerves, I can't feel my breath jpg
Tu slumped out of the Duke's embrace, and sat down on the chair next to him, with a confused look on his face.
Tu Mianmian: I#%&*$#…
Everyone didn't make a sound to disturb, let Tu Mianmian digest the heavy news quietly.
Sivir sat down beside Tu Mianmian and held his hand.
After a long while, Tu Mianmian came back to his senses, he had a disbelieving expression on his face: "I can actually give birth to cubs!"
He is a male rabbit!
Your Excellency the Duke: "..."
Sivir explained the gestational sac to him in a low voice, and Tu Mianmian suddenly realized.
Seeing that the Duchess had almost digested the pregnancy, Old Professor Tan adjusted his glasses and dropped another bombshell:
"While the Duchess's pregnancy is something to be happy about, another matter cannot be neglected—"
"The laws of the empire stipulate that citizens who conceive a new life have the right to choose whether to give birth. Regardless of whether to give birth or not, the empire supports your decision."
"I don't know if the Duchess wants to keep this child?" Old Professor Tan looked at Tu Mianmian and said seriously, "If you don't want to keep it, you can arrange an abortion in a few days."
Tu Mianmian was taken aback when he heard the words.
