After falsely claiming to be pregnant, the whole court came to claim it

Li Yan guessed the right direction, but after leaving the palace, Yu Xingzhi did not go to Liu's house, but directly went to Taixue.

To inquire about Liu Linxi's situation, it is obviously more reliable to find Liu Xiangwan than to find the second elder of the Liu family.

Liu Xiangwan was a little surprised when he heard that someone came looking for him, but he didn't realize it until he saw Yu Xingzhi.

Yu Xingzhi just came from the palace, wearing a military uniform, standing in the imperial school full of literati youths, he was very eye-catching.Most of the people didn't know his identity, but seeing his handsome appearance and outstanding temperament, they couldn't help guessing.

"Brother Yu?" Liu Xiangwan was quite surprised after seeing Yu Xing, but there was also a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"I haven't seen you in a few years, and I've grown so big." Yu Xingzhi stretched out his hand to rub Liu Xiangwan's head, but thinking that the other party was no longer a child, it was a little inappropriate to do this under the eyes of everyone. He patted Xiang Wan on the shoulder.

Yu Xingzhi met Liu Xiangwan a few years ago. At that time, Liu Xiangwan looked like a young boy, but now he has grown up, and his childishness has faded away, to the point where he is quite a scholar.

"Did you just return to Beijing?" Liu Xiangwan asked.

"Well, I just came out of the palace to report on my work today. I heard that you entered the Imperial Academy, so I came to see you." Yu Xingzhi said.

Liu Xiangwan smiled when he heard this, came out side by side with him, and asked, "Have you ever met my brother?"

"I haven't had a chance to meet him yet." Yu Xingzhi said, "Come with me to the teahouse in front of me. I happen to have a lot of things I want to ask you."

Liu Xiangwan nodded when he heard the words, asked someone to bring a message to the master of Taixue, and accompanied Yu Xingzhi to the teahouse.

"Your brother entered the palace quite suddenly. When the news spread to the northwest, I always found it hard to believe. With his temperament, he is used to galloping in the northwest, how could he suddenly decide to stay in the palace?" Yu Xingzhi asked .

Liu Xiangwan said: "Brother's thoughts, Brother Yu can ask him himself when he sees him, Xiang Wan doesn't know."

"I was negligent. You and him didn't get along very well since we were young. You've never talked to him about anything. He seldom talks to you." Yu Xingzhi laughed and said, "It's okay, I'll ask him some other day. That's right."

Liu Xiangwan has a calm temperament since he was a child, and he has never been able to play with his unruly elder brother. In addition, the two are several years apart in age, and they have nothing in common.When he was young, Liu Xiangwan was a lover all day long, while his elder brother liked to fight crickets and dig bird's nests. When he was older, Liu Xiangwan entered school, and his elder brother went to the northwest, so the two of them had no chance to get along.

On the contrary, Yu Xingzhi, although he has only met Liu Xiangwan a few times, his conversation and temperament are more likely to chat with Liu Xiangwan.Liu Xiangwan once wondered, how could Yu Xingzhi, with such a gentle and refined personality, become close friends with his brother?

"How is your brother doing in the palace recently?" Yu Xingzhi asked.

"Your Majesty treats my elder brother with great love, and my elder brother also admires your majesty." Liu Xiangwan said.

Yu Xingzhi was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Your Majesty is still young, and I heard that he has a rather sharp temperament. Your brother has always been unruly, but it is difficult for him to get along well with Your Majesty."

"Brother's temperament has changed a lot, and now we can get along well with me, let alone His Majesty." Liu Xiangwan said: "If Brother Yu is worried, just go to the palace to see him. Your Majesty is not strict with Brother Yu. , entering and exiting the palace is very casual."

Yu Xingzhi couldn't figure out Li Yan's mind before, he was afraid that his mention of Liu Linxi would arouse his suspicion, so he kept avoiding it.Now after listening to Liu Xiangwan's words, I realized that I seemed to be thinking a little too much, but he has always been cautious, so he would naturally think about everything.

"How are you studying at Taixue? Are you still used to it?" Yu Xingzhi asked.

"It's all about reading, but there's nothing I'm not used to. In Taixue, the master's lectures are deeper, and there are more exchanges between classmates." Liu Xiangwan said.

Yu Xingzhi nodded and said: "You will accompany me to the post station in a while, and I brought some books over for you."

"Did you bring it from the northwest?" Liu Xiangwan asked in surprise.

"Well, they are all miscellaneous books that I usually collect over there. After I read them once or twice, no one else wants to read them. It's a pity to leave them dusty, so I thought of giving them to you. It can be regarded as making the best use of everything." Xingzhi smiled.

Liu Xiangwan was very happy when he heard the words, and said towards Yu Xingzhi: "In this world, only brother Yu knows Xiangwan best."

Yu Xingzhi was startled when he heard the words, bowed his head and smiled, but didn't answer.

Liu Xiangwan looked at him with an undisguised smile on the corner of his mouth.

After nightfall, he followed Yu Xingzhi's secret guards to report the results to Li Yan. Li Yan was quite surprised when he heard this.

"After Yu Xingzhi left the palace, he has been staying with Liu Xiangwan until now?" Li Yan asked.

"Yes, they went to the teahouse to drink tea, and then went to the post station to pick up a lot of books. General Yu personally sent the books to the Taixue for Mr. Liu Ergong, and then the two went to Zhenweilou for lunch... After wandering around the capital for a long time, I ate wontons on the street in the evening, and went to the theater to read the script after nightfall..." Anwei Yihui reported.

"What script are you reading?" Li Yan asked.

"It's an old story from a long time ago. It's the story of General Liu and His Majesty." An Wei said.

Li Yan was startled, he didn't expect that script is still being performed to this day.

"How did General Yu react when he read the script?" Li Yan asked.

"General Yu and Second Young Master Liu were chatting and laughing, and they were very happy to watch." Anwei said.

Li Yan: ...

This is awkward.

It turned out that Yu Xingzhi really had no other personal affair with Liu Linxi, but he was probing and looking for someone to follow him, which seemed a bit stingy.Fortunately, Liu Linxi didn't know about this, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing.

"Tomorrow, there will be a banquet at Jiyue Residence. Please go to the palace with General Yu and Young Master Liu for the banquet." Li Yan instructed Su Heng.

Since Yu Xingzhi was open and frank, Li Yan had to be more or less magnanimous.

Liu Linxi was very happy to learn that Yu Xingzhi had entered Beijing.Although Yu Xingzhi is a friend of the original owner, Liu Linxi has the memory of the original owner, so he is quite kind to Xingzhi.

"I appreciate the general's calm behavior. Now that the Northwest has won a great victory, there are not many more people stationed in the garrison than him, and there are not many people without him, so I intend to let him stay in the capital. What do you think?" That night, Li Yan Ask Liu Linxi.

Liu Linxi sat on the couch with a hand stove surrounded by a thin blanket, thought for a moment and said: "Among the young generals of the Northwest Army, except for the minister, the general is the most capable, and even in terms of strategy, he is even better than the minister. .Although the fighting has slowed down, the northwest is still not too peaceful after all. I don’t think you should be in a hurry to stay in the capital.”

"As long as the war doesn't resume, it doesn't matter." Li Yan said.

"If the war really repeats again, I can go back to the northwest..." Liu Linxi said.

Li Yan frowned and said, "How can you go back to the northwest with your body like this?"

"Mr. Chu's medical skills are superb, and within three months, I will be back to normal." Liu Linxi said: "Your Majesty will not think that after being raised in the palace these days, I don't know how to fight, right?"

Li Yan laughed and said: "Don't say it's unlucky, the war in the northwest has just stopped, and you and I are here thinking about when to start the war again."

"Yes, I made a slip of the tongue." Liu Linxi laughed hurriedly, "When will General Yu and Xiang Wan enter the palace tomorrow?"

Li Yan looked up at him and said, "Why, General Liu can't wait?"

"Your Majesty and General Yu haven't seen each other for several months, so I miss you a little. Your Majesty doesn't know how to eat, does he?" Liu Linxi laughed.

Liu Linxi was warm all over while holding the hand stove, his cheeks were slightly red, making his handsome face even more attractive.Li Yan was a little guilty when he heard him teasing him, so he simply stepped forward and threw the person down/under him, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if I eat, isn't General Liu always aware of my temper?"

"Then when the general enters the palace tomorrow, how about I hide behind the curtain?" Liu Linxi joked.

"You become more eloquent when you are healthy, do you really think that I dare not teach you a lesson?" After Li Yan said that, he leaned over and kissed Liu Linxi hard.A moment later, his eyes fell on Liu Linxi's fair neck, and suddenly he had a thought, and he simply sucked it hard there, leaving a very obvious red mark.

Before lunch on the second day, Yu Xingzhi and Liu Xiangwan entered the palace together.

Liu Linxi specially washed and washed today, and changed into a sky-blue robe. He looked very energetic. If you don't distinguish carefully, you really can't see that there are still residual poisons on his body.

"In the past few months after returning to Beijing, I have grown a little flesh, not so thin." Yu Xingzhi looked at Liu Linxi for a moment and said.

"Brother Yu, this is a joke. I don't want to make progress, lack of exercise, right?" Liu Linxi laughed.

Yu Xingzhi said: "I'm quite envious. I also want to learn how you don't want to make progress these days when you come to Beijing."

Apart from the memory of the original owner, this was the first time Liu Linxi saw Xingzhi, but he didn't feel any strangeness.It is probably because Yu Xingzhi's temperament is too peaceful, and he always feels like a spring breeze when getting along, so it is easy to get closer.This also explained why Liu Xiangwan was alienated from the original owner, but was able to be so close to the original owner's colleagues.

At the banquet, Li Yan exchanged greetings with Yu Xingzhi and praised his achievements in the northwest.

Yu Xingzhi has always been neither humble nor overbearing, and behaved very decently.

During the period, when Liu Linxi served Yu Xingzhi with soup, the skirt of his clothes was pulled slightly, revealing the red marks on his neck.Yu Xingzhi's gaze fell on that place and he couldn't help but hesitate, then he smiled lightly, Li Yan saw his expression in his eyes, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"I see that you have a good appetite, but your blood energy seems to be insufficient. I don't know why?" Yu Xingzhi asked Liu Linxi.

"I fell ill a few days ago, but after recuperation, it's no longer a serious problem." Liu Linxi said.

The old prince and Taifu were involved in the poisoning incident, naturally Liu Linxi would not mention it to Xingzhi, so as not to cause complications.

Yu Xingzhi frowned when he heard the words, and said, "Let me take a pulse."

Liu Linxi laughed and said, "I forgot that you still have this ability."

When Yu Xingzhi was in the army, he liked to read miscellaneous books, he knew a lot, and he also did some research on medical skills.Before that, he thought that the doctors in the army were not skilled enough, so he often gave advice, and sometimes he would personally treat and treat injuries for the sons and daughters in the army. His medical skills may not be as good as those of the doctors in the army, but they are no worse than the doctors in the army.

Liu Linxi raised his hand to get Yu Xingzhi's pulse, Li Yan was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly said: "General Yu is good at medicine?"

"The minister is not superb, but when he was in the army, he often diagnosed General Liu's pulse and treated his injuries." Yu Xingzhi said.

Liu Linxi didn't know Li Yan's scruples, and thought that even the imperial physician might not be able to diagnose her poisoning, and Yu Xingzhi probably didn't have that ability either.And he was also quite curious, wanting to see how well Yu Xingzhi's medical skills were. If he was diagnosed, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to prevaricate a few words.

Yu Xingzhi reached out to catch Liu Linxi's pulse.

Li Yan looked nervous and looked at Liu Linxi with a guilty conscience.

I saw that Yu Xingzhi's complexion changed several times, sometimes he was puzzled, sometimes surprised, he seemed to be quite entangled.

"Why, what kind of extraordinary pulse did you diagnose?" Liu Linxi laughed.

"General Liu's pulse..." Yu Xingzhi seemed to be hesitant.

Seeing this, Liu Xiangwan said, "Brother Yu is the one who leads the army to fight, and it's just a whim to diagnose my brother's pulse. Could it really steal the limelight from the imperial doctors? From Xiangwan's point of view, he dare not speak easily , for fear of compromising my reputation as the No.1 doctor in Northwest China."

"Hahahaha." Liu Linxi laughed out loud.

Yu Xingzhi's expression softened, he let go of Liu Linxi's wrist and said, "Your brother can see through my little thoughts."

Yu Xingzhi joked a few words and didn't comment on Liu Linxi's pulse. Li Yan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, and cast a grateful look at Liu Xiangwan.Liu Xiangwan smiled faintly, turned his head and glanced at Liu Linxi, thoughtful.

After lunch, Li Yan specially called Chu Yunfeng to the imperial study, and told him what happened today.

"Your Majesty, don't be too nervous. General Liu is less than two months pregnant. Although General Yu has some medical skills, he may not be able to diagnose it. Besides, since he didn't expose it face to face, he probably has some sense of propriety." Chu Yunfeng said.

Li Yan said thoughtfully after hearing the words: "Yu Xingzhi has been in the northwest for many years, maybe he has some insights into the poisons of the Western Regions. If you have a chance in the future, you can discuss it with him."

"Your Majesty doesn't trust the medical skills of the grassroots?" Chu Yunfeng said.

"I just... Forget it, it's okay, you go down first." Li Yan waved his hand wearily, and sent Chu Yunfeng away.

After coming out of the palace, Yu Xingzhi kept frowning deeply.

Liu Xiangwan knew that he must have diagnosed something, so he asked, "Is there something wrong with my brother's body?"

"Xiang Wan, why did you stop me just now?" Yu Xingzhi asked.

"I saw that His Majesty looked nervous. He seemed to be afraid that you might find out something. If you expose it on the spot, you might cause trouble." Liu Xiangwan said.

He had always known about Liu Linxi's poisoning, so his first reaction was that Yu Xingzhi diagnosed the poison in Liu Linxi's body.This matter was quite secretive, since Li Yan didn't want others to know, it would be inappropriate for Yu Xingzhi to tell the truth face to face, so he stopped it.

Moreover, although Li Yan never mentioned the details of Liu Linxi's poisoning to Liu Xiangwan afterwards, seeing Liu Linxi's body recovering day by day, Liu Xiangwan guessed that the poison was probably cured, so naturally he would not ask rashly.

"I also noticed His Majesty's nervousness, so I was very confused." Yu Xingzhi said, "Your brother is Ximai."

"Happy pulse?" Liu Xiangwan said in surprise, "Is your brother pregnant?"

"Yes." Yu Xingzhi said: "I don't quite understand, this is a happy event, why is Your Majesty afraid of my diagnosis?"

"This matter...couldn't my brother not know about it?" Liu Xiangwan said.

Yu Xingzhi thought for a moment, nodded and said: "That's even more strange, why did your majesty hide it from your brother?"

Liu Xiangwan thought for a moment, and was a little confused for a while, but this matter was obviously not normal.

Soon after, it entered the twelfth lunar month.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Yan set up porridge sheds in many places in the capital to serve Laba porridge.

Liu Linxi was already bored enough in the palace, so she invited her out of the palace today to give porridge.Li Yan was not at ease, but he couldn't bear to disappoint Liu Linxi, so he sent Liu Yi to follow and protect with half of the hidden guards, and sent a team of imperial guards to follow, so he was relieved.

Liu Linxi thought about going to see Liu Xiangwan, so he went straight to the porridge shed outside Taixue, but Yu Xingzhi was also there.

"Brother is here too. In such a cold day, be careful not to catch a cold." Liu Xiangwan gave Liu Linxi a hand stove, fearing that he might get windy, and asked him to stay in a shelter from the wind.

Liu Linxi said helplessly: "I'm not a pretty girl, why are you so careful?"

"I'm afraid my brother will be tired." Liu Xiangwan said.

"I'm a general after all, so what's the point of giving me porridge." Liu Linxi laughed.

Liu Xiangwan smiled when he heard the words, and then exchanged a look with Yu Xingzhi who was beside him.

Obviously, Liu Linxi didn't know that she was pregnant.

"It's been cold recently, brother, don't be careless. Several students in the Taixue have already caught the wind and cold." Liu Xiangwan took a cloak and put it on Liu Linxi, tied it carefully, and said: "Brother If there is any illness, His Majesty will also worry about it."

Liu Linxi obediently asked Liu Xiangwan to fasten his cloak. At this moment, a senior student passed by the two of them, and suddenly staggered and fell towards them.Liu Linxi quickly supported the other party with his eyes and hands, but saw that the other party was pale, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead, as if he was ill.

"Wu Wenju?" Liu Xiangwan supported him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I... feel uncomfortable..." The student named Wu Wenju coughed a few times, as if he couldn't breathe.

Seeing this, Liu Linxi immediately sent someone to send him to the hospital.

"The wind and cold seem to be more serious this year." Liu Xiangwan stood beside Liu Linxi, helping out with porridge while looking at the people who lined up to receive the porridge.In the crowd, some people coughed from time to time, and some of them looked not very well. Their condition looked quite similar to that of Wu Wenju who had just fallen ill.

Liu Linxi frowned, and asked, "You said that many of you Taixue have caught the cold?"

"Yes..." Liu Xiangwan couldn't help being taken aback when he asked him, the two looked at each other and realized something.

Yu Xingzhi on the side heard the conversation between the two, raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd in line in front of him, and suddenly thought of something, his expression changed accordingly.

"General Yu..." Liu Linxi said.

"I'll take someone to the clinic immediately." Without waiting for Liu Linxi to open his mouth, he said, "Xiang Wan, take good care of your brother. I'll be back soon."

Yu Xingzhi borrowed a horse from the imperial army, got on the horse and ran quickly to the medical center closest to Taixue.

In less than a stick of incense, he came back in a hurry, pulled Liu Xiangwan and said: "You guessed right, take your brother home first, both of you change into clean clothes and take a shower, don't go out for now .”

"What about you?" Liu Xiangwan asked.

"I'll look for you soon." Yu Xingzhi looked at Liu Linxi and said, "You have to pass a message to the guards, someone needs to help me."

Liu Linxi glanced at the people in front of him, and said, "It doesn't matter whether we go back at this time or not, just now that Wu Wenju fell into the arms of me and Xiang Wan, and Xiang Wan stayed in Taixue for so long... "

"Brother, your body..." Liu Xiangwan pulled Liu Linxi and whispered.

"Your brother and I have clashed with Lord Yan, and our fate is very hard." Liu Linxi smiled at him, turned to look at a guard of the imperial army, and said, "Choose twenty capable people to come in with me, and I will I have something to tell you to do, remember not to say anything."

After finishing speaking, he said to Liu Xiangwan: "Go to Taixue to find an empty room, first borrow it and use it."

"Liu Yi!" Liu Linxi yelled, Liu Yi flew down from the roof, startling everyone, Liu Linxi ordered in a low voice: "Go find someone to send a message to Lu Yuzheng, and ask him to block you." Palace gate, all those who left the palace today are not allowed to go back. When you see him, put on a veil, don't get too close, and come back after you finish talking, don't enter the palace."

"Yes." Liu Dao said, "If Commander Lu presses the question, how should the subordinates answer?"

"Just say..." Liu Linxi lowered his voice and said, "There is an epidemic in the capital, let him protect His Majesty."
