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

All this happened so fast that no one had time to react.

Even the man who vomited blood was stunned, and when he was picked up by Yu Xingyi, he forgot to struggle.

In an instant, several dark guards gathered quickly and surrounded Liu Linxi.

Two of them had already pulled out the sabers around their waists, and it seemed that the person before that was about to splatter blood on the spot.

"Don't draw the knife!" Liu Linxi hurriedly said, "Let me make it clear to them..."

However, the people on the side were already out of control, and when they saw the dark guard drew his sword, they became more and more angry.

Liu Linxi wanted to stabilize the scene, but he was firmly guarded by several hidden guards, and his voice could not cover the common people, so he gave up after shouting in vain.

People from the imperial army and the patrol battalion came one after another, trying to maintain the situation, but they did not dare to attack the people until they were ordered.

At this moment, the person restrained by Yu Xingzhi suddenly began to pant violently, and then his body began to convulse with astonishing strength.After Yu Xingzhi couldn't hold on to him and had to let go, the man fell to the ground and struggled for a while with his hands on his chest, then spat out another mouthful of blood, rolled his eyes, and fell silent.

The rioting crowd fell into a brief silence, and everyone's eyes fell on that person.

"Is it dead?"

"I vomited so much blood..."

"It must be dead!"

Someone in the crowd whispered, because it was too quiet, the fear and anxiety in their voices were exposed, making the atmosphere of the scene even more creepy.

Yu Xingzhi was the closest to the man, he took a look at Liu Linxi, leaned over and touched the man's neck.Everyone held their breath and looked at Yu Xingzhi, and they saw that Yu Xingzhi's brows were deeply furrowed with doubts on his face.

"How?" Liu Linxi asked.

"Alive." Yu Xingzhi said.

As soon as his words fell, the crowd present all heaved a sigh of relief.

"Carry him to the hospital." Liu Linxi said.

As soon as he finished speaking, people from the patrol battalion immediately carried the man away.

"We're going to the hospital too."

Someone in the crowd yelled.

The fear brought to the people by this scene just now has not dissipated. When they heard that they were going to the hospital, they rushed towards the hospital as if they had grasped the last straw.People from the Patrol Battalion and the Guards stood in a row trying to block them, but the people were so excited that they were about to make a move.

"Calm down, flooding in like this will not only make it impossible to see a doctor, but will only make the hospital messy." Liu Linxi shouted.

"If we don't go to the hospital, we will be like him sooner or later!"

"I don't want to die, I want to see a doctor."

"Don't stop us! Get out of the way."

The people flocked to the medical hall one after another, and the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion were forced to retreat step by step, as the line of defense was about to be breached.If they are allowed to continue like this, not only will the order of the hospital be completely out of control, but many people who are not infected will also be at risk of being infected.

Yu Xingzhi and Liu Linxi exchanged glances, and Liu Linxi suddenly drew a long knife from the waist of the imperial guard next to him, and put it on the necks of the leading civilians.With a little force on his hand, the blade drew a bloodstain on the commoner's neck.

"What are you doing?" the man screamed in terror.

"Kill one to warn others." Liu Linxi said coldly.

Liu Linxi is usually lazy, and always gives people a very gentle feeling, but now his body is covered with the blood of the previous person, holding a knife in his hand and slashing at the person's neck, his eyes are sharp, and he has quite recovered. A bit of decisive momentum.

Seeing this, the people finally became much quieter. Looking at the knife in Liu Linxi's hand, they did not dare to act rashly anymore.

"When General Liu kills people on the battlefield, he won't even blink his eyes." Yu Xingzhi said from the side: "But you are the common people, not the enemy army, otherwise your head can still be honest at this moment." Stay on the neck?"

Everyone didn't dare to vent their anger, obviously they were overwhelmed.

Yu Xingzhi said again: "I asked you to go to the school to wait, not to abandon you, but to let you settle there temporarily, and then there will naturally be doctors who will come to treat you. You have also seen the situation in the medical center with your own eyes. Swarming in will only make the situation worse."

On the other side was Liu Linxi holding a knife with a stern expression on his face, and on this side was Yu Xingzhi's kind words of persuasion, and the scene finally calmed down a lot for the time being.

"But if we go to the school...wouldn't it really burn us to death?" Some people boldly asked.

"The man was so sick just now, is someone going to burn him to death?" Yu Xingzhi said: "Besides, all of you are still alive and well, and many of you may not be infected at all. I told you not to gather here for the time being. You good-looking people were infected with the epidemic in this medical center, how wronged are you?"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the crowd looked at each other, and some couldn't help but raised their hands to cover their mouths and noses.

"If you feel wronged by going to the academy, there are still some vacant rooms in our academy." Liu Xiangwan suddenly walked out from the crowd, followed by dozens of students dressed as literati, "However, there are a few patients in our academy who are sick. Students who are heavier may have a greater chance of being infected if they stay there."

"Forget it, let's go to the next school." Someone said.

"That's right, this school is closer to the medical hall." Another echoed.

Liu Xiangwan's gaze stayed on Liu Linxi for a moment, and he frowned when he saw the blood on his body.Liu Linxi threw the knife in his hand to the imperial army, looked at Liu Xiangwan and the students behind him, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Tai Xue has already suspended classes, and everyone is afraid of going home and passing on the epidemic to their families, so they don't plan to go back." Liu Xiangwan said: "I guess there might be something that can help here, so I'll come and have a look. They volunteered to help."

Liu Linxi frowned, and originally wanted to drive them all back, after all, the medical clinic is the most dangerous place now, and these students are the most outstanding talents in the entire Great Banquet Kingdom, and they will all be expected to become famous in the future.It would be a pity if a few were damaged due to the epidemic.

But he thought about it again, if the epidemic cannot be contained, they will not escape after all.

Thinking of this, he said: "Wear all face masks, don't directly contact with the infected people, protect yourself."

Everyone is busy.

At the same time, Yu Xingzhi directed the people in the patrol camp to transfer the people with milder conditions outside the medical hall and in the medical hall to a nearby school.Liu Linxi arranged for Taixue students to be responsible for registering the conditions of these common people, separating those who already had symptoms from those who looked healthy, and those who were seriously ill were sent directly to the backyard of the hospital.

"There are dozens of large and small medical clinics in the capital. After a while, you can choose some literate people from the patrol battalion and the forbidden army. It is best to be careful and teach them all the registration methods. Let them Go to other medical centers and schools to register in the same way." Liu Linxi said to Liu Xiangwan.

Liu Xiangwan hurriedly nodded in agreement.

After Yu Xingzhi was finished, he glanced at Liu Linxi and said, "You have to go back and take a hot bath and change into clean clothes. This blood stain will bring the epidemic wherever it goes. It's too dangerous."

"What's the matter with the blood on my brother?" Liu Xiangwan asked.

"Someone vomited." Liu Linxi took off his outer robe casually, wrapped the bloody side inside, and said, "It's okay, the blood only got on the clothes, it's nothing serious."

Yu Xingzhi said to Liu Linxi: "It's such a cold day, if you get sick from the cold, it will be troublesome. Go back and change your clothes and take a shower. Xiang Wan is here to help me. You don't have to worry about it for now."

"It's not that I'm worried." Liu Linxi laughed.

He doesn't know where to go now...

It is impossible to go back to the palace, and it is not very good to go back to Liu's house. If he is already infected, it will be troublesome.Seeing his hesitation, Yu Xingzhi immediately understood, and said, "Go to my old house. When I came back, I asked someone to take care of it. It's okay to barely live in it."

Liu Linxi didn't refuse after hearing the words, and Zuo Zuo didn't have a better choice now.

After sending Liu Linxi away, the people in the medical hall soon settled down.Yu Xingzhi led Liu Xiangwan to start with the medical records in the medical clinic, and began to sort out the earliest patients, as well as the progress and characteristics of each person's illness.

"I didn't expect you to have such a tacit understanding with my brother." Liu Xiangwan said casually while writing down.

Yu Xingzhi smiled and said: "One sings the bad face and the other sings the /red/face, our old drama. It's a pity you haven't seen us on the battlefield, that's called a tacit understanding."

Liu Xiangwan glanced at him sideways and said, "Then do you think he has changed when we meet again?"

"Some." Yu Xingzhi said: "If it were the same as before, with his reckless temperament, today that person's head would fall to the ground with a single knife, and he would not show mercy."

Liu Xiangwan paused and asked, "When my brother was in the northwest, did he like to kill people?"

"It can't be said that I like killing people." Yu Xingzhi said: "Staying in that kind of place for a long time is inevitable. Every time you go to the battlefield, either you die or I die. If it were you, would you kill or be killed? "

"What about you?" Liu Xiangwan asked.

"I'm not that bloody. Your brother is slightly better than me in this matter." Yu Xingzhi said.

Liu Xiangwan raised his eyebrows, and instead of continuing to discuss this topic, he pointed to a page on the medical record and said, "The first three patients all came to the hospital on the same day, and their symptoms were exactly the same. look here."

"They're all symptoms of wind-cold, just like what I thought." Yu Xingzhi said.

"But that person vomited blood today, is this a symptom of wind and cold?" Liu Xiangwan asked.

"The epidemic has obviously entered the lungs, otherwise I wouldn't be coughing up blood." Yu Xingzhi said: "From tomorrow onwards, we need to wear an extra layer of facial scarves, and we need to replace them with new ones every two hours. Talk to the infected person Don’t get too close when you’re in the hospital, and… don’t touch your face with your hands that touched the medical case, wash your hands a few times after you go back, and iron your clothes with hot water.”

"Okay." Liu Xiangwan said: "I'll sort out what you said, and let everyone post notices in all medical centers, schools, and alleyways later."

Yu Xingzhi nodded and sighed heavily.

When the two of them were reviewing and arranging the medical records, a clerk from the medical clinic rushed in and said something to Yu Xingzhi.Yu Xingzhi glanced at Liu Xiangwan, and the two got up and went to the backyard with his buddy.The second shopkeeper of the medical hall was waiting for the door, saw Yu Xingzhi coming in, and led him into a side room.

After the two entered the door, they couldn't help being startled, and saw several bamboo beds in the side room, some of which were covered with white cloth, and there were corpses under the white cloth.Yu Xingzhi quickly counted, and there were seven corpses in total.

"When did it happen? Why didn't you say it before?" Yu Xingzhi asked.

"Just when the general was stalemate with the people outside." The second treasurer said.

Yu Xingzhi stepped forward, twisted a corner of the white cloth between his fingers, and saw that the person who had attacked Liu Linxi before was lying inside.

"When I felt his pulse back then, he wasn't dead yet, so fast?" Yu Xingzhi said.

"I don't know what's going on. In the morning, it was just a symptom of wind and cold. Within an hour or two, it suddenly got worse, and it didn't improve after taking medicine." The second shopkeeper said: "The seven people suddenly became irritable. Then he coughed up blood and fell into a coma, and he was out of breath after a while."

Liu Xiangwan asked: "Are these seven people the first to get sick?"

"Yes." The second shopkeeper said: "Six of them all came on the same day, and there was one who was probably more able to bear it. It came a day later than the others, but the symptoms were the same as the others."

Liu Xiangwan frowned, stepped forward and lifted the white cloths from the other six corpses one by one, then his face darkened, and he said to Yu Xingzhi, "Two of them are students of Taixue, I've seen them before."

"Sick at the same time, die at the same time." Yu Xingzhi said: "General Liu is right, the source of this epidemic must be investigated. Xiangwan, I will call a few people for you, and you arrange them to go to all the doctors. The hospital sorted out the medical records according to your method, and we need to find all the first batch of people who were infected."

"Okay." Liu Xiangwan nodded.

"I'm going to investigate all the people who have been in contact with them, so that the second batch of infected people can be found soon." Yu Xingzhi said.

If the time from infection to death of this epidemic is fixed, then maybe a second group of people will die soon.And according to the law of all epidemic infections, the second batch of infected people will usually double, and the more infected people will be in the future...

When Liu Linxi arrived at Yu Xingzhi's old house, he realized that it was no exaggeration for Yu Xingzhi to say that the place could barely accommodate people.The whole house is empty, only an old handyman is in charge, there are neither servants nor maids.

Liu Linxi wanted to take a bath without hot water, and couldn't bear to ask the old handyman to burn it, so he asked him to find Yu Xingzhi's old clothes to change into, and told him not to go out for a few days, and try not to greet him at home He, so as not to live with him if he is already sick.

After changing clothes, the old handyman cooked a bowl of noodles for Liu Linxi.Liu Linxi has been eating a lot lately, and he feels hungry at every turn. Now a bowl of noodles suddenly comes to him, which is like a timely help.

Unexpectedly, before he finished his noodles, the old handyman came to report that there were guests at the house.

Before Liu Linxi could speak, the guest came in by himself, but it was Chu Yunfeng.

"Why did you leave the palace?" Liu Linxi asked in surprise.

"If I don't leave the palace, that person will come out and take you back." Chu Yunfeng said.

Liu Linxi was taken aback, and asked, "Is Your Majesty okay?"

"The gates of the palace have been sealed by you, what could be wrong?" Chu Yunfeng said, "It's just that I lost half my soul."

"It happened so suddenly, I have no other choice, I can only do this in a hurry." Liu Linxi said.

"What you have done is thorough enough." Chu Yunfeng said, "I went to the medical clinic to see Yu Xingzhi, and I also saw the pulse case..."

"How?" Liu Linxi asked.

"It's time, it's time for you to get the needle." Chu Yunfeng opened his medicine box, went to the couch and set up the silver needles. Seeing this, Liu Linxi obediently took off his shirt and went over.

There wasn't even a charcoal basin lit in this room, Liu Linxi shivered from the cold naked, and sneezed twice in succession unexpectedly.Liu Linxi covered her nose and looked at Chu Yunfeng with a nervous expression, but Chu Yunfeng was calm and didn't take it seriously.

"If I contract the disease, will it be dangerous for you to inject me like this?" Liu Linxi asked.

"It's hard to say." Chu Yunfeng said: "But if I don't give you the needle, you will definitely be in danger."

"When will the poison in my body be cured after being injected with an needle?" Liu Linxi asked.

"It's hard to say, two or three months." Chu Yunfeng said.

Liu Linxi looked down and saw that Chu Yunfeng had a needle in his lower abdomen, and said, "I'm so appetized by your needle. I've been eating more and more recently, and I feel like I'm getting fat."

"It's freezing cold. Only by eating fat can you have the strength to live." Chu Yunfeng said.

Chu Yunfeng always looked old-fashioned at such a young age, and Liu Linxi is used to it now.But Chu Yunfeng looked a little different today. Although his words were still not very friendly, they talked a lot more than before, which was a bit abnormal.

"You said just now that you went to see the pulse record in the medical clinic, what happened afterwards?" Liu Linxi asked.

The strength in Chu Yunfeng's hand froze, and he didn't answer. He didn't speak until all the needles were pierced, and said, "Many people will probably die in the capital this time."

"Dead?" Liu Linxi was startled, and asked, "Is it so serious?"

"Didn't you see the person who coughed up blood?" Chu Yunfeng said.

"He..." Liu Linxi hesitated.

"He died after you left." Chu Yunfeng said.

Liu Linxi sat on the couch blankly, unable to react for a while.He thought that this epidemic might be more difficult due to its fierceness, but he didn't expect that people would start dying so soon.

"Can you... speculate that there might be..." Liu Linxi asked after deliberation.

"It's not difficult." Chu Yunfeng said: "In the medical center you went to, there were seven people who were infected in the first batch. They became ill eight days ago. On the second day after they became ill, there were nearly 600 patients in this medical center. Twenty patients, about [-] on the third day... As of today, there are nearly [-] people who have been recorded, and you have seen some who have not been recorded. You should be able to see it at the general's side tonight. Sort it out."

There are more than 20 medical clinics in the whole capital. If they all have this number, Liu Linxi hardly dares to think about it...

"It took eight days from being sick to dying." Chu Yunfeng said: "That is to say, if there are no accidents, after seven days, the total number of deaths due to the epidemic will exceed 1."

1 people, what will this mean for the entire capital and even the entire banquet?

What does it mean to Li Yan, the emperor, and the people of the whole city?

"If you didn't do these things today, and two or three days later, the number will be too big for you to imagine." Chu Yunfeng said: "Even so, we have done everything we can, and the final number will be far away. more than that number."

"Is there no other way?" Liu Linxi asked.

"Of course." Chu Yunfeng said: "Find a medicine that can cure the epidemic."
