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

Liu Linxi was so immersed in excitement and joy that she didn't think about anything.

Now he finally calmed down and realized the many doubts in this matter.

"How long?" Liu Linxi asked.

"Three and a half months." Chu Yunfeng said.

"When did Your Majesty know?" Liu Linxi asked.

"General Liu, you should talk to your majesty about this matter, and don't make it difficult for me." Chu Yunfeng said.

No matter how courageous Chu Yunfeng is, he still has to take Li Yan's will into consideration.Since the other party said that he wanted to hide Liu Linxi's knowledge, he had to "persevere" even if he was making a gesture, and he couldn't compromise so quickly.

Liu Linxi got up and went to close the door of the palace, and said to Chu Yunfeng: "It's better to be fair, you have kept it from me for so long, shouldn't you also compensate me?"

"What does General Liu mean?" Chu Yunfeng asked.

"You tell me the truth, you know what I know about this matter, His Majesty will not know." Liu Linxi said: "So you don't have to worry about him pursuing you."

Liu Linxi had already thought about it just now, the pregnancy should be something to be happy about, but Li Yan tried his best to hide it from him. The only explanation is that there is no reason to be happy about the consequences of this matter.No matter what the consequences are, he must know so that he can make a decision for himself and the child.

Chu Yunfeng was not very resolute at first, he had expected this day a long time ago, so seeing that Liu Linxi was determined to ask, he didn't insist anymore.

"Your Majesty knew before you were pregnant." Chu Yunfeng said.

"What do you mean?" Liu Linxi asked puzzled.

"This child was created to keep you alive." Chu Yunfeng said.

Liu Linxi was startled, and suddenly remembered that Li Yan had been very intimate with him in a certain period of time after he became poisoned.At that time, he only thought that Li Yan was reluctant to part with him, that he lost control so much.Now that I think about it, it was actually to make him pregnant?

"The reason why my poison can be cured is because of this child?" Liu Linxi asked.

"To be precise, your poison has not been cured." Chu Yunfeng said, "It's just that it has been transferred to the fetus."

Liu Linxi was shocked when he heard the words, and said in disbelief: "You mean this child..."

"Your poison at that time could not be cured, this was the only way." Chu Yunfeng said: "Your Majesty wants you to live, so he made this decision without telling you."

Liu Linxi reached out and touched his lower abdomen, he could almost feel the changes of that little life in his body.He was very happy for this child before, and even imagined what this child who inherited his and Li Yan's blood would look like in the future.

But Chu Yunfeng told him that the only value of this child's existence was to save his life.

"Then what will happen to this child?" Liu Linxi asked.

"If there is no accident, I will cut this child out in a month or two." Chu Yunfeng said: "At that time, the poison on your body has almost been transferred."

Even after two months, the child is only five months old, so it is absolutely impossible for him to survive.

It turned out that in their original plan, they never gave the child a chance to survive.

"Your Majesty... I love you so much, this matter..." Chu Yunfeng sighed, not knowing how to comfort her.

Liu Linxi murmured: "That's when he started copying scriptures in the Buddhist hall?"

"Yes." Chu Yunfeng said.

"I see." Liu Linxi said.

Copying the scriptures and becoming a vegetarian every day, it can be seen that in Li Yan's heart, he felt extremely guilty for doing this.

After all, he personally decides to have a child of his own, so Li Yan's move is undoubtedly killing the child.

Liu Linxi only felt tightness in his chest, and he couldn't breathe.He strode towards the outer hall, and pushed open the door with one hand, the cold wind outside was blowing wrapped in icy snowflakes, and it was instantly cold to the cracks in his bones.He looked at the snow outside who didn't know when it started to fall, but felt a cold heart, which made him shiver all over.

"Are you going to question His Majesty?" Chu Yunfeng asked.

"Why should I ask him?" Liu Linxi closed the door and returned to the hall, and smiled wryly at Chu Yunfeng: "Ask him, why did he do anything to save my life? Or ask him, knowing that doing so will kill his own child, why are you still so cruel?" Did you make this decision with your heart? Or maybe ask him, is he restless if he eats fast and recites Buddha every day?"

What can he ask Li Yan?

He couldn't ask anything!

Li Yan is the child's biological father. He made this decision by himself, and he has to watch over it every day, waiting for the child to gradually go to the abyss. His heart will not be less tormented and sad.How could Liu Linxi have the heart to stab him in the heart when he was so sad?

Liu Linxi held his breath in his chest, feeling bitter and painful, but he couldn't express it.

Why did such a thing happen to him?Why can't he and Li Yan have a good baby!

"Is there no other way?" Liu Linxi looked back at Chu Yunfeng.

Chu Yunfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "If it was in the past, there is really no way. But maybe it was God's will. Last time at Qingyin Temple, General Liu made a mistake to save Shifang's life and helped him cross the blood. Worried that the poison would kill Shifang, I tried many ways to control the poison... Maybe it's been too long, but the poison's toxicity has changed, and it's not the same as it was at the beginning."

Liu Linxi thought of the bruise on the wound on Shifang's chest, and asked, "You did it, didn't you?"

"It can only be said that it has been done for the time being. Just now I said that I am not sure about this matter, not to prevaricate General Liu." Chu Yunfeng said: "Whether Shifang's poison can be controlled, and whether it will backfire in the future, I am really not sure at all. No."

"But it's not like there's no chance at all, right?" Liu Linxi asked.

"The chance... [-]%." Chu Yunfeng said: "Or barely [-]%."

Liu Linxi was overjoyed when he heard the words, and asked, "Twenty percent is enough, what do you want to do, I believe you."

"General Liu thinks highly of me." Chu Yunfeng said, "I haven't said this method yet, so you believe it?"

Liu Linxi originally thought that there was no room for change in this matter, but now that Chu Yunfeng said that there was still a chance, she naturally looked forward to it.Let alone a [-]% certainty, he wants to grasp even a tiny bit of hope.

"Actually, after I came back from Qingyin Temple, I found that the toxicity in your body had weakened, so I changed your prescription privately." Chu Yunfeng said: "I made this up on my own initiative, and I didn't tell His Majesty because I was afraid that he would care too much. You don't agree with me taking risks, and the second reason is that if it doesn't work out in the end, he will be more disappointed."

Liu Linxi suddenly said: "No wonder the taste of the medicine I drank recently has changed a lot."

In fact, not only the soup and medicine in the mouth had changed, Liu Linxi thought about it for a while, only to find that the acupuncture points Chu Yunfeng gave him had changed.

"I didn't dare to advance too aggressively, for fear that my success would fall short, so I only changed the prescription a little bit." Chu Yunfeng said: "But the child is getting bigger and bigger, and now the fetus is moving. If you want to try hard, this medicine needs to be taken stop."

Stopping the drug means that the poison in Liu Linxi's body will not continue to be transferred to the fetus.

But Chu Yunfeng couldn't guarantee what would happen after that.

"What's the worst outcome?" Liu Linxi asked.

"The reflux of the poison in the fetus will cause you to be eaten back by the poison, and both father and son will be damaged." Chu Yunfeng said.

"What about the best result?" Liu Linxi asked.

"I can temporarily control the poison in you and the fetus, and think about it after the fetus is cut out in a few months." Chu Yunfeng said: "If you can wait until that day, there will be very little poison left in your body, and I have [-]% of the poison in your body." Grasping it can save your life. As for the fate of this child, it can only depend on his good fortune."

The hope is slim, but the chance is not impossible.

Looking back on the past few months, Liu Linxi felt that every time he encountered a misfortune, he seemed to be able to turn the bad into good luck.

Maybe he is lucky?

Maybe he won the bet?

"Okay, I'll bet." Liu Linxi said.

"The chance is very small and there are many variables. Your Majesty will not agree." Chu Yunfeng said: "He cares about your life far more than that child's life."

Liu Linxi said: "Then don't let him know."

"He is the king of the country and the father of the child." Chu Yunfeng said.

"But now the child is in my stomach, so I have the final say." Liu Linxi said.

Chu Yunfeng smiled relieved when he heard the words, and said: "Then I will... give up my life to accompany the gentleman."

Once this matter is out of play, Chu Yunfeng can hardly absolve himself of the blame.But he has always been adventurous, especially when it comes to curing diseases and saving lives. He has a natural enthusiasm for finding new ways.He agreed to cooperate with Liu Linxi, not necessarily because he wanted to save people, but because he wanted to see if he could do it.

After all, there are not many chances to encounter such a strange poison in this world.

Chu Yunfeng was not willing to miss it.

The two reached a consensus, and Chu Yunfeng checked Liu Linxi's pulse again.

Liu Linxi's current mood is very delicate, both anxious and curious.

"This child is very strong. He has been poisoned since he was a child, but his pulse is still so strong now." Chu Yunfeng said.

"Can you tell if it's a boy or a girl?" Liu Linxi asked.

Chu Yunfeng said: "Not really, because of the poisoning, the child's pulse is not stable, so it's hard to fathom."

"I hope it's a boy." Liu Linxi said, "If it's a girl, I'd feel so bad after suffering so much."

As Liu Linxi said, he touched his lower abdomen, and his heart softened for a moment.

After Chu Yunfeng had a pulse diagnosis, he said that he wanted to draw up a prescription again, so he resigned.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came from the outer hall.

After a while, Shifang trotted in and stood at the door.

"Can I come in?" Shifang asked.

"Come here." Liu Linxi waved to him.

Shifang ran over and got into Liu Linxi's arms. Liu Linxi reached out and rubbed his cold ears, and said, "Mr. Chu told me that your chest injury often hurts badly, right?"

"Yeah." Shi Fang nodded and said, "But I can bear it."

Liu Linxi said: "Tell me when it hurts, and I will ask Mr. Chu to help you get some pain relief soup."

"Drinking the medicine is too bitter, I would rather be in pain." Shi Fang said, "Master said that all living beings are suffering, and people will suffer continuously when they come to this world. It's so pathetic."

Liu Linxi laughed and said, "Do you miss your master?"

"I think about it, I think about it every day when I meditate." Shi Fang said, "When will I go back?"

Liu Linxi was startled, and asked, "You don't like living in the palace?"

"I like it." Shi Fang said: "There is someone in the palace to play with me, and I can hug you to sleep, so I won't be afraid of the cold anymore, but the masters will miss me."

"Then when do you want to go back?" Liu Linxi asked.

"Let's stay for a few more days." Shi Fang said, "Then I'll come back to see you when the Chinese New Year is next year, okay?"

Liu Linxi was startled, and then realized that Shifang never regarded the imperial palace as his home from the beginning to the end.Although he came back with Liu Linxi and Li Yan, and occasionally called Liu Linxi's father and Li Yan's mother on a whim, but in his heart, this was not his home.

Even Qingyin Temple is not his home in heart.It's just that in his young and broken memory, he vaguely knew that he was abandoned there, so he always subconsciously looked forward to going back, thinking that the person who abandoned him would come to pick him up sooner or later.

But what he didn't know was that no one would pick him up anymore.Zhou Hui died just one street away from him on the night of Shangyuan Festival, while Dong Gui was imprisoned in the sky prison, and he would never come out again in his life.

"Shifang, when you were hit by an arrow, you bled a lot. Mr. Chu wanted to help you take out the arrow, but he was afraid that you would die if you bleed too much, so someone must cross the blood for you." Liu Linxi said: "The whole Qingyin Temple, only mine is suitable for you, but I was poisoned before, so the blood I gave you is also poisonous."

Shi Fang nodded half-understanding, and asked, "Is it something that hurts my wound?"

"Yes." Liu Linxi said: "Mr. Chu wanted to save your life, so he trapped the poison in your wound. In the future, he still needs to give you acupuncture, and you should continue to drink the medicine, so you can't go back to Qingyin Temple for the time being. "

Shi Fang nodded and said, "Oh, so that's the case. Then, will your chest hurt if you are poisoned?"

"Yes." Liu Linxi touched the position of his heart and said, "My heart will hurt a little."

Hearing this, Shi Fang stretched out his hand and squeezed his hand. He himself experienced that kind of severe pain when the toxicity flared up. He thought Liu Linxi was the same as him, so he felt a kind of sympathetic heartache.Liu Linxi was caught off guard by his warmth, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart.

"Shifang." Liu Linxi asked: "Do you still remember that night you had a dream that Mother gave birth to a baby?"

"I remember." Shifang said with a smile, "A baby who looks the same as Daddy."

Liu Linxi said: "If the mother really gave birth to a baby in the future, how about I decide to betroth him to you?"

"What is betrothal?" Shi Fang asked in confusion.

Liu Linxi thought for a while, and said, "That's right, you like him very much, and he likes you too. In the future, you can live together, just like..."

"You are just like your mother," Shi Fang said.

"En." Liu Linxi nodded.

"Then I have to meditate and recite scriptures, so that he likes me." Shi Fang said seriously.

Liu Linxi couldn't help laughing at his appearance, when Li Yan came in from the door with a lot of snow on his body.Su Heng hurriedly helped him sweep the snow, Li Yan couldn't wait to throw his outer robe to him, and went straight into the inner hall.

"What are you two whispering?" Li Yan rubbed his hands together, wanting to touch Liu Linxi, but afraid that his hands would be too cold, so he went to the stove to bake.

Shifang laughed and said, "Daddy said..."

"Shifang, this is our little secret, don't tell him." Liu Linxi said.

Shi Fang nodded when he heard the words, and couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering for a while.

Seeing this, Li Yan became even more curious, walked over to embrace Liu Linxi, and asked, "If you don't tell me, I'm going to be jealous."

Liu Linxi looked at Li Yan, many thoughts in his mind skipped, and he didn't know how to face him for a moment.

"It's so cold, you just came back from the imperial study?" Liu Linxi asked.

"I went to Yi Nian Hall and finished copying today's Buddhist scriptures." Li Yan said.

Liu Linxi's heart ached when he heard the words, and his nose felt sour.

Today he just suddenly found out about this matter, and his heart is already so entangled and painful, and Li Yan has been suffering from this kind of torment every day since more than three months ago.Liu Linxi couldn't imagine what kind of mood Li Yan was in watching her belly grow day by day, but she had to tell herself every day that this child would never come to this world...

"I brought you something interesting today." Li Yan said as he took out a pair of jade horses from his sleeve pockets. The jade horses were small, smaller than Liu Linxi's thumb, but they were carved lifelike. And it uses high-quality white jade, which is very rare in color.

Liu Linxi took a look at it, and said, "This thing is really rare."

"Don't say it's you, I've never seen such a delicately carved jade horse." Li Yan gave the jade horse to Shifang and another to Liu Linxi, and said, "This is Lu Yuzheng. I found it when I led people to Zhang Shilang's house, and I thought it was cute, so I took it away."

Liu Linxi: ...

Is it okay for the majestic king of a country to steal things?

Shi Fang held the jade horse carefully, for fear of breaking it.Liu Linxi asked Su Heng to find a strong silk thread, weave it into a strand, tied the jade horse and hung it around Shifang's neck.Fortunately, the jade horse is small and smooth, so it won't hurt anyone.

"What happened to the bad debts of the household department?" Liu Linxi asked.

"I have already arranged people to deal with the aftermath, but today I have allocated the food and salaries of the Northwest Army with them, and will start to transport it tomorrow. After leaving the warehouse this time and escorting it along the way, I have arranged people from different departments to follow. I don't think there will be any troubles again." Li Yan said.

"That's good." Liu Linxi said.

"You really should go and see it together today. I was surprised by the things that Lu Yuzheng and the others copied from the houses of those corrupt officials in the household department." Li Yan said: "Let's not talk about antiques. The jade horses are just common things in it. The most astonishing thing is that the imperial army sent a team of people to count and transport the money found in their home, but there was not enough. Later, Lu Yuzheng called another team to go , and finally counted the money."

Liu Linxi asked: "How much silver in total?" Liu Linxi asked.

"16 taels." Li Yan said: "The annual tax income of the imperial court is only 30 taels. They have been greedy for so much in the past few years."

"The monthly expenses of ordinary people's households are only one tael of silver, 16 taels, which is enough for many people's lifetime expenses." Liu Linxi said: "They are really courageous enough."

Liu Linxi couldn't help but think of those corrupt officials in the modern society, when they searched at every turn, they would also find tens of millions of dollars in cash.It seems that from ancient times to the present, no matter how serious the consequences are, they cannot stop the greed in people's hearts.

Once you sit in that position and don't control your greed, you may be a little afraid at first, but after a long time, you will become more and more greedy, and it will get out of hand.Fortunately, no matter how many moths there are, there will never be a lack of good officials who are loyal to the emperor and serve the people in the imperial court. This is probably part of the law of nature.

The matter of food and payment was almost settled, and Yu Xingzhi also set a date to return to the northwest.

Before he set off, Liu Linxi went to Yu's mansion as a practice for Yu Xingzhi.

On this day, Liu Xiangwan deliberately asked the Taixue for leave.

In the old house of the Yu family, Liu Linxi, Yu Xingzhi, and Liu Xiangwan sat around a table, each with something on their minds, and the atmosphere during the meeting was very delicate.Liu Xiangwan poured wine for Yu Xingzhi and himself, but he didn't tell Liu Linxi, and he didn't forget to explain: "Brother's body is still poisoned, he should take good care of it, so don't drink the wine."

"Yeah." Liu Linxi smiled and said, "Drinking too much is not good for children."

Liu Xiangwan and Yu Xingzhi stopped drinking halfway through the wine, but Yu Xingzhi was choked and coughed for a long time.

"You know everything?" Yu Xingzhi asked after he recovered.

"It seems that the two of you did know all along, but you and Li Yan hid it from me." Liu Linxi smiled wryly.

Liu Xiangwan glanced at Yu Xingzhi and asked for an explanation. Liu Linxi waved his hand and said, "There's no need to explain. I can make up a lot of reasons for you, and there's nothing new about it."

"Then you came today...to raise a teacher to ask a crime?" Yu Xingzhi asked.

"I'm afraid you won't feel at ease, so let's untie your knot." Liu Linxi said: "Mr. Chu already has an antidote, and the child and I will be fine."

"Really?" Yu Xingzhi asked.

"You have seen Mr. Chu's medical skills before." Liu Linxi said.

Chu Yunfeng did a lot to bring the dead back to life.

Yu Xingzhi believed what he said.

Although the situation in the Northwest is unclear now, since Da Zhou is eyeing the feast, it will be a matter of time before another war begins.Now that Yu Xingzhi has returned to the northwest, he will be in charge of the soil, and he must go to battle to kill the enemy.Liu Linxi came here today not only to explain his matter clearly, but also to ask about him and Liu Xiangwan's affairs on the sidelines, lest the two of them keep silent and leave any regrets in the end to divide Yu Xingzhi's heart.

But when I saw him today, I felt that I was worrying too much.

These two people acted like nothing happened...

"When you get there, be more vigilant. The people of Dazhou are very immoral, and they will use all kinds of indecent methods, so you can't take it lightly." Liu Linxi said.

Yu Xingzhi nodded and said: "Don't worry, we have dealt with them for so many years, we will not underestimate the enemy."

"Send my greetings to the commander-in-chief." Liu Linxi said: "After my child is born, if the war resumes, I will go to the northwest to fight against Da Zhou."

"Okay, it's a deal." Yu Xingzhi said.

After Yu Xingzhi left, Liu Linxi looked forward to the military report from the northwest every day.

Until February [-], there was no news.

After a few more days, the weather gradually became warmer, and Liu Linxi took Shi Fang back to Liu's Mansion for a meal.

Halfway through the meal, he was called back to the palace, saying that the military newspaper from the Northwest had arrived.

"So fast? It's only a few days after February [-]." Liu Linxi was surprised.

General Li Yan handed him the report, and said: "Da Zhou started ahead of time, and in just three days and three battles, the Northwest Army suffered a lot of casualties..."
