The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Nan Wangyu and Lu Lingxi had just finished lunch and were about to leave when they heard a commotion downstairs in the back street.

The box they were in was on the second floor, and the back street was a narrow corridor with a dead end, so no one would normally go there. So any noise would be particularly noticeable.

Lu Lingxi quietly opened the window a little and looked down, and saw five or six teenagers beating up another teenager, who was holding something in his arms.

The teenagers who beat him said as they beat him: "How dare you, a beggar, rob us and feed the bastard with our stuff. Do you think it's dog food? Why are you being so noble? Aren't you just a beggar?"

The others also joined in the fight.

The boy who was beaten protected the things in his arms and whispered in defense: "I am not stealing your things, I am borrowing them. Wait for me...I will return them to you when I find my family."

The young man who beat him sneered: "Ha! Wait until you find your family? You have been looking for two or three months, and your so-called family has not shown up. They must have died a long time ago."

Seeing that the boy was beaten with bruises on his face, but the puppy in his arms was safe and sound, Lu Lingxi couldn't bear it, so she opened the window and shouted, "Stop hitting him, I'm his sister, he owes you, I'll pay you back on his behalf."

After saying that, she reached out to ask Nan Wangyu for money. She never had the habit of carrying money with her when she went out. When Chunhong and Liulv were around, they paid for the bills. When she went out with Nan Wangyu, he was the one who carried the money.

Nan Wangyu was not in a hurry to give her the silver, but advised: "Lingxi, we still don't know who the man who was beaten is and what he did wrong. If he is really a bad person and addicted to stealing, he deserves to be beaten and taught a lesson. Don't interfere."

Lu Lingxi took another look at the beaten boy, then turned around to explain to Nan Wangyu, "Didn't you see that he was protecting the dog in his arms, and he was covered in bruises, but the dog was not hurt at all? And they also said that he stole the food to feed the dog, maybe he was very hungry? He is so kind to small animals, how bad can his character be?"

Nan Wangyu had no choice but to give Lu Lingxi a few taels of silver. Lu Lingxi threw it down from the upstairs and said, "Is this enough?"

Actually, these boys were all doing some work for vendors and bosses in the area to earn a living, but the boy on the ground was good at talking and hardworking, so the bosses nearby liked him very much. Whenever there was work, they would look for him first. They had been holding grudges against him for a long time. Today, the boy on the ground stole their buns for the first time and fed them to the dog he adopted two days ago, so they just wanted to teach him a lesson. So a few taels of silver were enough to compensate for their losses, and seeing that the boy on the ground had someone to back him up, he picked up the silver and ran away.

Seeing that the people who beat him had left, the boy on the ground said to Lu Lingxi upstairs, "Thank you, sister!" and collapsed to the ground. The puppy in his arms was no longer restrained, jumped off him, licked his hand, and licked his face, as if he was very worried about him.

When Lu Lingxi saw the young man fainted, she hurried downstairs and went around from the front street to the back street corridor. She came to the young man and felt his breath. Fortunately, he was not dead, but just fainted. Only then did she feel relieved.

He turned around and discussed with Nan Wangyu who was following behind him: "Let's take him back to the mansion and take care of him."

Nan Wangyu refused instinctively: "No, not just anyone can enter the Prince's Mansion. We don't know his background."

Lu Lingxi begged: "Look how pitiful he is, and the puppy didn't leave him even after he fainted. It must be because he treats it very well. How can such a kind person be a bad person?"

Nan Wangyu wanted to ask Lu Lingxi: "Why do you pick up everything when you go out?"

Later, I thought about it carefully. It was because Lingxi was kind-hearted and loved to pick up people and animals from home that she saved my life. I shouldn't blame her for this or change her. As for this person's background, I will secretly send someone to investigate and keep an eye on her at all times.

So they agreed to Lu Lingxi's request. The two asked the guards to carry the fainted boy back to the Prince's Mansion.

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Doctor Chu carefully took the boy's pulse and checked his external injuries. He then replied, "The boy's external injuries are not serious. They are just some skin injuries. His bones and tendons are fine. He may have fainted because he has not eaten for a long time. Give him some porridge, and he will wake up after a while." As he spoke, he took out a bamboo stick with a depression in the middle and no nodes.

"Then I will prescribe some prescriptions for him to replenish his qi and blood. He will be fully recovered after taking a few doses." Doctor Chu added after showing the bamboo strips.

Lu Lingxi thought, isn't this hypoglycemia? Giving him sugar water might help him recover faster. So he suggested to Dr. Chu, "Would it be easier for him to swallow sugar water than porridge while he's unconscious?"

Doctor Chu said, "That makes some sense. But after he wakes up, he should drink porridge for a few days first, and the amount should not be too much, increase it day by day, and don't eat too much fish or meat, or overeat."

Lu Lingxi nodded, "I've got it." Then he asked Liu Lu, "Did you remember it?"

Liu Lu also nodded, and Doctor Chu left with peace of mind.

Before the boy woke up, Jiang Wen came to report: "Your Highness, Crown Prince, Crown Princess, His Highness and Princess Qi are here. They said they are here to send gifts for the Dragon Boat Festival. I have already led them to the reception room."

Nan Wangyu stood up and pulled Lu Lingxi, saying, "The Crown Princess and I will be there soon."

When Nan Wangyu and Lu Lingxi stepped into the living room, they saw Nan Jingye leisurely admiring the furnishings in the hall. The slight sound of footsteps made him turn around slowly. The moment their eyes met, he raised a smile and said to Nan Wangyu teasingly: "Royal brother, look at the furnishings in your hall, they are too simple! It's so simple that it makes people feel a little shabby. How can such simple things be worthy of your noble status and face as the crown prince of a country?"

Hearing this, Nan Wangyu's expression did not change, and he just responded calmly: "The Prince's Mansion is naturally not comparable to the Qi Wang Mansion. After all, my royal brother has always been generous and generous. He gave me 500 taels of gold without even blinking an eye. As your elder brother, I really don't have anything to give you in return, so I won't be polite with you."

The smile on Nan Jingye's face disappeared instantly. How could he have offered to give the five hundred taels of gold? If blinking worked, he would be willing to blink five million times. However, no matter how dissatisfied he was at this moment, he had to endure it and said with a fake smile: "As long as my brother likes it, it's good. As a younger brother, I should show my filial piety to you."

The two of them exchanged a few words with each other, but Nan Jingye couldn't get the upper hand, so he returned home in disappointment.

Lu Lingxi and Gu Ying'er watched the whole show without saying a word.
