The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Chapter 21 Settling the Little Dog

Lu Lingxi held the two puppies in his arms and returned to the carriage. He did not linger any longer and got on the carriage and hurried home.

The Crown Prince, who had been watching Lu Lingxi's movements from a distance, chuckled after hearing the servant's report about Lu Lingxi near the woods. He thought, "I didn't expect my fiancée to be so kind-hearted." The Crown Prince came here today for Lu Lingxi, and now that Lu Lingxi had left, he went back home.

Lu Lingxi returned to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion and ran into Lu Yi as soon as he entered the door. He was shocked to see Lu Lingxi covered in blood. He walked a few steps quickly and came to Lu Lingxi and asked, "Lingxi, what happened to you? Are you injured? There is so much blood on your body?"

"Daddy, don't worry, this blood is not mine, it belongs to the mother of these two little guys in my arms." He showed Lu Yi the two little puppies in his arms.

"What's going on? Why did you bring back two such small dogs? Where is your brother? Why didn't he come back with him?" Lu Yi asked anxiously.

"Brother went to buy your favorite roast goose. I saw that the two puppies were too weak, so I hurried back. Can you ask Doctor Wang to come and help me take care of them and deal with their umbilical cords. The matter of the puppies is a long story. Can I let brother explain it to you later?" Lu Lingxi was only thinking about taking good care of the two little guys in his hands, and he spoke a little anxiously.

"Okay, you go back to your own courtyard first. I'll ask Doctor Wang to come over right away. You should also quickly change your blood-stained clothes and be careful not to catch a cold." After saying that, he made way.

"Okay, Daddy. I'll go back and change my clothes right away so I won't catch a cold." Lu Lingxi said as he quickly walked towards Lingxi Garden.

Lu Lingxi returned to Lingxi Garden and first placed the two puppies on the high couch in the outer room. Chunhong and Liulu divided the work and quickly washed and changed clothes for Lu Lingxi.

Doctor Wang came over not long after the treatment. Lu Yi urged him so much that Doctor Wang thought the girl was playing outside and got hurt accidentally. He didn't expect that he was asked to treat the dog, and he didn't know where to start.

"Doctor Wang, please don't just stand there. Please help me take a look at these two puppies. They are just born, and I was the one who tore off their umbilical cords. I think they are not fixed properly. Please help me take a look and deal with them." Seeing that Doctor Wang was in a daze, Lu Lingxi urged him to check them quickly.

Doctor Wang had a direction after listening to Lu Lingxi's words. He quickly pulled open the cloth wrapped around the puppy and examined it carefully. He wiped the puppy's belly button with wine, wrapped it with gauze, and asked Liu Lu to get a basin of warm water to help the puppy clean the dirt on its body. After doing all this, the puppy seemed to feel much better, but it was still whimpering softly, and he didn't know what else to do.

"Miss, may I ask where is the mother dog that gave birth to these two puppies? It looks like they have been born for an hour or two. They must be hungry and need to eat." Doctor Wang said suddenly with an epiphany.

When talking about the puppy's mother, Lu Lingxi felt sad again and didn't want to answer. Chunhong saw that Lu Lingxi didn't want to talk, so she answered for her: "Their mother died after giving birth to them, so the young lady rescued them and brought them back home."

"These two puppies are really pitiful. Without a mother dog to feed them, we can only use other things instead tonight. Prepare some sugar water first, and then see if we can find milk from other animals for them to drink." The puppies' mother had passed away, so Doctor Wang could only suggest feeding them something else.

After hearing Doctor Wang's instructions, Liu Lu went downstairs to prepare the sugar water and asked the kitchen if they had any goat's milk, cow's milk or anything like that.

"Miss, the master asked me to take your pulse as well. Don't catch a cold." Doctor Wang saw that the puppy had been treated almost completely, so he wanted to check on Lu Lingxi as well.

"Doctor Wang, I'm fine, no need to see. I'm really sorry to bother you today. I made you make a special trip just for two puppies so late at night." Lu Lingxi said apologetically.

"Miss, you are too polite. It's not a big deal. Being a doctor is like this. You have to be on call at all times. Sometimes a little delay means missing the best time for treatment, which is even more painful to see. But you still have to let me take a look. You have just gotten better. If you get sick again, wouldn't it make the master worry in vain?" Doctor Wang sincerely advised Lu Lingxi that she should let him take her pulse.

"Okay then, please help me take a look and don't let daddy worry." Lu Lingxi felt that what Doctor Wang said made sense, so he agreed.

After Lu Lingxi sat down and let Doctor Wang feel her pulse, Doctor Wang said, "After more than a month of recuperation, the young lady is in good health and there is nothing wrong with her."

"I said it's okay. Doctor Wang, please tell dad the truth so he can be at ease." Lu Lingxi was relieved to hear what Doctor Wang said. He didn't have to drink the bitter Chinese medicine, thank God.

"It's getting late. I'll take my leave now." Seeing that Lu Lingxi had almost dealt with all the matters, Doctor Wang stood up and said goodbye.

"Okay, thank you, Doctor Wang. Take care." Lu Lingxi stood up and saluted, watching Doctor Wang leave.

After seeing Doctor Wang off, Lu Lingxi stayed by the puppies' side, thinking seriously about how to settle them down.

"Chunhong, go find a bamboo basket, put some hay underneath, find a piece of soft cloth and stuff some cotton in it, make a mat, and make a nest for them." Lu Lingxi ordered after thinking for a while.

Chunhong heard the instruction and did it immediately.

Not long after Chunhong left, Liulv came back, "Miss, I mixed some sugar water, and I saw there was some milk in the kitchen, so I brought it over."

"Okay, bring them all over here." Lu Lingxi was worried about the puppies and didn't dare to take his eyes off them for even a moment.

Liu Lu brought the sugar water and milk over, but she was at a loss as to how to feed the puppies. They were too small and couldn't eat from the bowl by themselves. Even if she had a spoon, it was still difficult to feed them.

After struggling for a while, Lu Lingxi finally came up with a solution. He soaked a clean cotton cloth with sugar water and put it in the puppies' mouths, letting them suck on it, just like they were drinking their mother's milk. He fed them sugar water and some milk. After struggling for almost half an hour, they were finally full and fell asleep peacefully.

After a while, Chunhong came back with the doghouse she had prepared. Lu Lingxi gently moved the two puppies into the doghouse and covered them with a layer of soft cotton cloth as a blanket. Seeing them sleeping peacefully, Lu Lingxi gradually relaxed and watched them quietly.

Their fur was still very thin, and you could see their pink skin. One had pure black fur, and the other had white fur with a few patches of black. Their fur was very soft and fine. Although they were born in such an environment, the male and female dogs were very thin, but they were well-fed and plump. The pads under their paws were pink and you could just reach out and pinch them. They were so cute. It seemed that the male dog gave all the delicious food to the female dog, and the two little guys also fully absorbed the nutrition from what the female dog ate.

"Chunhong, Liulu, what names do you think we should give them?" The question was directed at Chunhong and Liulu, but Lu Lingxi did not look at them. He still stared at the two little ones.

"We servants can't think of one, so please think of one for them, Miss." Chunhong replied behind Lu Lingxi.

"Well... let's call the black and white one Xiaohua, and the pure black one Changwei. What do you think?" Lu Lingxi thought for a while and said excitedly. This time she finally bear to look back at Chunhong and Liulv.

"Okay, the name Miss gave is of course good. But I would like to ask, where does Miss plan to put the doghouse?" It was Chunhong who answered again. Liulv ran up and down more often and was a little tired now, so she sat aside to take a break.

"Just put them in my room. They are still so young, and I need to look after them in person to feel at ease." Lu Lingxi looked back at the two little ones and said as a matter of course.

"If I put them in the young lady's room, I'm afraid they will disturb her. Why don't you let me take them to my room tonight? I promise to take good care of them." Chunhong promised.

"Chunhong, it's not that I don't trust you, I just can't feel at ease if I can't see them. Just leave them here with me, it's okay." Lu Lingxi insisted.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Finally Chunhong had to compromise.
