C151 The Dog be Sick
C151 The Dog be Sick
The floor was warm and a charcoal brazier was lit, warm as if it were two seasons outside.
Due to the snow, Shen Jingli was not allowed to go out and wander around. Xun Er stayed in the greenhouse to play, either playing with bricks or playing with wooden horses, or watching over the two doggy s in the house.
When the two doggy arrived at the County Prince's Mansion, they ate, drank, slept, grew fatter, and their fur also lit up a lot. Xun Er had a sense of accomplishment from looking at them, and everyday he would have to cook more for the doggy to eat.
"Mama, the little mutt is sick."
The moment Shen Jingli entered the room, as if he had seen his savior, Xun Er ran over and hugged Shen Jingli's leg, looking at him pitifully.
"What's going on?" Shen Jingli took off his cape and handed it over to Jin Yu, as he asked.
This morning, he had just said that the two puppies looked extremely good, that they had eaten a lot, that their bodies had grown strong and healthy, and that they were very healthy. Why did they suddenly say that they were sick?
Xun Er did not care what Shen Jingli was thinking, and anxiously pulled Shen Jingli to see his doggy.
"Mama, quick, quick..."
At night, they would put it in a special pet room with a few small rabbits inside. During the day, when Xun Er wanted to play with the two puppies, he would bring them to the warm room and place them at the entrance.
"Mama, the general is sick."
The general was the little dog with a pinch of yellow hair on its back. It was a male dog, and it had recently finished its meal.
Shen Jingli squatted down and looked closer. Sure enough, he saw that the doggy was lying on the ground listlessly, its eyes were dim and it let out wails of sorrow from time to time. It had no appetite for the food in front of it, and the snowy white puppy was rubbing its head intimately, as if it was comforting it.
"Mama …" Xun Er reached out and tugged at the corner of Shen Jingli's clothes, his small face full of worry.
Amidst Xun Er's worry, with his innocence and benevolence, Shen Jingli smiled and rubbed his head, saying: "Mama will immediately ask for a vet to treat this general."
"Will the general die?" Xun Er was young, so he couldn't understand the meaning of death, but he could feel the unfriendliness of this word, as well as the sadness it emitted.
"No, it might just be cold." Afraid that Xun Er was too sick, Shen Jingli picked him up and let him sit on the Arhat Bed s with thick mattresses. Then he called for Nian Hua to come over and instruct him to get some people to send a vet.
The veterinarian returned in a moment and carefully examined the puppy. The result was indeed a cold that caused the stomach to feel unwell.
The vet gave the dog some medicine so it wouldn't get stuck in the snow. The vet told Shen Jingli that the dog wasn't well taken care of when it was first born and its body was a little weak.
Shen Jingli nodded, paid the medical fee and then ordered his men to follow the vet to get the medicine.
"He's perfectly fine, why would he catch a cold?" Jin Yu mumbled in confusion.
"Maybe he sneaked off to play, but couldn't get out in the snow." Shen Jingli joked.
Hearing this, Jin Yu agreed, "This dog is also mischievous. The house is very warm, yet it refused to stay, and decided to bury itself in the ice-cold snow."
"…"
Shen Jingli turned around and looked at Jin Yu who had a look of disdain on her face, and was a little speechless.
In her heart, Jin Yu had already determined that it was Dou Zi Bao (Xun Er called him General) who had run out to play without permission. Only when he had caught a cold would his stomach feel uncomfortable, thus she glared at the two doggy s and took the dog food away.
When she brought the food away, Xun Er became anxious and quickly reached out to pull Shen Jingli away, "Mama …"
With a pitiful tone, he pointed at the two doggy s. His meaning was obvious, his doggy did not have anything to eat.
"The milk is cold, go and heat it up Jin Yu will be good."
Only their family's doggy could get such good treatment. Thinking about it, these two dogs were pretty happy.
Xun Er nodded his head and went down from the Arhat Bed. Without wearing his shoes, he put on his socks and stepped on the floor. He walked to the dog den and squatted in front of it as he stared at the two doggy s.
"General, you must hurry and get better. When you are better, I will take you and the Prince out to play." Xun Er clenched his fist and solemnly guaranteed.
"Uncle said that Uncle Zhao's stable is very big and very beautiful. There are many fine horses. I will take you guys to play when the time comes."
"General? "Your Highness?"
Shen Jingli raised his head and looked over. He saw Yan Chenglee standing at the entrance, and looked at Mu Chen who was behind him with a puzzled expression.
Had he been caught red-handed?
Shen Jingli facepalmed and also looked at Mu Chen, wanting to know how he would explain himself.
"The names of the puppies."
Fourteen, is it really okay for you to be so blunt?
"The dog's name?" Yan Chenglee said with a smile that was not a smile. From his expression, it was not possible to tell that he was angry.
Shen Jingli secretly glanced at him, unable to figure out what he was thinking, but Mu Chen did not care if he was angry at all, even if he was angry, he estimated that he was not worried at all.
He walked over and picked up his precious son. The moment he came into contact with his father's embrace, Xun Er immediately grabbed Mu Chen's arm and reported to him, "Father, the general is sick, and won't eat anything."
"What disease?" Mu Chen turned to ask Shen Jingli.
"Gastrointestinal disease." Shen Jingli said.
"It's serious." Seeing that his son's eyes were red, Mu Chen couldn't help but feel that the dog was seriously ill, and might even die soon.
"He'll be full of energy in a few days." It's just that my stomach is uncomfortable, it's not like I have stomach cancer, what big problems could there be? Shen Jingli thought, but did not put the matter to heart.
Yan Chenglee, on the other hand, was squatting in front of the dog den. After looking at the two doggy for a while, he said, "Give them such names, what do you think?"
"My son likes it." Mu Chen caressed Xun Er's face, and immediately transformed into his spoiled son, the Berserk Demon.
"Xun Er took it?" Yan Chenglee laughed. He was originally handsome, but with such a smile, he had an even greater affinity.
As if seeing his beauty for the first time, Shen Jingli opened his eyes wide and stared straight at him. After knowing him for so long, this was the first time he realized that King Jing was actually a very handsome guy.
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Seeing Shen Jingli staring at him in a daze, Mu Chen coughed to warn him.
Shen Jingli retracted his gaze, and chuckled, then pulled Xun Er out from's embrace and said to them: All of you sit down first, I'll get the pot of hot water from the kitchen to boil.
"Sure, go ahead." Yan Chenglee waved his hand, and Shen Jingli carried Xun Er out the door.
Yan Chenglee sat down on the chair and said: "Are you going to allow Xun Er to shout out that name as he pleases? "Aren't you afraid of being overheard? I'm interested in you."
"A child's words are always spoken without restraint. Could it be that the Emperor will demean me because of a child's words?" Mu Chen also sat down.
"It's hard to say if Royal Father will or not, but the people who don't like you will certainly think of all sorts of ways to expand your crimes and make you suffer." Sometimes, wars in the imperial court were impossible to guard against.
"That's great. We can just dismiss him and go back to the village to farm." Mu Chen said casually.
He was calm to the point that it made Yan Chenglee feel apprehensive. He could tell that Mu Chen did not speak carelessly, and if things really went that far, he would have done so, he did not care about everything that happened in the government. If not for the old man, he would have long since resigned from office.
"Don't scare me, I can't take it anymore." If Mu Chen returned to the countryside to farm, then he would have one less capable assistant by his side. To him, this was not a good thing at all.
Jin Yu brought a pot of hot water inside and brewed them a pot of tea. Each of them poured a cup and placed it on the table beside them, then left.
Mu Chen picked it up, blew on it, and pecked it: "I heard that Beauty Zheng has given birth to a little princess. Don't you need to go to the palace to congratulate her?"
Ten months after Beauty Zheng was pregnant, she gave birth to her daughter, who weighed eight kilograms. Today was the full moon, and the palace held a full moon banquet, inviting a portion of the imperial parents to the palace for a feast. Yan Chenglee should be amongst them.
"The wangfei is pregnant, This King doesn't want to join in on the fun." Crown Princess Jing married him at sixteen and still hasn't given birth to a child for seven or eight years, but they have even made the princess' body look very weak. It was all because of those people in the palace, if they liked to cause trouble, they could do as they wish.
"I heard that Zhongping's wife is pregnant, do you know about this?" The news of Zhao Wenrui's pregnancy spread very quickly. The girls who had mocked him earlier all gnashed their teeth when they heard this news.
Although Crown Princess Jing hadn't gone out since he became pregnant, her parents and sister-in-law still frequently came to visit her to relieve their boredom and told her about what had happened outside.
"Got it."
"That kid is quite fortunate." There was a trace of envy in his voice, as well as a trace of helplessness.
Living in the royal family, he couldn't control everything.
Mu Chen laughed but did not say a word. A person would envy others because they possessed what they desired, but no one would ever want to know what their true thoughts were.
"If the Beauty Zheng didn't give birth to a prince, what kind of attitude does the Zheng Family have?"
"Beauty Zheng is naturally unhappy in her heart, but Noble Consort Zheng is very happy, because there won't be one more person to compete with Second Emperor." Yan Chenglee laughed. Actually, he would rather the Beauty Zheng have a son so that the Zheng Family would have a son.
The Zheng Family and Noble Consort Zheng had harmed two of his unborn children, and had even framed him. Sooner or later, he would find a chance to get revenge.
Mu Chen laughed. Ever since Beauty Zheng became pregnant, their relationship was not that friendly, she had always believed that she would give birth to a prince, she was usually so arrogant, even offending Noble Consort Zheng. Now that she had a princess, she was probably frustrated to death.
He wanted to leave a mark on everything so that they could meet again in the future. He was referring to people like her.
"Has Second Prince made any moves recently?"
Yan Chenglee shook his head, "Recently, he has been writing letters to the General Zheng. It seems to be related to the salt fields in the south.
"They want the salt?" Great Yan Dynasty's Salt Iron was very tight. If one was not careful, one would lose one's life.
"I'm not sure."
Just as the two of them were chatting about the salt farm in the south, Shen Jingli walked in and asked them if they would like to stay home for lunch.
