The Real Young Master Was Sold as a Slave, The Obsessive Crown Prince's Forced Love - Chapter 25
Chapter 25: A Hug
Imperial Physician’s Office.
Su Yunhe’s face was filled with sorrow. He held Song Yu’s hand, his eyes red with distress.
“Why would such an unexpected disaster befall you!
“When you were sent out of the palace, I was truly beside myself with worry, wishing I could use my own bl00d as a medicinal guide for you, begging you to wake up quickly.
“Fortunately, my constant prayers and appeals to the Bodhisattvas paid off, and you are finally detoxified.”
[Although he is the Shuo Shou (Protagonist Uke), but… sigh, when Little Yu was poisoned and unconscious, he was busy dating the Gong Shou (Protagonist Seme) by the pond.]
[Song Yu being poisoned wasn’t Su Yunhe’s fault. Can’t Su Yunhe go on a date just because Song Yu is poisoned? What kind of saints are you all!]
[No one said he can’t, but if he was truly worried, he shouldn’t have been in the mood for that, right? But by the pond, Su Yunhe was clearly enjoying himself, clinging to the Protagonist Seme and asking for it twice.]
Song Yu looked at the floating text, his cheeks slightly flushed.
Asked for it twice?
By the pond?
That wild?
Also, who is this Protagonist Seme?
Su Yunhe noticed Song Yu’s cheeks flushing slightly, looking somewhat bashful as he held his hand. His heart stirred, and he held Song Yu’s hand with one hand while reaching to stroke Song Yu’s face with the other, his eyes filled with as much tender affection as possible.
“Little Yu, I feel relieved now that you are okay, A-He Gege (Brother A-He).
“It must be Father’s spirit in heaven protecting our Little Yu, wishing our Little Yu a long life.
“By the way, Little Yu, when I took you into the palace that day, outside Consort Li’s bedchamber, how did that little eunuch faint?
“I thought it was strange then, but I didn’t get a chance to ask you.
“Tell me the situation in detail.”
[What does “Father’s spirit in heaven protecting” mean? Do they have the same father?]
[How is that possible? If they had the same father, why would Su Yunhe tell everyone he has no relatives?]
[I think it’s possible. Otherwise, it’s hard to explain the intimacy between them in private. It’s just that the Protagonist Uke doesn’t want others to know about Song Yu’s existence.]
[Since Song Yu came to the capital, the Protagonist Uke’s behavior has indeed been strange. For instance, now, if he were genuinely worried about Song Yu, why wouldn’t he ask about Song Yu’s current physical condition, telling him to rest more, but instead asking how the eunuch fainted that day?]
Song Yu also found it strange.
Although A-He Gege had been odd ever since he saw him…
But…
This was A-He Gege.
A-He Gege, who had grown up and lived with him for more than ten years.
Song Yu neither wanted to speculate on Su Yunhe with malice nor did he want to involve him in this messy, potentially life-threatening situation.
So he simply said, “He suddenly fainted. I was shocked, too.”
Su Yunhe’s gentle expression paused slightly. He scrutinized Song Yu for a moment, then, a second later, affectionately stroked Song Yu’s face and smiled, “Is that so?
“I thought our Little Yu had secretly refined Miedie San (Forget-Sorrow Powder) and poisoned him with a silver needle dipped in it to knock him out.
“I saw a needle prick on his hand.”
Su Yunhe wore a playful smile and familiarly pinched Song Yu’s nose.
“Did you really not secretly refine Miedie San?
“If you did, you must not hide it from A-He Gege. This thing is very important.
“His Majesty has been asking the Imperial Physician’s Office to develop an anesthetic more effective than Mafeisan (cannabis/hemp boiled powder). If Miedie San is successfully made, it will definitely be a great achievement.
“If you really refined it, A-He Gege won’t steal your credit.”
As they were talking, a young page came in from outside, standing at the door and reporting, “Imperial Physician Song, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived and will be here shortly.”
Su Yunhe’s expression immediately changed.
He looked at Song Yu with a hint of inquiry, “Didn’t you say you didn’t know the Crown Prince? Why did the Crown Prince stay by your side after you were poisoned and returned yesterday? It prevented me from coming to see you.
“And today he is here to see you again. Is Little Yu hiding something from A-He Gege?”
Before Song Yu could answer, sounds of people greeting and paying respects could be heard from outside.
The door to the room was pushed open from the outside.
Su Yunhe quickly knelt down and paid his respects to the entering Crown Prince, “Your subordinate greets His Highness the Crown Prince. May Your Highness enjoy boundless prosperity and peace.”
Qi Wang wore a long black robe embroidered with gold threads, exuding a strong sense of aloofness amidst his cold nobility.
He didn’t spare Su Yunhe a glance. He only sat down on a nearby chair. “Scram.”
Su Yunhe was terrified, not knowing how he had offended the Crown Prince. He immediately scrambled out in a panic.
Once he left, the door creaked shut from the outside, leaving only Song Yu and Qi Wang in the room.
Song Yu dared not breathe loudly.
Was the Crown Prince going to ask about his relationship with Su Yunhe?
Or had Lady Wang confessed something, and the Crown Prince was here to settle accounts?
[I never expected the Crown Prince to come see Song Yu today.]
Song Yu: ???
Huh?
Is today a very special day?
What’s wrong with seeing me?
Can’t I be seen?
Am I unworthy!
An inexplicable rebellious defiance welled up in his heart.
[Today is the Empress’s death anniversary.]
Song Yu:!!!
Ah!
I am unworthy.
[No wonder Qi Wang confronted the Dog Emperor directly in court today. It’s the Empress’s death anniversary, and the Dog Emperor still wants to back Prince Yu.]
[It was Prince Yu’s birth mother who killed the Empress. On the day the Empress died suddenly, the then eight-year-old Prince Yu poisoned the then seven-year-old Sixth Prince.]
[Yes, ten years ago, Qi Wang was only fourteen. He lost his birth mother overnight, and his younger brother was poisoned.]
[If Prince Yu hadn’t poisoned the Sixth Prince back then, the Sixth Prince wouldn’t have become mentally deficient.]
[Back then, Qi Wang relied on himself to find the human and material evidence of Prince Yu poisoning the Sixth Prince. Unfortunately, the Dog Emperor was biased and not only failed to punish Prince Yu but also gave Qi Wang a severe beating.]
Lines of text floated by.
Song Yu watched, his heart pounding with fear.
The Crown Prince is that miserable?
Today is his birth mother’s death anniversary…
No wonder his face looks so terrible.
He must be very upset.
I should comfort my powerful backer.
Song Yu was still weak, but he struggled to get up from the bed.
He originally wanted to get down to pour his backer a cup of water, but his limbs were weak. As soon as he sat up, he felt dizzy and swayed forward—
Bang!
He thought he was going to fall directly onto the floor.
Song Yu was already screaming inwardly.
But—
Qi Wang, looking exasperated, caught Song Yu, who had tumbled off the bed, and asked angrily, “What are you trying to do?”
Song Yu was still dizzy. Held in his arms, he whimpered, “I saw that Your Highness looked unhappy.”
Qi Wang, holding the person, turned and sat down on Song Yu’s bed.
His already loose clothes, due to the struggle, were wide open at the collar, and his robes were disheveled.
Qi Wang looked down and saw a patch of fair skin and a half-concealed red…
His Adam’s apple bobbed. Qi Wang didn’t let go. He simply said coldly, “What? I’m unhappy, so you’re going to perform a headstand for me?”
Song Yu:…
He gave a silly laugh. “Can a headstand make Your Highness happy? If it can, then I’ll do one. No, I’ll do ten.”
