The Real Young Master Was Sold as a Slave, The Obsessive Crown Prince's Forced Love - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: The Main Male Lead

Although the wounds on his lower back and buttocks hadn’t fully healed, thankfully, the beating yesterday wasn’t severe. Song Yu quickly struggled to get out of bed.

He was limping a bit, but it didn’t prevent him from going out.

Leaning on the door frame, Song Yu finally opened the door.

[Aaaahhhhhhh!]

[It’s the MAIN MALE LEAD!!!!]

[Oh my God, why is the main male lead here at Xiao Yu’s place?]

[What is he going to do?]

[Never mind what he’s doing, he’s so handsome!!!!]

As Song Yu opened the door, he saw a person standing in the courtyard. Just as he was about to make out who the person was, he froze.

The main male lead?

Is this the legendary main male lead?

The one who was intimate with Su Yunhe by the pond twice on the day he was poisoned?

Song Yu had always been curious about who this main male lead was. Now, after a moment of astonishment, his eyes were filled with curiosity as he looked at the person in the courtyard.

Good.

Completely unfamiliar.

He doesn’t recognize him at all.

As for the person in the courtyard, he seemed a little surprised by Song Yu’s sudden appearance. He looked over at Song Yu, a gentle, jade-like smile on his face, “I heard from Director Xu that Physician Song’s pulse diagnosis is excellent. This Prince would like to ask Physician Song to check my pulse.”

This Prince?

So this main male lead is a Prince, huh?

Song Yu was inwardly cautious. He stepped out of the doorway and bowed to the main male lead, “Greetings to Your Highness. Is Your Highness feeling unwell anywhere?”

As he asked, he wondered, Why is he blocking the Imperial Physician’s doorway just to check his pulse?

Don’t they usually summon the Imperial Physician?

The main male lead smiled, “Physician Song, please dispense with the formalities. Could we speak further inside?”

Song Yu: !!!

No way!

You, a Prince, are being so amiable to me. I’m scared!

Especially since you’re Su Yunhe’s main male lead.

Song Yu quickly put on a humble expression, “Your Highness can just give your orders to this humble official.”

The main male lead hesitated for a moment, looked left and right, then took two steps forward, lowering his voice, “Actually, I wanted to ask Physician Song to examine Su Yunhe.”

Hearing that name again from someone else’s mouth, Song Yu’s heart felt a dull, numb pain.

Suppressing that indescribable discomfort, Song Yu looked at this main male lead with confusion, “Is Physician Su ill?”

The main male lead sighed sadly, looking at Song Yu’s expression, “Something happened last night. He developed a high fever in the middle of the night and the fever won’t break. He keeps speaking nonsense.

“Originally, this Prince was going to ask an Imperial Physician to examine him.

“But he keeps murmuring ‘Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu’…

“This Prince asked him about Xiao Yu, but he couldn’t explain clearly in his muddled state.

“That’s why this Prince came to find Physician Song.”

[Xiao Yu, don’t be fooled! Su Yunhe doesn’t have a fever at all!]

[What is the main male lead trying to do? Su Yunhe is currently in the Imperial Academy of Medicine’s attendant’s quarters!]

[Exactly! The Emperor was assassinated, so the hunt is ending early. They are preparing to return to the capital. Everyone in the Imperial Academy is packing up. An attendant is about to come here to notify Song Yu. What is the main male lead up to!]

Song Yu was already planning to refuse.

Su Yunhe trying to send him to Prince Yu last night had completely severed their relationship.

He wouldn’t be soft-hearted.

Seeing those floating words heightened his caution. He shook his head at the main male lead, “Your Highness, please calm your anger. It’s not that this humble official is unwilling. The truth is, this humble official was beaten with a plank yesterday. Firstly, the pain is still raw. Secondly, I’m still suffering from some lingering fright and palpitations. I really can’t get an accurate pulse, and I’m afraid of misdiagnosing.”

“It’s alright. You can at least go over and say a few words to him.” The main male lead took two more steps forward.

A few more steps, and he would be right in Song Yu’s face.

Song Yu was about to take half a step back…

But if he took half a step back, he would be inside the room. If this Prince insisted on following him into the room and caused some commotion, it would be impossible to explain.

Taking a deep breath, Song Yu didn’t retreat. Instead, he looked at this main male lead, “Your Highness, please forgive me. This humble official doesn’t want to go. This humble official…”

Song Yu was just about to refuse directly. If the other party insisted, he would directly reveal his grievances with Su Yunhe.

“Physician Song!”

Before he could say more, a young attendant ran in from outside the door.

Sweating profusely from running, the attendant paused as soon as he entered the courtyard. He respectfully bowed to the person in the courtyard and greeted him, “Greetings to His Highness Prince Jing.”

So the main male lead is Prince Jing~

Song Yu’s mind spun. He looked at the attendant, “Is something the matter?”

The attendant quickly said, “His Majesty has issued an order to break camp and return to the capital. Director Xu asked me to inform Physician Song to prepare. They will depart in about a quarter of an hour.”

Prince Jing frowned and looked at Song Yu with a worried expression, “Hasn’t Physician Song’s injury from the beating not healed yet? The Imperial Academy’s carriage is bumpy. I’m afraid the journey back will worsen your injury. Why doesn’t Physician Song return to the capital with this Prince?”

A hint of surprise flashed in the attendant’s eyes.

But he didn’t say anything more.

Song Yu only wanted to retort on the spot: Is it appropriate for me, an Imperial Physician, to ride in your Prince’s carriage!

Don’t try to trap me!

I don’t know you!

Don’t talk as if we know each other!

Of course, Song Yu couldn’t say these words directly. He could only say, though annoyed but respectful, “Thank you for Your Highness’s kindness, this humble official…”

“Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu! I want Xiao Yu!”

Just as Song Yu was speaking, the Sixth Prince suddenly rushed in from outside like a gust of wind.

He was shouting at the top of his lungs as he rushed in.

He was injured by an arrow last night and hadn’t healed. His shoulder was still wrapped in gauze, and to stabilize it, his arm was also fixed with a wooden splint.

With one arm immobilized, he stumbled as he ran. As he rushed in, he almost fell headlong onto the ground.

Fortunately, the small eunuch closely following him managed to steady him in time.

The Sixth Prince resembled Qi Wang greatly.

But he lacked Qi Wang’s coldness. His face was alight with a simple, honest smile. He grinned at Song Yu and walked towards him, “Hehe, Xiao Yu, I came to find you.”

The small eunuch following the Sixth Prince bowed and greeted Prince Jing, then looked at Song Yu with a troubled expression, “His Highness heard they are returning to the capital and insisted on finding Physician Song, wanting Physician Song to ride with him.”

“Xiao Yu! I have delicious cakes in my carriage! I’ll give them to you to eat!” The Sixth Prince was mentally impaired and had no reservations. He grinned and reached out to grab Song Yu’s hand. Once he had it, he tugged Song Yu along, “I’ll take you to eat the cakes!”

Song Yu, who was struggling with how to refuse Prince Jing, immediately took the opportunity to follow the Sixth Prince.

Although he didn’t know why the Sixth Prince suddenly came, the Sixth Prince was, after all, Qi Wang’s brother.

He wouldn’t harm him.

“Physician Song has already agreed to leave with me. How can Sixth Brother snatch him away? Crown Prince Brother always said we must be good brothers,” Prince Jing stood in front of the Sixth Prince and spoke to him gently, “Our Xiao Jing must listen to Crown Prince Brother, right? We must have the courtesy of first come, first served, mustn’t we?”

The Sixth Prince, holding Song Yu’s hand, grinned at Prince Jing, “Prince Jing Brother is right! But I won’t listen! Hehehehehehe~”

He pulled Song Yu and ran.

“Xiao Yu, run! A big bad wolf is trying to eat people!”
