The Real Young Master Was Sold as a Slave, The Obsessive Crown Prince's Forced Love - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Lost All His Clothes

Song Yu’s first thought was—

F*ck!

Could this Crown Prince have some sort of abnormal disease, using biting as a method of interrogation?

But then, the hand clamped tightly around his neck suddenly lost its strength, and the hand pressing his wrist against the top of his head also thudded and drooped down. Only then did Song Yu realize.

F*ck!

He had passed out again.

Why did you have to stir up trouble!

Rolling his eyes, Song Yu let out a huge sigh of relief and leaned against the wall to catch his breath.

After all, he had just exhausted himself getting the man up the mountain, carrying his heavy weight off the horse, and then he was nearly strangled. Although he had plenty of strength and skill—

He didn’t have that much!

After a moment’s rest, Song Yu gently laid the unconscious Crown Prince back down.

【…】

【F*ck, when the Crown Prince suddenly turned his head, I thought he was going to kiss Little Fish!】

【I have to say, in that position, if it really were a kiss… Eww, it would be so intense!】

【My handsome, bl00d-soaked Crown Prince pressing down on the obedient Little Fish and doing things, Little Fish struggling desperately, eyes red with anger, but being…】

【Are you guys sick? Song Yu is just cannon fodder. Even if he didn’t die now, he’s not far from it. The Crown Prince only dies in the very last episode.】

Song Yu thought: You’re not far from death!

I won’t die!

You are the one being pressed down and subjected to things!

I won’t be pressed down!

He took the quilt out, dusted it off, and covered the Crown Prince. Song Yu cracked the window open slightly to air out the room.

There was a well his adoptive father had dug in the courtyard. Song Yu fetched water, washed the pot, filled it with fresh water, and lit the dry firewood stored in the woodshed.

Then he grabbed a bamboo basket and his bow and arrow and headed out.

【What is Little Fish going to do? Uh… Plantago (plantain)?】

【Does Little Fish know about herbs? He’s gathering medicine?】

【This one looks like Wild Pa Zi, which is especially useful for high fever caused by external injuries.】

【But don’t herbs have to be processed before use? The herbs bought at pharmacies are all dried.】

【For non-toxic ones like this, you can use them directly. Processing is usually to enhance medicinal properties, reduce toxicity, make pills, or for storage, etc.】

【I’m just a drama watcher, and I’m actually learning something?】

Song Yu didn’t dare walk too far. One, he worried that a wild beast might enter the yard and eat the man he had just painstakingly rescued; two, he worried that going too far might expose their whereabouts.

He picked the necessary herbs and hurried back.

A pot of water had just boiled.

Song Yu dug out the ceramic pot and the mortar and pestle from the woodshed. He washed them first with well water and then scalded them with boiling water.

He washed the freshly picked herbs, blanched them briefly in the boiling water, drained them, and placed them in the mortar.

He ladled out the used water from the large pot on the stove, refilled the pot with fresh water, and set it to boil again.

He sat in the courtyard, sleeves rolled up, pounding the herbs vigorously.

【It gives me a sense of watching a daily life healing-type streamer…】

【Little Fish is so handsome. I feel like I could just keep watching him work slowly like this.】

【Little Fish is so pale!】

【Too bad he’s just cannon fodder and will die soon.】

Song Yu ignored the strings of scrolling text, bang-bang-banging the herbs.

When done, he carried the paste into the room.

Then he grabbed a large wooden basin, washed it clean, and carried hot water into the room.

Before entering the room, he threw a handful of herbs into the pot to simmer.

【I’ve always been curious, why didn’t ancient wooden basins leak?】

【Ancient craftsmanship was exquisite, and they were usually sealed with tung oil.】

【…I learned something again?】

The Crown Prince was still unconscious.

As Song Yu took off his clothes, he silently prayed, “Please don’t wake up! Please don’t wake up! Please don’t wake up!”

【Hahahahahaha!】

【So cute.】

【If he doesn’t wake up, aren’t you afraid he’ll die?】

Glancing at the text, Song Yu quickly revised his prayer, “Don’t wake up now. Wake up after I’m done!”

He checked the Crown Prince’s body. There were wounds on his legs, one on his shoulder, and one on his waist. They were bloody and already stuck to his clothes.

Song Yu carefully wiped away the bloodstains near the wounds with a hot cloth, then applied his pounded herbal paste to the wounds. He placed a layer of unpounded herbs over the paste, and finally, he cut the Crown Prince’s undergarment into strips to bandage him.

【So skilled!】

【I just wonder what the Crown Prince will do when he wakes up and finds his clothes have been cut and he has nothing to wear…】

【He definitely can’t jump up naked and strangle Little Fish.】

【Hahaha, Little Fish cut them on purpose, right? Just to prevent him from waking up and killing people.】

Song Yu glanced at the scrolling text, the corners of his mouth curving slightly in an uncontrollable smile, his bright eyes concealing a hint of sly amusement.

That’s what you get for trying to strangle me!

Clap!

Just as he was feeling smug, his wrist was suddenly seized.

Song Yu jumped in fright, turned, and met the dark, deep eyes of Qi Wang on the kang.

He… he… woke up?

Qi Wang’s eyes were still full of deep suspicion and killing intent. He gripped Song Yu’s wrist and demanded, “Who sent you?”

【I guess His Royal Highness hasn’t realized he’s naked yet?】

【Hahahahahahahaha!】

【I can’t imagine what he’ll be like when he realizes!】

【How will my handsome, murderous, paranoid, and vicious villain face his naked self!】

Surrounded by words of schadenfreude, Song Yu felt his scalp prickle.

Although the current Crown Prince was severely injured, he was completely capable of taking advantage of his illness and killing him.

However, he had gone to all that trouble to save the man for the purpose of using his influence to get revenge.

Taking a couple of deep breaths, Song Yu smiled at Qi Wang, trying to look gentle and non-aggressive, not even attempting to pull away his grasped wrist.

“No one sent me. You were injured, and I saved you. This is my home.”

Qi Wang’s expression was cold and harsh. “At the alley entrance, I saw you setting the fire there.”

Song Yu smiled shyly, “Then you have really good eyesight.”

Qi Wang: …

Pursing his lips, Song Yu added, “In that alley, people from Earl Anping’s manor had set up an ambush. I was afraid you would enter and be harmed by them, so I set the fire.”

【How did Little Fish know Earl Anping’s manor had people ambushing there?】

【The Crown Prince already suspected Little Fish’s motives. Oh no, saying that will definitely make him even more suspicious!】

【Indeed, the Crown Prince’s face has changed. He’s about to kill him, isn’t he!】

Qi Wang stared intently at the person in front of him, a sneer on his face, which was pale from bl00d loss. “Earl Anping’s manor had people ambushing there? You knew this?”

The tone was laced with sarcasm and ridicule.

The moment he finished speaking, he abruptly sat up. At the same time, the hand gripping Song Yu’s wrist suddenly pulled with force, yanking Song Yu closer.

In a flash of lightning, he reached out to strangle Song Yu’s neck.

And then—

The quilt on his body slipped off due to his sudden sitting up.

Exposing his completely naked body…

Simultaneously.

As Song Yu was violently yanked, he instinctively raised his hands to struggle.

In the struggle—

Thud!

Song Yu’s head directly collided with Qi Wang’s chest, and he ended up sticking his face right onto… that!
