The Real Young Master Was Sold as a Slave, The Obsessive Crown Prince's Forced Love - Chapter 44
Chapter 44: Liking
Qi Wang stood there holding the medicine bottle, completely still, slightly raising an eyebrow.
He looked somewhat puzzled.
“What are you dilly-dallying for? Doesn’t the wound hurt? Or are you saying that since I ordered the beating today, you thought I would actually beat you to death?”
Song Yu immediately shook his head, “No, I knew right away that Your Highness must have arranged everything.”
“You trust me that much?” Qi Wang’s stern face showed a slight smile.
Song Yu nodded heavily, “Of course! Your Highness is the person this subject trusts the most in this world!”
His words were firm and clear, but he felt a little sad inside.
Originally, the person he trusted the most in this world should have been Su Yunhe.
Thinking of Su Yunhe, Song Yu’s eyes dimmed slightly, but before the dimness could deepen…
“If you trust me so much, then why won’t you take off your pants?” Qi Wang retorted.
Song Yu: …
Ah, darn it!
That slight sadness instantly vanished without a trace.
“Your Highness, the injury is on, on my buttocks…” Song Yu tried to be as tactful as possible.
Qi Wang was very direct, “So what? Is your butt something that cannot be seen?”
Song Yu: …
Are you still the ruthless arch-villain!
[Hahahahahaha!]
[Xiao Yu has a sense of powerlessness, like a scholar meeting a soldier!]
[But, coming back to the point, why is Qi Wang applying the medicine for Xiao Yu? Ban Jin or Ba Liang could do it, or even the young attendants who came along, or his Imperial Academy colleagues.]
[It must be to ask about tonight’s events.]
[…Do you even believe what you’re saying? Can’t he ask after applying the medicine?]
Exactly!
Can’t he ask after applying the medicine!
Song Yu strongly agreed!
“Hurry up, don’t waste time. I have things to deal with.” Qi Wang lost his patience. He simply took a step forward, sat down by Song Yu’s bed, and reached out to pull Song Yu’s pants.
[Mommy~ Am I about to see Xiao Yu’s butt?]
[Xiao Yu’s face is beautiful, so his butt must be plump and snow-white!]
[I want to touch it, I want to knead it, I want to…]
Want my foot!
Seeing those words flash by, Song Yu cursed inwardly.
Then he quickly pressed down on his precarious waistband.
He didn’t want the people behind those words to watch his butt.
“Ouch~”
His eyes moved quickly, he slapped his hand down, and then, a scream.
He was only thinking about his dignity and forgot about the injury on his butt. His hand landed directly on the wound.
Qi Wang heard his miserable cry, raised his hand, and slapped away the hand he reached out. Effortlessly, he gave a sharp tug—
Riiip!
He originally intended to pull off the pants.
Now it’s done.
Too much force, they were completely ripped apart.
Song Yu: …
The words: …
After a moment of silence, the words resumed—
[No! Why? The pants were ripped, so why is the butt censored!]
[Aaaahhhh! I want to see it, I don’t care!]
[Which idiot censored it for me! I’ll fight him! My nose was about to bleed, and the result is… this?]
[I know Xiao Yu’s butt is right in front of me, but I can’t see it. Do you know how painful that is!]
Song Yu was stunned.
Hey?
Can’t they see?
He was instantly delighted.
Qi Wang looked at Song Yu in disbelief, “You’re so happy that I ripped your pants off? What were you hoping for?”
[Huh?]
[I didn’t think Xiao Yu was this kind of Xiao Yu?]
[Likes forced action + violence?]
[Wow~]
Song Yu: !!!
The smile on his face instantly vanished. He quickly raised his hands to swear, “I’m not, I don’t!”
Qi Wang gave him a look that said, Do you think I believe you? He then looked at his butt.
He had instructed them beforehand. The few strikes weren’t heavy, but Song Yu was too fair-skinned with tender flesh. Even light strikes had caused swelling and redness.
Unscrewing the medicine bottle, Qi Wang’s long fingers scooped out a dollop of ointment and applied it to Song Yu’s wound.
The cool ointment immediately soothed the swelling and burning of Song Yu’s wound.
Since the pants were already ripped off, and it was too late now, Song Yu simply adopted the attitude of a dead pig not fearing boiling water. He resignedly lay there and closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind, ignoring the [Wow~] words.
“Your Highness~”
Song Yu called out, his voice slightly languid.
Qi Wang’s fingers, applying the ointment, paused slightly as he stared at the snow-white skin, “Hmm?”
“His Highness Prince Yu left Song Shian alive. Will Song Shian be unable to withstand interrogation and confess things about me? If he confesses about me, I…”
Qi Wang’s fingers, carrying the ointment, rubbed in circles on Song Yu’s butt as he applied it. “He won’t.”
Song Yu looked back at him.
Although he just said he completely trusted “Your Highness,” still—
Is he that certain?
“Song Shian is dead,” Qi Wang said coolly, without looking at him, as he applied the ointment.
Song Yu was startled and almost sat up, “Dead? When?”
“Lie still!” Qi Wang raised his hand and lightly slapped an uninjured spot on Song Yu.
It wasn’t heavy, but a ripple spread across the skin.
Song Yu was fine, but he quickly lay still again, his face still showing surprise as he looked back at Qi Wang, “How did he die? Wasn’t he just fine? Was the plank poisoned?”
Qi Wang stared at the spot he had slapped, which had just stopped trembling. His Adam’s apple bobbed a few times. He took a deep breath, and his fingers continued to apply the medicine. “Before he was taken away, I put something in his drink. Intense emotion would cause his liver and gallbladder to shatter.”
Even if they investigated, the cause of death would appear to be fright.
Song Yu was somewhat stunned.
Before he was even brought over, Song Shian’s death was already predetermined.
That is to say, when Qi Wang made the arrangements, he also factored in Song Yu.
He helped advance Song Yu’s revenge plan but didn’t put him in danger.
Otherwise, if Song Shian had confessed anything, Song Yu would have been arrested and interrogated to verify Song Shian’s words.
But Qi Wang was the one who caused Song Shian’s death, so Qi Wang also took a risk.
“Thank you, Your Highness,” Song Yu said very sincerely to Qi Wang, his eyes curved into crescents.
Qi Wang didn’t look at him, only replying indifferently, “I said that if you begged me, I would help you.”
Song Yu: !!!
Drat!
The image of him being cornered and begging him all the way in the carriage earlier today flashed back.
That terrifying position!
Song Yu’s cheeks flushed slightly. He felt a bit embarrassed, feeling that his own thoughts were dirty.
After speaking, Qi Wang casually placed the medicine bottle on the bed, stood up, wiped the ointment from his fingers with a cloth, and looked down at Song Yu, “Stay in your room tomorrow during the hunt. No matter what happens outside, do not go out.”
The lingering embarrassment in Song Yu’s mind instantly vanished. He looked up at Qi Wang.
Qi Wang bent down, pinched his lip, and turned to leave.
“Did he say anything?” As soon as Qi Wang came out, Ba Liang immediately approached.
Qi Wang looked at Ba Liang in confusion, “Say what?”
Ba Liang said, “Su Yunhe, Su Yunhe is still in the tent. Your Highness went in. Wasn’t it to interrogate him about Su Yunhe?”
Ban Jin: …
Heh~
He wouldn’t ask.
Keeping Su Yunhe around, he’ll eventually wait for Song Yu to come begging.
At that time…
