The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 178

Episode 178 Broken Transaction (2)

“I have one question for you. “Are you comfortable with your luggage?”

“…yes?”

“Do you feel like Jim is someone who listens to everything you ask for?”

“That’s…”

“Probably not. Probably not. “Isn’t that so?”

“….”

ruined.

This dad’s chance was ruined.

The emperor has not even asked for a favor yet, but he is striking an iron wall with such harsh eyes. I always feel like that guy is so quick-witted that he’s a fraud.

‘Well, that’s why it must have lasted for decades at the peak of imperial politics.’

I guess so.

Rachiel sighed softly and acknowledged the current situation(?). I was complacent. As expected, for that guy, Dad Chance is not a card to use easily.

So how?

‘Correct strategy.’

He changed his mindset. I tried to ask the orcs in the Kranosk region to order direct dealings with the Oriental Medicine Clinic in the villa, but I felt like if I simply asked for it, it wouldn’t work. So from now on….

“Your Majesty. Your Majesty probably wants me to gain more experience and grow by overcoming hardships and trials on my own. “Are you going to buy it for me?”

“Of course.”

The emperor smiled faintly, tapping his finger on the armrest of his office chair. But that smile was short-lived. He asked with stern eyes.

“But you know that well, so whenever something happens, you rush to ask Jim for a favor?”

“I’m just trying to make the most of the resources I have.”

“resource?”

“That is so, Your Majesty.”

Rachiel nodded. In times like this, it’s even more shameless. With the logic and way of thinking that an emperor or a nobleman would like.

“Isn’t His Majesty’s support also a card and resource that I can use?”

“It doesn’t seem like a card that can be easily used.”

“It’s also the most useful card I have.”

“That’s blatant.”

“It also means being honest.”

“okay? “How about being more honest?”

The emperor smiled meaningfully.

“Didn’t you come to pick me up because you needed licorice?”

“….”

also.

You know everything.

Rachiel was once again amazed at the emperor’s intelligence. But he didn’t show any signs of surprise. Instead, a more sly smile appeared on his lips.

“I will not deny it, Your Majesty.”

“okay?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. I need licorice. Therefore, we need your support.”

“I guess you are asking the orcs in the Kranosk region to make a deal with the villa.”

“You already guessed it.”

“enough.”

The emperor spoke as if he knew everything.

“The servants at the villa were busy all day. It is also said that he went around turning over all the medicine stores in the Imperial Capital. “You’ve been making such a fuss all day, how can Jim not know what you’re doing?”

“You speak as if you saw it yourself.”

“There is no place on the ecliptic that is not within reach of my eyes and ears.”

…Including you, of course.

Emperor Asterion swallowed his words. On the other hand, I thought about the reports I had received so far. It was about the crown prince touching the air alone or talking to himself while looking into the empty space.

At first, I just thought my son had developed an ugly habit. But that wasn’t the case as I continued to receive reports.

‘Sometimes… he said it felt like he was talking to his own heart or liver.’

He even said that it felt like he was talking to the internal organs in his stomach and receiving reports on the patient’s condition.

At first I thought it was a wrong report. But it wasn’t. Such reports continued to come in. Every time that happened, my head became confused. I had to worry. At the end, a conclusion was reached.

‘Perhaps this child is learning medical skills from organs such as his own heart through some strange coincidence.’

…Honestly, I can’t believe it.

This is an idea that only a crazy person would think of.

However, the more reports I receive about my son, the more certain this speculation becomes. It’s hard to believe, but I have no choice but to believe it. It was truly amazing.

How is such a strange thing possible? It was confusing. However, the emperor was not completely lost in confusion. Now, it doesn’t matter whether you can understand or not. What is important is that the son has acquired some mysterious ability.

It is 100 times, 1,000 times more important that things are changing and growing day by day through that opportunity.

So what now?

‘It may be time for quenching.’

The emperor reached a conclusion in his mind. Her eldest son, who may have gained an unknown talent. This guy is trying to do something again.

So what about yourself? We need to give him the opportunity to train himself to become stronger and tougher. That would be the path the emperor should take for the sake of succession.

The emperor made up his mind and opened his mouth.

“Your request to order the orcs in the Kranosk region to make a deal with the villa is rejected.”

“yes?”

My son’s eyes widen.

sorry. When I thought about the difficulties my son had to go through, I felt sorry.

But at the same time, I was excited. What will his son do in the face of difficulties he will face from now on? What other results will we achieve?

‘Be bigger. Only then will the subjects of the empire be more at peace on your shoulders.’

The emperor spoke with the mind of a blacksmith striking a famous sword.

“Didn’t you hear? “I said I would refuse your request.”

“What is the reason?”

“does not exist.”

“…yes?”

“Is there a law that says Jim has to grant your request just because you came looking for him? “Is there a reason for that?”

“….”

“However, in exchange for your refusal, Jim would like to grant you one thing.”

“What are you allowing?”

“I grant permission to travel to the Kranosk region.”

“….”

“At this point, I’ll assume you understand what I mean.”

“….”

Rakiel closed his mouth.

i get it. I understand the Emperor’s intentions very well.

‘I’m telling you to go directly to the Kranosk region and resolve the matter, rather than coming to him and asking for it.’

It’s obvious at this point.

I could also guess the reason.

‘That damn temper. ‘Oh.’

An emperor who will do anything to train his successor. I guess that nobleman’s special skills(?) were put on full display again. Thanks to this, Rakiel felt a cold shock welling up deep in her heart.

‘Isn’t this guy’s father’s chance successful every time he uses it?’

Now that I think about it, I’ve almost never been successful…except for the time I went into the royal palace to make ice galgeuntang. With this level of success, it is a batting average that cannot be used anywhere.

‘Life is real.’

What would you do if you were the crown prince?

I can’t even get support from the emperor.

Rachiel looked at the emperor, trying to muster up the mental strength to shout out the starting dream team. I completely gave up my intention to ask for a deal with the Orcs. Instead, since I had come this far, I thought of something to ask and confirm.

“I understand what your Majesty means. “But I have something else to ask you.”

“What else were you curious about?”

“Yes, that is…”

I looked left and right before speaking. No one is here. But someone is probably listening. Did the emperor also notice this sign?

“There is only a shadow of burden that is okay to hear, so tell me.”

…then willingly.

“I understand, Your Majesty. “How are things going regarding the pleural effusion that I told you about earlier, when your Majesty was given a poisonous pleural effusion that caused blood clots?”

“If that’s the case, we’re tracking it.”

“Have you figured it out yet?”

“To tell the truth, yes.”

The emperor’s nod became heavy.

Suddenly, I remembered the time when I collapsed. At first, I thought it was just a simple stroke. But no. Was it around the time when I was busy recovering? At that time, Rachiel told me a shocking truth.

Someone poisoned him. They said that’s why a blood clot occurred. It was from then on. Following his son’s advice, he began secretly investigating the pleural effusion. There was also a harvest of picking up some clues.

But that was it. There were no further traces or clues left.

“It’s hard to keep track of it. But one day, I will capture that wicked body, hang it on the wheel, and tear it to pieces, so don’t worry too much.”

“I understand, Your Majesty.”

Rachiel felt a little relieved. I asked just to confirm, but the emperor is still wary of the unknown beasts. That’s it.

‘Because that way you won’t get hit. Actually, I can’t even guess the identity of that evil beast.’

So I was anxious.

A vicious beast that assassinated the emperor. It was something that wasn’t even mentioned in the novel Demon Sword Emperor. But when I thought about it more, there was a bit of an eerie point.

‘In the novel Demon Sword Emperor, the emperor died of a stroke. In the novel, it was only described as a simple stroke, but what if it was actually the work of a vicious beast?’

But what if that wasn’t expressed in the novel? What if it was some kind of MacGuffin that the author tried to use as a piece of cake and then just discarded it?

‘Actually, if you think about it that way, the front and back fit together perfectly. ‘Maybe there was an evil spell in the novel, but it wasn’t revealed.’

And maybe even now they are trying to take the emperor’s life. If you think like that, you can never let down your guard. The emperor’s alertness must be stimulated periodically. That way you won’t get hurt.

‘Anyway, today’s goal is only half a success.’

The emperor’s attempt to raise awareness was a success.

Dad Chance failed.

‘Whoa.’

Rachiel withdrew from the emperor’s presence. Now that Dad Chance has failed, what needs to be done from now on becomes clear. As soon as he returned to the villa, he called the chamberlain.

“Prepare the carriage and the women’s clothing for the escort. The total number of participants is approximately 30. The destination is the Kranosk region.”

Now it was time to move directly to treat the granddaughter of the head of the store.

♣

The departure was quick.

Since the emperor’s permission was obtained, there was no need to waste time. All preparations for departure were completed before noon the next day. We set off right away.

“…Your Majesty?”

“huh?”

“Are you leaving me alone?”

Just as I was about to get into the carriage, I heard a crying sound. When I turned around, I saw Sir Gardin looking like a puppy under a telephone pole on a rainy day.

A bitter smile came out.

“What do you mean, leave it alone? “I’m leaving the most important work to you.”

“…yes?”

“While I am away, you will take responsibility for the annex oriental medicine clinic.”

“That’s true, but…”

“So, Kyeong is the vice director.”

“Yes?”

“I am officially appointing him.”

“….”

Sir Gardin closed his mouth. officially? Are you giving me the position of vice-director of Byeongung Oriental Medical Clinic? At first, I thought the crown prince was joking. But after listening, I realized it wasn’t true.

“You are in charge here while I am away. As the official vice-director, he has authority, including all personnel rights, related to the work of the Detached Oriental Medicine Clinic.”

“Is that really true?”

“Then, should I say this as a joke since I’m leaving on a long journey?”

The smile on Raquiel’s lips deepened.

“Because the Lord is the most trustworthy. So, don’t neglect the management of the oriental medicine clinic even for a moment. this much.”

With those words, Rachiel got into the carriage. I left the villa with Damian and his attendants, including Special Forces Guard head nurse Anis Urus.

Even then, Sir Gardin remained completely frozen.

“….”

I… The most reliable…

An unknown emotion welled up in Sir Gardin’s heart as he watched the carriage already moving a long way away.

After that, the carriage continued to roll. The hooves of the horses of the retinue and the hooves of Urus’ ox continued to pound the ground. It moved steadily northwest. The scenery passing by outside the carriage window changed slightly every day. The season is now fully spring, but the scenery outside is becoming more desolate day by day, as if time has gone backwards.

The flowers disappeared and the lush bushes became sparse. The warm spring breeze turned into a dry and cold wind. Before I knew it, a cold wasteland with hardly any trees to be found spread out endlessly.

Arrived in the Kranosk region.

After that, the group continued to walk faster. Entered Kranos, the central city of the Kranosk region. That was the base of the top of Tulun. As soon as I arrived in Kranos City, I went straight to the upper headquarters.

But unexpectedly, at the upper headquarters…

‘What is this?’

Finally arrived at the destination.

Rachiel, who was getting off the carriage to relieve her fatigue from the long-distance trip, had to frown at the unexpected event taking place in the upper headquarters building. I was able to realize it as soon as I saw it. The identity of that event was…

‘Why on earth is a funeral being held at the upper headquarters?’
