The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine

The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 41

Episode 41 Villa Palace Oriental Medicine Clinic Open (1)

A day passed and the morning dawned.

“Mom, I’m here!”

This is an ordinary family home in Magenta City, the capital. The servant of the villa where the crown prince resides opened the entrance with a smile of joy. A middle-aged woman who was preparing breakfast inside was startled by his call.

“…son? Oh my goodness? “What are you doing today?”

“For some reason. “I went on vacation.”

“vacation?”

“yes.”

“Didn’t you say in the last letter you sent that your vacation would be next month?”

“Oh, that vacation is separate.”

“There’s a separate one?”

“yes. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave us a special leave this morning. “Five days!”

“Oh my god, what is going on? “Your Majesty, please be very generous.”

“I guess so?”

The servant grinned.

Eventually, the family members who heard the noise came down and welcomed him. Stories bloomed on the breakfast table.

“Well, Your Highness keeps doing strange things these days?”

“Is this a strange thing?”

“You keep offering to treat people.”

“diagnosis? “You mean like a doctor?”

“Your father.”

The attendant nodded.

“Like a doctor, like you said. He also treated me. “I once sprained my wrist badly.”

“It did. “You’ve had a hard time for a while.”

“Actually, I continued to feel stiff after that. Even if I overexert myself just a little bit or get tired, my wrist feels numb. But His Majesty looked at my wrist here and there…”

“Looked at it?”

“He told me to take off my shirt and lie down on the bed.”

“…what?”

“It was strange to me too. Still, I had to follow orders, so I lay down first. But Your Highness…”

“Your Highness?”

“He pulled out the porcupine thorns and stuck them in my wrists, the backs of my hands, and my shoulders.”

“Thorns? “Didn’t it hurt?”

“yes. Strangely enough.”

The servant continued speaking.

“What’s even more surprising is that after a few minutes, when I pulled out the thorn, the numbness in my wrist went away.”

“What do you mean… did you use magic?”

“I don’t know. But there was something else that was surprising. “It was three nights ago.”

“Three days ago?”

“yes. Do you remember the maid I told you about last time? “I’m a friend who said he was having a hard time because his younger brother was constantly possessed by an evil spirit.”

“Every time I remember. This father is acquainted with the child’s uncle. But why that child?”

“Three nights ago, His Highness treated that friend’s younger brother. Totally bud. “Clearly.”

“haha?”

The family’s eyes widened.

It’s absurd to say that he cured his son’s numb wrist with a thorn, but this time he cured a child who was possessed by an evil spirit.

“Have you ever performed a sacred ritual to drive out evil spirits?”

“no. He brought in a court wizard and had him shoot lightning magic on his back.”

“….”

“Withstanding that lightning magic, you stabbed a thorn in the child’s neck. Take a deep breath.”

“….”

“And then the eyes of the child who was about to be possessed by an evil spirit returned to normal.”

“…Is that real?”

“yes. “I saw it clearly with my own two eyes.”

“Hehehe.”

The family clicked their tongues. Could it be that the evil spirit was driven out with lightning magic? But even more surprising words came out of my son’s mouth.

“So, when this vacation is over, would you like your father to go to the villa with you?”

“Did you mean me?”

“yes. “You have a bad back.”

“But why?”

“I heard that His Highness is providing medical treatment. For free. He said that he takes care of everyone, regardless of their status or wealth, whether they are possessed by an evil spirit or are sick.”

“…Is that real?”

“yes.”

“How dare I go to a place like a villa without permission?”

“are you okay. Your Majesty personally asked me to pray for you. “Please spread the word around.”

“Heh heh heh heh.”

The family’s embarrassed laughter spread across the table. It wasn’t just something that happened in this ordinary house. At the same time, similar conversations were taking place in numerous places on the ecliptic.

“honey! “I’m on special vacation!”

“My daughter! “Mom is here!”

“Hey, are you sleeping around while your brother is on vacation? uh?”

It was like…

Servants, maids, and even guards working in the villa. Many people returned to their families under the name of ‘special vacation’. We had breakfast together with our family, whom we had met for the first time in a long time, and our conversation blossomed. And Crown Prince Rachiel’s recent antics were widely disseminated.

The crown prince started acting like a doctor. But they really know how to cure diseases. They said they would receive patients at the villa. They say they take care of anyone who is sick. Status and wealth won’t matter.

The news spread through word of mouth and gradually spread to every corner of the capital. Gradually, it started to become exaggerated.

“Did you hear that? “I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince saved a dying child?”

“Your Majesty the Crown Prince? “How?”

“Well, I heard the court wizard volunteered to use lightning magic with all his might and got hit.”

“No, why?”

“I don’t know that. Anyway, isn’t it amazing?”

“It certainly is. “It’s incredible.”

“yes? After all, the theory about the crown prince becoming king was not false.”

“A person who is fine even after being hit by a court wizard’s lightning magic… I’m fascinated…”

Various stories were exchanged in the streets of countless workplaces, stores, and construction tables.

A crown prince who took risks to save a child. The crown prince received lightning magic for the sake of a commoner’s child. Word of mouth begets word of mouth. The bigger the rumor, the more it spread.

Everything was just as Rakiel had intended.

‘Hehe hehe. ‘This is it!’

In the study of the villa, Rachiel smiled sinisterly.

Vagus nerve stimulation procedure to treat epilepsy. The villa family members who witnessed it were released(?) throughout the imperial capital under the pretext of a vacation.

Indeed, the effect was amazing.

Word of mouth spread day by day. Viral marketing was working properly. So what now? We will need to prepare for a full-fledged opening.

“So what about the things I told you? “Is everything going well?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Sir Gardin, who brought the news from the Imperial Capital, nodded.

“I am purchasing all the medicinal herbs you mentioned.”

“Licorice too?”

“We are securing that with special care.”

“okay. You’re doing great. You’ll need more than you think, so don’t miss a thing. “You have to stock up, even if it means hoarding.”

“I understand, Your Highness. But…”

“Hmm?”

“I know this question is presumptuous, but… Hmm, how did you learn these things?”

“These things?”

When I asked again, Sir Gardin hesitated, but answered with a genuine curiosity.

“I’m curious about everything, such as the way you heal painful joints by pricking them with thorns, or the way you prepare potions using an unfamiliar recipe… or the way you treated a child with lightning magic a few days ago… I’m curious about all of them.”

“As a doctor?”

“Yes, as a doctor, I am really curious.”

Sir Gardin nodded loudly. Could it be because of his mood that the pure desire that he could not hide was visible in the corner of his eyes?

“To be honest, I’m having a hard time sleeping these days. “I’m curious and amazed at the identity of the medical technique that Your Majesty suddenly began practicing, but no matter how much I think about it, I’m not sure what the principle is, and so I’m a little… upset.”

“….”

I feel upset.

I felt like I knew how it felt.

Myeongsaek is a doctor himself. He’s even the crown prince’s personal doctor. These were the days when his patient, the crown prince, was treating himself day after day. Moreover, he even rolled up his sleeves and said he would treat others.

But how helpless did you feel watching it from the sidelines? How pathetic I must have felt for not being able to even guess the principles of the medical techniques practiced here. I fully understood Sir Gardin’s feelings.

‘I would think that way too.’

Because we are the same medical professional.

I sympathized.

So it was.

“Actually, I’m from another world.”

“…yes?”

“My name used in that world was ‘Lee Han.’ I was an oriental medicine doctor who ran a small oriental medicine clinic in my neighborhood, but the oriental medicine clinic went out of business due to the coronavirus, so I came here. “The medical practice I practice these days is also an application of the oriental medicine that I learned and used back then.”

“…majesty?”

“uh.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve expressed my concerns sincerely.”

“huh. That’s why I took the time to tell you the truth.”

“I think I’ll be sad if you do this.”

“I think I’d be heartbroken if Kyung didn’t trust me.”

“…Zeueoeonhaa-!”

“Oh, Mr. really. Are you doing this on purpose to scare me? uh?”

“Can’t you just tell me honestly?”

“So you told me?”

“Don’t make fun of me.”

“I’m not making fun of you. But what are you going to do?”

“Of course… because I want to become a better doctor.”

“so?”

“I will save more people… I will take better care of you too… And again…”

“And again?”

“I want to feel rewarded.”

“Would you say it’s worthwhile?”

“Just like your highness when you treated Georges a few days ago. And just as His Majesty smiles these days whenever he examines the child’s details. As a doctor, I also want to feel that kind of reward. “I want to smile more while watching the person I care for get better.”

Gardin’s eyes became serious.

Rakiel grinned.

“You’re already doing that, right?”

“yes?”

“That’s it. “Let’s just do our work.”

…If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be as healthy as I am now. He said he came this far because Kyeong was always by his side and helping him.

I was about to say that but ended up saying that.

‘Wow. ‘I almost died of cringe.’

Rakiel quickly brushed off the chicken meat that was growing on her internal organs. We hastened to prepare for the opening of the Detached Oriental Medicine Clinic.

I had Sir Gardin secure various herbal medicines.

Fortunately, although the world was different, there were all the necessary herbs. Only the names were different, but most things were the same. Of course, it was not as widely used as in Korea.

Licorice, Gyeji (桂枝), Changjang (蒼朮), Baekchul (白朮), Ginseng (人蔘), Bokryeong (茯苓), Angelica (當歸), Cheongung (川芎), Ginger (生薑), Dermis (陳皮), Jisil (枳實), Hyeonggae (荊芥), Astragalus (黃芪), kudzu (葛根), peony (芍藥), etc. We were able to secure a sufficient quantity by sweeping the Hwangdo and nearby herbal medicine stores.

In the meantime, he also worked part time as a flyer. We selected servants with quick movements. I left the leaflets with them.

[(Gyeong) OPEN! (Congratulations)]

… were distributed throughout the capital and posted on numerous walls. And finally, the morning of the long-awaited opening day of the villa’s oriental medicine clinic dawned.

“Whew. “I’m nervous.”

Rakiel opened his eyes as soon as the morning sun rose. Actually, I didn’t sleep well all night.

I’m excited.

I’m looking forward to it.

On the other hand, I was also worried.

‘I promoted and prepared so hard, but what if no one comes?’

I guess because this is a villa. Because it is the palace where the crown prince resides. What if no one comes because people feel pressured? What if, from the day of opening, there are no patients and only flies fly?

‘Ugh, I think I’m going to get PTSD.’

I briefly remembered the time when Bukyung Oriental Medical Clinic went bankrupt in Korea. Rachiel shook off the goosebumps and stood up. I took a nervous step. I went to the window and opened the curtain.

Sigh-!

The entrance to the villa could be seen in the distance beyond the vast garden.

‘please. please.’

I hope it will be bustling with people who come there after hearing rumors or seeing flyers. He continued to look at the garden and the entrance to the villa, licking his lower lip.

10 minutes 20 minutes 30 minutes.

But also a spacious garden.

The entrance to the villa beyond that.

It was still quiet.

“….”

Guards patrolling as usual. And only servants who are busy tending and cleaning the garden come and go. Patients visiting the villa did not even have a nose in sight.

“…Tsk.”

Was the promotional effect small? Wasn’t it enough to relieve people’s burden?

It was disappointing.

A sigh came out of my mouth.

‘If I keep doing this, I’m leaving.’

Would it be better to set up a separate clinic in the capital city? Or should we go directly to the slums, even at the great risk of infection?

He stepped away from the window with growing concern. I changed my clothes with my worries growing stronger like boiled espresso.

I wanted to cool my head.

‘Let’s go for a walk.’

Problems must be identified and responded to. I promised myself not to be disappointed or despair, but to just walk and think.

So I left the bedroom. I passed through the hallway and came down the stairs. And then both eyes opened wide.

“…uh?”

The unexpected lobby hall on the first floor of the annex under the stairs. The place was bustling with people.

‘what is this.’

I was dazed at first.

Then I realized.

Ordinary clothes that do not fit into a not-so-glamorous villa. Someone is frowning as if it hurts somewhere. Someone else is being supported by their children. Lots of people of all kinds. Such people filled the lobby hall.

To put it in perspective, the number seemed to be around 2,300. Each person even had a paper number tag!

So, this situation is….

‘They came early in the morning and waited for me before I even looked out the window, like waiting in line at a famous restaurant before the sun rises? ‘These people?’

To get treatment from me?

‘Are these people…all my patients?’

Belated realization.

A big smile appeared on Rakiel’s face as she celebrated the opening of an oriental medicine clinic.
