The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 229
Episode 229 Disease that only affects nobles (1)
“If Your Majesty gives me the opportunity, I will utilize the annex oriental medicine clinic and obtain a declaration of political support from the majority of nobles in the Imperial Noble House within three months.”
I screamed.
It was an answer calculated and prepared on the spot. It was also a crisis-overcoming message that would scare the emperor and prevent the closure of Oriental medicine clinics.
‘Please let it go. please.’
Rachiel chewed the inside of her lips. Although he seemed confident on the outside, he was actually anxious because he did not know how the emperor would accept the proposal.
‘You’re going to destroy the annex oriental medicine clinic. I’m really going crazy.’
That’s not possible.
What if you hear that?
Bonus life income is cut off.
‘We are growing it like a general hospital by hiring doctors and reorganizing the system… Are you telling us to stop here? ‘That’s nonsense.’
I didn’t have a headache, but my head was pounding.
To be honest, there have been some signs of this happening recently. It was like this all the way back with the Emperor, who ran all the way to Kranos. The emperor would nag me every time he saw me. As always, his attitude was unfriendly and harsh.
But even then, I could feel it. How anxious the emperor was. I was so anxious that something might go wrong. So, I expected that I would be tackled in some form when I returned to the imperial capital. Because there were signs of overprotection.
However, I had no idea that it would come out in such a way as to close down oriental medicine clinics.
‘Whew. This is too extreme. If you look closely, the emperor and these gentlemen also have no middle, so there is a middle.’
Rakiel swallowed a sigh.
It’s true.
Emperor Lee is quite extreme.
Before, they showed an almost herding attitude, as if they were throwing them out into the wild to survive on their own, but now they are trying to show the typical overprotective behavior of extreme parents.
‘That’s it. ‘Get rid of or get rid of everything that doesn’t seem to be of any help to your son’s studies or future.’
Get rid of the computer.
Confiscate your cell phone.
Ban TV.
In this way, they are trying to confine their children to a fence of overprotection and sublimate(?) them into study machines. Perhaps the order to close the annex oriental medicine clinic and take classes for successors has the same purpose.
So it was.
When I first heard that bombshell, I felt a fierce impulse. It was an impulse to use my right to lie.
But he quickly shook his head.
‘No. no. ‘You should really save it to use as a cheat when you find yourself at a dead end.’
We cannot waste it hastily like we did with Amboise. Even if he had left only one lie ticket at the time, he wouldn’t have been caught by Javilon and suffered a lot.
We can’t repeat that mistake this time.
‘So, I’m going to keep the one ticket I have right now for emergencies. First, I’ll try to break through with my capabilities.’
Rachiel looked at the emperor with determination.
Meanwhile, the emperor showed no reaction. It was like the incarnation of expressionlessness. But that was only for a moment.
“…her.”
A small smile like incontinence was etched on a face that was as dull as a statue of an emperor. It was an obvious snort.
‘what? Are you saying that you will obtain a declaration of political support from the majority of the nobles of the Imperial Noble House within three months?’
The emperor felt dumbfounded.
At first, I thought I heard wrong.
But it wasn’t.
This made it even more absurd.
Because that wasn’t as easy as it sounds. No, strictly speaking, it was almost impossible.
‘Are the nobles of the Noble House so thoughtless? Nonsense. What’s more, we are in a situation where the majority of people are still in ties with the second prince.’
It was true.
Unfortunately, Rakiel still had a weak political foundation. This was because the period of time spent in a sickly state was too long.
Of course, things have changed a bit recently.
He gained the upper hand in the confrontation with the 2nd prince. He proved his position. Through his activities in Amboise and other places, he is changing the views and perceptions of those around him.
But the problem was that the period was not long.
‘Many of the nobles still haven’t finished calculating. Because they are more thorough than anyone else in understanding their interests. Because that was the only secret to the power and survival they had enjoyed for generations.’
A clever political maneuver.
Artisans of tightrope walking.
The nobles were just that. This was especially true for families that survived and enjoyed power in the imperial capital, which was not even a local area. The noble world of the imperial capital was like a battlefield without a sword.
But a public declaration of political support?
There’s no way they would do something like that.
“That’s foolish. Do you think it is possible?”
impossible.
In fact, the competition for succession rights between Rachiel, Crown Prince Theodore, and the 2nd Prince has not yet been concluded. It is not over until one person finally sits on the throne. Either one of you could get sick and die, or what might happen to you. Because this is that kind of competition.
But even though no conclusion has been reached, will the nobles, who are more sensitive to tightrope walking than anyone else, hastily declare support for one side, as if taking a gamble?
no.
never.
What if he hastily declares that he will support Raquiel, but later on, after an unknown upheaval, the second prince suddenly becomes emperor?
That noble family will come to an end. At the very least, he will either resign from one position or lose his former power and spend his days watching in the corner.
But does this mean that his eldest son is showing hasty confidence because he could not even foresee such things? The Emperor looked at Rachiel with a feeling of clicking his tongue.
However, Rachiel’s attitude remained resolute.
“I think it is possible, Your Majesty.”
“I dare not even say affirmation.”
“It’s because there is a possibility of private eavesdropping.”
“It’s a possibility. which?”
“Here comes the trade secret.”
“…what?”
“I guess there’s nothing good for me by showing that card early.”
“You mean you want to prove it in the end?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. “I will clearly demonstrate how the villa oriental medicine clinic that Your Majesty ordered to be closed can become my political asset.”
The answer is clear and clear without saying a single word. In the end, the emperor nodded.
“good night. “If you really want it, I’ll give you a chance.”
“I am devastated.”
“What is a disaster?”
A snort flows again.
A sneaky laugh.
“Just try your best.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
With that answer, Rakiel retreated. The Emperor, who was soon alone, could not shake off his sneer and just stared at the seat where Rachiel was sitting.
‘Who on earth does that kid resemble to say such nonsense with such confidence?’
I didn’t understand.
Even the foolish crown prince who puts up a bet that he has no choice but to lose. Even though I thought I wouldn’t succeed, I ended up harboring a strange sense of anticipation. entire.
‘How on earth? ‘Are you saying I have such ridiculous expectations?’
A snort comes out again.
A deep sneer.
In fact, all of the emperor’s laughter was directed at himself. The son who gives me a strange sense of anticipation every time. He is still trying to beat up his son like that. He verbally criticizes his son for being foolish, but which one is really foolish?
“haha. “Hehehe.”
okay.
A son should be better than his father.
Wouldn’t the world develop only then?
The empty throne room was filled with the Emperor’s soft, satisfied smile.
?
“Zoooooooooooooooooo!”
I thought I would hear a shout like this. It would be a pity if I didn’t hear this sound before I even stepped on the threshold of the villa.
Rachiel unconsciously smiled bitterly and looked towards the place where the magnificent(?) shout was coming from. The main gate of Byeongung Oriental Medical Clinic. There was a man who kicked out of there and ran like a wild horse.
It was Sir Gardin, a handsome middle-aged man.
“majesty! Jeon haaaa… ah!”
Kwadangtang!
How happy and urgent it was. Sir Gardin, who was suddenly running, got twisted in his steps. I fell. He couldn’t show off a dramatic fall technique and just rolled around. He quickly got up, shook off the dust, and ran back.
“Your Majesty! “Are you safe?”
“…Uh, roughly?”
“I heard you were in a coma!”
“That’s right?”
“But why didn’t you call me? “I am your personal doctor!”
“Oh, because it was a coma?”
“….”
“How are you, Sir Gardin?”
“no. “I couldn’t last!”
“….”
“Did you miss me that much?”
“no. “Not at all!”
But contrary to what he said, Sir Gardin’s eyes were already moist. On the one hand, I could see the dark circles around his eyes. It seemed like there were some wrinkles around the corners of my eyes that weren’t there before.
“okay. “Thank you.”
You went through a lot of trouble protecting the Oriental Medicine Clinic while I was away. If I didn’t have such a faithful person, would I be able to leave the Oriental medicine clinic with the same peace of mind as I do now? Will I be able to go somewhere comfortably? no. It would be almost impossible.
“Anyway. “Has anything special happened so far?”
“Yes, Your Highness. “Compared to what Your Majesty went through, nothing that happened here would have been a big deal.”
“…Tsk. “Did I make you worry that much?”
“yes. Very definitely.”
“Sorry.”
“no.”
Sir Gardin smiled broadly. I remembered something from a month ago. It was the day that news of the incident that occurred in Kranos was delivered to the imperial capital. After that day, I couldn’t eat for almost five days. The food didn’t go down. It was because of guilt.
I had to force His Majesty that day. They shouldn’t have let me go to Kranos. If I were by your side right now, I could have tried anything. However, he says he stays comfortably here in the ecliptic.
I’m so sorry about that.
Because I feel like a sinner.
The whole world seemed gray. Nothing could be done. However, the worries were for naught and His Majesty returned safely. I felt like crying. However, he disciplined himself by saying that he was not allowed to show such a thing.
“Then your highness? “You must be tired since you came a long way. Shall I prepare a place for you to rest?”
For now, the health and fatigue management of my lord, the crown prince, are priorities. Sir Gardin asked, worried that the crown prince might be sick.
However, the answer that came back from the crown prince was unexpected.
“no. “First of all, the patients.”
“…yes?”
“There are probably some patients hospitalized while I was away. Let’s take a look at them first. And from tomorrow onwards, we have some work to do.”
“If it’s something you’re going to push forward with great effort…?”
“A grand banquet to be hosted in my name at the villa. “First prepare an invitation to send to all nobles of the Imperial Noble House.”
Rachiel said as if it was obvious.
And I thought it was natural.
If you are a noble of the imperial capital. If you are a middle-aged man who lives in affluent luxury. More than half of them are said to be suffering from the same type of common disease, the cause of which cannot be determined by the level of medical science here.
As long as you suffer from that disease, you will not be able to escape its magical power.
