The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 6

Episode 6. Unprecedented Acquisition (1)

“Your Highness… are you really okay?”

The villa kitchen was emptied.

In the empty kitchen, Gardin swallowed dry saliva. Rakiel smiled at his question, unable to hide his nervousness.

“Hmm, are you still not relieved?”

“That’s right…”

“Yes. I won’t feel safe. This is definitely used for poison. is not it?”

“….”

The rich man Raquiel picked up.

Unlike before, the surface was full of hardened salt crystals. This was thanks to repeated pickling in salt water and drying in the sun over the past few days.

But Gardin never felt relieved.

No, to be honest? I was so anxious that I had been unable to sleep for the past few days with my toes curled.

‘If this continues, it won’t really be a big problem, right?’

I had an uneasy feeling from time to time.

Even if it seems like our Highness is very knowledgeable about that root. Even though Our Highness explained some strange terms. Our Highness swallows the root of that poisonous plant…

‘…No!’

It was dizzying just to imagine it. I felt like I could clearly see the tragedy that followed.

Our Highness drank a bowl of poison. Our Highness smiled as if it was okay. Our Highness coughed up blood…

“Zeueoeonha-!”

“Oh sir. It’s a surprise. What else? “What is it this time?”

“I’m sorry to come all the way here and say this, but can you please think again?”

“thought? “What are you thinking?”

“The root.”

“Yes, this. why?”

“No matter how much I think about it….”

“It’s okay. “I won’t die.”

“Zeueoeonhaa!”

“Uh oh. “My ears are falling off and I’m dying.”

Rachiel smiled bitterly.

He is a rich man who has completed the legal system and is groomed, and is about to brew a decoction. However, Lord Gardin, who had cooperated well so far, is now in an uproar. Of course, I could understand why this was happening.

‘I guess I’m still anxious.’

It wasn’t too much of a stretch. Rich people are definitely the ingredients for poison. It must be incredibly unsettling for Sir Gardin.

Rakiel cleared his throat.

“Lord Gardin.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Actually, I knew you would react like this, so I came up with a solution last night.”

“What do you mean by method? What is?”

“If I make medicine from this poisonous plant, would you be willing to try it before me?”

“of course.”

“….”

“majesty?”

“uh.”

“Why are you looking at me with those eyes….”

“Ah, I’m a bit surprised.”

Honestly, I was surprised.

I didn’t even know you could nod your head like that without even a second of hesitation.

Actually, I was just asking. Would you like to try the decoction before me? Why not check to see if it is toxic?

Wouldn’t Lord Gardin be relieved then? Wouldn’t it be helpful to make the herbal medicine? That’s what I thought and asked.

‘Well, I’m also checking Lord Gardin’s reaction.’

How faithful you are to yourself.

What a dedicated person he is.

I wanted to point it out.

There will be many things to rely on Lord Gardin for in the future.

‘But I really didn’t know you would nod your head like that without any hesitation.’

Honestly, I was a little surprised.

asked Sir Gardin.

“really? Are you going to drink the decoction first instead of me and check for toxicity?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“I’m serious?”

“of course.”

“….”

Those serious eyes. It’s real.

‘Whoa.’

I was a little embarrassed.

And I was grateful.

Rachiel secretly hid those feelings.

“good. Well, I guess I feel a little relieved now. is not it?”

“Yes, I feel a little relieved.”

Lord Gardin finally smiled slightly.

I was really relieved.

Even if the worst happens, it will be you, not the crown prince, who will suffer from the poison.

“okay. good. “From now on, just watch what I do.”

“I understand, Your Majesty.”

Sir Gardin took a step back.

Rakiel smiled faintly at that sir. I was surprised and grateful. Of course, regardless of my gratitude, I had no intention of giving Sir Gardin the decoction first.

‘Why are you feeding me that good food? I have to lick up every last drop.’

Such concession(?) is a request.

What happens after the decoction is finished? I’ll quickly slurp one shot before Sir Gardin even steps forward. That was the plan from the beginning.

‘Well, it was a success because Sir Gardin was fooled.’

Kyeong was shocked and did not stop him.

So what now?

It’s time to do what you planned.

‘Let me see.’

Rakiel looked around the kitchen. The kitchen was well-equipped with most of the items needed to prepare herbal medicine.

A glass bowl of appropriate size.

A rich person who has completed his legal education.

Trimmed ephedra.

Sesin (細辛), dried root of Jokduri plant.

From flowing spring water to freshly drawn clear water.

‘And the last thing to prepare is me.’

Rachiel took a deep breath.

In old literature, it has been said that three things should be done with sincerity when handling herbal medicine.

The sincerity of the clinician who prescribes and prescribes medicine. The sincerity of the guardian who dispenses medicine well. The sincerity of a patient who takes medicine without delay and with a trusting heart.

It was said that only when such sincerity comes together and plays its role can the herbal medicine do its job.

‘Now is the time when I have to do my part.’

Prescribe and decoction yourself, and even take a self-one shot.

‘Let’s do it.’

Rachiel, who had made up her mind, began to brew the decoction.

I put clear water and medicinal herbs in a glass bowl. At first, it was boiled once over a strong fire. Next, the overflow of the chemical solution was prevented with a weak fire.

And then it slowly boiled.

Until less than half of the water you initially poured remains.

As slowly as possible.

As consistently as possible.

Dalgo. Stay by my side.

When I’m having a hard time, I sit down and catch my breath.

Nevertheless, with both eyes wide open.

The fire was preserved.

In the end, over three hours.

Fortunately, I didn’t faint.

“…I did it.”

Rachiel laughed, suppressing dizziness.

The medicinal solution was properly dissolved. This was the completion of the Demon Emperor and Jaseshintang (麻黃附子細辛湯). But he didn’t relax. I waited for the residue from the boiled medicine in the glass bowl to settle. Then, I used a spatula to scoop up only the clear liquid at the top and put it into a glass.

Of course, I didn’t drink it right away.

He sat down on the floor.

And waited.

Maybe that was why.

I suddenly burst into laughter at the sight of Lord Gardin squirming next to me, watching what I was thinking.

“Lord Gardin. If you have something to say, say it. “Don’t just blink from the side.”

“Hey, Your Highness?”

“uh.”

“I don’t know if it’s okay for me to dare ask this question, but…”

“Yes.”

“It looks like you boiled all the medicine over there.”

“huh. so?”

“Can I drink it now?”

“no. “Not yet.”

Rakiel shook his head.

A look of anxiety appeared on Lord Gardin’s face.

“Your Highness, have you changed your mind? You said earlier that you would feed it to me first to test its toxicity…”

Sir Gardin’s face was colored with his own solemnity. Looking at that expression, I guess what I said earlier was true.

“her. really.”

Rachiel stopped laughing.

Sir Gardin still looks with firm determination. There was no lie in those eyes.

Rakiel felt reassured and sad at the same time.

‘Tsk tsk. This is why he died helplessly in the original, this guy.’

Gardin, the attending physician who remained by Crown Prince Rakiel’s side until the end in the original Demon Sword Emperor.

Originally, he was not a attending physician.

He was really the doctor’s assistant.

Still, it remained until the end.

And was executed.

The death of the crown prince he served.

This was the result of being questioned about responsibility for the death.

Honest, loyal, dependable, and loyal. He has no tricks and just plays his role innocently and loyally. I guess that’s the essence of someone named Gardin.

‘A person like this needs to do well.’

Recalling the vain end that Sir Gardin met in the original work, Rachiel felt his appetite grow bitter. In fact, there were many cases like this where people lived. It was no different in Korea.

‘It’s such a dream-like story that a person who faithfully and quietly fulfills his responsibilities is on the road to success. It’s so rare that it only happens occasionally and feels like something out of a fairy tale. In fact, there are many cases where people who are good at savvy live better.’

That was reality.

Sincerely and silently.

What if you live like that and only fulfill your responsibilities?

Because it just becomes a tail that is cut off silently and wordlessly. Like Gardin in the original, he just disappears into the dew on the execution ground.

Rachiel smiled bitterly.

“after. That’s it. “Why are people so extreme?”

“…yes?”

“They say it’s dangerous, so please test it yourself and don’t do that. “If it seems really dangerous, there are many other ways.”

“If there’s another way…”

“I guess you could at least try feeding it to frogs or mice.”

“ah…!”

“yes?”

“Then shall we catch the mouse right away?”

“…a little while later. “This decoction is originally meant to be cooled before drinking.”

“Yes?”

“Originally, you drink it cold. “The decoction that rich people put in.”

“Originally… you mean?”

“uh. So I’m waiting for it to cool down enough.”

“….”

“Why again? “I’m curious about what this time.”

“You just said originally….”

“….”

Oh no.

Rakiel spoke quickly.

“I saw it in my dream. These days, a wizard with the energy of a great sage comes to my dreams every night and teaches me how to use medicinal herbs and how to manage my health with acupuncture. Are you done?”

“In a dream… you mean?”

“You won’t believe it. But I think you will believe me. That’s why I’m only telling you. I’m warning you in advance, but you must know the scriptures. okay?”

“Oh, I understand, Your Highness.”

He said in a somewhat stern tone.

Sir Gardin lowered his head with a devastated face.

…Did what I tried to do work?

‘I have to be careful.’

Perhaps Gardin’s loyalty is not to this side but to ‘Crown Prince Rachiel’. So, this must be Crown Prince Rachiel.

But it was careless just now.

I heard you originally said that this is what oriental medicine is like. Rachiel looked at the decoction, thinking that she would have to be more careful next time. By that time, the glass had cooled down sufficiently.

‘good.’

I hope it works.

So I hope I can extend my life now.

Rachiel stretched out her hand, hoping and hoping.

Without giving Sir Gardin a chance to intervene.

I quickly picked up the slightly cooled glass.

I brought it to my mouth.

tilted

gulp!

“…Ugh!”

Sir Gardin’s startled sound.

I didn’t care and drank it in one go.

A sharp stabbing sensation in the esophagus.

It was that moment.

Ding dong!

A refreshing sound rang.

And….
