The Crown Prince That Sells Medicine Chapter 87
Episode 87 Bewitch Amboise (1)
“…Whew.”
Rachiel took a deep breath. It was difficult to shake off the emotional turmoil. I also shook my head vigorously once.
‘No way. no. Come to your senses, Lee Han. If you lose your cool like this, you’ll be in big trouble.’
He came to his senses.
He believed that cool-headedness was an essential virtue for medical professionals. I believed that you should not lose your composure in any situation. It was a natural thing.
‘It’s different from understanding and empathizing with the patient’s pain. As a medical professional, you must always maintain a cool head. ‘That is basic and a responsibility to the patient.’
Only then can you make quick and accurate judgments and responses in any emergency situation. In other words, whether a medical professional responds calmly can determine the life or death of a patient. Moreover, who is your patient now?
It was the emperor.
‘We’ve only just overcome a big hurdle. The future is more problematic. There are still many mountains to overcome.’
We have to watch the progress.
There is no guarantee that secondary or tertiary problems will not arise. We also need to look at the extent of aftereffects. A rehabilitation plan must be developed accordingly.
‘You just have to last a month like that. After that, if you call the archbishop again and write a divine blessing, complete recovery will be possible.’
Rachiel made plans for the future. I calmed down my agitated mind for a moment. The past was buried deep in my heart.
It was then.
A welcome sound rang in my ears.
Ding dong!
[You treated the patient through hypothermia therapy, accurate acupuncture, the use of effective Minotaur Hwangcheongsimwon, and dedicated care. Thanks to this, Patient: Asterion Testarossa Magentano has overcome the crisis, escaped from critical condition, and has been able to glimpse the hope of rehabilitation and recovery.] [
In the process of this treatment, you have become the first person in the history of the Laurasian continent to suffer from ‘reperfusion injury’. You presented the concept.]
[The concept of reperfusion injury that you proposed will be engraved in the medical textbooks of future generations.]
[The aspiring medical students of future generations will despair of the increased scope of the test and will blame you.]
[You are Laura . It left a meaningful mark on the medical history of the Continent of Asia.]
[Points earned.]
[121 GDP accumulated.]
[Currently held points (GDP) = 222]
[Lie tickets currently available for purchase = 2 Jang]
‘…huh?’
The corner of Rachiel’s mouth twitched from ear to ear. This was an unexpected reward. Thanks to this, I was able to purchase two lie tickets. I haven’t decided where to use it yet, but it will be a resource that will be useful at any time.
Rachiel returned to the emperor feeling happy, as if the price of the apartment in her name had doubled. The emperor was still sound asleep.
“Your Majesty saved your life.”
The chamberlain approached.
He said, crying.
“Can you see His Majesty’s face? You are back to your old self. “How on earth did you accomplish something like this? Your Majesty must be proud of you.”
“I think the same thing. “Today, Your Majesty saved Your Majesty and me.”
Following the chamberlain, the attending physician also quickly approached.
“That’s literally it. Your Majesty saved it. No, you saved your Majesty and me. Also, I realized: How incompetent a doctor I was, and how conceited and complacent I was… Through this incident…”
“Did you feel relieved?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Then it would be nice if you could also reduce that responsibility.”
“…yes?”
The attending doctor is looking at me with a blank face. She spoke to him as if she felt sorry for him.
“Your Majesty almost passed away. But what about that one? I couldn’t really figure out what the cause was. We were unable to show appropriate treatment and response. “Am I wrong?”
“That’s…”
“You’re incompetent. It’s true that I was complacent. Then what should I do? “You have to take responsibility, right?”
“majesty?”
“Stop making excuses. Let’s start with probation first. “Starting today, I will personally take care of your Majesty for the time being.”
“My Highness…?”
“Is there anything more to say?”
“….”
The doctor lowered his head. But Rachiel didn’t care. I thought it was best to do it this way.
‘In reality, this guy is so incompetent.’
I could not understand any of the signs of the emperor’s stroke. What if you had just figured it out? I wouldn’t have missed the golden hour last night. Appropriate measures could have prevented the progression of the stroke or minimized its aftereffects.
But this doctor couldn’t do a single one of them. Even after golden hour, the stroke was not identified. All they did was give him headache medicine and muscle paralysis reliever.
It was pathetic.
‘If it had stayed that way… the emperor would have 100% died.’
Just thinking about it made me dizzy. A person like this is the emperor’s personal physician. Moreover, there was more reason to pay interest.
‘I can’t trust him not only in terms of his abilities, but in other aspects as well.’
It reminded me of the blood clot I saw earlier. It was an abnormal blood clot with no fine lines. That means someone had a hand in the emperor. Either poison or other means. It was clear that rapid and abnormal blood clot formation had been artificially induced.
So it was.
‘The attending physician and the chamberlain. ‘I’ll have to suspect both of them first.’
It is highly likely that it was the work of someone nearby. So let’s be suspicious. Let’s look for evidence. Rachiel said, concentrating on her inner thoughts.
“Sir Passaro, the attending physician. First of all, you should stay calm and reflect on this mistake. Chamberlain? You are paying attention to control so that the news that something is wrong with His Majesty’s health does not spread. Let everyone else step down. “Your Majesty must maintain absolute stability.”
“I understand, Your Majesty.”
Everyone retreated one by one. Only Rachiel remained alone by the Emperor’s side.
“Whew…”
He was lost in thought as he looked at the emperor who was sleeping soundly. How will rehabilitation treatment proceed in the future? How will we find the culprit? The day passed by with many thoughts and concerns.
♣
The next day dawned.
During this time, the emperor opened his eyes a couple of times. Fortunately, no abnormal signs were seen. Thanks to this, Rachiel was able to get some rest last night.
But the sweet rest lasted until morning.
“majesty?”
“…Hmm.”
“Your Majesty?”
“…Ummmm.”
The chamberlain’s voice pierces my ears. Rachiel frowned. Is it already morning? I don’t think I got much sleep. It looks like he was monitoring the emperor’s condition all night long, but barely able to sleep until dawn.
‘Ugh, I’m tired.’
But we have to look at the emperor. Rachiel raised her head, rubbing her eyelids.
“Whew. “What’s going on?”
The chamberlain looked troubled.
“…Ah, because of what His Highness ordered yesterday.”
“What I ordered you to do?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“….”
What was there?
Rachiel shook off the drowsiness that had clung to her brain cells. At the edge of my scattered drowsiness, I caught the tail of memories that were running away.
“…Ah, did you do a good job controlling the entry into the imperial palace?”
“Of course, Your Highness.”
The chamberlain nodded.
“It was reported to the outside world that His Majesty was suffering from a bit of a bad cold and was taking a rest.”
“Who knows the truth?”
“Your Highness, me, and everyone else who was here yesterday.”
“okay. great job. But is there anything else to report now? “Your expression seemed a little dark from earlier.”
“Oh, that is….”
“Say it.”
Finally, the chamberlain took a deep breath.
“Actually, the ambassador of the Kingdom of Amboise has been requesting to see your Majesty since early morning.”
“Amboise’s line?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“….”
Rakiel closed his mouth.
Kingdom of Amboise. It’s a name you probably don’t know. No, it’s an extremely important name.
‘A kingdom boasting a short history of just over 150 years. It is causing a sensation as an emerging powerhouse. And a few years later….’
That gust grows into a typhoon. The banner of militaristic expansion is raised. It causes a great war. War engulfs the Magentano royal family. An empire with a thousand-year history collapsed under the Amboise dynasty. That was the main background story of the original novel Demon Sword Emperor.
“…But why is Amboise’s ambassador to Your Majesty?”
Rachiel asked, pondering the contents of the original novel. The chamberlain looked perplexed.
“The truth is… His Majesty personally summoned the ambassador from Amboise five days ago.”
“Your Majesty? directly?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“what brings you here?”
“It was because of what happened in the port of Cremo.”
“no way.”
“Did you guess?”
“Hmm.”
Rachiel frowned.
“The home country of Gwyneth, the colossus who competed with me for the Minotaur at the auction house in the port of Cremo, was the Kingdom of Amboise. Moreover, the Colossus did not properly manage the Minotaur he had purchased. As a result, there was an uproar. In response to that, I ran away to my home country alone without any compensation. “Did Your Majesty intend to take responsibility for that?”
“yes. “That is correct, Your Majesty.”
…also.
The chamberlain continued.
“Your Majesty was very angry when he heard the news. So, the ambassador from Amboise was officially summoned to hold the person responsible. The meeting date we had set was….”
“It is today.”
“…yes.”
The chamberlain lowered his head helplessly. Rachiel also clicked his tongue.
“Tsk tsk.”
I understand why the chamberlain had a perplexed expression, like a puppy that wants to poop.
“After hearing this, the situation is difficult. “I tried to summon an ambassador, but His Majesty is still in a position where he cannot move.”
“Yes, Your Highness. So, I would like to ask about measures.”
“It’s a countermeasure….”
“I think it would be easier to ask for the ambassador’s understanding and just send him back.”
“Just send it back?”
“Yes, Your Highness. “As has been reported throughout the palace, Your Majesty is recuperating from a cold. Why don’t we come and visit her?”
The chamberlain asked. But Rachiel did not answer hastily. Instead, I was furiously pounding the cerebral cortex of my head.
‘You’re just sending back the ambassador who was brought in to protest? That’s a bit of a waste. Moreover, if you cancel an official meeting between countries because of the cold… your justification is too weak. Even an excuse is not enough. They’ll also notice something strange.’
You will smell something unusual. It may be assumed that there is something wrong with the emperor’s health.
‘then no.’
It is a potential enemy country. This is an opponent with whom a major war could occur within a few years. But I didn’t want to show my weaknesses already. I didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
‘Because now the responsibility lies with the Amboise dynasty over there. But what if I just send it back today? I can’t call you again for the same reason. Of course, it will be impossible to hold them accountable.’
I called you to argue with you and then sent you back. What if I call you again? The shape doesn’t come out at all. It’s a bit awkward to even call it that. It didn’t seem like it would be a wise choice to send Amboise’s ambassador back now.
‘Then what should I do?’
Rachiel thought intensely.
On the other hand, I thought hard.
The original Demon Sword Emperor that he read. The story unfolds within it. Incidents that happened. Relationships between characters. I took out all those memories and laid them out. I built it into an elaborate and huge puzzle.
Then, the road slowly became visible. A plausible angle emerged. The big picture was drawn. A plan to make the most of the current situation was quickly developed. The conclusion is….
“I will meet the diplomatic ambassador of Amboise.”
“…yes?”
“I will conduct the meeting on your Majesty’s behalf.”
Was this declaration unexpected? Rakiel smiled brightly at the chamberlain, who looked shocked. And I thought to myself as I finished calculating.
Perhaps today’s situation is a golden opportunity given by heaven. If done well, the great war itself that would sweep the empire could be prevented.
‘This is something only I can do.’
The original story you know. Weapons that I could use. I was confident that it would be possible.
