Medicinal Spirits
episode 22: The beginning of a new gift

...episode 22...

...****************...

"Why can't I come in?! Move over!" The physician snapped at Merlyn who was preventing her from entering the crown prince's room.

"You...

Merlyn had not yet spoken, suddenly from the direction of the crown prince's room was seen eunuchs who suddenly came out with a panicked face.

"Miss, can you call a healer? Medicinal Spirit is unconscious." The eunuch told in haste.

"!"

Unmindful, Merlyn immediately twisted her body and then ran quickly to call the healer.

"?!"

"No! Obviously I'm here, but you're telling that strange woman to call another healer!" Tukas the physician was upset at the eunuch in front of him.

"Don't make a lot of noise!" Answer the eunuch flatly and then start to re-enter.

BRAKK.

"Akhh shit!" The doctor was still upset. It was clear that his pride was at stake right now. He actually felt defeated at a medicinal spirit who had suddenly come to the Xiao Empire.

Meanwhile, the parmacy only listened to the conditions and chose to be silent. He did not want to take the risk of only inviting the emperor's anger towards him.

"Stupid!" His mind glanced sharply at the healer beside him.

...****************...

In a guest room, Su Luxie was lying surrounded by the emperor, Merlyn, eunuch, parmacy Gu and also the crown prince.

After that incident, the crown prince's body did not even have any pain at all. Instead he felt that his body had just been reborn and had so much energy. Therefore he decided to come and see the condition of Su Luxie at that time.

Parmacy Gu was examining Su Luxie who was still unconscious. His face was filled with worry.

"What's going on?" Ask emperor.

"...Miss has lost a lot of mana. You could say he had exchanged his positive mana with the negative aura of the crown prince." Answer parmacy Gu.

"!"

"Negative aura?" The emperor turned to the crown prince and then looked back at Parmacy Gu.

"But why did he do that?" Ask emperor.

"That is the only way to bring the crown prince back to consciousness. By suppressing the negative aura with positive mana, then the crown prince could regain consciousness. It may sound very dangerous, but it won't have any adverse physical effects." It went on to explain the condition of the crown prince as well as Su Luxie.

"really?" Asked the crown prince suddenly just open his voice. He seemed not quite sure about Gu's parmacy remark considering that he had witnessed firsthand that Su Luxie had spewed out an awful lot of blood.

"...well there may be." Parmacy Gu's voice down.

"?!"

"?"

"He can't have an aura. His organs would be fatally damaged if he forced himself to absorb the aura and break through the cultivation level." Evidently.

"!"

"No! Miss, what are you doing?! You're taking too many risks!" Merlyn drew closer to Su Luxie and clasped tightly onto Su Luxie's hand. For some reason, he suddenly cried in silence and felt a very sad feeling.

Meanwhile, the Emperor and the crown prince lowered their heads in feeling a sense of guilt towards Su Luxie.

"How do I explain to her when she wakes up?" Emperor muttering.

Simultaneously, the crown prince walked up and out of the room along with his guilt. That cold and flat face slowly shrunk with annoyance.

"You don't deserve to sacrifice enough just for me, do you? What do you want!" He muttered flatly while continuing to walk.

Switch to Su Luxie's room. The emperor had already realized that the crown prince had walked out of the room.

He understood the guilt his son was experiencing. However, he decided to stay behind and look at Su Luxie's condition further.

Well..Want Anyhow, Su Luxie, who has healed his favorite son so that he faces a very big risk.

For a member of the royal family it may be a natural thing, that a people sacrifice for a member of the kingdom.

It would be considered the sacrifice of a hero. But it was different from the current emperor's view.

He thought that he should take full responsibility for the safety of someone who had already saved his son.

Especially when he saw the hidden face of Su Luxie. Oh come on, it's obvious that the girl in front of him is still a teenage girl.

He will not act so cruel. (Acts the same as other royal members.)

"How long will he be conscious?" Ask the emperor slowly.

"Maybe in 2 hours he'll be conscious. Relax, she is a Medicinal spirit. The body of a parmacy had its own privileges, so the emperor had nothing to worry about." Parmacy Gu smiled with a shady expression.

"Do your best for her." The emperor said and then left the room.

Parmacy Gu turned to Merlyn.

"We can't let the lady linger in the palace. In 5 hours, only 5 hours, through that limit you have to take the lady away from here" said Parmacy Gu, whispering slightly to Merlyn.

Merlyn nodded and decided to continue focusing on Su Luxie's condition back then.

"I go first, take good care of the lady." So, go ahead and start packing and leave the room.

Now, only Merlyn remained who faithfully accompanied Su Luxie. He tightly grasped Su Luxie's hand as he occasionally rubbed it.

"You've always been like this, taking too many risks!" Benak Merlyn while gluing Su Luxie's hand to her silence.

...****************...

The emperor's room, along with his eunuchs and ministers, was gathering for an impromptu meeting.

The atmosphere was so quiet without a single minister daring to speak, back then. The Emperor sighed and then said.

"Can anyone explain to me about this sudden encounter?" Asked the emperor with a flat intonation along with an indifferent expression.

How not, when he got the happy news, precisely these ministers asked for an impromptu meeting so that he was forced to return to work.

"....Prime Minister Ang reportedly died horribly along with his entire family." Answer one of the camp A.

"!"Both the emperor's eyes grew when he heard the sudden news.

"We need to find out who...

"I don't think we need to take this matter far enough." Sahut prime minister camp B who has been convoluted the talks of prime minister camp A.

"?!"

"What did you say?! Forgive your noble servant, but I think we need to find out more about the Ang family massacre." Obviously if the prime minister of the A camp does not accept the proposal of the prime minister of the B camp. It will cause them harm.

"Sorry servant spoke again, emperor. But if we examine the life of the prime minister of Ang, it is clearly due to a personal vendetta. We all know what the nature of the prime minister is. He was a pervert and made many losses to members of the nobility as well as the common people,"

"The Ang family is quite an influential family, but it can still be slaughtered by someone? What are those people like?! It will only cause us harm. The royal party will bear it, so I do not suggest if this matter is to be investigated." Said the prime minister from B camp in detail while glancing sharply at the prime minister of A camp.

The prime minister of the A camp seems to disagree with the opinion of Prime Minister B camp about his colleague. Well, it's common for someone to have different opinions, it's humane. But the emperor seemed more interested in the explanation of the B camp.

"Emperor, I admit that prime minister Ang has done enough harm, but he is someone who is also meritorious. So I beg you, please open the case and investigate." Said the prime minister of A camp while bowing and pleading.

The emperor could only sigh slowly and massage his forehead slowly.

"It's so complicated." The emperor muttered so slowly that it might not be heard by anyone.
