Medicinal Spirits
episode 24: Su Luxie's personal letter to the emperor
Su Luxie and Merlyn were already preparing to leave the palace. They put on their robes and their masks. Now the two of them were walking on the corridor accompanied by the 5 servants earlier.
The 5 servants faithfully followed in the footsteps of Su Luxie and Merlyn who were walking behind them.
"Why should we follow them?!" Whisper one of the servants who was at the very back between the rows.
"Shutts! The Emperor has told us that we should serve these guests as much as possible. Don't complain too much!" Replied the waiter in front of the waiter who was asking earlier in a whisper and glanced slightly at Su Luxie.
"But who are they?" he said he kept asking.
"I don't know, stop asking!" Answer the waiter in front of him tightly and then look ahead.
They stopped whispering and chose to remain silent while following Su Luxie and Merlyn's steps.
If you ask if Su Luxie and Merlyn heard the whispers from the servants, the answer is, yes.
Even Su Luxie could hear very clearly from the intonation of speaking the two maids. But again he did not want to take a headache and preferred to be quiet while walking towards the outside of Xiao's palace.
...****************...
...The emperor's private room...
Holding a piece of paper in his hand, the emperor showed a puzzled facial expression. I don't know what he was thinking so it made such a confused expression.
Fill mail.
...Long live the emperor, long live and blessed....
...Earlier I wanted to apologize for having to leave the palace without saluting you first....
...I also want to thank you for taking care of me so well, as the host....
...Now back to the core issue, if you'd like, could you keep my face and my whereabouts just returned from the imperial palace....
...I have a special reason for that, so I hope your Majesty can cooperate with this people of yours....
...If you're so curious as to who I really am, I'll give you my identity. I am a member of the Su family named Su Luxie....
...I hope your curiosity stops there. And I also hope you keep this secret about my identity....
...Call me if you need anything, I will come to your aid....
...Just get here. May you be happy and healthy always....
^^^Su Luxie^^^
That's how the letter is. The emperor could only remain silent while whispering in his heart.
"Luxie Su? Su Family?" His mind was like thinking about something
"By leaking your identity, you are indirectly asking for support from me, right? This girl is very cunning. I love the nature of this girl." He continued to whisper in his heart while covering his smile.
After reading the contents of the letter, he also began to bring the paper closer to a candle that was burning. Slowly, the letter was consumed by the fire and fell on the floor. The emperor could only lament the burning letter being devoured by the fire.
...****************...
On the way, Su Luxie and Merlyn were riding on a horse carriage that would take them back to the Su residence.
They had clearly removed all the attributes of their robes and masks, given that they were going home with the identities of being Su family and servants.
Su Luxie glanced at Merlyn then replied "No need. Just sell it to the nobleman who argued with you back then, I think he really wanted that casino." Answer Su Luxie.
"?"
"But it wasn't the lady who told me to win the auction, so I thought the lady wanted to..." Merlyn looked confused. He looked at Su Luxie with his flat face. Well like whatever the condition of Merlyn's heart, mimic her face will always be flat like a canoebo.
"I changed my mind. After some thought opening a casino will only make a loss on us. Casinos were not very legal in the Xiao empire. I don't want to take any chances." Answer Su Luxie.
Well, it is true that the casino is not very legal in this Xiao empire. Casinos are usually places for people to gamble and get drunk.
There are many ordinary people who come there with the hope of getting a profit. However, they did not know the cunning wits played by the nobles. Instead of making a profit, they get a loss. Not lucky to be lucky! That's what the saying goes.
Merlyn was silent for a moment while thinking about the reason why Su Luxie suddenly did not want the casino. He was very understanding, abstaining for Su Luxie to make a very risky venture for him.
"Then, what are you gonna do next?" Ask Merlyn.
"none. We're just going to focus on the business we're in right now." Answer Su Luxie.
"Didn't you want to be an investor in that casino?" Merlyn asked still with her puzzled expression.
"Why invest in a business that will go bankrupt?!" Said Su Luxie a little annoyed at Merlyn who still still did not understand the small business.
"...well, you're right." It was Merlyn who had started to understand the direction of Su Luxie's conversation.
"Oh, right too. I'll open a drug clinic on behalf of Medicinal Spirit. Please buy a kiosk. Come to think of it, helping people with my status as a medical spirit would be great, wouldn't it?" He said with a happy expression.
"!"
"...miss, I don't think Parmacy Gu will approve of your plan." Merlyn said after hearing Su Luxie's plan to open a drug clinic on behalf of the Medicinal Spirit that had shocked the Xiao empire recently.
"Just calm down, he would agree. I guarantee you." Su Luxie said with her laugh that was so crisp.
"alright. I'll find a stall for you."
"But lady, there's something I want to ask you."
"?"
Su Luxie tilted her head in confusion at something Merlyn would ask.
"What?" Said Su Luxie.
"You already have power, even you can dominate the Xiao empire, but why did you decide to remain in the Su residence? They've treated you like a servant, they look down on your little family, so..." Merlyn spoke with a low voice. Seen a sadness both green netra hers.
"A new game is about to start, Merlyn. No need to rush. You just need to enjoy every move I've prepared for a long time." Su Luxie replied with a faint smile she said as if she had prepared a very mature plan.
"?"
"Re, plan?"
"Well, you'll know what will happen to those greedy pigs!" Mumbled Su Luxie.
"So Merlyn, let's eat your father with me."
"Bapao?"
