episode 39: The crown prince's plan that riled the king up

the seconds, minutes, hours and days had passed very quickly.

One day had passed after the departure of Su Luxie and her family in eastern Xiao. After they said goodbye to Su Tiao, they immediately prepared for the departure to return home.

Su Luxie, Su An'yang and Merlyn were walking towards the harbor. With all the equipment, they sailed into the ship and ready to return to the land of birth.

Not waiting for a long time, the ship was immediately run. Meanwhile, Su Luxie and the others decided to rest on the room that was modified into a living room.

Su Luxie sat on the chair while looking at the note in her hand. His forehead always shriveled as he looked at the sheet by sheet of the note.

Before long, Merlyn came from the side while carrying a pigeon in her hand.

"Miss, there's news for you." Merlyn said, pulling a paper from the pigeon's leg.

Su Luxie turned her head and took the paper that Merlyn had passed to her.

"What letter?" Su Luxie muttered starting to open the letter.

For Miss Su..

...The situation in the Su residence was getting worse. As per what the lady has told us, we always keep an eye on the residence....

...Madam Su's circumstances still remained the same. He still vomited blood and his body took care of it....

...Does Miss Su want us to take action? We will do whatever the lady tells us....

Salam salute us,^^^^

Black one^^^^^^

"!"

Su Luxie showed a fairly relaxed reaction. He folded the paper back while looking at Merlyn.

"Well, we have to forgive him for now." Said Su Luxie with a forced smile.

"But, miss...?" Merlyn still looked clueless, why would Su Luxie even kindly want to forgive those people?!

"It's okay, at least for now..." Reply Su Luxie started to stand up and took out a glass bottle that was in the drawer of a closet.

Holding the glass bottle, he began to make a moment "because after happiness, sadness will come." His mind smiled cynically.

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

...Turning to the western Xiao empire....

In the private working room, the imperial family palace, the King and the crown prince were sitting together to discuss something.

There, the crown prince really looked serious when reading a rather thick book.

As for the king, he was still preoccupied with the files that always piled up.

"I will finish off the Su Family with my hands!" Said the crown prince with a flat tone and a cold look.

"!"

Uhuk..

After hearing the son's words, suddenly, the king suddenly coughed with his chest. His eyes grew with a gaping mouth

"A, dad, are you okay?" Asked the crown prince, starting to feel worried and approaching the king.

He took a glass of water and began to give it to the king. The king took the water and drank it immediately.

"Huh..." The king caught his breath after gulping down the drinking water.

"How are you, dad all right?" The crown prince asked still with a worried heart.

"A, I'm fine." The king replied.

"Thank God." The crown prince murmured, stroking his chest.

With the same look, the king started to look at the crown prince and then spoke

"Are you sure you're gonna finish them off?" Ask the king to his son who is still facing him.

After realizing the confusion of the son, the king began to speak

"Seeing from their cases, tend to show more cases of abuse of power. They only corrupt in the case of trade, which means that it does not involve taxes and imperial treasury."

"The heaviest punishment the imperial side could give them was only the confiscation of treasure, not judgment. So think about your intentions first." Obviously the king to the crown prince who faithfully listened to his explanation.

"Tumben once you stop me?! Normally he would be the first to support all of my decisions." The crown prince's mind could only nod.

He must do what his father ordered.

"As you wish, father." Answer the crown prince.

He returned to his place and read some notes that were still piled up on his desk.

While the king, could only look at his son with a wary look.

"What if my son still remains reckless to touch the Su family?! Oh come on, I'll be so ashamed of Miss Su about the incident." The king's mind while pursing his eyes. He felt dizzy in his head after hearing that intention of his son.

The crown prince glanced at the father with the tail of his eyes, "Thanks to that bastard family, father can't even dwell on imperial laws! If you want, I will finish off the Su family right now!" The crown prince's mind, suddenly became annoyed with his always cold demeanor.

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

"Uhukis... Uhuk..Haciuhh..." Su Luxie suddenly coughed and sneezed.

It drew the attention of Merlyn and Su An'yang who were asleep. They looked at Su Luxie who was not constantly sneezing.

"!"

"!"

Suddenly they walked over to Su Luxie with each one a worried expression.

"What's up?!" Asked them simultaneously so it was enough to shock Su Luxie.

"?" Su Luxie looked at them in turn.

"T, no." Answer grinned.

"Your brass is so bad! You need to be treated!" Said Su Anyang, grabbing a blanket for him to attach to Su Luxie.

"You don't fit in this weather condition, wear a blanket!" Next put a blanket on Su Luxie.

"But, mom...

"Merlyn, please make some warm tea for Luxie. He needs warmth now." Said Su An'yang interrupting Su Luxie's speech.

"!"

"All right, miss." Merlyn replied, Sigao began to run small towards the kitchen on the ship.

Su Luxie could only resign herself to their overprotective attitude towards her.

"You should pay more attention to your health, Luxie. You're a doctor, but your health isn't very good."

"You get a fever easily with your condition. Pay more attention and rest. Don't always work like this!" Said Su An'yang advising Su Luxie who was wailing while continuing to wipe her nose.

"Fast on this." Said Su An'yang extending a handkerchief to Su Luxie.

Su Luxie took the handkerchief "Thank you, mother." Su Luxie said with a smile

Before long, Merlyn came with a tray containing a small cup with a teapot. He placed the tray on the table and started pouring it for Su Luxie.

"Miss, drink." Merlyn said as she extended a teacup to Su Luxie.

Su An'yang helped Su Luxie to take the cup from Merlyn's hand

"Drink, it'll ease your flu." Said Su An'yang, who was still worried.

It could be seen clearly on his face. While continuing to look at Su Luxie who was sipping the tea bit by bit, she gently stroked Su Luxie's hair.

"Drink slowly." He muttered while smiling warmly.
