The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 226 Patient Recovery

After Lin Ruoxue got the king's approval, she immediately devoted herself to the preparations for treating the patient like a clockwork clock. She first made a list of the special medicinal materials needed, and every word on the list seemed to carry the patient's hope. Her fingers slid quickly on the paper, her eyes focused and determined, as if she was drawing a blueprint of life. Then, she sent people to various places to search for these precious medicinal materials. Every person sent out was like an arrow shot from her hand, rushing to all directions with a mission.

While waiting for the medicinal materials, Lin Ruoxue was not idle, but carefully prepared the silver needles for acupuncture. Those silver needles flickered slightly in the sun, like the twinkling stars in the night sky. Lin Ruoxue gently wiped each needle, her movements were gentle and delicate, as if she was stroking a precious treasure. Her eyes were focused and firm, and she had only one thought in her mind, that is, she must cure the patient and win this challenge for Nanyue State. Her fingers gently stroked the silver needles, feeling their texture and temperature, as if she was having a silent conversation with them.

Soon, the medicinal materials were collected one after another. Lin Ruoxue began to boil the medicine, and a corner of the palace was filled with a strong medicinal aroma. The medicinal aroma was like an invisible ribbon, floating in the air, making people feel relaxed and happy. Lin Ruoxue carefully controlled the heat, her eyes fixed on the medicine pot, as if she was guarding a precious treasure. She stirred the medicine pot from time to time, the stirring action was gentle and rhythmic, as if she was playing a beautiful piece of music. Sweat slid down her cheeks, but she was unaware of it. In her heart, there was only the patient and the medicine that was about to be boiled successfully.

Finally, the medicine was ready. Lin Ruoxue held the medicine bowl, which exuded a warm breath, as if it was the source of life. She came to the patient, who looked at her weakly, with both expectation and fear in his eyes. Lin Ruoxue said gently: "Don't be afraid, drink this medicine, and you will get better soon." Her voice was like a spring breeze, making people feel extremely warm and at ease. The patient nodded slightly and drank the medicine with difficulty. The medicine flowed down his throat, as if it was a warm current of life, injected into his body.

Then, Lin Ruoxue began to perform acupuncture. Her fingers flexibly inserted the silver needles accurately into the patient's acupuncture points, and each needle carried her hope and determination. Her movements were light and accurate, as if she was a skilled dancer dancing on the patient's body. As the silver needles fell, the patient's body trembled slightly, but gradually, his complexion began to improve and his breathing became stable. Lin Ruoxue's eyes were fixed on the patient, observing every subtle change in him, as if she was guarding a new life.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Lin Ruoxue stayed by the patient's side, observing his changes. Her eyes were full of concern and expectation, as if she was waiting for a miracle to happen. After several hours of hard work, the patient finally opened his eyes, and the light of life flashed in his eyes. That light was like the dawn, illuminating the entire palace.

There was a sudden cheer in the palace, and the ministers praised Lin Ruoxue's superb medical skills. Their eyes were full of admiration and praise, as if they were looking at a hero. The King of Nanyue was even more delighted. He stood up and said loudly: "Lin Ruoxue, you have won honor for my Nanyue Kingdom again. You are a hero of my Nanyue Kingdom." His voice was full of pride and joy, as if he was announcing a great victory.

The Dali envoy's face was livid, and his eyes were filled with resentment and anger. He had to admit that Lin Ruoxue's medical skills were indeed amazing, but he still felt resentful and secretly thought about how to embarrass the Nanyue Kingdom in the next challenge. He clenched his hands tightly together, as if suppressing his inner anger.

Lin Ruoxue was filled with joy and pride as she watched the patient recover. She knew that the challenge was not over yet, but she was ready to face it bravely no matter how many difficulties lay ahead. Her eyes flashed with determination, as if she was announcing her determination to the world.
