The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 145 Tears and Comfort in the Night

The night was as dark as ink, with stars twinkling, and the lights in the imperial city gradually went out, but in this quiet night, a single lamp was still on in Lin Ruoxue's room. She sat in front of the window, holding tightly in her hand an exquisite jade pendant that Nangong Yi had once given her. It was a testimony of their love, but now it has become an unspeakable pain in her heart.

Lin Ruoxue's eyes kept replaying every moment she had spent with Nangong Yi. They had left laughter and joy in every corner of this imperial city, and had made eternal vows under this moon. However, now all this beauty has become a thing of the past, and her heart seemed to be hollowed out, leaving only endless emptiness and pain.

"Yi, are you really leaving me like this? Do all the vows we made to each other no longer count?" Lin Ruoxue's voice trembled, her eyes filled with confusion and reluctance.

She didn't understand why fate was so cruel and why her love had to endure such a test. Her heart was filled with longing for Nangong Yi and also filled with blame for herself.

"Did I do something wrong? Why did you abandon me and marry someone else?" Lin Ruoxue murmured to herself.

Lin Ruoxue's tears kept falling like pearls from a broken string. She tried to suppress her emotions, but the pain in her heart was like a flood, unstoppable. She pressed the jade pendant tightly against her chest, as if she could feel Nangong Yi's body temperature, as if he had never left.

"Why, why do you want to marry someone else?" Lin Ruoxue's voice echoed in the empty room, with a hint of despair.

"You said you would be with me forever, how could you break your promise?" Lin Ruoxue burst into tears.

Her heart was full of doubts and pain. She didn't understand why Nangong Yi betrayed their love and why he made her suffer such pain. Her tears soaked her clothes, and her heart seemed to die in these tears.

It was late at night, and Lin Ruoxue still couldn't fall asleep. She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with dull eyes, her heart filled with fear and anxiety about the future. She didn't know where her life would go without Nangong Yi, and how her future would be written.

"Maybe, I am destined to be alone all my life." Lin Ruoxue's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes flashed with despair.

"Without you, what's the meaning of my world?" Lin Ruoxue was sad.

Her heart was filled with self-doubt and denial, and she felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world. Her love and her dreams seemed to have vanished at this moment.

Just when Lin Ruoxue fell into deep despair, her good friend Liu Mei came to her side. Liu Mei's eyes were full of worry and sympathy. She gently held Lin Ruoxue's hand and tried to give her some comfort.

"Ruoxue, I know you are sad, but please believe that time will heal everything." Liu Mei's voice was soft but firm.

Lin Ruoxue held Liu Mei's hand tightly, with a trace of confusion in her eyes, "Mei'er, I don't know if I can get out of this shadow."

Liu Mei gently wiped Lin Ruoxue's tears and said softly: "Ruoxue, you can do it. You are a strong woman, you will definitely be able to get through this difficult time. It is Nangong Yi's loss that he does not know how to cherish you."

Lin Ruoxue sobbed and said, "But my heart hurts so much, I can't let him go."

Liu Mei comforted her, "Ruoxue, you can't keep going like this. You have to live for yourself. There is still a bright future waiting for you."

With Liu Mei's company and encouragement, Lin Ruoxue began to try to face her own heart and face this world without Nangong Yi. She knew that she needed to stand up bravely, for herself and for those who cared about her.
