The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 12 Nangong Yi falls in love at first sight

The streets of the capital were bustling with people. A gorgeous carriage drove slowly by, attracting everyone's attention. Sitting in the carriage was Nangong Yi, the third prince of Nanyue State. He had a handsome face, noble temperament, and a hint of majesty in his eyes.

Nangong Yi came to the capital this time to handle some government affairs. He sat in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the window, feeling a little bored. He was tired of the fighting and tedious affairs in the palace, and longed to find some peace and freedom.

The carriage suddenly stopped, and Nangong Yi frowned slightly. He opened the curtain and asked, "What happened?"

The driver replied, "Your Highness, there is a woman treating a patient in front. People are watching, so the carriage cannot move forward."

Nangong Yi's heart moved. He had always been interested in medicine. He decided to get off the car and go see the woman.

When Nangong Yi approached the crowd, he saw a beautiful woman. The woman was wearing a white dress, with long hair falling on her shoulders like a waterfall. Her eyes were focused and determined, and she was holding some herbs in her hands, treating the patient.

Nangong Yi was attracted by the woman's beauty and concentration. He stood quietly by and watched the woman treat the patient. He found that the woman's medical skills were very advanced, her movements were skillful and accurate, and every step was full of confidence.

Lin Ruoxue did not notice Nangong Yi's presence. She was concentrating on treating the patient, with only one thought in her mind, which was to cure the patient as soon as possible. After some efforts, the patient's condition was finally under control.

Lin Ruoxue stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She looked at the people around her, feeling a sense of accomplishment. She knew that she had successfully saved another person.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a burning gaze falling on her. She raised her head and saw a handsome man. The man's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation and admiration, which made her feel strange.

Nangong Yi looked at Lin Ruoxue, smiled slightly, and said: "The young lady's medical skills are really superb, which makes people admire her."

Lin Ruoxue was slightly stunned. She didn't expect someone to praise her. She looked at Nangong Yi and said, "Sir, you are too kind. I just did my part."

Nangong Yi looked at Lin Ruoxue, his heart full of curiosity. He asked: "Where is the girl from? Why do you have such great medical skills?"

Lin Ruoxue hesitated for a moment and said, "I am Lin Ruoxue, the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I accidentally saw some medical books in the firewood room, and I taught myself some medical skills."

Nangong Yi nodded and said, "I see. The young lady is really smart. I wonder if the young lady is married?"

Lin Ruoxue blushed slightly. She didn't expect Nangong Yi to ask such a question. She said, "Sir, you are joking. I am not married yet."

Nangong Yi was delighted. He looked at Lin Ruoxue and said, "You are so beautiful and intelligent, and your medical skills are so great. I wonder if you are willing to be my friend?"

Lin Ruoxue looked at Nangong Yi, feeling a little hesitant. She didn't know the man's identity and purpose, but she was moved by his sincerity. She thought for a moment and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Since you are so sincere, I will make friends with you."

Nangong Yi was very happy after hearing this. He looked at Lin Ruoxue and said, "Miss, you are really straightforward. It is my honor to meet you today. I wonder if you have time. How about we go have a cup of tea together?"

Lin Ruoxue hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, I would be disrespectful to refuse your kind invitation. Then please lead the way."

Nangong Yi brought Lin Ruoxue to a teahouse. They sat by the window, drinking tea and chatting. Nangong Yi told Lin Ruoxue about some of his experiences and stories, and Lin Ruoxue also shared some of her thoughts and feelings with Nangong Yi. There were more and more topics between them, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious.

During this process, Nangong Yi's affection for Lin Ruoxue grew deeper and deeper. He found that Lin Ruoxue was not only beautiful and intelligent, but also kind and brave. He admired her medical skills and moral character. He knew that he had fallen in love with this woman.
