The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 237 Rejection of Reward

The atmosphere in the palace of Nanyue State was solemn and dignified. The king sat on the throne, looking at Lin Ruoxue and Qin Mufeng with a smile on his face. His eyes were full of admiration and satisfaction, as if he was looking at his most proud ministers. "Lin Ruoxue, Qin Mufeng, you two have made great contributions to Nanyue State in this crisis. I have decided to reward you greatly." The king's voice was loud and majestic, echoing in the palace.

The ministers showed envious looks, and their eyes swept back and forth between Lin Ruoxue and Qin Mufeng. They all knew that the king's reward must be very generous, and they couldn't help but secretly guess what kind of treasure it would be. However, Lin Ruoxue and Qin Mufeng looked at each other and had different ideas in their hearts. There was no trace of greed and desire in their eyes, only determination and indifference.

Lin Ruoxue took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, everything we do is for the people of Nanyue Country, not for rewards. Therefore, we cannot accept your Majesty's reward." Her voice was crisp and firm, like a clear spring in the mountains, flowing in everyone's heart. Lin Ruoxue's heart was full of love and responsibility for the people. She felt that everything she did was what she should do and did not need any reward.

Qin Mufeng also said: "Your Majesty, we only hope that Nanyue Kingdom can prosper and the people can live and work in peace. Rewards are not necessary." His eyes flashed with determination, as if he was swearing his loyalty and determination to the king. Qin Mufeng's heart was full of love for the country and care for the people. He felt that his efforts were worth it and did not need any material rewards.

The king was slightly stunned. He did not expect that they would refuse the reward. He felt a surge of admiration in his heart, but also a little confused. "You two have made such great contributions, but you do not want rewards. How can I feel at ease?" The king's voice was full of doubts and uneasiness. He felt that he had to give them some rewards to express his gratitude.

Lin Ruoxue said firmly: "Your Majesty, our original intention was not to reward. We are already satisfied to be able to contribute to the country and the people." Her eyes were full of sincerity and frankness, which moved people. Lin Ruoxue had no distracting thoughts in her heart. She just wanted to do something for the country and the people so that they could live a better life.

Qin Mufeng also nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty, we hope that Your Majesty can use these rewards to improve the lives of the people and make Nanyue Kingdom better." His voice was full of expectation and hope, as if he was painting a beautiful blueprint for the future of Nanyue Kingdom. Qin Mufeng's heart was full of longing for the future of the country and the people, and he felt that his efforts were all for this goal.

At this time, Minister A was filled with jealousy. He was originally dissatisfied with the favors that Lin Ruoxue and Qin Mufeng received, and now seeing them refuse the rewards, he felt that they were deliberately showing off. His heart was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, and he felt that he was outshined by them.

Minister A stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, these two are pretending to be noble. The reward is your Majesty's favor, how can they refuse it?" His voice was full of doubt and ridicule, which made people frown.

Lin Ruoxue glared at Minister A: "Don't judge others by your own standards. We really don't want to accept the reward." Her eyes were full of anger and disdain, as if she was looking at a shameless villain. Lin Ruoxue's heart was full of disgust and contempt for Minister A. She felt that he was a selfish person who didn't understand what true loyalty and dedication were.

Qin Mufeng also said bluntly: "Minister A, don't stir up trouble here. Our decision is for the future of Nanyue Country." His voice was full of majesty and anger, which made people feel awed. Qin Mufeng's heart was full of anger and dissatisfaction with Minister A. He felt that Minister A was a person who only knew how to be jealous and destructive, and did not understand what the real national interests were.

The king watched their argument and fell into deep thought. He knew the characters of Lin Ruoxue and Qin Mufeng, and understood their sincerity. He was moved and admired, but also dissatisfied with Minister A's behavior.

After thinking for a moment, the king said, "Okay, since you are so determined, I will respect your decision. But I will remember your achievements in my heart, and the people of Nanyue will always be grateful to you." The king's voice was full of determination and touching, which moved people. His eyes were full of admiration and respect for Lin Ruoxue and Qin Mufeng, as if he was looking at two heroes.

Lin Ruoxue and Qin Mufeng smiled with relief. They knew that their choice was correct. They demonstrated their noble character and loyalty to the country with their actions.
