The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 39 Nangong Yi's Difficult Choice

The sky in the capital was gloomy, as if foreshadowing the coming of a storm. Nangong Yi stood in front of the window of the palace, looking at the scenery outside, his heart full of entanglement and helplessness.

As the third prince of Nanyue State, Nangong Yi has always been under heavy political pressure. Every decision he makes may affect the fate of the country and his own future. And now, he is facing an extremely difficult choice.

Since meeting Lin Ruoxue, Nangong Yi's heart has been occupied by this brave and intelligent woman. He loves Lin Ruoxue deeply and is willing to give everything for her. However, his identity and responsibilities force him to consider more factors.

Recently, the political situation in Nanyue State has become increasingly tense. The emperor's health is deteriorating, and the fights between the princes are becoming increasingly fierce. As one of the most powerful princes, Nangong Yi has naturally become the focus of everyone's attention.

At this critical moment, some ministers began to put pressure on Nangong Yi to give up his feelings for Lin Ruoxue and focus on fighting for the throne. They believed that Lin Ruoxue was just a concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, of low status, and was not worthy of Nangong Yi. Moreover, her reputation as a doctor might bring unnecessary trouble to Nangong Yi.

"Your Highness, you must make a choice. The throne or that woman?" a minister said seriously.

Nangong Yi stood in front of the palace window, looking at the prosperous capital outside, his heart full of contradictions. He knew that he could not easily give up the fight for the throne, because it was related to the future of the country and the well-being of the people. As a member of the royal family, he shouldered great responsibilities and missions, and he knew that every decision he made could affect the fate of the entire country.

However, he could not give up his feelings for Lin Ruoxue. Lin Ruoxue's intelligence, superb medical skills and her kind heart deeply attracted him. During the days with Lin Ruoxue, he felt unprecedented happiness and satisfaction. Lin Ruoxue not only became his confidant, but also the comfort of his soul.

Nangong Yi understood that the fight for the throne would be a long and difficult one, and he might lose a lot because of it, including the chance to spend time with Lin Ruoxue. He fell into deep thought, trying to find a way to fulfill his duty to the country while not disappointing his feelings for Lin Ruoxue. He knew that this would be one of the biggest challenges of his life.

"I can't give up Ruoxue. She is the most important person in my life." Nangong Yi said firmly.

However, the ministers did not give up. They continued to persuade Nangong Yi and even threatened him that if he did not give up Lin Ruoxue, he would lose their support.

Nangong Yi fell into a deep dilemma. He didn't know how to make a decision, and his heart was full of pain and struggle.

At night, Nangong Yi sat alone in the room, holding a glass of wine in his hand, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. He thought of every moment he had spent with Lin Ruoxue, and his heart was filled with warmth and happiness. However, he also knew that he could not ignore the interests of the country just for his own feelings.

"Ruoxue, what should I do?" Nangong Yi said to himself.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and a figure walked in. Nangong Yi raised his head and saw that it was his trusted guard.

"Your Highness, you can't hesitate any longer. The situation is very tense now, and you must make a decision," said the guard.

Nangong Yi sighed and said, "I know, but I really can't give up Ruoxue."

The guard was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, you can actually find a way to have the best of both worlds. You can first stabilize the ministers and continue to fight for the throne. At the same time, don't give up your feelings for Miss Lin. After you ascend the throne, find a way to protect her."

Nangong Yi listened to the guard's words and his heart moved. He thought this method might be feasible. However, he also knew that this would be a road full of challenges and difficulties.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. But I must protect Ruoxue." Nangong Yi said.
