On the day of the free medical consultation, the warm sunlight poured down unreservedly, draping the entire world in a layer of glittering splendor. The sky was so clear that there was not a speck of impurity, resembling a deep blue gemstone or a vast, soft blue silk fabric that leisurely covered the vast expanse of the earth. Lin Yue was dressed in a light blue silk dress. The hem of the dress was like a lively ripple of water, gently swaying with each step she took, exuding a lively charm. The light pink silk ribbon tied around her waist was like a gorgeous cloud in spring, fluttering gently in the breeze, making her figure even more graceful, as if she were a fairy who had gracefully descended from a wonderland. Carrying a medicine box on her back and with a look of determination and confidence in her eyes, she stepped through the gates of the imperial palace together with other doctors.
The moment Lin Yue stepped into the imperial palace, it was as if she had stepped into a completely unfamiliar world. In front of her, towering palaces rose majestically from the ground. The vermilion palace walls stood tall, reaching up to the sky. Under the gentle caress of the sunlight, they exuded a solemn and majestic aura, as if whispering the supreme dignity of the royal family and the weight of history. The golden glazed tiles reflected a dazzling and resplendent light under the sunlight, like countless stars gathered together, so blinding that it made people dizzy. The overhanging eaves and brackets of the palaces were exquisitely carved, and every piece of decoration was truly a masterpiece of beauty. Those lifelike auspicious beasts either raised their heads as if about to take flight or glared angrily, as if they would leap out at any moment; the complex and magnificent patterns were delicate and smooth, all demonstrating the luxury and majesty of the royal family. Lin Yue couldn't help but marvel in her heart, and her steps involuntarily slowed down. She greedily looked at everything in front of her, trying to deeply imprint this stunning beauty in her heart as an eternal memory.
The venue for the free medical consultation was set in the courtyard in front of the Imperial Medical Office. At this time, there were already a large number of people here, and the palace maids and eunuchs who came for medical consultations kept coming in an endless stream like a tide. Lin Yue quickly opened her medicine box, arranged the medical instruments, and her eyes were focused and determined, as if she had automatically blocked out the surrounding hustle and bustle. She immediately devoted herself wholeheartedly to the diagnosis work, patiently and carefully inquiring about the condition of each patient. When facing the first palace maid who came for a medical consultation, Lin Yue said softly and gently, "Miss, is your diet regular on weekdays? How is your sleep? Have you had any worries in your heart recently?" The palace maid clearly did not expect to be treated so gently and was overwhelmed with gratitude. Her voice trembled slightly when she answered, and she carefully told Lin Yue about her situation one by one. Lin Yue listened attentively and nodded slightly. Then she gently lifted the palace maid's chin, carefully examined her tongue coating, and then steadily stretched out her fingers and placed them on the palace maid's wrist, concentrating on taking her pulse. With her solid and profound professional knowledge, Lin Yue calmly picked up the pen and wrote an accurate prescription on the prescription paper. At the same time, she didn't forget to gently remind the palace maid of the time, dosage, and various precautions for taking the medicine.
In front of Lin Yue, every patient felt an unprecedented sense of care and warmth. She not only paid attention to the illness itself but also took great notice of the subtle changes in the patients' emotions. When she encountered an eunuch who seemed depressed due to long-term insomnia, after writing the prescription, Lin Yue did not immediately let him leave. Instead, she gently comforted him, saying, "Eunuch, you don't have to worry too much. Your illness is not an incurable one. As long as you take the medicine on time and in the right amount and cooperate with appropriate relaxation, you will soon feel better. On weekdays, you might as well listen to some soothing music before going to bed or drink a cup of warm milk, which will help you fall asleep better." The eunuch's originally dull eyes instantly filled with gratitude. He repeatedly
thanked Lin Yue, and his eyes were full of trust and gratitude towards her.
"Miss, I wonder if you have a good prescription to treat my old illness?" A gentle and mellow male voice drifted over from behind Lin Yue. Hearing the sound, Lin Yue quickly turned around and saw a man dressed in magnificent clothes standing there quietly. He had an otherworldly temperament as if he was surrounded by a halo. The man had a handsome face, with his sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, his starry eyes deep and expressive, and under his straight nose, his lips were slightly raised in a faint smile. However, upon closer observation, one could find a trace of sickly fatigue in his eyes. Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly thought that with such an outstanding temperament, this person must not be an ordinary person. She immediately slightly curtsied and said politely, "Please have a seat, sir." Then, she gently stretched out her hand and placed her fingers on the man's wrist to take his pulse. As soon as she made contact, Lin Yue keenly detected that the man's pulse was weak and disordered, and this illness was rather complicated, definitely not an ordinary common disease. Lin Yue frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. Her mind quickly recalled various treatment methods for diseases and related knowledge points like a whirlwind.
After thinking for a while, Lin Yue picked up the pen and wrote a detailed prescription on the prescription paper. Then she raised her head and earnestly and carefully reminded him, "This medicine needs to be taken on time every day, and there must be no slightest slack. At the same time, sir, you also need to cooperate with moderate exercise. For example, you can take a leisurely walk in the garden in the morning, and it is advisable to walk for half an hour each time. In the afternoon, you can do some simple stretching exercises to promote the circulation of qi and blood. You also need to pay special attention to your diet. You must avoid spicy and greasy foods and eat more light and nourishing foods, such as Chinese yam, lotus seeds, and lily. These foods will help regulate your body and enhance your physique. If you keep this up, your illness will gradually improve." The man listened very carefully and nodded from time to time to show his agreement. His eyes were full of admiration and respect for Lin Yue.
"Miss, you have excellent medical skills and unique insights. I wonder who your teacher is?" the man asked curiously. Lin Yue smiled slightly, and her smile was gentle and charming, like a flower blooming in spring. She replied softly, "My father has some knowledge of medicine and has taught me carefully since I was a child. I only know a little bit." The man then talked with her with great interest for a few more words and asked her some questions about the treatment of diseases. Lin Yue answered all of them fluently, with clear thinking and profound insights. Every answer demonstrated her profound medical foundation. The man nodded in satisfaction, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, as if he had a deeper curiosity and desire to explore Lin Yue. Then he turned and left.
Lin Yue looked at the man's departing back, and a trace of doubt welled up in her heart. Who on earth was this man? Why did he have such an outstanding temperament? However, she didn't dwell on it too much and turned around to throw herself wholeheartedly into the busy free medical consultation work again, because in her opinion, treating every patient in front of her was the most important thing at the moment.
Lin Yue was completely unaware that this man was the current emperor, Li Yi. After Li Yi returned to the palace, Lin Yue's lively eyes, as if hiding a vast sea of stars, and her every frown and smile exuded a charming charm, as if there was an invisible force attracting him; her confident speech, with every word falling like pearls on a jade plate, was full of wisdom beyond the ordinary; and her miraculous and exquisite medical skills were deeply imprinted in his heart. Sitting on the dragon throne, although he was article in his hand, his thoughts were like a kite with a broken string, involuntarily drifting towards Lin Yue. His mind kept recalling her every frown and smile, savoring her unique insights into diseases, and he was full of curiosity and anticipation for her. He began to look forward to the next time he met her, and he even repeatedly imagined in his mind
that if he could talk to her again, he must learn more about her inner thoughts and deeply explore her unique medical concepts, as if there were endless treasures waiting for him to discover in Lin Yue.
