Chapter 308 I'm Losing Weight
I took a deep breath, and then smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not dead yet." After finishing speaking, I sighed, "Nangong Hui, thank you."

He breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, it's good to be alive."

I nodded, "I'm just so sad."
"Whoever makes you sad, then you just don't make him feel better." Nangong Hui shrugged and smiled at me with squinting eyes.

I was slightly startled, looking at his smile, is he afraid that the world will not be chaotic?

"Blindly enduring sadness by myself, this is not the Zheng Yanran I know."

"Don't act like you know me very well." I curled my lips and distanced myself from him.

He smiled, the corner of his mouth raised not so kindly, "I'm not familiar with you, but it's just good enough to listen to what's on your mind."

Half a month later, I finally came back to life.
The preparations for the autumn election are about the same, the first thing I do when I get up is to go to Fengming Palace to say hello.

This time the Empress Dowager did not embarrass me, but received me very readily. She is in good health, but she has lost a lot of weight, and her complexion doesn't look that good.

I greeted her in a low voice, and she beckoned me to go forward.

The kindness on that face made it easy for me to misunderstand, but the me now is no longer the one I used to be, so even though I knew what she was doing was just superficial, I approached her with a respectful and docile face.

She took my hand, "Yanran, you've lost weight."

I lowered my head to hide my real expression, and replied, "Well, the emperor said that I look thinner and look better, and I've been losing weight these days."

She sighed softly, "Silly boy."
I'm not in the mood to listen to her fake sigh here, and asked her warmly, "Empress Dowager, about the autumn election, Yan Ran wants to do it herself, I wonder if it's possible?"

She was obviously taken aback, "But your body..."
