Chapter 482: Chapter 482

In fact, Rong Heng increasingly felt that his original decision was correct, and he also thought that trading the Jade Seal for such a treasure was not a loss for him.

At the same time, his trust in her was growing at an enviable rate, just like Qingfeng and Mingyue.

In the past, Rong Heng never had maids attending to him, but now it was different; even grinding tasks were to be performed by Tangyuan’s attentive care.

Tangyuan, attending to them daily, looking after their three meals a day, as well as clothing and travel, was already busy enough. Yet, their master always liked to call Tangyuan over during work hours under the guise of grinding, when in fact, he was specifically seeking her advice on issues.

Such a humble attitude of learning from others was admired by Tangyuan. He was an open and upright man, and the more she interacted with him, the more she discovered his charisma. He never hid his weaknesses; if he didn’t know, he simply didn’t pretend to understand. But if he didn’t know, he could learn. Once learned, wouldn’t it become his own?

It was precisely for this reason that Tangyuan came to admire Prince Heng, who could be flexible and adaptable.

Because Tangyuan had previously instructed them to be aware of epidemics following the flood, but no one took it seriously. Now, with the epidemic rampant, they regretted not taking her advice and realized how capable these people in power were. Therefore, when Prince Heng issued orders again, demanding full support from the officials, no one dared to act out of self-importance or to slack off.

Particularly as the Emperor had already informed everyone of his high regard and rewards for Prince Heng through official letters, these self-interested officials naturally did not dare to offend Prince Heng, and consequently, they treated her with much more respect.

When her weight reduced to one hundred and thirty-five jin, it seemed to hit a limit and wouldn’t decrease any further, as if the flesh on her body had reached its lowest point.

Despite this, she didn’t get discouraged but continued to persist daily with swimming, yoga, running, farming, and adhering to a healthy science-based diet. Today, although she found it difficult to lose more weight, she felt her body becoming firmer and her organs, having slimmed down, were gradually entering a period of recovery. This meant she was continuously improving and becoming more beautiful.

It must be said that the original body’s facial features were indeed very beautiful, especially the skin, smooth and delicate like the shell of a peeled egg, fair and healthy.

It had been said before that every person carrying extra weight had potential, and if they could lose that weight, they were definitely not to be underestimated.

Now, she no longer deliberately focused on losing weight, but her long-term discipline over the past six months had formed regular habits. With time, how could she not continue to slim down? ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelFɪre.net

There’s a common saying, "Watch your diet and move your legs"—isn’t that the essence of it?

The epidemic period was quite lengthy, and managing it to ensure it was no longer contagious was even more challenging. Thus, again during this year’s Spring Festival, he chose to stay outside.

Once Rong Heng had mastered the key to controlling the epidemic himself, Tangyuan no longer needed to run around with him. Just when Tangyuan thought she could relax at the hostel, preparing their daily meals, Rong Heng suddenly informed her, "The Empress Dowager of Dongru Country has passed away..."

Tangyuan doubted her own hearing for a moment, "What did you say? Say it again!"

"The Empress Dowager of Dongru Country has died..."

Tangyuan’s expression immediately turned solemn, "How could this happen so suddenly?"

Rong Heng shook his head, "No, it’s not sudden at all. In fact, after you left, she was placed under house arrest by Ning Xu. To secure his throne, Ning Xu did not hesitate to collude with Xigu Country, scheming against the Empress Dowager’s family’s National Guardian General Mansion, causing their downfall..."
