After Zhou Yi mastered the secret technique, he applied True Qi to massage Empress Xia.
A month passed.
The originally pale-faced Empress Xia gradually regained some rosiness, and the minor internal congestion that had plagued her also completely disappeared.
On this day.
Zhou Yi fed Empress Xia her meal, carefully wiping clean the remnants around her mouth.
True Qi circulated, entering Empress Xia's body, following the meridian pathways recorded in the massage secret technique, running a complete cycle, and some light yellow impurities surfaced on her skin.
"Your Highness, let me wipe your body for you."
Zhou Yi took a clean towel, soaked it with warm water, and then meticulously cleaned Empress Xia.
Eunuchs are neither male nor female and do not interfere in familial relations, so the Emperor does not avoid them during intimate acts with his consorts, hence this matter also breaches no taboos.
After tidying up, Zhou Yi was about to leave.
