The female anchor turned into the dean of an ancient academy

Chapter 255: Recuperating the Queen

"My appetite isn't very good either. All the dishes that I used to enjoy eating are now tasteless to me. I feel nauseous when I see those greasy things." He Yunshu continued, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"I can't sleep well at night. I always have nightmares and dream about terrible things. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall asleep again." He Yunshu's voice became lower and lower, as if he was telling about his unspeakable difficulties.

As she spoke, her eyes couldn't help but turn red again, and tears welled up in her eyes.

He Yunshu choked up and said, "The imperial physician said it was due to insufficient Qi and blood, and prescribed a lot of tonics for me, including ginseng and deer antlers, and whatever was expensive. But after taking so many medicines, my health still hasn't improved..."

"I often feel anxious and short of breath, especially when there are many people around. I feel like I can't breathe and need to find a quiet place to slowly recover." She added as if she suddenly remembered something.

Looking at the poor queen before her, Cen Jiexiao felt a surge of sympathy. She decided to start by improving He Yunshu's physical condition and develop a conditioning plan for her.

"Empress, don't lose heart. Your condition is not incurable, it's just that you may be using the wrong method." Cen Jiexiao comforted her, her tone firm and powerful, as if to cheer up He Yunshu.

"How about this, you just do as I say and try to recuperate for a while." As Cen Jiexiao spoke, she took out a pen and paper from her bag and wrote something.

"I'm a good friend of Dr. Liu Renxin from Pujitang. She's also an expert in difficult gynecological cases. Let's discuss this together and develop a special nursing plan for you, Madam."

Cen Jiexiao paused and her tone became more serious.

"At the same time, from now on, everything used by the Empress, including food, medicine, and even daily necessities, must be personally inspected by us or someone you trust. There must be no mistakes!"

He Yunshu held Cen Jiexiao's hand tightly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"President Cen, tell me what you want. I will do whatever you say. As long as I can bear His Majesty's child, I will do anything you ask!"

Cen Jiexiao smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. As long as you do as I say, there should be good news soon."

She paused, organized her thoughts, and then began to patiently explain some health care knowledge to He Yunshu.

"Your Majesty, you see, maintaining good health is like the roots of a great tree. Only when the roots are solid can the tree flourish and bear fruit." Cen Jiexiao said as she picked up a piece of cake on the table and gestured, "Pregnancy and childbirth are like the fruit on this tree. If you want the fruit to be full and sweet, you can't neglect this foundation."

He Yunshu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and agreed deeply with what Cen Jiexiao said.

Cen Jiexiao continued, "Your Majesty, please pay attention to a balanced diet. Avoid overeating and being picky about your food. Eat more foods that nourish your qi and blood, such as red dates, longan, donkey-hide gelatin, etc."

"Yes, I've taken note of it." He Yunshu answered seriously.

"In addition to diet, exercise is also very important." Cen Jiexiao continued, "Your Majesty, you can go out for a walk more often, breathe some fresh air, and do some relaxing exercises. These will help regulate your qi and blood and strengthen your physical fitness."

"I've asked someone to accompany me for a walk before, but I felt tired after just a few steps. The imperial physician also said that I'm weak and not suitable for overwork." He Yunshu said with some embarrassment.

"That's because you, Your Majesty, haven't found a suitable way to exercise before, such as walking, skipping rope, radio gymnastics, etc. Don't worry, I will develop a suitable exercise plan for you based on your physical condition, step by step, and slowly, so that you won't feel too tired." Cen Jiexiao explained.

"Then I'll have to trouble Dean Cen. But what Dean Cen mentioned about skipping rope and radio gymnastics... this is the first time I've heard of it. Could it be that Dean Cen has invented something new again?" He Yunshu looked at Cen Jiexiao with a puzzled look on his face and said.

Cen Jiexiao smiled awkwardly.

"Um, this is... This is something I developed while studying ancient texts and combining it with people's daily basic exercises. It's very helpful for strengthening the body."

In order to cover up the embarrassment just now, Cen Jiexiao quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Madam, in addition to diet and exercise, emotional regulation is also very important. Madam, you must maintain a good mood and avoid negative emotions such as anxiety, tension, and depression. These emotions will affect your physical health."

"I understand, but..." He Yunshu hesitated to speak, a trace of worry on his face.

"Your Majesty, do you have any unspeakable secrets?" Cen Jiexiao asked with concern.

He Yunshu hesitated for a moment, then spoke out her inner distress: "I have been in the palace for many years, but I have never had any children. The concubines in the harem, each relying on their youth and beauty, vie for favor in various ways. I... I feel really bad..."

Cen Jiexiao listened quietly, and after He Yunshu finished speaking, she softly comforted him, "Your Majesty, you are the Queen, the mother of the country. You don't have to pay attention to the provocations of those vulgar women. You have to believe in yourself. As long as you maintain a positive attitude and actively cooperate with the treatment, there will definitely be good news."

He Yunshu felt a little comforted after hearing what Cen Jiexiao said. She nodded and said, "Dean Cen, how come I have never heard of many of the things you mentioned?"

"Haha, these are some of the experiences I learned from other countries, and I also created some myself. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, you can feel free to give it a try." Cen Jiexiao smiled slightly and said modestly.

In this way, Cen Jiexiao became He Yunshu's "personal doctor", often going in and out of the queen's bedroom to regulate her body.

As time went by, He Yunshu's physical condition gradually improved, her menstruation became regular, her complexion became much rosier, and she looked much more energetic.

The morning sun filtered through the window lattice, spilling into He Yunshu's bedroom. A faint, soothing aroma filled the air, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. Sister Cen Xiao was guiding He Yunshu in prenatal yoga, her gentle voice echoing through the bedroom.

"My queen, breathe in and feel your abdomen bulge slightly." Cen Jiexiao's voice was gentle and soothing.

"Exhale, feeling your abdomen slowly drop back down..."

He Yunshu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt his abdomen rise and fall with his breathing, as if a warm current was flowing slowly in his body.

"Very good, your majesty, keep this rhythm." Cen Jiexiao encouraged.

“Feel the stretch in your body and relax your mind and body.”

He Yunshu slowly exhaled, feeling the tension in his body gradually dissipate, replaced by an unprecedented sense of relaxation and tranquility.
