Besides Jiang Ming's matter causing Ji Shishi distress, other things were also circulating in the palace...
That is, although King Ji Bochang "diligently farmed" every day, none of the concubines he had taken advantage of, including Ji Xi, became pregnant!
After examination by the imperial physicians, a startling conclusion was reached: Ji Bochang had suffered a fright in his youth, leaving him with a lingering health condition. While it didn't affect his sex life, he had lost his fertility! And it was an incurable condition...
This made Ji Shishi worried and hesitant again!
Although she found her so-called half-brother disgusting, he was, after all, her father's bloodline.
If Ji Bochang is unable to have children, wouldn't his own Yan bloodline be cut off?
A son born of oneself can only bear the surname Ying, not Ji...
But if they choose from other members of the royal family, who can guarantee their vested interests?
Who knows, those members of the major clans who have been thoroughly offended by their brother Ji Xi might even launch a revenge campaign! Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine!
Therefore, Ji Shishi herself also tends to believe that Jiang Ming loves her more and should make her son the crown prince.
Even now, she doesn't know whether she's carrying a boy or a girl.
......
Ji Shishi arrived, and Jiang Ming quickly went out to greet her.
Upon seeing her husband, Ji Shishi could no longer control herself. Before Jiang Ming could even ask her, "Why did you come so late?" she threw herself into Jiang Ming's arms and burst into tears, her tears soaking his shoulder.
Her reaction was noticeably different from that of the two Xianbei wives, which reassured Jiang Ming somewhat.
“Baby, I’m sorry… The fighting at the front is intense, and I haven’t had a chance to come back and see you…” Jiang Ming said guiltily, hugging Ji Shishi.
"Waaah! My husband! You haven't forgotten me, have you? Waaah!"
"How could that be?"
Jiang Ming laughed and said, "I think about you every moment... However, the war has reached a critical point, and I am planning to destroy the Zhongshan Kingdom."
"Husband? You want to destroy the Zhongshan Kingdom? Can you do it?" Ji Shishi looked up at Jiang Ming in surprise.
"Oh!"
Jiang Ming smiled faintly: "It's nothing, Madam, let's go inside and talk..."
It was late at night, so the two went straight back to their bedroom to rest.
You shouldn't have sex during the first three months of pregnancy, but I'm already in my fourth month...
Jiang Ming originally didn't plan to touch his wives while they were pregnant, but absence makes the heart grow fonder, and the couple, having not seen each other for so long, immediately fell in love...
After their loving moment, Ji Shishi nestled in Jiang Ming's arms like a kitten, lingering tenderly.
It was only at this point that she brought up the "topic" again.
"My lord, these days, have you slept with any other women while you're alone?" Ji Shishi asked tentatively, her watery eyes staring intently at Jiang Ming.
"Well......"
Jiang Ming smiled slightly awkwardly: "Why would you ask that, Madam? Was it because I wasn't affectionate enough with you just now?"
"no......"
Ji Shishi pouted slightly and murmured with a hint of grievance, "I'm worried... that my husband will get tired of me and forget about me... cough! You're a man, so I understand your needs in that area."
Seeing how sensible Ji Shishi was, Jiang Ming felt even more guilty.
"My lord, there is something I need to report to you..."
Ji Shishi's fingertips playfully traced patterns on Jiang Ming's chest.
"Say it!"
“My husband… Ji Bochang seems to be unable to have children.”
"What?"
Jiang Ming gasped in shock. He never expected that Ji Bochang was infertile.
It seems that Jin Feng's inability to conceive over the years is not due to any problem on her part.
"The imperial physician said..."
Ji Shishi explained, "It seems to be saying that he suffered severe trauma and fright in his early years, which caused him to lose his ability to have children..."
"Oh, I see!" Jiang Ming nodded thoughtfully.
"Husband, what should we do?"
Ji Shishi feigned a worried expression: "If he cannot have children, wouldn't our Yan Kingdom be without an heir? To be honest, although there are other collateral branches, they suffered greatly at the hands of my brother in the past and have long harbored deep hatred for our family... If we establish their descendants as heirs, they will definitely seek revenge."
"Does Madam have any thoughts?" Jiang Ming asked, gently patting Ji Shishi's snow-white shoulder.
Ji Shishi looked at Jiang Ming with complicated eyes, bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said thoughtfully, "Of course, I want my child... to be the master of Yan."
"Hehe..." Jiang Ming laughed, "Since Ji Bochang is so useless, then don't blame me for being disloyal to the Yan Kingdom. Since you have this idea, I will definitely fulfill your wish and make your son the King of Yan!"
"But......"
Ji Shishi clung tightly to Jiang Ming's arm, asking with a wronged expression, "Can he become king? Will you give him the throne?"
The thought of Jiang Ming having so many wives brought tears to Ji Shishi's eyes; she felt utterly wronged...
"Hiss~!"
Jiang Ming was perceptive and sensed something was amiss; Ji Shishi must know something.
"What makes you say that, Madam?"
Jiang Ming frowned and chuckled, "You are the most honored woman in the Yan Kingdom. Your son is the most suitable to inherit the throne of Yan. Who else can compete with him?"
