"Oh? How do you know he's infertile?" Jiang Ming asked, frowning.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Oh my!"
Ji Bochang clicked his tongue and said, "When my brother Ji Xi died, didn't I take over all of his hundreds of wives? Except for this Jin, who was made Queen Dowager by you for her meritorious service in helping you eliminate the Queen of Yan?"
"Hmm! And then?"
"Then......"
Ji Bochang said awkwardly, "I've been trying to conceive for those concubines every night, but a year has passed and there's still no result. Moreover, those concubines have told me that Ji Xi is the same, infertile! If that's the case, then where did Jin Shi's child come from?

"hehe!"
Jiang Ming laughed and said, "So you mean you only listen to God's will and not to mine?"
"No, no, no!"
