The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law
Chapter 1079 - 1073: No Offspring

Chapter 1079: Chapter 1073: No Offspring

The wife of Prince Qin stood up and nodded softly, her figure looked as if it were about to collapse.

She certainly wanted to, but she needed an opportunity!

"Yes, Your Majesty the Empress!"

"Hmm, you may leave. I am tired today!" The Empress supported her head with one hand, looking exceptionally weary.

Gu Youyou left Jiaotai Hall with a clear head and an indescribable sense of comfort in her heart.

In the Empress’s bedchamber, those several misses had waited until the chrysanthemums had wilted, all awaiting the summons, but no one came.

"Could something unexpected have occurred?"

"What sort of unexpected event could occur? Surely Gu Youyou wouldn’t dare to disagree?"

"Why hasn’t Her Majesty the Empress summoned us after all this time?"

"If you’re not summoned, just wait. Her Majesty the Empress won’t ask you to stay overnight."

Meanwhile, the Empress had clearly forgotten about those misses. Her son was infertile and sick; it was a great shame. How could she sit still?

She hurriedly sent someone to Prince Jin Residence and summoned Prince Jin to the palace.

"Mother, what is it that you summon your son for?" Prince Jin, puzzled, had only recently sent his wife to the palace, and she had just returned when he was summoned to the palace.

He thought: Could it be that Lin Qianqing caused him trouble?

The Empress had a drained look, dismissed everyone around, and asked, "Tell me honestly, are you impotent?"

"What?" Prince Jin had no clue what she was talking about.

The Empress had no choice but to press on: "There are so many women in your household, you’ve been married for such a long time, why is it that no one is pregnant? Honestly, tell me, is there a problem with you in that regard?"

"Ah?" Prince Jin’s face turned a dark navy color, anxious, he said: "Mother, who told you this?"

"Don’t ask who told me. Just tell me, is it true?"

"I...how could I be impotent? Mother, you worry too much, your son is in very good health." Speaking of such matters would make any man feel awkward. Prince Jin was both angry and embarrassed.

Wondering who could have spread such rumors to his mother, he thought it must be Lin Qianqing. All right, wait until I return and see how I deal with you.

"But why is it that none of your consorts are pregnant? Look at Prince Qin, although his firstborn is a daughter, the daughter of Jie Family is about to bear him twins. Xiaoran, your father will not hand over the throne to a Prince who has no heirs. The reason your father hesitates to appoint you Crown Prince might well be this."

Once she started thinking this way, the idea in the Empress’ heart ran wild, and she couldn’t find any other reason why her son wouldn’t be fit to be the Crown Prince other than his lack of heirs.

Yes, it must be so.

Thinking of this, she felt as if the heavens were about to collapse.

There was nothing lacking that she couldn’t compete for on his behalf, but as for giving birth to a son, how could she possibly assist?

"What should we do? What should we do... Xiaoran, your mother has always been so strong, never lost to anyone, if she loses because you have no heir, how can I face the Ducal Residence that has always supported us? Your maternal grandfather is old, how can he bear such a blow?"

King Jin’s mind was racing, and hearing the Empress say this, he realized this issue was extremely serious.

Could it be that he truly couldn’t have children?

Yet he was clearly capable of performing his marital duties?

But if he could, how then could he explain that no one in Prince Jin Residence was able to conceive?

This problem was very serious and must not be leaked out.

After several turns of thought, an idea suddenly lit up in King Jin’s mind.
