"This..." King Jin said awkwardly, "Mother, weren't you suspecting that the problem might be with me?"
"Then have you slept with them?" Asking such a private question, the Empress was both embarrassed and angry.
King Jin, even more embarrassed by the inquiry, hesitantly replied: "Indeed I have, I believe I have no issues, but I just don't know why they can't get pregnant."
"Merely saying you're fine doesn't settle the matter. Just yesterday, I went to Gu Youyou's place intending to oppress her with the issue of surrogacy, but instead, she turned the tables and even brought up your infertility. The emperor became angry upon hearing this and said that he should have been informed about your condition earlier. But how could I bring myself to speak of such a situation?"
King Jin felt as if struck by lightning. Stunned, he asked: "How could you let Father Emperor know about this?"
