Wufu quickly learned why Emperor Kaiping mentioned abdication; it was because voices of doubt had arisen in the court.
The Central Palace had no sons, and the Emperor himself did not fill the Harem, which was a major issue. The absence of a future heir in the Imperial Palace was greatly unfavorable for a nation's development, especially as Great Yan was thriving and prosperous. Having no successor was not a good phenomenon.
"At most, he can hold on for two years," Ah Jiu said to Wufu.
After two years, if no heir appeared, the courtiers would also force him to abdicate.
Wufu felt quite aggrieved; toward Jhin Mingdong, she felt both like an aunt and a sister, and truly couldn't bear to see him forced.
"Be honest, how likely is it that he can have a son?" Wufu asked.
"Not even ten percent," Ah Jiu knew how she felt about Emperor Kaiping and reluctantly replied.
Wufu threw the teacup in her hand and angrily said, "Damn Lady Song, even in death she doesn't let people be at ease."
