Having slapped himself in frustration, Emperor Muwu still felt it wasn't enough and slapped himself a second time.
The chief eunuch, considering the situation, suggested, "Your Majesty, if this is indeed the Ninth Prince's child, it might solve your urgent problem."
They wouldn't need to find another candidate for the throne.
Emperor Mu Wu glared at him, then kicked him in frustration. "Listen to yourself! Does that even sound like something a person would say?! I wouldn’t even consider Concubine Chen's child, so why would I consider the one born of County Princess Yu? If my Ninth Brother and the Sixth Miss had a child--even if it were a daughter--I'd be willing to pass the throne to her."
What a pity--they don't even have an egg between them!
And now, someone else has gotten ahead and claimed to be pregnant. Ninth Brother, how foolish you've been!
You may very well become the first prince in our royal family to be divorced!
