Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1621 Substitute Bride 25
Although she wouldn't have to be recognized as the legitimate son and made heir apparent for the time being, which would embarrass her, the fact that she hadn't conceived or given birth was enough to put too much pressure on the Crown Princess of Wei. As a result, the Crown Princess of Wei looked very haggard. Despite being under thirty years old and living a life of luxury, she didn't look young at all; on the contrary, she looked older than her actual age.

To be honest, if it weren't for the desire to give birth to a legitimate son, the Crown Prince of Wei probably wouldn't even go to her room. After all, he has too many young and beautiful concubines, so why would the Crown Prince of Wei still like his haggard and aging wife?

However, divorcing one's wife and remarrying would not only damage one's reputation, but also cause considerable trouble. Therefore, although the higher-ups of the Prince Wei's mansion wanted to replace the heir apparent, they had not yet taken any action, probably because they wanted to see if the heir apparent could have another child.

However, Linlang, who had access to a medical device that could scan, knew that apart from the injury caused by her previous childbirth, the Crown Prince's wife was in good health. It was the Crown Prince who had poor sperm quality, so the problem lay with him. Even if he replaced the woman, it probably wouldn't make much difference.

This is also evident – ​​of all his women, only one illegitimate daughter survived, while the other children all died young. This shows that the quality of his sperm was not very good. Besides the poor medical standards of the era, the fact that the children did not survive was also due to the children's poor genes.

The Crown Prince of Wei clearly carried some undesirable genes.

Not only the heir apparent of the King of Wei, but the King of Wei himself had few offspring, with only two sons who grew up, indicating that the King of Wei's genes were not very good.

Going back further, the late emperor only had one brother, the old Prince Wei, which suggests that the quality of his offspring was also poor.

Therefore, it is possible that the late emperor's birth mother had poor genes, because the late emperor had more than one brother. It was from the late emperor's line that the number of offspring became small, indicating that it was not the late emperor's father's genes that were bad, but his birth mother's genes.

Linlang also investigated the situation of the late emperor's birth mother's family. Sure enough, the late emperor's birth mother's family had died out after several generations, so it was indeed the late emperor's birth mother's family that was the problem.

Not only did the King of Wei only have two sons, but his cousin, who is also the current emperor, also didn't have many children. Although there are three princes, some emperors actually have dozens of children, so three princes are already quite rare.

On the other hand, the Qinghe Prince's branch, although the old Qinghe Prince died of a cold early on, still had quite a few descendants. This is probably because the old Qinghe Prince's mother had good genes, which helped improve his offspring.

As for why the old Prince Qinghe's brother, the current Prince Wei, still has bad genes, that's normal. Because genetic modification from the mother can't modify everyone, but only a probability. So it's possible that it modified the old Prince Qinghe but not Prince Wei.

Although the man's genes were defective, it couldn't be blamed on the Crown Princess. If this were modern times, the Crown Princess might even blame the Crown Prince for his poor sperm quality, which delayed her from having children. She might even dump the Crown Prince instead of him divorcing her. However, people in this era wouldn't think of this. When a child dies, they only think it's due to the inadequacy of medical technology, but the man's poor sperm quality is also a factor.

In fact, sometimes, you can see the truth in certain things—not only does the principal wife have no children, but even the concubines have none. Whose responsibility is it? It's obvious, since it's impossible for all the wives and concubines to be incapable. So, the one who is incapable is naturally the Crown Prince of Wei.

Linlang felt that even without the technology to examine him, doctors in this era should have been able to tell the difference; it's just that no one dared to say that the Crown Prince of Wei was impotent. So it was good that the Crown Prince of Wei divorced his wife. While she was still young, she could remarry and have children of better quality, and then she wouldn't be in this pitiful situation of wanting children but not being able to have them.

Linlang's prediction was correct. A few months later, the Crown Prince of Wei divorced his wife and married a new one.

As a result, after being divorced, the Crown Princess of Wei was afraid that she was too old to afford to delay her marriage, so she quickly found a new husband. Only two months after entering the palace, she became pregnant. The children she gave birth to were very strong, and she gave birth to several more in succession, all of whom were very strong and none of them died young.

This is quite normal. The Crown Prince's wife is in her twenties or thirties, which is the prime of her reproductive years. As long as the quality of the man's sperm is good, the quality of the child she gives birth to will be better than that of a child born when she is too young, such as fifteen or sixteen.

On the contrary, the Crown Prince of Wei was in an awkward situation. His newlywed wife did not get pregnant for a while, and when she finally did, she was sickly after giving birth and then she couldn't stand up.

Comparing the healthy and strong children of the Crown Prince's wife, it's obvious who has the problem. No one dares to say it to the Crown Prince, but whispers inevitably circulate. The Crown Prince can't possibly be unaware of this, and he knows others will likely gossip about him. Therefore, his temper has worsened. He thinks it's all the Crown Prince's wife's fault. She married him, was divorced, and couldn't she remain faithful? Why did she remarry and give birth to so many healthy and strong children, slapping him in the face? It's infuriating!

When the Crown Prince of Wei gets angry, the women in his harem suffer, leading to a very unpleasant atmosphere in the Prince of Wei's residence.

In fact, if King Wei hadn't only had two sons, and the remaining son hadn't been an illegitimate son, making it impossible for him to petition the emperor to appoint an heir, King Wei's inability to have children might have led him to choose a different heir.

Leaving aside the commotion at the Prince Wei's residence, let's just talk about Linlang's side. Several months passed in the blink of an eye, and Linlang's child was born.

Her children were naturally normal. Of course, this was mainly because the genes of the old Prince Qinghe's lineage had been improved, getting rid of the bad genes from the late emperor's birth mother.

Otherwise, if she wanted to have a normal child, she might have had to use her genetic screening technology. Now that the genes of the old Prince Qinghe's branch are normal, she doesn't need to go through that trouble.

Of course, Prince Qinghe's abstinence from worldly desires has its advantages; his sperm quality is higher. In contrast, Third Master Jiang, who is always engaged in that kind of activity, has poor sperm quality, which is why so far, only Third Madam Jiang has gotten pregnant—presumably she used some kind of energy to succeed—while his other women haven't gotten pregnant yet.

Once it was scientifically confirmed that the genes of the Emperor and the Prince of Wei were no longer viable, the possibility of the Emperor's lineage becoming extinct and a child being adopted from the Prince of Qinghe's residence was greatly increased.

However, this should still be some time later. After all, if Granny Jiang were to arrange for Prince Qinghe to adopt her child, she would definitely have to kill several of Prince Qinghe's wives first to create the impression that Prince Qinghe was cursed to be a jinx to his wives. Only then could she convince Prince Qinghe that he was cursed to be a jinx and allow him to adopt her child.
