Rage Wave Kingdom, Zhi Du, within the royal palace.
Queen Zhiyan and Duke Zhi Ao are playing chess.
"Gui Xingfu left?" Queen Zhiyan asked.
"Yes, he should have already reached the Southeast Province by now," Zhi Ao replied.
Queen Zhiyan said, "Your wife is about to give birth, congratulations are in order. Has the Dragon Temple checked the pulse? Is it a boy or a girl?"
Zhi Ao said, "A boy."
Queen Zhiyan said, "A boy is good..."
Duke Zhi Ting has died without leaving an heir. Duke Zhi Wei's son Zhi You was held captive by Lanling for a long time and suffered some torment and fright, still now without an heir.
Starting from Queen Zhiyan's grandfather's generation, the royal bloodline has become exceedingly thin, and it seems that by the fourth generation, there truly is only Zhi Ao's son left.
Zhiyan sighed softly and said, "In this way, my father's realm need not worry about having no one to inherit it."
