Understanding the Family Dynamics and Polygamous Themes in “The Apothecary’s Monologue”
Reader’s Question:
I have a question about the relationships between the characters in “The Apothecary’s Monologue.” If Jinshi is the child of the current emperor and Empress Ada, does that mean that the child of Consort Gyokuyo is Jinshi’s half-sibling? Is it correct to think of this like a polygamous situation?
