So in the future I think he he does they don't say it out right but when he has a son with Gyokuyou he starts getting threats on his life cause people are worried he will steal the succession so to stop that he brands her symbol on his body to show he's not a threat and doesn't wants the throne cause if he gets it he can't be with Maomao cause he also tells her that he loves her she hasn't fully accepted him yet but she's showing signs that she's not as bothered by it as she used to be but when he brands himself like that the emperor gets super pissed and they way they talk about it makes it seem like he definitely knows Jishi is actually his first born son. You should read the light novels tho if you are interested they are so far ahead of the manga and 12 issue comes out in October of this year I already have it pre-order I'm obsessed lol
There is also this website that I know they are on BUT I've never used it before so I don't exactly know how it works. But I do know they have the light novels on it. Hope that helps!
