Yes, that's how I see it. If the Attolia/Eddis/Sounis region loses the war against the Medes, an heir will be irrelevant. Plus, what better weapon to give your enemies than a little child who holds both soverigns' hearts? Which, of course, may be why we may see an heir in the next book. MWT doesn't flinch at doing terrible things to her characters.
But, I don't think the hot wine (with herbs) is a fertility treatment. If Gen had asked to see the physicians because he was wanting some help in that area, why would he take every opportunity to drop his wine glass, and avoid the treatment?
