But after several nights in a row when Dou was very enthusiastic, Dou Sixteen knew something was wrong.
The person who usually gets shy after being teased for a while has been acting strangely these past few days.
"What's wrong?" Dou Shiliu asked with amusement, grabbing the cannon fodder who was trying to unbutton her clothes.
"No...nothing's wrong."
Wen Su felt a pang of disappointment, his eyes flickered, and he guiltily withdrew his hand. However, the woman's grip was rather tight, and he was pulled into her embrace again.
"The steward said you had someone fetch some valuable medicinal herbs from the storeroom?"
Dou Shiliu glanced at him twice, "Are you sick?"
Remembering what the medicinal herbs had been used for, Wen Su said somewhat awkwardly, "It's nothing."
Dou Shiliu slowly pulled the man onto the bed, leaned over him, and gazed at him.
"Yeah?"
Her slender fingers traced his cheek, finally lingering on his thin lips.
Wen Su felt a tingling sensation on her face, and she knew without a doubt that she was blushing again. Dou Shiliu smiled and asked, "Want a child?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Su knew that the woman in front of him knew everything.
A flicker of emotion crossed his eyes as he gritted his teeth: "I will definitely give birth to a healthy, chubby daughter."
Dou Shiliu's eyes darkened, and she kissed Wen Su's lips: "Were you born to steal me away from you?"
Wen Su was taken aback, and Dou Shiliu said seriously, "I don't need a child, and you don't need a child to appease those ministers."
"I...really want to have a child with you."
Wen Su looked at Dou Shiliu and said, word by word, "Our child."
At first, he had other ideas, but now he only wants to have a child with her.
I just wanted a little life.
Dou Shiliu was in a dilemma for the first time. She couldn't have children, but Wen Su was very persistent and took tonics and such every day.
Now we don't hide from Dou Shiliu anymore; we eat it openly, even though the smell is incredibly pungent.
Dou Shiliu frowned as he had someone pour the water out, but then Wen Su had someone put it back on.
Fortunately, the imperial physicians' prescriptions were not harmful to the human body, but Dou Shiliu just didn't like Wen Su drinking these strange things.
"Stop drinking!" With one hand, he knocked over the medicine bowl, and the servants knelt down in a panic.
Dou Shiliu sat on the couch, her aura cold, showing that she was very unhappy. Wen Su looked at the woman who was throwing a tantrum with amusement and walked over to try to appease her.
"The imperial physician said these have no side effects."
Wen Su patted Dou Shiliu's head. In this world, you can't pat a woman's head, but in front of her, it's all nonsense.
"I can't."
Dou Shiliu suddenly spoke, his eyes calmly fixed on Wen Su.
"I can't have children"
Upon hearing this, Wen Su immediately covered Dou Shiliu's mouth, "What nonsense is Your Highness spouting?"
The voice trembled slightly
Dou Shiliu patted his hand reassuringly, but Wen Su dared not let go, afraid that this ancestor would say something shocking again.
Amused, Dou Shiliu straightened Wen Su and said seriously, "Really, it's my fault."
Wen Su's eyes were complicated; he never thought it was Dou Shiliu's fault.
Such a refined and aloof woman, like a banished immortal, seems to have no connection to the idea that she is infertile in this matriarchal society.
The servants trembled even more, wishing they could go deaf right now!
Why would they reveal such a shocking and awe-inspiring truth to their matriarchal society that their war goddess is infertile?
I felt like I was doomed.
The prince will not let them get away with this!
"Bang!" The sound of the teacup shattering startled Wen Su.
The servant was so frightened that his hands and feet turned ice-cold, and he immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically.
"Your Highness, spare me! Your Highness, spare me!"
Dou Shiliu frowned and said, "Get out of here, all of you."
There was no blame; it was clear that they had been saved.
The servants hurriedly left.
"They know about this..." Wen Su's eyes darkened. This absolutely could not be known by anyone else. Those servants could only...
"It's okay, I did it on purpose."
Wen Su was taken aback: "Why?"
"Because of this, we don't have children, and no one dares to say anything."
If Wen Su doesn't have children, the people of the matriarchal country will gossip about her.
However, she was a princess of a matriarchal society, so no one dared to say anything if it was her fault.
Looking at Dou Shiliu's calm face, Wen Su felt that this person's actions were completely in line with the image of her Highness the Prince.
Unsurprisingly, those with ulterior motives in the matriarchal society used Wen Su's infertility as a topic of discussion.
Facing forward.
"Your Majesty, I have urgent business to attend to."
Wei Xinpian sat casually on the dragon throne and nodded.
"His Highness the Prince is a war god of our country, yet he has no children. The Prime Minister's second son has been married into the household for a year and a half, but there is still no sign of pregnancy."
The minister then raised his voice slightly, saying, "For the sake of the matriarchal society, we urge Her Majesty the Empress to choose a husband for Her Highness the Prince."
Wei Xinpian's eyes fell on Dou Shiliu at the very top, looking at him with interest, but she didn't say anything.
The Prime Minister was the first to express his dissatisfaction, saying directly, "Are you implying, military officer, that my son is infertile?"
Wen Su is nominally hers, so she can't let others argue about it.
"I didn't say that. Your Excellency is overthinking it."
He didn't say that; he only suggested that the prince take a concubine.
The Prime Minister snorted angrily.
Seeing that things were about right, Wei Xinpian coughed and asked in a pretentious tone, "What does the Prince think?"
Dou Shiliu glanced at the military official and said lightly, "It's none of your business to tell me what to do with my offspring."
The cold, desolate sound echoed in the high hall.
Upon hearing this, the military official looked troubled: "Your Highness, with your divine power, you will surely be able to pass it down and ensure the continuation of the matriarchal kingdom."
To produce offspring for the royal family?
Dou Shiliu sneered: "What will you do if I don't take a concubine?"
The court fell silent in uproar; not a single person dared to utter a sound.
No one dared to force His Highness the Prince to take a concubine. In the end, Dou Shiliu stormed off, leaving the foolish ministers to take concubines on their own.
She's going home to be with the cannon fodder boss.
News of the court's affairs spread like wildfire to every corner of the matriarchal kingdom, with everyone saying that Wen Su had forcibly taken his wife, but she was unable to bear children.
It's simply a disaster for the country and its people, hindering His Highness the Prince from having children and offspring for the nation.
Upon hearing such rumors, Dou Shiliu immediately ordered that anyone who dared to spread them again would be executed on the spot.
Privately, it was also revealed that she had health problems, which shut the officials up.
After all, the man himself is fine; the problem lies with their prince. How can they possibly allow their prince to take a concubine?
Dou Shiliu didn't live long in this world because the original host's body wasn't very good, and with so much war, her body was maintained by the system for decades.
Now I can't hold on any longer.
Wen Su calmly watched the body on the bed gradually grow cold, and the hand she was holding involuntarily loosened its grip.
"This is the first time you've left before me..."
Muttering to herself, Wen Su then crawled down beside Dou Shiliu and slowly closed her eyes…
