Dong Huiying said blankly, "I once checked his pulse..."

Yun Ge also nodded fiercely, "I’m the same, although I’ve been at odds with Ji Jiuhuang, but in recent years, haven’t I secretly made trips to the palace?"

The Great Commander sighed with a forlorn smile. "There are always things in this world that defy explanation, and that cannot be discerned by man."

"If you are familiar with the history of Dayuan, you should know. Hundreds of years ago, Dayuan was like the neighboring Dajin, a matriarchy. Men in Dayuan were physically weak, women strong, and this has always been the foundation of Dayuan’s defense against external enemies, the very basis of our nation! However, childbirth was akin to going through Hell’s door; survival depended solely on each person’s luck."

"Historical records show that those years were filled with wars, female numbers sharply declined, and the challenge of childbirth nearly led to the extinction of Dayuan’s women."

"The current Empress sought solutions and thus sent envoys overseas. This envoy, against all odds, accidentally discovered an island, later known as the Island of Life, with a forest that came to be known as the Forest of Life, and the fruits of the forest were named Life fruits."

"Once a man consumes this fruit, it can alter his physique, allowing him to conceive and bear children like a woman. Later, among the populace, this fruit was called the Life fruit, but regardless, the survival of the Dayuan Dynasty until today is undeniably linked to this fruit."

The Great Commander then turned to discuss another matter.

"Besides the Life fruit, there are many strange fruits in this world. No one knows where they come from, but their miraculous properties are beyond doubt."

"For instance, the six husbands of the Marshal’s Family. Those six men acquired Inner Strength due to consuming fruit, ranking among the masters, a rare opportunity indeed! And..."

"Years ago, when the Eighth Princess procured similar fruit from an unknown source, those fruits had the effect of preventing conception. Despite taking them, the pulse conditions of those involved remained normal, and even the most brilliant Doctor could detect nothing amiss. But over these years, not to mention the Ninth Princess, who was always acting mad and foolish, even Prince Meng, who displayed a debauched and carefree image publicly, with numerous male concubines in his manor, one-night follies, and fleeting affairs being common, has yet to bear an heir. This is the best evidence!"

"Therefore,"

The Great Commander finally concluded.

"The Eighth Princess cannot be killed!!"

"No matter how much hatred is in my heart, no matter how much I want her dead, she must live, she must be kept alive!!"

After the Great Commander finished speaking, Dong Huiying and Yun Ge fell into silence, while Her Majesty the Empress lying on the bed had a look of being unable to comprehend.

During the days of paralysis, although she was conscious, Her Majesty the Empress had never heard this matter from the Great Commander.

Thus, upon hearing this, the shock was immense within her heart, followed by a raging fury, wishing she could scorch the heavens and tear the earth apart, wishing she could immediately crush the Eighth Princess to death!
