Even someone as noble as the Emperor has the seven emotions and six desires of a human being.

Jealousy, it’s not unforgivable, wanting to destroy, to annihilate, can also be accepted. As for so-called cruelty and ruthlessness, at times, these aren’t even flaws; rather, they’re strengths—one of the qualities necessary to become a hero.

However, if one cannot see through their own situation, cannot gauge their own abilities, and cannot understand their standing in others’ eyes, yet still acts arrogantly to satisfy their selfish desires, it only leads to an ugly reputation. How could such a fool take on great responsibilities?

But, it turned out to be Her Majesty the Empress who was misguided, and in the end, she was nearly harmed by this fool and almost never awakened again.

The Eighth Princess gazed intensely at the mocking smile on the Empress’s lips, suddenly seeming to go mad, her gaze growing ever darker.

"Again, it’s like this, again, it’s like this!!"

She seemed to be provoked.

What she loathed most was the Empress’s gaze. It made her feel as if she were something filthy, unworthy of even being seen by this person!

The Eighth Princess roared, her voice like that of a Ferocious Demonic Beast escaping from Abyssal Purgatory. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Even though people on both sides were gripping her shoulders, restraining her frail body, the Great Commander was still startled. She dashed forward and shielded Her Majesty the Empress behind her.

The Empress waved her hand, signaling the Great Commander. "I’m fine, no need to worry, she can’t hurt me."

At that moment, a puzzled voice suddenly spoke, "Are you sick or something?"

Dong Huiying had already cracked a handful of melon seeds, leisurely watching the scene. But upon seeing the Eighth Princess’s state, she suddenly had a thought.

This person must be mentally unstable, surely mentally unstable!!

This frenzied and irritable demeanor, she had seen it in some mentally ill patients before.

As Dong Huiying spoke, instantly, everyone’s eyes turned toward Dong Huiying.

The Empress still thought Dong Huiying was joking, so she laughed and said, "Is Baobao standing up for me?"

Baobao? Wasn’t it agreed to call her Yingying?

Dong Huiying was about to speak, but the Eighth Princess’s emotional reaction seemed to grow even more intense.

"What did you call her? Baobao??" The Stormy Eighth Princess looked incredulous; the name Baobao belonged to only one person. A person she believed to have long been dead!!

Looking at the Eighth Princess, Dong Huiying said with a matter-of-fact air, "A mental illness is still an illness, and I think you’re quite severely unwell."

There had been speculations in private before about the Eighth Princess’s actions, and upon observing now, it turned out to be true? This person’s disposition, no, it should be said, this person’s mind truly has issues, a mental illness, and quite a severe one!!

"Baobao, Dong Baowei..." The Eighth Princess’s eyes went blank as she looked at Dong Huiying, seeming to recall that person from the past, through Dong Huiying’s current guise...

"Why is your life so hard? How could even the Devouring God Gu not kill you?"

Rather than madness, rather than anger, her expression seemed more like disbelief.

Dong Huiying arched her brow, she was indeed amused.

"Are you so eager for me to die? But I’m sorry, I’m quite fond of life, I haven’t lived enough yet, and there’s a long life ahead. I’m afraid I have to go against your wish and live happily, joyfully, healthily, harmoniously, and blissfully!"
