In such a vast Blue Star Empire, Du Xixi is keenly aware that many people dislike her—those whose interests are threatened by her very existence wish they could kill Du Xixi immediately. But many have shielded Du Xixi under their wings, preventing such people from having any opportunity.
Take the Minister of Education who tried to manipulate public opinion; he has always disliked Du Xixi, wishing that this "halfway-established" Empress could vanish into thin air.
But does their hatred for Du Xixi matter? Is it effective to use these young boys and girls to nauseate Du Xixi? Of course not. They wouldn't think Du Xixi is genuinely so fragile that she couldn't bear even a few words of disloyalty, right?
Others say what they say; as long as one doesn't take it to heart, the annoyance ultimately remains in others' minds. This principle, Du Xixi has long understood.
