Lady Northern Feng said, "Your Majesty, she's my goddaughter who received her princess title from you. One ought to show her some respect out of deference to you; as the saying goes, you don't hit a dog without checking who its owner is first. They shouldn't have disrespected Your Majesty like that!"
Lady Northern Feng was doing all she could to pull the empress dowager to her side. That way, attacking Feng Wu would be attacking the empress dowager. Lady Northern Feng would like to see them try!
As expected —
Concubine Oriole and Empress Dugu couldn't sit still after Lady Northern Feng said that.
Because the lady was directly accusing them of disrespecting the empress dowager!
