Recklessly discussing court affairs, attacking the Female Emperor's governing policies.
Prizing into the Female Emperor's private feelings, harboring wicked schemes.
Bragging in public, saying nonsense like as long as he dared to dream, even the Female Emperor could be won over.
Repeatedly slandering the Female Emperor as an old woman regardless of the occasion, making her lose all face before the court ministers.
Murong Ziyan did not mention the matter of her hand being touched. That would be bad for the Female Emperor's reputation, and this matter absolutely could not be spread lightly.

"Hmph! Fellow Daoist Feng, these are all things the supreme one and I saw with our own eyes and heard with our own ears. Are you questioning whether we deliberately framed that nephew of yours?"
"I would not dare, I would not dare! The supreme one is the pillar propping up the Dynasty. How could she frame a wet-behind-the-ears brat..." Dugu Feng's nerves were stretched taut, and he bowed with cupped hands, lowering his whole body by a large margin.
Neither sovereign nor subject, though there was no need to kneel, when the other party demanded an accounting, he could not refuse to receive it!
*I'm done for. The Female Emperor is so beautiful, and he called her an old woman... isn't
