Commandery Princess Yunfeng didn't understand, so she stood there, dumbfounded.
The Princess Consort of Yizhou had to explain in pieces, "Right now, no one can touch Manbao—neither the Emperor, the Empress, the Crown Prince, nor the Crown Princess will allow it. Even the Dowager Empress wouldn't agree."
"Why?"
"The Crown Prince is also the Dowager Empress's own grandson, and he's her eldest legitimate grandson. He's the backbone of the nation, do you understand?" The Princess Consort of Yizhou couldn't hold back her temper and slapped the table as she spoke, "Even those ministers at court wouldn't wish harm upon Manbao. Otherwise, why do you think they've been putting pressure on the Dowager Empress while remaining completely inactive outside?"
"They want to use the Dowager Empress and us as pawns. The Dowager Empress sees it clearly—how could you still insist on rushing in blindly?"
