Dugu Hongying is part of the Priest Court, and her being tasked with overseeing the Priest Court is already very appropriate. Fengyu's harsh words were meant to wake her up. Moreover, Beining is vast and rich, with great national strength. It is absolutely impossible for it to be threatened by the calamity of Gu poison. If the royal family is coerced with such threats, Xie Xun would stop at nothing to eradicate it. The priests' use of the Heavenly God to manipulate Beiman would definitely not work in Beining.
Fengyu, having once suffered the harm of Gu poison, was extremely cautious during this meeting with Dugu Hongying. Zhang Lingzheng was also present in the palace hall to attend to her and would not allow Dugu Hongying to get too close. Thus, the idea of poisoning her using Gu was impossible. Dugu Hongying was deeply dissatisfied with Fengyu's attitude, but she did not argue back. Instead, she submissively agreed to persuade the High Priest to comply upon her return.
