If that's the case, why didn't the Third Prince receive the news?
Zhao Jingyi never imagined that information about the Great Chu, unless it involved particularly urgent military matters, was collected over a period of time and then slowly transmitted through the post stations.
Especially matters like General Su finding his legitimate daughter and the Emperor of Great Chu bestowing the title of princess upon the daughters of his ministers, are not particularly significant compared to military matters.
The messages Su Ruojin received were all sent directly by Xiao Yanchu or the Dark Alliance via carrier pigeon.
Even if she goes to the palace with Su Ruojin now, the Emperor will not be able to verify whether what Su Ruojin said is true or false.
Su Ruojin dared to go, but Zhao Jingyi did not.
It was a fact, and Su Ruojin wasn't afraid. At worst, she could just wait a while longer until news from the Great Chu arrived.
But for Zhao Jingyi, daring to alarm the Emperor over such a trivial matter, regardless of whether Su Ruojin's words were true or false, she would not fare well.
"Su Ruojin, do you think the palace is your backyard, where you can just walk in whenever you want? You've disturbed His Majesty, can you bear the responsibility for that?" Zhao Jingyi gritted her teeth.
"Consort Zhao, it's alright if you don't dare to go. I'm sure the Third Prince will receive the news in a couple of days. You can come and kneel before me then. I'm a magnanimous man and won't hold a grudge against a mere consort like you."
"The concubine has just returned to the Zhao residence, so please rest first. Grandmother is not feeling well, so she will not keep you company." Su Ruojin was too lazy to say another word to Zhao Jingyi and helped the old lady up.
"Stop!" Since becoming the Third Prince's concubine, no one had ever dared to treat Zhao Jingyi like this. She couldn't swallow this insult and stood up. "Green Willow, slap her across the face! Don't stop until I tell you to!"
Green Willow was Zhao Jingyi's personal maid. Upon hearing this, she walked up to Su Ruojin, raised her hand, and was about to hit her.
The next second, Su Ruojin grabbed Green Willow's hand, rendering her unable to move an inch.
Su Ruojin smiled slightly. Green Willow was pulled around by her and gently pushed. Green Willow couldn't control herself and rushed towards Zhao Jingyi.
"Concubine, be careful!"
Zhao Jingyi was caught off guard by this turn of events and was stunned for a moment before being pounced on by Green Willow.
"ah!"
The two of them fell backward together.
Fortunately, Zhao Jingyi was standing next to the main seat in the main hall, and she and Lü Liu eventually collapsed on the main seat together.
All the furniture in the main hall of the Zhao residence was made of Phoebe zhennan wood, which was heavy enough that the two of them didn't fall to the ground along with their chairs.
The maids and nannies that Zhao Jingyi brought rushed over to try to help the two of them up.
In her haste, one of the nannies tripped over a chair leg, lost her balance, and landed on top of Green Willow and Zhao Jingyi, causing chaos.
Su Ruojin calmly helped the old lady leave.
The old lady didn't even bother to acknowledge her great-aunt's daughter, a granddaughter who never greeted her.
Zhao Guangtao and Zhao Jingning were dumbfounded by what they saw.
Zhao Jingning reacted quickly, her eyes darting around as she helped Zhao Guangtao up: "Grandfather, you are weak and dizzy from standing for so long. Ning'er will help you down to rest."
Zhao Guangtao instantly understood Zhao Jingning's meaning and immediately covered his head, saying, "Hey, Ning'er, I'm so dizzy, help me downstairs."
The two of them left quickly.
After Zhao Jingyi's hairpin fell off and she sat up with her hair disheveled, there was no one else in the main hall except for her and the servants she had brought.
The maids and servants of the Zhao family were all very perceptive; seeing this scene, they all ran away faster than the next.
Zhao Jingyi was so angry that she swept all the cups on the table onto the floor.
She never expected that when she finally returned to the Zhao residence, not only would no one come to flatter and fawn over her, the prince's concubine, but she would also be humiliated in this way.
"Su Ruojin, you just wait!"
