Because of Su Jinxiu's words, the entire Suzaku Palace was silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
Zhao looked up at Su Jinxiu, hesitated for a long time, and finally admitted: "Yes."
With just one sentence, Concubine Zhu's anger, which she had suppressed with great difficulty, erupted again, and Su Jinxiu's face became even gloomier.
They all knew that it was a fact that General Anguo's Mansion wanted to cancel the engagement, but Zhao's frank admission this time was tantamount to a slap in their faces.
"Zhao, Jinxiu is our Bei'an princess after all. You are so mean to her. Do you really think our Jinxiu is easy to bully?"
"My Lady Concubine, we were wrong to break off the engagement. The Emperor has already reprimanded my general."
Zhao's words made Concubine Zhu and her daughter, who had been acting superior, look even uglier, because the emperor had already reprimanded them, and it would be inappropriate for them to hold them accountable again with such a reason.
But how could they be willing to just leave it like this
"If Your Majesty has nothing else to say, I will go back first." Zhao knew that now that things had come to this, Concubine Zhu and Su Jinxiu would not let it go, so she quickly asked to leave before anything else happened.
"Is there nothing to do in General Anguo's Mansion?" Su Jinxiu asked softly, but Zhao Shi replied, "The Emperor has issued the imperial decree granting the marriage, so our mansion must obey the decree and make good preparations for the wedding."
Su Jinxiu naturally did not believe Zhao's high-sounding words. If they really valued her and his wedding so much, they would naturally not do anything to shut her out.
However, they have no reason to refute such a high-sounding reason, which is the most frustrating thing.
"Madam Zhang, go back with Madam Zhao to see how the General Anguo's Mansion is preparing for the wedding. Come back and tell me about it." Concubine Zhu was also very angry, but she still reacted and smiled and instructed the nanny behind her.
The nanny agreed, but Zhao's face changed. This was tantamount to openly placing someone in their General Anguo's Mansion. However, the reason was also plausible, and she could not refuse.
Not only was there no way to refuse, but General Anguo's mansion also had to pretend to prepare for the wedding with Princess Jinxiu.
She was unwilling to accept the fact that her son was going to marry Su Jinxiu, so General Anguo's Mansion had not made any preparations these days. If these were seen by Nanny Zhang, it would be disrespectful to the marriage arranged by the Emperor.
"Since General Anguo's Mansion is seriously planning the wedding, are you afraid that my palace maid will come and take a look?"
"Since the Imperial Concubine wants Madam Zhang to visit General Anguo's residence, then you can go. However, I have to pay a visit to the head of the harem when I enter the palace today. After I meet Princess Jiaoyang, I will take Madam Zhang out of the palace."
Zhao forced herself to maintain a smile on her face, her heart was already in a panic. Although her general had asked for help from Princess Jiaoyang, she didn't even dare to think about what Princess Jiaoyang's attitude would be. If Princess Jiaoyang chose to stand idly by, then their General Anguo's Mansion would be in danger.
Thinking of this, Zhao hated Concubine Zhu and her daughter even more. It was all their fault. It would have been fine if they had bullied her Ran'er back then, but now they still refused to stop. They kept doing this one after another, forcing the General Anguo's Mansion into a dilemma.
Concubine Zhu did not want Zhao to meet A'man. She felt that Zhao's attitude was opposite to hers, and A'man was her rival. When the two met, she was afraid that she would not get any benefit.
However, she couldn't stop it, just like she let Nanny Zhang follow her into General Anguo's Mansion and Zhao couldn't stop it.
