"Our ambassador to the Great Qin Empire has already lodged a protest, protesting the Great Qin Empire's interference in Dahua's domestic affairs..." Seeing as Dahua is indeed our vassal state, the envoy from the Great Tang Empire still responded to Zhao Yu's request.
In fact, the Great Tang Empire did lodge a protest, requesting the Great Qin Empire to consider the interests of both countries and not interfere in the Dahua Kingdom's civil war.
But the issue is, the so-called protest from the Great Tang Empire remained merely verbal, with neither the intention to sanction the Great Qin Empire nor any further threatening actions.
Thus, after the Great Qin Empire grasped the implication from the Great Tang Empire, they continued to support Zhao Jie secretly, remaining utterly unconstrained.
