Zhu Yu was somewhat surprised, unsure in that moment exactly which matter had surprised her.
She originally thought that during Duchess Yan's birthday banquet, the biggest trap for Zhao Bi would be the gown made from Flowing Clouds.
Unexpectedly, there was also the huge blemish of the tributes Zhao Bi previously withheld privately.
When she first heard Rune mention it, Zhu Yu thought those people knew what tributes Duke Yan had previously withheld at home, so they intentionally said it. If a raid found it, even if not publicly displayed, it would be indefensible.
But upon reflection, she felt perhaps it wasn't just framing, Zhao Bi truly was fearless and had been caught red-handed.
After all these years, Emperor Jin had kept forgiving him for various issues, even indulging him. Aside from portraying himself as a benevolent ruler honoring his ministers, it also served to spoil Zhao Bi, making him increasingly bold.
