I don't think the Jhereg were actually expecting a representative of
the Empire to appear instantly--that was all Cawti and Norathar's
idea. Presumably they would have showed up and killed Vlad, and then
found some way to give the silver tiassa to the Empress (planted on
Vlad's dead body?). When no Jenoine show up, there's nothing for the
Empire to be upset about except the murder of a fugitive Imperial
Count, which isn't as big of a deal as you might think, especially
without witnesses.
