Just as he was about to explode, he saw Chu Qingluan slowly approaching him, staring at him coldly: "Master Zhao! I don't know when the laws of our Great Chu allowed for the forced abduction of women."
Zhao Baiyu's face suddenly changed, and he knelt down hurriedly to plead guilty: "Your Highness, I know I was wrong. But I really have admired Miss Xie for a long time. I was just anxious at the moment, so I accidentally bumped into Miss Xie. I know I was wrong, and I am willing to accept the punishment."
"That's enough!" Chu Qingluan raised her hand to interrupt him: "My guards saw everything you did just now."

There was a hint of sincerity in her voice, and her gaze towards Chu Qingluan was slightly complicated.
Chu Qingluan raised her hand nonchalantly, "It's just a small favor. Miss Xie, it would be better to bring more followers with you when you go out in the future."
Xie Rou stood in front of Zuixian Tower, watching the princess' carriage going farther and farther away, with mixed feelings in her heart.
