Xiao Juan was skeptical. "Since it's not a sneak attack, why did you rush over from behind?"
Princess Tao Ran was angry and aggrieved. She said fiercely, "I have nothing better to do. I want to see if I can pick you up from behind. Can't I?"
Xiao Juan said firmly, "Of course not. I'm a married man, and you're about to marry the Emperor of the Chen Nation. We have to keep a distance from each other and not cross any lines."
Princess Tao Ran no longer had the strength to say anything to him.
She said tiredly, "I'm tired. Go back first."
Xiao Juan opened the door and walked out, instructing the maidservant who was waiting outside, "Princess Tao Ran seems to be injured. Get the physician to take a look at her."
The maid was surprised. "Why is the princess injured?"
Xiao Juan did not answer and walked away.
He returned to his room, placed the No Return Saber at the head of the bed, took off his outerwear, and went to bed.
