"What? Lu Li beat Du Jian?" Li Han shouted in surprise in the room.
Although Li Han was in the palace and Lu Li deliberately concealed the matter, this matter would not have been known, but there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and someone still found Li Han.
This man was one of Du Jian's men, Xiaofeng. Seeing his master being seriously injured by Lu Li, he was unwilling to accept it, but because of Lu Li's identity, he couldn't take the initiative to settle the score with Lu Li, so he went to find Li Han without telling Du Jian.
Because Li Han and Du Jian had cooperated, he knew something about the relationship between Li Han and Lu Li. His intuition told him that it would be right to find Li Han.
"How is Du Jian? Is he seriously injured? Has he taken the initiative to provoke Lu Li recently?" Li Han was very worried.
"No, Young Master has been busy with his work these past few days. How could he have the time to provoke General Lu?"
Li Han angrily cursed, "What the hell is Lu Li doing?"
"There is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not..." Xiao Feng looked at Li Han and spoke hesitantly.
Li Han said: "It's okay, just tell me if you have anything to say, don't be polite with me!"
Xiao Feng nodded. "Miss Li Han, I feel sorry for the young master. Yesterday, the young master heard that you were punished by His Majesty to face the wall. I was worried about your well-being and specially put aside my work to go see you. I didn't expect General Lu to come to the door and beat the young master up afterwards."
Li Han frowned, and suddenly thought of the scene when she met Lu Li yesterday. She knew that Lu Li came to the palace not just to bring her food, but to give her a piece of advice. Her every word and action could not escape his control.
Li Han felt deeply guilty. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know Lu Li would be like this. I was careless! The Blessing Festival is coming soon, and I'm in the palace and can't leave. How about I send someone to check on your young master first? When I'm free, I'll come and apologize in person."
Xiaofeng remained silent. Li Han knew that this was all his fault. If it weren't for Lu Li's inexplicable jealousy, Du Jian wouldn't have suffered such harm. The guilt in his heart grew deeper.
"These are some pastries I made today. Please take them to your master and say sorry for me!" Li Han took out a box of food prepared by the servants and handed it to Xiaofeng.
"Then I will accept it first. I will also convey what you ask me to convey to the young master. Don't worry!" Xiaofeng took the food box and left.
Looking at Xiaofeng's departing back, Li Han was lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
At the same time, the secret guards arranged by Lu Li also reported everything that had just happened to Lu Li.
"Hmph, this Du Jian is really lingering around. Even though he's badly injured, he still goes looking for Li Han. I should have punched him to death!" Lu Li slammed the brush in his hand on the table. The ink soaked into the paper and covered the words.
"Go, help me prepare the horses. I'm going out for a few days to do some business!" After Lu Li calmed down, he instructed the guards beside him.
The guard was a little surprised and said, "General, are you leaving today? Aren't the princess and the queen going to the place of prayer tomorrow? Aren't you going to see them off?"
Lu Li snorted coldly: "What's wrong, don't you listen to me?"
"Yes, I'll go right away!" The guard was a little confused. He didn't know why Lu Li suddenly got angry, nor did he know how he had offended him. He left in a hurry as if his feet were greased.
Lu Li didn't know why he was like this, he just felt very strange. He sat on the chair, his teeth chattering with anger. After a while, he stood up and walked around the study. He felt extremely irritated and couldn't sit or stand.
The prayer journey that Li Han had been looking forward to for many days finally began. He was so excited that he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep the night before. He got up early to prepare, and now he was standing at the palace gate with the queen.
"Li Han, the time is almost up, we should set off!" the queen urged.
"Empress, Li Han knows, please wait a moment!" Li Han looked around anxiously at the palace gate, as if waiting for someone.
Seeing Li Han's expression, the Queen asked curiously, "Li Han, what are you looking at? It's time to get ready to set off!"
Li Han walked to the sedan chair and said dejectedly, "Empress, can you wait a little longer? Lu Li said he would come to see me off, but he hasn't come yet. I guess he's delayed again!"
"Didn't Lu Li go out yesterday to ask for orders to carry out a mission? He should have left the city by now and won't come back. Didn't Lu Li tell you?" the queen replied.
Out of town?
"Maybe he left in a hurry and didn't have time to tell me. I've been delayed long enough. Let's set off quickly!" Li Han forced a smile.
At the Queen's request, Li Han rode in the same sedan chair with her. He stared blankly outside the whole way, looking depressed and with a gloomy face.
Seeing Li Han's worried look at the palace gate, the Queen wanted to ask her what happened, but in order not to delay her journey, she didn't ask. However, seeing Li Han like this the whole way, she couldn't help but feel distressed. She asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Did the couple have a fight?"
Li Han was afraid that the Queen would notice something, so he forced a smile to the Queen, shook his head and said, "No!", then stared blankly outside.
The queen looked at Li Han and saw that she was unwilling to say more, so she did not ask any more questions. The person who tied the bell can only untie it. Li Han's knot can only be untied by the person who tied the bell. Between Lu Li and Li Han, everyone is an outsider and has no right to interfere.
The queen moved and sat next to Li Han, holding her hand, silent.
The place of prayer was a long way away, and they had walked for half a day without realizing it. However, it was still very far away. After all, the queen was a noble person, and her body could not withstand the long journey, so she stopped to rest.
After lunch, the queen rested in the sedan chair. Li Han didn't want to disturb her, so he wandered aimlessly in the woods alone, still thinking about Lu Li.
At this moment, the system suddenly popped up and reminded Li Han: "I still have to remind you again, there will be bloody disasters on the way to the blessing land, you must be extra careful!"
"Oh, I see!" Li Han is not interested in whether there is any bloody disaster or not. She lives on the edge of a knife every day anyway, so it doesn't matter. She has more important things to figure out!
Li Han suddenly noticed that the system's interface, sounds, and other layouts had changed significantly, so he asked in confusion, "Did you change your skin?"
The system smiled and said, "What skin? Did I upgrade?"
"Upgrade? Because I completed the mission?"
"No, no, no, because you make more money!"
"Haha!" Li Han couldn't help but roll his eyes!
