After the guards searched Li Han's residence, they found nothing. When Princess Tan found out, she looked incredulous and angry, "How could there be nothing? Are you sure you have searched thoroughly?" Princess Tan pulled the guard's collar, very angry.
The guard was also helpless and nodded, "Princess, we have searched every corner, and we really haven't found anything!"
Tuoba Jun smiled and said, "Princess, you have nothing to say now. In the future, when you are unsure about something, don't take a chicken feather as an arrow. We will not bother with you about what happened today. If you are so rude again in the future, don't blame us for being ruthless. Take your people and get out!"
"You!" The Princess of Tan State was speechless after being confronted by Tuoba Jun. After all, she was the one who was in the wrong first. No matter how wrong the other party was, he was still a guest of Tan State, so she had to leave unwillingly with her guards.
After everyone left, Li Shu told Li Han what had just happened in the room. He was very worried, afraid that Lu Yi might have been sent here by someone else. "Royal sister, just now a man named Lu Yi climbed in through the window and asked me to give him the family tree. He said he was here to help you. I had no other choice at the time, so I had to..."
Li Han patted Li Shu's shoulder and said, "I understand. He's my friend and won't do anything to us! This matter has only come to a temporary end, but we should be careful about whether there will be other problems in the future."
When Li Han learned that it was Lu Yi who saved her this time, her heart was still full of gratitude. It meant that she had not misjudged the person at that time, and this person would become her most capable assistant in Tan Country.
The princess of Tan returned empty-handed from Li Han and was ridiculed by Tuoba Jun. She was very angry and ran to King Tan to complain. Not only did she say that Li Han and the others were rude and arrogant to her, she also insisted that it was Li Han who got the royal genealogy. King Tan was very angry after hearing this and called Li Han and the others back to confront them face to face.
"Since you said that Princess Li Han took the family tree, then tell me what the evidence is!" King Tan said.
"My father, on the night when the family tree was stolen, a maid saw Princess Li Han climbing out of the Sutra Library through the window. I was there at the time. The window was indeed open that night, and I closed it with my own hands later!" Duke Tan said righteously.
Li Shu was unconvinced. "Since you saw it with your own eyes, then call the maid over to identify her in person. Otherwise, we won't know anything based on your own lies. But we will never let anyone put the blame on our country!"
Then, King Tan summoned the maid who could testify and said, "Tell me everything you saw that night. If you hide anything, I will not forgive you!"
Li Han looked at the maid and felt that she looked familiar. She was actually one of the maids she had deliberately tried to get close to in order to find out information. The maid was frightened by the majesty of King Tan and trembled. She stammered and told her what she had seen.
"Why? You just saw that the figure looked like me, and based on that alone you concluded it was me. Isn't that a bit hasty?" Li Han said calmly.
The maid was speechless. "No, no, no, I didn't say it was Her Royal Highness. I just thought she looked like her, so I interrupted her. I didn't know it would turn out like this!"
Li Han smiled and said to King Tan, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so nosy. This maid only said that the thief looked like me, but she didn't say it was me. To use an inappropriate analogy, it's like a mule and a donkey. You can't just confuse right and wrong just because you want to!"
Li Han pretended to be pitiful, and in the eyes of others, it seemed as if she was the kind of person who had been wronged and had no way to express her grievances. In this way, it seemed as if everyone was bullying Li Han. The situation that was originally unfavorable to Li Han was reversed by her in an instant, and King Tan could not say anything.
The princess of Tan felt a chill run down her spine under the sharp gaze of the King of Tan. She then lowered her head silently, and her arrogant demeanor instantly wilted. The King of Tan comforted Li Han and said, "Li Han, it seems this is all a misunderstanding. Don't be sad. I'll ask them to apologize to you right away!"
King Tan's face was changing from white to black, and he changed his expression faster than turning the pages of a book. Li Han was complaining in his heart. At this time, Lu Yi suddenly walked in, "Your son greets your father!"
"Yier, why are you here!"
"I came here today because the family tree was stolen!" Lu Yi took out the family tree, and everyone present except Li Han was surprised.
Lu Yi continued, "Father, this genealogy is actually with me. I originally wanted to use it to look at the royal patterns, but I was in a hurry and neglected it. Later, my sister came and thought there were thieves in the palace, so I wanted to play a joke on her. I didn't expect things to get so serious. It's all my fault!" Lu Yi knelt down as soon as he finished speaking.
King Tan was a little angry, "Nonsense, as a prince, how can you be so ignorant of your limits!"
Princess Tan didn't believe that Lu Yi was the only one who did this. She thought there must be something fishy going on and wanted to step forward to question Lu Yi. However, she was too hasty and accidentally tripped over her right foot with her left foot. She fell and lay on the ground in a "big" shape.
Everyone else couldn't help but cover their mouths to stifle their laughter, but Li Shu laughed out loud without any concealment. The Princess of Tan felt that she had never been so humiliated, and Li Shu's laughter seemed to be mocking her. She became more and more angry, and quickly got up from the ground, rushed towards Li Shu with great momentum, waving her hands, as if she was going to hit him.
Just as the princess of Tan was about to slap Li Shu, Lu Yi stepped forward to stop her and protected Li Shu behind him.
King Tan frowned when he saw this farce and said, "Enough. As princes and princesses, look at what you are like now. I will punish you to reflect on your mistakes in seclusion and think about it carefully!" After that, King Tan waved his sleeves and left.
The Princess of Tan looked at Li Shu and the others with resentment on her face, wishing she could skin them alive. In the end, she was taken away by her maid.
"I am Li Shu, the second princess of the Li Kingdom. Thank you, Prince, for your righteous rescue!" Li Shu saluted, appearing very well-behaved.
"No need to thank me. My sister is like this. I'm apologizing to you on her behalf. I hope you don't blame her!" Lu Yi hurriedly helped Li Shu up, feeling very sorry for what happened just now.
After the two of them briefly introduced themselves, they officially met. Li Han looked at the two of them from the side and smiled meaningfully.
At this moment, Li Han's mind was full of Lu Yi saving her just now. Suddenly, her cheeks turned slightly red, her heart was pounding, and she became uneasy.
