This time, Li Han was preparing to return to the Kingdom of Li. King Tan didn't say anything from beginning to end, and they had a very pleasant conversation. Even so, Li Han still felt very strange. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it, so he didn't think much about it.
On the way back, Li Han noticed that Lu Li was in a bad mood, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is it because you are going back to Li Country tomorrow and you are reluctant to leave Tan Country again?"
Tan Country was Lu Li's home after all, and he had been away from home for many years, so it wasn't surprising that Li Han asked this question. However, Lu Li shook his head and said, "No, I just feel that everything is going too smoothly, and I feel a little uneasy."
Li Han nodded. "Yeah, I feel the same way, but it's okay. We can go back to Li Country tomorrow. When we get home, we'll be fine together."
"Shall we go home together?" Lu Li muttered to himself. Suddenly he felt a little upset and couldn't help but think of what King Tan said to him.
"Lu Li, you've been lurking in Li Kingdom for so many years. The time is almost ripe. The Emperor of Li Kingdom may have begun to be wary of us. We must strike first. What you need to do is find an opportunity to stir up trouble between the two countries within two years. Only then will we have the opportunity to take action against Li Kingdom. I hope you won't let me down!"
The words of King Tan kept lingering in Lu Li's mind. Tan Kingdom was grateful for his upbringing, and Li Kingdom was Li Han's motherland. Lu Li felt extremely tormented, as if a dagger was constantly stabbing into his chest, and he endured it silently.
That night, Li Han, Li Shu, and Tuoba Jun were helping to clean up Li Han's room. Li Han suddenly asked Tuoba Jun, "Has Lu Yuan decided to go back to Li Kingdom with us, or is he planning to stay in Tan Kingdom for a while to look for his lost memories?"
Tuoba Jun stopped what he was doing. "Lu Yuan said he would accompany us back to Li Kingdom. He said that his identity in Tan Kingdom was too dangerous and there was nothing to stay for. Instead of waiting to be involved in the royal family struggle in Tan Kingdom, it would be better to return to Li Kingdom and live freely!"
Li Han smiled, and suddenly Li Shu leaned on Tuoba Yun's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "I think your carefree attitude is fake. I guess you can't bear to leave me!"
Tuoba Jun's face flushed slightly. "I don't know what he's thinking, but if he doesn't go back to Tan Country, then I won't go back either. Anyway, wherever he is, I'm going to stay there."
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pair of infatuated man and resentful woman, so touching and enviable!" Li Shu joked.
Tuoba Jun really couldn't stand Li Shu's sarcastic tone and wanted to teach her a lesson. But before he could do anything, Li Shu ran behind Li Han and made a face at Tuoba Jun.
At this moment, Li Han was like an old hen, Li Shu was like a chick, and Tuoba Jun was an eagle. They were playing in the posture of eagle catching chicks. Their laughter echoed throughout the room, as if all the grievances and unhappiness during this period had disappeared.
The next day, Li Han and his group set off to return to Li State. The people of Tan State spontaneously came to the city gate to see them off. The journey was extremely smooth and they basically didn't encounter any problems. Some ordinary people of Tan State came to send some food to express their gratitude to Li Han for saving their lives.
Originally, Li Han didn't want to accept it, after all, their lives were very difficult, but seeing their determination, he accepted it and gave them some silver, which was equivalent to buying it to facilitate their future lives.
After a long journey, when he returned to the Kingdom of Li, there was a group of soldiers guarding the city gate to welcome Li Han. As soon as Li Han stuck his head out of the sedan chair, he heard them shouting in unison: "Welcome the princess back to the country!" Li Han was really scared by this scene.
As soon as Li Han returned to the palace, she went to pay her respects to the emperor and the empress, "My daughter pays her respects to the emperor, father, and the empress!"
The queen quickly stepped forward to help Li Han up and stroked her cheek. "Good girl, you're finally back. You've suffered so much in Tan Country these days. Look how much thinner you have become."
"Mother, it's okay. I'm back safely," Li Han comforted.
The emperor said, "Han'er, your mission to Tan this time is truly a great achievement. Your father has specially prepared a welcoming banquet for you and will reward you handsomely. Tell me what you want. As long as your father can do it, he will definitely satisfy you!"
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet. When I think about it, I will ask my father for a reward!" Li Han thought for a while, but couldn't think of what to ask for.
The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, whatever you say!"
The Queen saw that Li Han was safe and sound, and that the Emperor was very concerned about Li Han. She was very pleased to see the scene of the loving father and filial daughter.
After paying his respects to the Emperor and the Empress, Li Han withdrew and prepared to make preparations for the evening banquet.
In the evening, during the banquet, the protagonist of the party was Li Han, and Li Han happily pulled Lu Li along. The two of them appeared hand in hand, looking very loving and harmonious. Everyone present praised them as a match made in heaven.
Hua Yunyun, who was standing by, was very angry when she saw how close the two of them were. She stared at Li Han with anger in her eyes, as if she wanted to devour Li Han.
Lu Li noticed Hua Yunyun and thought of what her master and King Tan had said to her in Tan Country. He knew that she must have been behind this and quietly walked behind Hua Yunyun, "You'd better behave yourself, or don't blame me for not remembering our previous friendship!"
Hua Yunyun was so frightened by Lu Li's sudden threat that she was breathless. Suddenly, Tuoba Jun said to the emperor on the high platform: "Your Majesty, Tuoba Jun has an unwelcome request. I beg Your Majesty to grant it."
"Third Princess, you are too polite. If you have anything to say, please feel free to speak up!"
"Your Majesty, Tuoba Jun would like to ask you to give Lu Yuan to me!" When Tuoba Jun said this, everyone present was shocked. They did not expect that Tuoba Jun, as a princess, would be so blatant to ask for a man in public.
"Third Princess, matters between men and women should be based on mutual consent. If the other party disagrees, you can't force them to agree!" The emperor suddenly felt troubled when he thought of Lu Yuan's previous rejection of Tuoba Jun.
At this time, Lu Yuan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to follow the Third Princess!" He looked at Tuoba Jun affectionately.
The emperor looked at the affectionate couple and knew that they were in love with each other. He smiled knowingly. It was rare to meet true lovers in this world. The emperor also wanted to help them and agreed to Tuoba Yun's request. After all, it was time for her to return to the Western Regions, and he wanted to do her one last favor.
Shen Lingli accidentally got a secret recipe that was said to be able to win a person's heart. She spent a lot of money to hire a killer and prepared to take this opportunity to ambush Tuoba Jun on her way back to Xinjiang and kill her.
