"I'm sorry, I may not be able to go to the Western Regions with you. I have more important things to deal with back in Li State." Li Han called Tuoba Jun and the others over and told them that he was planning to go back early.
"Why? Didn't we agree before that we would go to the Western Regions together and I would take you to travel around?" Tuoba Jun was a little unhappy.
Li Han looked at Tuoba Jun and shook his head helplessly, "I'm sorry, I may not be able to go this time. Maybe next time. I have a feeling that something big might happen in Li Kingdom next, and I can't let it go."
Several people looked at each other. From Li Han's tone, it seemed that this matter was very serious. The atmosphere suddenly became serious. Li Han told them what Shen Yuaner had told them in the letter. After listening to what Li Han said, they knew why Li Han was so anxious to return to Li Country.
"Han'er, this Shen Lingli is definitely extraordinary. She was able to go from being a death row prisoner in the dungeon of Li Kingdom to a personal maid beside His Majesty in just a few days, and was even given a title. She is the first one in history. I really underestimated her back then!" Lu Li was a little worried about Li Han.
Li Han frowned. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong with Shen Lingli. The development of the plot was getting more and more out of her control. Just as she had guessed before, if there was no one behind the scenes to fan the flames, it would be impossible for her to achieve such a situation alone.
Li Han looked solemn, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Although she said that, Li Han actually didn't have any idea in her heart, but she didn't want Lu Li and the others to worry about her, so she acted very calm.
Although Li Han decided to return to Li State early, her focus is still on the plague. After many days of efforts, the plague has been basically controlled and suppressed, but she dare not guarantee that the plague will not recur, so she still reminds the villagers to insist on daily protection and disinfection, and not to act on their own if there is any emergency, and to report to the court immediately. Only after everything has been ordered, Li Han can feel relieved and leave with peace of mind.
When Li Han was about to set off, he heard that a villager accidentally fell and sprained his foot while going up the mountain to collect herbs. After hearing this, Li Han took the initiative to ask to take the villager's place and go up the mountain to help collect herbs.
After all, after the outbreak of the plague, there was a great demand for medicinal herbs, but manpower was limited, and everyone had been very busy these days. Li Han didn't want to trouble them, so he thought about helping them share as much of the burden as possible after he left, and went to the mountain alone.
Following the instructions of the villagers, Li Han walked up the mountain along the path behind the village. The herbs on the outskirts had almost been picked, so Li Han had no choice but to walk deeper into the forest. She looked around and finally found a patch of herbs she needed. Li Han ran over excitedly.
She took off the bamboo basket on her back and put it aside, took out a small hoe and concentrated on cutting herbs. Suddenly, a strange man appeared behind the tree behind her. The man looked dazed and his body was staggering, as if he had not woken up yet. Li Han did not notice the man. At this moment, the strange boy fell straight on Li Han's back.
At this time, Li Han was about to turn around, but before she could react, the man had already pounced on her. Li Han subconsciously screamed and wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
"You're a pervert. You pounced on a girl like me in broad daylight. Believe it or not, I will kill you!" Li Han threatened the person who was on top of him without any hesitation. He was speechless. He didn't expect that he would meet a pervert when he went up the mountain to pick herbs.
Li Han wanted to push the person off her, but the person was too heavy, and Li Han couldn't move him. "Hey, did you hear me? Get off me right now, or I'll castrate you!"
No matter how Li Han threatened and struggled, the man remained unmoved. Only then did Li Han realize that the person on his body did not move at all. He couldn't help but sigh that his luck was too bad today and he had encountered a dead person.
After much effort, Li Han finally pushed the "dead man" who was pressing on him away. Panting, he stood up and approached the "dead man". He gently touched the man's nose with his index finger and felt a faint breath. "Tsk, he's not dead. It's so scary!"
Li Han looked around and found that there were only two of them around. She couldn't help but doubt the man's identity, but it was not Li Han's style to watch someone in danger without helping, so she still gritted her teeth and dragged the man back to the village. It took Li Han a lot of effort for a woman to drag a man.
"Someone come!" When they arrived at the village gate, Li Han shouted with his last strength. After hearing Li Han's voice, Lu Li hurried out.
"What happened?" Lu Li quickly supported Li Han and looked at the person lying next to her, feeling a little worried.
Li Han said breathlessly, "Don't worry about me, this man fainted on the mountain, let's find a doctor to see him first!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Han suddenly felt dizzy and a little unsteady. Lu Li noticed that something was wrong with Li Han and hugged her, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Han shook his head. "Maybe he's exhausted. He just needs a rest."
Lu Li was worried about Li Han, so he asked Li Han to rest quickly, while he took the fainted person to see a doctor.
After Li Han returned to his room, he felt an inexplicable heat in his body. This feeling was very familiar. Li Han's expression suddenly became serious. He gently placed the back of his hand on his forehead and muttered, "Sure enough, my luck is really bad today."
The temperature he felt on the back of his hand confirmed that he had a high fever, but he was not sure whether it was a plague, so Li Han took the initiative to isolate himself and boiled some herbs to drink. It is better to be safe than sorry, so Li Han was very cautious.
After Lu Li learned that Li Han might be infected with the plague, he hurried to Li Han's room and knocked on the door nervously, "Li Han, open the door quickly!"
Li Han said weakly, "Lu Li, I might be infected with the plague. You'd better stay away from me. It would be bad if I get infected. You still have to escort Tuoba Yun back to the Western Regions."
"I said I would always protect you. I won't leave, even if it costs me my life!"
Lu Li's attitude was very firm. Li Han kept coughing in the room, her lips turning pale. She felt weak all over and had the illusion that she would die at any time. In fact, Li Han was also very scared, so she called the system in her heart to ask if anything would happen to her, but the system ignored her.
However, Li Han always believed that "the evil will last for a thousand years" and believed that she would be fine. Relying on this belief, Li Han kept holding on. Looking at the closed door, she could feel Lu Li guarding her behind the door.
"Lu Li, why are you so stupid!" Li Han murmured to himself. Although he felt helpless, he felt very warm in his heart.
