The King of the Western Regions had extended such a warm invitation, but he was still a little unhappy when he heard Li Han refuse. It seemed that Li Han was a little ungrateful. Lu Li noticed that there was something wrong with the King of the Western Regions' expression and quickly stepped forward. "Your Majesty, we appreciate your kindness, but this time we do have important matters to report back to the Kingdom of Li and cannot delay even a moment."
Li Han had already explained the reason to Tuoba Jun and the others, so Tuoba Jun stepped forward to explain, "Father, we did encounter some problems along the way and need to report to the Emperor of Li, so please don't try to keep us here any longer!"
After hearing his daughter say this, the King of the Western Regions couldn't say anything more. After all, she had been escorting him all the way. If he criticized her too much, it would seem that he, as the King of the Western Regions, was unkind. So he smiled and said, "Since Yun'er has said so, I will not keep you here. When you have time, you are welcome to come to the Western Regions again. I welcome you anytime."
"Thank you, King of the Western Regions!" Lu Li and Li Han responded.
Tuoba Jun walked forward, took Li Han's hand, and said with some sadness, "Li Han, I don't know when we will meet again after this separation. I really can't bear to leave you!" As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
Girls value feelings the most. After going through so many things, Li Han and Tuoba Jun have become close friends who share weal and woe, and have become trustworthy sisters. Now they are about to part, which makes Tuoba Jun a little overwhelmed.
Li Han touched Li Han's head and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely meet again. When I return to Li Country and finish all my affairs, I will come back to find you. I will still rely on you to protect me then."
Tuoba Jun burst into laughter and said, "Okay, I'll keep my word. If you don't come by then, I'll go to Li State to settle the score with you!"
"Okay, I'll let you do whatever you want with me when the time comes!" The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
Lu Li and Lu Yuan did not act as affectionate as two girls. A simple hug and a glance were enough. Lu Li looked at Lu Yuan and was really happy for him. As the prince of Tan Kingdom, he could be free and at ease. Lu Li was really envious of him.
After saying goodbye, Lu Li and Li Han rushed back to Li Country as fast as they could. On the one hand, Li Han wanted to report the plague incident, and on the other hand, she also planned to investigate some of Shen Lingli's affairs. Li Han always felt a little uneasy in her heart, as if something was going to happen. At this moment, she just hoped that this uneasiness was just an illusion.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the gate of Li State City and were stopped by a group of guards. Li Han took out the princess token from her bosom and said, "I am the eldest princess of Li State. Open the city gate quickly!"
A guard stepped forward and saluted Li Han, "Your Highness, I'm sorry I can't obey your order and cannot let you two in."
"What? Why can't I come in? Look carefully, I'm the eldest princess of the Li Kingdom, this is my home!" Li Han was very surprised. She didn't expect that she would be stopped outside the door after going out and coming back home. "Lu Li, don't worry about them, go in."
As soon as Li Han finished speaking, the guards drew their weapons and pointed them at Li Han and the others. "I'm sorry, Princess. We are only following orders. We hope that Princess and the General can forgive us."
"Following orders? Whose orders are you following? This is the eldest princess of Li Kingdom. Apart from His Majesty and the Queen, I don't think anyone dares to stop us from entering the city." Lu Li roared angrily.
Lu Li has a great reputation in the Li army. Many people have regarded Lu Li, the god of war general, as their life goal, so they don't dare to act too rashly.
"General, we really aren't trying to embarrass you on purpose. This is all His Majesty's instructions. If you don't believe me, here's a letter from His Majesty. You should understand why after reading it."
The guard carefully took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Han with both hands, "Please take a look."
Li Han glanced at it briefly and frowned, "Are you sure this was written to me by my father?"
The guard nodded, and Lu Li asked, "What does it say?"
"The Emperor said that we had just passed through a plague area and might be carrying the plague. He was worried that we would spread the plague to the people in the city after entering. So he asked us to be quarantined outside the city for a period of time. The imperial physician will come to check on us every day to make sure there are no problems before we can enter the city..."
After Li Han finished speaking the contents of the letter, he felt a little confused and a little disappointed. Looking at the letter, Li Han felt that this was not like his father. Usually, his father treated him very lovingly and would never treat him like this, or even leave him outside the city to isolate him.
"Besides leaving this letter, did my father say anything else to me?"
The guard at the gate shook his head again. "His Majesty only ordered us to guard here and inform the two of the quarantine. Nothing else."
Li Han was still a little disappointed and looked at Lu Li, "Lu Li, let's go!"
Lu Li seemed to be still unwilling to give in. He didn't want to see Li Han being treated like this. Looking at her like this, he felt a little distressed in his heart. As he spoke, he was about to rush in.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has said that you two should be isolated outside the city. Please understand me. I am only following orders. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for us to handle this matter."
Lu Li couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He clenched his fists and seemed to be ready to fight with the guards. Li Han was afraid that Lu Li would be confused by anger and do something stupid.
She quickly grabbed the somewhat angry Lu Li and shook her head at him, "Lu Li, forget it. They are also following the emperor's orders. Don't be angry with them. Father did this for the sake of the people of Li. As the eldest princess of Li, I should understand. Just like they said, let's wait until we are sure that everything is fine before going back. It will only take a day or two anyway. It's nothing. We can go out for a walk together and relax."
After saying that, Li Han turned and left, her back looking a little lonely. Her home was right behind her, but now she couldn't go back. This feeling made Li Han a little sad. Looking at Li Han like this, Lu Li felt bitter in his heart. He had no choice but to follow her, leading the horse, and went forward to hug Li Han to comfort her.
Shen Lingli was very happy when she learned in the palace that Li Han had returned to the city but was stopped by the city guards. As the eldest princess of the Li Kingdom, she was stopped outside by the Li Kingdom guards. She was very happy that she couldn't return home. "Li Han, I really want to see the expression on your face when you were stopped outside. It must be very funny!"
Shen Lingli was laughing crazily in the house. She had been demoted to the border and had no home to return to. She suffered a lot outside. She planned to blame all the pain on Li Han and let her have a taste of the same feeling.
