He Lingyi reminded Li Chu not to believe in the one-sided words of Pearl, and to check the relationship between Pearl and Anfu, but Li Chu was unwilling. At this time, he completely believed in Pearl.
An Lushan informant who was staying at the teahouse in Beijing met with Pearl. He said that there had been new developments in the Shen family’s Miemen case, but he wanted Pearl to exchange information from the Quang Binh Palace. Pearl recalled the documents he had seen in the Quang Binh Palace. Knowing that An Lushan was plotting unruly, she deliberately concealed the key news and only told the informant some details. She said that Li Chu was investigating Li Chao of Ruyi Gambling Shop. The informant gave Pearl a drawing. Above it were shops all over the capital. These shops were in all walks of life, but they were all related to the mysterious secret talisman.
After receiving the news from Pearl, An Lushan immediately arranged for people to transfer the Ruyi Gambling Shop. And Yang Guozhong also found out that An Lushan was operating a Ruyi Gambling House in secret, so he tortured the Ruyi Gambling House to extract a confession, learned of the security of the Ruyi Gambling House, and eagerly led people to search the Ruyi Gambling House. Li Chu came to dissuade him, but Yang Guozhong didn’t listen at all.
In fact, Li Chu knew that this would be the result. He just made the water more muddy, so he could take advantage of the chaos and endure it. Master Yang Guozhong mobilized people to search, and said triumphantly that the ledger found in the gambling shop was handed over to the emperor, but An Lushan had a countermeasure to deal with it freely in front of the emperor. His rhetoric was even more impeccable. Throughout the years of Shi Siming’s military exploits, the emperor did not punish An Lushan but rewarded him.
Sooner or later, Emperor Anlu will become suspicious of himself, asking An Qingxu to help him investigate the military strength in the palace, and at the same time rectify his own military strength. An Qingxu heard this and knew that the rumors were true, and his father did intend to rebel.
Yang Guozhong received a secret report and learned that Dongzebu had been arrested, so he sent people to ambush on the way to Beijing, preparing to attack the Khan of Huihe. The people around Khan were bought and were in an ambush. Fortunately, Li Chu, who came to greet him, arrived in time and took Khan back to his palace.
Pearl saw Khan and said that he was forced to conceal his identity before. Later, if Khan didn’t mind, he would call himself by the name of pearl. Khan was stunned. He wondered why the pearl appeared in the Quang Binh Palace, Li Chu got up and walked into Pearl and took Pearl’s shoulders. Khan understood. He congratulated the prince for getting what he wanted.
