Chapter 1188 [The Glory of Tang Dynasty 15]

In the Guangping Prince's Mansion, Li Chu sat on a chair with a gloomy face, obviously still angry with Shen Zhenzhu. Seeing this, Shen Zhenzhu hurriedly stepped forward and explained softly: "Prince, An Qingxu asked me to meet him that day, but it was not what you thought. I have known him since childhood, and he just found An'er's longevity lock and wanted to tell me the news about An'er."

After listening to Shen Zhenzhu's explanation, Li Chu's anger subsided a little, but he still said with some dissatisfaction: "Even if this is the case, you shouldn't go to see him alone!"

Shen Zhenzhu said aggrievedly: "I know you are worried about me, Your Majesty, but I really just want to find out about An'er's situation. Besides, there is no other relationship between An Qingxu and me."

Li Chu looked at Shen Zhenzhu, sighed, and said with emotion: "Forget it, forget it, I was worrying about nothing." After that, he stood up angrily, turned around and walked towards the study.

In the study, Zhang Deyu was standing aside. When he saw Li Chu coming in, he hurried forward and said, "Your Highness, Mrs. Shen just brought in the prepared medicinal food and left a note saying, 'Those who left me, yesterday cannot be kept; those who disturbed my heart, today I am troubled'."

Li Chu sternly rebuked Zhang Deyu, telling him not to let anyone enter his study room casually, as if it was an extremely important place that no one could enter without permission. However, at the moment when Zhang Deyu turned to leave, the corners of Li Chu's mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

It turned out that Li Chu's outward rebuke was just to cover up his tracks. In fact, he had long been salivating over the bowl of medicinal food on the desk. He quickly picked up the medicinal food, carefully blew away the hot air on the surface, and then gently took a sip. The rich medicinal aroma and sweet taste filled his mouth, making him smile with satisfaction.

At the same time, Murong Linzhi was standing in the distance, silently observing all this. She knew very well that Li Chu was dissatisfied and angry at the moment, because he had been angry with Zhenzhu. Murong Linzhi was worried that Zhenzhu would ignore her true feelings because she was so focused on the Shen family's feud, and thus drift away from Li Chu.

In order to ease Li Chu's mood, Murong Linzhi specially asked Li Tan to invite Li Chu to go boating on the lake to enjoy the scenery, hoping to take this opportunity to ease the relationship between the two. Li Chu finally accepted the invitation, but what was unexpected was that he even brought Cui Caiping and Shen Zhenzhu with him.

When Cui Caiping saw Murong Linzhi and Li Tan were also by the lake, she suddenly felt dissatisfied. She felt like an unnecessary big light bulb here, completely destroying the original romantic atmosphere. Cui Caiping couldn't help rolling her eyes and secretly complained in her heart. This was really embarrassing.

"Your Highness, you guys go have fun. I want to go for a walk by myself." Cui Caiping said to Li Chu, suppressing her unhappiness. Before Li Chu could respond, she left in a hurry with Zi Yuan, leaving Li Chu and the others in shock.

Seeing that Li Neng and Li Chu had something to discuss, Murong Linzhi tactfully took Shen Zhenzhu away with him, leaving Li Neng and Li Chu behind.

After the two men left, Li Neng looked at Li Chu and said with a half-smile, "Brother, is that Cui Shi just now like this on weekdays? I see that she doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic towards you, brother."

Li Chu frowned upon hearing this, and answered thoughtfully, "I don't really know what Cui is planning. I just find it a little strange. People say that she is infatuated with me, but when I saw her today, it was not the case at all. Not only does she have no love for me, she even showed some disdain. If I wasn't sure that she was Cui Caiping herself, I would have doubted the authenticity of this rumor."

After hearing this, Li Neng nodded and agreed: "Perhaps this rumor is wrong. After all, people's words are scary, and many things are often based on rumors and are far from the truth."

Li Chu was silent for a moment, then continued: "Whether this rumor is true or not, the Cui family and I are definitely not the same kind of people."

Li Neng saw this and quickly agreed, "Brother, you are absolutely right. By the way, brother, there is one more thing. Ruo'er wants to escape from the marriage, and I want to help her."

Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, if you need my help, just let me know and I will do my best to help you."

Li Tan was relieved to see Li Chu was so straightforward. He said gratefully, "Thank you, brother! I feel much more relieved after hearing your words."

……

Shen Zhenzhu felt guilty towards Li Chu, so she worked hard to collect morning dew and made a sleeping incense for Li Chu. Zhang Deyu saw this and praised Shen Ruren, saying that she had good intentions for Li Chu, which made Li Chu a little dissatisfied. He felt that Zhang Deyu was too talkative.

Li Chu walked into the yard and saw Zhenzhu climbing the ladder to help him collect morning dew. His dissatisfaction immediately dissipated, and was replaced by heartache for Zhenzhu. He walked up to her, held the ladder, and asked Zhenzhu why she had to work so hard.

Shen Zhenzhu explained that she knew Li Chu had trouble sleeping, so she wanted to use morning dew as a scent to help him fall asleep. Li Chu was moved after hearing this, and he forgave Zhenzhu's previous deception, and the two reconciled.

Li Chu told Zhenzhu that he hoped she would stop hiding things from him and tell him everything. Zhenzhu nodded in agreement, and the relationship between the two became closer.

However, He Lingyi was skeptical about the reconciliation between Li Chu and Zhenzhu. She reminded Li Chu not to easily believe Zhenzhu's one-sided words and should check the relationship between Shen Zhenzhu and the An Mansion. Li Chu disagreed. He felt that Zhenzhu was a kind person and would not betray him. At this time, he completely believed in Zhenzhu.

At the same time, An Lushan's informant in the teahouse in Beijing asked Shen Zhenzhu to meet. The informant told Zhenzhu that there was new progress in the case of the Shen family's extermination, but he needed Shen Zhenzhu to exchange the information from the Guangping Palace. Zhenzhu remembered the documents she saw in the Guangping Palace and knew that An Lushan was plotting something bad, so she decided to conceal the key information and only tell the informant some minor details.

Zhenzhu told the informant that Li Chu was investigating Li Chao of Ruyi Casino, and the informant seemed to be thinking about something.

The informant handed a blueprint to Zhenzhu, which was densely marked with the locations of various shops in the capital. These shops were widely distributed, covering all walks of life, but they all had one thing in common - they were related to the mysterious secret symbol.

When An Lushan learned the news, he immediately realized that the situation was not good. He acted decisively and arranged for people to quickly move Ruyi Casino to avoid being discovered by Yang Guozhong and others.

At the same time, Yang Guozhong also learned through his own channels that An Lushan was secretly running the Ruyi Casino. Without hesitation, he immediately tortured the people in the Ruyi Casino, trying to pry out the casino's secret defense measures from them.

After a lot of torture, the people in Ruyi Casino finally couldn't stand it anymore and told Yang Guozhong all the secrets of the casino. Yang Guozhong was overjoyed and led a large number of people to attack Ruyi Casino.

However, just when Yang Guozhong and others were about to arrive at Ruyi Casino, Li Chu suddenly appeared and tried to dissuade Yang Guozhong. Li Chu knew Yang Guozhong's character very well and knew that once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping to stop this unnecessary search.

Unfortunately, Yang Guozhong didn't take Li Chu seriously at all. He turned a deaf ear to Li Chu's dissuasion and insisted on searching Ruyi Casino. Li Chu had no choice but to watch Yang Guozhong and his men rush into the casino.

In fact, Li Chu knew very well that Yang Guozhong's impulsive behavior would not have any good results in the end. The reason why he came to dissuade him was just to make the situation more chaotic, so that he could take the opportunity to plant his own people in the gambling house and prepare for future actions.

Sure enough, after Yang Guozhong searched the gambling house extensively, he did not find the evidence he wanted. Although he was a little disappointed, he still reluctantly submitted the account book he found in the gambling house to the emperor, trying to use it to prove his own achievements.
