186 It’s not a Dream

After Yan returned from the Cold Palace, Shu asked for that permission through the other eunuch. With his nimble talk and all, he finally got the permission, despite the need to wait for a few hours before given.

"Thank you Big Brother Chu."

"Hahaha, this thing is easy for me. But, you sure have it hard, Shu. To have such a troublemaker master," the eunuch called Chu sighed.

Shu gave a dry laugh. It was indeed Yan's habit of making trouble, even from his young days. But, he's not really useless, that setback had changed his course of life and made him a truly terrifying merchant. Of course, this identity was considered a secret, so they would not know about it.

"You're such an excellent eunuch. You could have work for other people with your skill. Just ask for a promotion is easy," Eunuch Chu suggested. He didn't want his friend to stay with that useless prince forever. After all, all he heard about that prince was just how useless he is.

Shu shook his head. He was previously just an ordinary poor person on the street. It was Yan who discovered him and took him in the past. Even if his master is known as someone bad outside, he would never betray the other party.

"I can't. I just can't leave him alone."

Eunuch Chu saw his friend's expression before shrugged. "If you said so then I won't meddle. I just hope the best for you."

"Don't worry, serving my current master is the best," Shu smiled reassuringly. No matter how annoying and bothersome Yan usually was, he would stay by his master side to help him.

"Well, good luck with your work. I have to return first," Chu said before waving his hand. He needed to work again before his master got angry at him.

"Sure, see you later," Shu answered. After he said that, he wondered when they were going to meet again now that Yan is going to leave the capital. He quickly shook those thoughts and walked away with the permit in his hand.

As Shu returned back to the residence to give the news for Yan, there are several people infiltrated the palace. They walked within the dark and approached the Cold Palace. Since the Cold Palace was used for those who oppose the emperor, the guarding here was quite strict. Nevertheless, these groups of people could easily slip in.

"Captain, there are 3 additional guards on the left."

"Catch their attention."

"Yes."

The groups quickly got inside the palace and continue deeper. The guards around the palace, whom even the emperor proud offs, were nothing in front of them. They cannot detect even in the slightest that several people have came into their territory.

The night was still young, but they have successfully got into the deepest part of the palace. They swiftly approached one of the rooms and unlocked it.

"Yes?" the sound of a woman greeted them.

The captain bowed towards the woman in front of them. "My lady, Prince Yan had ordered us to take you out from here."

The woman, Madam Qin nodded calmly. In front of these groups of strangers, she didn't feel any discomfort and naturally joined them. She had heard from his son that the people from Soujin group of elites were extraordinary, but they mean no harm for her.

The people who come didn't touch her and only guard her.

"Stop for a moment."

Madam Qin was very cooperative and followed their instruction calmly.

"There is no one around, let's continue."

The men didn't urge her to be quick. They are really patient with her and they handled the situation truly well.

"Madam, we need to go."

Madam Qin nodded and the guard led her to the side door of the palace. From there, a carriage was ready and they could bring her away from this place.

"Where is Yan'er?"

"Prince Yan will catch up with you outside the capital, please wait inside the carriage first."

The carriage they have prepared was a big one. There was enough space for her to lie down and sleep. Lying on the couch, Madam Qin smiled slightly. How long has it been since the last time she feel this comfortable when sleeping?

Closing her eyes, she hopes that this is not a dream. It's too good to wake up from.

When it's dawn, Yan prepared a carriage to go from the capital. Shu had prepared for everything and they could quickly leave the place. Outside the capital, there was one gorgeous carriage with a few people guarding it.

Yan came down from his carriage and got in that carriage. He smiled at the sight of his sleeping mother as he took a seat across from her.

"Mother, I have fulfilled my first promise."

The carriage has gone for several kilometers when Madam Qin woke up. She looked around in confusion. The light has made her eyes uncomfortable. She looks to the man before her with disbelieving gaze.

"Yan'er."

"Yes, mother?" Yan shifted his gaze from the book that he read and looked towards his mother with a smile.

Madam Qin broke into tears. She can't believe that she finally free. The night before, it was not a dream, it's a reality. She had hoped for this day for so long and finally it comes true.

She reached her hands forward then hugs Yan closely. She wanted to confirm that this is not a dream and she was freed from the Cold Palace.

"Mother, come on. Stop crying," Yan said with soft tone.

He can't understand the feeling of his mother coming out from that place after being confined for so long, but he knew that he was happy to be reunited with his mother. From now on, they were going to be together and his mother didn't need to wait for him inside that place anymore.

"Yan'er, what will you do from now on?" Madam Qin asked in a soft tone.

Yan smiled. "This is only the start, mother. That emperor had to pay for what he had done all these years."

Madam Qin nodded. She won't disagree with her son. "You do what you think must be done. Mother won't intervene."

"Thank you mother," for him, just having his mother save was enough.
