186 It’s not a Dream (1/2)

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.
