He and The Blind Concubine had been together for many years, The Blind Concubine had never once gotten angry at him. To the point of when he was angry, The Blind Concubine would exhaust his mind to find a way to comfort him.
He and The Blind Concubine fed and raised Yu Li together. Basking in the sun on their small yard together. Chatting idly. Sitting peacefully together until the sun fell behind the mountain.
He loved when the Blind Concubine was having a smiling expression.
The life in the Cold Palace was hard, however, he felt that that was the happiest period of his life.
He was a just mere servant, he hadn’t eaten many kinds of fruits. However, he felt that the most delicious fruit in this world, he had already tasted.
In that winter, in front of the little furnace.
That kind of feeling, truly couldn’t be compared to other things.
The moment he entered the serving quarter, Xiao Bao caught a glimpse of the staggering Bling Concubine that came running his way.
He hurriedly walked forward, “Master, be careful. You could fall!”
The Blind Concubine hugged him tightly, on his face, he was wearing a tearful smile.
Xiao Bao’s heart was stung by a spell of pain, “I am here, I am here.”
The Blind Concubine seized his hand, not wanting to let go, as if afraid if once he let it go, he couldn’t grab it anymore.
Xiao Bao was a little embarrassed. He shyly laughed: “Master, Xiao Bao will never go, for the rest of my life, I will stay by your side.”
“Stupid child!” The Blind Concubine revealed a smile which hadn’t been seen for a long time, “You are saying foolish things again.”
He held Xiao Bao’s hand, saying his heartfelt, “Master wants you to go out of here after all.”
Go to a far faraway place, never to come back.
“Master, don’t say those kinds of words again”, Xiao Bao lowered his head, “Wherever Master is, so is Xiao Bao, I will never leave your side.”
The Blind Concubine didn’t say anything anymore, just slightly laughed.
Once in a while he would say these two words “Stupid child.”
He was already dead, decayed and turned into dust, he could never have whatever he desired anymore.
He poured out all of his hopes and entrusted them onto this child, Xiao Bao.
If Xiao Bao could go out from the Palace, be free, he would also be free, without any regret.

Today Jue Yu came to visit him at the serving quarter. General Qi also tagged along.
The Blind Concubine’s mood had become better, he drank a small bowl of porridge.
Jue Yu told him: “This evening, I will set out to go home to my Pear Flowers Garden. Qi Sheng also will go home with me.”
The Blind Concubine wasn’t able to restrain his smile: “Then, congratulations.”
Jue Yu proudly lifted his face upwards, from his sleeve, he drew out the Deed of Slavery and fluttered it in the air, “Right now I am the Master, he is the slave, I told him to go home, he wouldn’t have the guts to disagree.”
Qi Sheng bent over to plant a kiss on Jue Yu’s face, then gently said: “Of course, I am all yours.”
Jue Yu said to Mu Yan: “We are leaving, you have to take care of yourself, the prescription that I gave you, take them on time on a daily basis, you may not skip even once.”
The Blind Concubine nodded his head: “You don’t have to worry.”
He suddenly grabbed Jue Yu’s hand, “I want to ask you a favor, you have to agree.”
