Huang Dewei annoyed walked inside the royal guard palace as quietness welcomed him. Everyone had already gone to their rooms. He make his way towards his room and saw Qi Zixin was waiting for him in front of his door. As he saw Huang Dewei coming he smile and greeted him.

'Where were you, big brother? I was waiting for you.' Qi Zixin said and Huang Dewei looked towards him.

'Big brother?' Huang Dewei asked

'Well, you look like you are older than me. How old are you?' Qi Zixin replied cheekily

'Twenty Two.' Huang Dewei replied

'Well, I am Twenty- one. See I am younger than you so you are my older brother from now wards.' Qi Zixin said as Huang Dewei walked and put the key in the door of his room.

'Why are you here waiting?' Huang Dewei asked as he opened the door and they entered inside when he heard Qi Zixin.

'I was waiting for you. You are late again and missed your dinner. I saved some food for you.' Qi Zixin said as he forward a black bag he was holding. Huang Dewei hold the bag and looked inside. It had some food in it. Huang Dewei got impressed with him.

'Thank you.' Huang Dewei said genuinely because he was actually hungry and he knew he was late and won't be able to eat anything. He was ready to sleep hungry tonight.

'Mention not. I hide some for you. Hope you enjoy it.' Qi Zixin said as Huang Dewei took out the food and look inside. It was dumplings, rice and some curry. He sat down on the bed and put his food in front of him. Qi Zixin also followed him and sat down in front of him. Huang Dewei started eating and he seem very hungry. Qi Zixin thought while looking at him as he spoke up

'How was your first day?'

'Long day. I was asked to clean the horse ranch and feed them.' Huang Dewei replied as he swallow down food as quickly as possible.

'No wonder you seem very tired and hungry.' Qi Zixin said and silence took place between them which was broken by Huang Dewei after a few seconds

'Can I ask something from you?' Huang Dewei said while eating and Qi Zixin looked towards then nodded his head

'How can we meet the Empress?' Huang Dewei asked curiously

'The Empress? Why do you want to meet the Empress?' Qi Zixin asked confused And Huang Dewei thought for an excuse. He can't tell him the real reason that they used to be lovers and he was here to get her.

'Well...my younger sister is her fan. She made a gift for her and she wanted me to give it to her.' Huang Dewei lied

'Well, then you should leave that in the gift centre. It will reach the Empress.' Qi Zixin replied nonchalantly and Huang Dewei get frustrated. He knew that we can leave gifts for Empress and Emperor at the gift centre and the guard would send those gifts, letters or complaints from the nation to Emperor and Empress.

'She asked me to give it to Empress personally. I promise my sister so I wanted to fulfil it.' Huang Dewei continued said as he lied

'Well...then you should talk to his highness because if you have his permission letter with his stamp on it then the guard will let you in otherwise no other way. You could have talked if you were Empress' personal servant but you are not either you can be because you are male. Only females can be Empress' servant.' Qi Zixin explained and Huang Dewei nodded his head disappointed while Qi Zixin thought hard and spoke up

'Unless you go under in a disguise as a female servant.' Qi Zixin said as he laughs at his stupid idea but Huang Dewei looked towards him and then his eyes shined with hope '...but I would not recommend that. It's risky.' Qi Zixin added but Huang Dewei smile widen because it was a good idea. Maybe risky but Huang Dewei's only option. He really needs to meet Xin Ying and let her know his presence here in the palace. The silence took place between them as Huang Dewei finished his food.

'Thank you. Will you take me to market tomorrow? I wanted to buy some stuff?' Huang Dewei said as he looked towards Qi Zixin who smile and nodded his head

'Sure. I will take you once you are back at guard palace. Don't be late tomorrow.' Qi Zixin said and Huang Dewei nodded his head and Qi Zixin got up from his place

'Well, I will be going. It's getting late. Have a nice sleep.' Qi Zixin said and Huang Dewei nodded his head

'Same to you.' Huang Dewei said and Qi Zixin walked out of his room. He changes his clothes then laid down on his bed. The darkness was all over in his room but his thoughts were all bright thinking about someone....someone he should not be thinking about...He wonders if his hand was fine. Or what he was doing? Was he with Chen Ju? Are they spending a passionate night together? So many thoughts wondered in his head while he still could feel a burning sensation on his waist where he touched him.

Huang Dewei moved his hand and put it inside his pants under the blanket. He felt like he was losing his head. He starts rubbing his manhood engaging in self-pleasure. All his crazy thoughts about Wang Lei were making him go insane as his magnificent image came in front of his eyes...Huang Dewei hand pace increased as he closed his eyes and arched his back on the bed. Wang Lei image was extraordinary...so beautiful that he felt he could stare at him all his life...His eyes....his long hair...his delicate skin...his lips...everything about him was breathtaking...Huang Dewei kept his pace as a moan escaped from his lips...He felt that all his thoughts were forbidden...sinful...yet he could not help but think about him... He should be thinking about Xin Ying yet all he could think of him. Huang Dewei increase his pace as he reached his orgasm and his eyes flew open.

He heavily breathe then push away the blanket and came out of his bed. He started pacing around the room anxiously, worried and angry. He really had lost his mind? He shook his head in unbelievable shock because he could not believe that he masturbate while thinking about Wang Lei. He was here to get Xin Ying then what he was thinking? He deserves to die. He needed to meet Xin Ying as soon as possible and needed to go away from here quickly after completing his mission because being near Wang Lei was getting dangerous. He was desiring for something forbidden.

All night he could not sleep over his own disgusting thoughts. The next morning, he came back to work. He sighed before he knock on Wang Lei office chamber and entered inside. His gaze fell on Wang Lei who was standing near the window while holding a book in his hand. His back was facing him as he turned over briefly with his beautiful face and Huang Dewei breath catch in his throat and he greeted as he quickly looked away. He was very ashamed and embarrassed by himself.

'How was your night?' Wang Lei asked as he went back to read his book and Huang Dewei gulped in as he spoke up

'Good.' Huang Dewei simply replied 'what else he can say that he masturbates, self-pleasure himself and reach orgasm while thinking about him.' Wang Lei looked back towards him who was staring down on the floor.

'Are you not going to ask about my hand?' Wang Lei asked

'It must be fine. You have many people to take care of you anyway.' Huang replied bitterly even though he had no idea he was being like this. Something just snapped inside him whereas Wang Lei stares at him for a few seconds then turned back towards the window.

'Come and change my bandage.' Wang Lei ordered and Huang Dewei looked towards him who had started reading the book. Huang Dewei slowly walked towards him with the bandage box and stopped next to him. Wang Lei closed the book and put it away as he turned over and put his hand in front of him and leaned back carelessly on the window. Huang Dewei quickly looked away avoiding his eyes and started taking off the old bandage to do the new one. He could feel his intense gaze and he did not dare look towards him.

He took the old one out and started putting new. The sweat was forming on his forehead because he was very nervous...he was nervous being this close to him. He tried to focus his mind on the bandage and took two-step away once he was finished. He still did not look up towards Wang Lei who was still looking at him. Huang Dewei stood still for the next order when he felt Wang Lei's hand over his chin as he made him look up. Their eyes met... Huang Dewei eyes met with his cold memorising eyes.

'Are you this angry about the fact that I did not let you do the bandage last night that you are not even looking towards me?' Wang Lei asked and Huang Dewei froze in his place. Once because he touched him and second he was not angry but was embarrassed regarding his new developing weird feeling towards Wang Lei. Nothing came out from his mouth as he gulped in. His silence makes Wang Lei angrier as he pushed him into the window while still holding him from his chin.

'I am asking for something so I would prefer to have some answer.' Wang Lei asked coldly

'It's...nothing like this, your highness. I apologised.' Huang Dewei said as he looked towards him and Wang Lei was seriously looking at him and then he moved closer. Huang Dewei felt his heart jump inside his chest.

'Don't avoid looking towards me ever again. When you are talking to me look at me and answer.' Wang Lei whispered ordered and Huang Dewei quickly nodded his head as Wang Lei moved away.

'I have a mission for you. Go to the information centre and find 'Tale of Northern Vallery'. You would find a letter inside that book.' He heard Wang Lei order him then looked towards him. Huang Dewei was about to quickly look down but he stopped himself and nodded his head.

'Get that letter safely to me without opening it. Can I trust you?' Wang Lei asked and Huang Dewei looked dead in his eyes and nodded his head as insurance that he can trust him. Wang Lei nodded his head and looked away.

'You have to go undercover. Make sure nobody know about your identity.' Wang Lei said as e walked and sat down on his seat. Huang Dewei was surprised this time. He quickly walks towards him.

'Undercover?'

'Yes, Change your guard clothes into ordinary clothes and also wear this.' Wang Lei said as he opened the drawer and took a black mask from it. Huang Dewei confused stares at it and Wang Lei looked at his confused face

'Do you trust me?' Wang Lei asked and Huang Dewei looked towards him then nodded his head

'Good, then do what I am saying without any question. ' Wang Lei ordered and Huang Dewei looked towards him then picked up the mask and nodded his head

'You can go now and do what I told you to do.' Wang Lei ordered as he opened the file in front of him and Huang Dewei nodded his head then walked out. He looked at the mask and wonders what was happening and what Wang Lei was doing? Everything seems fishy but then he thought he was not going to stick here for too long. He will meet Xin Ying soon and will be gone far away from here. He will just do what Wang Lei asked him to do. Huang Dewei thought as he walks out.
