The Emperor and his lover

Chapter 11 | Lie and Punishment

Huang Dewei annoyed signed as he walked away leaving Wang Lei and Feng Zhi behind. He felt vexed at Wang Lei's behaviour when someone stopped in front of him. He stopped in his tracks and looked up towards the lady maid who had stopped in front of him.

'Are you Huang Dewei?' She asked as she looked him from up to down while Huang Dewei spoke up as he nodded his head.

'Yes, I am.'

'You need to come with me then.' The maid said and Huang Dewei looked towards her confused

'Why? and where?'

'Concubine of Emperor, Ai Cong wants to see you.' The maid replied and started walking while confused and puzzled Huang Dewei just followed her. He followed her towards A Cong's residence which was a huge place that provided all types of luxury she could desire. Huang Dewei silently followed the maid as entered inside the residence hall and then entered inside a huge room.

Huang Dewei looked around the room in amazement as it was a very rich luxurious room. The huge bed in the middle which was covered with golden cover bedsheets, long golden colour curtains on the huge window aside, the golden colour carpet on the floor, the white-painted walls, wooden made huge closet at the side and the red colour sofa in the corner on which an insanely beautiful young woman was sitting. That woman must be Ai Cong.

Ai Cong looked up towards Huang Dewei and then stood up from her place and she slowly walked towards Huang Dewei as she took in his presence.

'Well, what's so great about you? You look ordinary.' Ai Cong said that Huang Dewei was taken aback by her insult and also was confused regarding the fact why she was attacking him like this. As much as Huang Dewei knew, he had never met this woman in his entire life.

'May I ask why you want to see me?' Huang Dewei asked still being respectful after all end of the day, she was the Emperor's mistress.

'I heard, his Majesty was with you yesterday night. Is that right?' Ai Cong asked and Huang Dewei was still puzzled as he nodded his head and replied to her

'Yes.'

'Well, I am surprised that you seem not to want to hide the fact that you spend last night with his Majesty. I am assuming you don't seem scared by others to find out about your secret relationship.' Ai Cong said sarcastically and Huang Dewei was bewildered for a second and then everything made sense to him. Do they misunderstand that he and his Majesty share some kind of intimate relationship? Huang Dewei's eyes widen as he understood what she was referring to. Did people misunderstand Wang Lei spending the night in his room as something else other than that he was there to help Huang Dewei? Where these rumours came up from? Huang Dewei was baffled by this new discovery.

'We share only professional relationships.' Huang Dewei quickly replied back in his defend

'Yeah, professional relationships that involve you getting in bed with Emperor in your personal room.' Ai Cong replied bitterly and sarcastically and Huang Dewei turned red on the description of their relationship.

'I have said there is nothing like this.' Huang Dewei repeatedly said in his defence.

'Well, I have a witness who saw his Majesty going into your room late at night and staying there the whole night.' Ai Cong said as she made him look towards two women standing in the corner of the room and Huang Dewei right away recognised them because those two ladies work in the Royal Guard palace cafeteria.

'You have misunderstood. Those are baseless rumours. His Majesty was there to take care of me because I was not feeling well.' Huang Dewei said as he tried to explain the whole situation and clear up the misunderstanding.
