Intense Love - PART I

If there was one thing Xiao Niao had never been, it was stupid. Even when she was Mei Yang, her intelligence was not at all deficient. She always had a great instinct for putting puzzles together and understanding things that many adults sometimes had difficulty understanding. That had not changed. When she stopped to analyze the situation more clearly, her savior was her former fiancé Yan Feng.

"Yan Feng ... Yan Feng ..."

How did these things get to this point? Of all the people in the world, did she have to find Yan Feng? However, she remembered perfectly well that he was not of Sunri's royal family, so how did he ascend to the throne? Was it possible that she was mistaken and that her savior was not him?

- Impossible! - She spoke quietly moving away from the door and walking back to the bed. Platinum hair and different colored eyes, there was not a being in this world that that matched these characteristics. She remembered when she saw him for the first time and almost lost the ground she had stepped on to witness such a fascinating beauty. She had no doubts he was Yan Feng.

"I need to get out of here ... Quick!" - Xiao Niao thought when faced with the most complicated situation in her life after she was sent away from Naran. Yan Feng would soon recognize her and she did not want to get into conflict with someone who was no longer she. She was not Mei Yang anymore.

"You look like a person ..."

Yan Feng's words came to mind at that moment making her spine run cold with nervousness. He had recognized her. He knew who she was and was just testing her to see if the young Miss Xiao Niao was in fact his late fiancée Mei Yang. Her mind soon became cloudy with so many thoughts that it ran frantically that sharp stitches ran in her stomach. Xiao Niao squirmed in pain as she wrapped her arms around her knee.

I need to get out of here ... I need to get out of this place...

She just repeated that phrase repeatedly.

The walls were high and guarded by guards day and night! If she left and was caught off guard, she would be taken to Minister Li and then her identity would be revealed. No! She did not want to go that way. She had to be another way to escape without being seen...

Zhao! He was out of it! Xiao Niao stretched her body ignoring the pain she still felt and cleared her thoughts by adjusting her simple dress. If she found Zhao, she would find her way out of that mansion. Nevertheless, if she stayed in that room, she was in serious danger of Yan Feng returning and she did not want to be in the same presence as him. Xiao Niao did not know the true intentions of her former fiancé, she did not know who was a true ally of the young Mei Yang in the past and she did not want to test to find out.

Therefore, she headed towards the door, but there was a cacophony of voices and sounds scattered about steps and objects that awoke her. If she left that place, it would be really her end. There were people around the rooms, which would be problematic for her. Xiao Niao returned without knowing which way to go, her feet looked like they were going to make a hole in the ground so much that she spun from side to side. She was completely lost ... Maybe if she was not blind and pathetically useless...

"No!" she thought, chasing away those infamous thoughts. She would not regret her blindness. There was a time in her life when she felt pitiful and worthy of death and pity, but Meng Hao made her see a new world where she could survive with what she had. Meng Hao was her older brother and she would not disappoint him with petty thoughts again.

- But if I stay, he can recognize me ... - Xiao Niao stopped walking and thought about so many things at the same time, that her breath failed miserably making her chest ache. The air did not seem to reach her lungs and everything became a great fog again within her, forming an unusual despair. The painful memories of Mei Yang came again and the image of Yan Feng as a boy seemed to play with awareness of her.

Their first meeting, when she still thought she was on top of the world. The simple conversations they had, until they reached the end that she took. Xiao Niao never stopped to analyze who was her ally or not inside the palace while she still lived as Mei Yang. Nevertheless, when she came across Yan Feng again she concluded that he was one of her enemies. Obviously, Sunri had some deal with Naran to bring her down and for Amon on the throne. Xiao Niao remembered who was the crazy idea of her marrying the son of the general of Sunri, everything had come from General Qiang Mao, it was obvious that they were allies.

Yan Feng and Qiang Mao.

Her heart raced, hitting the most sensitive spots on her body. Her head hurt to the point that she fell to the ground trying to hold on to the emotions that seemed to flow like a river in her body. It was so strong that it made her pull in the air hard to feel every fiber of her body compose itself.

At the same moment that the sound of the firm footsteps entered the place was on the floor, Xiao Niao held her heart when she could see that she was not alone! There was more than one person in the place, she could tell by the amount of steps that circulated through the environment.

- Who is this? - A female voice sounded cold in the place scaring Xiao Niao who was kneeling in the place and holding the hem of her dress tightly. The woman who asked had no answer, leaving the air denser than it already was.

- Nobody knows who this woman is in my fiance's room, so I will find out myself ... - Li Jia-Li spoke with hate in her heart. - Guards! Guards!

Now more steps entered the place scaring Xiao Niao for good and even without being able to defend herself she was dragged by strong hands out of the room while she was followed by Li-Jia-Li and her servants. The courtyard where Yan Feng's quarters were located was soon filled with buzz everywhere. Everyone seemed frightened by the sight of a woman blindfolded and being dragged by guards to the center. Li-Jia-Li who just waited patiently all morning for that woman to be alone and finally have her revenge. As soon as she woke up, her servants held a short vigil until Yan Feng was summoned to war meetings with his father and the servant named Zhao was sent out of the palace with some armaments for the army that was preparing for war. Now it was just the two of them and she was sure to get rid of that blind woman. The images of her seducing Yan Feng were still vivid and she seemed to tear her chest out with anger. She was going to teach that young woman who was in charge of the mansion.

"What were you doing in Sunri's king's room?" Were you looking for something? Who sent you? - Li-Jia-Li ignored the fact that she saw Yan Feng completely enchanted by the blind woman and decided to add some stories. If she interrogated Xiao Niao as a lover, it would be a disgrace to her even though she was engaged to Sunri's king. However, if she pointed out that the woman was a thief or a spy, she would be easily handed over to her father's investigative division and there she would have her end.

- I ... I don't ... - Xiao Niao was too nervous to answer, she was still too confused by the new discovery that Yan Feng was the same man who had saved her.

- Okay, since you do not confess your crime, I will make you reveal at the behest of who came to this mansion to spy on the king. - Jia-Li told them to bring the stick with which her father corrected his traitors. A small table was set in the middle of the courtyard and Xiao Niao tried to struggle to escape. Nevertheless, they were two strong men who held her arm preventing her from acting. Her body was tied to the table and the whip of three strips with small hooks on the end was handed over to the young lady's guard.

Boseph, who was behind the pillar watching all the movements, approached the blind woman; his hands stretched the whip strips with the slight preparation for punishment. He did not like to hit women, but if his lady told him he would obey like a dog wagging its tail to its owner. He raised his arm ready to drop the tip of the whip. LiJia-Li was smiling internally, but on the outside, she maintained a serious pose.

Until a scream haunted the place. All the heads that were facing Xiao Niao waiting for the whip to descend on her white skin turned to the strong voice that came from the entrance gate. The platinum hair appeared at the top of the stairs and the mild early spring sun blew on his figure giving an angelic image. All the women sighed with pleasure; even Jia-Li could not contain her emotion and released the sparkles that she kept in her eyes. Yan Feng just focused on Xiao Niao at the center of all that confusion and quickly pierced the small crowd approaching her. The young woman was scared, it was clear, so an uncontrolled fury rose in his blood and he faced the guards and Boseph who held the whip with authority and remained with the mocking smile on his face.

- Can someone explain to me how Miss Xiao Niao ended up here? - Yan Feng looked at Jia-Li and she flinched at the threatening look.

This time she was not going to escape!
