In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 1288 Did I not send this message back?

Seeing Xingchen's furious expression, Su Yueyao gritted her teeth and walked over to him. She reached out and put her arm around his, her tone carrying a hint of coaxing: "Xingchen, I came here on my own. It has nothing to do with Chengyan. Don't be mean to them."

"I know I shouldn't have come and caused trouble for everyone, but I just couldn't bear to stay in the manor and wait for news. I'm sorry," Su Yueyao apologized directly.

Xingchen sighed, "My lady, there's no need to apologize. I was just in a bad mood. I know your temperament; once you find out, you'll insist on coming over. I thought the lord and the others would stop you, but I didn't expect..."

“We tried to stop him, but we couldn’t,” the eldest prince said.

"It was the lord who instructed us to bring our wives here."

Seeing the Crown Prince's condition, Xingchen was about to get angry when Su Yueyao immediately asked, "How do you and Yunsheng plan to save him? Tell me quickly."

Xingchen glanced at Su Yueyao, gritted her teeth, snorted twice, and remained silent.

At this moment, Tian Yunsheng walked over and put his arm around Su Yueyao's shoulder.

“Lord Xing, my wife came here because she was concerned about Qi’s younger brother. Now the area is guarded by our people, so my wife is safe.”

Xingchen snorted when she heard Tianyun's words and didn't say anything more. She was just recovering and dared to go up the mountain at night. What if something happened along the way?

“Since you’re here, please wait at the cave entrance over there. Little Fourteen and Little Seventeen are resting there. The area around the bottom of this cliff is all precipice, and the path is only halfway up. We can’t find a way through. We plan to send someone down to bring Little Qi up.”

"It's just that Xingwu's injuries are quite serious. Fortunately, Young Master Wenren is at the bottom of the cliff and can help out."

"What? Why is Vice Minister Wenren here?" Su Yueyao asked in surprise.

"He saved Qi first. He saw Qi jump off the cliff the moment he saw him and jumped down after him, using vines to save Qi and his guards. Didn't I send this message back?" Cheng Yan continued.

“Young Master, you didn’t mention Wenren Shilang at all. When I came this afternoon, you only said to send people to find the way, but you didn’t mention him at all,” Cheng Yan said speechlessly.

"I guess I was too hasty. Besides, he's not important. He saved our people. Once he comes up, we can give him some benefits." Tian Yunsheng said casually.

When he saw Cheng Rong's message saying they were safe, he didn't think much of it.

Su Yueyao looked at Tian Yunsheng's expression and her lips twitched slightly. Such a big thing, yet he didn't inform her when he delivered the message.

"Young Master, the ropes are ready. The height is just enough to reach the vines."

"Okay! Let's get ready to go down. People up here, tighten the ropes. Once everyone is secured, wait for my signal before pulling up."

"Yi Bai, Ming He, you two go to the cave entrance over there and guard the mistress. Don't leave her side for even a moment, understand?" Xing Chen instructed.

"Understood, Lord Hoshino."

"Chengyan, Zixu, Your Highness, please come and help too."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing Xingchen's instructions, Su Yueyao immediately reminded them, "Be careful when you go down, and don't get hurt."

Xingchen and Tianyun nodded, and Su Yueyao looked back at them every two steps.

"My lady, you must believe in Xingcejun and the others. Brother Qi will definitely be saved," Sun Yibai said softly.

“Yes! My lady, with Consort Xing here, I think Yun Sheng is very composed in arranging things. And with so many people here, there will definitely be no problem.” Xu Minghe also comforted her from the side.

Su Yueyao looked deeply into the direction of the cliff again, nodded, and walked towards the cave entrance not far away.

There were two guards at the entrance of the cave, who immediately bowed when they saw Su Yueyao.

"Greetings, Your Majesty and the two gentlemen."

"Your Majesty, the cave we found is rather small. We have prepared new bedding for the young masters so they won't be uncomfortable."

"It's alright, keep things simple when you're out. I understand. I'll go in and check. Let me know as soon as the person is rescued."

"Okay lady."

After Su Yueyao finished speaking, she walked into the cave. The cave was indeed very small. There was a brazier at the entrance and two torches at the entrance. She could vaguely see a man in black sitting inside and a child lying on the ground asleep.

She could barely stand up straight, but Sun Yibai and Xu Minghe couldn't; they had to bend slightly to get in smoothly.

Little Fourteen and Little Seventeen were sleeping soundly in the cave, with a man in black sitting guard beside them.

When the man in black saw Su Yueyao and the other two, he tried to get up, but Su Yueyao said softly, "No need to get up, just keep an eye on the child."

"I was transferred here by the young master. Your Majesty, please sit down and rest for a while. The bedding here is all new and has not been used by anyone."

Su Yueyao nodded as she looked at the meter-wide quilt that had been laid out, sat down, and gestured for Sun Yibai and Xu Minghe to sit down as well.

"When did Little Fourteen and Little Seventeen fall asleep? Thank you for watching them," Su Yueyao said softly.

“My lady, it’s not hard work. I’m quite meticulous, which is why the young master arranged for me to take care of the young master. I came from out of town early this morning. The two masters only went to sleep two hours ago.”

After listening, Su Yueyao glanced at the child lying next to her and sighed. It must have been hard for Yunsheng to bring the child here under such circumstances.

Is the bottom of the cliff very deep outside?

"It's alright! There are vines halfway up the mountain so we can help each other. If we were to go down by ourselves, it would be easy, and going up would be fine too. But if we're carrying someone, there aren't any footholds halfway up the mountain, so it's not easy to carry someone."

"The young master originally wanted us to find a way from the opposite mountain peak. Many of our brothers went and searched all the surrounding peaks, but the paths were only halfway there and were quite steep and unsafe."

"That's when we found a lot of ropes and decided to jump down and pull the person up."

After hearing this, Su Yueyao became even more worried. Through the torchlight, she looked at the indistinct scene outside and prayed that they could successfully rescue Feng Qi.

Seeing Su Yueyao's worry, the man in black immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. Since the young master has requested this, he must be absolutely certain. He wouldn't joke about the lives of any of the brothers in the alliance."

"Moreover, the young master's husband is very capable. I'll tell you quietly, the young master is a tyrant. No one in Xiangshan can control him, not even the Alliance Leader. But after that young master came, the young master became incredibly obedient. He does whatever the young master says."

“A few years ago, I worked with the young master. Back then, he was arrogant and self-centered. This morning he was still a bit irritable, but after that young master arrived, his temper immediately became docile.”

Su Yueyao: “…”
