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

Chapter 1287 Arrival at the Back Mountain of Xuanming Temple

Upon hearing Su Yueyao's question, Cheng Yan's tone was somewhat shocked: "My lady... the road to the north is difficult to travel by carriage, and riding a horse is too bumpy. It's also dark, my lady..." Cheng Yan stopped mid-sentence, looked at her worried wife, and gritted her teeth to say: "My lady, who will go? We'll take turns carrying you, that way it'll be faster."

"Ayao, let His Highness, Yan Xi, Yi Bai, Zi Xu, and Ming He go with you," Yang Qianxun said.

"My lord, I will go and inform them. I know the fastest and easiest route."

"Okay, then go and make the arrangements. In half an hour, Ayao will see your aunt and uncle off at the main gate. After they leave, you can leave directly through the back gate."

"Yes, my lord. I'll go make the arrangements now. I'll see you at the back door later."

Su Yueyao nodded.

Half an hour later, Huan's mother and the others also learned that something had happened at the manor. Without asking any questions, they exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Su Yueyao and left one by one.

After everyone left, the main gate of the Su residence was closed, and Yang Qianxun and Su Yueyao quickly walked towards the back door.

"Ayao, don't worry, I've already asked Gongyang to give you leave. We'll handle the Li family's affairs."

"Qianqian, thank you for your hard work. I'll come back as soon as Fengqi is out of danger."

And so, Cheng Yan carried Su Yueyao northward, with the First Prince and the others following closely behind.

After the people had completely disappeared, Yang Qianxun found them still standing motionless.

“My lord, let’s go back. There are quite a few people we’ve arranged to follow us in the shadows. Yiyang and Nanfeng have also been notified, and they will be there as soon as possible,” Pu An said.

"I always feel uneasy and a bit panicked inside," Yang Qianxun said with a sigh, then turned and went into the mansion.

“My lord, I’m also a little flustered. It’s so late, my wife shouldn’t be going.” Lu Yuanyi sighed and said.

“Who among us can persuade the mistress of the house to stay in line with her temperament?” Baili Jihua said.

"We've been planning this for so long regarding the Li family's eldest branch of the family; let's take them all down this time and get moving!"

"My lord, when Chengyan returned, she told me that Yunsheng had already ordered the Duanhong Alliance to take action. They will fully cooperate with us. Their intention is that, apart from the second branch of the Li family, the fourth and fifth branches of the collateral branches should not be spared."

“They will also deal with the emperor and empress in the palace,” Gongyang Ruoyu said.

“Alright, let’s get started!” Yang Qianxun said without any hesitation.

"it is good!"

Immediately, everyone went off to make their own arrangements. When their maternal clans came, they had all sent letters. They had already cut off some of the connections the Li family's eldest branch had in the imperial court. Now, what they needed to do was to cut off the manpower of the local government offices.

Business at the shop is much easier now. With the combined efforts of these families and Yuqi's strategic planning, and with the Duanhong Alliance making its move, dismantling them in two or three days is more than enough.

As for Su Yueyao, Cheng Yan led the way, and the group took turns carrying her, shortening the journey by a little over half. They arrived at the foot of Xuanming Temple in just one hour.

Sun Yibai gently put Su Yueyao down.

“My lady, we’ve reached the foot of the mountain. Please stretch your legs a bit before we head up.”

Cheng Yan and the Crown Prince secretly observed their surroundings, fearing that someone might be lying in ambush under the cover of darkness.

Lin Zixu and Xu Minghe silently guarded Su Yueyao from both sides.

Su Yueyao stretched her arms and legs, feeling less stiff, and said, "Let's go straight to the cliff."

“The path to Xuanming Temple is easier for you, but we need to cross it. The place where Young Master Qi fell off the cliff is on the back mountain of Xuanming Temple. You will need to come down and walk there yourself,” Cheng Yan said.

“Okay, I can do it.” Su Yueyao nodded.

Sun Yibai hugged Su Yueyao again and followed them toward the back mountain of Xuanming Temple.

Through the moonlight, Su Yueyao could vaguely see the steps laid on the mountain. After they went around them, they found that the path was getting narrower and narrower. Sun Yibai protected Su Yueyao and tried his best not to let the branches snag on her, but their speed obviously decreased.

"Yi Bai, put me down. I can walk by myself; it might be faster."

Sun Yibai hesitated for a second, looked at the somewhat winding path, avoided the surrounding branches, and put the person down.

Su Yueyao followed them for about half an hour. As soon as she emerged from the path, she was surrounded.

The eldest prince flew over almost without hesitation to make a move, but Cheng Yan quickly grabbed him.

"Don't fight, we're on the same side."

"Young master, please don't hit them! We're on the same side! We're on the same side! I'm an assassin from the Hou generation of the Duanhong Alliance. The young master has already arranged for more men to join us," said a Hou Yuan dressed in black and holding a torch.

"Houyuan, the Queen is here. Hurry up and lead the way," Chengyan said.

"What? The Queen has arrived? You and the young master's wife?" Hou Yuan, holding a torch, craned her neck to look back curiously.

Su Yueyao was tightly held in Sun Yibai's arms, with Lin Zixu blocking her way in front. Hearing such a clear and curious voice, she turned her head.

Upon hearing Hou Yuan's curious voice, Cheng Yan slapped him on the back: "Lead the way quickly! The Queen is worried about the young master at the bottom of the cliff. We've been rushing here. Has the young master thought of a way to rescue him?"

Hou Yuan immediately became obedient after being patted by Cheng Yan, and bowed in Su Yueyao's direction: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, please follow me. The young master has already decided how to save people."

"Are the people at the bottom of the cliff out of danger?"

"There is no danger. With Envoy Cheng Rong here, I guarantee the young master below the cliff will be perfectly safe."

Hearing what he said, Su Yueyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon arriving at their destination, Xingchen, who had been talking to Yunsheng, frowned upon seeing Chengyan and the First Prince walking ahead and quickly approached, saying, "Chengyan, why are you here? Who's protecting you in the manor...?"

But when he saw Lin Zixu, Sun Yibai, Su Yueyao next to him, and Xu Minghe at the very back, a fire suddenly shot through his head.

Cheng Yan and the First Prince, who were closest to each other, took a step back almost without hesitation.

"Nonsense, my wife! It's so unsafe here, and it's so dark! How did you get here?! How could the lord have agreed to this!"

Su Yueyao looked at the angry Xingchen, shrank her shoulders, leaned closer to Sun Yibai, and said in a firm tone, "I'm worried about Feng Qi, how can I not come over? With you here, you're protecting me, I believe you won't let anything happen to me."

Xingchen exhaled upon hearing Su Yueyao's words, then looked sharply at Chengyan: "Chengyan, did you go back and tell the mistress?"

Cheng Yan immediately shook her head: "It wasn't me, it wasn't me. It was when the Lord and Pu An were talking about what you came to tell me that the wife overheard it. It has nothing to do with me."

"When I met my wife, the lord instructed us to bring her here."
