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

Chapter 1295 Is it worth it for me?

Walking at the back, carrying Wenren Qichi's medicine, he said softly, "Your Majesty is alright. Just now, an assassin shot a hidden arrow, and he shielded your wife from it, but he is now seriously injured."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qi paused for a second, then quickly walked over and anxiously asked, "Is Minister Wenren in mortal danger?"

"There is no danger to his life. The arrow has been removed, but his left arm is almost useless."

Feng Qi was stunned again upon hearing this.

“Young Master Qi, let’s go down the mountain first. We’ll leave the assassin matter to the young master and Consort Xing. As for Young Master Wenren’s meridian problems, we can only wait until he’s better before we can determine the cause,” Cheng Yao said.

After hearing Cheng Yao's words, Feng Qi asked, "Sister Yue, she..."

"It was His Highness who put her to sleep. The Queen feels extremely guilty towards Young Master Wenren, and the other young men are also feeling bad. This matter is indeed difficult to handle."

“It is only because Young Master Wenren saved the Lady’s life that she lost an arm. Given the Lady’s nature, how can she ever repay this kindness?” After Cheng Yao finished speaking, Feng Qi did not say another word.

This situation is absolutely terrible. Anyone who could have taken that arrow for Sister Yue would have been better than Minister Wenren. Sister Yue doesn't like to owe anyone anything, and she's the kind of person who will treat you even better if you treat her well.

The descent down the mountain was exceptionally smooth, with Huan Yanxi leading the way and guiding everyone to the courtyard.

"Your Highness, I have already cleaned the main house. I personally arranged to replace all the bedding and other items that have come into contact with the bedding with new ones. There are five or six rooms next door, and Qi's other injured guards are also in the next room."

“The wife’s room can’t be empty. We’ll take turns. There are three empty rooms with changes of clothes. Anyone who needs them can go and get them themselves!” Huan Yanxi said.

"Okay, I understand. Yan Xi has made excellent arrangements." The eldest prince nodded without objection and carried Su Yueyao toward the main house.

After the eldest prince settled Su Yueyao in, he said to the people standing in the room, "Yi Bai and I will stay until dawn. Come over early tomorrow morning."

"If the wife doesn't ask about Wenren Shilang's matter when she wakes up, don't say anything."

"Okay, Your Highness."

The others quietly dispersed, glancing at Su Yueyao, who was sleeping on the bed, their eyes filled with deep worry before they left.

Afterwards, the eldest prince and Sun Yibai sat on the edge of the bed and half-reclined on the soft couch, silently looking at Su Yueyao, both thinking about how to break the deadlock and prevent their wives from suffering so much.

As dawn approached, Su Yueyao suddenly sat up, her face pale and sweating.

The eldest prince, who was sitting by the bed, immediately reached out and put his arm around Su Yueyao, gently wiping the cold sweat from her cheeks.

"My wife is alright, she's safe now."

Sun Yibai, who was half-lying on the soft couch, was now standing by the bed, looking at Su Yueyao with concern.

Almost without hesitation, Su Yueyao asked, "Where is Minister Wenren? How is his injury? I just dreamt that his arm was healed and not ruined."

"My lady, don't get agitated. With the medicine in hand, he should wake up around this time."

"I'm going to check on him." Su Yueyao threw back the covers and was about to get out of bed.

The eldest prince and Sun Yibai sighed as they watched Su Yueyao's actions.

“My lady, don’t worry. He’s in the next room, not far away. You can go whenever you want.”

"Your Highness, Yi Bai, I...I just wanted to go see him. He was so badly injured saving me this time, and it really breaks my heart. I..."

“If my wife wants to go see him, then go. We’ll accompany you,” Sun Yibai interrupted Su Yueyao as he knelt on one knee to put on her shoes.

The eldest prince simply draped a cloak over Su Yueyao's shoulders and then helped her out of the house toward Wenren Qichi's room.

When she arrived at the house, Su Yueyao took a deep breath and went inside.

Wenren Qichi had indeed woken up, and Chengyao was feeding him medicine.

Su Yueyao knocked twice on the door. Hearing the sound of someone coming in, she stepped inside. When she reached the bedside, their eyes met, and neither of them spoke for a moment.

Cheng Yao, seeing the stunned group, broke the awkward atmosphere by saying, "Why don't you sleep a little longer, Lady? Young Master Wenren, with me here, nothing will happen."

“I…I came to see Vice Minister Wenren.”

"Then Your Majesty, please sit here. I'll go to the kitchen to see if the medicinal soup is ready."

"Okay! Thank you for your help."

After the medicine was taken away, Su Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief and sat down by the bed.

The eldest prince and Sun Yibai stood silently to the side, guarding him.

After an unknown period of silence, Wenren Qichi spoke up: "Your Majesty, there's no need to be so conflicted. I saved you back then out of my own instinct, and I never expected anything in return from you, much less to ask you to marry me!"

Upon hearing Wenren Qichi's words, Su Yueyao looked up at him and said almost without hesitation, "Then what are you after? You're awake now, do you know that your left arm will never be able to hold a sword again? Is it worth it for me?"

"Of course it's worth it, especially for the Queen. From the first time I met the Queen, I was initially curious that a commoner woman could write such excellent strategies and draw such beautiful pictures. As I got to know you better, I liked you even more and wanted to marry you."

"These are all just my wishful thinking. Your Majesty doesn't need to feel burdened or expect anything in return. It's a good thing to find someone you like in life." Wenren Qichi said with a slight smile.

Su Yueyao felt a pang of bitterness as she looked at Wenren Qichi's nonchalant demeanor. He had originally had the opportunity to ask her for favors, or to use her status as Feng Qi to do something, but he didn't, and never even considered it for himself.

Such behavior is truly heartbreaking and distressing.

“Minister Wenren, you have saved my life and helped us a great deal. If you were to ask to marry me, I might consider it, but in the end, I think I would agree to your proposal.”

"Aren't you going to seize this opportunity?" Su Yueyao asked him quietly.

“What Ms. Su said is somewhat tempting, but I can’t. A gentleman knows what he can and cannot do. I took the danger for you willingly, so I can’t use that kindness to blackmail you.”

"And...most importantly, I want to do everything I can to make the Queen take a liking to me and willingly marry me."

Su Yueyao's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she looked at him.

At this moment, his face was still pale and bloodless, and he looked extremely haggard, but even so, it could not hide his charisma.
