This heartwarming scene did not move Qin Zhenzhen at all; instead, it made her even more jealous. She couldn't help but think of her own family, who only cared about interests and had no regard for family ties. If it were her, they would be lucky if they didn't push her out to take the fall, let alone go to their deaths for her. Therefore, this made her even more jealous of Su Qianrou.

As the saying goes, jealousy drives people crazy. "Su Qianrou, are you very proud that so many people are willing to die for you? But I will not let you have your way. I will make you watch her die helplessly." After saying that, he grabbed Su Qianrou without hesitation and jumped off the cliff.

"Rou'er!" Everyone was caught off guard and rushed over, but could only watch helplessly as she fell.

Mu Jinchen was about to jump down without thinking, but Yingfeng stopped him, saying, "Your Highness, you mustn't."

"Let go, I'm going to save her."

Yingfeng held him tightly, "Your Highness, no, this is not the time to act impulsively. Think of His Majesty, think of Yunyue."

Mu Xinchen also said, "Fifth Brother, there's no point in you jumping down. The best course of action now is to send people down to search. Perhaps Fifth Sister-in-law still has a chance of survival."

At this moment, Mu Jinchen calmed down and said, "Everyone, come with me to find the Princess Consort. We must find her." After saying that, he left quickly, completely ignoring Lin Rong and not even knowing that she had fainted.

Fortunately, Su Jing'an and Su Mingxuan were there, and the two of them were currently surrounding her.

Su Jing'an said, "Xuan'er, quickly take some people to find Rou'er, and leave your mother to me."

Su Mingxuan glanced at Lin Rong, then replied, "Yes," and stood up. "Everyone, follow me," he said, and led his servants away from the place.

At the bottom of the cliff, after an unknown amount of time, Su Qianrou slowly woke up. She didn't react at first, and after a while, she remembered what had happened. She got up and realized that she had been lying on top of Qin Zhenzhen. She realized that she had escaped this ordeal because Qin Zhenzhen had cushioned her fall.

Then, looking around, she found that there were trees all around, so she must be in a forest. She then checked Qin Zhenzhen's breathing and found that she was still breathing, but very weakly. She did not intend to save her. After all, she was not foolish enough to save someone who wanted her life. Besides, she was already struggling to take care of herself and it was questionable whether she could survive. Why would she want to bring another burden on her?

As darkness was approaching, Su Qianrou did not delay any longer and immediately went to find a safe place.

She walked for an unknown distance before finally finding a cave. After confirming there was no danger, she stayed there and casually sat down on a rock. If she continued walking, her legs would probably be ruined.

In addition, she did not bring a tinderbox, so she could not start a fire and had to make do with the darkness for the night.

At this moment, she was hungry, tired, and sleepy, but she could only endure it because she had already checked and there was no food nearby. Moreover, it was already dark, and it was not safe to go out. Of course, the cave was not entirely safe either, because she did not know what might come in at night, such as wolves or tigers. Therefore, she not only could not sleep, but also had to be highly vigilant.

Looking at the pitch-black cave, Su Qianrou's mind uncontrollably conjured up images of various animals, such as snakes, scorpions, giant spiders, and insects, which terrified her so much that she instinctively hugged her legs tightly.

As time passed, Su Qianrou grew increasingly sleepy, and her eyes were almost too heavy to keep open.

Just then, she saw two green lights slowly walking towards her. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a wolf and became nervous. She quickly thought of a way to deal with it, then remembered the sleeping potion Qiulan had given her. She didn't know if the potion would work on animals, but she had no choice but to try it. So she secretly took out the potion and put it in her hand, while picking up a wooden stick from the side with her other hand.

A moment later, the wolf pounced on her. Without hesitation, Su Qianrou picked up a wooden stick and struck it. Fortunately, the stick hit the wolf on the head. Unfortunately, this enraged the wolf, causing it to pounce on her even more fiercely.

Su Qianrou had no choice but to take out the sleeping potion and sprinkle it on it, but it seemed to have no effect.

Soon, the wolf pounced on her. Su Qianrou could only fight back desperately, but how could she be a match for the wolf? Just as Su Qianrou thought she was going to die, the wolf suddenly collapsed without warning.

Su Qianrou was stunned for a moment, then realized that the sleeping potion had taken effect. She just didn't know how long it would last. And since it was still dark, she didn't know what kind of danger she would encounter if she went out. Therefore, the best thing to do now was to kill the wolf while it was unconscious.

Fortunately, the stick they used earlier had a pointed end, presumably left behind by someone before them as a precaution. Now, it had come in handy for her.

So she picked up a wooden stick and stabbed it hard into the wolf's body. Afraid it wasn't dead, she struck it a few more times until she had no strength left. Then she collapsed to the ground. At this point, she was exhausted and had no strength left. She wanted to just fall asleep, but she couldn't, because the smell of blood might attract other wild beasts. So she couldn't sleep yet, but she really couldn't hold on any longer.

Just then, she faintly heard someone calling her, "Rou'er, Rou'er," it sounded like Mu Jinchen's voice, but he had never called her that before, so she thought she was hallucinating.

In reality, it was Mu Jinchen calling her. From day to night, for a full four hours, he never gave up searching for her.

Before long, Mu Jinchen found the cave. He first saw the vicious wolf on the ground, and then saw Su Qianrou lying beside him. Seeing her covered in blood and lying motionless on the ground, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly went to her side and helped her up, saying, "Rou'er."

When Su Qianrou saw "Mu Jinchen," she couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality; it all felt unreal.

"It's me."

"You've finally come," she said, and then fainted.

"Rou'er, Rou'er," Mu Jinchen's face was full of worry and tension. He then picked her up and strode out.

Yingfeng instructed, "Quickly inform Young Master Su that the Princess Consort has been found."

"Yes".

Then, Yingfeng quickly followed.

Regent's House

When Su Qianrou woke up, it was already noon the next day. She was still in a daze when she saw the arrangement of the room.

Seeing that she was awake, Mu Jinchen said happily, "Rou'er, you're awake."

"Your Majesty".

"How are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Su Qianrou felt uncomfortable all over, especially her head, so she said, "My head hurts."

Upon hearing this, Mu Jinchen immediately called out, "Qiu Lan, quickly take a look at the Princess."

Qiulan didn't dare to delay and immediately took Su Qianrou's pulse. Then she said, "Your Highness's headache is caused by the shock and excessive tension. She will be fine after a few days of rest. There is nothing to worry about."

Mu Jinchen was relieved.
