Xiao Jingzheng also staggered down from his seat, looking at Qin Yan in disbelief, his knees subconsciously going weak: "Father? You...you're back?"

"Yes, I'm back, good boy, you've worked hard." Qin Yan stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Xiao Jingzheng's head.

Although he still looked the same as before, his movements and expressions seemed like a different person, especially when he was caressing Xiao Jingzheng, his eyes were full of heartache and love.

Just with this look, Xiao Jingzheng could be sure that it was his father who had returned. When he was a child, he once fell off a horse and was injured, and his father had the same expression and looked so distressed.

He subconsciously grabbed Qin Yan's wrist, his voice choked with sobs: "Father, I miss you so much, I miss you so much!"

Before he finished his words, there was a sudden flash of cold light, and the dagger in Xiao Yun'an's hand stabbed towards Xiao Jingzheng fiercely.

His movements were so fast and sudden that no one could react. However, as a mother, Zhu Yue's eyes were always on her child. She noticed this at the first moment, pulled Xiao Jingzheng over, and blocked the attack with her body!

The dagger pierced her chest and blood gushed out instantly. Xiao Jingzheng could clearly feel the temperature of the blood and he stood there in a daze.

Qin Yan kicked the man to the ground, and then Xiao Huanyu jumped out and brought the Royal Guards to arrest Xiao Linglie and the other two. All the remaining princes and envoys from the Huadao Kingdom who were watching were taken under control.

Xiao Yunlan held a small crossbow and pointed out several key figures. The other young ladies followed closely behind him, and everyone quickly controlled the scene.

"Yue'er! Yue'er! Wake up!"

Qin Yan held Zhu Yue's body in his arms, his whole body was shaking, and there was even a hint of crying in his voice.

"Quickly, send the imperial doctor!"

"Call the imperial physician! No one is allowed to leave. Stay here. Anyone who dares to move will be killed!"

Xiao Jingzheng reacted immediately and pulled Qin Yan towards the side hall.

Soon, all the doctors in the palace came over and surrounded Zhu Yue. No one dared to draw the knife: "The position of the knife is too dangerous. We dare not do it!"

Qin Yan looked at their useless appearance with a burst of disgust, gritted his teeth and said, "Hold it down, I'll do it!"

"Father!"

"Will the Queen Mother be alright?"

Xiao Jingzheng's hands were shaking, he tightly grasped Zhu Yue's arms, and looked at Qin Yan pitifully.

If something really happened to his mother, he would never forgive himself in his life!

"Mother, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I should have suffered this! Mother!"

Xiao Jingzheng's tears fell one by one, but Qin Yan was annoyed and slapped him directly, saying unhappily: "Your mother is on the verge of life and death now, and you just know how to cry! Aren't you ashamed!"

"Yes, I know I was wrong!" Xiao Jingzheng did not complain at all. Instead, he wiped away his tears with all his strength and looked at Qin Yan pitifully.

Although Qin Yan looked calm, in fact, his hands were shaking. He bit his back teeth and said, "I will stop the bleeding as soon as I draw my sword!"

"Yes!"

The imperial physician immediately prepared white cloth and medicine powder to stop the bleeding and just stared at Zhu Yue.

Qin Yan took a deep breath and kissed Zhu Yue on the cheek: "Don't be afraid, Yue'er, I won't let anything happen to you!"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Yan pulled out the knife cleanly and neatly, and blood gushed out again. The faces of both the father and the son were covered with Zhu Yue's blood, which even carried her temperature.

"Mother!"

Xiao Huanyu screamed, knelt on the ground, and tears suddenly fell.

When he saw Zhu Yue like this, he immediately thought of the scene when his mother blocked the arrow for him. He was also very worried at that time.

"Why are you crying? Mother will definitely hold on! Our mother is definitely not a coward!"

Xiao Yunlan also had a crying voice, but she still spoke firmly. She just believed that her mother would not be so cowardly, and she believed that her mother would definitely survive.

The imperial physician knew very well that if Zhu Yue died, they would not be able to survive either. The bleeding was stopped very quickly, and even the hemostatic powder was of the best quality. Several people worked for most of the night and finally saved Zhu Yue's life!

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Madam will be fine. But I'm afraid she will have a hard time tonight, so you need to take good care of her." The imperial physician knelt on the ground, sweating profusely.

At least he managed to save his head.

Xiao Jingzheng felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. He collapsed on the ground, clutching Zhu Yue's hand, and crying like a baby.

"Will the Queen Mother really be alright?"

"Father, Queen Mother will be fine, right?"

Xiao Huanyu knelt on the ground and crawled over, looking as embarrassed as a fool. How could he have the bearing of a great general?

He pulled at Qin Yan's clothes with all his strength, wanting a definite answer.

Seeing his children behaving like this in front of him, Qin Yan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He simply hugged all three children in his arms, his voice gentle and with soothing power.

"Don't worry, mother will be fine."

Xiao Yunlan had never met her father before, and she was not used to suddenly having to communicate about father-daughter relationship with a stranger. She felt awkward in Qin Yan's arms for a while, and finally pushed Qin Yan away silently, leaving Zhu Yue alone.

Looking at Xiao Yunlan like this, Qin Yan roughly knew what she was thinking. Qin Yan must have felt very guilty towards his three children, especially his youngest daughter. He didn't even have time to take a look at her before leaving in such a hurry.

Now that his memory has been restored, he only feels guilty and feels that he has let down his three children.

"Okay, go do whatever you need to do. I'll be here, nothing will happen."

Qin Yan took the towel beside him and wiped the cheeks of his two sons.

"You two, one is the emperor and the other is the general, you should do what you are supposed to do now."

"There are princes from various places and envoys from the Flower Island Country outside. Now is not the time to dawdle here. Go ahead."

Qin Yan's eyes were very calm, but they also held a look of urgency.

Although the two men were very worried about their mother, they did not have the courage to refute their father's words, so they could only bow and leave obediently.

However, these words were nothing to Xiao Yunlan. She just stayed by Zhu Yue's side, not even looking at Qin Yan, and said, "My place is here. What I should do is to accompany my mother and help her get through this difficult time!"

"Well, don't work too hard. You should take care of yourself first." Qin Yan touched his nose awkwardly.

In his previous life, although he was also a father, he had only raised sons and never a daughter, and he didn't know how to get along with his daughters.
