Who understands? The aloof female ruler always flirts without even realizing it.

"On my side, I have recently used some of the influence of the parliament to conduct a series of business reviews and resource restrictions on the family behind Dei."

He made a downward pressing gesture in the air with his right hand, with undeniable force.

"The effort is considerable; they are currently in a state of utter chaos."

"They not only have to deal with the enormous pressure and questioning from within the family due to the loss of interests, but also have to secretly plot those shady schemes."

A cold smile curled at the corner of Toses's lips.

"Dei is currently facing difficulties both domestically and internationally, and is probably having a hard time sleeping and eating."

To completely put Kalandall at ease, Torses revealed more of his trump cards:

"A few months ago, when you and Yan Yan decided to participate in the competition for the throne, the Xiong Zhu and I had already begun to secretly select a medical team."

"The background, social relationships, and even all past travel records of the final selected obstetrician and nurse assistant were thoroughly and repeatedly verified."

His gaze sharpened, like a drawn sword, pointing straight to the core:

"According to the intelligence I have, the emperor probably won't be able to hold out for much longer."

"Dei..."

He snorted coldly, his tone filled with undisguised contempt.

"In the end, she was just a fool whose eyes were blinded by palace intrigue and narrow-minded jealousy, and the son she raised was also a good-for-nothing."

"For decades, all they've been thinking about is the narrow-minded palace intrigue of vying for favor, consolidating their power, and eliminating rivals. Their vision is pitifully limited."

Just then, the noise from the kitchen suddenly increased, accompanied by an even richer aroma of food wafting over.

Shen Yan carefully walked out carrying a steaming soup bowl.

His handsome face still had some sauce that he had accidentally smeared on while tasting the food, but he didn't care at all. His dark eyes sparkled like they were filled with stars as he called out loudly:

"Wife! Father! Dinner's ready! Quick, wash your hands and sit down!"

Shen Jiyun followed behind him, her posture still calm and elegant, slowly wiping non-existent water stains from her fingertips with a snow-white handkerchief.

Watching her little one rush to the female ruler's side without waiting, bending down and almost half-hugging and half-carrying him to help him up from the sofa, she was very attentive.

Although the sticky feeling made his teeth ache a little, a satisfied and gratified smile spread across his eyes.

He strolled over to Toses, nudged his mistress lightly with his elbow, and whispered, with a hint of mockery and pride, "..."

"See that? This silly boy may not be good at anything else, but he's a natural at spoiling his wife, a true master of his father's teachings."

Tosses gave him a look that said, "Do you need to tell me?"

His eyes held a tacit understanding and indulgence that had lasted for years, while the corners of his lips curved upwards in a barely perceptible arc.

He didn't say anything more and steadily walked towards the dining table that 001 had arranged warmly and comfortably, which was now exuding an enticing aroma.

"Slow down, Lanlan, watch your step."

Shen Yan focused all his attention on Kalander, supporting him while nagging incessantly.

His eyes were fixed on the female ruler's every step, as if his wife was not walking on a flat floor, but on a treacherous path full of thorns.

Karandal was somewhat exasperated by his overly tense demeanor, but his heart felt as if it were being soaked in a warm spring.

He gently patted the back of Shen Yan's hand, which was tightly gripping his arm, and whispered:

"My lord, I am not that fragile."

"That won't do either!"

Shen Yan immediately retorted, her tone resolute: "Right now, you're the most precious person in our family, and we can't afford to have any mishaps with you!"

As he spoke, he took a moment to turn around and give a slightly smug look to his two fathers following behind, especially Shen Jiyun.

Upon receiving his son's childish boasting, Shen Jiyun shook his head and chuckled helplessly, then whispered to the female ruler beside him:

"Look at the way his tail hook is pointing skyward."

Although Tosses did not respond verbally, he let out a soft hum from his nose, which was considered a form of acknowledgment.

Once the four insects were seated at the dining table, Shen Yan immediately began his usual feeding spree.

He first carefully ladled out a bowl of fragrant, milky-white fish soup, gently blew on it to make sure the temperature was just right, and then placed it in front of Kalandel:

"Have a bowl of soup to warm your stomach first. I watched the fish being prepared, and it has no fishy smell at all. I added some medicinal herbs that are good for you and the baby. I asked the doctor, and it's okay to drink it."

Then, with deft movements, she began peeling shrimp, her slender fingers skillfully removing the shells, dipping the plump shrimp meat in the sauce, and placing it naturally into Carlandel's dish.

"These shrimp are fresh and high in protein, eat more of them."

Then came boneless chicken, deboned fish, and tender green bok choy...

Before long, a small mountain had piled up in the female insect's bowl.

Kalandall looked at the food that had suddenly piled up in front of him, feeling both happy and amused:

"My lord, that's enough, it's too much, I can't finish it."

"I'll eat what I can't finish!"

The boy immediately chimed in, looking at him with bright, sparkling eyes:

"You're eating with one mouth and being absorbed by two worms, so you have to eat more! Look at you, you haven't gained any weight on your body except for your belly."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently squeezed Karandal's arm, his brows furrowing slightly, as if he were quite dissatisfied with it.

Shen Jiyun elegantly picked up a piece of stir-fried vegetables with her chopsticks, watching the little one bustling around, as if he wanted to feed Kalandel himself, and spoke in a drawn-out tone:

"Yan Yan, I know you care about Lan Lan, but aren't you being a little too attentive?"

"Lanlan is just pregnant, she's not unable to take care of herself."

Torses ate his meal quietly, then looked up at his powerful lord upon hearing this.

Shen Jiyun received a look from the female ruler, and was startled. He immediately cleared his throat:

"Of course, being good to your partner is something you should do and deserves praise!"

"Oh? Really? When I was pregnant with Yan Yan, you weren't this... attentive, and sometimes I even had to coax you."

"According to this logic, should I complain?"

The moment this question was raised, cold sweat broke out on Shen Jiyun's back.
