My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

Just as Li Shimin rushed over in a great hurry, in the ward...

Chen Mo checked the time and addressed the crowd.

"It's getting late, I'll go buy some food."

Upon hearing this, Li Lizhi's eyes flickered, and she immediately stood up.

"I'll go with you."

"I want to go too!"

As soon as Xiao Sizi heard that they were going to buy food, she immediately jumped up and clamored to go with them.

Li Lizhi looked at her and said softly.

"Would it be alright for Sizi to stay here and take care of her mother?"

Little Sizi pouted, her face full of reluctance.

Seeing this, Li Lizhi was somewhat embarrassed.

Fortunately, Empress Zhangsun also saw through her thoughts, took the little girl into her arms, and whispered.

"How about Sizi stays here with Mother? Mother just woke up and wants to hold Sizi a little longer."

The little girl looked up and saw her mother's gentle, smiling eyes, and felt that familiar and comforting embrace. She nodded gently.

She nestled obediently in Empress Zhangsun's arms, nuzzled her head against her, and responded softly.

"Okay~ Sizi will stay with Mother! Let me warm Mother up!"

Empress Zhangsun smiled slightly and nodded to Li Lizhi and Chen Mo.

Li Lizhi glanced at her mother gratefully.

She didn't delay any longer and said to Chen Mo.

"Manager Chen, let's go."

Chen Mo nodded to Empress Zhangsun in greeting, and then left the ward with Li Lizhi.

walking on the road,

"Is there anything you want to ask me?"

Chen Mo turned to Li Lizhi, who was standing to the side.

Li Lizhi pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Chen Mo as well.

The two locked eyes.

Li Lizhi's eyes are clear and beautiful, but at this moment they are filled with seriousness and earnestness.

"Manager Chen, could you please tell me... about my elder brother?"

"He really..."

Li Lizhi pursed her lips, but did not say those words.

Chen Mo smiled.

"You know how much Old Li dotes on Li Tai."

Li Lizhi nodded.

"If Gao Ming hadn't been lame, he might have been fine, but unfortunately, he did have a leg injury."

"There has never been a crippled emperor throughout history!"

"Given how much your father dotes on Li Tai, do you think Gao Ming might have some reservations?"

Chen Mo sighed.

"If your father hadn't risen to power through the Xuanwu Gate, things might have been alright, but since he did, you should know what happened to your uncle..."

"Do you think Gao Ming is afraid?"

Li Lizhi fell silent.

Although she could guess what it was, hearing it still made her feel a tightness in her chest.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she hurriedly asked.

"And what about Mother?"

"Didn't Mother stop it?"

Chen Mo fell silent.

Looking at his expression, Li Lizhi immediately felt a sense of unease.

"What's wrong with Mother?"

"Mr. Chen...you said it, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Chen Mo sighed.

"Empress Zhangsun... will pass away in the tenth year of Zhenguan, which is next year."

That short sentence, like a block of ice, instantly shattered all the light in Li Lizhi's eyes.

The color drained from her face at a visible speed, and she staggered.

Fortunately, Chen Mo had anticipated this and caught her in time.

Li Lizhi covered her mouth, her eyes red-rimmed.

"How could this be... Mother..."

Li Lizhi bit her red lips tightly, her face filled with grief.

"Why is she here so early...?"

Seeing her like this, Chen Mo couldn't bear it and patted her to comfort her.

"But don't worry, now that we're here, things definitely won't be the same as in history."

"I refuse to believe that with modern medical technology, Empress Zhangsun won't last a year!"

Upon hearing this, Li Lizhi's face finally showed some expression.

She gave Chen Mo a grateful look.

"I understand, thank you, Manager Chen."

Li Lizhi spoke first.

Then, as if she had thought of something else, she looked at Chen Mo again, her gaze particularly complicated.

"In that case, Father Emperor, since you've asked me and Sizi to have our bodies checked, does that mean...?"

Chen Mo pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Li Lizhi's complexion, which had just begun to recover, suddenly turned pale again.

She didn't care, but Sizi...

Li Lizhi asked with a complicated expression.

"Manager Chen, can you tell me... what happens to me and Sizi later on?"

"Do you really want to know?"

Li Lizhi exhaled a breath of stale air and said with a determined expression.

"Um!"

"..."

Chen Mo sighed.

Historical records state that Princess Changle, Li Lizhi, died in the seventeenth year of the Zhenguan era at the age of twenty-three.

"What about the rhinoceros?"

Li Lizhi hurriedly asked.

"Sizi..."

Chen Mo turned his head away, not even daring to look at Li Lizhi.

"Sizi... Princess Jinyang, Li Mingda, passed away due to illness at the age of... twelve."

"...How could this be!"

Li Lizhi was momentarily stunned, and the color drained from her face in an instant.

"Sizi...Sizi is so young!!! She's so well-behaved...How could this happen..."

Li Lizhi suddenly grabbed Chen Mo, her nails almost digging into his flesh, her face filled with panic.

"Manager Chen, tell me, is there a mistake?"

Li Lizhi looked incredulous, or rather, she simply didn't want to believe it.

"Sizi is just a little weak, she just needs to take good care of herself... How could she be... twelve years old?! Her life hasn't even begun yet!"

Tears instantly filled her eyes and rolled down her cheeks in large drops.

She could accept that she was nearing the end of her life, but she couldn't imagine that her beautiful, delicate younger sister, who would softly call her "elder sister" and save the candy she couldn't bear to eat for her older brother, would die at the tender age of twelve...

Chen Mo patted him gently, trying to comfort him.

"As I said before, that's all history. Now that you're all here, it's impossible for history to repeat itself."

"Even with the support of modern medicine, if history repeats itself, Empress Zhangsun will still pass away next year..."

A fierce glint flashed in Chen Mo's eyes.

"In that case, I'll report it directly!!!"

"I'd like to see if history can withstand the east wind!"

"I refuse to believe that history can't be changed by then!"

"Since history doesn't want me to change the lives of you few, then I'll just change the history of your world!"

"How many divisions are there in history anyway?"

Li Lizhi was stunned when she saw Chen Mo's fierce appearance.

She had never seen Chen Mo with such an expression before.

In her memory, Chen Mo always seemed a bit cynical, helpless, gentle, or confident.

Even when recounting those heavy historical events, it is often accompanied by a bystander's sigh.

But at this moment, his eyes held an unprecedented resolve.

Li Lizhi didn't quite understand what reporting meant, let alone how terrifying Dongfeng was.

But looking at Chen Mo's expression, I inexplicably felt a sense of relief.

This feeling...

It's strange...

but……

Li Lizhi took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed deeply to Chen Mo with utmost solemnity.

This time, the ceremony was more solemn than ever before.

"Manager Chen, I'm leaving the matter of Sizi and my mother to you!"

"What do you mean by 'rhinoceros and mother'? Doesn't your business matter?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo immediately corrected him with a serious expression.

"Don't forget about yourself!"

"Here, no one is more important than anyone else, and no one should be ranked second."

Chen Mo's tone was more serious than ever before.

"Empress Zhangsun's life is life, Sizi's life is life, and your life, Li Lizhi's life, is also life!"

"It's good that you want to protect them, that's truly admirable. But protecting them doesn't mean sacrificing yourself, much less that you can neglect your own well-being!"

"If you fall down first, what will you use to protect the people you care about?"

Chen Mo paused, his voice softening slightly.

"If you were gone, Old Li would be heartbroken, Empress Zhangsun would be heartbroken, and the Crown Prince would be heartbroken even more!"

"That might trigger a chain reaction!"

So don't underestimate yourself!

"Do you understand?"

Chen Mo looked at Li Lizhi again, his gaze fixed on her.

Li Lizhi looked into Chen Mo's intense gaze and for a moment dared not meet his eyes.

At the same time, an indescribable warm current mixed with bittersweetness surged into her heart, making her nose tingle and her eyes moisten again.

She blinked hard, forcing back the tears, and met Chen Mo's gaze, finally no longer displaying the solemnity that carried a sense of sacrifice.

"I see!"

"Good that you understand!"

Chen Mo smiled slightly.

"Alright, it's time to go buy food, otherwise Xiao Si's stomach will rumble again."

Li Lizhi nodded, a barely perceptible smile curving her lips.

She followed, crossing her arms behind her back.

"What should we buy?"

"purchase……"

Before Chen Mo could finish speaking, his phone started beeping.

Chen Mo picked up his phone.

"Hey! Old Li's back!"
