My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo immediately sprang into action and dashed into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Xiao Sizi was clinging tightly to Li Lizhi's leg, sobbing softly.

"No... Sister, don't do it... If you do it, Grandfather will really die!!!"

As he spoke, he kept pulling me this way, clearly indicating he was quite traumatized.

But Li Lizhi's pretty face showed a resolute determination.

"Sister, be good, let go of your elder sister. Grandfather is ill and weak, and needs the care and attention of his family. Although I am not good at cooking, I must do my part to show my love and care..."

"Stop! Your Highness! Spare them...show mercy!"

Chen Mo quickly stepped forward and held her down.

Li Lizhi was stopped and looked at Chen Mo with some confusion, but the stubbornness in her eyes for fulfilling her filial duty to her grandfather had not faded.

"Manager Chen? My grandfather..."

"He's alright now."

Chen Mo softened his tone, his voice becoming earnest.

"Your Highness, your filial piety will surely warm the old man's heart more than any soup. But think about it, what the Emperor Emeritus needs most right now is rest, and his stomach is weak."

"Here we are..."

He glanced discreetly in the direction of the stove.

"What if we make something that doesn't suit the emperor's taste or... well, something that's hard to digest? If the Emperor Emeritus eats it, wouldn't that be counterproductive and make His Majesty and you even more worried?"

Little Sizi secretly opened one eye at this moment, nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and whispered in support.

"Yes, yes! Grandfather, you must be a good boy and listen to the doctor! Sister, let's go see Grandfather and talk to him, okay?"

Chen Mo pressed his advantage, patting his chest and making a guarantee.

"Alright, Your Highness, Little Sizi, leave the cooking to me. I'll make some light and nourishing porridge that's suitable for the patient later, and then we'll go to the hospital to visit the old man together."

Chen Mo looked at Li Lizhi.

"You, on the other hand, will keep the Emperor Emeritus company and keep him company. That's more effective than any medicine! What do you say?"

Li Lizhi hesitated for a moment, then said in a slightly embarrassed voice.

"Then... I'll have to trouble you, Manager Chen. I'm just... anxious."

"I understand, I understand."

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted Xiao Sizi's head reassuringly.

"You two go outside and sit for a while, read a book, or play around. I'll be done soon! I promise the food will be nutritious and delicious; Grandpa will definitely love it!"

Little Sizi cheered and finally let go of her sister's leg. She grabbed Li Lizhi's hand and ran out of the kitchen, afraid that her sister would change her mind.

Li Lizhi, being pulled along by her younger sister, smiled helplessly yet indulgently, then turned and nodded slightly to Chen Mo.

"Then I'll leave it to Manager Chen."

Then he followed the rhinoceros away.

Chen Mo watched her retreating figure and sighed.

If she really did it, Li Yuan probably wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow.

He shook his head, dismissed the thought, tied on his apron, opened the refrigerator, and began carefully selecting ingredients.

Considering Li Yuan's advanced age and recent recovery from a serious illness, he decided to cook a pot of light and soft vegetable and chicken congee, along with a small portion of steamed egg custard.

Soon, the small kitchen was filled with the truly enticing aroma of food.

The aroma wafted into the hall, and Xiao Sizi couldn't help but sniff, her eyes sparkling.

"It smells so good! Manager Chen is amazing!"

Li Lizhi also smelled it, her face flushed slightly, but she felt much more at ease.

This seems better...

After Chen Mo carefully packed the warm porridge and steamed egg into an insulated food container, the three of them set off again for the hospital.

Upon arriving outside the ward, Chen Mo first looked through the glass.

Li Yuan seemed to be awake, leaning against the raised hospital bed, staring blankly out the window. His profile looked particularly old and lonely under the fluorescent light.

Chen Mo knocked gently on the door, then pushed it open.

"Grandpa, are you hungry? I've prepared some things and brought some food."

He greeted him with a smile.

Li Yuan turned his head and saw that it was Chen Mo, but his expression did not change much.

"What are you doing here again?"

But soon, the expression on his face melted away, and he revealed a kind smile.

"grandfather!"

Little Sizi had already run to the bedside, stood on tiptoe, and looked at Li Yuan with her big, dark eyes.

"Are you feeling better? Sizi, Sister, and Manager Chen have come to see you!"

Little Sizi picked up the insulated box in her hands and said in a childish voice.

"Manager Chen has made some delicious porridge! Grandfather, have some!"

Li Lizhi also walked to the bedside, gave a graceful bow, and spoke softly.

"Granddaughter Lizhi greets her grandfather. Is grandfather feeling any better?"

Li Yuan's gaze lingered on his two granddaughters' faces for a moment, and a smile spread across his face.

He nodded slightly, his voice still hoarse, but it was many times gentler than when he spoke to Li Shimin before.

"I...I'm...much better. Thank you all for thinking of me."

After saying that, he glanced at Chen Mo and nodded slightly at him.

Although his attitude was still so-so, it was at least much better than when he came with Li Shimin.

Little Sizi lay on the edge of the bed, its big, dark eyes staring unblinkingly at Li Yuan.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she carefully took out something wrapped in a clean handkerchief from the small cloth bag she carried with her.

She placed the insulated box aside, held it in her two little hands, and presented it to Li Yuan like a treasure, her little face full of expectation and a hint of shyness.

"Grandfather, this is for you!"

"What is this?"

Li Yuan was slightly taken aback.

Xiao Sizi's clear and childlike voice immediately rang out.

"This is something Sizi learned to make from Manager Chen... a little rabbit!"

She paused, looking at the lump in the handkerchief that vaguely resembled an ear but looked more like a round dough ball, and added, rubbing her hands a little embarrassedly.

"...Well, it's just that it looks a bit like a little chubby pig..."

"But, but Sizi put a lot of effort into it!"

"Manager Chen said that seeing cute things makes sick people feel better!"
