My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

Li Yuan was stunned; his pupils suddenly contracted, and his eyes locked on the screen.

Hiss!

Chen Mo was also stunned, but luckily he reacted quickly and immediately flipped to the next one.

In the next video, a mature woman wearing black stockings, a tight-fitting mini skirt, and exquisite makeup is dancing the bunny dance.

Li Yuan was stunned again, his eyes wide open.

This...this...this...is an insult to civility!

This is an insult to civility!

These clothes from later generations are really nice, ugh!

This is an insult to civility!

The heart rate monitor next to it was fluctuating much more.

Chen Mo remained silent and quickly moved on to the next one.

Shredded meat...

Next one.

Bare legs...

I rely on!

What does Li Chengqian look at on his phone all day?

We can't just look at this thing, can we?

Chen Mo's vision went black, and he mentally muttered Li Chengqian's name eight hundred times!

What on earth did this poor kid do on his phone while he was recovering from his illness?!

Why are there not even a single normal one left?

This account is ruined!!!

"What is this?! Even the little ox wants to see it!!!"

Sitting on the bed, Xiao Si could only see the back of the phone and had no idea what Li Yuan and Chen Mo were seeing.

But it was precisely because of this that she was curious...

What could have made his grandfather make that face?

It kept crowding upwards, wanting just to catch a glimpse.

Seeing Sizi's state, Li Yuan became anxious, and Chen Mo also became anxious, frantically sliding his fingers upwards.

The scene changes again.

This time things are finally a little normal.

"Alright! Let's try some of Xi'an's delicious food..."

Chen Mo was just about to breathe a sigh of relief...

But he found Li Yuan staring at him with a playful look in his eyes.

"This is... what you meant by knowing everything happening in the world without leaving home?"

Chen Mo: ...

He can't exactly say, "This is what your grandson watches every day, can he?"

Suddenly, he felt a gaze coming from him. When he looked up, he met Li Lizhi's gaze.

That look in his eyes... was very complex.

The usual gentleness and tenderness were gone from her clear eyes, replaced by a clear reproach, mixed with a hint of shame, disapproval, and a silent question, "How could you do this, Manager Chen?"

She pursed her lips slightly, her gaze sweeping between Chen Mo's face and the culprit's phone in his hand, before blushing and turning her face away.

Chen Mo felt extremely uncomfortable under her gaze and immediately defended himself.

"Your Highness, please don't look at me like that! I really don't use these things normally! My phone is completely clean, full of proper stuff..."

"This...this is a Gaoming phone!!!"

Upon hearing this, Li Lizhi was first taken aback, and then her face visibly darkened.

She lightly stomped her foot, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"My brother... really! He's recovering from his illness, how could he... how could he indulge in such frivolous things! When I see Father again, I will definitely... I will definitely talk to him about it!"

Little Sizi, who had been straining to understand the adults' conversation, looked at Chen Mo, who looked "vindicated," then at her older sister, who had a hint of anger on her face, and then curiously looked at the cell phone. Her little head was full of questions.

She finally couldn't hold back any longer, tilted her little face up, and asked in a childish voice.

"Sister, Manager Chen, what are you talking about? I only heard 'cleaning the glass,' and I saw something black... Is it new pastries? Or some strange bug?"

Li Lizhi's face flushed red again, this time from embarrassment.

She quickly covered her sister's mouth, feeling both anxious and embarrassed.

"Sizi! Don't talk nonsense! That...that's not a pastry or a bug! It's...it's..."

She struggled for a long time to find the right words, and finally could only mumble a vague reply.

"It's bad stuff! Children shouldn't look at it or ask about it! Remember that?"

Little Sizi's mouth was covered, and her big eyes blinked. Although she still didn't understand, seeing her older sister so serious and shy, she had no choice but to nod obediently, though the flame of curiosity in her eyes did not diminish at all.

Li Yuan, lying on his sickbed, listened to the entire conversation, his expression changing several times.

He glanced at Li Lizhi, then at Chen Mo, sighed, and shook his head.

Seeing this, Chen Mo hurriedly said.

"Grandpa, besides those... everyday pastimes, one of the main uses of this phone is for collecting and reading books."

"It's like a mobile, all-encompassing library. You can find almost anything you can think of, including classics, history, philosophy, poetry, songs, agriculture, industry, miscellaneous studies, medical books, and astrology."

As he spoke, he unlocked his phone, deliberately avoiding the musical note icon, and opened a reading app with a yellow icon.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan indeed reopened his eyes, a genuine interest flashing in them.

"Oh?"

Li Yuan's voice rose slightly, tinged with inquiry.

"What kind of books? Could you possibly find the *Records of the Grand Historian* or the *Book of Han*?"

"Of course!"

Chen Mo was full of confidence.

But the next second.

"I, Li Chengqian, started with the Xuanwu Gate Incident!"

"I love you, Father Emperor, see you at Xuanwu Gate!"

I, Li Chengqian, the First Emperor of All Time

Transmigrating into Li Chengqian, holding Li Tairen's head in the palace.

Li Chengqian: Please address the retired emperor as Your Majesty!

……

Only at the very end does it follow a copy of the *New Book of Tang*.

Li Yuan: ……

Chen Mo: ...

Chen Mo's fingers froze above the search bar, his whole body seemingly frozen in place.

Li Chengqian! I'll f*** your mother!!!

You fucking ruined me!!!

He looked at Li Yuan, his face showing a look of wanting to cry but having no tears.

Just then, Li Yuan was also looking at him, his eyes filled with increasing amusement.

"Is this what you meant by having all kinds of books?"

After saying this, he paused for a moment.

"No, what you said is true, they really do have all kinds of books!"

Chen Mo looked at Li Yuan, who didn't seem to have much of a reaction, and was somewhat puzzled.

"Grandpa, are you feeling alright?"

"I'm already halfway to the grave, with the yellow earth reaching my neck. I've witnessed fathers and sons turning against each other, brothers killing each other, I've sat on the supreme dragon throne, and I've endured the cold and lonely years in the deep palace. Now, my life hangs by a thread, lying in this strange place where I don't know when or how long it will last..."

Li Yuan looked out the window.

"Those nonsensical tales and anecdotes fabricated by later generations are no different to me from the sound of the wind outside the window."

"Whether you read it, laugh, or find it absurd, that's fine. Why should you waste your energy and ruin your own health over it?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Sizi, who had been listening quietly in his arms, objected.

"No, no! Grandfather won't be going into a coffin!!!"

She retorted loudly, as if raising her voice could drive away those unlucky words.

"Grandpa, you must be a good boy and listen to the doctor. Take your medicine, sleep well, and you'll get better soon!"

"Once everything's settled, we'll fly kites together, play hide-and-seek, and watch the rabbits! Grandpa promised Sizi!"

Li Yuan was taken aback by his granddaughter's sudden "lesson." Looking at her puffed-up yet concerned little face and listening to her childish yet incredibly earnest plan, a corner of the indifferent icy shell in his eyes seemed to quietly melt away.

He was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, the usual sternness and gloom on his face completely vanished, replaced by a warm smile.

Although the smile was somewhat weak due to illness, it reached deep into the eyes.

He reached out his hand, the one without the IV drip, and gently grasped Xiao Sizi's small hand that was trying to "cover her mouth," enveloping it in his large but withered palm. His voice unconsciously became soft and gentle.

"Alright, alright... Grandfather misspoke."

He responded repeatedly, his eyes filled with a rare and pure compassion.

"Grandfather, don't talk nonsense. Grandfather, focus on getting better. Once you're better, you'll definitely play kite flying, hide-and-seek, and watch rabbits with us Sizi... Whatever you want to play, Grandfather will play with you, okay?"

"Okay! Pinky promise!"

Little Sizi immediately stopped crying and started laughing, sticking out her chubby little finger.

Li Yuan also extended his hand.

The two made a pinky promise.

Li Yuan looked at the rhinoceros, as if he had some feelings about it.

"I might have cared about it before, but after this brush with death, I've realized... instead of worrying about those things, it's better to enjoy the present..."

Li Yuan reached out and gently stroked the head of the ox.

Little Sizi, like a kitten being stroked, comfortably squinted her eyes, unconsciously rubbing her little head against her grandfather's palm, making a satisfied murmur.

"With such a lovely granddaughter, if I were still fixated on those things, I would be out of my mind."

Li Yuan said self-deprecatingly.

"What about Old Li...?"

"Shut up! Don't mention that beast!!! If I weren't about to die, he wouldn't have brought me to this place!!!"

Li Yuan still harbors resentment when Li Shimin is mentioned.

Chen Mo fell silent.

Li Yuan turned his gaze to him.

"Manager Chen... now that we're here, I... would also like to see what's in the future? How about we go out for a walk together when I'm feeling better?"

Li Yuan looked at Li Lizhi and Sizi.

"Bring Sizi and Lizhi along."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo was overjoyed.

"Okay! When you're feeling better and have more energy, I'll take you to a nearby park with a nice environment. You can see the green trees, red flowers, lakes, and mountains here. Although it can't compare to the grandeur of the royal gardens, it has its own unique fresh and natural charm."

"Or, you could just sit in the rooftop garden of this hospital, soak up the sun, and watch the clouds; that would be nice too."

As Li Yuan listened, a hint of longing flashed in his eyes.

"...Alright. There's no rush."

"That's enough for today. You must be tired, go back and rest early."

Chen Mo and Li Lizhi both breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Li Yuan didn't have much aversion to them.

They quietly took their leave.

The ward door closed gently.

Li Yuan sat alone on the hospital bed, looking out the window at the unfamiliar yet dazzling lights.

He remained silent.

After a long while, he let out a long sigh, and at the same time gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"I'm really getting old!"
