My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

Finally, after a long and arduous journey, Chen Mo led everyone to the hospital.

As soon as Li Shimin got out of the carriage, he immediately pulled Empress Zhangsun towards Li Chengqian's sickroom.

As soon as the door opened, Li Chengqian was startled. He looked at something and almost dropped his phone.

He quickly turned off his phone and hid it under the covers, looking exactly like someone who had been caught peeping at a little... well, being caught by his parents after stealing a phone.

"Chengqian... what are you looking at?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian's appearance, raised an eyebrow, and said seriously.

"N-nothing..."

Li Chengqian's eyes darted away, and he quickly changed the subject.

"Father, what brings you here?"

"Do you mean I can't come?"

Li Shimin countered with a question.

"no……"

Seeing Li Shimin's expression, Li Chengqian was at a loss for words.

Fortunately, Empress Zhangsun also came over, tugged at Li Shimin's sleeve, and then went into the ward.

"Mother...you've come too!"

Li Chengqian's eyes lit up with joy as he looked at Empress Zhangsun who had rushed over.

Empress Zhangsun gently stroked Li Chengqian's leg, which was in a cast, a look of heartache flashing across her face.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Li Chengqian shook his head, a hint of self-reproach on his face.

"In contrast, it was my mother who was worried and made a special trip to see me."

"Where! As a mother, I came to see what's wrong with my son?"

Empress Zhangsun said softly.

"How are you doing here? Are you comfortable? Is there anything you're not used to? If so, tell your mother."

"No, I'm doing very well here, and Brother Chen is taking good care of me."

"Is it boring here?"

"It's not boring, there are cell phones here."

"cell phone?"

Empress Zhangsun was somewhat puzzled.

Li Chengqian hurriedly took out the phone he had just put down.

"This is it."

"This can be used to read books. I've used it to read many books and learn a lot of knowledge in my spare time."

"Oh~!"

Li Shimin, who was standing to the side, responded with an "oh".

"Then your father would like to see exactly which books you have read."

Li Chengqian nodded, opened his phone, and his expression changed the next second.

Oops!

I forgot to log out!

A burst of cheerful music began to play.

A tall, mature woman dressed in a JK uniform appeared on the phone screen, dancing back and forth with exceptionally alluring movements.

Li Shimin: ? ? ?

Empress Zhangsun: ? ? ?

Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun looked at the phone.

Both of them were stunned.

Empress Zhangsun, in particular, was completely stunned.

So this is the book Chengqian was talking about?

Is this all the knowledge he has learned?

"Is this the book you're reading?"

Li Shimin walked to Li Chengqian's side, looked at him with a playful expression.

At the same time, he glanced at his phone twice.

What are they wearing?

Immoral and indecent!

What kind of behavior is this!

Li Shimin thought to himself, glanced at it twice, then a third time, and then his eyes remained fixed on it.

He only coughed lightly and spoke seriously after Empress Zhangsun turned around.

"As the crown prince, you should learn self-discipline, not indulge in this kind of thing! Do you understand?"

Li Chengqian nodded, then hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Actually, I don't usually look at this; I spend most of my time reading books."

"Reading?"

Li Shimin became interested.

"Can you even read books on this?"

"That's right."

Li Chengqian exited Douyin and opened the Xihuangshi novel.

"There are all sorts of books and novels here, quite a lot of them. I often read them..."

Li Shimin looked at his phone screen.

The next second, a book popped up on the phone screen.

"I, Li Chengqian, started out in a father-son online duel at Xuanwu Gate"

Li Shimin: ? ? ?

Li Chengqian: ? ? ?

Li Chengqian's face turned pale.

"Father! I don't usually watch this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly swiped up to refresh the page.

next second.

Love you, Dad, see you at Xuanwu Gate

"I, Li Chengqian, request that the Retired Emperor be addressed as Your Majesty!"

I, Li Chengqian, am a great emperor for all time!

……

Li Shimin: ...

Li Chengqian: ? ? ? ? ?

"No! I really don't watch this!"

Li Chengqian was dumbfounded, his face blank.

"Who put this book in my bookstore?"

Then, he looked at Li Shimin.

"Father! You must believe your son!"

"Your subject... Your subject truly doesn't know! This wasn't something I sought out! It... It jumped out on its own!"

"..."

Li Shimin fell silent and gave Li Chengqian a deep look.

"You've been reading quite a lot!"

"How about we try our luck at Xuanwu Gate once your leg is healed?"

"When the time comes, you prepare your troops, and I will prepare mine."

"If you lose, you call me 'Father,' and if I lose, I call you 'Your Majesty'?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian's face turned pale.

He put down his phone and wanted to kneel down on the spot, but his leg, which was in a cast, was completely immobile.

"Father, please let me explain!"

"...Biao'er! You'd better take a good look later, otherwise we..."

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang's loud voice came from outside the door, but it quickly stopped.

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped at the doorway, looked at the scene inside, and gave an awkward smile.

"You guys carry on! Don't worry about us!"

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the door shut.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Mo asked from behind him.

Zhu Yuanzhang made a shushing gesture and whispered into the room through the glass in the door.

"The atmosphere at Old Li's house doesn't seem right. Let's not go in yet; it'll make things awkward for them."

Liu Che raised an eyebrow, recalling the gossip about Li Shimin, and suddenly became interested, so he also peered through the glass of the door.

Chen Mo and Zhu Biao looked at the two men, exchanged a glance, and smiled helplessly.

Meanwhile, inside the house,

Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Chengqian, whose face was pale, and then glanced at Li Shimin, whose thoughts were unknown.

Li Shimin came over just now, and she gave him her seat, so she didn't see the contents of Li Chengqian's phone.

However, after hearing Li Shimin's words and seeing Li Chengqian's current appearance, she could vaguely guess what was going on and said seriously.

"Your Majesty... although I don't know what you just saw, Chengqian would never do such a thing!"

"I believe in my son!"

"If you intend to punish Chengqian..."

Empress Zhangsun slowly stood up, and then knelt directly on the ground.

"Then please punish me as well!"

"If Chengqian, as the Crown Prince, ultimately does such a thing, then it is due to my inadequate supervision!"

"I bear the majority of the responsibility!"

"Your Majesty, please do not punish Chengqian! Chengqian is innocent!"

"Mother!"

Li Chengqian's eyes welled up with tears as he watched this scene.

He dragged his hard, plaster-coated leg, also wanting to kneel down before Li Shimin.

"If Father wants to punish someone, then punish me!"

"It has absolutely nothing to do with my mother!"

"...

Li Shimin looked at the mother and son and sighed heavily.

"Since you've all said that, what can I do?"

After saying this, Li Shimin quickly helped Empress Zhangsun up, glanced at Li Chengqian, and sighed.

"I was going to keep it from you, but I didn't expect you to find out anyway."

Li Shimin was somewhat moved.

"But since I brought you here, I should have expected that you would find out sooner or later."

Li Chengqian was stunned.

"Father, you're not going to pursue the matter?"

"Investigate? Investigate what?"

"Are you going to investigate whether you've seen anything indecent?"

"Or should I punish you by making you secretly read some novels written by others?"

"But those novels are all..."

"Chengqian, I'm not that petty!"

"You haven't done anything wrong! I can't possibly use someone else's writing to punish you!"

Li Shimin paused.

"Besides, this isn't the Tang Dynasty, and I'm not the emperor now. How can I punish you?"

"..."

Li Chengqian remained silent for a long time, and then he understood what Li Shimin meant.

Finally, he knelt deeply before Li Shimin.

"Father! Your son will certainly not fail your trust!"

Li Shimin smiled slightly.

"Don't be in such a hurry! I'm still waiting for you to really have a showdown with me at Xuanwu Gate!"

"If you actually win, then I'll have to address you as Your Majesty!"

"You agree, right, Your Highness?"
