"It would be perfect if it had a little chili!"

"What is a chili pepper? I'll have someone find it for you right away!"

"Thank you for your trouble, but I'm afraid this item cannot be found anywhere in the entire Tang Dynasty!"

"oh?"

Li Shimin always thought that the Tang Dynasty was very large, rich in natural resources, and had everything imaginable.

Therefore, upon hearing Li Jue's words, he immediately felt somewhat unconvinced.

"I don't believe it. The Tang Dynasty is more than ten thousand miles long. Do you think we don't even have chili peppers?"

Li Jue was too lazy to explain to him. After all, explaining the origin of chili peppers would mean explaining that the earth is round and that there is a landmass on the other side of the earth that is far larger than the Tang Dynasty.

"Grandpa, please go home as soon as you finish this meal."

"Although the epidemic in Xianyang has been brought under control, it is hard to say when it will recur. If you get infected, it will be troublesome."

"You will come back with me!"

"I can't go back..."

"If you don't leave, I won't leave either!"

While the two were chatting, Si Zi suddenly squeezed in.

"OK!"

"You serve us cold dishes and leftovers, while you hide here eating hot pot with the Emperor!"

"Auntie, come and have some!"

"snort!"

"Father, you two are so unfair!"

Si Zi sat down angrily, and deliberately nudged Li Jue, pushing him towards Li Er, before happily picking up his chopsticks to eat.

However, just as Sizi was enjoying his meal, Zhang Anan suddenly ran in and told Li Shimin some shocking news.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! An urgent report has arrived from Chang'an, saying that people infected with the plague have been discovered there!"

"What? There's an epidemic in Chang'an too?"
