She became a top rich woman by giving tribute to her emperor boyfriend

"Ahem, it's... Doctor Ben."

A voice of regret came from the jade pendant.

Jiayu was ecstatic:

"Doctor, you are finally willing to show up. Please tell me why you want to do this?"

Before Jiayu spoke, he pinched himself hard to make sure he was not dreaming, and then he anxiously asked the question he wanted to ask most.

Yes, what she wanted to know most was why Dr. Regret had brought her and her family to different time and space.

However, after she spoke, no regrets came out.

I don’t know if he is silent or disconnected.

But the jade pendant was still lit.

Jiayu didn't hear Hui speak again and became extremely anxious.

She had finally waited for an opportunity to communicate with Hui, so how could she miss it?

"PhD?"

"Dr. Regret?"

"Are you still there, Dr. Regret?"

Just when Jiayu was feeling lost, Hui was finally willing to speak up.

He spoke slowly and approachably:

"It's a long story."

Jiayu blurted out:

"Then let's make a long story short."

regret:"……"

Perhaps he didn't expect Jiayu to speak in a way that was consistent with his own thoughts, and he was a little caught off guard.

After another moment of silence, Hui spoke again, his tone somewhat awkward:

"It's hard to put it in short."

Jiayu felt that her patience had never been so good, and she was almost going crazy from the other person's mild temper.

She now urgently wants to know everything.

No matter what Dr. Regret's purpose was, she wanted to know the truth.

Only by knowing the truth can she find a way to break free from the control of regret and the time machine.

Jiayu tried his best to suppress his impatience and asked calmly:

"Doctor, don't be in a hurry. Let's talk slowly, one question at a time."

From the tone of Dr. Hui's voice, it sounded like he had a little bit of Alzheimer's disease.

Could it be that Dr. Hui is already a very old man?

For an interstellar person, it would probably take a lifetime to develop a supernatural machine like a time machine.

Jiayu couldn't help but worry.

If Dr. Hui really has Alzheimer's disease and manipulates the time machine incorrectly, wouldn't the lives of those time travelers be in chaos?

Has Dr. Hui also forgotten the reason why she used the time machine to send her parents to another time and space?

Worried that the time machine would shut down, Jiayu asked without waiting for the other party to reply:

"Dr. Hui, I am Jiayu, the daughter of Jia Jinghua. Please tell me why you want to send our two families to another time and space?"

Regret: "I..."

The other party said "I" for a long time but didn't say the next word.

Jiayu was extremely anxious:

"PhD?"

It seems that the other party is really an old man and can't remember things clearly.

I guess I'm still trying hard to recall the answer to this question.

Since she couldn't remember the answer to this question, she changed it to another one. She didn't believe that she couldn't think of the answer to a question.

Jiayu asked again:

"Dr. Hui, you just said that Dr. Si is probably like my parents, from another time and space. Is this true?"

Regretful reply, back to the beginning:

"Probably... should be... right."

Jiayu is anxious:

"What do you mean by probably? Aren't you sure?"

This time, Hui seemed to remember the incident and told the story slowly:

"About twenty years ago, a time machine malfunctioned and swallowed a lot of people before it self-destructed."

"After the machine was destroyed, I couldn't send these people back to where the machine was destroyed, because I didn't know exactly how many people were swallowed by the time machine and who they were."

"The only thing that can be confirmed is the time and space to which these people were sent."

Jiayu was horrified when he heard this:

"So, the time machine broke down in the era I'm in now, and swallowed up a group of people?"

Regret truthfully:

"Yes, the time machine broke down and fell into your era, but that happened more than 20 years ago."

Jiayu asked hurriedly:

"Where did the time machine self-destruct? Where were the people swallowed by the malfunction sent to? Was it to our modern times?"

Hui: "Well, it was sent to the 21st century, which is probably what happened in the year you were born."

"Before the time machine self-destructed, the last information I received was that the group of people had been sent to the 21st century."

"You suspected before that your doctor was the dean's brother. Actually, I can't give you a definite answer because there is no information about your doctor in any time machine."

"There is no information to prove that he is not a specific time traveler, but your suspicion is not unreasonable. It is possible that your doctor was one of the people who was swallowed by the malfunction."

Jiayu caught the key words and felt terrible:

"What did you just say? A specific time traveler? Are you referring to my parents, me, my husband, and his parents?"

Regret admitted: "That's right."

Jiayu was annoyed and asked coldly:

"Why? Why do you want to play with the lives of our two families at will?"

I don’t know if Hui was deliberately not wanting to say it or if he really didn’t remember, so he stuttered again:

"I……"

At this moment, Jiayu had a hunch that the other party was pretending and deliberately didn't want to tell the truth.

But the tone of his reply sounded like that of an old man with dementia.

Jiayu was conflicted. Was this Dr. Hui pretending to be stupid on purpose?

"Doctor, stop pretending and answer me, why are you doing this?"

"You sent my dad to live with my mom, and you sent my parents to a time and space that didn't belong to them, so they couldn't see their relatives for 20 to 30 years."

"Now, you have arranged for their children to live together, but before they have lived together for a few days, you separate them again. What on earth do you want to do?"

"I don't know, I don't remember, my head hurts..."

The more you express regret, the more painful your tone becomes.

Jiayu didn't dare to press the issue any further, fearing that if he pushed the other party too far, he would not be able to remember anything.

"Okay, Dr. Hui, I won't force you. Let's just recall it slowly, okay?"

After giving the other party half a minute to calm down, Jiayu asked calmly:

"Dr. Regret, where are you now?"

Regret said lightly:

"interstellar."

Jiayu was shocked.

My father was right, human civilization has indeed entered the interstellar age.

And the father is an interstellar person.

Jiayu asked again:

"Dr. Regret, how many time machines have you built? Do you remember?"

Regret said in an uncertain tone:

"There are probably more than a hundred, I don't remember the exact number."

Jiayu glared: "..."

Oh my god, more than a hundred units?

If each time traveler has one, wouldn’t that mean hundreds of people have traveled through time?

Jiayu suppressed the shock in his heart and asked:

"So are these time machines currently in use?"

The other party was silent and did not answer.

Jiayu thought that this question probably made the other party try hard to recall the past.

She quickly changed the subject:

"Doctor Hui, why is it that the time you invented can only transport materials at one time, but can also transport living people at another time?"

The other party still didn't reply.

Jiayu continued to ask, she didn't believe that there was no question that the other party couldn't remember the reason:

"Doc, we want to go back to our normal lives, okay?"

"It means that my loved ones will not have to travel around, and they can stay in one time and space for their whole lives."

Although this idea is greedy, it was Dr. Regret who caused all this, and he has the responsibility to arrange for her to be with her family and lover.

If Dr. Hui had not sent her father and Qi Tianlin's mother to other time and space in the beginning, she and Qi Tianlin would not be together now.

If we were not together, we would not experience separation and death.

Therefore, Dr. Hui has the responsibility to give them a fulfilling life.

At this time, Hui finally spoke.

"It's a little difficult."

Jia Yuxin was worried:

"Dr. Regret, what do you mean?"

Regret: "You want to get rid of the time machine and stay in one place. There are ways, but you have to get rid of all the time travelers in the modern world."

"Clear, cleared?"

The other party's words scared Jiayu, and he also thought wrongly:

"You mean to kill all the time travelers who stayed in the modern world?"

Regret explanation:

"I did not mean that."

"What I mean is that we need to find the people who were swallowed by the faulty machine and sent to the present day, and send them all back to the time and space where you are now."

"At present, all the ancient people who have traveled through time have only been sent to the modern times at most. From the modern times to the interstellar space, there are no people who have traveled through time."

"Find all the time travelers from the modern era and send them back to Daqi, then send the time travelers from other ancient times back to their original time and space."

"Like fallen leaves, they return to their roots. The same is true for time travelers. Only when they return to their original time and space will the time machine obey their commands and return to the interstellar space, and will no longer control them."

"Before the last time machine comes back, I will send your family to a place and have it self-destruct. In this way, neither I nor the time machine can control you."

"I also want to remind you that you two families can only choose one place to settle down. After that, you cannot choose any other place."

"The place you choose can be the interstellar space, Daqi, or ancient times, but it cannot be modern times. Because there are no modern people among you."

When Jiayu heard this, he felt absurd and sad.

She is a person with a strong sense of belonging. Although she was born of ancient people and interstellar people, she believes deep down that she is a modern person.

Her feelings towards the modern world are like those of a person missing his hometown while in a foreign country; that feeling is indescribable.

Even though there were some bad things about the era she lived in, it did not stop her from having a deep love for her hometown.

Jiayu felt heartbroken when he thought that he would never be able to access the modern environment again.

But then she thought that if this sacrifice could bring peace and happiness to her family, she would be willing to give it up.

Then, Jiayu asked in confusion:

"Why do we have to send all time travelers back to where they came from in order to get rid of the control of the time machine?"

"You are the creator of the time machine. Aren't you controlling us?"

He said with a regretful tone:

"I was in control at first, but now... not anymore."

Jiayu was puzzled: "Why?"

Regret telling the truth:

"Because the interstellar space is now controlled by intelligent robots, including time machines."

Jiayu stared in shock: "..."

So, will the plot in European and American blockbusters where robots rule the earth actually happen in the future?

Jiayu asked in disbelief:

"Doctor, is the future so scary?"

Hui sighed, "Oh, don't mention it. It's hard to explain. Now that robots control the stars, humans have become inferior creatures."

"Besides, the interstellar environment is very harsh. I'm afraid..."

Jiayu asked: "Why don't you try to control it?"

Regret: "There is a way to control it, but I can only..."

"Ok?"

Seeing that the other party did not continue, Jiayu asked:

"Doc, only what?"

Regret changing the subject:

"First, find all the time travelers in the modern world. I will tell you how to control the robots later."

Jiayu asked: "After finding all the time travelers in modern times, how do we send them back? Through the jade pendants left in modern times?"

Regret: “Yes.”

Jiayu: "But you can no longer control the time machine, right?"

Hui: "At present, I can still control four. After you find the time travelers, I will immediately send them back to their original place."

Four?

What Jiayu thought of:

"The time machines you can still control are not the four in the hands of my parents, my husband and I, right?"

Regret: “Yes.”

"Except for these four, the other time machines are not under my control at the moment."

Jiayu thought of something and asked in surprise:

"Doctor, you just said that the farthest time and space that all time travelers are sent to is the present. Then, did my husband Qi Tianlin's parents not return to the interstellar space back then?"

Regret: "No."

Jiayu couldn't believe it:

"No? Then where did they go?"

Regret: "I have been sent to the modern era, and have always been in the modern era."

"However, when they had the opportunity to return to Daqi some time ago, the time machine was controlled by our interstellar robots and is currently missing."

"How could this be?"

Jiayu thought this matter was outrageous. She originally thought that Qi Tianlin's parents had returned to the future, but it turned out that they had been in the modern era?

Since it has been so many years in modern times, why didn’t her parents know about it?

And now that Qi Tianlin is also in the modern world, wouldn’t the family of three have a chance to meet each other?

But when he thought about how huge the human population would be in the 21st century, Jiayu couldn't help but start to worry again.

How can Qi Tianlin find his parents in such a vast sea of ​​people?

"Do they have a chance to come back to me?"

After saying this, Jiayu felt that he had asked an unnecessary question.

Since Dr. Hui has promised her to fix their two families in one time and space in the end, that of course includes Qi Tianlin's family.

Regret: "If I can find them, of course I can."

"I hope you can find all the time travelers as soon as possible, because I can't guarantee that the four time machines I control will not be discovered by the robots."

"Once they find you, you will stay where you are forever, and you won't be able to go back. You won't have the chance to meet the person you want to see again."

Jiayu was terrified. She tried to speak calmly:

"We will try our best to search for them, but please hold on, Dr. Regret. Don't let the robots discover the remaining time machines."

Regret: "Okay, I'll try my best."

After that, they talked about some things about the interstellar space being ruled by intelligent robots. Jiayu suddenly thought of something that made her scalp tingle instantly.

She hesitated for a long time before she mustered up the courage to ask:

"By the way, Doctor, let me ask you something. Since you are the one who controls my husband and I's time machine, then the things that my husband and I did after we got married...were you on the other side, seeing them all clearly?"
