Qi Tianlin found this outrageous. How could one govern a country without an emperor?

Without an emperor, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

Have countries in later generations become so complex that they no longer need a monarch to control the world?

The man’s question left Jiayu confused. She felt that there must be some misunderstanding.

She then said, "Master Qi, why would you ask me such a question tonight? Why do you think I'm in the palace?"

He also asked her what happened to the emperor after he was assassinated?

In other words, some misunderstanding must have occurred today, causing Master Qi to believe that she had entered the palace and encountered an assassin trying to assassinate the emperor?

After Qi Tianlin calmed down, he told Jiayu everything that happened in the afternoon:

"Today at 3 pm, the jade pendant lit up, but I didn't hear Miss Jia's response. Instead, I heard a palace servant shouting that there was an assassin and asked the guards to protect the emperor."

"The sound of weapons colliding from Miss Jia's side was very loud."

"There was also a man's voice coming from me. At first I thought it was Miss Jia's brother."

"Miss Jia just said that she didn't enter the palace, so where did the assassin come from?"

On the jade pendant side, after listening to Qi Tianlin's story, Jiayu lowered his head and frowned, analyzing it in his mind.

Today's 3 p.m.?

Isn't that three o'clock in the afternoon?

At around three o'clock, she seemed to be in her father's study, talking to her father?

At that time, the jade pendant was placed in her bag, which was placed in the living room.

She was talking with her father in the study, and her younger brother Jia Jingyu was in the living room.

As she was talking to her father, she heard her mother yelling at her brother at the door of the room, as if criticizing him for turning up the TV too loudly.

This means that at three o'clock in the afternoon, my brother was watching TV in the living room.

The jade pendant was placed on the sofa in the living room.

Could it be that my brother was watching a palace drama at the time and the jade pendant just happened to light up?

Then by coincidence, the TV plot broadcast the scene of the emperor being assassinated, causing Master Qi to mistakenly believe that she was in the palace?

So why did I ask her three questions inexplicably just now?

It’s confirmed, this is the truth!

After the truth came out, Jiayu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

What kind of thing is this? Mr. Qi doesn't know TV dramas, so he will definitely misunderstand when he hears the lines from costume dramas.

This is Daqi.

Qi Tianlin was stunned when he heard Jiayu's laughter.

"Miss Jia, did I say anything wrong?"

Jiayu suppressed his laughter and replied: "Master Qi, it was actually a misunderstanding. The scene you heard was indeed that the emperor was assassinated, but it was not true."

Qi Tianlin was puzzled, "Can the assassination be fake?"

Jiayu explained: "It's like this, I was at home this afternoon and didn't go to the palace. What Mr. Qi heard was just an assassination scene performed by actors."

Afraid that the other party would not understand, Jiayu explained: "The actor Qi Gongzi should know what it means, right? Assassinating the emperor is just a play performed by actors. It is fake."

"In our time, we invented something called television, on which we could watch plays performed by actors."

"My brother was watching TV this afternoon when a costume drama happened to be playing. Coincidentally, you, Mr. Qi, heard it."

"Well, that's probably the truth."

Jiayu couldn't see at this moment that the man here was staring blankly at somewhere, digesting her words.

actor?

Act?

So what he heard at 3 p.m. today was just a troupe of actors performing on the stage?

Isn’t the opera too realistic?

"Miss Jia, although I don't understand, after hearing what Miss Jia said, I think I really misunderstood."

"But Miss Jia just said that you don't have an emperor? Why is that?"

"Without a monarch in charge, wouldn't the country be prone to chaos?"

On the jade pendant side, Jiayu couldn't help but smile when he heard the man's words, and then explained:

"Master Qi, times have changed. In our time, many countries have abolished the hereditary monarchy."

"Abolish?"

There was surprise in Qi Tianlin's voice.

Jiayu nodded calmly: "Yes, it is abolished. If you were the emperor, Master Qi, in our terms, your descendants would no longer be able to inherit your throne, which means there is no royal family."

On Da Qi's side, Qi Tianlin opened his mouth but no sound came out in the end.

He thought to himself that the hereditary system would be abolished in the future. If he were in the era when Miss Jia lived, wouldn't he no longer be a member of the royal family, but... a commoner?

A woman's voice came out from the jade pendant again: "In fact, the palace handed down from ancient times is still intact here, but no royal family lives in it anymore. It is usually used for tourists to visit."

"Then without a monarch, how will the country be governed?" Qi Tianlin asked curiously.

Jiayu: "We have a head of state, and someone is in charge, but there is no hereditary system anymore."

Qi Tianlin frowned, "Head of State? What does the Marshal mean?"

"Uh……"

On the modern side, Jiayu scratched the back of his neck with a headache.

She thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she thought of something, "Mr. Qi, you are from ancient times, and you may not understand it even if I tell you."

"How about this, Master Qi, if you are not busy, I will send you some of our teaching materials and teach you our knowledge, how about that?"

"Master Qi, please study for a while when you have time. After learning our elementary school curriculum, you can basically understand the development of our era."

She has always been worried that she would not have the chance to repay Master Qi for his help. Now, she has the chance.

Teach Master Qi modern knowledge, and even though Master Qi cannot come to her place, he can still experience the prosperity of future generations.

On the Daqi side, Qi Tianlin's face lit up with joy.

Ever since he met Jiayu, Qi Tianlin has been quite curious about future generations, especially after learning today that the hereditary system was abolished in future generations.

If he could learn more about that era through the books that Miss Jia had, he would certainly not refuse.

But due to some concerns, the joy on Qi Tianlin's face faded a lot.

"Will this take up too much of Miss Jia's time?"

Jiayu smiled and said, "It won't delay me at all. If I have time and the jade pendant gives me another chance, I will teach Master Qi, okay?"

"This matter has been happily decided. I will go to the bookstore to buy books for Master Qi tomorrow."

The man replied softly, "Okay, thank you for your help, Miss Jia."

Jiayu felt that she had known Qi Tianlin for several days, and it was a bit awkward to always call him "young lady" or "young master", so she said:

"Master Qi, we are so familiar with each other now, there is no need to be so polite. Let's just call each other by our first names from now on, okay?"

Call a name?

Qi Tianlin was stunned for a moment, then replied in a gentle voice: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Jiayu: "You ancients should go to bed early. It's already eight o'clock. Da Lin, why don't you go to bed early? I'll help you buy books tomorrow."

She called his name...

He is the emperor, who among his subjects dares to call him by his name?

Now...except her, Jiayu.

At this moment, Qi Tianlin looked at the jade pendant and curled his lips unconsciously.

Even he didn't realize how doting this smile was.

"Tian Lin?"

After not hearing the man's response for a long time, Jiayu spoke in confusion.

Qi Tianlin came back to his senses and replied softly: "Okay, Jiayu, you should also go to bed early."

Suddenly remembering that he hadn't answered the last question, Qi Tianlin spoke again:

"By the way, Jiayu, last time you wanted to ask me if I was married, right?"

I didn't hear a response, so I looked down and found that the jade pendant had lost its light.

Qi Tianlin couldn't hold his forehead tightly.

again!

This jade pendant really didn't give him face. Every time this issue was mentioned, the conversation would be interrupted.

*

After losing contact with Qi Tianlin, Jiayu turned off the lights, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Just as I fell asleep, a strong wind blew in from the balcony.

The wind was so strong that it lifted her quilt.

A sudden chill hit Jiayu, and he woke up sharply and opened his eyes.

This wind is wrong.

The Qilin is coming!

Yes, she had ordered Qilin to arrest the people who emptied her Jia family during the day, and almost forgot about this matter.

Jiayu stood up and was about to turn on the light when it suddenly flickered and then lit up by itself.

She didn't think it was a supernatural event.

What she knew was that it was Qilin who turned on the light for her.

The robot she invented can conduct electricity directly to the circuit through the air and trigger the light-on button.

Not only that, the Kirin is also equipped with lights with different wattages, multiple gears, and ever-changing colors.

Looking back, Qilin walked in from the balcony, dragging a bulging snakeskin bag in his hand.

Judging from the shape of the bag, there is a person inside.

Qilin walked to the bedside, lowered his head slightly, and said in a respectful and low voice: "Master, the task has been completed, please take a look."

"The whereabouts of the money this person took away are all listed in the file. The information of his family members is also in the file, and the file has been sent to the owner's mobile phone."

At this point, Qilin mechanically lowered his head, glanced at the snakeskin bag, and said, "This person couldn't bear the long journey at high altitude and had already fainted, but his life is not in danger."

Jiayu hummed, "Throw him into the empty room next to mine and tie him up. You keep an eye on him tonight, and I'll deal with him tomorrow when I wake up."

After Qilin went out with the snakeskin bag, Jiayu went back to bed and continued to sleep.

After a good sleep, the sun rose brightly.

After waking up, Jiayu looked at her phone and saw a text message from the bank. She was not surprised.

It must be that Dayongsheng auctioned off her antiques again last night and transferred the money to her early in the morning.

This time the amount is several hundred million higher than yesterday.

Xie Yao said in WeChat:

"Miss Jia, the antiques you offered yesterday were bought out by foreign royal families last night. The prices they offered were quite impressive and no one competed with them."

Xie Yao sent several messages. Jiayu glanced at them and then exited WeChat. Then she opened the file that Qilin had sent her last night and started to check...

An hour later, Jiayu finished breakfast and prepared to go back upstairs.

At this time, the father came out of the study and said, "Daughter, someone is willing to lend us 20 billion to tide us over this difficult time."

Jia Yu asked in confusion, "Now that our Jia family has reached this stage, who would dare to lend us money?"

At this time, her cell phone rang.

"Dad, my colleague called. Let me take the call first."

It’s Sheng Meng calling.

After saying this to her father, Jiayu answered the call from her best friend, "Hey, Lao Meng, what do you want from me?"

On the phone, Sheng Meng said mysteriously, "Lao Yu, someone asked me for your phone number and wants to date you. Can you guess who this person is? You'll never guess!"

It seemed that she was not interested in who asked her out, so Jiayu replied perfunctorily: "Who?"
