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

When Qi Tianlin heard Ming Yan mention that the corpses might be pilgrims from Liansheng Temple, he already had a bad feeling.

Now hearing Jiayu also guessed that it was related to Liansheng Temple, he felt even more uneasy.

My mother has been staying in Liansheng Temple for more than ten years. If something unexpected happens...

Thinking of this, Qi Tianlin immediately instructed Qiu Zizhen beside him:

"Old Qiu, you stay here and contact the Ministry of Justice to investigate the murder case here. Ming Yan and I will go to Liansheng Temple."

Qiu Zizhen replied solemnly: "Yes! Master, you must be extra careful when you go to Liansheng Temple this time."

Jiayu's words came back: "Tianlin, leave the car in this village and let Qilin take you there. He will take you to your destination in the blink of an eye."

"Okay." Qi Tianlin replied to Jiayu.

Qiu Zizhen thought it was a reply to him, so he didn't think much about it.

Afterwards, Qi Tianlin left the electric bike at the old lady’s house and took out the key.

When he reached the door, he thought, since Qilin could take him to Liansheng Temple in the blink of an eye, let Mingyan stay to assist Qiu Zizhen.

"Mingyan, you stay here too, and wait for Lao Qiu's orders to thoroughly investigate the murder case here."

"But master..." No one followed, Ming Yan was worried about the master's safety.

He also didn't understand why the master didn't let the secret guards follow him this time. In the past, no matter where the master went, there were dozens of secret guards protecting him in secret.

Qi Tianlin knew what Ming Yan wanted to say, and he said, "I have someone to protect me, don't worry."

Then he fumbled for the controller on his wrist, touched the bulge, and pressed it.

Jiayu told him that as long as he pressed the controller, Qilin would appear in front of him within two quarters of an hour.

After pressing the controller, Qi Tianlin thought he would have to wait for a long time, but suddenly a strong wind blew over.

Ming Yan noticed that the strong wind was unusual and immediately drew his sword.

However, before he could draw his sword, Qilin was already standing in front of his master.

"Dad, Qilin is back." As soon as he appeared, Qilin faced Qi Tianlin with a bright smile.

His tone and smile sounded as if he was really calling his biological father.

Qilin's call of "Dad" stunned Ming Yan and Qiu Zizhen.

what?

father?

The emperor of Daqi has never been married, so how could he have such a big son?

Recognize it?

Or are you happy to be a father?

"Master, he is..." Ming Yan came back to his senses and asked hurriedly.

When he was handing over shifts to the secret guards in the morning, An Mo mentioned to him that a man with a mysterious identity, extraordinary abilities, and extremely strange behavior had appeared in the palace in the past two or three days.

This man appeared in his master's bedroom in strange clothes and attempted to molest him.

However, in the end, the master let this man of unknown origin go.

The man in front of them was dressed in strange clothes. Could he be the man who tried to molest their master last night?

Thinking of this, Ming Yan was shocked and thought, "Could it be that the master has adopted this person of unknown origin as his godson?"

Qi Tianlin thought that since Qilin was invented by his sweetheart, it was like his biological son.

Jiayu is the one he loves, so Jiayu is Qilin’s mother, so doesn’t that mean he is Qilin’s father?

Qi Tianlin felt that there was nothing wrong with Qilin calling him dad, so at this moment, like an elder doting on his younger generation, he responded lovingly:

"Hey, Daddy's such a big son."

Boom~

Qiu Zizhen was shocked and asked, "Your Majesty, when did you have such a big son?"

Seeing that this man is only four or five years older than the emperor, it is impossible that the emperor had an affair outside and had an illegitimate child born to a commoner woman.

So you recognize it?

It's obviously more appropriate for them to be brothers, so how can they be father and son?

Since they had to rush to Liansheng Temple, Qi Tianlin did not explain the existence of Qilin to Qiu Zizhen and Ming Yan.

He said, "Please notify the Ministry of Justice to investigate the murder case here as soon as possible. I will go to Liansheng Temple first. My mother is more important."

At this point, he turned to Qilin and asked, "Do you know how to get to Liansheng Temple?"

Qilin said confidently, "Of course. Today, Qilin has recorded every road and every temple in Daqi in detail in his memory system."

Qi Tianlin was shocked.

Every road? Every temple? Remember them all?

Qi is so big, with so many roads and paths. Even if you give someone a map, it is impossible to remember all the roads in one day. Qilin actually did it? And it took less than one day?

The things invented in this future world are truly invincible.

Qi Tianlin didn't think much about it and said, "Send me to the nearest Liansheng Temple."

He had great martial arts skills and could reach Lianliansheng Temple within half an hour, but he was worried about his mother and wanted to get there quickly.

By the way, experience whether the simulated human Qilin is really that fast.

Qilin nodded, "Got it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Qi Tianlin's arm and disappeared in a flash, leaving behind only a strong wind that blew on the faces of Qiu Zizhen and the others.

Qiu Zizhen looked at the empty space in front of him and looked at Ming Yan in astonishment, "Where is the person?"

Even if he used Qinggong, he would still leave a shadow, right? But just now the emperor disappeared directly, almost without a shadow.

Qiu Zizhen didn't know that while he was speaking, Qilin had already sent Qi Tianlin to the gate of Liansheng Temple.

Not to mention half an hour, for Qilin, it was only a few seconds.

After standing firm, Qi Tianlin had not yet recovered from his shock.

He just felt that he was suddenly suspended in the air, and then his brain went blank for a moment, and then he was standing on the ground again.

He had no idea how he got here.

Qilin then let go of him and said with a smile, "Dad, we're here."

Qi Tianlin looked up and saw that the lanterns hanging on the eaves on both sides of the entrance of Liansheng Temple were lit.

After seeing the three big characters "Liansheng Temple" clearly, he was stunned: "How come we are here so quickly in just a blink of an eye?"

This speed is as fast as lightning.

Qilin smiled and said, "Because there is a super propulsion device in Qilin's body."

Qi Tianlin didn't understand and wanted to ask what the super thruster was, but he thought that even if Qilin explained it, he wouldn't understand it. He decided to wait until he had free time to learn it slowly. The most urgent task now was to find his mother.

He walked up a few steps, picked up the copper circle on the door, and knocked on it.

At this time, Liansheng Temple was very quiet inside and outside.

There was no other sound except the chirping of insects in the grass.

After a while, someone came to open the door.

She is an old nun.

Her name is Hui'an.

Master Huian has been a nun in Liansheng Temple for decades. Every year when the emperor comes to celebrate the empress dowager's birthday, she is responsible for the emperor's food and daily life.

In the past, the emperor would come to the temple the day before the Empress Dowager's birthday, so Master Huian stayed there from daytime to nightfall to welcome the emperor.

They have been guarding since nightfall and finally saw the emperor.

Nun Hui'an was startled at first, then smiled with joy: "Your Majesty, I have finally waited for you to come."

He tilted his head to look behind the emperor and found that there were only two people in the carriage, "Your Majesty..."

Knowing what she wanted to ask, Qi Tianlin said, "I left the palace incognito this time, without anyone else. I encountered a landslide on the way here, so I arrived late."

During the day, Master Huian had learned from other pilgrims that a section of the official road to Jincheng had collapsed.

She nodded in understanding, then opened the door a little, "Your Majesty, please come in quickly, it's getting dark outside and the dew is heavy."

Not long after, Qi Tianlin was arranged to live in a clean room.

Master Huian also sent someone to deliver vegetarian food.

After the meal, the nun asked him to rest early, but Qi Tianlin wanted to know about the corpses in Liaojia Village, so he asked the nun to stay.

After sitting down at the stone table in the yard, Qi Tianlin started asking as if he was chatting:

"Master, how is your temple doing these days? I haven't been here for a year. I just took a look and found that the temple has built a new hall. I guess there must be a lot of pilgrims coming here to burn incense and pray for blessings recently?"

Master Hui'an rhythmically turned the string of wooden Buddhist beads in her hand and replied calmly and emphatically:

"There have indeed been many more pilgrims recently, especially in the past month."

"The newly built temple of our Liansheng Temple was officially opened to pilgrims a month ago, and the number of pilgrims coming to pray is much higher than in previous years."

"About half a month ago, the Jia family, a wealthy family in Qingzhou, brought hundreds of servants and old and young to our Liansheng Temple to pray for blessings."

Qi Tianlin's eyebrows twitched.

The Jia family in Qingzhou has hundreds of servants, young and old?

Could it be that the pile of rotting corpses outside Liaojia Village are the people from the Jia Mansion in Qingzhou?

The number matches, but it is not the Jia family in Qingzhou. We have to wait for the Ministry of Justice to investigate and confirm it tomorrow.

"This is a good thing, which proves that the incense of your temple is becoming more and more prosperous."

Qi Tianlin immediately changed the subject, "By the way, Master, how has my mother been this year? Does she want to see me?"

Seeing the other party slowly lower his eyes, Qi Tianlin understood.

Even though I already know the result, my heart still aches.

The Queen Mother...still refused to see him.

After chatting for a while, Master Huian left to rest.

After Qi Tianlin returned to his room, he asked Qilin: "Qilin, do you need to rest?"

Qilin replied politely: "Look at you, the power in Qilin can last for ten years, you can consume it as you like."

Qi Tianlin frowned: "Continue...the voyage?"

What means?

Kirin explained: "Under normal use, it can last for ten years without shutting down. In addition, if Kirin enters combat mode that consumes too much energy, the battery life will be reduced by half."

Qi Tianlin lowered his head and analyzed silently.

If the Qilin is "awake" every day, it can only be used for ten years instead of a lifetime?

If you use it every day, will it become useless like waste after ten years?

This is the most precious item Jiayu gave him, so he must take good care of it and try to extend its life.

Thinking of this, Qi Tianlin said to Qilin: "How about you take a rest when I don't need you?"

Qilin's expression suddenly turned into a paralyzed one: "Got it! It will automatically shut down in 5 seconds. The countdown begins. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes closed.

At this moment, the body looks as straight as a sculpture.

Qi Tianlin looked at the turned-off Qilin in wonder, then went back to bed.

He picked up the jade pendant and stared at it in a daze, as the light had disappeared without a trace.

If it weren't for Jiayu and her doctor, the villagers who were infected by the plague in Liaojia Village would probably have had a hard time surviving.

Just as he was lost in thought, the jade pendant suddenly lit up again, and Qi Tianlin curled his lips in delight.

However, when he heard the crackling sound coming from the other end, Qi Tianlin frowned.

"Jiayu, are you asleep?"

I don’t know if it was because I heard his voice, but suddenly the crackling sound disappeared.

Qi Tianlin wondered in his heart, was the noise just now made by Jiayu?

What is she doing?
