Chapter 2: Your Highness? King of Longevity?

  When Zhang Di Xin opened his eyes for the second time, it was already the beginning of the night. The woman with a clear and elegant appearance, wearing strange clothes, saw Zhang Di Xin wake up and "thud" knelt on the ground: "Your Highness spare my life, I'm just a slave who disturbed Your Highness! I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"

  The woman said, and suddenly burst into tears. Zhang Emperor Xin didn't care about these things anymore, and pulled the person up: "Where is this? Who am I?"

  "Your Highness... spare my life! Spare my life!" The woman's face was now covered in tears, and even her speech began to stutter.

  "Spare my life?! Your Highness?! Zhang Di Xin heard this person keep saying this, and subconsciously looked at his own clothes and the surroundings, with growing confusion in his heart: "Spare you from death! Spare you from death! Quickly tell me where is this place, who am I?!"

  As soon as Zhang Disen said this, the woman immediately stopped crying and stared at him in surprise: "Your Highness, are you still drunk? This is the Shouyang City Shouwang Fu, you are the Crown Prince of Shouwang!"

  Moy City?! Shou Wang?! Zhang Di Xin felt that these were somewhat familiar, these words, seemed... seemed to have been seen not long ago: "Could it be that I've actually returned to ancient times?!"

  "Is Your Highness unwell?" The woman asked tentatively as Zhang Emperor Xin spoke of things she couldn't understand.

  "Have I really traveled through time?! Zhang Di Xin's heart was racing with excitement, he grabbed the woman's hand and asked loudly: "Tell me, what era is this? Who is the emperor?"

  "Your... Your Majesty, I don't know what the emperor is! Spare my life, Your Highness! Spare my life!" As soon as she saw Zhang Emperor Xin again, the woman directly fell to the ground, kneeling on the ground, and didn't even dare to breathe a word.

  Damn it! How could this be! Kneeling has become a habit, hasn't it?! Zhang Disheng scolded himself for being so timid. In his heart, he was even more certain of his own identity - as a ruler in ancient times, those so-called "masters" were nothing but tools at his disposal. He could kill them if he wanted to, without any hesitation or concern, and certainly no need to worry about someone coming to check the water meter in the middle of the night.

  Calm down, Zhang Dexin pulled up the woman: "Who is the emperor of today?"

  "Your Highness, aren't you confused? Today's Son of Heaven is Emperor Yi, your own father!"

  Emperor Yi? ! Zhang Di Xin had not yet determined which monarch this was when he saw the wall from above, with black mysterious bird patterns, and the bronze objects in the room were also engraved with oracle bones. At that time, it was finally confirmed - he himself had not died, but had mistakenly crossed over to the Shang Dynasty!

  Although in the 25th century, many people were studying time-space shuttle or space wormhole, but no one could succeed, and only appeared in the plot of crossing, it actually fell directly on Zhang Di Xin's own head!

  Is it the sudden change of the tomb space, or did that ferocious beast bring itself here? Zhang Emperor Xin vaguely remembered that the stone statue's face looked very familiar, and unexpectedly, the stone statue's face was exactly the same as his own!

  The woman saw Zhang Emperor Xin staring blankly at the roof, muttering to himself, and was suddenly shocked. She rolled out and ran out, shouting: "Something's wrong! Someone come! The King of Shou is in trouble!"

  This loud shout, however, was not a big deal. The surroundings were in an uproar, and Zhang Disheng, who had calmed down by now, only thought of his "Your Highness" identity at this time, which was not to be trifled with. If he wasn't careful, he might end up dead. For the time being, he could only think about how to respond. If he were dragged out and executed right away, wouldn't that be a waste?

  Escape? This idea had just sprouted in Zhang Dexin's mind, but he immediately extinguished it. He had just arrived in the Shang Dynasty and didn't know anything about the local customs or writing system. Even if he managed to escape from the imperial city, he wouldn't be able to find work as a laborer, and if he was caught, he would likely become a slave. That would be a tragic fate beyond all tragedies.

  The only way now is how to use this new identity to make oneself live happily...

  After a moment, a group of people walked in, led by two beautiful women, dressed in elegant silk and satin, extremely luxurious.

  One of them was slightly older and upon seeing Zhang Di Xin, furrowed his brow and asked anxiously: "Your Highness, what's going on? Hasn't he sobered up yet?"

  Another person sat on one side, holding a jade pot: "Your Highness, this is a sobering soup. Please drink it first."

  What?! Zhang Di Xin couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, his brow furrowed: "Who are you?"

  "Your Highness doesn't even recognize us two!" The two women were shocked, exchanged a glance with each other, and immediately knew that Zhang Emperor Xin's current situation was not trivial. They hastily questioned the attendants: "Where did Your Highness go that day? How could you be so careless?"

  The people below, upon hearing this, immediately knelt down on the ground and loudly cried out: "Your Majesties, it was after returning from drinking at the Wu Xuan Hall in the palace the other day... that things became like this..."

  Two people heard that Zhang Emperor Xin was drinking in the Wujiandian, and it was also a common practice. Shouwang had been in the Wujiandian for a long time, whether drinking, martial arts or... rarely returned to his own palace, and also made the two of them inevitably suffered from neglect.

  It was the slightly older man who detected the hidden meaning in the servant's words, but since Zhang Emperor Xin was present, he didn't dare to ask questions either. He could only let the other person go down. Just then, a person came rushing over with a fiery spirit, with silver threads fluttering on his long sleeves and wide robe. Behind him, a black mysterious bird seemed to come alive.

  Everyone knelt down and said: "Pay respects to the Son of Heaven."

  Is this Emperor Yi? As soon as Zhang Emperor Xin heard the title, he was about to get out of bed, but was held back by Emperor Yi: "How is the king's son? Is his body still uncomfortable?"

  Zhang Di Xin looked at Emperor Yi's appearance, with a dignified and majestic air, but also with a hint of kindness, his tone was not like that of an emperor, but rather like that of an ordinary father.

  "Wang Er, you don't recognize your wife, but do you recognize your father?" Emperor Yi's tone changed as he spoke to Zhang Di Xin and Yan Yue Se, his voice stern as he asked the attendants, "Did the Crown Prince only go to the Wu Xuan Hall?"

  Di Yi asked this way, listening to the reply of the lower officials, but it made Zhang Di Xin almost vomit blood! How can there be such an emperor in the world, it's simply unbelievable!

  It turned out that three days ago, coincidentally on a rainy day with thunder and lightning, King Shou was drunk in the Wujiange Hall and insisted on returning to his own palace. When he passed by the Huilong Pond, someone lost a yellow silk ribbon, which floated into the pond. King Shou claimed it was a golden dragon and insisted on diving into the pond to retrieve it.

  When the people below saw Shou Wang like this, how could they be willing to follow him? They all blocked his way, but Shou Wang was so powerful that he directly threw more than a dozen of his subordinates into the water and jumped in himself! Unexpectedly, Shou Wang couldn't swim. In the dragon pool, he drank a belly full of water and fainted directly!

  "Preposterous! Absolutely preposterous!" Emperor Yi was furious upon hearing this, "You servants, how could you have let the Crown Prince behave in such a ridiculous manner, bringing shame to our great nation!"

  After saying this, Emperor Yi added another sentence behind his back, that this matter must not be leaked out. This made Zhang Emperor Xin feel a little embarrassed and warm in his heart. It is said that emperors are ruthless, but unexpectedly, Emperor Xin was so loving. This can also be considered as one's own good fortune...

  "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is waiting outside." At this moment, a person hastily approached, followed by three elderly men in their sixties with white hair and beards.

  When Emperor Yi saw the crowd, he waved his hand and let everyone accompany Zhang Yixin to treat his illness. Zhang Yixin felt a wave of helplessness in his heart and could only cooperate with him, covering his head and looking weak, occasionally saying that it hurt, and couldn't think of anything to say, with a painful expression on his face. Emperor Yi and the two women beside him saw Zhang Yixin like this and furrowed their brows even more tightly.

  Mediocre! Really mediocre! Zhang Di Xin cursed in his heart, this way, the "amnesia" performed in movies doesn't even know, it's really unknown how these people have been mixed in the palace for so long!

  "Wang Er! Just the other day, you were still replacing beams at Fei Yun Ge, how did it come to this?! What's to be done now...!" Emperor Yi was even more heartbroken when he saw that Zhang Di Xin couldn't even recognize his own father, and couldn't help but lament.

  "Father... I seem to vaguely recall that Zǐ Xīn, I think that's what my name is." Emperor Dì Xīn also didn't want his "old father" Emperor Yǐ to be so distressed, and stammered out the words.

  As for saying that his name is Zi Xin, Zhang Di Xin also did it on purpose. The current emperor is called Emperor Yi, if he says that his own name is Emperor Xin, I'm afraid that as soon as the words come out of his mouth, he will be directly dragged out by Emperor Yi and torn to pieces by five horses! The word "Emperor" in the strict hierarchy of the Shang Dynasty is not used casually!

  Di Yi's face suddenly lit up with joy: "You've thought of something? Quickly tell your father!"

  "Uh...... I...... just thinking about it makes my head ache......" Zhang Di Xin covered his head, furrowed his brow, and pretended to be in pain.

  "Alright, alright! It's good that you can remember your own name, don't think too much, just rest well." Emperor Yi saw Zhang Emperor Xin having a headache and instantly softened his heart, "Take good care of His Majesty during this time, if anything happens..."

  Before Emperor Yi could finish speaking, the servant who had just stood up immediately knelt down and said "I dare not".

  After Emperor Yi and the two strange women left, Zhang Di Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, pretending to have a headache was also unavoidable. If Emperor Yi had asked further, it would have been hard not to reveal his true intentions. Moreover, since he was "just recovering from a serious illness", how could he say too much?

  However, this "illness" also gave Zhang Disen a good reason. He spent more than a month wandering around the palace every day, searching for his lost "memory", combining his understanding of Shang Dynasty history, and finally figured out the situation of Emperor Shou, and became familiar with others.

  Emperor Yi heard that Shou Wang was fine, and his frowning face also relaxed, but Zhang Emperor Xin had some doubts in his heart. The position where he fell into the water at Huilong Pond, the railing was obviously loose, as if someone had done it on purpose...
