With quick steps, Zhao Yanxun ran quickly inside the high wall, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, breathing heavily from his mouth and nose.
I saw that he was wearing a purple round collar robe, the black gauze winged crown on his head had fallen to someone unknown, and a gold hairpin and jade ring kept his bun from being completely messed up.
"Ouch..."
Hearing this voice, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but shuddered, and the zombies were chasing him...
What should I do? What should I do? Zhao Yanxun’s heart was on fire, and now he was in a dead end.
Just when he was feeling anxious, several "people" in ragged clothes appeared at the corner, roaring like beasts from their throats.
Zhao Yanxun looked at the few people who appeared, and saw the scarlet red in each other's eyes. Zhao Yanxun was almost paralyzed with fear. At this moment, he could only rely on instinct to retreat.
The few people at the corner were like wild beasts seeing prey. At this moment, they slowly walked towards Zhao Yanxun, and the low growls in their throats became more and more urgent.
When Zhao Yanxun retreated to the wall, he had no way to retreat and could only watch the zombies getting closer and closer.
With a few "ouch" sounds, the zombies in front of them opened their fangs and rushed towards Zhao Yanxun with a fishy smell...
…
On the bed, Zhao Yanxun suddenly opened his eyes, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
I saw his chest rising and falling, obviously he had not recovered from the nightmare.
Fortunately, this was the second time he had this dream, so his mood gradually calmed down and his breathing finally stabilized.
Looking at the strange yet familiar environment in front of him, Zhao Yanxun murmured: "It seems that we really can't go back!"
Three days ago, the boy's name was Zhao Xun, and he was still a social animal in the 21st century. He just celebrated his 26th birthday and died suddenly while working overtime continuously.
Unexpectedly, he lived another life, and Zhao Xun became Zhao Yanxun, the ninth prince of the Jin Dynasty.
Zhao Xun was weak and sickly before, and died after contracting the cold, which allowed Zhao Xun to take advantage of the opportunity.
"I thought that if I was reborn into the royal family, I would be able to enjoy the blessings of being a social animal. Who would have thought...this damn ancient world will also have its apocalypse!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Yanxun silently recited the word "system" in his heart, and a panel appeared in his mind.
What is displayed on the panel is "30 days, 17 hours, 58 minutes and 26 seconds", and the data is changing every second. The end of the world is coming in more than thirty days.
"The apocalyptic survival system... this is fucking ancient times, what kind of chaos is coming in the apocalypse!" Zhao Yanxun couldn't help complaining.
In his spare time from work in his previous life, Zhao Yanxun also watched many apocalyptic movies and TV series, but the backgrounds of the stories were all in the future, and he had never heard of an apocalyptic crisis breaking out in ancient times.
Is it an outbreak of zombies? Or is it an asteroid hitting the earth? Or is it a large volcano erupting? Or is it an earthquake or tsunami?
Zhao Yanxun made random guesses, but had no clue at all. He felt anxious even if he had a system.
That's why he kept having nightmares in the past two days. Zhao Yanxun had watched a lot of zombie movies in his previous life, and any one of them would give him a wonderful nightmare.
Just as Zhao Xun... no, just as Zhao Yanxun continued to familiarize himself with the memories of his predecessor, the eunuch's voice sounded outside the gauze tent.
"Your Highness, it's time to get up, your Majesty is still waiting there!"
"knew!"
Zhao Yanxun only said three words. He has not fully mastered the memory of his original body yet. If he talks too much, it will be easy to reveal his flaws.
Pulling the quilt to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Zhao Yanxun didn't feel any strange at all.
After a while, the candles in the room were lit. With the help of the firelight, Zhao Yanxun could see that four young eunuchs were busy, and two other maids stepped forward and opened the gauze curtain.
There was no need to move at all. Someone immediately came to Zhao Yanxun's bedside and carefully helped him up.
"This slave is waiting for His Highness to change his clothes!"
Zhao Yanxun's face was expressionless. After adapting for the past two days, he was now able to accept the service of the eunuchs safely.
This is actually not difficult, because Zhao Yanxun doesn't have to do anything, he just needs to stand.
Standing in front of the bronze mirror with his hands raised, Zhao Yanxun allowed the eunuchs to dress him in robes. These clothes were quite complicated and difficult for one person to do in a short time.
As the ninth son of the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, Zhao Yanxun will turn sixteen in three days, in other words he will be an adult.
But now, the whole Jin Dynasty court was in a quarrel because of this newly grown prince.
The emperor favored Zhao Yanxun's biological mother, Concubine Duan, and he loved the house so much that he began to think of abolishing the eldest son and establishing the younger one, and wanted to help Zhao Yanxun become the crown prince.
The Tian family has no self-interest, and the emperor's idea of violating the ancestral system caused an uproar in the court.
Since the emperor revealed his intentions six years ago, the ministers have put aside their political differences, and an absolute majority have opposed the emperor's "ridiculous" move.
And this matter of abolishing the throne was delayed from the 18th year of Tai'an to the spring of the 24th year of Tai'an. Now that Zhao Yanxun has grown up, the emperor's idea of abolishing the throne has not been realized.
"Now, a large number of officials in the imperial court have petitioned to make me, the ninth prince, the vassal king. They want to drive me out of the capital..."
"It's just that the emperor's father refused to express his position, but put his predecessor on the fire!"
"Perhaps the predecessor died of an illness, so someone might be playing tricks on him. Otherwise, how could he fall ill at this time?"
Thoughts were flying in Zhao Yanxun's mind, but at the moment he was silent.
There are so many eyes and ears in the palace, and saying anything wrong could cause big trouble.
Although Zhao Yanxun had only traveled through time for three days, he still learned a lot about the dark side of the palace from the memory of the original owner.
For Zhao Yanxun at the moment, the most important thing is not to be a prince, but to survive from this world.
Although he has been bound to the apocalyptic survival system, the system will not be activated until the countdown is over, so at this moment he has no direction to work hard.
Coupled with the fact that he was a prince at the moment, all the eyes of the court were staring at him, so Zhao Yanxun did not dare to act rashly for the time being.
He can only take one step at a time... Zhao Yanxun secretly thought in his heart that the dangers he experienced in his previous life gave him a strong heart.
"Your Highness, you can move now!"
The young eunuch's reminding voice woke Zhao Yanxun from his thoughts, and he couldn't help but see himself in the mirror.
I saw him wearing a black gauze winged crown, a purple round-collared dragon robe with four claws, a jade belt around his waist and soap boots on his feet, which added a bit of nobility to the already handsome Zhao Yanxun.
I have to say that Zhao Yanxun is still very satisfied with the appearance of his new body.
"Let's drive!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice. This was also the attitude that his predecessor should have.
Feudal society had strict hierarchies. Not to mention the dignified prince of the empire, the young ladies from ordinary wealthy families were also dignified in front of their servants.
Although Zhao Yanxun is a second-generation man, he also knows the principle of doing as the Romans do when he is in the country, and he has to do whatever he wants when he is weak.
Under the guidance of the eunuchs and maids, Zhao Yanxun passed through several doors in the palace and walked out of the main hall where he lived.
When a prince is one year old after birth, he must leave his biological mother and live in the prince's residence. Because Concubine Duan was deeply favored by the emperor, Zhao Yanxun did not arrive at the prince's residence until he was ten years old.
It was also that year that the emperor had the idea of abolishing the elders and establishing younger ones, which made Zhao Yanxun's life in the Prince's Office difficult to calm down.
Stepping out of the threshold of the main hall, you will see a chariot waiting for you, with several young eunuchs carrying the chariot standing respectfully.
Whether it is the dragon robe that represents the prince's identity or the chariot sedan at the entrance of the hall, Zhao Yanxun, as a prince, cannot own it.
But the emperor gave him all these things, which shows that the emperor dotes on his son. Of course, the root cause is still because of Concubine Duan.
With the help of the eunuchs, Zhao Yanxun sat on the chariot sedan. He heard one of the eunuchs shout "get up the sedan chair", and the chariot sedan was lifted up.
This was the first time that Zhao Yanxun walked out of the prince's residence in three days of time travel, and the person he wanted to see was his biological mother, Concubine Duan.
In fact, during the past three days when he was recovering from illness, Concubine Duan visited him every day, but Zhao Yanxun used "being tired" as an excuse and did not say a few words to Concubine Duan.
Sitting on the chariot sedan, Zhao Yanxun raised his head and looked above the palace wall. At this moment, he could already see the sun breaking through the clouds.
The chariot and sedan moved forward slowly, and from time to time they met eunuchs and maidens working on the road. When they saw Zhao Yanxun passing by, they all stopped what they were doing, and then knelt on the ground to salute.
Along the way, Zhao Yanxun didn't see anyone standing except for the eunuchs and maids who followed him.
The palace was very large, and after turning more than a dozen times along the way and crossing seven or eight palace gates, Zhao Yanxun appeared outside the gate of Xianfu Palace.
The chariot sedan slowly descended, and the eunuch on the side whispered: "Your Highness, the empress is waiting for you inside!"
Although he has a strong heart, Zhao Yanxun is still slightly nervous at this moment. He is still afraid that the fake person will be exposed in a while.
But no matter how worried he was, this level had to be passed, so after the eunuch finished speaking, Zhao Yanxun stood up from the chariot sedan.
When he reached the steps of the palace gate, Zhao Yanxun looked up at the plaque of "Xianfu Palace", held the jade belt in his hand and walked up the steps.
The young eunuch who was following him shouted loudly: "His Majesty Ninth Prince, send your regards to the empress!"
