Hidden in the court

Chapter 136: Seeking Medical Treatment Turns into Kidnapping

"My Lord, he is next door, but this boy was invited in after he politely knocked on the door. What should we do? Should we fight or not?"

"You're quite polite. Stand guard at the door. If there's any noise inside, just rush in."

After thinking about it again, isn't there something wrong with this situation? As he thought about it, a smile appeared on Ji Mingshang's lips again.

"Come on, I have good ears, I'll go and listen!"

Back in Tan Heng's house, Tan Heng first poured Zhou Boxian a glass of water. However, this ordinary way of hospitality did not seem right to Zhou Boxian.

In his opinion, this was a friendly signal. Tan Heng exuded a kind of cold beauty that was untainted by the dust, with a hint of imperceptible melancholy.

The fingers resting on the teacup are slender and white, like a carved work of art.

Every breath she took seemed to affect everything around her, and also made Zhou Boxian's heart excited.

He spoke before Tan Heng sat down, "I know that the young lady is not displeased with me. She is suffering from a serious illness and does not want to implicate me. This gentle and virtuous woman is also known by Bo Hyun."

This one sentence made Tan Heng fall into deep thought. What was he talking about? Didn’t he talk about these things this morning?

"But Bo Hyun fell in love with the young lady at first sight, and he was deeply devoted to her. You and I knew each other and loved each other, but our illness did not allow it. Moreover, our parents' orders and the matchmaker's words were like shackles, binding us tightly. I really don't want to see our love being destroyed so ruthlessly. I don't care about the young lady's illness, and I am willing to give up my huge fortune for her. You and I will elope to another place, build a love nest together, find a famous doctor, and stay away from the troubles of this world from now on."

As soon as these words were said, even Tan Heng's calm face showed shock. But Zhou Boxian still didn't wait for her to speak, and continued:

"I know this road is full of unknowns and hardships, but I am willing to use all my abilities to support you. Let's go to a distant place, where there is no restraint, only freedom. I will work hard to let you live a happy life, no longer suffering from illness and pain, and no longer suffer any grievances. Miss Tan is a talented woman. Haven't you heard of the story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun in the Western Han Dynasty? For love, they eloped regardless of everything and finally created a good story. Although Zhou is not a talented man or a beautiful woman, his love for the girl is equally sincere and passionate. Why can't we follow the ancients and bravely pursue our own happiness?"

After saying these words, he looked at Tan Heng again, only to see that she looked excited, her lips slightly parted, as if she wanted to say something.

"Come again..."

However, Tan Heng's lips seemed to have turned even paler, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he put one hand on the table, closed his eyes, and fell to the ground without any warning. Only Zhou Boxian's shouting could be heard in his ears.

"Hey, Miss Tan, what's wrong with you? What are you talking about..."

Zhou Boxian didn't know what to do when Tan Heng fell to the ground. At this time, all the pharmacies in the city were closed, and it was difficult to find a doctor. He could only go back to Zhou's house to find a doctor.

Zhou Boxian immediately helped the person up. Fortunately, everyone in the inn had rested at that time, and the people from the Tan family did not notice that their young lady had been taken away.

Until he drove his carriage to the city gate, "Open the gate!"

No wonder he was so arrogant and demanded to open the city gate in the middle of the night. The general in charge of guarding the city gate was also his uncle from the Zhou family, not to mention the ordinary soldiers guarding the city, who more or less had to give his Zhou family some face.

"Nephew, why are you still in the city and not going home?"

"Uncle, please open the door. I ran away today. My father will definitely punish me if I don't go back tonight."

Faced with his uncle's questioning, Zhou Boxian could only lie. He said he ran away secretly and there was someone hiding in the car, so he naturally couldn't tell the truth.

"Nonsense, you are making things difficult for me. Can the city gate be opened casually?"

"I know. Just open a crack and let me out. Otherwise, I will really..."

Zhou Boxian was taught a lesson by his uncle, but he was a family member after all, and Lujiang was still under the control of the Zhou family. The emperor was far away, so it was not impossible to give him some convenience.

"Open the door!"

After leaving the house and the city gate was closed, Zhou Boxian finally realized that he couldn't go back. He had sneaked out and dared to go back to seek medical treatment. Most importantly, he brought Tan Heng with him. How could he explain this to his family?

After thinking it over, he made a bold decision, which was to run away.

I looked back at Tan Heng. His breathing was steady, so he should be fine, right?

Besides, she didn't reject me, so doesn't this mean she agrees?

He made a decision immediately and drove away in the dark.

"Just follow me..."

Ji Mingshang led dozens of riders and followed the car from a distance, with a smile on his face that almost reached his ears.

"If you really feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow."

Zhou Boxian drove the carriage quickly in the night. Perhaps because he was not experienced in driving, he was fully focused for once.

"Tan Heng" behind him had woken up, and as soon as he opened his eyes he saw Zhou Boxian driving at night.

Who is this person? How can he drive a carriage in the middle of the night?

Zhou Boxian noticed the movement behind him, but maybe because he was too focused on driving, he just glanced back and found that Tan Heng woke up.

"Ms. Tan, you're awake. Just wait. We can leave soon."

These words made "Tan Heng" behind him shudder. He immediately shut his mouth and held his breath. What was going on? Was this Tan Heng going to kidnap him?

Driving in the middle of the night and saying such strange things, she felt that the person in front of her looked more and more like a kidnapper.

At this time, Zhou Boxian spoke again:

"Tan Heng, I can finally be with you. Let's elope and get away from this world that binds us..."

Yo, is this guy a lunatic?

Tan Yuewan thought about it and felt something was wrong. She was shocked. She remembered that it was this plot. The "madman" in front of her was probably Zhou Boxian, the eldest son of the Zhou family. This was not an elopement at all, but a naked kidnapping.

Then the next plot is that Zhao Yao suddenly appears and saves Tan Heng. Thinking of this, Tan Yuewan feels more and more fortunate that she woke up in time.

If she wakes up a little later, and Zhao Yao comes to save Tan Heng instead of her, then she will have nothing to do with the plot. How can this be? She is the woman who will become the queen.

I have to say that Zhou Boxian’s driving skills are really not that good.

After driving the carriage for almost a whole night, we had not yet left the territory of Lujiang County, and we almost fell into the ditch several times along the way.

Ji Mingshang led dozens of riders but could only slow down and follow far behind. He felt very wronged as his buttocks were bumped by the horses all night.

The whole night of waiting also made Tan Yuewan a little confused. She wondered why Zhao Yao hadn't come yet?
