Hidden in the court

The sunlight leaking in from the window fell obliquely on Tan Heng's face, making her originally fair skin glow abnormally. Upon closer inspection, it was not light at all, but crystal clear sweat.

But the scene before him moved Zhao Yao. He didn't know when the girl woke up, but she had been trying not to make any noise. Even if he was closer, he could only hear the muffled groans rolling out of her throat.

But the girl tried her best to endure it, her jawline was stretched into a cold arc, her hair was soaked with cold sweat and stuck to her forehead, her body was trembling and convulsing. Her bare hands were tightly grasping the brocade quilt, her fingertips were so white that they were almost transparent, and they pinched out several deep crescents on the sheets.

Zhao Yao felt all of this as soon as he came in, and he was really worried for her.

Bone-eroding pain? It's not that simple. At this moment, the girl's whole body, from inside to outside, bones, skin, and even internal organs have changed. This change has created the appearance of reshaping the body, but in fact it is not much different from shattering the whole body. And all this happened after the change. When the girl woke up, the pain accumulated by the changes in her whole body attacked her at the same time. You can imagine...

Not to mention that she was a weak girl, even if Ji Mingshang tried, she would probably die on the spot.

Seeing this, he didn't say much. He put the medicine on the table, turned his back to block Tan Heng's sight, took out a knife from his body, disinfected it briefly, and gently cut his finger. Two drops of blood dripped into the medicine bowl...

"Tsk... it seems like it's a bit too deep..."

But Tan Heng definitely couldn’t hear his muttering now.

Seeing Zhao Yao coming over with a bowl, she used all her strength to turn her head. But even this simple movement caused her shoulders to rise and fall violently in pain. Then she looked at him, and Zhao Yao saw the determination in the girl's eyes. But no matter how strong she was, no matter how determined her eyes were, she couldn't hide the pain surging in her eyes. Even though she was trembling with pain, she didn't let out a single sound of weakness through her clenched teeth. Only in the intervals between breaths, a very light breath rolled through her throat, like flying catkins crushed by the wind, floating out weakly...

Zhao Yao knew that it was not that she could still bear it, but that she was completely exhausted.

"I took the initiative in an emergency, I'm sorry..."

Just as he was thinking about how to give her the medicine, Tan Heng's body suddenly relaxed and he fainted from the pain.

Zhao Yao silently took out a bundle of hemp ropes... After thinking for a while, he put it away, replaced it with a large piece of cloth, and wrapped Tan Heng up from behind, and even carefully fixed his neck...

Then he carefully pulled up the remaining cloth and lifted her upper body up little by little.

"almost……"

At this moment, Ji Mingshang pushed the door open and walked in, his eyes pointed directly at the two people beside the bed. Of course, he knew that there was nothing between the two of them, but at this moment, in this situation, how could he not commit a crime?

He was possessed by a drama spirit. He covered his mouth with one hand and pointed at them with the other. His outstretched index finger was shaking as if he had been electrocuted.

"What the hell? You guys are... No way, big brother, you tied me up like this! You guys are playing like this..."

There is no doubt that Zhao Yao's face darkened instantly. He ignored Ji Mingshang and planned to continue injecting medicine.

With one hand holding the cloth and the other holding a handkerchief, he held her face and pinched her mouth to open it...

I took the bowl and tried to drink a little bit, but it didn't go in? I looked carefully and found that I was dizzy and my tongue was stuck in my throat...

"Stop being dramatic and go get some chopsticks from the kitchen!"

……

After much effort, they finally managed to force her to swallow half a bowl of medicine. They slowly laid her flat and untied the cloth wrapped around her body, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh - it's finally done."

Ji Mingshang rolled on the ground and looked at Zhao Yao, "I'm not saying that you should just feed me medicine, but you've wrapped me up like a dumpling, are you trying to avoid suspicion?"

"The person has already fainted, and it's not at that time. You'd better try to avoid him."

"Okay, do whatever you want. I don't care. I'll have someone keep an eye on the capital to see if Zhang Banxian shows up, okay? Boring, let's go! Go find someone for you! Save some lunch for me!"

After Ji Mingshang finished speaking, he walked towards the door, spread his hands, and just as he opened the door, a foot came towards him and landed right on his shoe.

"hiss--"

But no one heard the sound of his gasp, because another sound was heard the next second.

"Who said we wanted to have lunch? Can you give me an extra set of bowls and chopsticks?"

Upon hearing the voice, Ji Mingshang no longer cared about pretending. He looked carefully and found that Luo Lin was following Zhang Banxian.

"Why are you stepping on me, you idiot?"

"I am just seeking justice for my good disciple. Please don't take it as an offense, my Lord."

After saying that, without waiting for Ji Mingshang's reaction, he took out a small gourd from his sleeve and shook it, then turned to Zhao Yao and said with a smile: "Sir, I wonder if this gourd of pills can be exchanged for lunch?"

After saying that, he looked at Tan Heng, who was sleeping on the bed with a steady breathing, and put the things on the table.

"Of course, Ji Mingshang, go buy some groceries."

Zhao Yao agreed and immediately gave the order.

"No, no, why would I go out to buy groceries? I've been boiling medicine for the whole morning, whoever wants to go can go. I'm not going!"

Zhang Banxian smiled slightly and said to Luo Lin, "Disciple, since the Marquis is not going, then you go and buy some more of your favorite food, okay?"

Rowling understood the situation and agreed with a grin.

"No... ahem, it's mainly because the security in the capital has been bad these past two days, and I'm worried about her going out alone..."

Unfortunately, no one present listened to his explanation. Turning around, he saw that Rowling was almost out the door.

At this time, Ji Mingshang had no time to make up for it and followed him immediately.

"Lin'er, wait for me."

It has to be said that no matter how fast his short legs moved, he couldn't run far. He was caught up by Ji Mingshang as soon as he stepped out of the door.

"Can you buy me some food?"

"Do you really think this meal is for us? It's for Sister Tan. She's a patient, how can she eat what you like?"

Ji Mingshang smacked his lips helplessly, "I can tell you don't know the inside story. Let me tell you, Tan Heng's 'strange disease' has basically no effect on her after the onset of the disease, and she is still like a normal person. She also ate a lot of what Lao Zhao cooked yesterday. So, she can eat anything.

Besides, a good cook cannot cook without rice. If I don’t buy some good food to take back, even if Lao Zhao is a good cook, how delicious can the food he makes be? "

This made Rowling a little shaken, and Ji Mingshang decided to add fuel to the fire.

"Madam, you don't want your master to spend so much energy on refining the elixir, only to end up with a table of tasteless vegetarian dishes..."
