Chapter 200: Layers of Mist

After Yan Hong put a pot full of mountain spring water on the table, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, carefully poured out a golden pill, held it to Sima Hongyan's mouth, and said, "Open your mouth!" ”

Sima Hongyan ducked back and asked, "What is this?" Yan Hong replied: "The secret medicine in the palace, specializing in the treatment of internal injuries, take it quickly!" As he spoke, he sent the pill to Sima Hongyan's mouth again, and he actually wanted to feed the medicine to Sima Hongyan's mouth in person.

Sima Hongyan was embarrassed to hide again, and said, "You put it in my hand, and I'll take it myself." ”

Yan Hong snorted lightly and said, "Are you going to take advantage of you when I take the opportunity?" If you raise your hand, you will definitely pull the injury, this medicine is not easy to come by, isn't it a pity to waste it if it falls to the ground? ”

What Yan Hong said was the truth, Sima Hongyan only moved two chairs just now, and he was involved in a faint pain in his chest, and this matter naturally did not escape Yan Hong's eyes.

Seeing Yan Hong's kindness, Sima Hongyan was no longer hypocritical, but after all, he was still a little embarrassed to let Yan Hong feed the medicine, so he simply closed his eyes, and slowly opened his mouth with a fever on his face.

But it was this slightly shy and delicate state that made Yan Hong's heart beat faster, and the hand holding the medicine hesitated for a long time without stretching it out.

Sima Hongyan waited for a long time with his mouth half-open, but he didn't see the entrance of the medicine, and he opened his eyes strangely to look, only to see Yan Hong looking at himself with the medicine in his eyes, and he was a little confused in his eyes.

"Hey!" Sima Hongyan shouted at Yan Hong and said angrily, "What do you want? Give me medicine! Woo~"

Yan Hong was shouted by Sima Hongyan, came back to his senses, and knew that he had lost his temper in front of Sima Hongyan, so he hurriedly sent the pill into Sima Hongyan's mouth. Sima Hongyan was talking at this time, and Yan Hong was caught off guard by pouring the medicine into his mouth, sliding down his throat and into his stomach, and was choked and coughed again and again without defense.

This is a panic that Yan Hong has never had, seeing that he made Sima Hongyan cough, he hurriedly poured a glass of water and apologized: "Oops! I'm really sorry, but I'm pushing a little hard, but are youβ€”are you okay? ”

After a few sips of water in a hurry, Sima Hongyan felt better, and complained to Yan Hongdao: "Are you choking me to death?" ”

Yan Hong looked at Sima Hongyan and said, "I don't know why, every time I encounter something related to you, it will make me behave out of shape, do you say that it is possible that you are my former enemy?" ”

Sima Hongyan ignored Yan Hong's ridicule, and at this time, the pill entered the abdomen and turned into a warm current, circulating in Sima Hongyan's body. Sima Hongyan only felt that his whole body was refreshed, and the few internal injuries on his body that were still faintly aching had also been greatly alleviated, and it seemed that the secret medicine of this palace was indeed extraordinary.

Feeling that he was no longer in trouble, Sima Hongyan poured a glass of mountain spring water, helped Emperor Yanzhen to feed him to drink. However, because Emperor Yanzhen was unconscious, Sima Hongyan fed it little by little for a long time before he finished feeding a teacup of water.

Maybe it's because of the bright red light in the room, maybe it's the first time to get along with Sima Hongyan in such a dark room, in short, Yan Hong doesn't know if he is affected by the environment, his heart is unusually turbulent, and his eyes are always inseparable from Sima Hongyan.

As the saying goes, "Look at the beauty under the lamp, the more you look at it, the more spirited you are!" Yan Hong felt that Sima Hongyan, who was feeding his father water at this time, was very beautiful, so beautiful that it made people's hearts flutter. Yan Hong couldn't help but say to Sima Hongyan: "You hide the room so dimly, and it's so red, it looks a bit like a newlywed cave room." ”

Usually Yan Hong had never said such frivolous words, but after Sima Hongyan let Emperor Yanzhen lie down, he turned his head and looked at him strangely, and asked, "What's wrong with you today?" Strange talking. Listen to you, as if you've been in a cave? ”

At this time, the imperial doctor had already boiled the decoction as instructed and brought it in. Yan Hong deliberately turned around, took a few steps to the side, and opened some distance from Sima Hongyan.

When the imperial doctor put down the medicine, Yan Hong ordered: "After going out, stay at the door, no one can come in without my order." The Imperial Physician bowed to the order, turned and went out and closed the door.

Sima Hongyan took the medicine bowl and asked Yan Hong to help help Emperor Yanzhen up, if such a large bowl of medicine was as laborious as feeding water just now, I don't know how much time it would take. In order to make Emperor Yanzhen drink smoothly, Sima Hongyan smiled at Yan Hong and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to offend the emperor, don't blame me!" Yan Hong didn't know what Sima Hongyan was referring to, and was wondering, but saw Sima Hongyan push Emperor Yanzhen's head back, making Emperor Yanzhen's head rise, and then pinched Emperor Yanzhen's jaw to pry open his mouth, and poured a bowl of decoction into it.

Emperor Yanzhen did not resist, and the decoction went straight down his throat and into his abdomen. Although Sima Hongyan's methods were rude, they were effective, even if he was not very respectful to the emperor, it was to save the emperor. Yan Hong understood Sima Hongyan's intentions in his heart, so he simply turned his head and pretended not to see it.

After Sima Hongyan asked Yan Hong to put Emperor Yanzhen in place, he said to Yan Hong: "Next, we are going to find out the culprit who made the emperor fall ill inexplicably!" ”

Yan Hong looked at the boiling water that had been boiled in several stoves in the house, and asked, "Are you sure you can find these things you prepared?" Why do I think you're a bit of a trick? ”

Sima Hongyan glared at him and said: "All things in the world are mutually reinforcing and have an effect on each other, even if they can't be restrained, they can also have an impact." You'll find out later! ”

Seeing Sima Hongyan's confident appearance, Yan Hong stood by and watched the changes.

Sima Hongyan stepped forward to pick up the flames of several furnaces, so that the speed of boiling water accelerated. Then he piled a bunch of large and small boxes that Yan Hong found in the center of the room. The two of them just sat quietly in the room and observed the situation in the room.

With the gurgling sound of several pots of hot water, the room was gradually enveloped by the heat of water evaporation, and the humidity in the room became more and more humid.

After a while, the room was completely covered with steam, and Sima Hongyan picked up two lantern niches and placed them in front of the dragon bed, and then quickly retreated.

Seeing that the visibility in the house was getting lower and lower, Yan Hong said: "The water in the pot is about to boil out, haven't you found anything?" ”

Sima Hongyan stood in the middle of the room and said to Yan Hong: "You come to me!" Yan Hong looked back at Emperor Yan Zhen who was lying on the ground, and walked to Sima Hongyan's side. Sima Hongyan stretched out his hand and pointed to the dragon bed, and said, "You look carefully at the dragon bed, can you find anything?" ”

The whole room was filled with hot and humid water vapor, and the faces of the two of them were full of water droplets, I don't know whether it was sweat or the condensation of the water vapor that fell on their faces, and even the clothes on their bodies were wet at this time, sticky and twisted on their bodies.

Yan Hong followed Sima Hongyan's hand and looked at the dragon bed, and found that there was nothing but foggy water vapor, and was about to ask a question, Sima Hongyan said again: "You stare at it carefully, you have to look intently." ”

Yan Hong heard the words and looked carefully again according to what Sima Hongyan said, his eyes did not squint, and he stared directly at the dragon bed. But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't find anything, and I was feeling a little impatient, and suddenly I realized that something seemed to have changed in front of me. Yan Hong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't find anything when he looked at it again, it felt like a thread suddenly appeared in the chaos, and he couldn't catch it when he reached out to grab it.

However, Yan Hong's understanding is extremely high, and after a little thought, he realized that the more anxious he was in his heart, the more he couldn't find anything, so he restrained his spirit, calmed down, and recovered his flat mood before he went to observe again.

Sima Hongyan on the side just wanted Yan Hong to find out by himself, even if he had found some clues, he couldn't help but say nothing at this time, and waited patiently for Yan Hong to find it by himself.

Yan Hong, who calmed down, looked at the dragon bed, which was filled with water vapor, but there seemed to be something in the water vapor that was changing slightly, but the change was too small, although he found it, he couldn't say what it was.

Yan Hong's heart was full of surprise, and he was attracted by this wonderful change, and unconsciously took a few steps closer to the dragon bed. Sima Hongyan stared at Yan Hong's behavior, and also took a few steps forward.

Getting closer, Yan Hong saw more clearly, in fact, it was not that something was moving on the dragon bed, but that the water vapor condensed on the dragon bed seemed to be being controlled by an invisible force to roll back and forth. However, this rolling happens extremely slowly and very regularly.

The longer you stare at it, the clearer you can see, and these strange water vapors seem to be rotating around some force, spreading outward with a point as the center, and the more you rotate outward, the larger the circle, and the shape looks quite like a tornado that is laid backwards and diagonally.

Tornadoes, a natural phenomenon, often occur in the desert of the West, and Yan Hong has seen it. But seeing this strange phenomenon in the room was unprecedented, and in addition to being surprised, Yan Hong immediately asked Sima Hongyan beside him, "What's going on?" What's out there? ”

Sima Hongyan explained to Yan Hong: "According to my guess, there should be a magnetic field there!" ”

"Magnetic field?" Yan Hong heard this word for the first time, and turned his head to look at Sima Hongyan in confusion. Sima Hongyan seemed to be thinking about how to explain this problem, and pondered for a while before saying, "Do you remember the magnet we once talked about?" Why do two magnets attract each other to each other? This is what I call the magnetic field effect. ”

"Magnets?" Yan Hong did hear Sima Hongyan mention it, and after thinking about it, he remembered that it was still when he was in Tianling Mountain, when Nanfeng Guying told himself and Sima Hongyan what happened to him, Sima Hongyan had used a magnet as an analogy.

Sima Hongyan continued at this time: "In fact, the magnetic field is something that we can't see with the naked eye, but it is real, otherwise it can't explain the reason why magnets attract each other. I used to speculate that there would be something like a magnet in the world that could emit a killing magnetic field, and today, it seems that my guess is most likely true! ”

Speaking of this, Yan Hong had already understood seven or eight points, and he continued Sima Hongyan's words and said: "In this way, there must be something that causes a magnetic field on the dragon bed, and it is the invisible force emitted by this thing that causes the fog to change!" That is, this power killed people invisibly and injured his father. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "I guess that's it!" Now we're going to find out what it is that has such terrifying power. ”

Listening to what Sima Hongyan said, Yan Hong immediately realized that this incident was definitely someone who was planning to harm Emperor Yan Zhen, and the relationship between father and son couldn't help but make Yan Hong feel angry, and he was about to step forward to find the root of the magnetic field.

As soon as his body moved, he was pulled by Sima Hongyan from the side, and she persuaded Yan Hong: "Don't worry, you forgot that this thing harms people, but it doesn't matter who it is, wouldn't you rush over to find death?" ”

Yan Hong said: "Then what? The water in the pot is already boiled, and if you delay a little longer, the fog will dissipate, and I am afraid that you will not be able to find that mysterious thing by then! ”

Sima Hongyan smiled: "Just pretend to be some when the water is gone, since you know that the thing is on the bed, are you still afraid that it will run away with long legs?" Besides, what are you doing when I asked you to find so many boxes? Nature is here to deal with this. But then it depends on our luck, and hopefully these boxes of various materials in the palace will work. ”

Up to now, Yan Hong felt as if everything was under Sima Hongyan's control, but on the contrary, he had no clue at all, if it weren't for these strange methods used by Sima Hongyan, I am afraid that he would not be able to discover the mystery in his life.

To say that Yan Hong is quite conceited about what he has seen and heard, whether it is the strange things in the palace or in the rivers and lakes, he knows something, and even some strange rumors in the world Yan Hong deeply remember it in his mind. Because only by understanding these can we see these clearly, so that we will not be blinded. This is also the reason why Yan Hong became one of the few people who discovered that the cause of Sima Yongcheng's death was different.

But today, although the principle expounded by Sima Hongyan is similar to that of a magnet, Yan Hong searched his memory and did not find the slightest similar impression.

What he had never heard of, he didn't understand how Sima Hongyan, who had been out of the door since he was a child, understood it, and he could even use the method of boiling water to present the invisible power! This is too unbelievable, Yan Hong faintly feels that Sima Hongyan must have some secrets to hide from him!

Sima Hongyan didn't know that Yan Hong had so many complicated thoughts in her heart at this time, so she asked Yan Hong to take a step back and pile the pile of boxes in front of her.

Seeing that the mist in the house was gradually dissipating because the water was being steamed dry, Sima Hongyan quickened the movement in her hand, and after she put these boxes away, she asked Yan Hong, "Do you know what material these boxes are made of?" ”

Yan Hong's eyes swept roughly, nodded and said, "I know!" ”

Sima Hongyan said well, and with a movement of his hand, he began to throw these boxes one by one towards the dragon bed. At the same time, he said to Yan Hong: "You also help me pay attention to which box will break up the fog when it passes through that strange layer of mist!" ”

Yan Hong didn't understand, and said in his heart: "Break up the fog, how do you think about this?" Just as he was about to ask Sima Hongyan to be more detailed, the boxes in Sima Hongyan's hand had been thrown out one after another.

Strange to say, the boxes of various materials thrown out by Sima Hongyan all passed through the strange-shaped mist, but the mist still rolled slowly as before, and was not affected by the flying boxes in the slightest. Only then did Yan Hong understand what Sima Hongyan meant, and took back what he was going to say.

There are about a hundred or so boxes that Yan Hong ordered people to find, and there are dozens of them of all kinds of wood, including gold, silver, jade, ivory, and even some made of the bones of rare beasts. I am afraid that only the palace can have such a collection of so many precious boxes, and the things used to hold these boxes are probably even more valuable.

No matter what these boxes had contained before, they were now thrown out like toys in Sima Hongyan's hands. Each box passes through the fog exactly, but the effect is the same, with no effect on the fog.

In the end, when there were less than ten boxes left, Sima Hongyan was a little frustrated, originally thought that it should be easy to find something that could restrain this force, but he didn't expect that the boxes with so many materials would not work.

The remaining boxes were all thrown away in a blink of an eye, and the dragon bed was full of various small boxes thrown by Sima Hongyan at this time. As the water vapor in the room gradually dissipated, the distorted fog gradually faded, and finally disappeared completely.

Yan Hong, who was standing on the side, watched the whole process, his heart moved, and he said to Sima Hongyan: "This thing is somewhere on the dragon bed, and someone must have deliberately placed it here." I understand your thoughts, you think that the person who set this trap must have carried it with him in a container that can restrain this force, so that he can place it here without being harmed by this force. But have you thought about it? Even if there is a container that can hold this thing, it is necessary to take it out when it is placed, can the person who placed it at that time still be able to avoid the damage of this force? ”

Sima Hongyan immediately realized this problem in his heart when he heard this, Yan Hong was right, this thing must not only be carried, but also hide it here without being harmed, which means that there must be something in this person who designed the trap to restrain this power.

Yan Hong said again: "Do you think we should try it with all kinds of cloth or all kinds of stones?" I don't think what you're looking for is something particularly rare. ”

Sima Hongyan pondered seriously for a while, and said to Yan Hong: "I don't know if there is a magnet in the palace?" Maybe the magnetic field may have some effect on the magnetic field. ”

Yan Hong glanced at his father in the corner, and said to Sima Hongyan: "You are optimistic that the emperor is waiting for me here." Then he turned around and went out of the house to make arrangements.

Sima Hongyan went to check Emperor Yanzhen's pulse again, and found that it was beating much more powerful than just now, and his heart was a little calm, it seemed that Emperor Yanzhen's fate was saved.

Taking advantage of Yan Hong's efforts, Sima Hongyan found a place to sit down and went through the doubts in his heart. First of all, the first thing she thought of was who was going to kill Emperor Yanzhen! Why did you kill Emperor Yanzhen at this time? can set up a killing mechanism in the emperor's bedroom, this person must be a person who can move freely in the palace, so does this person have anything to do with the other four countries who came to Yanling?

After thinking about it for a long time, Sima Hongyan found that there were more and more unsolved mysteries in his heart. Now the person who wants to frame Emperor Yanzhen is very likely to be the same person who killed his father Sima Yongcheng and Emperor Yanrong back then, this person has been lurking in the palace for so many years, there must be a major plan, it seems that if you don't find this person quickly, the crisis will always be hidden around.

If Emperor Yanzhen hadn't been saved in time today, under that mysterious force, it was estimated that in half an hour, Emperor Yanzhen would definitely die. If Emperor Yanzhen dies today, Yanling will inevitably be in chaos. In the chaos in the country, I am afraid that the five-nation competition will be meaningless, and the other four countries have already deployed troops at the border, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take advantage of the Yanling Rebellion to make trouble. At that time, Yanling is afraid that it will suffer an unprecedented catastrophe.

Unless......

Suddenly, Sima Hongyan thought of a possibility, although bold, it could not be denied that this might be the most likely thing to happen after Emperor Yanzhen's sudden death.

Thinking of this, Sima Hongyan unconsciously jumped up from the ground, her head was covered with cold sweat, and she thought to herself: "Maybe it is precisely because of this reason that my father and Emperor Yanrong were killed back then, and I am afraid that I came to kill Emperor Yanzhen today, I am afraid it is still for the same purpose back then!" ”
