Doctor Lin asked in a low voice: "Li Delu, think carefully, has there ever been a woman playing the zither around you?"

Li Delu shook his head vigorously: "No, the emperor has been very busy with official duties recently. How can he have time to listen to the zither?"

Old Mrs. Lin could not hide her disappointment on her face, and the investigation had reached a deadlock again.

But Li Delu was the only person who had contact with him, and there must be some suspicious points about him that he had not found.

Li Delu couldn't bear to see him so distressed, so he subconsciously poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him: "Mr. Lin, drink some tea first to calm your mind!"

Old Doctor Lin picked up the bowl of water and put it to his mouth. In a flash, he suddenly thought of a good way to lure out the person playing the piano.

Because he had seen before that if the soul separation syndrome was severe, the person would become unconscious and go crazy.

In order to prevent him from losing control, the person in the dark will definitely play the piano to control him again. At that time, Zhan Yan can search for the person playing the piano in the palace.

Thinking of this, he said, "Li Delu, I really need your help!"

Soon, the news of Li Delu's sudden madness spread throughout the palace.

He beat up the old doctor Lin who came to visit him, and even shouted that there was a beautiful fairy in the Wisteria Garden who could play the piano, and her music could make him sleep soundly until dawn.

Everyone was speculating about the fairy in the Wisteria Garden, and Emperor Sheng An even sent people to guard the palace day and night.

However, for several days in a row, there was no gain at all.

Instead, Li Delu became even crazier. He said that the fairy wanted revenge and was vicious and wanted to destroy the entire harem.

Emperor Sheng An was furious and ordered his men to seal his mouth overnight so that he could not utter a single word.

Until one morning, the originally noisy Li Delu suddenly became listless.

As soon as Doctor Lin heard the news, he rushed to his side and confirmed that his pulse was weak, which was a sign of him falling into a coma.

He quickly found Zhan Yan and instructed him, "Go and search all the palaces in the harem. If anyone is playing the zither, stop them immediately and bring them to Li Delu!"

"Okay!" Zhan Yan quickly led his men away.

He was eager to catch the caster at this time because Lin Yiwan had been in a coma for seven days.

Even when the children brought them to her and surrounded her, calling her "Mom", she didn't respond at all.

His heart is broken!

He took care of the person day and night for several days, and was determined to tear the person who was secretly doing the evil into pieces.

He took Yinghun and Yingyi to search for about half an hour, but still could not find the person playing the piano.

Looking at his anxious face, Yinghun couldn't help but ask, "Master, could it be that Elder Lin guessed wrong? The sound of the piano isn't the trigger for the Soul-Separation Syndrome?"

Zhan Yan clenched his fists tightly. Now his grandfather was his lifeline.

He believed in his guess without reservation!

He quickly ordered, "Search again, even if you have to search every corner of the palace, you must find her!"

"Yes!" The two of them took their people away.

Zhan Yan turned his head and looked around, frowning as he wondered if there was any corner he hadn't found.

At this time, in Emperor Sheng'an's study, Shi Ziyan cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, on the way here, I saw many imperial guards searching the palace. What are they looking for?"

Emperor Sheng An frowned and glanced at her: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Didn't I tell you to go and recuperate? Why are you here to serve me again?"

Shi Ziyan argued aggrievedly: "I thought that since Eunuch Li was not by the emperor's side, I wanted to share your worries. It seems that I was being sentimental. I will take my leave now!"

For some reason, Emperor Sheng An felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart when he saw her tearful and weak appearance.

He spoke subconsciously: "Since you are here, I am reviewing the memorials, so just stand by and grind your ink!"

Shi Ziyan said tentatively, "Your Majesty, I see you look quite tired. Have you not slept well recently?"

Emperor Sheng An sighed helplessly, it would be strange if he could sleep well.

Lin Yiwan was in a coma, the queen was also unwell, not to mention his youngest son who was still struggling on the verge of death. He was troubled and felt physically and mentally exhausted.

He said obscurely: "Sleeping is a luxury for me now!"

Shi Ziyan immediately mustered up the courage to snatch the memorial from his hand: "Your Majesty, no matter how many worries you have, you must ultimately take care of your health. You are the ruler of a country. If you become ill from exhaustion, who will support the world?"

Emperor Sheng An was originally angry at her for being so presumptuous, but when he heard her words, his anger immediately dissipated.

He said calmly: "It's okay, I can still hold on!"

Shi Ziyan's eyes immediately turned red, and she said worriedly, "Your Majesty, I'm worried about you. Can you sleep for a while?"

Emperor Sheng An's eyes flashed with intense struggle, and after a moment he nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you and sleep for a while!"

After he finished speaking, he asked again in confusion: "Didn't your hand get burned? How can you still give me a massage?"

She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "My hand has healed a long time ago. The burn medicine in the palace is very effective!"

Her fingers suddenly fell on Emperor Sheng An's head, and he fell into a drowsy sleep in a moment.

After he fell asleep, Shi Ziyan quietly walked out.

Soon Zhan Yan received the news that someone heard the sound of a piano in the pavilion in the imperial garden.

He hurried over and saw a figure flash by, and the direction she disappeared was the imperial study in the palace.

He quickly chased after him with his zither in hand, and happened to see Emperor Sheng An waking up in a daze in the imperial study.

He asked doubtfully, "Zhan Yan, have you caught the thug who plays the zither?"

Shi Ziyan quickly bowed politely: "This servant pays homage to Marquis Zhan Yi!"

Zhan Yan did not answer Emperor Sheng An's question. Instead, he stared at Shi Ziyan with burning eyes: "Have you always been by the emperor's side?"

She nodded in astonishment: "Yes, I don't know why Marquis Zhan Yi would ask this of me!"

Zhan Yan said, "Just now, I saw the person playing the zither running towards this side of the Imperial Garden, so I suspected that she was hiding in the Imperial Study!"

Emperor Sheng An couldn't help but say, "Zhan Yan, you don't think I would harbor a murderer, do you? You've really disappointed me. Wanwan is also my sister. She's in a coma, and I'm just as worried about her as you are!"

Zhan Yan argued hoarsely: "Your Majesty, I have never doubted you, but the murderer is cunning and I must catch her!"

Emperor Sheng An spread his hands and said, "Alright, you can search the huge imperial study room at will. Apart from me and Zi Yan, there is no one else here!"

Zhan Yan searched the imperial study carefully and suddenly his eyes fell on Shi Ziyan.

The cloak she was wearing was stained with a petal with a few dewdrops on it, obviously she had just run back from outside.

He calmly asked, "Your Majesty, has this Miss Shi been staying with you in the Imperial Study?"

Emperor Sheng An nodded: "Yes, her massage skills are superb. When I asked her to massage my head, I took a nap!"
