Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Zhan Yan didn't say anything else and ordered his men to capture Shi Ziyan.

She shouted in panic, "Marquis Zhan Yi, why did you arrest me? Is it wrong for me to serve the emperor?"

Emperor Sheng An also spoke up: "Zhan Yan, what's going on? Explain it to me!"

Zhan Yan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, she lied to you. While you were asleep, she left the Imperial Study and ran to the Imperial Garden to play the zither!"

Shi Ziyan cried and shook her head: "I didn't do that. I have always been by the emperor's side. Why do you, Lord Zhan Yi, have to slander me with such open words?"

Zhan Yan pulled off her cloak and said, "How do you explain the fresh flower petals? You haven't been outside, so how did you get them?"

Shi Ziyan's face suddenly flashed with panic, and she forced herself to argue: "I just wanted to pick some flowers and put them in the vase for the emperor, I didn't play the zither!"

Zhan Yan grabbed her wrist and pried her fingers apart.

Thick calluses on the fingertips suddenly appeared before Emperor Sheng An. He said in a deep voice, "Your words may deceive people, but your hands cannot hide the traces of frequent piano practice. Who are you? What is your purpose in entering the palace?"

Shi Ziyan's originally delicate face suddenly flashed with murderous intent. She taunted, "Since you've exposed me, I'll just stop pretending. I'm a spy personally trained by the Manyi Princess. I used to be the top performer at the Xianglou, helping to gather information about the Sheng Dynasty. Now my mission is to avenge Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"You deserve to die!" Zhan Yan grabbed her neck with one hand.

She frowned in pain, but her tone was still arrogant.

She sneered, "Kill me if you dare. That way, Lin Yiwan will become a living dead. Not only will she never wake up, but even the emperor of your Sheng Dynasty won't live long!"

Emperor Sheng An looked at her angrily: "What did you do to me?"

Shi Ziyan replied contemptuously, "Do you really think it was my massage skills that put you into a deep sleep? You, like Lin Yiwan, are controlled by my Soul Separation Technique. If I die, you all die. If I live, you all live too!"

"You are so bold!" Emperor Sheng An was furious.

Shi Ziyan mocked and challenged, "Come on, you dog emperor! Kill me if you dare! Do you dare? Now that your most intelligent and capable wife, Lin Yiwan, is unconscious, do you and your son still have any chance of survival?"

Emperor Sheng An's face was pale and blue, he clenched his fists tightly, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.

Finally, Zhan Yan spoke up: "Your Majesty, she is right. For Wanwan and you, we cannot kill her!"

Emperor Sheng An gnashed his teeth and said, "So we have to accept her threats?"

Zhan Yan said, "See what she wants?"

Shi Ziyan spoke without hesitation: "What I want is very simple. All I need is Marquis Zhan Yi's life in exchange for mine. Let me bury your body with my princess. I will make your wife wake up immediately, and as for the emperor, he will no longer be troubled by the soul-leaving syndrome!"

Zhan Yan frowned: "Cheng Zhenzhen? She has already been thrown into the corpse melting furnace by me. Where is her body?"

Shi Ziyan was immediately furious. She gnashed her teeth and roared, "Even if there's no body left, I'll take you back to ask our barbarian emperor for her tablet and be buried with her!"

Emperor Sheng An said anxiously, "Zhan Yan, don't agree to her. She is a lunatic. With Old Doctor Lin here, I don't believe that this soul separation syndrome is really incurable!"

Shi Ziyan said disdainfully, "If he could cure it, wouldn't he have sobered Lin Yiwan long ago? He only guessed that the cause of the soul-separation syndrome was the manipulation of the piano sound. After all, Zhan Yan's life is still mine!"

A fierce struggle flashed across Zhan Yan's face. After a moment, he said coldly, "Okay, I'll keep my life for you. Come, lock her up in the dungeon first!"

Yinghun and Yingyi came in and dragged Shi Ziyan away.

Emperor Sheng An looked at Zhan Yan anxiously, "Did you really agree to her agreement? If you go to the barbarians with her, even if Wanwan wakes up, she will be very sad!"

Zhan Yan understood this logic, but he just wanted her to be well!

This is a painful choice. Now I can only place my hopes on my grandfather.

Zhan Yan brought the ancient zither used by Shi Ziyan to Old Doctor Lin and said in a deep voice, "Grandfather, she refuses to hand over the method to crack it, so I have to ask you to develop it!"

Old Doctor Lin quickly found a few women who were proficient in music, but the music they played did not elicit any reaction from Li Delu at all.

He murmured in frustration, "Could it be that the solution isn't on the piano anymore?"

Lin Ran's face turned livid with anger. He picked up the guqin and said, "This broken guqin, I wish I could smash it to pieces!"

With a loud bang, the guqin spilled the tea, and in an instant all the strings were soaked in the tea.

Doctor Lin was extremely anxious: "How could you be so reckless? If the guqin is the key and you destroy it, what will happen to Wanwan?"

Zhan Yan said with a complicated expression, "It's not just Wanwan. The Emperor is also controlled by the sound of the zither. He's now awake all night. Once he falls into a deep sleep, he will never wake up again!"

Old Doctor Lin was immediately shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. If he couldn't find a solution, the entire Sheng Dynasty would fall into chaos.

He said anxiously: "I want to study this guqin again!"

He took a silk handkerchief to wipe the strings, but found that after wiping, they were stained black.

He put it to his nose and smelled it, then subconsciously frowned.

Lin Ran asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Could it be that the strings are poisonous?"

Doctor Lin shook his head: "The strings are not poisonous, they are stained with blood!"

Zhan Yan suddenly remembered that there were bloodstains of varying depths on Shi Ziyan's fingertips. Could this be the key to the spell?

Without any hesitation, he immediately ran towards the dungeon with the guqin in his arms.

Old Doctor Lin was worried and quickly chased after him.

At this moment, Shi Ziyan saw Zhan Yan coming back and couldn't help but ask, "Has Marquis Zhan Yi decided to follow me back to the barbarians to apologize?"

Zhan Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at her and said, "I have guessed the method to break the soul separation syndrome. You are right. This harp alone will not be of any use!"

Shi Ziyan widened her eyes in disbelief and watched him approach step by step.

She asked in panic, "What are you going to do? If you dare to kill me, Sheng Dynasty will be completely destroyed!"

Zhan Yan sneered, "How could I kill you? I still want to use your blood to play a perfect song on this harp!"

Shi Ziyan hurriedly put her hands behind her back and said, "I can't play it, go away!"

Zhan Yan grabbed her wrists and pressed her fingers hard on the strings.

Boom, boom, boom, the dull music sounded instantly.

Blood splattered and the music became more and more urgent.

Doctor Lin didn't think anything was wrong, but Prince Li, who was guarding Lin Yiwan, noticed that her hands and feet began to move.
