"What? Brother Qinshi is sick? Oh! Brother Big Prince, why didn't you tell Shuangbao earlier!"
Little Shuangbao slapped his forehead and said in frustration, "Shuangbao didn't even know that."
Speaking of this, the eldest prince became angry again.
"Tell you? Humph, you've been on such a good terms with Concubine Wang lately. She was even banished to the cold palace, and you helped her come back to life. Why should I bother you?"
The eldest prince always had resentment towards Concubine Wang.
He could not forget that in his previous life, his mother died so early, and it was all due to Concubine Wang.
Little Shuangbao also knows this.
"Shuangbao knows that the Queen Mother and Concubine Wang had a bad relationship in the past. However, Concubine Wang said that apart from sending people to anger the Queen Mother, she has never done anything bad. The ghost who wanted to take over the Queen Mother's body was not sent by Concubine Wang to harm people."
Xiao Shuangbao explained at this time.
"Did you listen to her? Everyone in the palace knows that she wants to be the queen? If she wasn't the evil ghost, who else could it be?"
The eldest prince didn't believe it.
His prejudice against Concubine Wang was too deep to be reversed.
"That evil ghost..."
The face of Concubine Luo flashed through Xiao Shuangbao's mind.
She shook her head. "It's hard to say. I can't tell you. Anyway, it's not Concubine Wang. Oh, brother, now is not the time to talk about this. The most urgent thing is to save Brother Qinshi! Shuangbao must go now!"
Upon hearing this, the eldest prince thought of Xiao Shuangbao's abilities and finally decided to put aside his personal grudges and save his good friend.
So he nodded, and while instructing the people around him to ask the Queen for some charcoal to be sent over later, he took Shuangbao's little hand and went to Zhongli Yu's residence.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xiao Shuangbao immediately felt a special and different kind of coldness.
"Why does Shuangbao feel that the courtyard where Brother Qinshi lives is particularly cold compared to other places?"
She was wearing a thick cotton jacket, but she was shivering with cold.
“It seems to be true.”
The eldest prince also felt it when he heard it.
Little Shuangbao noticed something was wrong.
She looked up and around, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a blue cover covering the top of the courtyard.
Even if it was her, it would be difficult to detect this hood unless she looked carefully.
"The breath of a monster."
At this time, Qin Cheng suddenly showed up on his own initiative.
This time he did not sit in the air, but stood aside, looking up at the blue cover above his head.
"Monster?"
Little Shuangbao felt a little strange when listening to it.
From childhood to adulthood, she has seen ghosts and monsters, but she has never seen a monster!
"That's right, it's the Ice Demon. It's set up a barrier here. It seems your brother, the zither master, has become its chosen prey. It's waiting to freeze him to death and then devour his body to enhance its own magic power. Judging from the barrier it's set up, it's likely it's already devoured several people. You can ask Chen Cao to investigate later and find out who in the palace was frozen to death."
Qin Cheng explained.
"What should we do? Can this cover be broken?"
When Xiao Shuangbao heard this, he immediately asked anxiously.
"Yes, but we must catch this ice demon first. But it is very cunning and I'm afraid it won't show up easily." Qin Cheng said.
"Well, what if we take the musician brother away and don't let him live here? Is that okay?" Xiao Shuangbao asked again.
"It's useless. This cover is a mark of your brother, the musician, by the Ice Demon. No matter where he moves to, the cover will follow him." Qin Cheng said.
"Damn it, this ice demon! Frost Treasure must catch it!"
Little Shuangbao frowned.
"Let's go in and take a look first." Qin Cheng said, and his figure disappeared first, but he had already entered the house.
On the side, the eldest prince and little Shuangbao were holding hands.
So, he could see Qin Cheng and hear their conversation, and at this moment he was both scared and worried.
Xiao Shuangbao pulled him and followed him into the room.
The temperature in the room was actually colder than outside.
The closer you get to Zhongli Yu's bedroom, the lower the temperature becomes.
Xiao Shuangbao walked to the bedside and saw that Zhong Liyu's little face was burning red and he was unconscious.
And there was a faint breath of death on him.
Seeing this, Xiao Shuangbao didn't know why, but she suddenly felt an indescribable severe pain in her heart, and her tears kept falling like beads with broken strings.
"Brother Qinshi..."
Xiao Shuangbao held Zhong Liyu's hand and looked at him sadly.
"Brother Zushi, please find a way to save Brother Qinshi! Shuangbao doesn't want him to die..."
Xiao Shuangbao raised his head and looked at Qin Cheng beside him.
Qin Cheng held his chin with one hand, looking deep in thought.
"There's only one way to catch the Ice Demon, and that's to trick it into thinking Zhong Liyu is dead. When it comes to devour Zhong Liyu's body, that's when we'll capture it. But the problem is how to fake Zhong Liyu's death."
Qin Cheng said, looking at Xiao Shuangbao, "Only you can do this."
"Ah? Frost Treasure can do it? Then what should Frost Treasure do?"
There were still tears in the corners of Xiao Shuangbao's eyes, which almost froze into ice immediately. She didn't care about that and asked hurriedly.
"The symptom of death is naturally the soul leaving the body. As long as you draw out Zhong Liyu's soul first, Zhong Liyu will pretend to be dead within a short period of time. Then wait for the Ice Demon to appear, and then send his soul back to his body. That's it."
