Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Ying Yufu roughly understood that Duan Linglong had probably awakened her memories of her previous life and was even more unwilling to be implicated by Cang Mingze, which was why she remembered Lin Shizi, whom she had disliked in her previous life.

She then realized how good Lin Shizi was, and went so far as to follow him, drug him, and sleep with him.

She would stop at nothing to get the young master of the Lin family, marry into the Lin State Duke's mansion, and live the good life she had in her previous life, repeating her past life.

She's quite the schemer.

Duan Linglong looked at Lin Shizi with eyes full of grievance, "How could you treat me like this? I'm so devoted to you, and you actually say I'm harming you?"

She simply couldn't accept that the man who had been so tolerant of her in her past life would treat her so heartlessly.

She knew Lin Ling's character all too well.

In his past life, he knew he had someone else in his heart, but out of a sense of responsibility, he repeatedly tolerated her. Although their relationship as husband and wife was not good, under his influence, they lived a respectful life together.

He didn't ask who the person in her heart was, and he also restricted her behavior.

He carefully educated his children, did not take concubines, was not lustful, and acted with composure and thoroughness. Even after the upheaval in Beixuan, the Lin State Duke's Mansion remained as peaceful as ever.

This laid the foundation for her good days to come.

He, on the other hand, was poisoned because of her impulsive act. Although he survived, he became estranged from her for the sake of the children and kept quiet about it.

He was clearly such a generous and tolerant person.

She only drugged him and got into his bed, so why is he so heartless towards her?

Just because she married someone else and became another concubine, does he look down on her so much?

No, he's not that kind of person.

She vaguely remembered that he could also treat suffering prostitutes with respect and courtesy.

"Why? Why?" Duan Linglong looked at Lin Shizi with great grievance.

Lin Shizi frowned. The way this concubine Duan looked at him made it seem as if he were a heartless man.

If this is misunderstood by someone with ulterior motives, wouldn't his reputation be ruined?

He was truly wronged.

He didn't know this woman at all.

"Your Highness, please understand that I am not familiar with this concubine, Duan, and do not understand why she would do such a thing. I beg Your Highness to do justice for me."

Lin Shizi turned around and bowed to the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince said, "Young Master Lin, there is no need to panic. I can vouch for you."

The Crown Prince looked at Duan Linglong and said in a deep voice, "Concubine Duan, you are the concubine of my second brother. Although he is a traitor, the laws of my Northern Xuan are not without benevolence. I could have treated you leniently, but you actually escaped from the mansion and committed such a serious crime, even drugging and plotting against important officials of my court. I cannot tolerate this."

After a pause, the Crown Prince said, "Considering you are a woman, I will spare your life and instead exile you three thousand miles away to reunite with your family."

The Duan family has been exiled and is now living a life worse than death in this scorching land. Letting Duan Linglong go on an exile is not as good as executing her.

Duan Linglong stood there, stunned. Her eyes widened. Why was she suddenly being exiled?

She slowly shook her head, then suddenly became agitated: "No, no, I don't want to be exiled, Prince Lin, please save me! Only you can save me! Just say the word!"

Lin Shizi frowned and stepped back. The effects of the medicine had not yet completely worn off, and he felt extremely uncomfortable, as if his entire body was burning.

Seeing his reaction, Duan Linglong became even more agitated: "You weren't like this in your past life. In your past life, you were tolerant and loving towards me, and you always thought of me. Just because my Duan family is gone in this life, do you look down on me too?"

Lin Shizi's eyes widened slightly, and he coughed a few times in anger. He said incredulously, "Concubine Duan, what are you talking about? What past life? When have I ever shown you any special affection? Don't tell me."

He thought that this concubine, Duan, was probably insane.

"Your Highness, even if you don't care about me, you must save me for the sake of our child. I don't want to be exiled."

"Since you are unwilling to marry me in this life, you can take me as a concubine. That way, our child can be born again. Sheng'er is outstanding; he is the most outstanding heir of the Lin State Duke's Mansion. Your Highness, you must believe me. For Sheng'er's sake, for the future of the Lin State Duke's Mansion, you must save me!"

Lin Shizi gasped, his face filled with horror. He said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, this woman may have gone mad."

The Crown Prince had already overheard what Xiao Dian and Ying Yufu said and knew the truth.

But he still nodded, saying seriously, "What Lin Shi said is very true. This woman is talking nonsense. She not only slandered Lin Shizi, but also caused trouble in Hongxiu Pavilion, using a feint attack. Take her away and exile her immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"No, no, no—"

Duan Linglong struggled desperately, but was still gagged and dragged away.

The people of Dongchen dared not say another word.

The place suddenly became much quieter.

"Young Master Lin, this was an oversight on the part of my Red Sleeve Pavilion. I have an antidote pill here. Take it and you will recover your health."

Ying Yufu bought an antidote pill from the system's shop and gave it to Lin Ling.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ling immediately clasped her hands in thanks, "Thank you, Princess Anguo. I won't stand on ceremony with you."

He took the antidote pill and was about to swallow it when Ying Yufu reminded him, "Young Master Lin, you need to go inside to take this medicine. I'll have someone bring you a few more buckets of water."

Lin Ling was puzzled, but she still obeyed.

Dong Chenren looked suspicious. What was Princess Anguo up to?

Just as Lin Shizi entered the private room to take the antidote, Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince's group also shook off Dong Chenren and went to meet up with Shangguan Fei.

This time, Dong Chenren didn't press the matter further. Instead, he returned to the private room and kept an eye on Lin Ling's movements.

About half an hour later, Lin Ling arrived at the private room where Ying Yufu was, feeling refreshed.

At this moment, he was completely transformed from before.

Not to mention that a dark scar on his face had disappeared, his originally extremely rough skin had become incredibly delicate and smooth.

The biggest change is in his physique; he is now more upright and his calm demeanor cannot conceal his extraordinary spirit.

Dong Chenren's gaze swept over, and his pupils immediately contracted.

"Your Highness, this..." Su Tu Yang's eyes widened, his expression filled with terror.

"This Princess Anguo truly possesses the power to transform people!"

It's probably true that it can grant immortality!
