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

[Purchase the Illusionary Realm!]

Even if it's not a real venomous snake, an illusion will do.

Instantly, the system notified me that my points balance had decreased by ten points, and a notification sounded indicating that the purchase of the Illusionary Realm had been successful!

Ying Yufu projected the illusion onto Old Liu.

Old Liu suddenly trembled.

She opened her eyes groggily. She clearly remembered that she was just at the Empress's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. How did she end up in a mountain forest in the blink of an eye?

Suddenly, she heard a series of mocking laughs.

"This is the kid. He's Zhi'er's fiancé? I heard he's a child prodigy?"

"Looking like a pretty boy, he's probably not even as strong as a chicken."

"Look at him, his face is all pale with fright!"

"Hahaha, let him go down and keep company with the poisonous snakes, and toughen him up!"

Someone suddenly shoved her in the back as soon as they finished speaking.

Old Liu let out a piercing scream, and her body was pushed into a deep pit not far away.

The deep pit was teeming with all sorts of venomous snakes.

The snakes were of all sizes and colors, and they were all icy cold as they crawled onto her body.

During the banquet, everyone was suddenly startled by Old Liu's scream.

Old Liu's face was deathly pale, her head covered in cold sweat, and she curled up into a ball.

"Grandmother, what's wrong?" Ying Hengzhi asked worriedly, glancing at the Empress for fear of displeasing her.

"Mother, wake up! What's wrong with you?" Liu Xueyan asked anxiously.

Ying Yufu smiled and stared at the other side with pleasure.

"Fu'er, what is this?" Shangguan Tang had a vague premonition that Old Lady Liu's condition was probably related to Fu'er.

Upon seeing Ying Yufu's expression again, she immediately felt that it was most likely Fu'er who did it.

Although I don't know how she did it, seeing Old Lady Liu's current pained expression is extremely satisfying.

The Crown Prince glanced at Old Lady Liu, then at Ying Yufu, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

"What's wrong with her? Is she having a hysterical episode in broad daylight?" the prince asked.

Ying Yufu tried hard to suppress her smile and said, "I guess I'm getting my comeuppance for doing too many bad things!"

In the illusion.

"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! Help! Help me get up here! Ahhhhh!"

"Hahaha, look at her pathetic state, so pitiful, hahaha!"

"Ahhh! Someone help me! Help! Get off me, everyone! Get off me!"

"Snakes! Lots of snakes! Ahhhhh!"

In reality, Old Liu was gesticulating wildly and shouting, making a commotion that drew everyone's attention.

The Empress said, "Is Madam Ying feeling unwell? Someone, quickly fetch the imperial physician!"

Several palace maids and eunuchs have already gone to pull Old Lady Liu away.

However, Old Lady Liu's strength at this moment was astonishing. She actually shoved aside the palace maids and eunuchs, displaying a level of agility completely inconsistent with her old arms and legs.

She leaped onto the table like a monkey.

The drinks, snacks, and fresh chrysanthemums were trampled into mud.

She crouched on the table, her eyes bulging with terror, waving her hands frantically, screaming hysterically, "Get away! There are snakes! So many snakes! Help!"

In the illusion, the Cheng family brought in new bamboo baskets. They opened the lids of the baskets and dumped all the newly caught poisonous snakes into the pit.

In an instant, Old Liu was overwhelmed by even more venomous snakes.

"Hehehe, this is so funny, big brothers, look at her! Hahaha—"

Cheng Zhier laughed so hard she bent over.

Old Liu's struggles were becoming increasingly weak.

In reality, Old Liu gradually slumped onto the table, her eyes bulging, foaming at the mouth, and her limbs twitching...

The Empress's expression gradually stiffened. The imperial physician rushed over, but the Empress was so focused on that she didn't even notice Duan Linglong's increasingly strange behavior beside her.

Her eyes gradually turned red.

"Grandmother, sob sob sob..." Ying Hengzhi was terrified. She cried and looked at the Second Prince pitifully.

It seemed as if the second prince was more capable of saving her grandmother than the imperial physician.

The Second Prince was heartbroken; Zhi'er's face was deathly pale, clearly she was terrified.

Unlike Fu'er...

He subconsciously looked at Ying Yufu, only to see her covering her face, burying her head in Shangguan Tang's arms, her shoulders trembling.

Sigh, Fu'er was so scared she cried. Well, she's timid too, and she didn't even dare to look in this direction.

Very well, since Fu'er has Shangguan Tang to comfort her, he will comfort Zhi'er first.

After all, the person he cared about more was Zhi'er.

Just then, a brute force suddenly rushed towards them.

"You bitch, get out of my way!"

Duan Linglong pounced on Ying Hengzhi and pulled her out of the Second Prince's arms.

Then, with a "smack," a hand slapped Ying Hengzhi across the face.

Ying Hengzhi was completely stunned by the blow.

"You bitch, what right do you have to covet Brother Mingze? Brother Mingze is mine!"

Duan Linglong stared at Ying Hengzhi with hatred.

Ying Hengzhi: …………

She stared blankly and bewildered at Duan Linglong in front of her.

Duan Linglong sneered: "Don't think I don't know that you seduced Brother Mingze behind that little bitch Ying Yufu's back."

"Neither of you sisters is any good; you're both trying to steal Mingze from me."

As Duan Linglong spoke, she burst into tears, feeling wronged.

The second prince's face was ashen. He stepped forward with heartache and held Ying Hengzhi in his arms.

He glared angrily at Duan Linglong and snapped, "Cousin Linglong, have you gone mad?!"

"Yes, I'm crazy. I love you so much it's killing me. I wish I were crazy!"

"Brother Mingze, why don't you love me? Do you mind that I'm engaged to Shangguan Hong?"

Brother Mingze, I don't like Shangguan Hong at all. I hate him. Because of him, I can't be with Brother Mingze.

Brother Mingze, I hate you so much.

Why can everyone else be with you, but I can't?

"Brother Mingze, I want to marry you. I want to be your Second Prince's Consort. No, I don't even crave the position of Second Prince's Consort. I'm willing to be your concubine!"

Oh dear!

Ying Yufu had already lifted her head from Shangguan Tang's embrace and was staring at the other side with great interest.

The crown prince's eyes lit up, his face full of amusement and a desire to see more fun.

Although Shangguan Hong also wanted to watch the excitement, he had to try his best to look angry, and for a moment his facial expression was very strange.

The second prince stared at Duan Linglong in disbelief.

Has Duan Linglong really gone mad?

"Linglong, what are you doing?" Madam Duan rushed forward in a panic to stop her daughter.

Duan Linglong pushed her mother away, saying, "Don't worry about me, I want to belong to Mingze!"

"Brother Mingze, please take me now. I'm willing to be your concubine, Brother Mingze..."

As Duan Linglong spoke, she impatiently untied her belt, took off her outer garment, and then continued to take off her inner garment.

She shyly rushed towards the Second Prince.

The second prince's expression changed drastically, and he pulled Ying Hengzhi back with him.

Duan Linglong chased after her, pleading tearfully, "Brother Mingze, can't you bear to part with this bitch? If you can't bear to part with her, I don't mind the three of us together!"

Everyone: …………!!

Oh dear!

Empress: …………
