Chapter 217: Chapter 196: It Turns Out I Am the Cauldron (Extra 2-in-1)

The little fox originally thought Sister Weiyang was pitiful, even more pitiful than herself. Seeing the tender moment between them, she naturally didn’t feel jealous, nor did she feel like a third wheel.

And yet, she now seemed a bit unnecessary.

She just stood there dumbfounded, watching Chen Yi holding her distant cousin. The atmosphere between them was a little warm—she didn’t dare make a sound, lest she ruin the mood and end up having Chen Yi settle accounts with her later.

Yin Tingxue contemplated a thousand thoughts in her heart, standing there blankly, cradling her face in her hands without saying a word.

Sister Weiyang was injured right now, so she couldn’t say much either.

She turned her gaze slightly and saw Dong Gong Ruoshu rummaging around the scripture chamber for something before glancing at the female crown.

The little fox started to grow suspicious.

Speaking of which, why had Sister Weiyang shown up here?

Why did she have to enter the Buddha tower?

Yin Tingxue couldn’t make sense of it.

After the two of them shared a tender moment for quite some time, she saw Chen Yi gently holding Yin Weiyin as he stood up.

The female crown, on the other hand, slightly pushed Chen Yi away, trying to stand firmly on her own.

Yin Tingxue muttered to herself in her heart for a long time before finally speaking up hesitantly:

"Sister Weiyang, why did you enter the Buddha tower?"

The female crown seemed to snap out of her thoughts, looking a bit dazed when she heard the question,

"What other reason could there be..."

She turned her head and saw that it was Yin Tingxue asking, her eyes flickering slightly as she vaguely replied:

"Is it really necessary to explain why I entered the Buddha tower?"

There was no way she could reveal her true thoughts. After all, she was still lying here in his embrace.

She glanced at Chen Yi out of the corner of her eye. The man seemed unbothered, gently stroking her back, which eased some of the tension in her heart.

Besides, she was injured. As long as she didn’t clarify things or speak too much, she could muddle through this situation.

"But,"

The Princess of Xiang tilted her almond-shaped eyes, speaking softly:

"But if you hadn’t entered the Buddha tower, wouldn’t you not be injured?"

The Princess of Jing staggered, her foot slipping.

She fell back into Chen Yi’s arms, her soft chest colliding squarely against him.

Yin Weiyin didn’t have time to feel too embarrassed. She cautiously glanced at Chen Yi and found that scoundrel wearing a thoroughly pleased expression.

The female crown clung to him even more tightly. To divert his attention, she bit her lip and exhaled gently, saying:

"I can’t stand steadily..."

Chen Yi wasn’t sure if she truly couldn’t stand steadily, but he quite liked the way she "couldn’t."

So soft, and the size was just right. Her figure truly resembled that of a goddess.

Yin Tingxue watched the two clinging so closely together, the female crown displaying a demeanor of a delicate and dependent bird. Her gaze turned inexplicably strange:

"Sister Weiyang, are you really unable to stand properly?"

"Truly, you see... I have no strength."

"...You’re not faking it, are you?"

The female crown flinched slightly, not knowing how to respond, and could only offer an awkward smile.

Wait a minute...

The Princess of Jing had a sudden realization.

Wasn’t she the one injured? Why was this Princess of Xiang speaking to her in this tone? Shouldn’t she be the one putting on a weak and pitiful expression?

This didn’t feel right at all.

Yin Weiyin inexplicably grew a bit annoyed. She was clearly the one injured, yet this cousin of hers was relentlessly pursuing her with such sharp questions.

If the truth were to come to light, how would Chen Yi deal with her?

On the bed, that man always spoke so many lewd words. Even if she pretended to let them pass from one ear out the other, they still left marks on her heart.

Thinking of the filthy things he referenced in his lewd talk—the kinds of intercourse techniques that could make a woman too overwhelmed to even cry—Yin Weiyin gave an involuntary shiver.

"Tingxue, come help me for a moment,"

Yin Weiyin was desperate to change the subject, so she said this.

The little fox’s eyes widened slightly,

She was already being held by that scoundrel, so why still ask her to help?

She...

She was faking it!

Yin Weiyin noticed the little fox neither replying nor approaching, and just as she grew puzzled, she noticed the Princess of Xiang’s little ears twitching subtly.

The female crown suddenly thought of something,

Her cousin, who was also a royal member, had the Heavenly Ear Technique!

In a panic, she almost burrowed into Chen Yi’s embrace.

Chen Yi continued holding Yin Weiyin, entirely unaware of the subtle tension between the two women.

What’s more, he unexpectedly noticed the current Yin Weiyin was somewhat proactive. She was practically glued to him, her pretty nose brushing against his neck, her delicate cheeks faintly grazing his collarbone—let alone those soft curves.

Yin Tingxue frowned as she watched Chen Yi’s engrossed expression. When he held her, there always seemed to be so many thoughts in his mind. But now, holding Sister Weiyang, he was entirely focused. Why?

This kind of preferential treatment—why was it like this?

Weren’t they both princesses? Was it simply because she was shorter?

Sister Weiyang was already so tall, yet still clung so tightly. Shameful.

Yin Tingxue’s thoughts were all jumbled. In a daze, she recalled her childhood, when her mother used to embrace her older cousin with similar intimacy.

And that older cousin was none other than the Princess of Jing, Yin Weiyin.

At this moment, the female crown chuckled dryly and said:

"In a while, you two should go on ahead. I need to stay here to heal."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi frowned and said:

"No, what if something else happens to you? I can’t always be there in time."

Yin Tingxue watched this scene and seemed to recall something, softly saying:

"Exactly, and wasn’t it for my boyfriend that you entered the Buddha tower, Sister Weiyang?"

?

Why are you still asking...

Yin Weiyin felt a surge of irritation but still replied gently:

"Yes, that’s right. Tingxue, stay close to him, don’t follow my example, and don’t touch anything recklessly."

The underlying meaning being: don’t talk recklessly either.

The Princess of Xiang frowned slightly. She could sense it. Seeing Sister Weiyang’s somewhat frail and sickly appearance, it really didn’t feel right to continue questioning her.

It really didn’t feel right to press further...

By some poor stroke of timing, just then, Yin Weiyin turned her head toward Chen Yi and said softly:

"I... came here for you. Isn’t that obedient enough?"
