The emperor became interested and reached into his sleeves and took out a pocket watch hanging on a long silver chain. The watch was slender, delicate and had a unique appearance. No one present had ever seen it before.

What's this?

Qin Ye took it with both hands and walked to Zong Zhengshi:

"Look at what I have in my hand."

Zong Zhengshi shrank into his mother's arms and looked at the pocket watch curiously, with a gleam of exploration in his eyes.

What kind of novel toy is this?

She had never seen it.

Is it from another country?

Because of curiosity, she looked at it very seriously. As the pocket watch swung from side to side, her eyes also moved with it.

Turn and turn.

Turn and turn.

As I was turning, I felt a black vortex appear in front of me. My vision gradually became blurred, and my thoughts gradually became scattered. I felt like I was falling into a black hole, floating up, unable to see anything, and unable to remember anything.

Half asleep and half awake, a seductive voice sounded beside my ears:

"An hour ago, you ran into Princess Chen. Did she beat you?"

Who is speaking?

She was dazed, the world was spinning around her, and she subconsciously followed the voice.

Open your mouth slowly:

"You didn't hit me..."

"Did she meet you?"

"She didn't touch me..."

"Then why did she approach you?"

"Because I scolded her, she got angry, but she didn't hit me..."

A series of words came out of Zong Zhengshi's mouth, and everyone present was shocked.

The princess had insisted before that she had not lied, and that Princess Chen had beaten her!

Qin Ye shook his pocket watch and continued to ask in a calm voice: "What did you scold Princess Chen for? Why did you scold her?"

Zong Zhengshi's eyes were dazed, and he murmured:

"I called her...ugly, a bad woman, and I threw stones at her..."

The Crown Princess stared in astonishment. This, this, this...

Saying these words in front of the emperor, doesn't it prove that Zong Zhengshi lied and was naughty and hurtful?

The emperor doesn't like children who tell lies.

This is damaging to Princess Zong Zhengshi's reputation, and we can't continue to talk about it!

Qin Ye asked again: "Princess Chen didn't provoke you, why did you scold her?"

"Because, my mother said..."

"Shi'er!"

The Crown Princess suddenly hugged the child and pressed her head into her arms. Her face rubbed against the clothes, and the pain from the sting intensified, waking Zong Zhengshi suddenly.

Zong Zhengshi had no idea what was going on. Instead, he burst into tears because of the pain from the wound on his face.

The Crown Princess hugged the child tightly, took several breaths with a guilty conscience, and then raised her head to meet Qin Ye's half-smiley eyes, gritted her teeth secretly:

"Princess Chen, are you practicing some kind of witchcraft? Witchcraft is an evil thing from the Western Regions and is strictly prohibited in our country!"

Qin Ye smiled. Now that his deeds were exposed, he started to bite her back?

hehe.

She asked calmly:

"Princess, this pocket watch was lent to me by the Emperor. You can question me, but how can you question that something given by the Emperor is evil?"

"!!"

The Crown Princess was startled, and a huge pot cover came down, scaring her so much that she rolled her eyes:

"Father, I have absolutely no such intention! It's just... it's just... this magic is too strange. We have never heard of it or seen it before. I only said a few words for the safety of the country."

Everyone looked over with curiosity. To be honest, compared to the princess's affairs, they were more interested in what Princess Chen had in her hands.

Qin Ye raised his pocket watch and said with a faint smile:

"This is a method recorded in ancient books. It is the crystallization of our ancestors' wisdom over thousands of years. It is called hypnosis, and it is not some evil magic. Crown Princess, you should read more books when you have time."

Crown Princess: “…”
