"In that case, do you have any good ideas, sister-in-law?"
"Then let's do a DNA paternity test."
"Please explain again, sister-in-law."
"DNA paternity testing uses theories and techniques from forensic medicine, biology, and genetics to analyze genetic characteristics based on the similarities in morphology or physiological function between offspring and parents, and to determine whether there is a biological relationship between parents and children."
"To put it simply, when parents give birth to a child, every part of the child's body bears traces of the parents. By comparing these parts, it can be determined whether the child is their biological child."
"It's similar to how parents always tell their children, 'You have our blood in your body.'"
"Is this identification method convenient? Where can I get it done?"
“It can be done, but the result will only be that we know whether Yue Zhixiao is the late emperor’s son or not, and it cannot be used as evidence to convict Chen Jingshu of adultery.”
“The instruments I use are not available here, so the people will certainly not know the principles behind them. Even if we write down everything I just told you on a notice, the people still won’t understand.”
"At that time, I thought it was possible that this thing was just spreading rumors and misleading people, and it might even backfire."
“An’an is right. But if Yue Zhixiao is really Yan Shaoheng’s son, what does it matter if the evidence is true or false? It will only add another crime to Chen Jingshu and Yue Zhixiao’s list. As long as the emperor is not accused of being unfilial.”
It wouldn't be difficult for Yue Xiyuan to deal with someone, but he was worried that if Yue Zhixiao and Chen Jingshu suddenly disappeared, the people would have a lot of complaints about Yue Yufeng.
At that time, the other three countries will provoke and interfere, and the Moon Kingdom will be in chaos.
Gu Yanan clapped her hands. "That's right. Although we can deal with Yue Zhixiao now based on this evidence, it will inevitably cause gossip in Luoyang. Chen Jingshu can easily say that she didn't know what her son did and can live out her old age in the Prince Xiao's mansion. In that case, we won't be able to make Chen Jingshu receive the punishment she deserves for what she did to Yufeng and Xiyuan."
“But once we know that Yue Xiyuan is not the late emperor’s son, then the evidence is up to us. Besides, we didn’t frame them; that’s just the truth.”
Yue Yufeng felt ashamed, [the one, two, or three people around him were all so 'unconventional'.]
"What kind of look is that? If that old witch hadn't poisoned you, and if it weren't for your reputation, I would have slapped them both to death long ago."
"Then I'll thank you in advance, Nan'er."
"Leave this to me, but I need some things written by Yan Shaoheng, anything is fine, as long as it's in his handwriting."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanan's eyes widened, and she winked at Yan An, "An'an, did you bring this skill with you too?"
"Maybe, we'll see if we try."
"Wow, An'an, you're amazing! I love you so much! It's just a pity you weren't there when I was in school, otherwise I wouldn't have had to copy the book so many times as punishment."
So, I'm just your tool?
"No way, hehe."
“It is indeed difficult to find the things that Yan Shaoheng wrote, especially since there has been no news of him for many years. I have asked the Dark Pavilion to investigate.”
"Does your sister-in-law mean to imitate Yan Shaoheng's handwriting?"
"Yes, the existing evidence is not enough to prove the relationship between Yan Shaoheng and Chen Jingshu. Imitating Yan Shaoheng's handwriting is only a last resort. Of course, it would be better if we could find the letters between the two of them."
“You don’t know, An’an is an excellent handwriting imitation expert. When we were little, we went to school together. When I was punished to copy texts, An’an helped me copy most of them. Otherwise, my hand would have been ruined long ago.”
Yue Yufeng immediately realized that Gu Yanan was referring to the place where they lived.
"When you were here, my fourth brother and I helped you copy and write as punishment quite a bit."
"You have the nerve to say that? When An'an helped me, she knew to imitate my handwriting, but you and Xiyuan just wrote crookedly. In the end, the teacher said I wasn't serious and punished me even more. I even suspected that you two did it on purpose."
"I'm not taking the blame for this. Your handwriting is just like that. And tell me, did I help you or not?"
[...]
"Sister Ya Nan, it is indeed difficult to imitate your handwriting."
"Hey! You guys are ganging up on me, aren't you?"
"I didn't say that, I didn't say that." Yue Yufeng was afraid that Gu Yanan would be angry with him and kick him out of Kunning Palace, so he immediately distanced himself from the situation.
"Sister Ya Nan, don't be angry. Getting angry will cause wrinkles."
"Yes, don't get angry. I won't get angry when others do. Getting angry will only make you sick, and no one can take your place. If I die from anger, who will benefit? Besides, it's exhausting and stressful."
"Besides the letters, I also need some things from you and Yue Zhixiao, including blood, oral freckles, hair, saliva, placental tissue, etc. Just one of these will suffice."
"Now that Yue Zhixiao has been arrested, the willow branch and hair he used are the easiest things to obtain."
“These are not problems. I will have An Si go to the Prince Xiao’s residence to fetch some.”
"Okay, preferably the kind with hair follicles, the kind of hair that's pulled out from the root."
Yue Xiyuan ordered from outside the door, "An Si, go to the Xiao Wang Mansion. If Yue Zhixiao refuses, drug him and then take him."
After saying that, Yue Xiyuan tried to pluck several hairs from his own head and give them to Yan An.
Fortunately, Yan An stopped him in time. Looking at the many sticks in Yue Xiyuan's hand, there must have been at least a dozen.
"Thank goodness, it's saved! You can't do that again. Don't you know that your boyfriend's hair is shared property? He can't just do whatever he wants to your hair! Do you understand?"
"Okay, I promise I won't touch my hair again, okay?"
"That's more like it."
"Also, the reason why Yue Zhixiao's hair needs to be taken from his head is because the Xiaowang Mansion was sealed off that day, and all traces of Yue Zhixiao's daily life have been destroyed, but there are none in the Regent's Mansion. Have An Si go to your bed and look for any whole hairs."
Thankfully, I managed to preserve both of our dignity. Even if someone is handsome, going bald at such a young age wouldn't be enough.
Yan An suddenly thought of the male lead in "The Wandering Earth," shook her head, and said, "No, no, I can't accept him no matter how handsome he is."
"Then let's resolve this matter as it is. I will draft an edict shortly to pronounce judgment on Yue Zhixiao's crimes."
"Well then, your humble servant and An'an will take our leave now."
After the two left, Gu Yanan ground the ink, and Yue Yufeng picked up the brush and wrote an imperial edict.
[By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Yue Zhixiao and Chen Jingshu have committed heinous crimes, conspiring with Chen Yaozu, Liu Youlin, and other high-ranking officials to usurp the throne. Their crimes are unforgivable. However, considering their past acts of kindness, Chen Yaozu and Liu Youlin will be executed in the autumn. The other involved parties will be exiled to Guta and never released. Yue Zhixiao is also involved in several other cases, which will be investigated and dealt with separately. From this day forward, Yue Zhixiao and Chen Jingshu will be imprisoned in the Prince Xiao's residence and will not be allowed to visit each other. This is the imperial decree.]
