After dealing with Princess Yuening's matter, Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu went to the Prime Minister's residence again.
The matter that was delayed last time should finally be resolved.
After this period of time, Dapu and Yuan Hong already knew that Lu Junyuan and his group were looking for the young prince of Xiaoyue Kingdom.
When Dapp learned that he might be the young prince, he was momentarily stunned.
He had always lived a life of being disliked and beaten at the drop of a hat. Suddenly, someone told him that he might be the young prince of Xiaoyue Kingdom. Such a change made him feel like he was dreaming.
But after learning that his sister was actually Princess Xiyue of Xiaoyue Kingdom, Dapu's heart was no longer in turmoil. As long as he could be with his sister, nothing else mattered to him.
Faced with the dagger offered to him again, Dap did not hesitate and cut his wrist, letting the blood flow onto the red pearl.
One drop, two drops, three drops...
The bead suddenly lit up for a moment, then returned to its red color and did not change again.
Lu Hong and Lu Junyuan were excited when they saw the bead light up, but it was strange that the bead only lit up for a moment and then turned back to red.
"That's not right. The book says that when royal blood drips onto the bead, it will make the entire bead emit golden light and turn into a golden bead. It will only slowly turn back to red after twenty-four hours."
Lu Hong was somewhat doubtful, as this was a collection of royal secrets that he had personally witnessed being written, and it couldn't possibly be fake.
"Father, could it be that the secrets in the book are exaggerated? Maybe it just flashes for a moment?" Lu Junyuan said.
Lu Hong shook his head. "No, the Red Jade Pearl was made by the Great Ancestor using the blood of a master he found by chance, in order to test the bloodline of the royal family."
The "Secret Records" contain an example: during the reign of Emperor Taizu, a young prince went missing. After he was found, he was examined with a red jade bead, which indeed turned golden and remained so for a long time.
"Prime Minister Lu, can this bead only be used to test men, and not women?" Su Ruojin asked.
“I’ve never heard of that. I only know that the red pearl can verify royal bloodlines, and I’ve never heard of a princess getting lost in any dynasty,” Lu Hong said.
Su Ruojin knew that there were many things in this dynasty that she could not explain, but since it was a bloodline test, it should be made with fresh blood, so the bead would be red.
The reason why the bead can detect royal bloodlines, if we have to explain it using later scientific methods, is most likely that a master used some special method to leave the DNA imprint of the Great Ancestor of Xiaoyue in the bead.
Subsequent descendants who are of Ji family blood will inherit the DNA information of the Great Ancestor Xiaoyue, and the DNA will glow when the match is found.
If this is the principle, then Aya, as a royal princess, should also have blood that turns the beads golden.
Thinking of this, in order to verify her idea, Su Ruojin looked at Aya and said, "Aya, you try it. Don't cut your wrists, just cut your fingers."
Dap acted too quickly; she didn't have time to stop him. Why cut your wrist just to get a blood test?
"good."
Aya listened to Su Ruojin's words and cut her finger without saying a word, and blood dripped down.
One drop, two drops, three drops...
When Aya's first drop of blood fell onto the red bead, the bead flashed as before, and then returned to its red color.
But as more and more of Aya's blood dripped onto the bead, Yuan Hong exclaimed, "Look, the bead has changed color!"
Everyone saw that the bottom of the red jade bead slowly turned gold.
As more and more drops of blood fell onto the bead, the gold color began to spread towards the top of the bead, eventually turning it into a golden bead.
Lu Hong was stunned, unable to understand what was going on.
The red pearl turning from red to gold proves that Aya is indeed of the Ji family bloodline and was once Princess Xiyue.
But why does the blood drop on the bead react so strangely?
Generally speaking, if the bead doesn't change color at all, it means they've mistaken someone for someone else; Dap isn't the little prince they're looking for.
But why did the bead light up again?
Bloodline is definitely a black-and-white issue; it's either yes or no, there's no middle ground.
Su Ruojin voiced her thoughts, "Could it be that Dapu is from a collateral branch?"
