Xiao Xian stared at Qu Li with burning eyes.
He had seen her dressed as an ordinary person before, but now she was standing in the court with high spirits. Although she was thin, her back was very straight, making it impossible for people not to notice her.
His thoughts were racing, and he suddenly recalled the scenes he had spent with Qu Li.
Regret once again filled his heart, like waves hitting the rocks, and a broken heart was almost crushed into slag.
Noticing his gaze, Qu Li looked at him calmly.
Times have changed. The person she didn't care about at the beginning naturally can no longer concern her.
Xiao Xian's heart felt like it was soaked in coptis water. He should have looked away, but he couldn't control his eyes.
Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Emperor Kang said to Qu Li, "Since everything is ready, let's get started."
"yes."
These ancient people were very superstitious, and they would attribute any inexplicable things to the supernatural.
Fortunately, the DNA testing equipment is very compact, and she had someone make a small box overnight that could just hold the equipment.
As for the problem of the test report, she could rely on the space and change it into text that everyone in the world could understand in the blink of an eye.
Before Qu Li was about to start the test, Emperor Kang suddenly spoke and asked everyone to move to the palace gate.
The palace gate has always been solemn and dignified, and no one dares to stop here.
All the court officials, as well as Emperor Kang, Xiao Xian and others appeared at the palace gate together. The people passing by were particularly curious and stared at this place secretly.
"What big thing happened? Why are the emperor, Prince Chen, and so many court officials appearing at the palace gate?"
"Perhaps it has something to do with the rumors about Prince Chen that were circulating in the capital before?"
"Eh? Who's that person standing next to the emperor?"
…
When the sharp-eyed people saw Qu Li, their eyes were full of gossip.
Eunuch Fu cleared his throat and said loudly, "There have been a lot of rumors about Prince Chen in the capital recently, and they have caused a lot of uproar. The emperor has long wanted to explain it publicly."
Upon hearing this, the braver people rushed forward.
The rest of the people also bravely moved forward. Word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Soon, the palace gate was crowded with people.
"The emperor has invited an expert who can prove that the emperor and Prince Chen are real father and son!" Eunuch Fu added with a solemn look, without any intention of joking.
"Could it be a blood test?"
Eunuch Fu's gaze fell on the face of the commoner who spoke. "Yes, it is a blood test, but this blood test is not an ordinary blood test. Let Master Lu explain it to everyone!"
Qu Li's clear eyes swept across the curious faces of the people, and he said slowly, "Ordinary blood tests will have some errors, more or less! But the blood test method my master taught me has no problems at all. To be precise, the results can achieve zero error."
"How is this possible?" Some people objected in disbelief.
"If you don't believe me, you can come up and do an experiment." Qu Li raised her chin slightly. Although her eyes were not sharp, the person who spoke felt his breathing tighten, and the blood color on his face also disappeared completely because of the strong pressure emanating from her body.
"Is there anyone else who has doubts?" Qu Li walked slowly towards the people.
Seeing that Emperor Kangdi remained silent, it seemed that he supported what she was doing, so the common people volunteered: "I don't believe it."
Qu Li randomly picked a few people and took their blood samples.
According to the old method of testing paternity by dropping blood, a bowl of water is filled with blood. If there is a relationship, the blood will mix; if there is no blood, it will be rejected.
In fact, this method is completely nonsense.
Any blood, if left long enough, will eventually fuse together. There is no scientific basis at all for using this method to test paternity through blood testing.
She pricked the fingers of several people with a silver needle and dripped the blood into a bowl filled with water one by one.
A few drops of blood slowly spread out in the white bowl and eventually merged together.
"Everyone, did you see clearly? These people were randomly selected and have no blood relationship, but in the end, everyone's blood merged."
All the onlookers, the court officials, and even Emperor Kang who was sitting on the dragon throne, were so shocked that their pupils trembled slightly.
Qu Li took out a pocket DNA tester in a wooden box.
"This box was left to me by my master. It's said to be a treasure. Just place your blood at this entrance and the results will be quickly tested."
After the blood test, the people obviously had no hope for this, even though they were curious deep down.
Qu Li didn't care what these people were thinking. She did so much for one fundamental purpose, which was to make everyone trust the results of the DNA tester.
As the saying goes, "three people make a tiger, and popular opinion can melt gold." As long as these people believe it, word will spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon the people of the entire capital will know that Xiao Xian is Emperor Kang's biological son.
"Is there really such a weird thing?"
"Why am I so distrustful of these things?"
The people began to talk again, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.
Xiao Xian's jaw was tense the whole time. He was obviously the key figure in this matter, but he looked indifferent and didn't seem to care about the outcome.
"Then give it a try! There's nothing to lose by trying anyway."
Some people are already eager to try it.
In the end, Qu Li randomly selected a few people.
Qu Li took blood samples from these selected people one by one, and soon the instrument produced the identification results.
She took a look and used her mind to take out the test reports with long text that she had prepared in advance.
"The identification results showed that none of these people were related."
As Qu Li finished speaking, the looks these people gave her suddenly became sarcastic, as if they were looking at a charlatan.
"Mr. Lu, you just said that none of us are related, right?" asked a middle-aged man in a green cotton coat.
"Yes, this instrument has never made any mistakes."
"You probably don't know, but my son and I are here!" said the middle-aged man.
These words were like dropping a drop of water into a frying pan, causing it to explode with a crackling sound.
"I don't know where this liar came from, but he even dared to deceive the current emperor! Isn't he afraid of getting his head chopped off?"
"He looks like a decent guy, who would have thought he was actually a liar!"
"Let's see what the emperor says later! I thought he was really capable, but who would have thought he was actually a liar!"
…
