Liao Ning moved swiftly, fully aware that time was of the essence.

“We should start by drying the water-drained petals,” she suggested.

Realizing that not everyone had specialized drying boxes for food, she proposed using clothes dryers initially, as long as the petals were adequately dehydrated.

In the Empire, where the air humidity remained high, almost every household owned a dryer. While primarily used for clothes, it also had the additional functions of sterilization and disinfection, making it suitable for emergencies like this.

Carefully arranging the petals in the dryer, Liao Ning explained, “Given the circumstances, we’ll use the clothes dryer for now. In the future, when making nectar, you can simply dry the petals directly, ensuring they are completely moisture-free.”

Thanks to the improvements made by the royal family to the dryer, the petals were swiftly dried.

“Once dried, the petals become incredibly crisp and fragile, breaking easily upon touch,” Liao Ning informed.

She instructed the team to lay the petals out, sprinkling a layer of white sugar on each. Wearing disposable gloves, they began to crush and grind the petals. “Keep In milld tnat tne taste ot tne petals nugnt be somewnat potent, so I suggest everyone wear masks,” Liao Ning advised.

Given the unique circumstances, all the staff in the live-stream room joined in the production process. Soon, the room was permeated with the alluring fragrance of fire lotuses.

Once all the petals had been crushed, Liao Ning produced a bowl of honey.

“Finally, you just need to pour the petals into the honey and stir until well-combined, ” she explained.

“For detoxification purposes, you can soak the nectar in water. Typically, a small bowl like this can detoxify seven or eight people, taking no more than ten minutes.”

Liao Ning scooped a spoonful of nectar and stirred it in warm water before placing it on the corner of the table.

Catching Loya’s eye, she signaled the guard who promptly picked up the cup and poured the nectar into Liao Nai’s mouth.

Without resistance, Liao Nai obediently consumed the nectar in the cup.

He placed his trust in Liao Ning, keeping in mind her advice to prioritize his own protection before assisting her.

Due to consuming only a small amount of pollen, Liao Nai reverted to his human form after a couple of minutes.

Seeing his well-being, Loya feigned weakness as she prepared a cup of nectar for herself.

“I have faith in you, Ms. Liao. I’m willing to give it a try,” she declared confidently.

[No, Your Highness, please reconsider!]

[Can we really eat purple fire lotuses? I have a feeling Liao Ning might be deceiving us once again.]

[Purple seems dangerous. Could she be concocting poison once more?]

Despite the doubts expressed by the online audience, Loya maintained her righteous stance, stating, “I trust her. I’ve been live-streaming with Ms. Liao for a long time, and I’m willing to put my trust in her, even at the cost of my own well-being.”

With a heartrending smile directed at the camera, she continued, “Even if it turns out to be poison, I’m willing to try it for the sake of everyone.”

Loya closed her eyes and consumed the honey in the cup.

Initially, there was only the sweet taste of honey, but gradually, the aroma of the fire lotus blended in, creating a unique flavor and texture that paired smoothly with the honey.

Impressed by Liao Ning’s culinary skills, Loya realized she needed to obtain the ancient recipe for this dish.

The live-stream did not abruptly end. Concerned netizens continued watching anxiously to observe any changes in Loyals condition.

Meanwhile, Liao Ning, aware of the limited time, focused on producing more antidotes.

Unaware of the extent of the poisoning among the royal family, Liao Ning believed that numerous netizens had already followed her instructions to prepare stir-fried kale. By creating additional antidotes, she could save even more lives.

As minutes ticked by, Loya’s complexion grew progressively redder, and color returned to her lips.

Netizens bore witness to her transformation, finally placing their trust in Liao Ning’s antidote.

[Is the princess recovering? She looks much better now!]

[Does it work that quickly? Weren’t we told it would take over ten minutes?]

[But honey is scarce. It has always been a privilege of the royal family and nobility. You can’t find it for sale even if you have money.]

[My daughter is already unconscious. Would anyone be kind enough to sell me some honey? Please, I beg you all!]

An increasing number of comments requested the availability of honey. Many households had fallen victim to the consumption of ancient delicacies, resulting in widespread poisoning.

Addressing the camera, Loya reassured, “Don’t worry, I’ve arranged for the royal family to open their warehouses and distribute honey to the public free of charge. Each family is limited to one portion, and you can collect it at the gates of the royal castle right now..”
