Seeing Liao Nai regain consciousness, Liao Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
She glared at Loya, but her presence was ignored.
“See? He’s fine for now, but only for now,” Loya nudged Liao Ning. “The news about the live-stream for the antidote release has been spread, and it will begin in three minutes. Get ready.”
Loya then instructed someone to bring the purple fire lotus petals to the live-stream room, while she stood aside with an air of disdain.
Planet Dynasty had a humid climate, resulting in the growth of exceptionally large plants, including an abundance of purple fire lotuses. Since purple wasn’t a popular color on Planet Dynasty, most of the petals from the purple fire lotuses grew wildly, without deliberate cultivation.
However, no one knew that the purple fire lotus petals, along with honey, could be used for detoxification, but the ratio had to be carefully controlled.
“Is this enough? Do you need other antidotes?” Loya asked with concern. “The royal family has elves, and I can ask for their assistance.”
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Liao Ning, but she believed that Sami or the Liao Family were more capable than Liao Ning in developing the antidote formula.
Liao Ning began gathering the petals, not bothering to respond to Loya. “Liao Nai has been poisoned as well. I won’t treat his life as a joke.”
Hearing her words, Loya felt somewhat reassured.
In front of the mirror, Loya applied foundation but skipped the lipstick to appear more vulnerable. Her current task was to portray a poisoned princess who was devoted to the empire. She needed to demonstrate her value in order to survive and gain greater influence.
Yet, Liao Ning paid her no attention and focused on weighing the petals.
The fire lotus plants in the empire were much larger compared to those on other planets. To achieve the perfect ratio, they couldn’t afford any carelessness in selecting the petals.
The three minutes were almost up. As the live-stream began, the comments section instantly filled with curses.
[Traitors are traitors. They are here on Planet Empire to poison the citizens of the empire! ]
[The family got poisoned after eating stir-fried green kale yesterday. Luckily, they did not eat much, otherwise they would have died by now!] [Why is she still alive? Shouldn’t the royal family execute her right now?]
[The King is poisoned too. It is this woman’s fault. We need to punish the culprit. We can’t let her get away with it]
[Yes, the culprit must be punished severely. The royal family should live-stream her execution!]
Upon seeing these comments, Loya adopted a feeble and hypocritical expression. “Please refrain from speaking about Lady Liao in such a manner.” Just as she uttered those words, she coughed, appearing even frailer. “I believe Lady Liao is not responsible for this. I consumed the green kale yesterday and was also poisoned, but I don’t think it was intentional on her part.”
Loya’s face grew pale, and her lips lacked color.
The netizens immediately recollected how she had been the first to taste the stir-fried kale the previous day, and they felt a sense of sympathy towards her.
[Why are you live-streaming while being poisoned? Are you assisting the murderer?]
[The Princess of Dawn is an ancient food blogger, no need to pretend!]
[Is Her Royal Highness okay? She looks so worn out]
“I am fine,” Loya pretended to cough a few more times. “Lady Liao has informed us that we have discovered the antidote for today’s live-stream, and we need to reveal the formula. I am willing to trust her and be the first to try her antidote. I am willing to sacrifice for the people.”
Her impassioned words garnered her a flurry of praise. Liao Ning inwardly sneered as she observed Liao Nai, who was restrained by the guards.
If she truly cared about the people of the empire, why did she choose Liao Nai as the first test subject for the antidote? Hypocritical individuals could never be sincere in this life.
Liao Ning had no desire to listen to any more insincere words from Loya. Many people had been poisoned, and it was crucial to develop the antidote as quickly as possible.
“Please believe me, this is of utmost importance, but I did not poison you. Today, I will disclose the formula for the antidote,” Liao Ning assured.
She picked up the crystal bowl containing the honey and the fire lotus petals.
“Our task for today is to detoxify the fire lotus honey. We will need 100 grams of honey and 100 grams of fresh purple fire lotus petals.”
The petals needed to be washed, avoiding the use of chemicals. A simple rinse with clear water would suffice.
Afterward, the petals had to be gently dried on a clean towel to remove any excess moisture..
