“First, we need to prepare the green kale. Due to its size, we suggest cutting it into shreds. Alternatively, you can peel a leaf or two before shredding to make preservation easier.”

Liao Ning made her best effort to cut open the green kale, while Loya stood elegantly, showing no intention of offering assistance.

Liao Ning sighed inwardly. She didn’t want to stoop to Loya’s level. It seemed that the princess was determined to maintain her elegance until the end.

“Now, dice the scallions, ginger, garlic, and red peppers. Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a pot, then stir-fry the scallions, ginger, and garlic over low heat until fragrant.”

She added the sliced green kale and stir-fried it on high heat until it changed color.

“Add a suitable amount of salt and soy sauce, and it’s ready to be served!”

Liao Ning worked quickly. Stir-frying vegetables was a simple task, and she completed the dish within 10 minutes.

The green kale and red peppers exhibited a beautiful color.

“The stir-fried green kale is done! Now, let’s invite our princess to taste it.”

Liao Ning gently pushed the plate towards Loya, who elegantly took a small bite and smiled. “Green kale is truly delicious—flavorful and affordable. The royal gourmet abbey will also feature this dish. Everyone is welcome to try it!”

The livestream ended with a fixed shot of Loya’s smiling face.

Afterward, the staff gathered around.

“I can’t believe green kale can be so enjoyable. It’s truly astonishing!” “Ms. Liao, you are incredible! You can turn anything into food!”

“Green kale is so affordable. If I eat ancient food every day, I might be able to save enough money to buy a large house in the empire within two years!”

The staff members engaged in their own conversations, while Liao Ning prepared to give the small plate of green kale to Liao Nai.

“You can’t take the dishes away today,” Loya suddenly intervened, pressing her hand down on Liao Ning’s arm.

Confused, Liao Ning asked, “Why not?”

“This dish was provided by the royal family, and my parents havent tried it yet,” Loya confidently explained. “You’ve already given the rest to the staff, and

I’ll serve this plate to my father.”

Without waiting for Liao Ning’s consent, Loya elegantly picked up the plate and departed from the livestream room with her maid.

Liao Ning watched her leave, puzzled. However, it was just a plate of green kale, and she could easily make more.

Yet, when she went to gather the ingredients, she discovered that there were no more green kale in the livestream room.

“Where is the green kale?” Liao Ning inquired, turning to one of the staff members.

“The princess instructed us to collect all the ingredients after the livestream, and they’ve been taken away. Ms. Liao, would you like more green kale? Shall I go zet some?”

Following Loya’s orders, the staff saw no issue with this. After all, the large quantity of green kale took up space in the livestream room, so it was natural to clean it up.

However, Liao Ning couldn’t shake off her sense of foreboding. She stashed the remaining green kale in her coat pocket and returned to her room.

“What are we having for today’s meal, Auntie?” Liao Nai grew impatient.

His rapid growth and daily training had increased his appetite.

Liao Ning retrieved the snacks she had made a few days ago. “Considering the circumstances today, can you have some snacks for now? I apologize.”

The child wasn’t fussy. He picked up the snacks and began to eat. Though the royal family had chefs who prepared ancient delicacies daily, the taste couldn’t compare to those made by Liao Ning.

Aware of Liao Ning’s recent emotional state, Liao Nai offered consolation. “Auntie, don’t worry. I believe that Uncle will definitely bring us back home, and I will protect you too.”

“Alright, thank you for your understanding, ” Liao Ning replied, her hand gently caressing his hair. Yet, a lingering sense of unease persisted within her.

The next morning, her suspicions were validated.

In the early hours, the castle alarm blared, rousing Liao Ning from her slumber.

As she opened her door, a sight greeted her: guards stationed at every entrance, standing on high alert.

“His Majesty has been poisoned! Secure the network and seal all entrances!” their urgent commands echoed throughout the castle..
