As the blender’s noise grew louder, Liao Ning utilized her Al to connect with the live-stream, successfully synchronizing the broadcast.

“The fruit paste is ready! Now, pour the paste back into the pot and add a specific amount of white sugar. Keep stirring over low heat.”

Observing the mixture’s viscosity and the appearance of bubbles would indicate its readiness.

Next, prepare around 20 grams of lotus root powder, dissolve it in cold water, and pour it into the pot while continuing to stir.

Eventually, a sticky liquid would form.

“We will now transfer the pulp into a container and let it cool. Once it solidifies, we can cut it open and enjoy.”

As the popularity of the ancient food live-stream increased, the functionalities in the broadcasting room became more comprehensive. The cooling function was promptly activated, allowing the hawthorn fruit paste to cool down completely.

Only then did Liao Ning cut a small piece, placing it on a plate before handing it to Loya.

At that moment, Loya delicately picked up a small fork and exclaimed, “The hawthorn cake is wonderfully sweet and tangy!”

As the staff activated the five senses sharing system, Liao Ning’s video feed seamlessly merged into her Al’s stream.

However, the other staff members had already witnessed the image transmitted by Liao Ning, leaving the netizens astounded by the revelation.

“I underestimated you.”

“With this evidence, as long as you handle things discreetly, the Bell Family will be the ones accused of poisoning.”

“Rest assured, Earl Bell’s downfall is inevitable this time. The Sam Family won’t give him a chance to stage a comeback.”

Liao Ning played the footage of Sami being apprehended. Uncertain of how long the connection would hold, she prioritized releasing the primary evidence.

The video was brief, followed by a picture of the contract as conclusive evidence.

As expected, less than a minute had elapsed. The moment the picture was revealed, her Al connection was abruptly severed, abruptly ending the live-stream.

An air of silence descended upon the live-stream room, with everyone wearing bewildered expressions.

Only now did Loya sense that something was amiss. “What’s happening?

Weren’t we live-streaming? Why did the function suddenly stop?”

The staff exchanged puzzled glances, unsure how to explain the situation to the princess.

Just then, the guards entered the room, blocking Liao Ning’s path.

An irked Loya inquired, “We’re in the middle of a live-stream. What are you doing here?”

One guard respectfully responded, “Your Highness, Lady Liao’s Al connected to the live broadcast room. She synchronized some videos and documents, and she needs to be interrogated.”

“What video? What are you talking about?” Loya felt a surge of panic as she turned to Liao Ning.

Liao Ning remained silent as she departed with the guards. She knew that Earl Bell and his family had likely succeeded in their plot.

Meanwhile, the Elder Prince’s men had promptly made their exit, leaving no trace of evidence behind.

Alone in the interrogation room, Liao Ning pondered the gravity of today’s events, entwining two prominent families. No minister wished to get entangled, thus all awaited the unfolding of events. Only the king possessed the authority to personally interrogate them.

As expected, half an hour later, someone arrived to escort her to the presence of the king.

And there was not only the king in the hall, but also Loya, the three princes, Zhou Ling and a group of ministers.

Liao Ning made an effort to compose herself, maintaining a steady stride as she moved forward.

“Lady Liao, did you plant the virus in the live-stream room?” The king’s voice carried a stern tone.

Avoiding direct eye contact, Liao Ning acknowledged without hesitation, “Yes, I was responsible for uploading the videos and contract photos.”

Loya immediately interjected, her voice filled with accusation, “Why would you do such a thing? You are attempting to frame us! The Sam Family is dedicated to the well-being of the empire. Father, she is an advisor to the rebel army. She undoubtedly has ulterior motives.”

Earl Sam, a staunch supporter of Loya, had been contacted by her upon watching the incriminating video. Loya hoped that the Sam Family could swiftly devise a countermeasure.

However, the clarity of the evidence in the video left no room for doubt. It explicitly implicated Liao Ning, offering no alternative explanation.

The Elder Prince, already sensing the collusion between Loya and Sami, spoke icily, “Earl Bell is also deeply committed to the empire’s welfare. What makes you so certain that Lady Liao is framing us? We can easily find someone to verify the authenticity of the video. No further arguments are necessary..”
