Chapter 218: Poisonous Fish Soup

Loya was shocked and quickly covered the pot with the lid. She tried to maintain composure and said, “If the oil temperature is too high, this can happen. Don’t worry, just cover it with the lid promptly.”
However, when she lifted the lid again, the fish emitted a strong fishy smell, and there was very little fish left.
In the end, Loya had no choice but to add more water to salvage the situation. Awkwardly, she stated, “Ice blue fish is versatile. Besides frying, it can also be used to make fish soup. You can simmer it over low heat. The fish soup is even more delicious.”
Loya added a few extra seasonings to the pot, gradually reducing the fishy smell. Although there was a fish fragrance, the fish soup had a yellowish-blue color, making it visually unappetizing.
Nonetheless, she persisted and completed the entire live-stream. However, she decided not to activate the five senses sharing system at the end.
Five minutes after ending the live-stream, Loya received a transfer notification and a message from Ke Lang.
[My dear princess, it’s a pleasure working with you.]
As Loya witnessed her account balance transform from o to tens of millions, a smile finally graced her face.
Meanwhile, Li Xian, who had just watched Loya’s live-stream, furrowed his brow and asked, “Are you sure we can actually consume the fish soup she made?”
Next to him, Liao Ning awkvvardly smiled. The ice blue fish was similar to Earth’s pufferfish, albeit with a different appearance.
She quickly looked up information about the ice blue fish. Indeed, it was mildly toxic. Loya hadn’t properly removed the toxins, so the fish soup was likely undrinkable. Even if it didn’t prove fatal, it would likely cause severe vomiting and diarrhea.
“Should we give it a try as well?” Li Xian seemed strangely eager.
Liao Ning felt a sense of helplessness. “If you want to spend your time running to the bathroom, go ahead and try.”
She promptly shared the information she had just found with Li Xian, who opened his mouth in astonishment. “Is this considered dark cuisine? Could it actually be deadly?”
Liao Ning shook her head. She wasn’t certain if the poison would evaporate or become activated after the ice blue fish incident.
That night, the truth became undeniable.
“Demand an explanation from the Princess of Dawn! Why did she teach us these poisonous ancient delicacies?”
“Yes! I spent over 100,000 star coins on an ice blue fish, but now my child is hospitalized with food poisoning. The doctor said it’s serious.”
“Why did the price of ice blue fish suddenly skyrocket? Is there some hidden secret within the royal family?”
As the protests echoed outside the window, the king’s expression turned icy. Loya, standing beside him, struggled to control her trembling body as she clenched her fists.
“Allow me to explain,” she stammered. “I simply wanted to try something new, but I had no knowledge of the ice blue fish’s toxicity. Before…”
“Previously, you witnessed Liao Ning’s success with this, and you didn’t want to fail, did you?” The king’s voice grew colder. “I tasked you with unifying the people. Is this your method? How does killing my subjects serve your interests?”
“It was an accident. I never intended to harm your people,” Loya hastily explained. “Causing harm to your people serves me no purpose. It was truly an accident.”
“I don’t want to hear your explanations. You know exactly who you are! ” The king dismissed her words and motioned for someone to escort her out.
“Your Majesty, Ke Lang from Earl Sam’s family requests an audience,” the attendant’s voice interjected.
The king glanced at Loya before gesturing for Ke Lang to enter.
Ke Lang cast a quick glance at the panicked Loya and spoke, “Your Majesty, this is the treasury funds that Her Highness fought to secure for the royal family.”
He handed over a check to the attendant. The king examined the figure on the check and smiled.
Ke Lang continued, “Her Highness was concerned that ordinary ingredients wouldn’t fetch a high price and thus couldn’t replenish the national treasury adequately. There were some missteps in the ingredient selection this time. However, my family will bear the compensation for it. The matter will be resolved swiftly. Please, Your Majesty, refrain from blaming the princess.”
The king narrowed his eyes, shifting his gaze between Ke Lang, Loya, and the check’s amount.
“Consider this incident forgiven. You may both leave now..”
