Qin An and the others formed a circle around Qiao Xuan, anxiously awaiting her intervention to save the flower.
Aware that they might be attempting to steal her knowledge, Qiao Xuan made it clear that she would only share the maintenance method without guaranteeing its long-term effectiveness.
Flower nurturing, like any other craft, required personal exploration and cultivation. It couldn't be easily taught. Each individual had to rely on their own efforts to comprehend it.
Qiao Xuan possessed limited knowledge herself, so she refrained from providing extensive instruction. They wouldn't be able to replicate it on their own.
It wasn't that she wanted to withhold information, but rather, she had to do so. Sooner or later, the Queen and Princess Consort would issue the order.
