Visible but Unattainable, Growing Anxious

Grace pretended not to know anything, just muddling through the situation.

It wasn’t that she was trying to keep the peace or anything... it’s just that her grandmother’s birthday was coming up soon.

She planned to ask Evan Xiao for leave this afternoon and go home tomorrow.

At a critical time like this, she couldn’t afford any trouble.

She couldn’t risk not being able to go home. If the Prime Minister’s Residence sent someone to look for her at Shuiyue Nunnery, it’d be a huge mess…

After breakfast, Grace entered her Sanctum and used some tricks to test that broken bowl.

Sure enough, the bowl was poisoned.

Rosary Pea!

Sounds pretty romantic, doesn’t it?

Its toxicity is just as romantic.
