Chapter 378: 'Eyebrow Pencil'


Zhou Jianhong had already made a move, and Xia Xiaodong didn't think King Gui would remain silent.

Xia Xiaodong even breathed a sigh of relief when he heard slight movement from the window.

It doesn't matter if something happens, just tell him when he sees it.

The feeling of always waiting is not so good.

Fortunately it's here now.

However, I thought that the person who quietly came in through the window was not the person who was supposed to come.

"Shhh."

The person who came here put his index finger in front of his lips and made a very standard silence gesture.

Please, Your Majesty, a person like you is not suitable for traveling at night, okay?

Xia Xiaodong seriously doubted that the maid on duty outside must have been eliminated by the emperor's secret guards in advance.

Otherwise, the emperor's commotion would have been discovered long ago.

The emperor walked to the bedside with light steps and quick movements, his eyes glowing like a leopard in the dark night.

"As expected, you're not asleep, and you're waiting too."

The emperor said in a whisper to Xia Xiaodong, who had turned over and sat up inside.

Xia Xiaodong barely suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and moved to the right, indicating that the empty seat on the left was reserved for Zhou Jianhong.

It was rare that the emperor actually carefully stuffed the shoes he had taken off into the bed and hid them.

Then, as if he had entered a room, he climbed up on the bed and sat down in the designated place.

"I'll wait with you."

Zhou Jianhong continued to speak in a whisper.

A whisper is also a word.

Xia Xiaodong quietly shook his head, meaning to tell him to be quiet, and pointed at the window with his finger to protest against him for not closing the window tightly again.

Zhou Jianhong shrank his shoulders, probably apologizing for his unprofessional actions, and then shrank again, simply shrinking into the shadow of the curtain.

Xia Xiaodong quickly looked at him.

Fortunately, he was wearing dark gray clothes.

If he remained silent, he would not be easily seen.

Then he lay down gently, pretending to be asleep.

The window that was the focus of attention was not pushed open again.

Someone walked briskly and bent over at the door.

Looking from the direction of the bed, only the blurry side can be seen.

Her clothes are those of a palace maid, her hair style is that of a palace maid, and her cautious posture is similar to that of a palace maid on night watch.

She seems to just come in to see if the carbon basin is hot enough, or if the people in the room have any needs.

But the maid on night duty would never get so close.

Xia Xiaodong opened his eyes.

She saw a familiar face.

It was the other party who was frightened.

He was already frightened, but suddenly the target he was about to attack looked over with piercing eyes, and he was less than a foot away.

Hiss, the sound of gasping due to fear was only a short one, and then she covered her mouth with her own hand.

It was only his left hand that covered his mouth.

Because, the right hand was caught.

Xia Xiaodong looked at the thing in his hand, a little unsure of what it was.

Why does it look like eyebrow pencil?

Isn't this person so bored that he suddenly came here to draw his eyebrows?

Of course, as an eyebrow pencil, this thing seems a bit sharper.

Another hand reached over and gently and deftly took the thing that looked like an eyebrow pencil.

Anyway, the wrist was grasped and it was impossible to exert any strength at all.

Of course it's Zhou Jianhong who doesn't want to be idle.

The eyebrow pencil was raised and studied in the weak light in the room.

Nothing has been researched.

"What do you want to do?"

Xia Xiaodong pushed the person who attempted the sneak attack away and let go of her wrist.

The murder weapon was confiscated, and they were afraid she wouldn't be able to fight back.

"Of course I want you to die."

There was some weird persistence on the visitor's face.

She glanced at Zhou Jianhong again, her expression getting weirder.

"Why do you want me to die?"

Xia Xiaodong asked.

It is said that when people are at the end of their rope, they always talk too much.

If you can delay it for a moment, count it as a moment.

If you can endure it for a while, then you can endure it for a while.

Maybe there will be a turn for the better.

Xia Xiaodong felt that this was a good time to verify.

Assassinating the fresh Princess Minhui will never end well.

It would be a mercy if I could die quickly and get a whole body.

"How would I know."

The person opposite seemed to have lost the strength in his legs.

He slowly fell to the ground and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Anyway, I have been discovered, and the order I received is to kill you at any cost.

Lose."

"What is that?"

Xia Xiaodong pointed to the eyebrow pencil in Zhou Jianhong's hand.

"Poison."

The word was said very plainly.

Zhou Jianhong's arm shook, but he still held the eyebrow pencil tightly between his fingers.

As the word "poison" came out, the tip of the eyebrow pencil became an untouchable place.

"It is said that as long as the skin is slightly punctured, the victim will be poisoned and die."

The man on the ground continued to explain calmly: "It's just that the fresher the poison is, the more poisonous it is.

I only got it at noon today. " "Who gave it to you?"

Zhou Jianhong interjected and asked.

Other things can be said slowly.

If there are any accomplices, they should be caught quickly.

"I don't know."

The man on the ground turned to look at Zhou Jianhong: "When I came back from lunch, I found this on the dressing table, and a small note wrapped on it, saying that I had been discovered and asked me to take action as soon as possible. " "I thought there would be no chance to take action.

Someone might come to arrest me in the afternoon."

The people on the ground looked at Zhou Jianhong doubtfully: "Your Majesty" To be an emperor, do not stick to trivial matters.

I don't know how to be kind to women, and I have some boring ideas like letting people live half a day longer.

In the eyes of the people on the ground, since they had been notified that they were exposed, and now they saw the emperor here, it was natural that the emperor discovered the clues after the meeting.

Zhou Jianhong smiled, his white teeth glowing in the dark night, looking like some kind of predator.

"I didn't know you at all before, so how could I find out."

Zhou Jianhong said coldly: "I didn't send anyone to arrest you because there was only suspicion and no evidence."

Of course, you can also look for evidence after arresting someone, but if you arrest the wrong person, it will be more troublesome.

We just need to wait a little longer, and now the evidence is there.

Zhou Jianhong pointed the eyebrow pencil in his hand at the person on the ground, but asked Xia Xiaodong: "Princess, tell me, is this thing really that poisonous?"

The course of toxicology was compulsory for the palace.

The subject of poisoning can be said to be extensive and profound, and there are many articles that can be extended to any aspect such as the type, dosage, activity, combination, method, etc. of poisons.

If it is true, as the people on the ground say, that only a very small amount of the pen tip is needed to pierce the skin and enter the body, it can kill people.

Damn it, doesn't that mean that a new generation of palace weapons has emerged?

Zhou Jianhong actually really wanted to have such a good thing
