Qianshui Pavilion was open at the moment, but there weren't many guests in the shop. Qian Shui was taking care of the shop herself and walked out as soon as she saw Yun Shang's carriage. "Your Highness..."
Qian Zhuo drew aside the curtain and got off the carriage with Qin Yi. Then she helped Yun Shang get off. Yun Shang smiled gently, "I was just thinking about whether you had closed the shop in the new year. Luckily, you didn't."
Qian Shui smiled, "Your Highness, what a coincidence. We had closed the shop for several days and just opened it today."
Yun Shang nodded slightly and walked into the shop. "I remember there is a kind of rouge called butterflies in love with flowers. Do you have it now?"
"Butterflies in love with flowers?" Hearing this, Qian Shui paused for a while and quickly caught up with them. When she entered the shop with them, she said with a smile: "I have, but only one box."
"That's enough. One box is enough. Go get it for me." Yun Shang said gently, and then went to the second floor with Qian Zhuo and Qin Yi. Walking into a room on the second floor, she walked to the window, opened the window a little bit and looked down. The coachman was standing next to the carriage and looking around, as if on high alert.
Yun Shang closed the window before she sat down and said to Qin Yi, "I ordered Qian Shui to bring the rouge here. It doesn't have strong fragrance, but it is specially made by the secret guards. The secret guards can track down people with the scent. I paid attention to the coachman just now. He was breathing lightly, and we didn't talk much, but he should hear us clearly. He must be a kung fu master. He definitely couldn't be just some ordinary servant."
Qin Yi nodded. Yun Shang continued, "It's not surprising that the prince has his own shadow guards or bodyguards around him, but we don't know how many he has as he is always hiding so well. This is an opportunity."
"Do you want to use this coachman to get rid of all the cultivators around the seventh prince?" When Qian Zhuo understood what Yun Shang meant, her eyes twinkled with excitement.
"It would be great if we can. But the seventh prince has always been very cautious, and I'm afraid it's not easy. But it doesn't matter. At least, we can know where these people are hiding. The fragrance can only last for three days, and our time is limited. " Yun Shang smiled and turned to Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, take the box of rouge and make a false slip when you get on the carriage, sprinkling the rouge on that man."
Qian Zhuo said in a hurry, "Your highness, Qin Yi is not good at Kung Fu. What if the man dodges? Let me do it.
"I'm afraid the coachman must be better than you in Kung Fu and he must have known that you know some Kung Fu. It would be suspicious if you fall down so easily. Qin Yi knows nothing about Kung Fu. That's why I ask her to do it." Yun Shang explained indifferently.
The door was pushed open. Qian Shui walked in with an exquisite carved box, smiling, "This is the only one I have. It's really troublesome to make it." Then she walked to Yun Shang, opened the box, and there was light red rouge powder in it.
Yun Shang leaned over and sniffed. Then she nodded, "Wonderful. The smell is light, but elegant. It will be useful if it can be used. Ask more people to make it. If you need anything, just let me know. I'll send people to find it."
Qian Shui replied: "Your Highness, some material is really hard to find. I'll make a list and send it to you later."
Yun Shang nodded slightly and stood up, "Let's go. It's time to go back."
The three of them then went downstairs and went out of the Qian Shui Pavilion. Qian Shui opened the curtain and got Yun Shang onto the carriage. Qin Yi followed them. But as soon as she stepped on a wood outside the carriage, she slipped. Qin Yi hurriedly grabbed the coachman by the side, and the rouge box in her hand was knocked open and fell on the carriage driver's shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Yun Shang finally turned around when she heard the noise. Qin Yi had almost steadied herself, but she looked at the rouge in her hand with a frown and a bit frightened.
Qian Zhuo said, "Your highness, it was an accident that Qin Yi slipped and almost fell when she got on the carriage."
Qin Yi quickly knelt down at the edge of the carriage, "Please forgive me, your highness. I've knocked the rouge over."
Yun Shang frowned and sighed, "Why are you so careless?" After a moment of silence, she softened her voice and said, "The shopkeeper said that this box is the only one for the time being. Well, go back to the shop and tell her to make another box. When it's done, send it to our mansion."
Qin Yi nodded, and got off the carriage in a hurry. She went back to the shop to have a detailed account before she got back to the carriage. Yun Shang glanced at Qin Yi's hands and passed her a handkerchief. "Clean your hands carefully."
Qin Yi nodded, but she hurriedly said, "I have a handkerchief with me." Then she took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her hands carefully.
Until they arrived at the mansion, the coachman didn't make any noise. Yun Shang was surer that he was sent here by the seventh prince to find out the truth.
