C298 Mysterious powder shop

Xing`er often came to a powder shop with a small front and not many varieties. Upon entering, she smelled a vulgar powder smell, causing Jin Shu to sneeze loudly.

Behind the counter stood a gorgeous woman. Her face was covered with a thick layer of makeup. She might have been rather good-looking, but she had lost all of her elegance under her garish makeup. When she saw Jin Shu, she did not look overjoyed at all. Instead, she lazily sat down and rolled her eyes. Pick one yourself. "

Jin Shu looked down at them one by one. She even picked up the rouge box seriously to open it and smell it, then picked up a few and let the woman pack them up to pay.

"There is an epidemic going on outside, and your shop is still opening as usual. Aren't you afraid of getting infected by the epidemic?" Jinshu asked casually.

The woman smiled and said, "I run a small business, but once I close the restaurant, I won't be able to eat."

"But you haven't had much business since the beginning of the night?" Jinshu looked out at the street. She had been a customer for so long.

The woman glanced at him and smiled. "There will always be girls like this. They are not afraid of epidemics, so they came out to buy them. Women don't eat for a day, how can they be short of makeup?"

Jin Shu had nothing to say, so she took the bag from her and prepared to leave.

As she turned around, Jinshu suddenly saw the corner of a skirt flick past the curtain that led to the inner room, and the pair of shoes on her feet were embroidered in pale pink with a pair of soft ducks. Because people want to avoid yellow, that pair of ducks are embroidered with gray and black feather sparrow.

Jin Shu could clearly see that it was the black feathers on Huang Ying's back. At that time, the palace had bestowed a batch of feathers to the imperial family. Although the amount was not much, it was enough to make a few pieces of feather clothing, and the green-yellow feathers were left to Gu Qing Li. The black-yellow feathers were distributed to the ladies of the mansion, where they could be added to their accessories and clothes.

While Gabriella's was embellished with jewelry and a collar, Zhou Zhen was not interested in sparrow feather. She casually gave it to the maid, and Little Chan wove it into a thread to weave into her clothes while Xing'er used it to weave a pair of shoes and an embroidery.

When the woman inside saw that the brocade was not leaving yet, she asked, "Miss, do you need anything else?"

Jin Shu suddenly turned around and said, "Give me another eyebrow pencil."

The woman lazily dismissed her, then sat back down with an absent-minded look on her face.

Jinshu hurried away, making a mark with her eyebrow pencil and stone in the inconspicuous corner of the street. Then she hid herself in the corner and stared at the shop.

A moment later, a head popped up from the back of the shop, looked around, and came out with an air of ease, with a small brocade in its arms, no different from the maids of a common household.

Jin Shu quietly followed. Seeing her walk further and further away, she actually did not head in the direction of the prince's mansion.

After zigzagging through a few alleys, Xing'er slowed down her pace. She looked back and confirmed that no one was following her. Then, she stopped in front of a house at the end of the alleyway and knocked on the door.

As she looked back, although she was wary, her eyes were unfocused and unspeakably stiff, causing her to think of Rui Zhu.

"Come in quickly. Princess has been waiting for you for a long time. Why have you only come here now?" Someone inside the door spoke in a low voice. It seemed to be a woman.

Princess? Bewildered, Jinshu leaned closer to the alley wall, inching closer and closer. She looked around, hiding between the rock and rock lion close to the door.

Unfortunately, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away. It was obvious that he had bypassed the shadow wall and entered the house. Looking at this family's grandeur, no matter what they were, it was still a rich family. It was definitely not like a small family that could see everything just by standing at the door. It became impossible to eavesdrop on them, causing Jin Shu to be extremely disappointed.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came closer and the woman's voice said, "Don't forget the princess' orders."

Xing'er's voice was a little mechanical and cold. "I will only listen to my master's instructions."

"These are the conditions for the wangfei to cooperate with you! "Go back and tell your master that they are not yet in charge of the capital. If he wants to borrow the power of the Royal Concubine, he will have to pay a price."

Xing'er paused for a moment, then sneered. "Since she's so powerful, why don't you tell these things to your master?"

When Jin Shu raised her ears to listen again, the door opened and Xing'er walked out. She walked forward with a cold expression and looked straight ahead. Her gaze became increasingly dull and stiff, but she didn't see the Jin Shu hiding in the corner at all …

As Xing'er walked away, Jinshi watched her figure emerge from the shadows. He let out a long breath and took two steps forward, his face turning as pale as paper. He stared at the grim servant girl in front of him as he retreated step by step.

"Linglong, why hasn't the carriage arrived yet?" The woman's gentle voice came from inside the door. Her tone sounded a bit impatient.

Jin Shu's gaze turned towards the woman who walked out from the door, her eyes wide and her mouth agape. "It's you …" Her vision suddenly turned dark and her body slumped to the ground.

Having watched the autumn moon emerge from Ye Qiuyu's home, Gu Qingli was in a much better mood.

Autumn Moon had almost completely recovered, and the scars were no longer obvious. It was clear that there was no problem with her prescription. She was only waiting for the results of Lu Linghui's investigation outside the city.

Xiao Yi Xiu picked her up in the carriage and headed towards the Mo King's Manor.

There was only the monotonous sound of the carriage on the desolate main road. It was completely different from the bustle of the traffic in the past.

Just as Gu Qingli was about to speak, she heard the sound of rapid hoof steps. There were people shouting outside while driving carriages, whips whipping the air as if they were in a hurry.

When the plague broke out, there were still people who were in such a hurry to get going. This really made one feel a bit exasperated. Xiao Yi Xiu and Gu Qing Li shared the same thought. They lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out to see a plain looking horse carriage hurrying past. The horse carriage was not good at kicking, so no matter how hard they whipped the horse carriage, the driver was not satisfied.

"A nag like this won't be able to whip any faster, right?" Gu Qingli spoke without thinking and was about to retreat.

"No, look at these ruts, they're heavy. "If there are four or five people on top of this horse carriage, how will the horse get up quickly?"

Gu Qingli had no knowledge of the ancient prints, so after listening to her explanation, she looked at them for a while and confirmed that they were indeed deep.

"This is not even an ordinary carriage. Look at the curtain of the carriage, it is made with fine satin. Although the outside was completely changed into a normal appearance, the furnishings inside must be luxurious. Otherwise, the carriage's curtains wouldn't be so luxurious … The people inside are trying to hide their identities. "

"May I know which family it is?"

"Stop looking, let's go somewhere else." Xiao Yixiu pulled her to a sitting position, touched her face that was icy cold from the cold wind, and dotingly gave her a light kiss.

When he returned to the manor, he did not see the brocade Shu coming out to wait on him even at night. Only Yu Ying was busy, and did not seem to be able to handle it.

Gu Qing Li looked down the corridor, only to see that the yard maid in charge of sweeping was busy. Yu Ying ordered the kitchen staff to come over and help carry the plates down.

"What about Jin Shu? Let her fetch some water for this wangfei to bathe in. "

"Lan'er, prepare a bath barrel. Zhu'er, tell the kitchen to heat up a few pots of water and send them over …" Yu Ying pointed at the maidservants and ordered them to do their work while she hastily cleaned up the dining table.

"This wangfei asks you, where is Jin Shu?"
