Chapter 201: Missing
However, although Di Guangyuan was punished here, Zhu Xinghe couldn't be happy.
There is no news about Aunt Jiang yet, and Zhu Xinghe also knows people in the palace, but it is said that on the day of Aunt Jiang's disappearance, there was nothing abnormal.
Aunt Jiang, as a very experienced palace maid in the palace, has her own rules of life.
Since Zhuo Yongfei married Penglai, Aunt Jiang has returned to the Huanyi Bureau. Ling Guifei wanted to take Aunt Jiang to her, but because things were busy these days, and everyone's eyes were on Ling Tianhan's body, the matter of taking Aunt Jiang to Ling Guifei could be put on hold for a while.
The minions of the Huanyi Bureau who were with Aunt Jiang that day all told Zhu Xinghe about the situation that day, and what they said was almost the same.
said that it was an ordinary day, and Aunt Jiang was in a good mood for those two days. It should be said that the people in their entire Huanyi Bureau heard that Zhu Xinghe was going to become Princess Han, and they were in a good mood.
So in those two days, although Aunt Jiang got up early, she didn't seem to be so stern to tell others to get up early. She went to the Internal Affairs Office early in the morning and retrieved the monthly money of the entire Huanyi Bureau this month. Then he urged the palace people who had sent the dirty clothes to the palaces one after another, and checked every piece of dirty clothes of the masters and mothers, so as not to leave anything in those dirty clothes, so that the masters and mothers could not find it, which was naturally a bad thing.
Then, as usual, she beckoned everyone to breakfast, and when she ate, she said that the people of the Internal Affairs Office were interested in them. even mentioned Zhu Xinghe, saying that they wanted to come to see the face of Zhu Xinghe and His Royal Highness King Han, so the food given to the Huanyi Bureau these days was fresh and tricky. It's not like in the past, I just ate some leftovers from the palace next to me all day or didn't want it.
Then, this morning, Aunt Jiang was busy washing the things for the masters and mothers. Naturally, she was still very strict with all the minions of the Huanyi Bureau as usual. If she found something that hadn't been cleaned, he would immediately call them over.
At the same time, Aunt Jiang herself was not idle. Some palace people or unfavored masters have any sewing and mending work on their clothes, and Aunt Jiang can see it, so she will do it herself. It also saves a trip to the embroidery room, and the people in the embroidery room sometimes look at who is not favored or is an ordinary minion, and they are not willing to take care of them!
After doing these things in the morning, Aunt Jiang naturally had to take a rest at noon. Lunch break is Aunt Jiang's habit over the years, if she rests well at noon, everyone will have a better life in the afternoon.
But everyone said one thing to Zhu Xinghe, that is, at noon that day, Aunt Jiang probably didn't have a good rest. She got up earlier than usual, and her face was obviously not good-looking. At noon, no one saw anyone come to her, and no one knew why Aunt Jiang's face became so gloomy after just taking a nap?
So in the afternoon, no one dared to be lazy, and they worked hard.
Aunt Jiang was unusual, although she had a gloomy face that day, she didn't punish anyone.
On the contrary, in the middle of the afternoon, Aunt Jiang told the female officer in charge that she was going out. It is said that Concubine Ning's palace is now being overhauled, and a lot of old clothes have been found. Concubine Ning was reluctant to throw it away, so she let them wash it in the past to see if they could do something else.
This matter was personally attended by Aunt Jiang.
But as soon as she left, no one saw Aunt Jiang again.
Until the evening, Aunt Jiang hadn't come back, and although everyone in the Huanyi Bureau also felt strange, they didn't think much about it, they just thought that Aunt Jiang was stumbling over something.
But it wasn't until noon on the second day that Aunt Jiang was nowhere to be seen in the entire Huanyi Bureau, and everyone knew that something was wrong with Aunt Jiang.
There are also many slaves and maids in the palace who have suddenly had accidents, most of them have collided with their masters, some have been punished, some have been locked up, and some have been directly killed by their masters.
So in those two days, although Aunt Jiang was not in the Huanyi Bureau, the few female officials in charge below were also quite competent. Everyone was waiting for Aunt Jiang's news to know what they would do next.
But until this time, Zhu Xinghe went to inquire about Aunt Jiang's whereabouts, and no one knew what happened to Aunt Jiang! It was as if she had evaporated from the world, disappearing without a trace in this palace. And in the end, she is a palace maid of the Huanyi Bureau, and no one really cares at all. So even if Zhu Xinghe wants to get to the bottom of it, no one can tell Zhu Xinghe why. Everyone only knows that Aunt Jiang is gone!
However, Zhu Xinghe also got a piece of news, that is, the day before Aunt Jiang's accident, someone from the National Teacher's Hall did come to find Aunt Jiang.
It's just that when the person was looking for Aunt Jiang, many people from the Huanyi Bureau were present. That person just explained to Aunt Jiang, saying that in two days, a batch of new clothes from the National Teacher's Hall would be sent to the Huanyi Bureau, and Aunt Jiang was asked to wash the clothes and then iron them out and send them to the National Teacher's Palace in person. Those clothes are very important to the National Teacher's Palace, please Aunt Jiang must take it to heart.
Aunt Jiang has always done things in a measured way, but unfortunately, after those clothes were sent to the Huanyi Bureau, Aunt Jiang disappeared.
After that, there was no news of Aunt Jiang in this huge palace. Degui also mobilized his own connections and asked the palace maids in Concubine Ning's palace.
Speaking of which, Aunt Jiang did go to pick up clothes in the afternoon that day. After taking the clothes, a palace maid saw Aunt Jiang heading east. But the Huanyi Bureau was to the west of Concubine Ning's palace, and since then, no one has seen Aunt Jiang again.
Therefore, the exact time of Aunt Jiang's disappearance should be after she left Concubine Ning's palace.
The clothes she took from Concubine Ning's palace were also missing.
Seeing Zhu Xinghe's sad face, Degui also patted Zhu Xinghe's shoulder: "Ah Xing, you and I have served in the palace for many years, and we know better than anyone else. In the first year and a half in this palace, a few people were lost and a few people died, which is a normal thing. Now, as long as Aunt Jiang's body has not been found, it proves that Aunt Jiang still has hope. ”
He was cheering up Zhu Xinghe, and he was also cheering himself up: "Do you remember that my master once had a brother, didn't he just disappear in the palace for a month, and later found out that he collided with his master and was imprisoned for a month?" ”
