The Three Kingdoms of the Widow

Chapter 116 (33) Princess Dongxiang returns, Sima Jingdi marries (2)

Zhuge Jin lived in the Hanzhang Hall where the Zhen family used to live.

Guo Xu led the concubines in the harem to meet her, and like Cao Pi, he was not angry because she refused to salute.

"Hanzhang Palace is the place where your concubine, Mrs. Zhen, used to live. You live there, and remember how your concubine lived there."

Zhuge Jin deserves to speak righteously to everyone in the Cao Pi Palace. When facing Guo Xu, she is lazy to speak. Faced with Guo Xu's obvious malice, she doesn't even look at it, and resumes her posture in the car. that silence.

Cao Rui followed Zhuge Jin. He was afraid that Zhuge Jin's words would offend Empress Guo. He clenched his fists secretly when he heard Empress Guo mentioning the Zhen family.

Guo Shi smiled and looked at Cao Rui again, and called him in a very loving tone: "Emperor."

Cao Rui got up quickly, knelt down in front of Guo Xu and saluted: "Mother."

"What are you afraid of? Your Majesty didn't care about your imperial sister's disrespect, so why would you care about it as a mother?"

Cao Rui was told what was on his mind, so he could only nod embarrassingly: "What mother said is true."

"Go, send your imperial sister to settle in Hanzhang."

After saying goodbye to Guo Xu and coming out, Zhuge Jin looked at Cao Rui thoughtfully.

Cao Rui came up to comfort her in a low voice: "Sister, don't worry, Mrs. Guo doesn't dare to do anything."

"I know. Lord Wei doesn't want to kill me, she doesn't dare to think about it." Zhuge Jin said very firmly.

Cao Rui was a little strange: "Why are you so sure?"

"Cao Zihuan's waist is probably the Hanzhang sword."

"Your Majesty made a sword in the name of Hanzhang in the past, so it can be seen that he likes it very much. Today, Cao Jin is given to live in Hanzhang Hall... It seems that he really treats her as a princess. Don't wait too long." Guo Xu looked at the ten picks in front of him. Several maids said.

"Yes."

"Your Highness..." The lover standing next to him looked at this scene, his pretty brows frowned, and he hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter?"

The beloved seemed very embarrassed: "... I heard that His Majesty has sent someone to arrange for the princess... the maids and eunuchs who will serve..."

Guo Xu raised his head suddenly: "Who arranged it? Could it be that His Majesty arranged it himself?"

"...I heard, I heard that His Majesty entrusted the right servant of Shangshu to shoot Sima Yi..."

Guo Xu almost didn't come up in one breath, and it took a long time before he said with difficulty: "Go...to check..."

Nothing to check.

The maids and servants who served Zhuge Jin had been specially trained, and Sima Yi knew them well, so there was no need to check them, and his loyalty was guaranteed.

What Sima Yi told them was: Absolutely guarantee that the princess will not die, try to ensure that I will not die, and the rest, you can do whatever you want.

As for who met the princess every day and what they said, of course they had to report.Sima Yi did not dare to take the daughter raised by Zhuge Liang lightly. When it comes to being influenced by his ears and eyes, just look at Nu Xin's energy to understand.

"However, it is estimated that His Royal Highness will go to see her... follow the rules, report when it is necessary, and prevent problems before they happen." These are Sima Yi's original words, so when the second visitor came today, the maids and servants I'm a little dumbfounded, Cao Rui is still inside, what is this guy trying to do.

"The crown prince's servant, Sima Shi, begged to see Her Royal Highness." Sima Shi took off the belt around his waist.

"Master, you...you can't see the princess..."

"Why, the oral orders of the first emperor and His Majesty have been abolished? When did no one inform me?"

"No, no, no..." A group of people fell to their knees in fright, and no one could bear the charge of despising the former emperor and the current emperor, but—"His Royal Highness is inside to catch up with the princess... It is inconvenient to report..."

"It's okay, I'll wait." Sima Shi sat at the door of the outer room.

The palace maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale: "Master, if His Royal Highness sees this, the servants will not be offended!"

Master Sima was unmoved: "I just want to see the princess, and leave after saying a few words."

"Can……"

Cao Rui is trying to communicate with Zhuge Jin at this time.

Zhuge Jin was sitting in front of the mirror stand, looking at the double-layer Nine Sons' Lian with painted cloud patterns next to him, without saying a word.

Sitting next to her, Cao Rui eagerly described what happened to Mrs. Zhen back then: "Sister, do you still remember the appearance of the mother concubine? The mother concubine always likes to repair the distant mountain eyebrows..."

Seeing that Zhuge Jin was unmoved, and his eyes were still on a few utensils, Cao Rui quickly changed the subject: "The nine sons' dowry was also used by my concubine. The comb, grate, and needle clothes are still there. The concubine likes to do it by herself." Comb your hair, this rhino horn comb is the easiest to use..."

But the needles and threads in the needle clothes were all gone, because he was afraid that Zhuge Jin would commit suicide or self-mutilation with a sharp needle.

No matter what Cao Rui said, no matter how he recalled Zhen's past, how he talked about the friendship between his siblings, Zhuge Jin didn't respond. It was extremely harsh, he stood up abruptly, walked to the door a few steps, and pushed the door open: "What are you arguing about!"

Everyone outside fell silent.

Holding the jade pendant in his hand, Master Sima bowed to Cao Rui: "Your Majesty, Master Sima, I pay my respects to Your Royal Highness."

Cao Rui looked at Master Sima - he really didn't want to see this man if possible - and asked the maid: "Why is he here!"

Cao Rui's words were full of murderous intent, and the maids trembled and said, "The crown prince said that he wants to see the princess..."

These words angered Cao Rui: "Is he going to see him as soon as he wants? Why didn't he know to stop him! What's the use of asking you!"

"Yes, but he has, the first emperor bestowed the group adornment, and, has His Majesty's dispensation..."

"The first emperor and the father were both deceived by him! Who is my emperor sister? Did he see him whenever he wanted? He is not allowed to come again in the future!" Cao Rui was angry when he thought of this. Cao Cao gave it to Sima in front of him. The master gift also allowed him to enter and leave the palace freely, why!

"Your Highness," Sima Shi knelt down, his expression was very earnest, he had never shown such an expression before, "I just want to see the princess, and I want to clarify one thing, and I will leave immediately after I finish the question."

"Get out!"

Cao Rui pushed violently, Master Sima was fine, but the trousers in his hand accidentally flew out, fell on the stone steps, and fell to pieces with a crackling sound.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Cao Rui also realized that he had caused some trouble, so he stomped his feet, said "he is not allowed to see the emperor's sister", and left quickly. The maids and servants hid quietly. After entering the room, he closed the doors and windows, only Sima Shi was left staring blankly at the broken jade pieces and jade beads scattered all over the floor.

In the room, Zhuge Jin turned around.

Master Sima came again the next day, but this time Cao Rui was not there.

The palace maid came to stop him again, Sima Shi showed a pile of broken jade stones in his hand: "I just want to see the princess."

"Your Highness, you heard what you said yesterday..."

"Is it Sima Master Sima Ziyuan?" Zhuge Jin said unexpectedly in the room, "Please come in."

"The princess invited me, you heard me." Sima Shi looked at the maid.

...then come in.

In the inner room, two court ladies rolled up the beaded curtain and invited Master Sima to enter.Master Sima saw that Zhuge Jin was sitting in front of the desk, wearing a three-layered coat, wearing a bun, without any jewelry, and even his makeup was simply painted on his eyebrows and lips, without any rouge.The makeup of this body is completely different from the luxurious style on the day of entering the palace.

Seeing Master Sima's slightly surprised expression, Zhuge Jin knew what he was thinking, and stretched out his hand to gesture to the cushion on the opposite side of the table: "Your lord ordered that you don't give me any sharp objects like hairpins for the time being, I'm afraid I'll kill myself with it. Reasonable, I don’t give away too much rouge and lead powder, I’m afraid I’ll be poisoned—please sit down.”

This is really my father's usual style, Sima Shi thought, and sat down: "Thank you princess for giving me a seat."

"I heard you have something to ask me?"

Just as Sima Shi was about to say "yes", he looked up and saw Zhuge Jin's plain attire.Zhuge Jin has a long neck and fair skin. He used to wear necklaces or wide-collared clothes, but today he doesn't have any of these. His neck looks bald.

Master Sima remembered, and he took out a box from his sleeve and handed it to Zhuge Jin: "This is..." Halfway through the speech, he suddenly felt unable to speak. This is of course a gift, but the gift is a bit flattering. Listening to Zhuge Jin Speaking of Sima Yi's various restrictions, Master Sima felt that he had committed more than one—how should I say it is appropriate? Why didn't I think about it in advance?

Zhuge Jin was calmer than Sima Shi, she took the box: "A gift? Thank you."

"My mother said...the first time we met, it would be more appropriate to give these..." Sima Shi reluctantly found an excuse.

Zhuge Jin opened the box, and inside was a necklace, which was strung together with jade rings and jade beads that had not been broken by the group, but the workmanship was obviously rough.

Zhuge Jin took out the necklace for a closer look, and suddenly burst out laughing.This was the first time Master Sima saw her smile.

"These pieces of jade, you got them upside down." Zhuge Jin pointed to the patterns of some of the pieces of jade and showed them to Master Sima.

Sima Shi suddenly felt very embarrassed.

"It's nothing, it's normal, it's not the strength of people like you." When Zhuge Jin said "people like you", he was a little joking, and Master Sima quickly said, "I'll take it back and change it."Zhuge Jin shook his head, and called the maids, asking them to bring scissors and silk rope.

"Young master is here, I will not be so stupid as to kill or commit suicide, if you are worried, just stand aside and watch." Zhuge Jin got what he wanted, turned to Master Sima and explained: "Your Majesty is really very nervous."

"The princess is a golden branch and a jade leaf, she dare not lose."

"Really? By the way, I think it's better not to talk about your father's affairs. What's your problem with me?" Zhuge Jin cut off the scissors, and Yuzhu rolled on the table.

"I probably know why the maidservants serving the princess died."

"Oh?" Zhuge Jin stopped his hand, "Tell me."

Master Sima looked at Zhuge Jin's busy work, and said calmly: "The exterior of the car has a few places that seem to have been repainted. I have seen it. In fact, it is not vermilion paint, but rouge. The words under the rouge —It must have been written by the princess.”

Words such as "kill the princess" and "do not stay" were written in several places, with a murderous look.

"The maidservants serving the princess are all female officials of some status, and they can read and write. But the bad thing is that they can read and write. If they can't read, maybe they will be fine."

Although the maidservants who followed Xia Houshang to pick up Zhuge Jin looked down on this "princess", the fact that they secretly stepped on the princess to gain some psychological advantage is definitely not the same as the fact that they really blatantly killed the princess.In any case, the identity of the princess is there, Cao Pi recognized it, and it was supported by the country. Losing the dignity of the royal family is not worth it.

So the maidservants became nervous when they saw these messages. They were guessing who wrote such words, and they wanted to drag everyone into trouble.Of course, they also discussed it in private, and none of them admitted that they wrote this kind of words by themselves.As expected, I knew that even if someone wrote it, they would not admit it.

Therefore, the maid who was recognized as the worst to Zhuge Jin became the target of public criticism. She was quickly alienated by everyone, and the others were busy changing their attitudes towards Zhuge Jin to wash away their suspicions. This maid had no choice but to Work harder to please Zhuge Jin.

But in the eyes of everyone, this kind of behavior was just a cover-up. The poor maid could not change her situation no matter what she did. She was also very wronged and angry. Everyone saw her anger.At this time, the words of threatening to kill the princess appeared again, and the maidservants became more and more uneasy, fearing that the angry maidservant who lost her mind would really do this and drag everyone into the water as a backstop. powerful!

The servant girl was killed by the companions in this way.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, similar words appeared again.

This means that the servant girl who was just killed was wronged.In other words, no matter whether these people will eventually bear the charge of killing Zhuge Jin, the charge of killing their companions in vain cannot escape.People in double fear are more likely to lose their minds, suspicions and temptations are played out every day until everyone dies...

No one would doubt Zhuge Jin, because Zhuge Jin didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and no one was more innocent than her in this incident.

As for writing outside the car - who would have thought that someone would be so cruel as to curse themselves.

Zhuge Jin listened to Sima Shi's calm narration, and tied the cotton thread in a beautiful knot: "Then what else do you not understand?"

"The last two."

The biggest bug in the whole plan is here. If it continues to develop according to this model, there should be one maid left in the end.But the fact is that the last two maidservants were poisoned to death by each other on the same night.

"It's very simple, I asked them for help."

On the same day, Zhuge Jin showed the same note to two maidservants: "Help me! She is going to kill me tonight!"

Both maidservants firmly believed that the other was going to do this, and in order to save themselves, they killed each other.

"So that's how it is." Master Sima nodded, feeling suddenly enlightened.As for Zhuge Jin killing so many people quietly, he thought it was normal, and even admired the ingenuity of this process from the bottom of his heart.

"it is done."

Sima Shi looked at the thing that looked like a fishing net in Zhuge Jin's hand: "The length... seems not as good as the width..."

Zhuge Jin didn't take it seriously: "I have a long neck, and it doesn't look good wearing an ordinary necklace. This is what my father and mother taught me. Wear it close to the neck, like this—how about it?"

"It's much prettier than what I made." Sima Shi said honestly.

Zhuge Liang didn't tell Zhuge Jin that this thing is the favorite of gothic vampire costumes in modern society.

Then Master Sima went to see Zhuge Jin every now and then, of course, when Cao Rui was not around, Zhuge Jin was very face-saving, and every time we saw each other, the two of them talked happily, and it was not at all obvious that Zhuge Jin had scolded Cao Weizhu in the hall shadow of man.

Master Sima didn't say anything or show it on his face, but he was a little proud in his heart. Zhuge Jin didn't treat Cao Rui as well as he did to him, which proved that he was special.

Master Sima didn't specifically explain this matter to Sima Yi, he had a vague feeling that it wouldn't do him any good if his father found out about it, he thought, how long he can keep it a secret is counting.

Sima Yi already knew about it.

She knew about it from the first time Master Sima went to see Zhuge Jin on his own initiative, but the reason why she kept her cool at that time was: Cao Pi also knew about it, and Cao Pi didn't care.

His son has grown up so much, Cao Pi himself expressed no objection to his son's messing around in the court, and Sima Shi behaved normally, and the content of the conversation was not out of the loop, so Sima Yi himself did not have any objections.

But all of the above are past tense.

Sima Shi has been behaving abnormally recently.Appearance, age 37, facial expression [-] were originally his main signature, otherwise, people who saw him would say that he is calm and sophisticated, and he would be a great weapon.But recently the trend of iceberg melting is obvious, and the resolute words in speech have also become gentle and amiable. Last time I enjoyed flowers with He Yan and others, and helped a little girl who was tripped by a flower branch, and gave a warm smile with spring breeze. I was fascinated on the spot A vote of Huaichun girls around.As for the little girl who was lucky enough to be helped, she wished she could pass out happily afterwards.Sima Zhao followed behind his brother, with countless question marks in his heart: "Is this my brother?"

As a direct result of this incident, the number of people who came to Sima's family to propose marriage began to increase exponentially.

In this case, Cao Pi still didn't care, Sima Yi felt bad, she decided to come to see Zhuge Jin in person, so that Cao Pi would not be caught off guard when making a decision.

Just in case, Sima Yi brought his daughter Sima Qinghe into the palace. Having a female family member is always more convenient in name.

Zhuge Jin also met Sima Yi very face-saving, which made the ladies in the palace have some illusions: the princess seemed to always treat the members of Sima's family with special courtesy.

Then if Sima Zhao comes next time, let him in?

Sima Yi looked at Zhuge Jin's cold face opposite him, and cut straight to the point: "Princess, dogs don't dare to climb high, please stay away from him in the future, princess."

"I don't understand what Sima Youpu said. Which of your two sons should I keep away from?"

"Although I have two sons, there is only one who comes to see the princess all day. The princess should know which one is better than the minister."

"The two people who came to see me all day are the sons of Sima Youpushe. I thought Sima Youpushe should know better than me."

Zhuge Jin pushed back tit for tat, which was beyond Sima Yi's expectation.

"Princess, you must be cautious in what you say... Neither Zhuge's guess nor Zhao Yun's report can prove anything."

Zhuge showed no timidity: "My father never said this in front of me, neither did my godfather."

"Then the princess shouldn't speculate..."

"I'm not speculating, I'm certain."

Sima Yi looked at Zhuge Jin, waiting for her to explain.

"Development line." Zhuge Jin explained.

"what?"

"The hairline on the forehead. On the day your son and Cao Yuanzhong picked me up, I found out that the hairlines of the two people are exactly the same. If you look carefully, their facial contours and facial features are also very similar. You can see it very clearly. That day in the hall, besides Sima Ziyuan, there was another person standing next to you. His hairline was exactly the same as that of the other two people. It should be Sima Zhao and Sima Zishang. I knew their identity at that time. Identity——The characteristics of the hairline are passed down from father to child. The characteristics and overall similarity of the hairline of these three people prove that they have the same father. It is impossible for Cao Pi, the Lord of Wei, to raise children for others—I am The exception of exceptions-the fortune line also proves that Cao Yuanzhong should be his own son, so following this line of thought, it seems that Sima Zishang and Sima Ziyuan are standing in the camp of the Sima family instead of the Cao family. It's weird, there are only two possibilities: either they were born by you, or they were born by Zhang Chunhua - the probability of the latter is so low that it can be ignored. By the way, is it true that you left Sima Qinghe in the outer room? A wise choice, I don't think she would be willing to hear the following words - her hairline is completely different from that of her brothers, and she is the best sample for comparison. She is not Cao Pi's daughter, and it is unlikely to be your daughter, but Much like someone standing next to you that day."

Sima Yi took a deep breath, she needed to restrain herself.

"I'd like to know what Zhuge has taught you... No, maybe I should ask what else she hasn't taught you?"

"My father taught me a lot, as long as I want to learn and he knows it, he will teach it." Speaking of Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin is very proud.

Sima Yi recalled what happened during the Battle of Hanzhong: "Then will the princess also make green alum oil?"

"Yes." Zhuge Jin said unambiguously, "But making this thing requires a crucible, and I haven't learned how to make a crucible yet."

"Okay, let's talk about something else—what does the princess know that can be made without a cauldron?"

"a lot of."

"for example?"

"Ammonium nitrate."

"Good technical term, what is this for?"

"fertilizer."

"Sounds good, can the princess try to do something for the Wei country? It must be of great benefit to increasing agricultural production."

"can."

"Is this used in Shuzhong?"

"No."

Sima Yi smiled: "How can I trust the princess with something that is not used in Sichuan?"

"I don't need it in Shuzhong, but I don't need it. When my father was in Jingzhou, he didn't use this thing. Because the land in Jingzhou and Shuzhong is very fertile. If this thing is used too much, it will harden the land. Therefore, there is no choice but to use it." It is only used as an expedient measure under certain circumstances.”

"Princess is indeed smart," Sima Yi said affirmatively, "So, princess should be able to imagine that her suggestion will never be adopted, right?"

"Because of this, the suggestion I made is a suggestion that will only make you suffer no matter whether you adopt it or not."

When leaving, Sima Yi thought, she is indeed Zhuge Liang's daughter.

Sima Qinghe came up to meet him: "Father."

Sima Yi caressed Sima Qinghe's hair: "Qinghe, remember to ask them to change your hair into a bun to cover your forehead when you go back."

The author has something to say:

In this section, all kinds of calculations, all kinds of fighting, all kinds of review of high school Chinese and cultural biology...

The author does not know where Mrs. Zhen lives. Maybe it was mentioned earlier, but the author has forgotten it now, so let’s take it as Hanzhang Hall.It is quite reliable that the Hanzhang Hall is for the princess, because it is said that Princess Shouyang, the daughter of Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu, fell asleep outside the Hanzhang Hall with plum blossoms on her face, which inspired the palace people to invent the "falling plum makeup".Those who are interested can also look up Liu Yu, who is also inextricably related to the Sima family...

Sima Shi’s kid is in love (people who fall in love have a lot of IQ), let us applaud him, and then light a candle...Zhuge Jin doesn’t love him, don’t think about it, Zhuge Jin has seen through the Sima family and the Cao family After the chaotic relationship, I just want to use this opportunity to destroy Cao Wei... It will not succeed, Ah Jin, your opponent is Sima Yi, and your father has not defeated her. It is already very impressive that you can survive a few tricks under her hands.

Zhuge Jin's method of killing people without using a knife actually comes from the first episode of the Japanese TV series "Black Ten People's Kuroki Hitomi". Of course, this section is slightly exaggerated, please don't pursue logic.The stalk of the hairline comes from "Basic Deduction"... ms is an episode of the first season, I can't remember.Ammonium nitrate is indeed a fertilizer, but it is not allowed to be used now, because it can also be used as explosives... The worst thing about this thing is that it will explode when it is violently hit... Zhuge Jin, you really don’t let it go Any opportunity to harm Cao Wei, a big explosion in Luoyang will definitely make international headlines...
