Zhao Rui and a woman in purple were sitting in the garden pavilion, drinking tea opposite each other. In the middle, Zhao Rui accidentally found two flowers blooming at the end of a branch next to the pavilion. The weight of these two buds made the branches unable to bear the weight and beat them down.

"I wonder what Sima Yi will feel now? I will probably indulge in the blessings of Qi people and cannot extricate himself. But this blessing should make him breathless."<

Zhao Rui smiled gently and gently put the teacup in her hand on the stone platform, as if she was very happy to see it.

The woman in purple in front of her never touched the flower tea that had already cooled down in front of her. She looked at Zhao Rui's unpredictable smile and saw how complicated her mentality was:<

"The premise is that the 'blessings of the people of Qi' you mentioned are what Sima Yi wants, otherwise it will only make him suffer. I can see that Sima Yi's feelings for Zhang Chunhua are dedicated. Letting him marry a woman he doesn't love and hurt his beloved will be the real pain for Sima Yi."

After hearing the words of the woman in purple, Zhao Rui smiled contemptuously:

"It's like you did to Sima Fu?"

This sentence made the woman in purple unprepared and looked at Zhao Rui in front of her with shocked eyes.

"Don't be full of 'how did you know' expression. I'm still a woman no matter how you say it, and I have love. When Liu Ji sent you to contact me, you would exchange letters with me regularly. However, suddenly you interrupted the contact for a while. I sent someone to check it. This period was when Sima Fu was cremating Dongjiang Tower. I think it must be because you didn't believe this, so you checked it yourself."

As he said that, Zhao Rui stood up and walked behind the woman in purple, put her hand on her shoulder:<

"It's a pity that your sweetheart has betrayed you and defected to your mortal enemy. It's really ironic..."

Before she finished speaking, she put her face in the ear of the woman in purple:<

"However, Sima Fu's mind has never been on you. The only person he loves in his heart is Cao Jie. In the end, you are no different from me. Are you right? Miss Ziyi, or should call you your original name, Dong Bai..."

In an instant, the woman in purple pulled out the long sword on the table and turned around and put it on Zhao Rui's neck:

"What else do you know?"

Facing the sharp blade, Zhao Rui seemed to be not afraid at all, but smiled in shock:<

"If you deal with dangerous people like you, wouldn't you seek death if you don't know more about information that is beneficial to me? Besides, it is because of the chess game you set up to be so smooth. I think even if you want to kill me at this moment, the people behind you will not agree, right?"

After saying that, Zhao Rui raised her right hand and gently pushed away Dong Bai's blade with her index finger:<

"You should be very clear that the three chips you hold in your hands can indeed have huge lethality, but if you can't open a key link, it means that there is nothing worthless. Now Sima Yi has approached himself by a dead end. As long as he marrys Fu Ruoxin, there will inevitably be a huge crack between him and Zhang Chunhua. That is what you and I want to see, right?"

After returning home with heavy steps, Sima Yi was thinking about how to face this and how to face Zhang Chunhua, but no matter how he thought about it, there was no way to do both ways that could neither hurt Zhang Chunhua nor Fu Ruoxin.

The moment he pushed open the door, the courtyard was already full of boxes and dowry, and Sima Kui and others in the courtyard looked at Sima Yi standing at the door with a look of at a loss.

The first thing that came to his mind was Zhang Chunhua. He walked quickly to himself and the room without having time to explain to Sima Kui. However, when she pushed open the door, she found that the atmosphere in the room was no different from usual:<

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao were playing in the house, and Zhang Chunhua was sorting out the toys of their brothers. When she saw Sima Yi standing at the door, she couldn't help laughing:<

"What's wrong? Why don't you come in?"<

Many Zhang Chunhua's reactions flashed through Sima Yi's mind, but he didn't dare to think about or face such peace.

Seeing that Sima Yi was still standing at the door with a dull expression and did not move a step, Zhang Chunhua laughed again:<

"What's wrong today? I look like I'm in a daze. Come in quickly. I've prepared all the food."

"Oh...good..."<

Sima Yi walked into the house with absent-minded heart and sat cross-legged before the table. Zhang Chunhua took off the buttoned bowls covered on the table one by one, and reached out to touch the bowl containing the meal:

"Fortunately, if you come back later, I'm afraid I'll go and heat it up again."

Looking at the table full of foods he liked, Sima Yi couldn't help but clench his fists. He knew that maybe his wife didn't know about this, maybe she was afraid that this was true, so since she entered the house, Zhang Chunhua still treated Sima Yi as usual, and did not dare to ask, let alone say it, because once she said it, it was a fact that it was really an iron-clad fact...<

However, Sima Yi knew that this would not be possible to change anything. When Zhang Chunhua bent down and put the buttoned bowl, he reached out and held her hand. After biting his lip, he finally made up his mind to pierce this meaningless window paper:<

"Sit down, I have something to say to you..."

Zhang Chunhua, who had tried his best to restrain himself from asking about the marriage, suddenly felt his heart sank when he saw Sima Yi talking to him in such a serious tone.

But she still sat next to Sima Yi calmly, trying to use the last bit of hope to numb herself:

"Hmm? Why is it so serious? It's so scary..."<

Even if Sima Yi is unwilling to do so, he must tell you about this extremely cruel thing to Zhang Chunhua:<

"Cao Cao has asked the emperor to marry Fu Ruoxin..."

Zhang Chunhua was stunned for a while, but he did not react too much because of this sentence:

"Fu Ruoxin? It's the girl you said before that saved you in Lukou? But why did Cao Cao want..."

Sima Yi, who lowered his head, had no courage to look at Zhang Chunhua's eyes from beginning to end:<

"Empress Fu was defeated in the political struggle with Cao Cao, so the whole clan suffered a devastating blow. Fu Ruoxin was the sister of Empress Fu naturally could not be spared. She had saved my life desperately before, so I could not sit idly by now."

After a while of silence, Zhang Chunhua said to Sima Shi and Sima Zhao who were playing with each other behind him:

"You two go out to play first..."

Sima Zhao, who was only three years old, was already having fun, so he was unwilling to go out. Unexpectedly, his mother, who had never gotten angry with him, actually scolded him sternly:

"Go out!"<

Sima Zhao burst into tears due to frightened and fear. Seeing this, the five-year-old Sima Shi hurriedly took his brother's hand and walked out of the house.

As a bystander, Sima Yi knew that although Zhang Chunhua's anger was not directed at him, he knew that the source was from him. He wanted to try to explain it to minimize Zhang Chunhua's anger:<

"Chunhua, I..."<

However, Zhang Chunhua didn't listen to his explanation at all. The uncontrollable anger in her heart finally burst into a series of questions:

"Why? Why do you have to marry her if you save her? What's the reason?"<

Seeing Zhang Chunhua's emotions get excited, Sima Yi's heart is also panicked:

"Empress Fu is in trouble now. Most of the people in the court and the country are from Cao Cao. Even if they have sympathy for her, they will never dare to take the risk to rescue her at this time. I had thought about letting Cheng Wu go to rob the prison, but Fu Ruoxin and Empress Fu were both imprisoned in the palace's violent room, and were personally taken care of by the two generals Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu. I really couldn't help myself..."

"I can't help myself..."<

Tears flowed from Zhang Chunhua's eyes:<

"Do you still remember what we said to each other? You are my only husband in this life, and I am also your only wife in this life. Now I will use the four words "involuntary" to overthrow it. Have you ever thought about it for me? Have you ever thought about it for your teacher and Zhaoer?"

Seeing Zhang Chunhua crying sadly, his whole heart was about to break. He didn't know how to argue for himself, because what Zhang Chunhua said was a fact, and he violated his original oath.

Sima Yi slowly stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Zhang Chunhua's face, but Zhang Chunhua avoided it with his face. She looked at Sima Yi with sadness: "I ask you, do you really have to marry her?"

This question is a must-answer question for Sima Yi and the most difficult question. He cannot escape and must face it:<

"Sorry..."<

The answer made Zhang Chunhua desperate again. She closed her eyes and nodded slightly, then stood up and left the house, leaving Sima Yi alone and sitting there...<

Fu Ruoxin, who was imprisoned in the violent room, looked at the moon hanging in the night sky outside the window every night. She missed Sima Yi. She thought she would never have the chance to see him again.

Fu Shou saw her sister's thoughts, stretched out his right hand, which was locked in heavy shackles, and patted Fu Ruoxin's back of his hand:<

"It was my sister who harmed you. If you had asked Your Majesty to give you a marriage to him, you would not have been implicated by me to end up at this point today."

Fu Ruoxin shook his head: "From the beginning, I knew that the only person he loved deeply was his first wife. Even if we forcefully matched us together, we would not be happy, and it would only cause pain to the three people..."<

"You've seen it thoroughly..."<

At this moment, a woman's voice came from outside the door of the violent room. Fu Ruoxin soon heard that this was Cao Jie who had been secretly giving them food and clothing, which relieved their originally hungry hearts.

The door was pushed open, Cao Jie, who was dressed in plain clothes, walked in and stood in front of their sisters, respectfully saluted Fu Shou and said, "The Empress, don't feel regretful. My father, Mr. Wei, had previously requested the decree of Your Descendance to grant Miss Ruoxin to Sima Yi as his concubine, and he would send her to Yecheng to marry him tomorrow."

This news was too sudden for them. Fu Ruoxin could not believe her ears. She asked again:

"Madam, what did you say just now?"

Cao Jie repeated the words just now: "I said that you will soon become Sima Yi's concubine of Dong Cao, which means that you have been out of danger of life and have been divided into the list of involuntary in the Fu clan."<

Fu Shou was very happy after hearing Cao Jie's words. She grabbed Fu Ruoxin's hands tightly and cried with joy:<

"This is so good!"<

However, Fu Ruoxin himself was not happy at all, but instead fell into deep shock:

"Why did Gong Wei suddenly ask His Majesty for such an edict?"

"Good question, because Sima Yi, who was concerned about your safety, took the initiative to ask my father to spare you a life on the grounds that you had an engagement with him. My father agreed to his request because of his repeated contributions and pardoned one person, you..."

Before Cao Jie finished speaking, Fu Ruoxin suddenly stood up:<

"This is impossible! I know him. He cannot marry someone he doesn't love to make his wife sad. Even if I have saved him, I will never force him to marry me. This is unfair to him!"

Looking at Fu Ruoxin in front of her, she made Cao Jie's heart that had been hurt again, but she knew that she should have considered that it was not her feelings that were touched by the scene, so she stepped forward and said to Fu Ruoxin:

"Unfortunately, he is willing to bet on his lifelong happiness in order to save your life. Now your marriage news has spread throughout the world. If you refuse, it will not only waste his good intentions, but also make you lose the chance of survival that you have finally obtained. If you die, the Fu clan will be completely destroyed. As the only flame left in the Fu family, you must think carefully about what should be done correctly."

Fu Shou also advised Fu Ruoxin not to act irritably: "Mrs. Cao is right, you will definitely survive..."<

At this time, Fu Ruoxin faced the result of his longing for the past but avoiding it, and fell into a painful choice like Sima Yi...

The next morning, Cao Jie came to pick Fu Ruoxin up and left the violence room. Fu Ruoxin, who had not closed his eyes all night, finally made a decision. With the help of Fu Shou, she put on a phoenix crown and a robe.

Seeing that the sister who had been with her was finally able to get what she wanted to marry her beloved, Fu Shou felt that this was the happiest thing she had ever married Liu Xie. Before leaving, she reached out to carefully sort out all the places on Fu Ruoxin's wedding dress that could be found, and told her:

"I will be someone else's wife in the future. Don't be as willful as before. Although Sima Yi and Your Majesty are destined to be not in the same field, my sister can see that he is a good person and will treat you sincerely in the future."

I don’t know why Fu Ruoxin was not happy at all, because she knew that the separation between her and Fu Shou was destined to be a perfect ending, which is also the painful reason why she accepted the living conditions.

Thinking of this, her eyes gradually became wet, and tears were about to fall. Fu Shou quickly reached out and held a handkerchief to wipe Fu Ruoxin's eyes: "How can the bride cry? She is so makeup-filled. I know you still hate me because of Sima Yi's affairs, but you still have to nag you. In the future, if your sister is not by your side, you must take good care of yourself..."<

Cao Xiu, who was standing outside the door, interrupted their farewell:<
To be continued...
