Why did Zhen Fu, the stunning beauty in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, cover her face with her hair and gag her mouth with chaff when she was buried?

Zhen Fu, a stunning beauty in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, was buried with her hair covered and her mouth stuffed with chaff, mainly to prevent Zhen Fu from revealing her true colors after her death and excusing herself.

Zhen Fu was also a stunning beauty in the Three Kingdoms period. At first, she was deeply loved by Cao Pi, who was almost obedient to her. However, Cao Pi, like his father Cao Cao, is also a man who likes the new and hates the old. After a long time, xelloss began to alienate Zhen Fu. In 220 AD, Cao Cao died of illness in Luoyang, and Cao Pi went to Luoyang to succeed him as the new king. Now that he is a king, he wants to build a queen. However, Cao Pi did not receive Zhen Fu from Luoyang. It turns out that just after Xian Di abdicated, he dedicated his two daughters to xelloss, who liked them very much. And xelloss also loves Guo Nvwang, Guo Nvwang is a very capable person. In the process of Cao Pi's seizure of power, Guo Nvwang played an important role.

Seeing that he was forgotten by xelloss, Zhen Fu was very unwilling, so he couldn't help but write a poem named Shangtang to xelloss and give it to xelloss. Originally, Zhen Fu thought xelloss would take himself back to Luoyang after receiving the letter. Unexpectedly, however, after reading the letter, Xelloss flew into a rage and directly gave Zhen Fu the news of his death. It turns out that Zhen Fu is old and faded, and its past glory is gone forever. Xelloss has lost interest in her. After xelloss had a new love, Zhen Fu wanted to compete for favor everywhere. It's the last straw. Xelloss ordered the execution of Zhen Fu, and then hastily buried him.

However, shortly after Zhen Fu's death, Cao Pi had a very strange dream. In order to solve this dream, Cao Pi found a warlock for divination. After divination, the warlock said that Cao Pi had this strange dream because a noble woman died unjustly. Xelloss knew that the aristocratic woman who died unjustly was Zhen Fu, so he reburied Zhen Fu according to the method given by the warlock, and then "covered her face with hair and gagged her mouth with chaff", which made Zhen Fu unable to show his true face and excuse himself after he went down to the underworld.

This shows that Cao Pi is really a heartless person.
