Zhen Fei is Guangxu's favorite concubine. Why can't Guangxu keep him in the end?

Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, he should be the emperor with the least political power in history. Although she is in a high position, Cixi listens to politics and the real power is in the hands of Cixi. Emperor Guangxu was just a puppet. So that Zhen Fei, one of Emperor Guangxu's favorite concubines, died tragically, and Emperor Guangxu failed to save her.

Princess Zhen was one of the favorite concubines of Emperor Guangxu. Everyone knows that the relationship between Emperor Guangxu and Cixi is very poor. Princess Zhen was always with Emperor Guangxu in his dark days. Only Princess Zhen was not with Cixi, so Emperor Guangxu trusted her. Zhen Fei lived in Guangzhou since she was a child and was influenced by western thoughts very early. Her personality is lively and cheerful, and she is curious about new things. Later, she entered the palace as a concubine, especially hated the feudal shackles in the palace and didn't want to live an introverted life, so this was also the reason for attracting Guangxu.

Guangxu saw the intrigue in the palace. He liked Zhen Fei's naive idea very much, but this behavior was seen by Cixi, who hated Zhen Fei's guts. In the 26th year of Guangxu, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing. Cixi was very weak and just wanted to escape, but she didn't want to take Zhenfei with her, so she took this opportunity to order her men to throw Zhenfei into the well. Although Zhen Fei begged, Cixi was not soft-hearted, so Zhen Fei, who was only 24 years old, died tragically in the well.

Guangxu watched his beloved concubine die in front of him. Although he felt extremely painful, he was helpless. After all, he has no political power, and he is even more angry with Cixi. But he dared to speak out after all. Later, after Eight-Nation Alliance withdrew from Beijing, Cixi returned to the palace. On the surface, Princess Zhen was made the imperial concubine, but in fact, her family salvaged the body and buried it hastily. Although Emperor Guangxu loved Zhen Fei deeply, he was helpless under the circumstances at that time, and he could not save himself, let alone Zhen Fei. It is a pity that he is still young.
