How infatuated was Emperor Guangxu? There has never been a lucky woman after Concubine Zhen's death.

Emperor Guangxu was a very unfortunate monarch. He was separated from his biological parents when he was a child and was taken to the palace. Although he was the emperor, he was actually the puppet of the Empress Dowager Cixi throughout his life. Political ambitions cannot be realized, and love is difficult. After finally getting a baby princess who could talk and know her heart, she was thrown into a well and drowned by the vicious Empress Dowager Cixi.

Concubine Zhen, surnamed Tata, was born in Zhenghongqi, Manchuria, and her father was the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Concubine Zhen has been smart and active since she was a child, and she is also delicate and beautiful. Because she loves reading, she is more forward-thinking and open-minded.

In the fifteenth year of Guangxu's reign, Concubine Zhen and her sister Concubine Jin were selected into the palace and became the concubines of Emperor Guangxu. Because of Concubine Zhen's temperament and knowledge, Emperor Guangxu loved her very much, and the two had a deep relationship. All of Concubine Zhen's hobbies were accepted by Guangxu. For example, photography is prohibited in the palace, but Concubine Zhen likes to play with cameras. The princess was playful and even asked Guangxu to take off her dragon robe and put it on herself; in order to get more money, Concubine Zhen secretly sold her official position and accepted bribes, and was severely beaten by the Empress Dowager Cixi. But Emperor Guangxu knelt on the ground for two hours, begging Empress Dowager Cixi for mercy.

Zhen_ also has a wider range of ideological knowledge than ordinary women. She wholeheartedly supported Guangxu's political achievements and actively sought out talents to provide suggestions for the emperor's new reforms. All this made Guangxu very grateful and moved, and he regarded Concubine Zhen as his confidant.

In the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu's reign, before the British and French forces captured Beiping, Empress Dowager Cixi wanted to flee with Emperor Guangxu and Jade Dragon. Before leaving, she threw Concubine Zhen into a well and drowned because she was afraid of being insulted by foreigners and the royal family. The cowardly Emperor Guangxu watched his beloved woman die without daring to say a word.

The old palace maid Ronger said that since the death of Concubine Zhen, Emperor Guangxu's heart has completely died. I just stay silent every day and don't take medicine when I'm sick. Until Guangxu's death, he never blessed any woman.
