Tao Wangqing, a beautiful woman in the Western Han Dynasty, was boiled into a pot of porridge. Why did a stunning beauty end up like this?

This fate of Tao Wangqing is actually normal.

Because in the ancient harem, concubines used all means to compete for favor, always belittling others and raising themselves, and all kinds of intrigue emerged one after another. Tao Wangqing was famous all over the world before he was a concubine. After being known by the emperor, she was robbed into the palace and became the emperor's concubine.

At that time, the emperor was lustful and irritable, but it seems that the emperor changed after Tao Wangqing entered the palace. However, Tao Wang Qing spends most of her time in the harem, and it is not a simple matter to get the emperor's favor. Especially the gossip in the harem will only bring her trouble and make her in a difficult situation in the harem, and even the queen has become one of her resentments.

They are jealous of her beauty and her being loved by the emperor. Because of her existence, they will lose the opportunity to meet the emperor, so they will regard Tao Wangqing as a thorn in their side and look for opportunities to get rid of her, so they will lose their competitors.

Finally, they wait for the opportunity. They heard that Tao Wangqing was very close to the painter in the palace, which was their handle, so the queen told the emperor everything she heard. The emperor was impatient at first, but the queen kept spreading rumors, and the emperor became suspicious after listening to it many times.

We all know what the emperor can't stand most, and what he can't stand most is that his concubine is having an affair with others. At a reception, the emperor saw the lonely Tao Wangqing, and he just showed sympathy. So, he thought of the story that Tao Wangqing and the studio were ambiguous.

He couldn't help getting angry. Then the queen found that the emperor's attitude towards Tao Wangqing seemed to change and began to torture Tao Wangqing unscrupulously. She took her concubines and stripped Tao Wangqing naked in public, whipped her with a whip and branded her with a fiery red iron. Tao Wangqing couldn't bear it and threw himself into the well, but he was found and told the queen, who asked the servant to save Tao Wangqing from the well.

However, she still wants Tao Wangqing to die! So she asked the emperor to kill Tao Wangqing, perhaps because he was drunk. He picked up a whip and whipped Tao Wangqing under Bai Yueguang.

All kinds of punishments are round after round, and finally I am tired. Unexpectedly, they set up a big pot directly, threw Tao Wangqing in and cooked porridge. This is a classic example of a peerless beauty being tortured to death in the harem, which makes people have to sigh.
