The Qing Dynasty was the last dynasty in China's thousands of years of feudal society, we all know that from the beginning of the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty was constantly controlled by imperialism, and then the last emperor established the puppet state of Manchukuo and finally failed, which also announced the final demise of the Qing Dynasty, but when the Qing Dynasty fell, what happened to the last empress?
In 1946, a howl of pain was often heard in a prison in Jilin Province. Why did she howl? Maybe you've already guessed that this anguished howling man was none other than the last empress, Guo Buluo Wanrong. But why did the last empress fall into prison after the fall of the Qing Dynasty? And what about screaming in pain day and night?
In 1906, Guo Buluo Wanrong was born into a family of official eunuchs, and her father served as minister of civil affairs and minister of military aircraft, so she was arranged to become Puyi's empress when she grew up. In 1922, Puyi and Guo Buluo Wanrong were married. The two lived a very harmonious life after marriage, and Puyi felt that Guo Buluo Wanrong was very young and energetic, and she was very good-looking, so she was very pampered.
At that time, Empress Wanrong wanted to learn English, so Puyi asked foreign teachers to learn English for her, and Empress Wanrong wanted to learn to ride a bicycle, so Puyi bought all kinds of expensive bicycles for her, and Wanrong liked to ride horses, so the palace always had some good BMWs for her to play.
But after a long time, Empress Wanrong gradually felt dissatisfied, because she wanted an emperor who really loved her deeply, but the emperor could never do this. At that time, although Puyi loved her, everything she had was not unique, on the contrary, Puyi would always remember to prepare a copy of his noble concubine Wenxiu.
Not only that, this embroidery will accompany the emperor almost every moment, as long as it is a banquet activity that can be attended by the level of a noble concubine, then the emperor must be indispensable to her. These things made Empress Wanrong very annoyed and depressed. So she began to borrow cigarettes to dispel her sorrows, and later smoking could not satisfy her, so she began to smoke opium.
Gradually, Empress Wanrong became addicted and could no longer quit opium, and fed on opium all day. In March 1932, Puyi defected to Japan and established the puppet state of Manchukuo, and Empress Wanrong was ostensibly married to him, but at this time it was not worthy of the name, and Puyi also asked Empress Wanrong not to step out of the palace.
Later, in 1935, Puyi learned that he was going to be a "father", which made his relationship with Empress Wanrong come to an end completely. The reason is that Empress Wanrong should not have been pregnant at that time, so what is this all about?
At that time, when Empress Wanrong and Puyi's feelings were gradually estranged, her brother began to induce her to have a relationship with Puyi's bodyguard Qi Jizhong for some purpose. However, this relationship did not last long, and the bodyguard was sent by Puyi to a Japanese officer school.
However, Empress Wanrong did not be vigilant or control herself, but instead had a private relationship with another guard again, this time Empress Wanrong had bad luck and she was pregnant.
At that time, Puyi had not been by her side during that time, so it was impossible to have a relationship with her, so later Puyi came back to find that Wanrong was not only pregnant, but also about to be in the basin, he was furious. Puyi of course could not accept that he was wearing a green hat and had to help other men raise children. Therefore, Puyi first severed relations with his two bodyguards, and then needed to divorce Empress Wanrong, but unfortunately, at that time, Puyi was under the control of the Japanese, and this matter was not something that Puyi alone could decide.
Later, when Wanrong's child was about to be born, she also knelt down and begged Puyi to admit that the child was his own, but Puyi was not stupid, and he would not help this woman again. Puyi proposes that he will not recognize the child, but that the child can be raised by her own brother.
After this, Wanrong completely lost her freedom and was trapped in the room in the building all day, no one came to see her, and she was trapped here alone. At this time, she was like a prisoner, she smoked opium every day in order to numb herself, and for a long time her legs could not move, and then she disappeared for a long time and her eyes were blind.
After a few years, Wanrong went crazy and became a crazy woman who no one knew. In August 1945, China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was victorious, and the Japanese openly surrendered to China, so Puyi could only abdicate, and Wanrong was naturally not Puyi's empress.
Later, these former nobles of the imperial palace were sent to the public security bureau of Tonghua City at that time, and Wanrong was also among them. At that time, Wanrong had no supply of opium and would scream in pain every night.
Conclusion: In 1946, the once-honorable last empress finally turned into a crazy woman and died in this prison. This is also extremely lamentable, she was once a woman with advanced ideas, born noble, but in the end she lived by smoking opium, and finally died of illness in prison because of poor diet.
