Cixi threw Zhenfei into the well before taking the Guangxu Emperor to flee west, and finally the Guangxu Emperor's favorite concubine unfortunately drowned, and now the well where Zhenfei was buried has become a scenic spot in the Forbidden City, and many tourists have questioned it when they visited, because this wellhead is so small that adults can't fall into it, so how was Zhenfei thrown into the well at that time?
The Guangxu Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was full of tragedies in his life, in fact, he himself was very talented and had a heart of hard work, he wanted to change the status quo of the country and had made efforts, but he had no real power and had been overridden by Empress Dowager Cixi, so he not only could not protect his courtiers, but even his most beloved woman could not protect, after Zhenfei was thrown into the well by Cixi, the Guangxu Emperor had long been disheartened.
Later, after the founding of New China, the Forbidden City became a museum, two 70-year-old eunuchs assisted in sorting out the work of the Forbidden City, when Zhenfei was given death by Cixi, they were at the scene, according to their recollections at that time, the change of law had failed, Guangxu was imprisoned, Zhenfei was beaten into the cold palace, when the Eight-Nation Alliance immediately invaded Beijing, so Cixi took Zhenfei to the well, and told her that the foreigners would call immediately, you could not avoid humiliation, or cut it yourself, jump down.
At that time, Zhenfei resolutely refused to comply, and Cixi confronted her, saying that only the emperor had the right to execute her, she did not want to commit suicide, after the two quarreled, Cixi let a eunuch named Yugui put Zhenfei into the well, at that time the wellhead was very large, so it was easy to throw the well, and later the Palace Museum was established to prevent accidents, and the wellhead was reinforced and made so small. And the body of Concubine Zhen was also salvaged and reburied after the empress dowager returned to the palace.
