Twenty years after Daoguang, in 1840, she had only just been promoted to empress, for which it was said that she was related to a poisoning case, but her method of death had a different theory, so let's take a look at it together.
Empress Xiaoquan was beautiful and intelligent, and was deeply favored by the Daoguang Emperor, and after entering the palace, she rose to the position of empress that was unattainable to everyone, and when Daoguang was twenty years old, the Daoguang Emperor was more than 60 years old, and the question of the succession to the throne was a problem he had to consider. At that time, there were two suitable candidates: one was the fourth son of the emperor born to Empress Xiaoquan, and the other was the sixth son of the emperor born to Concubine Jing. For the women of the emperor, they were all mothers and sons, and when Empress Xiaoquan heard the rumors that the emperor wanted to establish the sixth prince, this made her very worried, so she found an opportunity to start his next strategy - poisoning.
One day, Empress Xiaoquan invited the princes in the palace, before the banquet, told her son, that is, the fourth prince not to eat fish, the fourth prince knew the reason and was rarely surprised, but did not say anything, during the banquet, when the sixth prince stretched out the chopsticks to catch the fish, the chopsticks had not yet arrived, and the feet were really kicked. When the eleventh prince wanted to catch the fish, he also listened to his "oops" sound. After that, the wise princes never caught the fish again, and the queen's plot was destroyed by her own son. This matter was known to Empress Xiaohe, and the empress dowager was furious and asked Emperor Daoguang to give Empress Xiaoquan herself, and finally Empress Xiaoquan had to commit suicide in order to save her son. But many history books only say that she died suddenly.
But there is also a saying that filial piety was killed by filial piety and empress dowager poisoning with medicinal liquor. The Daoguang Emperor chatted with the empress dowager and talked about Empress Xiaoquan's intelligence and talent, but Empress Xiaohe did not express affirmation but said: "A woman without talent is virtuous, and only with virtue can she be blessed." Not long after, the queen knew this, and she was very unhappy in her heart. Since then, there has been a contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the concubines in the harem are jealous of the empress and manipulate right and wrong in front of the empress. The empress dowager became even more disgusted with the empress.
The Empress went out to play, suffered from a cold and cold, and did not ask the Empress for peace for several days. The empress dowager visited the empress herself, and the empress was very moved. Empress Xiaoquan felt that she did have something wrong with the empress dowager before. In the first month of the twentieth year of Daoguang, Empress Xiaoquan had a good cold, and she went to ask the empress dowager for peace, and talked a lot, feeling that they had resumed their previous mother-in-law relationship. But the next day, the empress dowager ordered someone to send a good bottle of wine to the queen, and the queen was very happy, so she drank a cup at that time, and on this night the queen suddenly died violently.
Empress Xiaoquan's two "violent deaths" theory, which is true, which is false, or there are other claims, have to be guessed by posterity.
