She is the only woman in history to be martyred for the Shunzhi Emperor, and the last woman to be martyred in the Qing Dynasty! Seeing this, do you think that there must be a constant love between her and the Shunzhi Emperor? You're wrong! As we all know, the Shunzhi Emperor was a "top ten good man" who hurt his wife and did not seek career advancement, but his love was only aimed at his beloved Empress Dong Eshi, and for other women, he could not enter the eyes of the Son of Heaven!

So what is the origin of this woman who was martyred for her? The little donkey is coming to reveal the secret!
This daughter was from the Dong E clan, the daughter of the first class AdaHaha Fan Badu, she entered the palace at the age of 13 and became a member of the harem of the Shunzhi Emperor, and she was also the sister of empress Dowager Dong E! That's right, the Shunzhi Emperor was both her husband and her brother-in-law! This picture inexplicably feels familiar, didn't the Shunzhi Emperor's father, Emperor Taiji, also marry his own mother and aunt at the same time?
History is always strikingly similar, his father loves his aunt Hai Lanzhu the most, and Shunzhi himself also prefers his sister Dong Eshi more, is it that mature women are more attractive? Of course, this is not the point, although huang taiji prefers hailan zhu to bumubutai, but the good bumubutai gave birth to 4 children for the crown prince, and on the contrary, Shunzhi's concubine Dong Eshi, she did not have the half-limelight of her mother-in-law, she entered the palace for many years but never gave birth to a son and a half daughter, so it is impossible for her to rely on her children to enjoy the glory and wealth of the second half of her life like her mother-in-law, but who knows that she also took her own life because of her sister's relationship!
According to rumors, the Shunzhi Emperor's love for Empress Xiaoxian was a vigorous one, but such a special favor caused the dissatisfaction of the harem concubines and empresses, and as an emperor, he wanted to be rainy and dewy, but blindly favored, how to appease the court? But no one can take Shunzhi no way, later, Empress Xiaoxian has the crystallization of the love of two people, Shunzhi is even happier, every day baby, but people's luck always runs out, Empress Xiaoxian's child was born not long after it died, the xiaoxian empress who lost her child suddenly collapsed, and finally depressed, the good man lost his beloved wife after it was difficult to accept, so he saw through the red dust to get out of the house, this is not counted, before leaving the family, he actually violated the ancestral system, and posthumously named Dong Eshi as the empress of xiaoxian! Posthumously crowned his son as a prince! This was not tolerated at the time!
This series of crazy death moves of the Shunzhi Emperor completely angered the old mother, but she could not do anything with her own son, so after the death of the Shunzhi Emperor, she transferred all her anger to the Dong E family, in order not to implicate the clan and calm the anger of the empress, Dong E's concubine could only be buried with her body!
Of course, this is only a rumor of that year, and there is another rumor that Shunzhi once married two empresses of Horqin during his reign, and for these two Mongolian empresses, the Shunzhi Emperor always loved to ignore them, but Shunzhi could not sit on the throne without the support of the Mongolian ministries, so in order not to let the Mongol ministries lose confidence in the Qing court, Empress Xiaozhuang could only destroy the concubines to show her sincerity!
It's just that poor Concubine Zhen, when Shunzhi was alive, he only had his sister in his eyes, and Shunzhi was gone, but he was innocently implicated! After the martyrdom of Concubine Zhen, she did not enjoy the honor and favor after death, and she was buried under the Huanghua Mountain in Jixian County, while the sister of Dong Eshi, who was also Dong E, was buried together by Empress Xiaozhuang and the Shunzhi Emperor! From this point of view, Zhenfei can really be regarded as the most miserable imperial concubine in the Qing Dynasty! Not one of them!
In 1673, the Kangxi Emperor ordered the complete abolition of the bad practice of martyrdom! Concubine Zhen also became the last imperial concubine in history to be martyred!
