Madame is as charming as a flower

Chapter 753 The past of Concubine Zhen.

The love of the emperor lies in the fact that the rain and dew are sprinkled evenly, and the common people are blessed.

Concubine Zhen, who was in full bloom in the past, did not cherish God's favor for her, but gradually became proud of her favor, dissatisfied with the annual salary of 300 taels of silver, and recommended officials to Guangxu to receive bribes from officials.

Concubine Zhen was at fault for this matter.

If she could keep her duty, how could she be stripped of her clothes and reduced to a nobleman?
How could he be hated by the old lady?
This is all caused by Concubine Zhen herself, who can she blame?

"Then Cixi has adjusted her position?"

Xiao Xizi growled in a stern tone: "The family law of the ancestors says that the throne cannot be inherited by siblings. In order to continue to listen to the government behind the curtain, Cixi chose Emperor Guangxu as the emperor. Isn't it because she wants to grasp the power of the government?"

Zhenzhu'er is so kind, she just wants to help the emperor, whether it's helping him win over the emperor's faction or suppressing the latter's faction, she is willing to do it.

"Do you know what kind of life Master Zhen lived in the cold palace?" She sneered sadly, "You high-ranking relatives of the royal family, of course you don't know!"

The gate of the cold palace is usually closed. If outsiders want to enter, they must have the emperor's or queen mother's will. Otherwise, the old eunuch guarding the gate will not let anyone in.

Of course, except for the palace people who are in charge of taking care of the cold palace.

Concubine Zhen's room was at the west end of the cold palace. The door was tightly locked with a big lock from the outside, and only one of the several windows could be opened.

On weekdays, whether it is washing water, meals, or the entry and exit of the toilet, it is all carried out through this window.

Only the small window can see a glimmer of light.

In addition to losing the most basic personal freedom, she can't talk to the servants, and even her food is the lowest, the same as the food of the palace maids and eunuchs, sometimes even moldy and rotten food.

The most distressing thing is that on the first and fifteenth day of each month, as well as during festivals, the Empress Dowager Cixi will specially assign an old eunuch to scold Concubine Zhen.

This kind of reprimand is routine, and the time is chosen before lunch.

The old eunuch would point at Concubine Zhen's nose and face and reprimanded her harshly, which was even worse than cursing.

During the reprimand, Concubine Zhen had to kneel down, and after the reprimand, Concubine Zhen had to kowtow respectfully to thank her before she could eat.

Become a prisoner who can be bullied even by the courtiers.

Xiao Xizi will always remember those days.

On cold moonlit nights, tree shadows scattered messily on the stone slabs in the courtyard of Jingqi Pavilion, sparse and mottled, and the thin Concubine Zhen looked at the bright and chilling moon with a haggard face, looking at herself with pity and a gloomy mood. .

There is no freedom.

There is no love, only loneliness, only longing.

Concubine Zhen waited for a miracle to happen in the cold palace, and lost weight day by day. Only when her sister Concubine Jin secretly sent a few pieces of clothes to keep out the cold and a change of clothes, or some news about what happened outside, could Concubine Zhen feel warm.

But as the sound of Concubine Jin's footsteps disappeared, her heart once again sank into the eternal abyss that could never be restored.

Finally, when the Allied forces invaded the imperial city, Cixi escaped with the princes, nobles, relatives, eunuchs and court ladies, and even concubine Jin was taken away, but she ordered that concubine Zhen be cruelly thrown into the well.

She was watching from a distance, tightly covering her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound, she saw the well water submerged Concubine Zhen, bubbling and bubbling.

Since then, a wisp of Concubine Zhen's fragrance has dissipated.
