After Concubine Qi was beaten to death with a stick, Su Peisheng asked her to be dragged to a mass grave and thrown away.
And the last shot of her lying on the cart is a pair of bare feet.
And these naked feet are Zhen Huan's most ruthless revenge on her, which humiliates the entire Guerjia family.
Why is a pair of bare feet the biggest humiliation for Concubine Qi? You can take a look at Zhen Huan's two experiences.
At Princess Wenyi's first birthday banquet, Zhen Huan didn't like the noisy scene at the banquet, so she sneaked out with Liuzhu to breathe fresh air.
Walking to a river, Zhen Huan looked at the fish in the water, and suddenly became playful, forgetting the palace rules and etiquette, taking off her shoes and socks, and sitting on the stones by the river to play in the water.
But he didn't want his center of gravity to be unstable, and almost fell into the water, at this time, Guojun Wang, who had been drinking beside him and was secretly observing her, rushed up in time and dragged Zhen Huan up.
Seeing Zhen Huan stepping back vigorously, trying to cover his feet with his clothes, he teased Zhen Huan's slender **.
Zhen Huan regretted her rash move of taking off her shoes and socks at this time, she knew that the palace rules were strict, and if someone saw her bare feet and a man saw her, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, King Guojun is not as frivolous as she sees, he is actually proficient in Wentao and martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but because the emperor is suspicious, in order to protect himself, he can only be a frivolous gentleman.
And Zhen Huan was afraid that she would take off her shoes and socks and let people see it, and she was told that Liuzhu couldn't let people know about it, and she must keep her mouth shut.
Zhen Huan was fortunate to meet the gentleman King Guojun, otherwise, her reputation would be ruined, not only herself, but even the Zhen family would be affected.
And Zhen Huan went to Yimei Garden on Chinese New Year's Eve to pray for blessings, and came to Yimei Garden to remember the emperor of Empress Chunyuan, and the emperor happened to hear her wish "against the wind is like understanding, easy to destroy", and was very interested in this talented woman.
Through the shadowy branches, he looked at the woman under the plum tree, as if she had been Chunyuan.
The emperor couldn't help but ask Zhen Huan: What's your name?
And Zhen Huan has been pretending to be sick since entering the palace, not daring to reveal his identity, only deniing that he is a palace maid, and his cheap name may stain his ears.
The emperor still wanted to come forward to see what was going on, but Zhen Huan hurriedly said that his shoes and socks were wet and were changing.
The emperor immediately stopped, he knew that the woman's feet could only be shown to her husband, and although he was the emperor, he had to take care of this woman's reputation.
The emperor paid attention to the fact that "women's naked feet" could not be looked at casually, because this was a major event that affected a woman's "reputation for chastity".
Why is Zhen Huan so cruel to Concubine Qi?
When Concubine Qi first entered the palace, Zhen Huan was being favored, she took the initiative to make friends with Zhen Huan, and she didn't even say hello to Zhen Huan, she directly asked the queen to move to Zhen Huan's Broken Yuxuan.
Concubine Qi is not stupid, she knows that the emperor often goes to Shayuxuan to see Zhen Huan, and she can rub the emperor's favor here with Zhen Huan.
After Zhen Huan was punished by Concubine Hua for kneeling and having a miscarriage, the emperor took into account Nian Qianyao's great power and did not severely punish Concubine Hua, Zhen Huan was discouraged and alienated from the emperor, and Concubine Qi saw Zhen Huan fall out of favor, and immediately turned her face and denied people.
And under the instruction of his father Emin, he hugged the queen's thigh and dealt with Zhen Huan together.
And Emin also framed Zhen Yuandao in the court for secretly hiding money and famous poems, causing the Zhen family to be exiled to Ningguta, and Zhen Yuandao almost lost his life.
Zhen Huan went to Ganlu Temple to practice, but the queen still didn't let her go, and Concubine Qi, who understood the queen's meaning, explained that Master Jingbai didn't have to treat Zhen Huan well, and let her fend for herself.
When Zhen Huan returned to the palace from Ganlu Temple, the emperor also let the Zhen family return to the capital.
The queen deliberately instigated Concubine Qi, Zhen Huan is back, and she will definitely take away the emperor's favor from you.
After Concubine Qi saw Zhen Huan come back, the emperor didn't want to see her anymore, she was indignant, she often scolded Zhen Huan behind her back, but Zhen Huan laughed when she heard it.
Zhen Huan knew that it was not interesting to beat the snake and hit her seven inches, and it was not interesting to punish her without pain or itching, but it seemed that she who had just returned to the palace was not tolerant.
When Xin Guiren told Zhen Huan that the emperor occasionally went to her palace, Concubine Qi always said that she had a nightmare, and every time she called the emperor away.
One day, Zhen Huan took advantage of the emperor's presence at Concubine Qi to send a large pot of brown rice soup with barley seeds to Concubine Qi, telling her that this was specially for curing nightmares and asked her to drink it.
The emperor knew that Zhen Huan was taking Qi Concubine under the knife, and he was currying favor with Zhen Huan, so he said to Qi Concubine who was unwilling to drink barley brown rice soup, if she didn't drink it, it meant that she was pretending to be sick.
How dare Concubine Qi admit that she pretended to be sick, it was a crime of bullying, so she had to grit her teeth and drink it.
Zhen Huan used Concubine Qi as a target, the purpose was to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys, so that people in the palace who had their own thoughts knew that she was no longer the Zhen Huan of the past.
Zhen Huan governed Concubine Qi, not only because Concubine Qi scolded her behind her back, but because Concubine Qi's father, Emin, had been letting Concubine Qi follow the queen to fight Zhen Huan, and he wanted his daughter to overpower Zhen Huan, so that he could knock Zhen Yuandao down again in the court.
Zhen Huan returned to the palace for the sake of the safety and happiness of her family's future life, how could she tolerate Emin and Concubine Qi to send the Zhen family to hell again.
In order to protect herself, Zhen Huan also has to fight back.
Concubine Qi is an embroidered pillow used by the queen, and under the instruction of the queen, she exposed Zhen Huan's fornication with Wen Shichu, and swore by the life of the entire family.
She originally thought that what the queen asked her to do must be no problem, but she didn't expect the queen to let her be this up-and-coming bird because she was not sure.
Therefore, when she swore that Zhen Huan's guilt, the queen sat there and watched the tiger fight, as if she was out of the matter.
And she believed in the queen, until she found out that she was beaten into the cold palace, the queen did not say a word for her, and she did not dare to say that the queen was behind the scenes, because she was afraid that she would anger the queen, and the queen would not care about her.
Concubine Qi didn't know that since she failed to report Zhen Huan, she was a useless person in the eyes of the queen, and the queen at this time wished that the emperor would kill her, so that she would not affect herself.
But when Concubine Qi heard in the cold palace that the Guerjia family was purged by the emperor's decree, her father was beheaded, and her family was exiled.
She desperately ran to the queen's Jingren Palace, banged on the palace door desperately, and asked the queen for help, but the queen, who she once thought treated her like a sister, ordered the palace door to be closed and ignored her at all.
With nothing to do, she ran to the door of the emperor's heart palace again, crying and begging the emperor for mercy.
When she didn't get a response, she didn't choose her words, not only insulting Zhen Huan, but also saying that the emperor believed in Zhen Huan and wronged the courtiers who were loyal to him.
As soon as he said this, the emperor couldn't bear it, didn't he say that he was a faint king, he regarded work as his life, and he went to the harem very little, he was so diligent, how dare Concubine Qi talk nonsense? Letting her live is not good for her reputation.
The emperor asked Su Peisheng to tell her that she had served her for many years and would not take her life, just drive her away.
Su Peisheng has served by the emperor's side all his life, and he understands what the emperor didn't say.
Concubine Qi has already offended the emperor's scales, and she must not be able to keep it, Su Peisheng asked Concubine Qi to be dragged to a distance and beaten to death with a stick, and after instructing him, he spat in the direction of Concubine Qi.
Su Peisheng also hated Concubine Qi, he always remembered that on the night of the blood confession, Concubine Qi asked the emperor to torture Jinxi, who was protecting Zhen Huan, saying that Jinxi would tell Zhen Huan's secret if he couldn't bear the beating.
Heaven is a good reincarnation, and now it is the turn of Concubine Qi to suffer retribution.
Concubine Qi died tragically in the rain, her body lying on the cart in tattered clothes, her bare feet striking.
At that time, a woman's feet belonged to private parts and could only be seen by her husband, but now that she is dead, she can only be seen barefoot by countless people, which is the most severe humiliation for her.
Coincidentally, the queen and a group of concubines happened to see Concubine Laqi's cart passing by, she did not have the slightest pity, but said indifferently that in the palace, there is only one way to die for useless people.
Conclusion
Concubine Qi is dead, for her, who was once favored, she shouldn't even have a pair of shoes, and she was barefoot when she ran out of the cold palace.
It can be said that what made her situation so embarrassing should be Zhen Huan's meaning.
Because, the queen will not rush to touch the head at this time, Concubine Qi is in the cold palace, and she can't threaten herself, not to mention that the rabbit bites when she is in a hurry.
Only with Zhen Huan's instructions, Su Peisheng had the courage to let the emperor's former woman barefoot, and he didn't even give her the last bit of dignity.
