Concubine Zhen's Background and Life:
Concubine Zhen, Tatara clan, was born in Manchuria with red flags, and is the daughter of Changxu, the right attendant of the household. At the age of 19, she was selected as the palace concubine, and because of her well-behaved and lovely talents, she was deeply favored by Emperor Guangxu. However, her path to favor is full of thorns and hardships.
Pampering and the struggle of the court:
Concubine Zhen's entry into the palace brought a glimmer of life to Emperor Guangxu, but it also aroused the jealousy and disgust of other harems. Empress Longyu was resentful of her fall from grace, and used her position to put pressure on Concubine Zhen, and even frequently complained to Cixi and Lafayette. The internal struggle within the court became increasingly fierce, and Concubine Zhen became a victim of the palace dispute.

Faced with the struggle and pressure of the court, Concubine Zhen eventually became a victim of Cixi and Lafayette.

Her tragic fate highlights the brutality and ruthlessness of the court struggle.
Cixi and Galeries Lafayette's considerations:
Behind Concubine Zhen's punishment, Cixi and Galeries Lafayette have their own considerations and motives. Cixi hoped to warn the other harems by severely punishing Concubine Zhen and upholding the court and family lawLafayette, on the other hand, used Concubine Zhen's punishment to warn Emperor Guangxu and was dissatisfied with the relationship between Concubine Zhen and Emperor Guangxu.
The sad ending:
In the end, Concubine Zhen's fate was doomed to a tragic end. When the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing, she was taken by eunuchs to the well outside Ningshou Palace, and became a victim of the palace struggle.
