Graceful childbirth, the guards are rewarded
In 1935, when the puppet Manchurian palace was in power, Pu Yi inflicted punches and kicks on Empress Wanrong, who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy. Wanrong has nowhere to escape, so she can only plead as much as she can while protecting her big belly that is about to give birth.
However, Wanrong's action instead aroused Pu Yi's emotions, and he could not accept Wanrong's trampling on his manly dignity in the way of an illegitimate child. He even threatened to kill the child, but failed to do so.
In the end, Wanrong gave birth to a daughter. Incredibly, Pu Yi then had the child thrown into the boiler, causing Wanrong to go insane.
Wanrong, the last queen of the noble Qing Dynasty, died of illness in prison because of smoking cigarettes in the remaining days, and was thrown next to a stinky ditch. Why did she make such a horrific act as cheating and having an illegitimate child, but in the end it ended up with such a tragic ending?
It's all about her origins. In 1922, Pu Yi reached the age of 16, and after the concubines of the harem began to choose for him, the magnates asked people to tell the matchmaker, and finally won Wanrong.
However, her fate changed because of this, and she was doomed to a tragic end.
Wanrong, born in Zhengbaiqi, her father Rongyuan is the Minister of Internal Affairs, and her mother is the daughter of Sun Yuchang, the sixth emperor of Qianlong. The illustrious family background made the 16-year-old Wanrong selected by Duankang Guifei to become Puyi's queen.
Rongyuan's economic strength should not be underestimated, in order to obtain the queen's throne, he spent 200,000 taels to make connections. However, it was this noble identity that pushed Wanrong into the abyss.
In order to marry the queen, the Qing court put on a grand show, the four gates of the Forbidden City were opened, and the old and young gathered together to celebrate the wedding of the emperor and queen. However, on the wedding night, Pu Yi couldn't sit still in the face of the graceful appearance of the full makeup, and after removing the hijab, he panicked and left her alone in the wedding room, and he ran to the Palace of Raising the Heart to spend his wedding night.
In the empty heart cultivation hall, Pu Yi recalled the days after the wedding. Although he is no longer the emperor, he longs in his heart to be able to revitalize the Qing Dynasty, and the big wedding for him is to announce to the outside world that he is an adult and can be pro-government.
However, Wanrong in the new house was immersed in joy, and she did not expect that her future marriage would be lonely. However, their luxurious life after marriage and Pu Yi's favor temporarily covered up the undercurrent of contradictions.
Pu Yi loved Western culture, and Wanrong, who grew up in Tianjin and attended an American church school, was even more Westernized than Pu Yi, who was imprisoned in the Forbidden City.
Wanrong taught Pu Yi to watch movies, and also taught him to eat Western food, play tennis, and ride a bicycle.
Pu Yi's feelings for Wanrong gradually warmed up, and she became his confidant, satisfying her preferences and listening to her heart. Wanrong affectionately expressed her feelings for Pu Yi in English, bringing a special color to his life.
On the surface, their married life is happy and happy, and they enjoy the life of the queen gracefully. But in fact, Wanrong's heart is empty, and she longs for Pu Yi's company, but there is an insurmountable obstacle between them.
Wanrong began to smoke a big cigarette, using this way to relieve the pain in her heart. Her noble status makes her seem to enjoy a luxurious life, but the high walls of the Forbidden City imprison her freedom, making her heart full of contradictions and struggles.
In a conversation with Li Shuxian, Pu Yi frankly admitted his ignorance and fear in the relationship between husband and wife. During his long life in the palace, he was arranged by the eunuchs to be served by the elderly palace maids, which caused him to suffer physical injuries and develop a disgust and fear of women.
And this hidden illness also planted the seeds of crisis in his marital relationship with Wanrong.
After Pu Yi was expelled from the Forbidden City, he came to Tianjin with Wanrong. After leaving the palace, Wanrong enjoyed the freedom of a new life, shopping, perming, and going to the dance hall, completely immersed in material pleasures.
However, despite the abundance of material life, the relationship between the two did not improve because of this. Pu Yi was concerned about the mission of restoring the ancestral industry, and had no time to take care of Wanrong, which made Wanrong feel lonely and helpless.
As time passed, Wanrong's mental state gradually deteriorated, and she became more and more dependent on Dayan to fill the emptiness in her heart.
When Wen Xiu asked Pu Yi for a divorce, the conflict between the two people with a strained relationship intensified. Pu Yi believes that Wanrong's strength led to Wen Xiu's departure, but Wen Xiu explained at the negotiation scene that she is still ** and is usually abused.
Wen Xiu also warned Pu Yi not to believe Zheng Xiaoxu's words, otherwise he would lead the wolf into the room. This made Pu Yi very angry, and he picked up a feather duster and beat Wen Xiu, which made Wen Xiu's heart cold.
Although Pu Yi has an unshirkable responsibility for Wen Xiu's departure, he blames Wanrong for all the blame. From then on, he no longer paid attention to Wanrong. However, Wanrong still has hope for him, hoping that a monogamous life will bring new beginnings.
What Wanrong didn't expect was that Pu Yi, at the instigation of the Japanese, quietly went to the Northeast. Wanrong understood Pu Yi's eagerness to return to the country, and followed him to Dalian. She could have chosen to stay in Tianjin and wait and see, but she decided to follow Pu Yi.
This decision made her life gradually go to the abyss. On the way Wanrong was escorted to Dalian by Yoshiko Kawashima, her brother privately made a deal with the Japanese officers, acquiescing to their **Wanrong.
This incident brought a huge blow to Wanrong. Next, Wanrong discovers that although Pu Yi is the emperor of "Manchukuo", he is also under the control of the Japanese, and his words and deeds are restricted.
Japan's close surveillance of them made Wanrong realize the puppet nature of the puppet Manchurian government, and she had the idea of leaving the Northeast. In 1932, when the League of Nations Investigation Team went to Northeast China to investigate the Manchurian issue, Wanrong sent someone to secretly contact the Chinese representative Gu Weijun and ask him to help him escape from Northeast China.
Wanrong thought that if she could escape, she might be able to find a way to help Pu Yi escape.
Wanrong was in a difficult situation, and Gu Weijun was deeply sympathetic but unable to give more assistance. Wanrong did not give up, and the following year Wanrong asked someone to help go to Japan with her, but her escape plan was intercepted by the Japanese side, and Pu Yi also strengthened her vigilance.
After that, Wanrong's days became extremely empty, and she began to relieve her emotions with the help of big smoke, and at the same time began to cheat for solace. The first object of her derailment was Pu Yi's attendant Qi Jizhong, Qi Jizhong was Pu Yi's close attendant, and was later sent by Pu Yi to study at the Japanese Military Academy.
After Qi Jizhong left, Wanrong had a relationship with Pu Yi's other attendant, Li Tiyu. It wasn't until Wanrong was about to give birth that Pu Yi learned that Wanrong had cuckolded him.
The graceful red apricot coming out of the wall made Pu Yi mad with anger, but he didn't want the Japanese to know. So, he vented his anger on Wanrong, not only punching and kicking, but also threatening to kill the child.
In this rage, Pu Yi remembered something. He thought of Li Tiyu, the man who had lipstick on his mouth and dodged his eyes when he came to duty early in the morning. He also remembered the scene when he woke up in the middle of the night to look for medicine at the pharmacy, and found that Li Tiyu, who was supposed to be on the watch, couldn't find anyone anywhere, and then hurried up from downstairs in disheveled clothes.
All this made him very angry, and in the end, he found out about Wanrong and Li Tiyu's affair. Li Tiyu is the person next to Pu Yi and is very trusted by him, but Wanrong said that this child is not his.
This is not his child, so who is this child? Wanrong refused to reveal it.
Pu Yi once gave 400 oceans of heavy money and coercion, hoping to get some news from Li Tiyu, but Li Tiyu had no clue about it. In this case, Pu Yi reluctantly gave the 400 oceans to Li Tiyu as a hush money.
Soon after, Wanrong gave birth to a daughter, but due to long-term drug use, her physical condition was very bad, and the baby girl died only half an hour after birth. In order to prevent the news from leaking, Pu Yi ordered the baby girl to be thrown into a boiler and burned.
When Wanrong learns of her daughter's death, her spirit breaks down. In order to appease her, Pu Yi sent her to the cold palace and immediately married 17-year-old Tan Yuling as his successor.
Since then, Pu Yi's attitude towards Wanrong has become cold and he no longer cares about her life. Wanrong's mental state was up and down, and the amount of drugs she was taking was getting bigger and bigger, and every time the guards passed by her downstairs on patrol, she could smell the heavy smell of smoke.
Under the double blow of body and mind, Wanrong's health deteriorated rapidly, and later, she even reached the point where she could not see and her legs could not walk.
Wanrong is not vain, but the persistent pursuit of freedom, which makes her struggle between being a queen and fleeing. Although Pu Yi considered the status of empress to be extremely noble, for Wanrong, it was only a shackle that bound her, and she longed for freedom rather than being bound by the royal status.
Wanrong didn't want to let go of her status as a queen, but her yearning and pursuit of freedom made her make a choice.
Wanrong's last dignity is the fulfillment of the jailer. In 1945, Japan surrendered, Pu Yi**. Wanrong was sent to Tonghua and Changchun, and no one was willing to pick her up. Li Yuqin and Saga Hao's care kept her from losing her life.
However, Wanrong's condition deteriorated and she remained in Yanji Prison for the time being. She was ravaged by smoke, delirious, and incontinent.
Wanrong lost her mind due to the onset of cigarette addiction, and the jailer Li Yanxia, out of sympathy, brought her tobacco soil and boiled it into tobacco water to relieve her symptoms. However, despite his kindness, Wanrong's life was not prolonged, and she died alone with no one by her side.
Li Yanxia couldn't bear to see that her body was unburied, so he found a wooden board and nailed a coffin, carried Wanrong into the coffin again, and found a place to bury her.
Wanrong's only funeral item is her smoking gun that never leaves her.
Wanrong's life is full of sadness, she is the proud daughter of the sky, her identity, status, and talent are enviable. However, when she became queen, these glories became bondage.
Her father admonished her that she carried the honor of the family on her shoulders, even the interests of the harem and the nobility. She was proud of such a background, but when she saw the reality, she wanted to escape.
However, the development of the facts left her uncontrollable. She once said to her younger brother Runqi: "The queen is not a person, but a prisoner with no one to sympathize with." "The world only sees the glory of the phoenix-crowned dragon robe, but does not know that it is a bondage.
The inner courtyard of the palace is like a deep cage, and there will never be a day of liberation.
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang once said that in the future, the ordinary should be precious, and only the ordinary can be exchanged for the happiness of ordinary people. If you want to come to Wanrong, she will also choose the ordinary road, what is it? Looking forward to your message, with "The First Half of My Life" and "The Secret of the Forbidden City" as a reference.
