As the saying goes, "Cutting grass does not remove roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows".
Since Zhen Huan has fallen to Pingyang, why didn't Yi Xiu take advantage of her time in Ganlu Temple to find an opportunity to kill her, and never suffer in the future?
I think the reason why Yi Xiu was "merciful" was because she learned a tragic lesson after the "death of Chunyuan":The living can never fight the dead.
Although Chunyuan's body is dead, she lives on in the emperor's heart.
Not only that, but with the passage of time and the emperor's intention to use the "Chunyuan Empress" to PUA the concubines in the harem, Chunyuan was constantly "elevated", "beautified", and even "deified".
She went from a virtuous wife to a "goddess symbol" - pure, kind, able to sing and dance, reasonable, and forever young and beautiful.
No matter how beautiful a woman is, as long as she is alive, she will grow old and ugly one day. will do the wrong thing, will say the wrong thing, maybe one day will anger the emperor and be completely rejected.
The dead don't need to worry about that. Her "imperfections" and "little flaws" will become the "little tastes" and "little cuteness" in the emperor's memory.
In order to regain the feeling of the past, the emperor will collect "substitutes" similar to her, try to curry favor with this fake, and compensate her for all the things that are owed to the "original owner", as if in this way he can be redeemed.
Not only Empress Chunyuan, but Concubine Hua also left traces in the emperor's heart that could never be erased after her death, and she was buried with the etiquette of the imperial concubine.
When the emperor saw the unruly Ye Lanyi in the Old Summer Palace, he also regarded her as a "substitute" for Concubine Hua. He wanted to make up for Concubine Hua, so he was extra indulgent to Ye Lanyi. She is allowed not to salute the queen every day, and she is allowed to shuttle between the palaces at will, even Concubine Hua herself does not have such a privilege.
And Concubine Qi drugged Ye Lanyi, causing her to be unable to have children, which awakened the emperor's painful memories, reminding him of how he designed Concubine Hua to miscarry and used Huan Yixiang to make Concubine Hua infertile.
Yi Xiu is not a fool, of course she knows that letting Zhen Huan die is the safest thing to do. However, there are two "lessons from the past" placed there, and she knows very well in her heart: kill Zhen Huan today, what if there is another beauty with a similar appearance and personality to Zhen Huan tomorrow?
There will never be a shortage of women in the palace, and if there is another stand-in one day, this woman will probably become the most terrifying opponent in history - a "stand-in" with the double buffs of "Chunyuan" and "Zhen Huan" on her body, who can fight?
In fact, the screenwriter really set up such a character in the play early on, she is the second lady of the Zhen family, Zhen Yurao! A perfect goddess with a pure face and Zhen Huan's spirit.
So Yi Xiu won't, and he doesn't dare to kill Zhen Huan.
In the past, Madame Li, the favorite concubine of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, did not let him look at him before he died, no matter how the emperor prayed, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was so angry that he walked away, and Mrs. Li's family asked her: "Why do you want to make Your Majesty angry like this?" ”
Mrs. Li said: "Those who use beauty to serve others, the color is weak, and the love is slack, and the love is slack." If Your Majesty sees that I am not as good as I was then, how will she be kind to my family after my death? ”
Sure enough, after Mrs. Li died, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty always thought of this beloved concubine and took care of his family and brothers.
In Yi Xiu's plan, Zhen Huan had better live a miserable life in the temple, and after a few years, her face will wither, her beauty will no longer be beautiful, and she will be old. Even if the emperor changed his mind one day and went to visit her in Ganlu Temple, and saw her old and ugly face, I am afraid that he would only let out a sigh and forget her completely.
If the emperor can remind Chunyuan of his aging appearance by the way, maybe he can shake the status of the "goddess" in his heart, it will really kill two birds with one stone.
It's a pity that Yi Xiu didn't expect Zhen Huan to get the nourishment of love in Ganlu Temple, not only was she haggard and sad, but she was also spoiled as a little wife and had an "ectopic pregnancy". In the end, relying on Wen Shichu's "fairy jade girl powder", his appearance rejuvenated, he was favored by the emperor, and he returned to the Forbidden City again.
