The truth about the Queen living in a "pig sty" and having an affair with a soldier was revealed, and later generations were shocked to hear it.

After escaping from the so-called "pig pen", this Empress was said to have disappeared without a trace. It was not until Nurhaci's descendants read a book that they discovered her whereabouts.

Although she was the main queen, the life of Uyên Dung, the last Empress of the Qing Dynasty, was a series of tearful tragedies. Born into the noble Dat Oa family, she grew up in luxury and received a comprehensive education in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and poetry.

An outstanding woman like Uyen Dung should have found a family of equal social standing or a man she loved to marry. But unexpectedly, her father had another plan, which was to have Uyen Dung enter the palace to participate in the selection of concubines, becoming the emperor's concubine.

Afterwards, thanks to her father's efforts and a series of underhanded schemes, Wanrong successfully passed the imperial examination and became Pu Yi's concubine. Just like that, the two never met, only for the benefit of their two families. Her stunning beauty and noble background made her a strong candidate for the position of Empress in the eyes of the ministers.

So when King Pu Yi was 16, the ministers quickly chose Wan Rong to be the one to hold the harem. In the early days of their marriage, the emperor and empress lived happily like any other newlywed couple. They dated shyly, rode bicycles together in the Forbidden City, wrote poems to each other, and affectionately called each other by their English names. That was probably the happiest time in Wan Rong's life.

However, the happiness was short-lived. In 1924, due to the invasion of the warlords, Pu Yi was forced to take Wan Rong out of the imperial palace and live in Jingyuan in Tianjin. This was not simply a departure from the palace, but also the beginning of Pu Yi's loss of power, no longer the supreme emperor.

From Tianjin to Manchukuo: The Tragedy Begins

Although the warlords overturned every tile, took away and destroyed valuables in the palace, Pu Yi was helpless. In his desperation, the Japanese came and lured him. To the Japanese, Pu Yi was just a puppet, but because he wanted to restore the empire so much, Pu Yi fell into their trap despite Wan Rong's dissuasion. The relationship between husband and wife gradually cracked during these events.

The climax was when Wenxiu, Pu Yi's concubine, asked for a divorce, causing him to collapse and creating an irreparable rift with Wanrong. In this situation, Wanrong naturally lost Pu Yi's favor and care. She began to fall into the temptation of opium and became emaciated and unrecognizable. When Pu Yi found out, he locked her in her room.

Every day, Uyen Dung could only stay in here, living a lonely and empty life. This made her more and more depressed, the whole room reeked of cigarette smoke, garbage stench everywhere, no different from a literal "pig sty".

Wan Rong stayed here for ten years, loneliness, mental emptiness and physiological needs later led her to have an affair with a guard named Qi Ji Zhong. The two even had a child together. However, their child later died. According to Sohu and Sina, it was Qi Ji Zhong who took the initiative to approach Wan Rong.

Even though she no longer lived in the palace, Wanrong still enjoyed special privileges and attentive service. She was always surrounded by many palace maids, eunuchs, and even people planted by other forces. How could she risk doing such an immoral thing?

As for guard Qi Jizhong, he was different. He had already joined the Japanese army and was tasked with monitoring Pu Yi. He also knew about Pu Yi's illness and had always coveted Wan Rong. Therefore, he took advantage of the opportunity to sneak into Wan Rong's room. Everything that happened next seemed inevitable.

The story between Empress Wanrong and guard Qi Jizhong finally reached Pu Yi's ears. Pu Yi was extremely angry and wanted to punish both of them, but he could not do anything to Wanrong because she was the victim. In the end, Pu Yi had to give Qi Jizhong 400 oceans to shut him up and chase him away.

As for Wanrong, she was guarded more strictly by Puyi until her younger brother Runqi found a way to rescue her. Although she was rescued, Wanrong could not escape her cruel fate. Because she was Puyi's empress, and Puyi was guilty of treason, she was also imprisoned.

In 1945, Uyen Dung, now mentally broken, was taken to many prisons and other places. Her life seemed to have ended there. After months of wandering, she disappeared, no one knew where she went. As time passed, the name Uyen Dung was gradually forgotten.

However, even if the whole world had forgotten her, Nurhaci's descendants, the people of the ancient Qing Dynasty's royal family, had not forgotten her. Aisin Gioro Zaiying had always been persistent in searching for Wanrong's whereabouts, hoping to find clues about her resting place. He had secretly visited Changchun many times, not missing any trace. After spending a lot of money and effort, he only found information that Wanrong died in Yanji Prison.

The search lasted 50 years and the truth was revealed

Tai Doanh wanted to personally investigate, but when he learned about the incident, he was over 70 years old and no longer healthy. Reluctantly, he handed the matter over to his son, Duc Trung. Inheriting his father's last wish, Duc Trung continued to search for many years. Finally, heaven did not disappoint him, in 2008, he found the answer from a man named Ly Cuong.

After getting to know De Chong, Li Gang gave him a book about his family history. In this book, De Chong was surprised to find records of how the elders in Li Gang's family took care of Empress Wanrong.

It turned out that after being detained in Yanji Prison, the people who took care of Wanrong were Li Gang's uncle and aunt. Seeing how pitiful she was, they helped her a lot in prison. However, due to her opium addiction, Wanrong eventually passed away in agony.

The people in prison did not want to deal with her, so they just used a mat to roll her body up and threw it out. It was the two uncles of the Li family who found wooden planks to make a coffin for her, took her to a small ditch a short distance from Yanji Prison, and buried her properly. The father and son, De Chong and Zai Ying, searched for 50 years and finally found the truth.
