Empress Dowager Cixi was pregnant at the age of 46. The royal physician accidentally congratulated her and immediately "faded"?

Empress Dowager Cixi was a famous powerful woman of the Qing Dynasty. Many word-of-mouth reports say that she secretly raised favored men in the harem, even to get pregnant. However, no physician dared to reveal this news.

Empress Dowager Cixi was the most famous woman of the Qing Dynasty, the concubine of Emperor Ham Phong, the biological mother of Emperor Tung Chih. Cixi ruled the Qing dynasty for 47 years. Although she did not become emperor until her death, she was practically no different from the emperor.

There are many stories about her life that have been passed down, although the truth is unknown, but they all cause a stir and contain many mysteries.

In the 6th year of Guangxu, 1880, Cixi, then 46 years old, suddenly contracted a strange illness. Tu Hi feels back pain and fatigue every day, and sometimes falls asleep. In front of delicious food, Ci Hi suddenly no longer wanted to eat and every time she saw greasy food she felt nauseous, but liked to eat sour and spicy food.

As an experienced person, Tu Hi suspected that she was pregnant but was not sure. The maids and eunuchs around her were probably also suspicious, but no one dared to open their mouths to discuss it. Therefore, the Queen Mother ordered the royal physician to come for diagnosis and treatment.

The first royal physician who came to examine the patient was completely dumbfounded after checking his pulse, because Empress Dowager Cixi was not sick but was pregnant. This was a big scandal because Cixi had been a widow for many years. If she told the truth, she would easily face death, so she could only say that the Queen Mother had worked too hard and prescribed medicine to restore her health, but of course, she could not cure Cixi's illness.

The second royal physician, after checking the pulse, congratulated the Queen Mother on having a happy pulse (meaning she was pregnant), making Tu Hi angry, immediately ordered Ly Lien Anh to drag the royal physician out, even the surrounding maids and eunuchs were punished. contagious.

After meeting this royal physician, Cixi knew in her heart that the first doctor who examined her also knew she was pregnant, so she decided to eliminate her because she was afraid that the news that the Empress Dowager, who had been widowed for many years, was pregnant again, if it were revealed, would cause harm to the family. Thanh lost face.

Even though two royal doctors died, Cixi's "disease" still could not be cured. The royal doctors in the palace were also scared after the above incident, so the Queen Mother had to send a publicist to find a famous folk doctor to come and treat her. A famous physician named Tiet Phuc Than was nominated.

Tiet Phuc Than is not only good at taking pulses and treating diseases, but is also very understanding of world affairs. When he took the Queen Mother's pulse and realized she was pregnant, he immediately understood why the royal physicians in the palace could not do anything for them. I knew I was sick but I didn't dare say anything because I was afraid I would die. Therefore, Tiet Phuc Than told Ci Hi: "The Queen Mother only works too hard because of state affairs, causing blood and qi to stagnate and accumulate in the abdomen. She should move the qi and clear the meridians, so that the qi and blood circulate and clear the body. throughout the day, your body will definitely get better."

After hearing Phuc Than's words, Empress Dowager Cixi smiled and asked: "If you know the root of the disease, do you have a way to cure it?"

Phuc Than immediately understood the meaning of Tu Hi's words, so he prescribed medicine to abort her child. However, according to palace regulations, all prescriptions of the queen mother, emperor and concubines must be recorded. Phuc Than understood that the prescription he prescribed could not be known to anyone, so he lied that this was a family medicine and could not let anyone know, so he prepared and prepared the medicine himself.

After completing the preparations, Phuc Than brought medicine to Tu Hi, thereby helping her resolve the "worries" in her stomach. Tu Hi was very happy and rewarded Phuc Than. Even though she knew her secret could not be revealed, Ci Hi could not directly deal with the person who had just saved her.

Phuc Than also understood that if he knew the Queen Mother's secret, he would be eliminated, so he quickly asked to return to his hometown and pretended to be dead and mourned. After that, he quickly and secretly took his family members away from home and changed their names. When the Queen Mother's people came to eliminate the disaster, all information was gone, thanks to which Phuc Than was able to save his life.

Is it true that Empress Dowager Cixi is pregnant?

Above is the entire story told by folk, but is this true? The earliest record of Cixi's pregnancy is in the book Van Tran Nguu Ky. This is a set of books recorded by the Qing dynasty's human history, so the authenticity is not high, it is difficult to determine how many truths or lies are in it.

Some people believe that these rumors are true because "there is no smoke without fire". Many folk rumors seemed to be false but were eventually confirmed to be true, such as the case of Truong Hien Trung - the leader of the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, who was rumored to have buried a huge treasure.

In 2015, archaeologists actually discovered this treasure in the river. Therefore, the fact that Empress Dowager Cixi was pregnant could also be true.

However, there are also some people who don't believe it because Empress Dowager Cixi is ambitious for power and cannot easily let herself make loopholes for others to take advantage of. In addition, if Tu Hi was really pregnant, Phuc Than would have been eliminated long ago, not allowing him to easily return to his hometown.

Empress Dowager Cixi was a woman and held the main court, which also made many ministers and mandarins in the court unhappy but could not do anything, so she may have secretly poisoned the Empress Dowager. Furthermore, it is quite difficult for women at the age of 46 to still get pregnant. Not to mention that in ancient times, people at that time often had poor health and did not have a long life expectancy, so it was quite difficult for Tu Hi to be pregnant even though she was under 50.
