Zhen Fei WellⅡ

In 1900, Eight-Power Allied Forces drove into Beijing; Ci Xi held Empress Guangxu under duress and fled to Xian. Before their leave, she never forgot to let Concubine Zhenfei die. She ordered the eunuch governor to discharge Concubine Zhenfei and she also demanded Concubine Zhenfei to commit suicide via throwing themselves into well under the color of avoiding desecration when western aggressors entered Beijing. This eunuch leader had a nickname of Cuiminggui (催命鬼, A ghost that pushes one to their death. Metaphorically: Someone cruel and merciless such as a bully, a nasty official, or creditor who demands immediate payment, or a doctor who is not qualified and therefore kills.).
