A.D. 16 12 Summala was born in an ordinary Mongolian family. Although she is Manchu, her status is very low. Later, she became a handmaiden of sourdrang queen in the Qing Dynasty and entered the harem life with her. However, the harem is a place where Kangxi often goes in and out. Therefore, the ladies-in-waiting served conscientiously, fearing that one day they would offend the son of heaven and punish themselves.
Sourdrang queen, who entered the palace, had a prince. Dong E was so envious after meeting him that he wanted to have a son with Kang Xi. Kangxi thinks that this son's non-goods can't be bought with money, and he needs me to help him. Kangxi knew that he was out of his depth, so he pointed out Tong Fei's Prince Michelle Ye to Dong Eshi as his adopted son.
Later, Princess Dong was unfortunately infected with smallpox, and she also transmitted the disease to Michelle Ye. They saw that there was no cure, and the news soon reached the ears of Queen Mother Xiao Zhuang, who was extremely angry. She turned and took Princess Dong out. But when Shunzhi heard about it, considering Dong E Fei's reputation and not wanting to expose her dirty laundry, she took Ma Su Lagu as a whipping boy and made up a bunch of reasons to blame her for the crime.
Some people think that the reason why the Empress Xiao Zhuang knew about this matter should be that she was reminded by the maid Ma Su Lagu, fanning the flames, which is also the reason why the matter of Dong E Fei has made a lot of noise. Because of the undeveloped medical technology, no one could cure smallpox in ancient times. Doctors are afraid of infection and dare not go near. As a result, they became terminally ill, and this disease happened to be transmitted to Xiaozhuang's beloved Mei Michelle Ye. Finally, in order to stop sourdrang queen, Shunzhi criticized her with her handmaid Ma Su Lagu. One is to punish Ma Su Lagu for gossiping, and the other is to make an example of him. I hope Queen Xiaozhuang will stop here and stop investigating the fault of Princess Dong, so as not to make everyone laugh at her.
So the eunuchs rushed into the queen mother's bedroom in Xiaozhuang and took Summala menstruation away. After the trial, she was justly accused of some crimes, blaming Sue malagu for all the crimes. After all the procedures are completed, it is announced that Summala Gu will be buried alive in the world. See, eunuchs quickly put Sumala Valley into sacks, then poured a lot of lime powder on her head, and finally threw her into the pit and buried her alive.
As for why lime powder should be sprinkled before being buried alive, it is mainly related to the environmental awareness of tombs in the Qing Dynasty. It is said that sprinkling lime powder can change the speed of decomposition of remains. In addition, lime is corrosive and can invade the skin to prevent odor and decay. Because the anti-corrosion technology in Qing dynasty was still very backward, lime was generally used to prevent moisture and sterilize. After all, the body has been buried underground for a long time, and it will rot and stink for a long time, and even turn into ptomaine oil. Therefore, in addition to simple burial, the Qing Dynasty also sprinkled a layer of lime on prisoners to achieve the effect of environmental protection and disinfection.
However, what I said above is not the real ending of Sumala Valley, but the adaptation of Kangxi Dynasty. In real history, Aunt Summala died of illness, and later the palace was renamed Aunt Summala. Although she was the handmaid of Empress Xiaozhuangwen, she lived for a long time and survived the four dynasties of Tiancong, Chongde, Shunzhi and Kangxi. Because she is proficient in Manchu and Mongolian, Summala was their teacher when Kangxi and Shunzhi were young. Finally, on September 7th, 44, Aunt Summala died of illness, and Emperor Kangxi buried her body in the tomb of Xiaozhuangwen, so they could be together.
