You're Dead to Me · Empress Dowager Cixi (Radio Edit) · 3 Jul 2026 podcast

It's also the one that the Empress Ci'an likes.

It's a ranking family, political marriage, but this is a pretty girl, very well educated, knew how to be empress and all that.

Yeah, the official was smallpox.

Okay.

But because he's got spots all over the place and his body was kind of rotting, we think it's syphilis.

Yeah, so for her to continue to be Empress Dowager, she needs another son.

Okay.

So where did she get the other son?

Remember her sister was also in the beauty contest.

And the sister was married off to the brother of the emperor.

So it's her own nephew from both sides.

Yeah.

And a lot of man-child nobles were against this.

Because this is not natural.

And before we go there, her daughter-in-law, remember, her son had an empress, the one she didn't like.

She was actually pregnant.

Ah, this pregnant Empress Dowager, Empress, who was about 18, 19 years old, died three months after the Tongzhi Emperor died.

Very suspicious timing.

She was pregnant.
