In the court drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Meng Jingxian is a character that people love and hate. She was born in a famous family, smart and clever, but because of her deep affection for King Guojun, she embarked on a road of no return. Her life seems to be shrouded in an elaborate conspiracy, and until she dies unexpectedly, she never knows who is behind it.
Meng Jingxian did not hesitate to destroy her reputation in order to marry King Guojun, showing her scheming and determination. However, even though she succeeded in becoming the wife of King Guojun, she failed to win his heart. In King Guojun's heart, there is always only Zhen Huan alone. Meng Jingxian observed in the mansion that Huanbi was also currying favor with King Guojun, but she was keenly aware that King Guojun had no true feelings for Huanbi. In the end, she discovered the affair between King Guojun and Zhen Huan, which made the jealousy and unwillingness in her heart reach the extreme.
At a family banquet, Meng Jingxian suffered her bad luck. In the harem at this time, Zhen Huan was using the fetus in her womb to frame the queen and make the queen grounded. In order to avenge the queen, Jianqiu found Hedinghong and wanted to poison Zhen Huan. However, Zhen Huan already knew all this, and she skillfully arranged this family banquet, making Meng Jingxian a victim of this conspiracy.
At this family banquet, Hongzhan suddenly made a noise and asked his aunt Meng Jingxian to feed him soup. This seemingly accidental scene is actually the result of Zhen Huan's careful planning. She took advantage of Hongzhan's young ignorance and made him the trigger for this conspiracy. Without knowing it, Meng Jingxian took a small sip of soup and died of poison. Hongzhan was safe and sound because someone had tested the poison beforehand.
Zhen Huan's strategy can be described as killing three birds with one stone. She not only succeeded in getting rid of Meng Jingxian, a major trouble, but also used this incident to further suppress the queen's power. At the same time, she also caused a rift in the emperor's trust in the empress, laying the groundwork for the future abolition.
However, the truth of this conspiracy is always hidden in the depths of the court. Meng Jingxian didn't know until she died that the bowl of poisonous soup she drank was actually deliberately done by someone. Her death became a tragedy in the power struggle of the court. And the mastermind behind all this is the seemingly gentle and virtuous Zhen Huan, but in fact she is scheming.
