There is also a Wang Ningjin in the harem. This talent looks average, but she is good at calculating. She was also jealous of Cao's love and cursed Cao as a coquettish fox behind his back. Unexpectedly, this matter was soon known by Cao. Unwilling to be humiliated, Cao embellished Wang Ningqi's words and cried to Emperor Jiajing. When Emperor Jiajing heard this, he flew into a rage and immediately punished Wang Ningjin for collecting nectar (Jiajing believed in Taoism, and in order to cultivate immortality, he often asked the maid-in-waiting to collect all the alchemical drugs for him, and manna was one of them). Therefore, Wang Ningjin hated Cao deeply.
Wang Ningjin met the maid-in-waiting Yang in the process of collecting nectar. At this time, the ladies-in-waiting in the harem hated Emperor Jiajing because of the extremely heavy collection task, and they couldn't wait to kill the emperor to relieve their anger. In this way, Wang Ningmian had a plan to discuss with Yang how to get rid of Jiajing and his enemy Cao.
Sure enough, in October of the twenty-first year of Jiajing (1542), the famous "Renyin Palace Change" broke out in history. The specific process is as follows: Emperor Jiajing stayed in Cao's bedroom as usual that night. At midnight, they slept soundly. A dozen maids, including Yang and Su Chuanyao, came to the bed in the dark. Yang quickly put a rope around Emperor Jiajing's neck, and other maids helped to hold down Jiajing's struggling body. They even tied it with a hairpin. After a while, Jiajing was still covered in blood. . .
Looking at Cao who woke up from a deep sleep. She has turned pale and stupefied with fear. What Yang didn't expect was that when the maid-in-waiting was killed, a timid maid-in-waiting reported the matter to Queen Fang. Just when everyone saw that the emperor was out of breath, Queen Fang arrived in time with her guards and caught a group of people red-handed.
What Yang didn't expect was that Emperor Jiajing didn't die, but she was in a coma. Because the emperor was seriously injured and unconscious, he could not handle the matter by imperial edict, and the Queen Fang exercised her powers on her behalf and asked all the reasons. Maid-in-waiting Yang quickly confessed that Wang Ningjian was the mastermind, and Wang Ningjian took this opportunity to insist that Cao was also an accomplice. Queen Fang has always been jealous of Cao. This is a good chance to get rid of her. Besides, the murder happened in her bedroom. Even if it is not the mastermind, it must be that she knows that the maid-in-waiting secretly murdered the emperor. If she knows and doesn't take the initiative to expose it, this is called not reporting it. Poor and innocent Cao was sentenced to death before she woke up from the shock, and she didn't even have a chance to redress her grievances.
The next day, the punishments received an order from Queen Fang, tying Cao, Wang Ningjian, maid-in-waiting Yang, etc. with 1000 knives and taking them to the execution ground. After their death, they were beheaded and made public, and relatives in the family were also implicated, and many people were executed.
When Emperor Jiajing woke up, he understood the whole story. He didn't believe that Cao would do this to himself, but people are dead, and it's no use regretting it. However, after this great change, because of Cao's wrongful death, Emperor Jiajing was often in a trance and always felt that a spectre was torturing him in the harem.
