Shunzhi Emperor
On 12 November 1657, Lady Donggo gave birth to the emperor's fourth son. The premature death of their son on 25 February 1658 had a great impact on Lady Donggo and the Shunzhi Emperor. Lady Donggo fell ill and died on 23 September 1660. The Shunzhi Emperor was so overwhelmed with grief that he stopped attending daily court meetings for five days to mourn Lady Donggo. It was also said that the Shunzhi Emperor was so depressed that he wanted to commit suicide, and his subjects had to watch over him every day for fear of his safety. Two days after her death, Lady Donggo was posthumously granted the title of Empress, an uncommon gesture. She was interred in the Xiao Mausoleum of the Eastern Qing tombs.
