Huang Fei (d. 1421)

Huang Fei (1390s–1421), was an Imperial concubine of Yongle Emperor.[1]

She was from Korea, and became a member of the Imperial harem of Yongle Emperor in 1409. She was sent unwillingly to the harem. Upon her arrival, she was interrogated and admitted not to be a virgin and to have had two lovers, one her brother-in-law. She was still not allowed to leave the harem, however. In 1421, she was one of the many concubines who were accused for having participated in a conspiracy to murder the emperor. She was arrested and interrogated. She was executed for attempted murder of the emperor.
