Cixi was bullied by foreigners (foreigners interfered in her internal affairs and prohibited her from abolishing Guangxu) and declared war on the eight countries at the same time, but she also knew that she was defeated. For her own benefit, she not only provided watermelons and food to foreigners, but also secretly provided ammunition that could not be used normally to the Boxer Rebellion. Its purpose is to enable foreigners to ensure her rule over China, not to enable Guangxu. So in the end, just a few hours before he died, Guangxu drank the porridge sent by the eunuch and died first. Cixi has a famous saying, "It is better to give a friend than a domestic slave", "Measure China's material resources and win the favor of the country (foreign country)", "Whoever makes me uncomfortable for a while, I will make him uncomfortable for life" and "I can set you up and abolish you (for Guangxu)".
