Regarding the question of how Mrs. Xiang died, we can learn some information from the TV series "The Legend of Mi Yue". It is said that her status was very low at the time. , but after she became pregnant, a divination master predicted that the child in her belly would be the birth of the Overlord Star, which would be very prosperous for the Chu State and also represented the upcoming rise of the Chu State. Therefore, Mrs. Xiang obtained King Chu Wei of importance. However, this incident made the Queen of Chu at that time very afraid. She tried every means to kill her, but failed, so Mrs. Xiang gave birth to Mi Yue.
However, King Chu Wei was very disappointed that she gave birth to a daughter instead of a son. This gave the queen an opportunity. She gave Mrs. Xiang some poisonous clothes and wore them. After going to bed, Mrs. Xiang's body was covered with rashes, so the queen sent Mrs. Xiang out of the palace on the pretext that she was suffering from a serious illness. After that, the queen also arranged for a man named Wei Jia to bully Mrs. Xiang, causing her to give birth to Wei Jia's child. King Chu Wei always thought that Mrs. Xiang was dead, but Mi Yue accidentally learned that Her mother was still alive, so she informed King Wei of Chu to take her into the palace. Mrs. Xiang knew that as long as she entered the palace, her two children would be criticized, so she wanted to pin the reputation of forcing the emperor's concubines to death on the queen. As long as the queen was abandoned because of this, her children would be safe. , Mrs. Xiang chose to drink poisoned wine and commit suicide in front of the Queen. In this way, she framed Queen Chu, and she died as a result.

In "The Legend of Miyue", Mrs. Xiang was originally Ju Ji's concubine, but because of Tang Mei's prophecy about Ba Xing, King Chu Wei believed that the child Xiang was carrying was the overlord of Chu, so he made Xiang his wife. Later, Empress Chu Wei tried every means to make things difficult for Mrs. Xiang and wanted to kill the child in Mrs. Xiang's belly. Fortunately, Juji was secretly careful and Xiang was able to give birth to the child. But after the child was born, it was discovered that it was a girl and not a boy, so King Chu Wei did not love Xiang so much and did not go to Xiang's palace again for several years.
It wasn’t until Mi Yue was four years old that she went to King Chu Wei’s palace and won King Chu Wei’s favor. Mi Yue asked King Chu Wei to see her mother, and Xiang had the chance. See King Chu Wei again. Later, Xiang became pregnant with another child, and after giving birth to a son, King Wei of Chu named him Mi Rong.

After Mi Rong was born, King Wei of Chu personally led his troops on an expedition and stayed away for several years. At this time, Empress Wei planned to drive Xiang out of the palace and handed Xiang over to the rogue Wei Jia. Later, Xiang gave birth to a son named Wei Ran for Wei Jia. After King Chu Wei returned to the palace, he found that Mrs. Xiang was not there. Queen Wei said that Mrs. Xiang had fallen ill and died. Mi Yue secretly told King Chu Wei that Mrs. Xiang was not dead, but was at Wei Jia's house. So King Wei of Chu sent someone to bring Xiang back.
After Xiang came back, he realized that he and Queen Wei were incompatible with each other. In order to protect his three children, he committed suicide and falsely accused Queen Wei. However, after Chu Wei died suddenly and Mi Huai succeeded him, Xiang's plan was of no use.
