Yeo Jieyu

Jieyu, of the Yeo clan (呂婕妤; 1393–1413), was an imperial concubine of the Yongle Emperor.[1]

She was from Korea. She became a member of the imperial harem of the Yongle Emperor in 1409. In 1410, the emperor's favorite concubine, Consort Gongxianxian, died. In 1413, Lu Jieyu was arrested on order of the emperor, accused of having murdered Consort Gongxianxian by use of poison. She was tortured to death for murder. All her eunuchs and maids were executed as accomplices as well.
