Yang Guifei fled to Japan after the Mawayi Imperial Army mutiny. There was a view among Japanese people and academia that at that time, she was a maid who was strangled in Mawayi. Chen Xuanli, the commander of the Forbidden Army, cherished the beauty of his concubines and could not bear to kill them, so he conspired with Gaoli Shi and replaced them with maids. Yang Guifei fled south escorted by Chen Xuanli's close relatives, sailed to sea near Shanghai, drifted to Japan's Jiugawa Jiujin, and spent her whole life in Japan.
