Was the tragic fate of Yulong caused by Empress Dowager Cixi?

I think it was caused by Empress Dowager Cixi. Yulong married Emperor Guangxu because of the will of Empress Dowager Cixi. Empress Dowager Cixi only wanted to keep her honor and fulfill her dream of being carried into the palace from the Qing Gate via the Meridian Gate and the Taihe Gate, so she forced them to get married when they didn't love each other.

Besides, Yulong is not beautiful. After she married Emperor Guangxu, she was not favored at all. Empress Dowager Cixi not only didn't take care of her very much, but also looked down on Queen Yulong herself, which made her miserable life easier. We know that Emperor Guangxu's favorite in history is Zhen Fei, a particularly smart and beautiful woman. In addition, although Emperor Guangxu was respectful to Empress Dowager Cixi on the surface, he was actually disgusted with all the arrangements made by Empress Dowager Cixi.

So every time he sees the Jade Dragon Queen, he feels particularly uneasy. He felt that she limited her freedom, limited her love and stole the position of the woman she loved. In the later period, Emperor Guangxu actually punched Queen Yulong, knowing that it would be better for the queen to pursue in the harem without her own support, Empress Dowager Cixi chose to ignore it.

Due to the long-term cold violence and restrictions, Queen Yulong became more and more silent in the harem. Even in front of Cixi, she was very cautious and said nothing. When she was reprimanded by Empress Dowager Cixi, she just knelt down and bowed her head, afraid to refute half a sentence. Even in front of ladies-in-waiting and eunuchs, she didn't dare to put on the airs of the queen. Even many courtiers in the palace were very distressed by her experience, because Empress Dowager Cixi let her enter the palace to marry the emperor.
