Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 828 Suspicion grows

Fu Shou's words were far beyond Fu De's expectations. He blurted out in surprise: "Why do you think that little sister?"

Fu Shou stared straight at Fu De and said, "Brother, please answer my little sister's question."

There was an unnatural look on Fu De's face, but he still managed to keep his composure, "How could my little sister think so? Is someone trying to trick you?"

"Are you doubting my father?"

Fu Shou said word by word: "Brother, don't talk about him. I want to ask, what else are you hiding from me?"

Fu De opened his mouth, faced Fu Shou's aggressive gaze, and finally said dejectedly: "Little sister, believe me, actually I don't know either."

After hearing this, Fu Shou said slightly coldly, "But Brother, I guessed a little, didn't you?"

Volde became angry and lowered his voice, "Is my little sister doubting me?"

"When the Emperor returned to the east, I risked my life several times to protect him. Is this all a lie?"

Fu Shou said in a low voice: "If it weren't for my brother, my little sister might have been killed when I crossed the Yellow River, right?"

"My little sister has always remembered my brother's kindness, but what I want to ask now is what my father has done."

"Including why my father sent my mother to Langya's hometown after returning to Huai City from the east. Did he foresee anything in advance?"

Fu De shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I only know that as children, you should not criticize your parents."

Fu Shou said in a seductive voice: "Even if he does something that is unworthy of the emperor?"

Fu De said in a deep voice: "Little sister, you have to remember that before there is an answer to the matter, thinking wildly will only harm you."

"And on the other hand, although my father is a minister of the emperor and the head of the Fu family, he must be responsible for the Fu family."

Fu Shou became a little excited, "In order for the Fu family to survive, do we have to make a choice, even to the point of doing something that will harm the emperor?"

Fu De was a little annoyed, "Little sister, I told you not to think nonsense. I believe that the Fu family has been favored by Han, and my father will never do the things you said!"

"If he betrays the Emperor and betrays the Emperor's close ministers, how will my Fu family be able to gain a foothold in the world?"

Seeing how excited Fu De was, Fu Shou sighed softly, "Looking at Brother's reaction, I feel that Brother didn't lie to me."

"I'm still willing to believe Brother. After all, having His Majesty's wings clipped will not be good for Brother."

Fu De nodded slightly and then said: "So, my little sister is still doubting my father?"

Fu Shou said calmly: "I can't help but doubt it. After all, in my opinion, my father is the biggest suspect."

Fu De asked puzzledly: "How can you see it?"

Fu Shou thought to himself, I can't say that it's because of Liu Xie's different attitude toward him before and after, right?

She knew that Liu Xie was very smart and could see subtleties that many people could not see. After the Huaicheng Incident, he became much colder to Fu Shou.

Fu Shou was puzzled at first, until Liu Xie mentioned the leak of the Clothes and Belt Order to her several times. Fu Shou thought about it carefully and found that there was a hint of resentment in his tone.

At first, Fu Shou thought that Liu Xie was unwilling to give in, but when he thought about it, he found that there was a hint of doubt and anger in Liu Xie's tone, and these highly targeted words were obviously directed at him unconsciously. .

Fu Shou was puzzled at first, but then she suddenly realized that Liu Xie felt that the leak of the dress edict had something to do with the Fu family.

After she thought about it, she felt enlightened, but what followed was deep fear and helplessness. She naturally knew that if this matter was true, wouldn't it mean that the Fu family betrayed the emperor and took refuge with Cao Cao?

Then what’s the point of being a queen?

This doubt gnawed at Fu Shou's heart like a poisonous snake, causing her to turn her back again and keep her awake all night.

So she went to question Fu De in person, but the other party's reaction didn't look like he was informed, which made Fu Shou feel a little relieved.

But at the same time, Fu Shou could also see that Fu De probably had the same doubts as himself about the leakage of the Clothing Order!

Because the whole thing was so weird, this kind of important matter, which involved risking all one's wealth and life, should be left to the most trustworthy person, but the news happened to be leaked.

And what puzzled the insiders, including Liu Xie, the most was what benefit would leaking the list of people wearing the belt order bring to the traitor?

Fu Shou did not doubt his father Fu Wan at first. After all, Fu Wan married Princess Yang'an and his daughter was the queen. What reason would he have to betray the emperor?

But Fu Shou observed Liu Xie's resentment and understood that his suspicion was not groundless. She wanted to know the truth more than Liu Xie. After all, she didn't want to live with suspicion all her life.

In fact, Fu Shou's doubts were not only shared by her and Liu Xie, but also by the ministers and everyone in the world, including Yuan Xi.

Although Yuan Xi has knowledge about later generations, he does not know the truth about the time of the Clothing Order. After all, it is only recorded in the history books of the Later Han Dynasty, and the writing is vague and unclear.

And many people's reactions afterwards were extremely abnormal, such as the murder of Queen Fu that happened in later generations.

According to records, in the fifth year of Jian'an, Fu Shou was afraid of the murder of Dong Guiren, so he wrote to Fu Wan, telling him that Cao Cao was threatening the court and that Emperor Xian was resentful. He hoped that Fu Wan could plan to kill Cao Cao, but Fu Wan did not dare to do anything. actions. "The Spring and Autumn Annals of Emperor Xian" states that when Fu Wan got the secret letter, he first showed it to Xun Yu. Xun Yu was dissatisfied and kept it secret. Later, Fu Wan showed it to his wife's brother Fan Pu, who then told Cao Cao about it.

Fu Wan died in the 14th year of Jian'an. In the 19th year of Jian'an, Fu Shou's secret letter to Fu Wan was leaked. Fu Shou was killed by Cao Cao. His brothers, clan and two princes he gave birth to were all executed, and nineteen people including his mother were executed. He was exiled to Zhuojun.

This is the end of the Yidaizhao incident, which lasted for nearly twenty years. What happened in the middle? Why was it revealed after so many years? And why did Fu Wan give such sensitive letters to two people one after another? From an outsider's perspective, this thing is inherently abnormal.

But it is undeniable that, regardless of whether it was an excuse or not, the Belt Order involved a long time and a wide scope, almost running through half of Liu Xie's life.

If Yuan Xi were present, he would also admire Fu Shou's intelligence. The history of this world has changed. The incident of the Clothes and Belt Edict occurred in advance, and many people's behavior and responses also deviated. This allowed Fu Shou to find something unusual in it, and began to Pursuing the truth behind the Yidai Zhao, he cast his doubtful eyes on his father.

Seeing that Fu De was indeed unaware, Fu Shou leaned down and bowed in a low voice: "What we are talking about today are all my little sister's words and have nothing to do with Your Majesty."

"This matter is related to my little sister's life, and it will also implicate Your Majesty. I hope that my brother will go back to Zhihu and never speak to any third person, including my father."

After hearing this, Fu De shook his head and sighed: "Although I don't agree with the little sister's idea, since the little sister has spoken, I agree."

Fu Shou sent Fu Dehou away with a gloomy expression on his face. Fu De could no longer be found, and she couldn't guarantee whether he would tell Fu Wan. After all, the promise to his sister was far less than the promise to his father. Filial piety is important.

Fu Shou bit her lip tightly, feeling the smell of blood spreading on the tips of her teeth. She was unwilling to give in!

She felt lonely and helpless as never before. She obviously wanted to help Liu Xie, but no one could trust her, including the Fu family, whom she had trusted the most before. Instead, she became her biggest suspect.

What made her even more frustrated was that Liu Xie also had an obvious distrust of herself. At some point, an irreparable rift and gap appeared between the two. However, Fu Shou had no way to make up for it, so he could only watch the two of them helplessly. People are drifting away.

As a queen, my situation is worse than that of a peasant girl. Should I live like this for the rest of my life?

Fu Shou was feeling sad when he saw the maid running in in a panic and saying, "Queen, it's not good, the evil devil from the Cao family has sneaked in again and is pulling the palace maid!"

Fu Shou was frightened and uneasy after hearing this. The palace maid was talking about Cao Pi. Cao Pi had caused his maid to be killed last time, but he was not punished and his actions became more and more arrogant.

When Cao Cao was in Xu County, he could still be more restrained. Now that Cao Cao has gone to Dong County, Mrs. Ding, who can restrain Cao Pi, also fell out with Cao Cao and returned to her hometown in Qiao County.

Now, no one could control Cao Pi, so he came to the palace from time to time to cause trouble.

Liu Xie has been absent from the inner palace recently, and Fu Shou has not been able to report this to Liu Xie. After all, Liu Xie's peaceful attitude last time had already made Fu Shou feel cold.

Moreover, even if he told Liu Xie, he couldn't do anything, which only increased his frustration, so Fu Shou could only find ways to delay and tolerate it and get through the matter.

She said to the maid: "Call a few guards over first and see if we can persuade them to leave."

The maid hurriedly walked out, but did not come back for a long time. However, there was a constant noise outside the courtyard, which gradually became louder and louder.

After hearing this, Fu Shou hesitated for a moment, then got up and walked out. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Cao Pi with a fierce look on his face, dragging a disheveled maid into the house.

Fu Shou was furious. She looked over Cao Pi's shoulder and looked out the door, only to find that the two guards had been knocked to the ground by the soldiers brought by Cao Pi. The others either did not dare to come up or had already avoided them.

Fu Shou saw this and shouted: "Discourteous!"

"This is the emperor's palace. If you dare to break in, do you know the etiquette of human relations and the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers?"

"Retreat quickly, otherwise you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

Cao Pi smiled evilly and said, "I've already noticed that you don't like me. You are so pretentious. Do you really think you are some kind of queen?"

He took two steps forward and grabbed Fu Shou's wrist through his sleeve, "I want to see what you can do to me?"

Although Cao Pi was only twelve or thirteen years old, he ate well and grew very fat, and his strength was not much different from that of an adult. Fu Shou felt that the other party was unusually strong, and even though he struggled a few times, he did not pull away. He yelled angrily: "Let go!"

"I am the empress of the Han Dynasty. Do you want to rebel?"

Cao Pi grabbed Fu Shou and saw that he was panicking but pretending to be calm, but there was an evil fire in his heart.

Among the women he had ever seen, Fu Shou was considered the most beautiful, and Cao Pi had long coveted her status as a queen, but due to her status, he never dared to make a mistake.

But last time he threatened the palace maid without being punished, which made him more courageous. Now that Cao Cao is not around, he is allowed to let himself go completely.

Seeing Fu Shou in his hands, Cao Pi was even more ready to move. He immediately used his arms to drag Fu Shou into the house.
