宋皇后 / Empress Song (late Han)
Hanji 913 introduces Empress Song as 汉灵帝’s empress in a lethal palace-rivalry branch. The source says she is disliked by the ruler, targeted by favored consorts, and then exposed after Song Fei, the wife of Bohai Wang Liu Kui and the empress’s aunt, is killed.
王甫 fears that Empress Song will resent him over Song Fei’s death, so he accuses her of using wugu to curse the emperor. Ling removes her seal, sends her to the Baoshi prison, and she dies in grief; her father Song Feng and brothers are also executed.
