伏皇后 / Empress Fu Shou

Hanji 985 first places Fu Shou inside the Li-Guo captivity sequence. In April 195 CE, 汉献帝 appoints her empress while 李傕 holds the emperor and 郭汜 holds ministers; her father 伏完 is appointed zhijinwu. The appointment shows imperial household ritual continuing, but under conditions where title practice is no longer backed by ordinary safety or command.

Hanji 991 later shows Empress Fu accompanying Emperor Xian during the night escape and Yellow River crossing. The source says her brother Fu De supports her while carrying silk, and that one of her attendants is killed in the scramble, splashing blood onto the empress’s clothing.

The episode does not build a full biography for Fu Shou. Her role is to make the imperial flight concrete: even the empress’s immediate space is pierced by panic, killing, and bodily danger, so court status cannot shield the household from the same collapse that consumes officials, palace women, and followers left behind.
