Lady Fu had become an imperial consort…

Lady Fu had become an imperial consort as Emperor Xian was being forced by Dong Zhuo to move the capital west to Chang'an in 190.

Her father was Fu Wan, a seventh generation descendant of the early Eastern Han official Fu Dan and the hereditary Marquess of Buqi.

His wife (although it is not clear whether she was Fu Shou's mother) was the Princess Yang'an, a daughter of Emperor Huan.

In 195, while Emperor Xian is largely under the control of Li Jue and Guo Si, he creates her empress.

As Emperor Xian continues to reign under the constant control of one warlord or another, he and Empress Fu apparently have a loving relationship, but both have seen their power become increasingly minimal.

Dong Zhuo's former subordinates, led by Li Jue and Guo Si, have taken Emperor Xian and the imperial court under their control.

However, Li Jue and Guo Si do not have serious ambitions, and their incompetence in governance furthers the breakdown of the Han empire into warlord regimes.

Li Jue and Guo Si soon have a major falling-out, and Li takes Emperor Xian hostage while Guo takes the officials hostage as they battle.

Later in the year, after peace talks between Li Jue and Guo Si, they agree to allow Emperor Xian to return to Luoyang, but as soon as Emperor Xian departs Chang'an, they regret their decision and chase him with their troops.

Dong Cheng, Emperor Xian’s father-in-law, repels the attack from Li and Guo with the assistance of Han Xian, former leader of the White Wave Bandits, who are remnants of the Yellow Turban Rebellion that rose up in Baibo Gorge in 188.

It said they numbered in the hundreds of thousands and even the Imperial Court could not quell them.

During Emperor Xian's flight back to the old capital, Empress Fu is personally carrying silk, which is seized by soldiers ostensibly protecting her—such that even her own personal bodyguards are killed, and their blood splashes on her.
