Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 270 Sima Yi: Cao Cao's eunuch party is definitely not a good person
Zhang Sui came to Fu Shou's side.

Looking at her nervous appearance, Zhang Sui took a deep breath.

He somewhat understood the other party's nervousness.

If it were a prosperous era, her identity would definitely be respected.

But in the chaotic times of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, her status was not much different from that of other women.

If the family behind her is strong enough.

Just like the father-in-law Dong Cheng standing behind Concubine Dong.

Then her status would be much higher than others.

However, the person standing behind her was the emperor's father-in-law Fu Wan.

The father-in-law Fu Wan is an old man who only knows how to complain.

Thinking of what Fu Shou said in Yewang County, Zhang Sui felt quite sympathetic and said, "Get in the carriage. I'll take you to the military camp to rest."

"I know what you're worried about."

"But, I'm here, so no one will take action."

After saying that, Zhang Sui stretched out his hand and said, "Go up!"

Several Tiger Guards quickly turned around and looked away.

Fu Shou then raised her head and glanced at Zhang Sui.

The dim firelight from the mansion shone over and fell on Zhang Sui's face, giving it a hazy color.

Fu Shou was a little dazed.

She thought of the charming scene between them that night.

Fu Shou bit her lip, but still stretched out her hand tremblingly, placed it on Zhang Sui's wrist, pulled his sleeve, and climbed onto the shaft of the cart with difficulty.

Zhang Sui watched Fu Shou enter the carriage, then said, "Wait here for a while, I will continue to check to make sure no one is left out."

After saying this, without waiting for Fu Shou's consent, he quickly turned back to the government office.

Fu Shou lifted the curtain of the carriage and watched Zhang Sui enter the government hall from afar. Tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks.

That night, I kept talking about wanting revenge and said that we would go our separate ways after dawn.

But now, I realized that I am just a woman after all.

How difficult is it to seek revenge?
Let alone Dong Cheng.

Even those Tiger Guards who kicked him off the boat couldn't do it.

No, not even my own father can do it.

Thinking of the letter from my father.

Thinking of how her father would occasionally pass by her without even looking at his daughter, Fu Shou suddenly laughed at herself.

Before entering the palace, she was always complacent, thinking that her parents were of noble status.

My father was a minister.

His mother was the daughter of Emperor Huan, the inestimable Princess Yang'an.

But now the world is in chaos, and his father, who is of noble status, doesn't even dare to protect himself, the queen.

Her husband, the supreme ruler of a country, allowed her, his legal wife, to be bullied in various ways.

This is the first time in my life that I feel the feeling of being cared for.

Unexpectedly, the person who took care of me was a man who had nothing to do with me.

Fu Shou clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves.

For the first time, she envied other women immensely.

If I were not a queen.

If I were not my father's daughter.

If I were just the daughter of an ordinary minister.

Maybe, I can be with him.

But, these are just ifs.

The reality is before us.

Even if he would follow the emperor, be looked down upon by him, and die chasing him, he would have to accept his fate.

Zhang Sui finally checked the government office and made sure that everyone who should leave had left. He then asked the servants who remained in the office for one or four braised duck legs and left with them.

That’s right, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were already various kinds of marinated products.

However, these marinated products are not affordable for ordinary people.

Only children from aristocratic families are eligible to enjoy it.

Zhang Sui rode his horse outside.

Unexpectedly, Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua rushed over.

Seeing Zhang Sui carrying the duck leg, Sima Yi asked curiously, "Brother, who did you give it to?"

Zhang Sui pointed to the carriage and said, "Empress."

Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua looked at each other.

Zhang Chunhua sighed and whispered, "I never thought that the mother of a country would fall to such a state."

Zhang Sui placed the duck legs outside the carriage curtain and said, "Queen, I found four braised duck legs. You can eat first. We are going to leave the city."

After saying this, he stepped back and left, surrounded by the Tiger Guards.

Zhang Sui, Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua rode their horses beside the carriage.

Fu Shou hid in the carriage, picked up the duck leg, and started chewing it, while tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks.

She hadn't had a full meal for a long time. The civil and military officials such as Wang Yi, the governor of Hedong County, didn't care about them at all.

To be precise, even the officials didn't care much, let alone the concubines.

Although she tried her best to suppress it, Zhang Sui, Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua could still hear intermittent sobbing coming from the carriage.

Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua didn't know what to say.

They grew up in the Sima family and had never experienced this feeling.

Zhang Sui originally wanted to ask how Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua got here.

At this moment, listening to the suppressed sobbing inside, Zhang Sui couldn't help but ride his horse to the window of the carriage and said, "The queen doesn't need to be sad."

"This trip south will put an end to the suffering of wandering around."

“All the suffering will soon be over.”

According to history, Cao Cao would bring the emperor, Empress Fu Shou and others to Xu Du to support the king.

For a long time to come, nothing will happen to the emperor and Empress Fu Shou.

At least, food and drink are not a problem.

As for Fu Shou who was eventually implicated and imprisoned until her death, Zhang Sui also had a plan.

When you see Cao Cao again, you will use it on him.

It is obviously impossible to deal with Cao Cao.

However, in this strategy, Cao Cao would at least not imprison Fu Shou to the point of death as happened in history.

After Fu Shou heard what Zhang Sui said, she stopped crying.

Zhang Sui said nothing more.

The group went straight to the camp outside the city.

Emperor Liu Xie, civil and military officials, and concubines were all properly arranged by Li Ru.

Li Ru arranged Empress Fu Shou to sit next to Emperor Liu Xie's tent.

Until Empress Fu Shou returned, no one, whether Emperor Liu Xie or father-in-law Fu Wan, came to inquire.

Instead, Sima Fang brought a group of family heads from aristocratic families to pay their respects to Fu Shou.

Zhang Sui personally led more than twenty cavalrymen and sat outside the tent of Emperor Liu Xie and Empress Fu Shou to prevent any sudden accidents.

Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua were both by Zhang Sui's side.

Sima Fang and others came out of Queen Fu Shou's tent.

Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua went forward to meet them.

Zhang Chunhua whispered, "Uncle, how is the queen?"

Sima Fang signaled the heads of other aristocratic families to go and rest. He then moved closer to Zhang Sui, Sima Yi, and Zhang Chunhua, and sighed softly, "What else can we do?"

"The Queen is about the same age as you, Chunhua, but she has suffered such a bumpy journey."

"I just took a quick look and saw that they have lost a lot of weight."

"I really can't understand why the father-in-law Fu Wan didn't come to take a look?"

"If this were my daughter, no matter if she was the queen or anyone else, I would never let her suffer like this."

"As the old saying goes, the love of parents is the most compassionate thing in the world."

"But really, I've seen too many people who are timid and don't treat their daughters as human beings."

"As for the emperor, ah~"

"I got the news earlier that the queen didn't even have physical contact with the emperor."

"The emperor didn't pay any attention to her at all."

"When crossing the river at Hongnong Port, the Queen was kicked off the boat by the Tiger Guards arranged by the father-in-law Dong Cheng. When the Emperor found out, he didn't dare to say a word."

Zhang Chunhua frowned and asked, "Why did Dong Cheng arrange for the Tiger Guards to kick the Queen off the boat?"

Sima Fang sighed and said, "What else can I do?"

"Of course it's because she's the queen!"

"Her reputation is there. Even if people don't respect her, they can't kill her on a normal day."

"But, in the chaos, it's hard to say."

Sima Fang glanced at Zhang Sui and said awkwardly, "Since the emperor came to Anyi County, many officials, starting with the father-in-law Dong Cheng, have been forcing the emperor to appoint them to official positions."

"This time I went south back to Luoyang, the same reason."

"These people all dream of turning the emperor into a puppet and using him to control the other princes."

"Especially Dong Cheng, he was once a general under Dong Zhuo."

“Once the queen is dead, his daughter will be a noble lady, the first person in the harem, and it will be easier for him to deal with the emperor.”

Sima Yi suddenly said coldly: "I thought Cao Cao would not have any good ideas either."

Looking at Zhang Sui, Sima Yi said: "Brother, I think it would be better for you to lead the emperor to settle in Luoyang!"

Zhang Sui: “.”

Sima Fang was startled and knocked Sima Yi on the head with his hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you going to kill us?"

Sima Yi asked, "What did I say wrong?"

"Cao Cao was a eunuch. Both his father and grandfather were ambitious."

"His father was killed before, and he took advantage of the banner of revenge for his father, but he occupied land in Xuzhou and slaughtered the people."

"If this eunuch party were allowed to control the emperor, the consequences would be disastrous!"

"And brother, I don't think he is that kind of person."
