Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 286: Death of Fu Wan
When Fu Wan heard what Emperor Liu Xie said, his forehead almost touched the ground, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty has misunderstood."

"As long as this old minister has any relationship with Yuan Shao or Zhang Sui, how could this old minister remain indifferent?"

Emperor Liu Xie kicked over the table in front of him and roared, "Are you still deceiving me?"

"You have no relationship with Yuan Shao, so why would Zhang Sui treat the queen so well?"

"Do you think everyone else is blind?"

"You are a great traitor!"

"You just don't want to help me!"

"Everything you eat and drink is provided by the royal family."

"In the end, you are just like other treacherous ministers and don't want to help me!"

Queen Fu Shou turned her gaze from Emperor Liu Xie to Fu Wan who was crawling on the ground beside her, with a sarcastic smile on her face.

When Fu Wan heard what Emperor Liu Xie said, he raised his head and said with tears streaming down his face, "Your Majesty, these words of yours make me ashamed!"

"I consider myself a loyal subject of the Han Dynasty. I always think about serving the court and helping Your Majesty."

"But, I am an old minister with humble abilities, and I cannot do it!"

"I cannot share your worries, so I have been hiding in my shell and dare not say anything."

Looking at Empress Fu Shou beside him, Fu Wan said in a trembling voice: "Because this old minister cannot help Your Majesty to solve the problem."

"Since my daughter was admitted into the harem, I have always asked her to abide by the virtues of a woman and to remember that she is your Majesty's person in life and your Majesty's ghost in death."

"The traitor Dong Zhuo was causing chaos and committing adultery in the harem. She was so scared that she hid in a dry well and asked someone to risk his life to ask the old minister for help, asking him to take her out."

"I, your Majesty, took your majesty's dignity into consideration. Instead of taking her away, I wrote a letter asking her to stay in the harem. If she is defiled, she will commit suicide to preserve her innocence!"

"When they moved from Chang'an to Luoyang, her personal maidservants took the silk and ran away, but were killed one by one by General Dong Cheng. She was almost killed by General Dong Cheng, and I, the old minister, never said a word for her."

"It's because I know that General Dong Cheng was your old friend at that time!"

"When crossing the river from Hongnong Port, the old minister's two children were left behind."

"I, as an old minister, don't care about their lives. I am only focused on commanding the Tiger Guards to protect Your Majesty."

"My eldest son was caught up by the rebels and beheaded!"

"My daughter, who is also the queen, escaped at all costs and was welcomed by the Tiger Guards along with Concubine Dong. Those Tiger Guards were all under General Dong Cheng's command. They ignored my daughter's status as the queen and kicked her off the boat."

"Your Majesty, do you know the grief I felt when I watched my son being killed and my daughter being kicked off the boat and washed away by the river?"

"Your Majesty, I am a loyal and courageous old minister. I have dedicated all my children to you, Your Majesty."

"Now, my son has died tragically."

"My daughter sees the old minister as if he were an enemy."

"Your Majesty, do you still think that this old minister is a traitor?"

When Emperor Liu Xie heard Fu Wan say this, his anger was greatly reduced.

However, he still felt uncomfortable and said, "I have seen your achievements, father-in-law."

"But this is not a reason for you and your daughter to just sit back and watch!"

"This is the only way for me to save myself. Even if you sacrifice your lives, you must beg Zhang Sui to stay!"

When Fu Wan heard what Emperor Liu Xie said, he laughed at himself with a dry voice and said, "Your Majesty is right."

"Even if I have to cut off my own flesh, I should go and beg Zhang Sui to stay."

"But they just ignore me. What can I do?"

Emperor Liu Xie also wanted to scold Fu Wan.

Fu Shou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly laughed out loud.

Emperor Liu Xie and Fu Wan both looked at Fu Shou.

Emperor Liu Xie scolded: "Why is the queen laughing?"

Empress Fu Shou ignored Emperor Liu Xie and looked down at Fu Wan, who was lying on the ground, with a mocking expression on her face and said, "Did you see that, my good father?"

"You treat this man with such sincerity, but he won't show any sympathy." "He would rather believe the rumors than believe your loyalty."

"You treat him as heaven and earth."

"But he just treats you like a dog!"

"You sent your own children to him and gave up everything for him."

"What he got in return was that he allowed your son to be hunted down and killed by the rebels."

"What he got in return was that he allowed your daughter to be humiliated by his subjects, and he didn't even look at her."

"You have fulfilled your loyalty, but what about your brother?"

"But what about me?"

"What do you take us for?"

"You used our lives to exchange for this kind of useless person who can't tell right from wrong to treat you differently, but in the end, he just treats you like a dog! Like a piece of trash! Like a traitor!"

Emperor Liu Xie narrowed his eyes and said sternly: "The Queen——"

Before Emperor Liu Xie could finish his words, Empress Fu Shou suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed it straight into Fu Wan's abdomen.

Fu Wan's tearful face was filled with astonishment.

He had never imagined that his daughter, who had always been humble and obedient, would one day attack him!

When Emperor Liu Xie saw Fu Shou stabbing Fu Wan in the abdomen with a dagger, he turned pale with fear and stepped back involuntarily, saying hurriedly, "Someone come! Someone come! The Queen is crazy! The Queen is crazy!"

Fu Shou ignored the roar of Emperor Liu Xie, and just twirled the dagger in his hand, looking down at the shocked Fu Wan with a fierce smile, and said tearfully: "I am a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but you are only a traitor in the eyes of others until your death!"

"You killed my brother!"

"You made me so miserable!"

"You shouldn't be alive."

"You don't deserve to live!"

"I wish I could tear you into pieces!"

"If there is an afterlife, I will work like a cow or a horse, a slave, or a maid, and I don't want to have anything to do with an old beast like you!"

"Go to hell!"

Fu Shou screamed, pulled out the dagger that had pierced Fu Wan's abdomen, and stabbed Fu Wan's body all over like crazy.

Fu Wan opened his eyes wide and did not struggle at all.

Blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Looking at Fu Shou's tearful face and possessed look, Fu Wan felt dazed.

He remembered how well-behaved and lovely his own children were.

He thought of his son studying late into the night just to wait for a word of praise from him.

He recalled how his daughter had been well-behaved and clever since she was young, and was treated like a treasure by his wife.

When did everything start to change?

Fu Wan recalled the scene where his son knelt at the door and begged not to send his sister to the palace.

He recalled the scene where his daughter had someone send him a letter written in blood, begging him to take her out of the palace.

He recalled the scene where his son was beheaded by the rebels.

He recalled the scene where his daughter's hands, which were clinging to the small boat, were repeatedly kicked hard by the Tiger Guards until she was kicked off the boat and washed away by the river.

Fu Wan's vision gradually blurred.

The ferocious face of Fu Shou in front of him turned into a pair of children squatting in front of him. He fell asleep beside the stone table in a daze. His son quietly took the bamboo slips from his hand, and his daughter gently fanned him with a fan.

The last voice in my ear gradually drifted away: "Sister, don't disturb Daddy's sleep, let's move quietly!"
