Empress Xiaoliewu (1590 – 1 October 1626), of the Manchu Plain White Banner Ula Nara clan, personal name Abahai, was a consort of Nurhaci. She was 31 years his junior.
Abahai was erroneously identified with Hong Taiji, Nurhaci's eighth son and successor, in earlier sources.
In November or December 1601, Lady Ula Nara married Nurhaci, becoming one of his multiple wives. Following the death of Empress Xiaocigao on 31 October 1603, Lady Ula Nara was elevated to Nurhaci's primary consort. She gave birth on 28 August 1605 to Nurhaci's 12th son, Ajige, on 17 November 1612 to his 14th son, Dorgon, and on 2 April 1614 to his 15th son, Dodo.
Lady Ula Nara was forced to commit suicide on 1 October 1626 by her stepsons (including Hong Taiji) because they feared that she might be a barrier to Hong Taiji's succession.
During the early reign of the Shunzhi Emperor, Dorgon served as Prince-Regent for the underage emperor. In 1650, Lady Ula Nara was posthumously elevated to "Empress Xiaoliewu". In 1653, the Shunzhi Emperor revoked Lady Ula Nara's posthumous title.
