Chapter 57: The Collapse of the Allied Forces

"So this is Zhao Seven?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The body has been verified by multiple people who have seen him. It is indeed Zhao Seven,"

Eunuch Wang said as he stood up straighter.

"Both legs are gone, and his heart has been pierced by a sword."

Liu An lifted the dead body's robe to check its identity again.

He didn't expect that Zhao Seven, who used to be his genuine friend, would end up like this.

"Does the Elder Princess know about his death?"

"Your Majesty, she has not been informed yet,"

Eunuch Wang said.

"Wait until she returns from the frontline before you tell her!"

"Your Majesty, this is something I don't dare to do," Eunuch Wang bowed and said at once.

"Well, I'll tell her then."

Liu An turned his head away, looking embarrassed.

When the Father Emperor chose Zhao Seven for Liu Rui, he meant to use the marriage to keep Clan Zhao stay loyal to him.
