Yuan Chen was momentarily at a loss for words. Moments later, he fiercely drew his sword, "Nangong Zheng, you treacherous..."
Before he could finish, someone behind him thrust a sword through him, piercing him completely. Yuan Chen stiffened, the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang a few inches from Nangong Zheng. He slowly turned his head and saw the expressionless face of the person who killed him, his pupils dilated and he spat out a mouthful of blood, "You... you..."
The person who killed him was none other than his Queen. She was Yuwen Yan from the noble Yuwen Family of Dawei, which controlled a third of Dawei's military power.
