Reborn to Become A Queen: The Real Heiress's Comeback

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: He Can’t Swim! Chapter 240: Chapter 240: He Can’t Swim! Zhan Lan stopped the bandaging she was doing, this statement didn’t sound like Ye Xiuhan’s usual speaking style at all.

Seeing Zhan Lan staring at him, Ye Xiuhan’s eyes flickered for a moment and he said nonchalantly, “I have a sister. When she cut her hand with a knife, she would cry for half a day, fearing the scar it might leave.”

It was the first time he saw Zhan Lan’s appearance this closely; without her armor, she seemed ethereal and sublime, like a moonlit night-blooming cereus captured in time.

Zhan Lan looked at him and said, “General Ye, we have been fighting for over two years now, and to be honest, I don’t really like wars. I respect you as a hero and wanted to discuss something with you.”

Ye Xiuhan looked at her again; Zhan Lan was drying her clothes opposite him and continued, “The current Emperor of Beiyue is incompetent. Why do you still serve him?”

Hearing this, Ye Xiuhan’s eyes sharpened instantly, and he scoffed coldly, “And is your Emperor of Nanjin any better?”

Zhan Lan nodded, “You’re right, that’s why I never fight for the Emperor.”

Ye Xiuhan paused his act of adding branches to the fire upon hearing her words.

Zhan Lan continued, “Your Emperor ascended to the throne by killing all his brothers during the Crown Prince conflict and altering the imperial edicts. Do you know if there’s any legacy from the old followers of the previous Crown Prince?”

Ye Xiuhan threw the branch in his hand, “Zhan Lan, what exactly are you trying to say?”
