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

Chapter 252: Chapter 252 So Many Snakes…

Emperor Xuanwu looked at the envoy, his smile not reaching his eyes, and asked, “Who is it?”

The envoy respectfully said, “The lady that our Beiyue Emperor has taken a fancy to is Brave General Zhan Lan.”

Upon hearing the name Zhan Lan, Emperor Xuanwu’s face immediately changed.

With royal anger, he rebuked, “General Zhan Lan is a pillar of Nanjin, absolutely not possible!”

The envoy calmly took out a letter, and said, “Your Majesty, this is a handwritten letter from our Beiyue Emperor to you, explaining the reasons.”

Eunuch Li presented the letter; Emperor Xuanwu’s expression changed drastically after reading the contents.

He clenched the letter tightly, knowing that if Nanjin does not form a marriage alliance with Beiyue, the Emperor of Eastern Wei would marry his princess to the Beiyue Emperor.

This would mean Eastern Wei forming a Qin-Jin alliance with Beiyue.

Then, Eastern Wei’s princess would become Beiyue’s Empress, and if the two countries joined forces, Nanjin, having just finished a war, would not have the financial strength to confront these two nations.

Emperor Xuanwu’s eyes deepened as he looked toward the envoy and said, “You stay at the hostel first, within three days, I will give a reply.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” The envoy bowed and left.

Emperor Xuanwu was in a complex mood; he was reluctant to part with General Zhan Lan, and equally reluctant to part with the eldest princess, Si Yao.
