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.
