PRECIOUS PRINCESS

EIGHTY SIX

Gold Tiger then returned to his base by passing the same path as the one they had passed earlier.

Xuan Lan and prince Zhan enjoyed their lives greatly while they were at Gold Tiger. There were not as many special rules as when they were in the palace. The two of them also often come down directly to work on tasks that for the Tigers are very difficult and have a lot of puzzles. It did not feel like they had lived there for three months and had never returned to the Xiao empire.

But Xuan Lan had always come to Li's empire every month despite her irregular times and it made prince Xian always nag at her due to Xuan Lan's sudden arrival while he was on a strenuous errand it was so much so that he could not linger with Xuan Lan. Once every two weeks, Jiang Yuan and Wang Yu Yan also always paid a visit to the Gold Tiger headquarters to meet Xuan Lan. The business between their families was also finished. Jiang Yuan or now her name is Wang Yuan already crowned the second princess of the Wang empire but she chose to stay with general Jiang. After all, general Jiang was the one who accompanied him since childhood, he could not forget about it just like that.

When Xuan Lan, prince Zhan, healer Bao, uncle Tae, uncle Tao and aunt Fu were relaxing while drinking tea there was a Tiger who reported to them if any crown prince of the Xiao empire wanted to meet with the reine.

"Do the appropriate procedures for him, if you've asked him to come here" Xuan Lan said.

"Well, reine" replied the Tiger.

"You're letting him come?" ask prince Zhan.

"Yes, after all he is an important person from one of the empires" Xuan Lan said.

Prince Zhan's mood changed. He became a little uninspired when Xuan Lan allowed prince Gui to come here. He was actually already unwilling to get in touch with anything that came from the Xiao empire.

"It's okay, gege. There might be a serious problem facing them that crown prince Xiao came directly here" Xuan Lan said.

"But if he asks to speak with you, take me with him, I don't want you to be kidnapped all of a sudden" Prince Zhan said. Xuan Lan chuckled in response to Prince Zhan's remark where perhaps a Xuan Lan could be kidnapped easily by the prince of Gui but he agreed with Prince Zhan's remark.

Shortly afterwards the Gui prince had already come to where they were relaxing.

"Is there anything important until crown prince Xiao Gui arrives alone at Gold Tiger headquarters?" xuan Lan asked formally.

"May I speak with you alone?" ask prince Zhan.

"No. I have to take one of my right hands if I want to talk to a guest" Xuan Lan said politely.

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can come back" he added.

"Alright, I want us to talk soon" said Prince Gui.

Xuan Lan did not say anything. He stood up and was followed by Prince Zhan. The bewildered Prince Gui immediately looked towards Aunt Fu. Aunt Fu understood and spoke.

"Follow them" he said softly.

Prince Gui nodded his head. He immediately ran over to catch up with Xuan Lan and Prince Zhan. He followed Xuan Lan and prince Zhan to the front of a room and it turned out to be a reine room. Xuan Lan and prince Zhan immediately went inside there followed by prince Gui behind him.

"Please sit down, crown prince Xiao Gui" Xuan Lan said as a reine receiving his guests.

Prince Gui immediately sat down before Xuan Lan.

"Please explain what you're here for" Xuan Lan said. Actually the one who had to say this was prince Zhan but prince Zhan was not willing to issue a word to prince Gui.

"Can we talk casually as usual?" prince Gui.

"I've spoken as usual as if any guest had come here" Xuan Lan said.

"I mean don't need to talk to me and you. You can use me and you to talk to me" the prince said.

"Reine had already said that he was used to talking like this to his guests. So, you can't ask Reine to comply with your request" prince Zhan said in the end.

"All right" said Prince Gui.

"I want to apologize to both of you" he said.

"For my past actions, I am truly sorry, Xiao Lan" said the prince.

"Sorry, my name is Xuan Lan. Maybe you apologized to the wrong person" Xuan Lan said flatly.

"But you" said prince Gui who was cut off by Prince Zhan's words.

"Have you forgotten that emperor Xiao himself changed Xiao Lan's name to Xuan Lan?" ask prince Zhan.

Prince Gui was silent. It was indeed emperor Xiao himself who changed the name of Xiao Lan to Xuan Lan and this person before him was completely unwilling if he were to be called by Xuan Lan.

"Sorry" granddaughter of prince Gui.

"Father is sick" he said again.

Xuan Lan and prince Zhan only stared flatly at prince Gui. Prince Gui who did not get a response looked back at the two of them.

"I mean emperor Xiao is in pain" the heart of Prince Gui felt uncomfortable if he had to pronounce his father's title in front of his own younger brothers.

"What kind of pain did he suffer?" asked Xuan Lan.

"I don't know, he doesn't want to eat and his body starts to take care of him" prince Gui said.

"Just calm down, I will send the medica team there immediately" said Xuan Lan who hurriedly wanted to go out and meet the medica team.

"Wait" said the prince of Gui as he pulled Xuan Lan's hand.

"Can you come straight there to treat my father I mean emperor Xiao?" ask prince Gui.

Xuan Lan released her hand from the grasp of prince Gui.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not a healer. Besides if you invite me directly there then the pay will double" Xuan Lan said.

"I'd pay double if you wanted to come there" said Prince Gui.

"You will have to pay triple because Xuan Lan will take her right hand there" said Prince Zhan who was behind them.

"Well, I'll pay triple" the prince said with a smile.

Xuan Lan immediately got out of there. He headed to the medica room to pick up some herbs that were useful for augmenting the appetite of emperor Xiao. When he finished, he returned to his room. He could see Prince Zhan who was just silent while looking out the window and prince Gui who just kept looking at prince Zhan with his heartfelt gaze.

"Ehm" deheman Xuan Lan slightly startled prince Gui. Prince Zhan immediately turned his body.

"You done yet?" he asked and was replied to a nod by Xuan Lan.

"Let's get there right away" Xuan Lan said with a smile to prince Zhan.

Prince Zhan returned Xuan Lan's smile. He then took out Xuan Lan's mask and her mask. He also put on a golden tiger mask to Xuan Lan.

"Come, crown prince" said prince Zhan then embracing Xuan Lan's waist possessively. They then walked out towards the Xiao empire.
