As the court officials left the main hall, Xun Fan's room was in disarray, and Ji Yuan, who had been hiding somewhere, stepped over the overturned tables and chairs to come in.
The servants looked at him in surprise and wanted to stop him from entering, but Xun Fan, leaning against the bed, said, "Let Ji Shizhong come in."
Only then did the servants lead Ji Yuan around the curtain into the inner chamber.
Xun Fan said, "All of you, leave now and guard outside, not allowing anyone to come in."
The servants responded and withdrew.
Ji Yuan picked up a chair from the floor and placed it opposite the bed, bowing to him, "Mr. Xun's righteousness, I am deeply grateful."
Xun Fan's expression was blank, "I'm not doing this for your gratitude."
Ji Yuan lifted his robe and sat down, "I know, Mr. Xun is doing this for the stability of the world."
Xun Fan said, "I hope you all will continue to assist the Great General in the future, and not become evil."
