After Ji Xueyuan left, Yelu Yan had someone call Shulu Xi, who was waiting in the side hall.
Shulu Xi performed a respectful bow to Yelu Yan, "Greetings, Khan."
Yelu Yan leaned steadily back in his Taishi Chair, hand resting on the armrest, fingers tapping it lightly, watching him calmly, "The net has been cast. Have someone watch Ji Xueyuan closely. We will wait to close the net."
The time to completely purge the Imperial Court had arrived.
Shulu Xi was delighted, saluting again, "Yes."
He stood up straight and said to Yelu Yan, "Khan, purging the remnants and rabble of the court is truly a great thing, but this humble official feels somewhat uneasy, fearing that you may be acting hastily."
Yelu Yan looked at him with interest and said, "Are you suggesting that this Khan has lost composure because of the matter concerning the Royal Consort?"
Shulu Xi nodded. Yelu Yan's favoritism towards Li Xianyun was obvious to all.
