Early the next morning, Yuwen Junan went to the Southern Prince's Estate.
Yuwen Zan was still eating breakfast. Beside him lay a woolen blanket, kept there for visitors from the outside. Sima Tianze, hunched over and feigning the frailty of an old man, stood by in attendance. Yuwen Junan, dressed in a striking, vibrant dark red silk robe, offered a bow to Yuwen Zan before taking a seat on the opposite side of the round table with a bold, unrestrained air.
When a servant brought over some soft tofu, Yuwen Junan waved his hand to decline it. He said to Yuwen Zan, "Linghu Xinglang has returned to the capital. I may have to return the position of Grand Commander of the Imperial Guard."
