永蹈乃召郭諫相已及妻子。 Yong Dao thereupon summoned Guo Jian to read his own face and those of his wife and sons.

諫說永蹈曰：「大王相貌非常，王妃及二子皆大貴。」 Jian told Yong Dao: "Your features, Great Prince, are extraordinary; your consort and both sons are marked for the highest fortune."

於是，賜永蹈及妃卞玉，二子按春、阿辛，公主長樂自盡。 Thereupon Yong Dao, his consort Bian Yu, his sons Anchun and Axin, and Princess Changle were all allowed to take their own lives.
