梁王恐，乃使韓安國因長公主謝罪太后，然后得釋。 The King of Liang, now fearful, sent Han Anguo to intercede through the Grand Princess and beg the Empress Dowager's forgiveness. Only then was the matter set aside.

既至關，茅蘭說王，使乘布車，從兩騎入，匿於長公主園。 When they reached the pass, Mao Lan advised the king to ride in a plain cloth-covered cart, enter with only two horsemen as escort, and conceal himself in the Grand Princess's garden.

與長公主計之，乃分梁為五國，盡立孝王男五人為王，女五人皆食湯沐邑。 He consulted with the Grand Princess, and together they divided Liang into five kingdoms, enfeoffing all five of King Xiao's sons as kings. His five daughters were each granted revenue from a bathing fief.
