曦性既淫虐，而妻李氏悍而酗酒，賢妃尚氏有色而寵。 Xi was by nature lewd and cruel. His wife Lady Li was fierce and a heavy drinker, while the Worthy Consort Lady Shang was beautiful and held his favor.

李氏妒尚妃之寵，欲圖曦而立其子亞澄，乃使人謂重遇等曰：「上心不平於二公，奈何？」 Lady Li, jealous of Worthy Consort Shang, plotted to overthrow Xi and install her son Yacheng. She sent word to Chongyu and his allies: "The emperor's heart has turned against you—what will you do?"
