提婆聞之，以告其母令萱。 Tipo heard of it and told his mother Ling Xuan.

萱以饒舌斥己也，盲老公謂珽也，遂相與協謀，以謠言啟帝曰：「斛律累世大將，明月聲震關西，豐樂威行突厥，女為皇后，男尚公主，謠言甚可畏也。」 Xuan took "sharp-tongued" as a reproach against herself and "blind old husband" as referring to Ting. They therefore joined in plotting and reported the verses to the emperor, saying, "The Hulü clan for generations has been great generals; Bright Moon's fame shakes the lands west of the passes, Fengle's authority reaches the Turks; a daughter is empress and sons marry princesses — the verses are truly fearsome."
