又行二百里，會國母為永康王所執，永康王請帝卻往遼陽城駐泊，帝遣使奉表於永康，且賀克捷，自是帝一行稍得供給。 Two hundred li farther on the Khitan empress dowager was seized by the Prince of Yongkang, who asked the emperor to return to Liaoyang; the emperor sent a memorial congratulating his victory, and thereafter the party received some supplies.

漢乾祐元年四月，永康王至遼陽，帝與太后並詣帳中，帝御白衣紗帽，永康止之，以常服謁見。 In the fourth month of Qianyou 1 of Han the Prince of Yongkang reached Liaoyang; the emperor and empress dowager went together to his tent; the emperor came in white robes and a gauze cap, but Yongkang stopped him and received him in ordinary dress.

帝伏地雨泣，自陳過咎，永康使左右扶帝上殿，慰勞久之，因命設樂行酒，從容而罷。 The emperor prostrated himself weeping and confessed his faults; Yongkang had attendants help him into the hall, consoled him at length, ordered music and wine, and dismissed him at ease.

及永康發離遼陽，取內官十五人、東西班十五人及皇子延煦，並令隨帳上陘，陘即蕃王避暑之地也。 When Yongkang left Liaoyang he took fifteen eunuchs, fifteen eastern and western shift attendants, and Prince Yanxu, and had them follow his camp up to the pass—the Khitan king's summer retreat.

後數日，永康王馳取帝幼女而去，以賜綽諾錫裏。 Several days later the Prince of Yongkang rode off with the emperor's young daughter and gave her to Chuonuo Xili.

至八月，永康王下陘，太后馳至霸州，詣永康，求於漢兒城寨側近賜養種之地，永康許諾，令太后於建州住泊。 In the eighth month, as the Prince of Yongkang descended from the pass, the empress dowager rode in haste to Bazhou to see Yongkang and ask for land to farm near the Han'er stockade; Yongkang agreed and had her lodge at Jianzhou.
