時有燕軍千人守捉諸門，李從益母王淑妃詢於文武臣僚曰：「予子母在洛，孤危自處，一旦為蕭翰所逼，致令及此。 A thousand Yan troops then held the gates. Li Congyi's mother, Lady Wang Shufei, asked the civil and military officials, "My son and I were left alone and vulnerable in Luoyang, and now, driven to this pass by Xiao Han, we stand in grave danger.

妃曰：「非謀也，我子母亡國之餘，安敢與人爭天下！」 The lady replied, "That is no plan at all. My son and I are all that remain of a fallen house—how could we dare vie with others for the empire!"

諸君勿言，宜從太妃處分。」 Say no more, gentlemen. Do as the princess mother directs."
