蕭訛都斡，國舅少父房之後。 Xiao Eduwo was descended from the State Uncle Shaofu branch.

頃之，訛都斡希乙辛意，欲實其事，與耶律塔不也等入闕誣首：「耶律撒剌等謀害乙辛，欲立皇太子事，臣亦預謀。 Before long Eduwo divined Yixin's intent and, wanting to make the accusation stick, entered the palace with Yelü Tabuye and others to make a false confession: "Yelü Sala and the others plotted to kill Yixin and put the crown prince on the throne; I too was in on the plot.
