集憂懼不知所為，乃呼術者俞普明章醮以祈福助。 Consumed by anxiety and fear, Ji summoned the ritual specialist Yu Puming to perform Daoist rites of supplication for divine aid.

有人告集咒詛，憲司希旨，鍛成其獄，奏集惡逆，坐當死。 Someone reported that Ji was practicing curses. The judicial authorities shaped the case to please the throne, convicted him of treason, and recommended the death penalty.

天子下公卿議其事，楊素等曰：「集密懷左道，厭蠱君親，公然咒詛，無慚幽顯。 The emperor referred the case to the high ministers for deliberation. Yang Su and others said, "Ji has secretly embraced heterodox arts, practiced malign sorcery against his sovereign and kin, and openly uttered curses without shame before Heaven or earth.

時滕王綸坐與相連，帝不忍加誅，乃下詔曰：「綸、集以附萼之華，猶子之重，縻之好爵，匪由德進。 At the time Prince of Teng Lun was implicated in the same affair. Unable to bring himself to execute them, the emperor issued an edict: "Lun and Ji are like blossoms on the imperial stem, bearing the weight of princes of the blood. They were granted noble rank, yet not for any merit of their own.

煬帝即位，滕王綸、衛王集並以讒構得罪，高陽公智明亦以交遊奪爵，智積逾懼。 When Emperor Yang came to the throne, Prince of Teng Lun and Prince of Wei Ji were both convicted on charges of slanderous plotting; Duke of Gaoyang Zhiming likewise lost his title for improper associations, and Zhiji grew ever more fearful.
