十三年，流人楊欽亡入突厥，詐言彭公劉昶共宇文氏女謀欲反隋，稱遣其來，密告主。 In the thirteenth year the exile Yang Qin fled to the Türks and falsely claimed that Duke Peng Liu Chang and a daughter of the Yuwen house were plotting to rebel against Sui and that he had been sent to inform them in secret.

公主見晟，乃言辭不遜，又遣所私胡人安遂迦共欽計議，扇惑雍閭。 The princess received Sheng with insolent speech and sent her private agent, the Hu man Ansuijia, to conspire with Qin and stir Yonglu to revolt.

又遣晟往索欽，雍閭欲勿與，謬答曰：「檢校客內，無此色人。」 He was sent again to demand Qin; Yonglu tried to withhold him and answered falsely, "We have searched our guests and found no such person."

晟乃貨其達官，知欽所在，夜掩獲之，以示雍閭，因發公主私事，國人大恥。 Sheng bribed Yonglu's nobles, learned Qin's whereabouts, seized him in a night raid, and showed him to Yonglu, exposing the princess's misconduct and shaming the nation.
