雲及後謁自之石所祭，治石像瓠山立石，束倍草，並祠之。 Yun and Queen Ye visited the omens, set up a stone like the one at Gourd Mountain, bound paired stalks of grass, and offered joint sacrifice.

是時，哀帝被疾，多所惡，事下有司，逮王、後謁下獄驗治，言使巫傅恭、婢合歡等祠祭詛祝上，為雲求為天子。 Ai was ill and ill-tempered; officers jailed king and queen and proved they had set shamans Fu Gong and the slave girl Hehuan cursing the throne so Yun might become Son of Heaven.

雲自殺，謁棄市。 Yun committed suicide; Ye was executed in the marketplace.
