《南齐书·列传·卷二十七》
皇上病倒了，又下韶给怀珍说： 你不应衹做量塞的助手，你的才能，应起到原来的作用，现在召你参与二卫直的事。 
帝寝疾，又诏怀珍曰： 卿不应乃作景素佐，才旧所寄，今征卿参二卫直。 
The Emperor fell ill, and again issued an imperialedict to Huai Zhen saying: You should not only serve as an assistant of the Minister of State. With your ability, you should play your original role. Now I order you to participate in the matters of the two Imperial Guards.
