《南齐书·列传·卷二十三》
皇上因为王俭的嫡母武康公主参与了太初年间的巫蛊事件，不能享受公主的婆婆的名义，要开墓分葬，王俭便通过有关人士向皇上自陈，并暗中以死请求皇上，这事才算过去。
帝以俭嫡母武康公主同太初巫蛊事，不可以为妇姑，欲开冢离葬，俭因人自陈，密以死请，故事不行。
Because Wang Jian's stepmother, Princess Wukang, was involved in the witchcraft case during the Taichu period, the Emperor did not allow her to enjoy the name of grandmother of the princess and proposed to open the tomb for separate burial. Wang Jian appealed to the Emperor on this matter through relevant persons and secretly begged the Emperor with death. In the end, this matter was over.
