《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪十四》
正因为如此，才使奸猾之徒揣摩皇上的心意，认为他非常宠爱幼子，想立幼子为皇位继承人，于是产生出危害皇后、太子之心，终于酿成巫蛊祸难，可悲啊！
是以奸臣逆探上意，知其奇爱少子，欲以为嗣，遂有危皇后、太子之心，卒成巫蛊之祸，悲夫！
Because of this, treacherous people were able to guess the emperor's will, thinking that he greatly favored his young son and wanted to establish him as the heir to the throne. This gave rise to the desire to harm the empress and crown prince, which ultimately led to the calamity of witchcraft; how sad!
