劉曄字子揚，淮南成悳人，〈惪音德。〉漢光武子阜陵王延後也。父普，母脩，產渙及曄。渙九歲，曄七歲，而母病困。臨終，戒渙、曄以「普之侍人，有諂害之性。身死之後，懼必亂家。汝長大能除之，則吾無恨矣。」曄年十三，謂兄渙曰：「亡母之言，可以行矣。」渙曰：「那可爾！」曄即入室殺侍者，徑出拜墓。舍內大駕，白普。普怒，遣人追曄。曄還拜謝曰：「亡母顧命之言，敢受不請擅行之罰。」普心異之，遂不責也。汝南許劭名知人，避地揚州，稱曄有佐世之才。

Deeds
The records mention only that when Liu Huan was nine, his mother was critically ill and, on her deathbed, instructed him and Liu Ye to get rid of their father’s attendants. After she died, Liu Ye carried out her last instruction and killed the attendants. Liu Huan replied, “So be it.” The records do not say that Liu Huan took action himself.
