及翊遇害,河馳赴宛陵,責怒覽、員,以不能全權,令使奸變得施。二人議曰:"伯海與將軍疏遠,而責我乃耳。討虜若來,吾屬無遺矣。"遂殺河,使人北迎揚州刺史劉馥,令住歷陽,以丹陽應之。會翊帳下徐元、孫高、傅嬰等殺覽、員。〈《吴历》曰:妫览、戴员亲近边洪等,数为翊所困,常欲叛逆,因吴主出征,遂其奸计。时诸县令长并会见翊,翊以妻徐氏颇晓卜,翊入语徐:“吾明日欲为长吏作主人,卿试卜之。”徐言:“卦不能佳,可须异日。”翊以长吏来久,宜速遣,乃大请宾客。翊出入常持刀,尔时有酒色,空手送客,洪从后斫翊,郡中扰乱,无救翊者,遂为洪所杀,迸走入山。徐氏购募追捕,中宿乃得,览、员归罪杀洪。诸将皆知览、员所为,而力不能讨。览入居军府中,悉取翊嫔妾及左右侍御,欲复取徐。恐逆之见害,乃绐之曰:“乞须晦日设祭除服。”时月垂竟,览听须祭毕。徐潜使所亲信语翊亲近旧将孙高、傅婴等,说:“览已虏略婢妾,今又欲见偪,所以外许之者,欲安其意以免祸耳。欲立微计,原二君哀救。”高、婴涕泣答言:“受府君恩遇,所以不即死难者,以死无益,欲思惟事计,事计未立,未敢启夫人耳。今日之事,实夙夜所怀也。”乃密呼翊时侍养者二十餘人,以徐意语之,共盟誓,合谋。到晦日,设祭,徐氏哭泣尽哀毕,乃除服,薰香沐浴,更於他室,安施帏帐,言笑欢悦,示无戚容。大小凄怆,怪其如此。览密觇视,无复疑意。徐呼高、婴与诸婢罗住户内,使人报览,说已除凶即吉,惟府君敕命。览盛意入,徐出户拜。览適得一拜,徐便大呼:“二君可起!”高、婴俱出,共得杀览,餘人即就外杀员。夫人乃还缞绖,奉览、员首以祭翊墓。举军震骇,以为神异。吴主续至,悉族诛览、员餘党,擢高、婴为牙门,其餘皆加赐金帛,殊其门户。〉
