清晨的陽光尚未灑滿庭院，袁府的婢女們早已開始了一天的忙碌。霧氣繚繞，竹林間泛著微濕的清涼氣息，遠處幾聲鵲鳴輕響，彷彿在為這座深宅大院的靜謐點綴一些熱鬧。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUtvPEBJE8
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGR17OlCuK
大喬與小喬早早起身，整理儀容，穿著一襲素婢衣裝，行動沉靜而俐落。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEQD4T8sKq
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIVs7KpYD4
「蓮兒啊，過來幫我梳個妝罷，總覺得鬢角亂了些。」劉夫人坐在妝臺前，聲音溫柔，嘴角仍舊帶著親切的笑意。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxgd8SQm2Z
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9UPQsTM48
「是，夫人。」大喬謹慎地應聲，上前輕手拿起木梳，將那一頭青絲細細理順。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU1tTYPUFw
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXXsvnX9Qc
「唉，年紀增長，總覺得臉色有些發黃。容兒啊，妳是不是也這麼覺得？我昨兒照鏡子，還嚇了自己一跳呢。」她語氣半真半玩笑，斜眼望著銅鏡中的自己。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu6KzuRv19
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WWG3QD6Kl
小喬掩嘴輕笑，俯身行禮：「夫人日日都好氣色，是鏡子老了，不會照人。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJV1NukeoQ
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVij65QEmSv
劉夫人笑聲清脆：「哎喲，妳這小嘴兒真會說話。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tO504HRVz
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LK36y4n5k
隨即她語氣一轉，柔聲道：「容兒，府裡西側那幾間空房許久沒人住，府裡人手又忙得很，不妨妳去替我看看，簡單打點一下。那近牆邊的地方最容易落灰積塵，也容易招蚊蟲。往後若能讓賓客安心歇息也好。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD2BcFQnhW
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7uvknQzII
「奴婢知道了，這就過去。」小喬應聲，輕一欠身後退下，轉身時偷偷與大喬交換一個眼神。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ5TgaNMik
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchVgx9tX2G
這正是她們計劃中的一步：盡忠職守，換取信任，順勢探索袁府佈局與動靜。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyINaRGGJQh
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xgegdcijh
踏出房門，小喬沿著青石鋪就的小徑往西廂而去。此刻晨霧漸退，露珠在葉片上閃動，陽光從竹林間篩落，將她的身影拖得細長。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY21CWk3WG
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC1F95cvS0
袁府西廂地勢稍高，距主屋稍遠，院牆邊緣幾間偏廂久未有人居，屋門緊閉，四周有些枯葉與蛛網，看來確已數日無人清理。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEAmZ1qGr0
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mKS7OoYw9
小喬推開其中一間房門，灰塵撲面而來，她掩口咳了兩聲，快步走入屋內，打開窗戶讓光透進來，隨即動手收拾。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEuqux52Bd
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wBnUwmyUZ
她的動作輕巧，不一會便打掃得井然有序。可當她正在床榻邊鋪平被褥時，忽見一根銀白色的髮簪半陷在床下，閃著微光。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zGMke8chM
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4Da9mR8jU
「這麼精緻……是誰落的？」她低聲自語，蹲下身去伸手想將髮簪撿出，卻發現簪子掉得極深，幾乎靠近床底最裡面。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNx6EiLCRw
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mTBMmB4UL
她更深入地探手，指尖卻忽然觸到一個金屬質感的突起——像是某種拉環。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJWm1NI3gG
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM26gdfwGlJ
「咦？」小喬心中微警，退後一步，起身將床榻微往旁邊推動。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopNxoP4mJN
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GCcy3Nwdi
待床榻移開後，微微的日光照在地上，露出一塊連著拉環的木板。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3uFB8KLiK
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWW4eG0fVp
小喬心中一震，在確定四下無人，便伸手拉起那拉環。隨著一聲細響，木板緩緩掀起，一道幽深的通道赫然出現，幽暗中似有寒風自地下吹來，帶著一絲陰涼與潮濕。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR2JyCcraq
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpd4J3iGJ6
她屏住呼吸，猶豫片刻後仍壓抑不住好奇，點燃了一旁案上燭台的殘燭，小心翼翼地踏入那密道。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA3JzXzefJ
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX50BeBtPz
階梯向下蜿蜒，通道狹窄，空氣潮濕，牆上斑駁石痕間散發著微弱冷光。她每一步都帶著警戒，壓抑的呼吸聲在空間中低低迴盪。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VMiXhvDpL
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIemiLRujw
終於來到底部，一個低矮的地下空間展現在眼前，牆上嵌著青石燈盞，早已熄滅。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpPICUj1Eu
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfVfgAWZ58
小喬抬起燭火照明，瞳孔微縮——五塊約一人高的長方形石體，並排而列，靜靜臥於地窖中央。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKwJjQKJ75
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifay7cW6bL
「這是……石棺？」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBHtaVuURO
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqyNE9v3Zz
她的心跳急促起來，喉間泛起一絲寒意。她遲疑著向其中一具石棺靠近，試探性地伸手輕輕碰了碰。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aRV0rAdnB
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZL8p5o96d
可就在指尖觸到冰冷的石面的剎那，一股細微的刺痛從掌心傳來，像被什麼尖刺刺破，隨即是一陣惡寒自體內湧起。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CwIsb5ffT
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdnJ6gvZVO
「這石棺上……有毒！」她心裡大驚，但還未能仔細思考，眼前便是一陣模糊，四周景象搖晃，地面彷彿在旋轉。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipTGKVrRXA
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQaGrx5pe7
小喬強撐著往後退了一步，卻站立不穩，身形晃了晃，終究支撐不住，倒在冰冷的石地之上。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaaouyk9U5
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10h4QsgsC5
燭火在地上翻滾，火光映照著那五具石棺的輪廓，也映照著她蒼白的臉色與緊閉的雙眼。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVjqgNujjo
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcTrcGEKXM
這時，密道中突然響起一陣腳步聲。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrufSvtWbPD
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wJXAi6XJN
「唉呀……我就知道，這麼個冰雪聰明的姑娘，一定會發現這個地窖。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuoMwwxm33
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiP2XuseqT
劉夫人緩步走下階梯，手中燭台搖曳，火光將她的笑容映得忽明忽暗。她那聲音依舊柔和，甚至帶著幾分惋惜，但在這空曠陰濕的地窖裡，聽起來卻比風還冷。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFhKfEjbLw
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxiqsMyZvN
「果然啊，生得太美就是會犯錯——跟袁公那些愚蠢的妾室一樣。」
