一名軍士飛奔來報，「統領，火勢太大，殿內藏有大量黑火藥，本就不易撲滅，火乘風勢，恐會蔓延到清寧宮及三大殿。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aP0XJPm4K
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSl9JakpSz
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOd2TzDepK
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrBXtPE6gN
「慢著！」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iyFL9CCSv
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHWhd2wU9z
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalYY8woSsr
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTwNIJaEvM
「原來，皇叔也受了這賤婢的蠱惑。」萬貴妃笑得狠戾，「怪不得本宮弄不死她。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMeulqIPJB
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4BlUBvQdX
朱玹前行一步，將湖衣擋在身後，「貴妃先於宮中縱火，阻擋禁軍救災在後，違反宮禁，請貴妃回宮，靜待皇上裁示。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw2GvAXX6T
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YAM0G1pao
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYubu0Za9ef
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQqsX0Erny
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzlR0tKdAK
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCselCbS7o6
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF3OEFLaYN
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyhjFxzDEr
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8yLnbBn6Q
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhIKNsOf1V
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoxEk2B6BG
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm49qTIP3DZ
「本朝自太祖立國，祖宗家法，后妃居宮中，不預一髮之政，太祖以下外戚皆循理謹度，無敢恃寵以病民――」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sHwO019a3
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCw4CviIgB
她宛如凝固般僵立在原地，一朵餘燼擦過她的臉龐，不知是誰的骨灰。她的眼淚早已流乾，痛覺也已麻木。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ3CNKaiyc
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOYXF4HbYm
「貴妃身受皇恩，卻迫害后宮嬪妃，滅絕皇嗣，母族權傾朝野，卻振威福之勢，迫害地方，違背祖制。自古福禍相倚，物極必反，福滿禍生，外戚干政，大者夷滅，小者放流，難得善終。史蹟殷鑑不遠。貴妃且好自為之。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoB7KJVkcS
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLtgDrbDpx
這番話激得萬貴妃殺心再起，神色愈發怨毒，她咬牙切齒地對汪直說：「今日無論如何，本宮都要將她活剮。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGAH0uBtpz
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAmIElYqE1
「是，奴婢明白，」汪直在她身後答道，「娘娘且先回宮，這裡煙大，別嗆著了。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo0s3XJ6U1
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu2JbtoLcv
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIHMzWfg8Z
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh7wVARDC1
湖衣緊咬嘴脣，看向汪直，萬氏權勢滔天，她有如蚍蜉，即使拚盡全力也無法與之抗衡，但她絕不逃跑，她會正面迎敵，以及可預料的後果。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYlhTMMUdU
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgQYw4K8pj
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKO8mSZQAV
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJwzt7ThHb
一陣步伐聲響起，禁軍運來洪武大砲，六門火砲在朱玹背後依序排開。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbgEsbmPP2
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWpR4uKskO
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspql0gpU82
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tR1ltLTER
朱玹知道她在想甚麼，「火勢太過猛烈，唯有對宮殿開炮使其陷落，阻斷火源，才不會延燒到太后的清寧宮和三大殿。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemH7CvRiKs
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6WerdsguF
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjYj7ri9Q3
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYSoNQQkXB
興許是臨別才覺得不捨，咸若宮沉靜如江南女子，單簷廡殿頂，金色琉璃瓦，悄悄佇立在庭園一隅，不與坤寧宮爭輝，兀自美麗。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4zmuH3o83
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dyOGsPzJO
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AcQC5L39u
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsgmmB3zzW
「王爺，」汪直躬身一揖，「貴妃統領六宮，此女觸怒貴妃，犯上欺主，還請王爺放人，貴妃還等著小的回去覆命呢。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQmupf3bJ7
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreBbY7Se8f
汪直生著一張倒三角臉，眼帶桃花，上揚的嘴角看似無時無刻都帶著笑，但他的笑意裡，卻暗藏刀鋒。湖衣從未見過如此令人不寒而慄的笑顏。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI91ky3qGp
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdMX7N02pa
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjRV0uvYC1
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6by6stVQa
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1X6y7A7UG
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBH9X6Bc1M
最後，汪直詭魅一笑，看向朱玹身後的宮中禁衛軍與神機營親兵，再躬身作揖，「奴婢自知要從王爺跟前逮人，無異癡心妄想，容我等先行告退。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvILGxTJazJ
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuJ2P9pTfx
汪直躬身下拜，一干人隨即退去，臨走前汪直還不忘冷笑幾聲。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpfYsYIeq2
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqTHZaxDNb
毒蛇。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5wgK8Xz5a
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgUtjvn55z
予人濕冷黏膩，陰毒入心的感覺，那是毒蛇，有著鮮豔紅黑斑紋的赤煉蛇。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe154dokqSo
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SQW7g8Z1s
汪直一去，此間再無阻攔，禁衛軍手執火把，其餘人等小心翼翼地推著一桶桶的實心彈和火藥。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFJvslP59d
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSVyC1DkNy
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGHBOq1TQ0
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2tr8EhzhH
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuWUuOxtS2
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pzuinQb6u
「分六處，瞄準殿內外金柱，務必使主殿崩塌，阻止火勢蔓延。」朱玹下令。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujTaSlFEoH
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cBzaolwaD
眾人熟練地取出通條清理砲管，充填實心彈和火藥，打開火門並放入火捻，再倒上少許火藥。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKWxQOZBVx
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIQG1HJcCm
「好！」砲手高舉右手。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOBLmVda7w
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolukHub65f
「放！」朱玹咆哮。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZdmxfFamX
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAcI27CbYj
砲手舉起火炬，點燃引信，風勢的助長下，微弱紅光迅速燃燒，砲管噴發。一聲巨響，殿前的兩根金柱從中斷裂，殿頂崩塌，熊熊烈焰從裂口竄出。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlGoDx9stx
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOKPrHbvVo
那是咸若宮的正殿，她讀書寫字的地方，也是眾人的魂魄安息的地方。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuxroqqYXw
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu9ZE59M58
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs10j3bnoFq
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcXfShMvna
熱風盤旋，湖衣退後了幾步，卻瞥見林間黑影飄動，有人在暗處窺視。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVRdvXaFDf
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKJFiUu73z
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80F5jv6Y0D
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaWvCPwoAy
湖衣隱隱覺著不安，她曾在獵場見過禿鷹於垂死動物上方盤旋。暗處之人就像禿鷹，等著她與朱玹一步步地，踏入預設好的死亡陷阱。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT93xiTiIc5
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBmIcfRby8
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6nC4x9S63
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMtE1jeYH4
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9EWfaPve0
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8DHSv5Hsn
「率領二十名親衛，策馬夜行，護送她到金陵知府邸。」朱玹輕推湖衣，「由安定門出城，先向五城兵馬司提督出示軍令，言明在宮中失火，縱火首謀可能已逃往城外，爾等奉命連夜追蹤。出城後，避開官道和驛站，每三十里換裝換馬，若發現有人跟蹤，則設法甩開，避免正面衝突。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnZNAU7gIc
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36Cfp4euYQ
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RGCIeatPA
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8F80mKO9F
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFqoRY5MVX
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlu4RgHGuJ
「馬上走。火一滅，禁軍必須退出清寧宮，有人正在等妳落單，屆時連我也護不住妳。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGtxdAB6gE
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4D8OeeEkq
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyaU3EjLsO
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoZhyMTYfh
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacrlJHN0fM
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EpaOrdM2U
「正因眾人為妳而死，妳更應該好好的活下去，否則他們的犧牲都成枉死，」朱玹按住她的雙肩，「看著我，想想妳的家人，妳的父母都在金陵等著妳回去，況且唯有妳活著，才可能為死去的宮人平冤昭雪。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zzBQutbD6
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgFRBiPB7W
湖衣不肯動，當她一見著他，就忘了徹夜哭泣的疼，只記得他的溫柔，她真的不願與他分離。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TlqWtDpTe
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEecDr7Mz6
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvgcvrip1e
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpE5gEj7cJ
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60Ip5ZSRvb
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEejEjzLefR
一切都像是靜止了。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t5zSaDM1q
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHRziS6HMO
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZeq1WvE2H
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRJAPwFIsB
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzykQdfu6wb
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG8awnHzj8
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lfatrXdSN
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZWnksDB70
燃燒的咸若宮被直衝天際的火幕壟罩，看不出原有的形貌，灰燼似落雪，點點焰火隨風飛舞，像夜空中的星子，自深闇如黑絲的芎蒼，墜落。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUB1m0nGYG
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZP4O3jHV4
湖衣覺得胸口空蕩蕩的，彷彿有人掏出她的心肺。不知是因為黑煙，或是熱氣，五臟六腑疼如火燒，一呼一吸之間劇痛無已。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ51ET36drs
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMQMeH5IaF
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA2Ezn4QJI
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXeYZvXhRo
「放！」朱玹號令。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJHp3Rt9OP
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YRvimPyd5
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVLYFVfXpi
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGuYtwT84D
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI1F2qbfbc
303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6bobrMhKa
咸若宮轟然倒塌。303Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe7jJXYuUm
