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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM9HpHYsfH
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvT56Z6Whn
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X5soQCfwv
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr7M5NOlwm
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6dvgzJATa
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh41HMzpl5I
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qeOszX6En
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxFYrw9Spo
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5eZFDndFG
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinyTd5DeY1
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4FlStEdYH
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqcYJ91gUQ
劉夫人笑聲清脆：「哎喲，妳這小嘴兒真會說話。」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTEcorUMnq
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddoiHklR3o
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgd4B1fgTp
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne31RY6F7m
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsZNjs1qkv
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYjhSPRGRW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob9bRGwi2w
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fpjqkuJsx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzD1tSmwZ4
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHXTaygyMA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEDdgblXJm
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajW5dIY9Zn
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQMacSMW2Y
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYYCKhaztp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFtBj4Kg28
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sYEdW0Iz5
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9o3kYYZAc
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3E1hO23Zy
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0xwz2XeMI
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC65oYWbRr
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ22gG11QgZ
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhzBT41WJe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSR1sfaBhM
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVI7Xjwalm
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlWbX0T0bQ
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsy7vaHROe
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WhsGYP82M
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwurmjYEWRi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PtHj5wdQl
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z79iSpOgO
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVxctZNHj3
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU2JNu5RzD
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0WjHi3pA8
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpURa4e5FIZ
「這是……石棺？」24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RqIUPV6IO
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fua5sMKL8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXx8Xba199
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5afLcXuCIA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpihvH7M7Y
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetdYWN1yKO
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiutJWhIla
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPpdbEgXBx
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtiRfi7uxp
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIoy2EX1c8
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BvxoHcOZC
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtWWwAiNJf
這時，密道中突然響起一陣腳步聲。24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZxvLUwf4l
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdCgdsQOF7
「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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8Utilp7Ma
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUVvY2NPuy
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QNveB5eaF
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNni1XWFKf
「果然啊，生得太美就是會犯錯——跟袁公那些愚蠢的妾室一樣。」
