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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNsOXP7gqB
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7TJZaQoEv
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLU8ke02iF
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxZ1VIjJbb
「慢著！」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6NS3yguLz
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQMqwp3k8F
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCaBwn7OAO
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyNgGumaOU
「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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOWLUEyXn4
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pLd7mM35P
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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw1eLU44Xl
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNttPk9Qfcl
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOuWXj0syB
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JINNWJ2JP
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ogmtWeOE
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKqpSEUaLX
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSQXx3whf5
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRpri517FU
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjPvqflKL6
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfgvL5cDsp
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4AX9AuX1W
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8UgLTrpt4
「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――」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cY09NkIrA
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXF6XbaQVm
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS09EYD3cO
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCAwbh4LE8
「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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmKkVaSNDk
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn8ohlLVtm
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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mi915pVn2
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnSjoQCaUc
「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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vQIX3eFdO
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmur8gC34c7
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLZktlq1UK
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CvRQTOx3o
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bzu2ZucZu
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGByB7Y4pYq
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT3EglK5ot
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHiGvFqTUO
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqROIHBPKx
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt04EXd6Lkg
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xdxSedWzQ
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjgDsm9fua
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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKDvUFPFbx
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnbWYL79jX
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4z89kNuR7
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dQ4VKpdxK
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUSvAIFU9Q
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5pleuz4vy
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XZAwHMUJ3
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6HmOLyk0v
「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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH5Oa6EmYX
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ106Jd1XFrQ
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCItb2dAR86
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5UNrsh3Co
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gRghKCWg0
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSxMJQjjLa
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPMlHopMZI
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Qi6cQOlQ
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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7amhdtylAb
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsZ08xCWO2
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6h4gFmXkV
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDquWxRzgeT
毒蛇。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzpeKYxTPQ
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKFQxMoME3
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFeVnUhB2p
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtDj3qiwTu
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhPx6X8eVx
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w5FL6RrAw
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb9RedSzeU
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARQJu3NcTB
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ufYfnsSKP
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73TahCpeCr
「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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyfLUMyvc4
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAzhAeWDnB
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezJJT9eFvH
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSAUkwI4xd
「好！」砲手高舉右手。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHZHPSt9oL
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwowo39wfI7
「放！」朱玹咆哮。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17mtc2egNQ
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHxY0ffbFf
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaffWcEPD9
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLD4sWtN8h
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B8rT2vrU6
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb64GY6SxQZ
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfafNoGRYLb
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2z79obQd6
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97EbOEBfCR
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlMkZj0cP3
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GpFbFpWG9
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hEf8n2PRo
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3chRYNWco
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMJUHl2Dwz
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqbOqJJ2TR
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEzkvBERQZ
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSPYGzKtlB
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6e1u3kfhf
「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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMnxfMfyWK
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidaYPLqPwe
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmaab0rl7N
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm47LTQRJrN
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CDZkXYuHP
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIRkarzpCS
「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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw99WRVUxy
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xhx2puPDP
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p1f02naFp
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s1sYl7tAt
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5qfDFMdFe
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdXfSSb9rh
「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。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNayDiqE79O
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTF84h0R2v
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccktA3G6xz
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn7AxUJbGw
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6AU0QuvOz
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc09wZLaGeh
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2Runm959k
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTuSOT3dVj
一切都像是靜止了。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaEeqGRiIH
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcvXeUPSlA
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHNHIHn32T
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jtBX7sdPG
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D6HPPpz5u
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomVgN73Rhn
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDh29G1S7h
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyusLNpW2d6
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOsGEnHfAY
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczoYn4bYiP
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。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ844GRQKocr
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3qdKochsY
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMHKsAvY68
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1xP6qF7M5
「放！」朱玹號令。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnLqwajfLg
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDp7a71wxJ
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8dYRftchY
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT9UPGJB5N
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIUdaYeaz3
312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSOF2CCNQg
咸若宮轟然倒塌。312Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa3fdOwAmA
