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。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1UwOYDz0j
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYHrXllDEo
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nsMVZmPeD
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7AJW6GWLG
「慢著！」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iUxF3uWDY
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUscECYsHw
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTZ7vzOLE7
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDnyS5WIwK
「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。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7vJpnPPvX
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlimgn58I9
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。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Ir6szrUt
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdMS6w42xp
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUJA9Nn9dv
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip5lSTgHob
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEaRdFpvP4
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDslh0PfTE
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBRbFTsKAp
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWlXxtE0bY
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDjTQqsdB1
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0e7nQa0Ym
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTVURud7gJ
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf58XGeGta
「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――」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwp9wuajF4
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacMMhMhLw8
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOl1RnNsMl
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0ebAddNsN
「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。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZGb2Q5Y2U
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsQmO0Lidw
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。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq7L4AQ3gj
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdQa11XU63
「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。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdTwzpQJ8F
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkViOensFrF
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34aQSOLMl4
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzw7bbyywZ
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWmy4pQD7r
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE70s1BesMC
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo7VR8OSu7
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UIu1IwGup
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBltBTM0Ru
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqx8PdE6Fe
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuIJUsPebn
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXT6vCL35G
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。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl67ZRHW0k
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVkrNv3cOX
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFeJvtQdin
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VjHek4FDx
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIy6g4Lckk
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QFeHIaLue
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWhMvAf42g
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy237glifUL
「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。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjGMnQLedG
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoLp8wyza0
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBvqDGRle3
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFPGMfRscX
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9BwC0lyJA
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTaRJ1QXcN
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRCMlzknny
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotWrXwKrdh
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。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEE5XoGVjX
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXZTfCzK00
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CjYuDnT3T
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W7Le1kcGg
毒蛇。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqNbKpo7ks
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgpsxeZfAb
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMESavchjs
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNcvm3itbs
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EANbFHqtS
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1RXnotFhm
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjE4pPN83B
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu2btv0rrn
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvkWklcCi9
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJchRYaurMR
「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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyyAyrvQof
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZKsBMLoIW
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfygXBzOdN
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9GxDevJtC
「好！」砲手高舉右手。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMdNJfG9ok
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDR2kLrzhf
「放！」朱玹咆哮。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxno4SZI8VY
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7XiHQJtMD
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTOnOygoqA
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSrBd9rUIW
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZZhB56P3v
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM3zE7IZM1
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeI945NnI2
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlZpuUEg6k
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlD1J2BCQ7
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm22KFshA5
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSilhXKhXV2
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfee5QHDfNY
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaEUg3Zvs9
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21sG1unmhw
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKOGU4cxK0
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNHSFEv04p
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwBAdQ115z
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRlyvjUvHq
「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。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjSvFzMoHX
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoUtlg4HWd
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zUnTOu3gR
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQumtBD7T1
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JUCzyHpwE
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzvO0ky7eF
「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。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehffYM9v88
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzcYYEqRKn
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO0IsEXvk7
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1HEC9uP4h
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5RBjSX4fX
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMp6lqenqj
「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。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKMUMMiONu
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhdBDEJRqy
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd5efQX0Rp
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahK7YzIINw
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT1XtiOFEL
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppy8QLuA0A
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEohm93uuo
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgAO4o4yHA
一切都像是靜止了。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAGCgmgjOz
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfXnzSTiwE
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg3Tw7ApUw
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OqePnBBh7
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGVX6Ea8hX
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW4CP2yynF
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp7481TGmU
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjqiGdiwtQ
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELJ7qvcqU4
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOUTVfvGsG
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。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagp2vkuLZT
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ40IQ0dZg
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaMspPiIyx
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pFAalwp9C
「放！」朱玹號令。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMZij2yoqd
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ci21wGpyf
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdKoc0HrrV
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdiS01EUXg
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvjbwK1rKl
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQG3wxLUn5
咸若宮轟然倒塌。271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07m2iGlM4k
