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。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKfChwTSOW
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe6zwDRCE1
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCct4yJicX
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbX0gnXF3T
「慢著！」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD3kSL5CyM
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaDQd3KNoV
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpD8AZffrF
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv6D9mHn56
「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。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07NK2ZccoW
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFDqTaHKUh
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。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp4bHMHg7q
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SeXv2o2dz
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9at4LALAUX
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvwXfAfpiM
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKYdsEACQU
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrxahBkpZz
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqepbfve7F
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK05qJHHoaL
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54xMlF58og
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlu1lvEkl2
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEL1v47Oye
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B8KVe4tSy
「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――」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnskxwTRFek
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZHofEfOk0
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNaJcfKm9S
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihp90zNe63
「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。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMdXZjQO82
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0KyWcNxgb
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。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoUN9s2FcW
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS21yEaN69e
「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。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcya7wS1DbC
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JYyfCt989
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryaR8edqbU
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafHtkjMC4t
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx0ncVcrAC
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJjgqDhJdw
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTK8Bw0Wlq
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXYwsT5rl8
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSoCIVtlEI
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4lVyyQXtw
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6HJ9ehrHY
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aQuzYAr9K
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。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZcVJ0qkXk
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0yiwjqFPM
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3na08LEui
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRn3XYp6ht
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFA6cbK4zn
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqIvtvKwRe
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrV56t4hVj
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRFQOei6K2
「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。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc1QEruLht
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuqF7Dlg2z
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmBnZBJCt3
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NBX1wsVGt
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoGVE9XvRp
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX01PeI6cF
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28bkXKJ06M
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBQofw97Kf
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。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gAck4uvzq
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3FbLczgc5
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwE57WLaTL
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL0xwDrJ08
毒蛇。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXnDHWHJ32
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdTCDxEBJV
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzRGSmKN5x
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITwrqBOent
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkFDs0Zj30
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5LIcb6OFh
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGF1vZO87h
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQFSNVFkI1
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTA9THlcxC
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z94IYb0Ym
「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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BXIeP0gsJ
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkQwywhQIb
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBQlJM9ZpF
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx82SKskyri
「好！」砲手高舉右手。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7U42oaB87
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGIzvlirsb
「放！」朱玹咆哮。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7VSGBMefZ
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqVwfgIsHF
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0O1uzrdS9
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGgFDx2VEC
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVIjQci1at
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jyW3eiiBI
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rVTY4ALUH
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn4tSjdV1M
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnZTr06XNu
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpzBNw7zaI
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVR2JyXTlry
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgQmFR2Dxm
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmYIDYzOlE
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqdnwOeCtg
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQE3ZTL8ya
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhJwDspjUF
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlobUP33av
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJO6gs5LQd
「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。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHccCRKrhbL
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicPyZuhJ9d
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNvvuPIRuX
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA7Jjs7ocB
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ11hyA52k
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS3ggxmSwg
「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。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xwlK0pW2c
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrr8YUb6QG
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpwVh8PLXN
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wyzpGhKef
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVQPWxcWf6
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BjB4mTQ34
「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。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoORbzIvjpY
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp0amibwr3
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFP7kZBGtZ
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKJzwTAKdI
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K5o7toUtF
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUfKQozdAj
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX834X4eazL
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4KtdCSZuI
一切都像是靜止了。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RiSif2P2X
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5AJWivJ6R
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ895nNADl3K
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7qJrkt0AS
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kUc2cf08A
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tpRqIvRFz
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaDSEu9fGI
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnbKvHmyuA
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQdgW8rVxK
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1prCtZImtY
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。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7Si31dib5
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bB7Jnpk6X
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8BIPBuVYi
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDCTOpqI8C
「放！」朱玹號令。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5rbZr4otk
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2ETHbh9sa
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjAUFnY9Ao
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2ayv2j2Qa
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDU19mU5ik
310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tSDCSD32R
咸若宮轟然倒塌。310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wANJOpg2Y
