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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡileE2XETJ4
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvco6v8Vbl
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnlJ2cn0SA
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtpBVLLNzr
「慢著！」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikapX8AHIZ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyTe9ZFmC3
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoylpYYCTYT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKmg92ThMm
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpmzupG1kQ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCioNeC8ye
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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd2a9PlsSi
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk1d2txavu
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCVsN20KNa
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCvG58PLri
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1otkCLaES
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHodyoLfb8L
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWIA6O4yxy
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18sUsXDqjq
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnmsfVE7LE
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWJ17z6CeK
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW0r0WrEpU
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVeyltlxQO
「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――」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCGh7xFpbD
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IeQFv0GUL
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11SOnCh7SL
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhEFnD5U2G
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bTQRJ9fVD
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98FRLl3z0y
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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp1eft5lFa
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa02eQFwh7u
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3GDLm3LD8
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQhVfoKMay
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4qAu5VDc4
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N7MCY3hTo
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeykM7Jk15D
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ791ENhxcWI
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyPciV8WDa
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYpS1SY32H
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKqMYV8OHz
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQCXFBsYQP
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPhoT0ndyo
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut6IAwEbTP
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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK80D2hW2bA
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb0ZZucNVH
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4cvRJOteG
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qCbSvSxpX
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTE0HtgIq3
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcryuJhtKqt
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns2XUUXKMe
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0DtsWf0w0
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyc30F5Q3Y
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m4iDGyNQD
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvDtSo81pQ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIFLs4fY3r
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRgHEmb61y
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVw5YdqW4G
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUeAEPionS
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjkCa3Eds8
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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qTlfAn3Xf
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClpMAUKDBe
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4va8srAVWY
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9xKMw13G6
毒蛇。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpKPYnmjHp
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UpYDSxhb0
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyniGaqBQY9
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJCrGhA9pG
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsrwQPLijG
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMIb4gPGt8
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgndCTXera
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2buK2jz0sJ
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdOvuUqast
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FvADi0m7T
「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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XuxCxuQ3i
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHRUuusloM
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrocXejYju
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAALAeMWv2M
「好！」砲手高舉右手。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy4xslViWK
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorpA3hJICH
「放！」朱玹咆哮。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhiYbFXJna
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyDOXRLWo5
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOwSICqa6j
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctDM4A2GP3
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z8nr15OAj
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAzHo4bHp6
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAkOPs8qUn
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIykRydyjN
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmN1ra2sTu
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa53jzXxXJr
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrbNbtuLR0
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB0S7mz8Pa
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fbDAedKnB
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26ow61bFvl
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsUVKq7PoM
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbOo7o6ivZ
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22Vxp5hBDs
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQGjidlNYo
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5JRiVWIVv
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBSnMmIsP1
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJRrgdP1Vg
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KKElLDvC4
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPXF3zvthT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XydW33vJv
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou9HG4D5MJ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX8gpPsrpL
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0523p9bJm
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvqa4micPu
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFvt0nYTwR
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBzRWz4A2A
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m1DOtA8B9
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleF3xo0VDV
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkHxYGCnJX
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5VayCEjtP
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5wZBtDhIO
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacDyrQOdhC
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqxf0aC3fB
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7apjP7l4wX
一切都像是靜止了。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rr8B0x2i3
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ0mA8OLzK
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGK1Bm9zbQ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRvPujFNrr
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsu7VLoswe
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ152iWxvlXL
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU0vJlXkHv
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuoXwoLZYz
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq74Eh3SRN
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkPlLnWDPA
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeriqC2gY4H
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhcbw7cuKf
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zN5zvJpov
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZRxJWaJnN
「放！」朱玹號令。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03ycadDLMX
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d7PEkItoH
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDSRnnweU1
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP9Cx2D44Q
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ekHGn6ODI
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPvamQFXKj
咸若宮轟然倒塌。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGt4ZU2vPK
