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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZC4r9W2yS
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcPUJsEjoG
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4f2rjXm4L
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OoD8vRVPd
「慢著！」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGbi1ktnil
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qZwulGGYS
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYWyeqWXgV
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lilZDzRTv
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYAiyqmy9x
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM52pSyWNX
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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR1OwQobBZ
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLIwGiVSqY
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kh4M33qtY
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjfM46qm9V
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0p6FuWUx2
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPLXH5q4Cd
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmgZkOKuK0
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQivecag2K
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeLLcjHcm6
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczlXqqodfU
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoUxfooUzd
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMz4sVcuMO
「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――」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6I4xilfpf
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8eT2dSPl8
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcJDTz0pqY
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVImpF37ad
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K3uHlDbCN
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTHnNHkiLS
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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6nSyg5vhn
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmxS8IzJLM
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmmbM4l7Zg
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5KKeJCr06
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkocFbmpPzZ
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CyDLNcAEk
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9aXp5tRYU
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrHiO0bJ8B
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqLS74dUvL
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHKEkgl0Gu
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcCRD3ifkK
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z3aUbwVxY
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBSDa1aXFG
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqh9zmjRBK
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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmowoFX9oE
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpRiDQycfv
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdgLjdxCft
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PR4KKvcR1
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ3JliPMOt
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLvNNuypAE
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe7C37dsEi
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgVw1rx83J
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ILSONSSKY
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstGquJEsMm
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5octqlTxBZ
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQT2KqGMRo
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIQ1iSTH50
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uNNfC22bL
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTOISOhZTF
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSkYPj84SE
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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm92zBTUmN
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lh2pPrLjS
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xiw92JVkn
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAZigRoeXx
毒蛇。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGhjprST01
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiowDZ7ktjB
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9kprBhXrl
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEISMLmHeYU
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6zzOmkbay
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSJYLPDxvD
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZeOTbRAna
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qCiLyCZvh
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACs88xUTya
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rQuG6oPRZ
「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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGsRsaordG
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNwkWIhbnN
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN1LNX9uAV
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvIs1vtedv
「好！」砲手高舉右手。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qmz5tkfRw
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn5jHHlaNG
「放！」朱玹咆哮。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfwFSfFKy7
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvRc840QP8
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs13ylUT13h
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWkEo2ZmQN
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarrhLnZAc2
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGwVRMUrDs
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx8CZrMQOL
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JtOFVtRy8
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpsCTtXuXg
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyRRPCNYAv
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM98Do6Deh8
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UnhmI8FxO
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjsVEYq4vu
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OhwZYs5WM
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Yo9tlmXVQ
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsQVqnCw3q
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJsuIBwqvN
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KKxkRQsle
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuu6pAJ6N4
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12MZA2l5eE
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWXFrfczkq
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5amUK6E0W
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR8jI7APGy
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyxiAjxulY
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSQrfbtNE1
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIzyiNIPRg
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqNEFsPjbY
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlxqVlcBji
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY43TkVRya
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mmYifL25q
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsTqfEqXss
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDGQmwFl5S
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbc9edvsJX
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TZMowbUWo
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofzKcA5aCm
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEtA3A6oVR
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyGgflzIZK
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOS47HlLW5
一切都像是靜止了。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VXPGnVBKb
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSfWWNg6Xl
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyPUlVgKCC
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTQfww1HN3
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69XevqqgUd
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXtXBJ3Z4k
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVrARx6zRC
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdNu1x9SXz
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1408QwzNuS
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83XgBD9PcQ
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnILY93Sq45
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFJ9yfEcjg
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22HWSRHhm7
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAzxS5tCQj
「放！」朱玹號令。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysdfi6Ef0Y
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbNnEJ5lf7
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofPvTGOVuO
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA38V7i6Xb5
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAYDRmQgZ4
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd93RoO2zlk
咸若宮轟然倒塌。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fkHapU06i
