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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhsmip3RdU
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1bstGPT6P
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoCnloujmo
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sVgnEFTxz
「慢著！」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZUN70DBam
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzWH5vz7Fg
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwematWKZDu
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm7hbhYPtv
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGbAHKPCuf
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoVBK3QcGZ
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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7duC6Jky3
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9PMTiAUb8
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGs8bnIbJ6
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOgAekD4nG
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm1TQVSFGQ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkvbu0MKpg
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJnxf4Tine
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0Yk4Ks2lk
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdUHDh4XdJ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuGFPPB4H3
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgS3iOybw7
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DyFe0w0FH
「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――」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSle5zwRbXp
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo5T8UA6M5
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HU14IjbgF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvQBu0TfTK
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCyfc5tEdL
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUXLX9Qhiv
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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hn8Hhb0Xg
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v4UTeL8Bf
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe8DlSEvpQ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabwoXdwcMz
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA5yICfgtD
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWikH8bUiL
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG5K7p2570
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN5KGNsaWb
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Fa1wU13G
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbf4zD168i
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzcimNTXZi
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbpGmSomeK
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWwD2KQDRZ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUCqdjJNSy
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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivPC6ksnq5
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGli8W9C5a
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLiSHLxJgJ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYqPC3hkIX
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XrvjioxOf
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjQZBw65f3
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiBHzQMnPf
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowFUjoCpao
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qrr240OlL
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj3wNo11kC
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdvswYQXFY
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHvFcPa67A
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGIrAiTZCc
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduUz6mK9q4
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nCD8JLHdQ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BpPZa6nAE
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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1VHr8ZZi0
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m41mUm8iD
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmengzZu9pF
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjg6BgpKJj
毒蛇。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALtOOKoQcM
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOZNohKmkD
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9tGHNbf6I
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX5HtVNNrP
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucdCLd4Fre
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx5dAl50XZ
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSGaCqRSOW
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c95Lrdv4a
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DoG22yLia
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo1cQCP3GE
「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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2gJwu7WN7
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT6lrd8o4o
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx73MgNNQw
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOsEFrDTgL
「好！」砲手高舉右手。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2gYOJO5wg
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy56iIuzBY
「放！」朱玹咆哮。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTS9gmjNRm
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuHfb7HP4o
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9QF8EGQrJ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8W13LqIAg
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nNUP4quUw
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNxhNG7HWu
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmZtFeBDUi
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTVfKOHddX
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E9iHRvHQ1
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMfsNKFCol
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDXwjo7xd8
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8etNaZ0OL
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu64GR0weL
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsKf4DmLtO
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX4nLEvTwq
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALu3ps4bzV
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4Hbjl8OkV
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVHAn9htaa
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wqnrucpJT
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYkYAcFOss
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvZjAYRAiO
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jcKrCrrzs
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK0YQLxN1r
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9rTPblbQM
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJEdbPOpFs
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzEJdJc7Kk
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2givIHKSZ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6T0pa0iU5
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEiLU9Pu81
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC3azreZz5
「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。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kxMj2l5EJ
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh5OFmKC3S
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcN93GnMms
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSSQSBOvwb
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteJeWy2yBg
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjsHHpR4kt
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG2lDo574s
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOFSiuH6Nf
一切都像是靜止了。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTZRJM5f3P
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikqzmWXCKg
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLs3Ts3Nrq
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dBPxtN4of
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYes08HfOEs
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQX5A8sxcC
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYv1pz89gA
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkkp0kteka
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0ZGlfEw4E
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCWCq5qrnD
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。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHl8Ltpl7C
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ubAusTmQ1
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYeqrPxTV4
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vn99v2UqS
「放！」朱玹號令。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClHf26IZyt
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSIGIdzbZd
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk7RQIm5j4
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq3fs2gf3l
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE0kd9n8OS
266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtD8nwORtB
咸若宮轟然倒塌。266Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkihe0XkEsT
