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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DWC9XMVtt
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74FS0MBYuH
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCPsU3Ggva
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHluGcR9E5A
「慢著！」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x0TlJ0toQ
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx59nIk5E9
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUUhm0301Z
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4pyMC2bW9
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbQvP0h6fD
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAa05gl9cn
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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryzGSoexH5
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyhsKS5H3R
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsWGI8EjRm
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uj6v6MF9b
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv4v7CSucz
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSwryAsQjj
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbIJdbVoz3
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUPUiCncZX
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi3qSb8kzI
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLpbhIPfSy
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA4b5nqRgI
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ1P80FRfM
「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――」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboB8Zhzbpp
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dX8av6QTS
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jUV8AJ7XP
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMAYBuqk9A
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKDpANHJ5i
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i3zf5asFt
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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UktOVb6oq
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwswUEzga5o
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbodXV7Hb7
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfwwdZRyVC
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfnmf6wpsq
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQswDu65fKk
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkIinWfdYD
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14MMYEYO3p
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtqxd2gRvg
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBeiuyMqR0
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev712MFFUC
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zD3TVyJIF
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeurzoy7nhh
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdlTJ7CfpZ
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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBVFavZfhb
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrTlXRzzCj
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IvtjtpMt8
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ378AOCl74T
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme8L28R5n1
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUs7q6QKe0T
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMP0Pz3Gm8
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhs9gQRRLO
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuVVuOkUw9
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqoQf8pS4V
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQVj86w3b2
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJUi3px9RZ
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNHpj8A3RJ
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqdo6v0fND
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6khbwK6U0
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR409bcd6TP
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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eCLwl5RwU
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY2YNoQb8n
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cCtnLyw3X
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIwUI7W3vA
毒蛇。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m65zE6RAQ
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGnIFV3DHN
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpeNrgNCPU
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXTGehbYm1
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc4xAX8mLc
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K3kG5i2ol
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE0CIogfpu
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5V4F20InP
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtUdxEIjWo
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2jYuNuuYE
「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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdrJL2972O
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCE8nExUjj
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbA6wL35Hm
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr0OuU8WvS
「好！」砲手高舉右手。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfhK5cuTvo
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mUy4k7bSU
「放！」朱玹咆哮。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMlXSdWnQH
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAI5RjaA5I
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElF82iiIxP
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8pYBDt5ND
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpBvwDy9tW
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4srvXOCDdW
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIoNxXq5fm
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyAKCMvX1P
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAhDSvpm1G
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIClbYrJziD
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuPYFwez93
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKUn81AwCg
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIvGBFkTVs
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uCaLyKyxd
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RbMupbZOx
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GTvO7EZNa
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHce3yXERz
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmm4AhnYpc
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qNHxAdmz4
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGzca8AEVY
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegQPxpaJRK
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVUBMeyFQw
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaM9jH6rCX
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQpKQqd4Qk
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK4VZOBOFT
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45M7J47nEn
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbGhmqrsm9
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDwrEhCfF9
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5uPkkUCNs
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQV5iiogmM
「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。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ98f3sRAcj
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh8G5ORP7P
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL3rqo5oPy
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7EIWiupCQ
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPV1OI7zN5
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKD6NqqdJD
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsIXY8AAJG
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5Hx9aHuye
一切都像是靜止了。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HVvtu9gcc
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq91QRITOJG
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8FZ8XImzd
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa10ojTfnJi
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqszzMrMGWh
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvD53rZZe7
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7s4sXpihs
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPgR1sdeng
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BSWG3XhMv
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxneRvM1vkj
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。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9tvruFazP
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QAvWj3kvc
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv2lnmenRZ
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS47GBaHK9h
「放！」朱玹號令。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v2N4e4h1q
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GjMHVf4pm
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxMTHvU9o4
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzje7ktR4wK
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxKDJANyT5
306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7ThUrkXmI
咸若宮轟然倒塌。306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrceLyfsgm
