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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXBvZTz7VH
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1NtzAgslS
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdJLi8o3oa
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8KRgTVdw3
「慢著！」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuJsbehZ5i
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFYdNSSGKr
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAaW0s28i9
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVh8kVWjCx
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK3oAHU5Ik
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpAEMIio3N
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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC5HkFOAZI
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt1ffpElgM
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV13C5k9oaF
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jO0b1GrVn
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCzb84qQ4W
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpb6WA6LjE
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N6PmwO2hA
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXPREyoBnE
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3hYW4aGrM
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqar2blVnK0
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBmE6WrIke
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WqmVCiMcJ
「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――」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed0ZuvIWze
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9hNOwNQSb
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAr0TF2rKn
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDJdYmnoY7
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAE4alO3Dh
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXpOjCTpBw
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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNYtDh73fD
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tbwL2idZd
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uyCfimESw
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2kXuRoFUQ
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvW5ufTEq9
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbFYvHdN97
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt7M4rX28A
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNmcWxDbKe
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBeVWRU7vV
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYwMxTJEqp
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaJu1brCjv
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPhKv2aRzK
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp9PIbRsQ7
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ538YElSbeL
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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFIeu0FPQ0
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLqW2ap2iS
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbgXot9Znu
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjh2QX1tD4
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOKc6Vf2lM
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lz0NjwAVd
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfzI6OLhON
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJvy4fXzLZ
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe3YXJYIMh
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8NC8R7kYL
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu3Uh6WHl5
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsCk6B4Vvg
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0woKFx4SJu
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxcoVBg3EX
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQgMTh3cUX
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaqmy0PNlU
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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36qZVW3jVZ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ120QEmAa8H
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Ge02khSB
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8LiN0eeU4
毒蛇。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpSduoKElW
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYlzxhs61H
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0a6ZabUs7
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlCXlxNkEy
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaunJiEp1I8
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGReHTeDYV
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyduxg1xRNP
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgKk3Verbb
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gyktSeN3E
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDsvLsW5az
「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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wdg1r8rfs
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbycgZCORzh
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReIcM1EjCb
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZieEKmif7
「好！」砲手高舉右手。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q58nAYPDb
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJsXvVTNPc
「放！」朱玹咆哮。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9rJxBTNVB
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbaVEzA5R8
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNUwnkTW79
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPA3CivE88
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9gvHbJHwX
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3sHvZg8Mz
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EKhZYJiFX
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuDwsObeiu
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY7L4QZpeN
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxodUyDCDXP
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl3BVCa4oj
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnHBVRGmss
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkaM3E2MGs
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidyKqVTT05
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv2zavyLBK
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TcVUbfDqX
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YcPRcVhZ8
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdlpx6eMxC
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkEujM3zTp
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcywfjSieDx
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWQvtm6LVz
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bg3DSrI4r
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWlLx5MwEs
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIGL9IAkXG
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyJag9prMQ
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB0FVaIMjV
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PcYl706z3
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSZnnDQKbF
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkUq05ZjnF
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXIdtOEUSg
「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。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR8wFhFEOp
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xnvGR4GDw
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzOdDaWNkf
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLtysU87Xk
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDLZKByGmb
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMpHlJc9xF
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4akPNdoh3
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE1BR1HmEG
一切都像是靜止了。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RrmecOQjw
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJyu4K4UH6
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6YP3986zg
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbC11mZipp
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJvvvVjJTF
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ500XQdsQai
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGUxCMAp9Z
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZFTCYkasI
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9atHvuc9s
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMyml92xSq
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。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn6WMpnAQe
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oDFgnjAjF
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFZCiXuZm1
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xAehWSYz5
「放！」朱玹號令。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE9a7Vgzcq
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUhKJw4ziC
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EUWDTmIBG
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nGgLxeXU8
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSXUUXlhJR
354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDKFSTgMW3
咸若宮轟然倒塌。354Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DH6MMP4C3
