還沒走到杏花林就聽見它的沙沙聲，無止盡的蕭瑟，就像深閨女兒的嘆息。夕陽的最後餘暉從枝枒間傾瀉而下，枝頭只剩萎黃的枯葉，杏花不知是何時凋謝的，應該是在四月，荼蘼花開以前。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR9UxeUR32
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV5qFWMdVU
季節總是無聲息地流轉，就像春季來時，無法知道變化是從哪一天早晨開始的，當你發現的時候，滿山的杏花都開了；當時序由盛轉衰，同樣是在不知不覺中，盛放的花葉萎成一地秋殘。那是歲月的無情，也是無常世界的有常。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni6TrESshR

湖衣踏著乾枯的黃葉，走入林間，偶然的寧靜讓她有了從沒離開金陵的錯覺，奢華的皇宮殿宇，衣袖薰著龍涏香的皇帝，暗潮洶湧的宮廷鬥爭，一切都是出自她的想像，冰月還站在前面那株杏樹旁，手裡捧著香案，要她一起對著花神祭拜，祈求花神讓她們長成和杏花一樣嬌艷，這樣，未來的夫君就會愛她們一生一世。那時她是個待嫁女兒，現在……360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2omvOUH8Rm

朱玹牽著兩人的坐騎，踩著不疾不徐的步伐向她走來，即使鞭傷未癒，他看來依然魁拔英武，沉穩正直。灰暗的樹林須臾間有了色彩。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lqM8Ole3F
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrf7DUHATK
「我當初就是在這裡被綁走的。」湖衣指著那片光禿的杏樹。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gVZgiZpss
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEuvGRckXR
「所以妳一語不發地跳下馬背，一路直奔過來，」朱玹說得莫可奈何，神情還是柔軟的，「就為了看這傷心地？」360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl8tgVjjLK
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D47I0QYCS
「不是，我是說，這不是個傷心地，」她微仰著臉，就這麼望著他，「如果我沒被綁走，就不會和你相遇。」360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvPcMsQ7Cd
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXZdvOwxrF
無論何時，若是他向她走來，她就會義無反顧地朝他走去，縱然一路風雨相隨，望不盡的漫漫長夜，只因為有他，前方有了光亮，她有了值得企盼的未來，她感動到直想落淚。 360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzSMSrYljw
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmawm9OO0ce
原來這崎嶇長路的終點，是你啊。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtapF24g0j
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlffi0FONJa
「別說癡話，」他看不出她百轉千迴的心事，僅輕輕牽動了唇角，那抹笑溫柔得像是冬陽乍現，可她都瞧見了。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9GxDRhno4
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXjNSRa9Ji
穹蒼轉成朦朧的灰，杏樹葉子也漸漸轉暗。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmuzbtROT2
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSPdwdwBCA
「天色暗了，想入城可得快點。」他催促著，「別讓妳爹娘久候。」360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkAEu4TUnF
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnMfnnDr6V
湖衣笑而不語，心中暗嘆：都等過這麼些時日了，還差一時半刻嗎？360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvvfSBynzu
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KRrhzjPmf
當日派人送她出城，才過通州驛站，京城便傳來消息：睿靖王朱玹因皇宮大火一案獲罪下獄，囚禁大理寺。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuJI0xQRwO
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxazL1EbuSg
她終於明白，原來是他扛下所有罪責，才換得她的自由。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJfZM9yHd8
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNBjDwInoU
她立即調轉馬頭進城，不顧一切衝向大理寺，陳訴自己才是火患的罪首，大理寺寺丞根本不願搭理她，命令侍衛將她驅走，也不讓她探監。許逵等人屢勸不聽後，索性先安排她在城裡住下，再前往金陵尋訪她的父母。原來父親棄官之後，在莫愁湖畔興創了崇文書院，與幾位同樣不願在官場沉浮的仕人一同講經督學。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7KIN87uYv
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcnbjpRA6f
知道父母安然無恙後，她更決意留在京城，爾後每日到大理寺門前等待，手裡緊握著他給她的板指，唯一的念想是親眼見他獲釋。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfqKdWW5bV
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBTXpD6LwH
等到夏去秋來，京城蒙上一層抑鬱的顏色。五日前，朱玹禁閉滿百日，皇帝下了恩旨，釋放朱玹，撤了他不得擅離京城的禁制。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5BoO54vjB
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ78Lt3UlC
當他步出大理寺，看見她迎上前來的第一句話：是妳啊！360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIapfG2nUa
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTvyWgQOw8
等了百日，迷霧終於散去。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjs1Ax8pyL
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZIYpmJJ0S
那怕相隔千萬里，在浩瀚人海中，他們總會尋著彼此。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC2UZPoIWa
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v5jKQuFRd
她喋喋不休地說著與他分別後的事兒，他微笑著傾聽。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ1G5g6H4p
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5xoXCzWuU
待她掏心掏肺地說完心底的話，他提議：一起去金陵吧！360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkxYCJIJTD
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrE8uQ7U21
朱玹知她想念家人，願陪著她一路南下。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWMMV4Ki0g
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrq8PlN9Fm
她自然思念家人，思念金陵，更掛記至今依然不知所蹤的冰月。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2glTp1vKg
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkUMMIpwpD
湖衣有預感，冰月一定在世上某處安然無恙，但是她一定要看見冰月才能安心。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHQnnZKKS9
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBH9sdnvky
「趕緊走吧！」他牽過馬匹，伸手欲助她上馬。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HDbXhqKgI
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREdP7xZqUO
「嗯。」她正要搭上他的手，強烈的亮光射過來，教她一時睜不開眼，只聽見雜沓的腳步聲拍打地面。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYRtfp7mGJ
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalyRrXBeiZ
等到她恢復視覺，一群舉著火炬，腰配繡春刀的緹騎，橫列在眼前。朱玹轉過身去，後方有更多人切斷他們的退路，這群人約有百名之數，想脫身只怕不易。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h3ANbLQxf
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVJtcQdzjZ
「錦衣衛？」湖衣倒抽了一口氣。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqeNPzE8JB
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwflHJqGu7M
朱玹盯住身著飛魚服的指揮使。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFptItIEj16
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA76bgHq15
右面一名千戶上前幾步，躬身向朱玹行了一揖，「王爺，我等奉陛下口喻，緝拿逃犯回京，請王爺切勿阻攔。」360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPYoeURydR
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgJBFJ32jy
朱玹哼了一聲，「一派胡言，可有駕帖？」360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg29lNViuzn
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISqdhHjcmP
指揮使一時語塞。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7CF4kgoSj
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGFZkuvpFK
皇帝既然有明旨，湖衣歿於咸若宮大火，即是恩赦之意，斷不會再派人追捕，口喻是假。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7SQWHNBez
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hvj9T0SbN
「西廠拿人，無須駕帖。」一個陰柔至極的聲音從前面傳來。湖衣這才發現錦衣衛緹騎中還有為數不少的太監。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYnWhUvpiM
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtngW2W8aj
最前一排緹騎分別往兩旁退開，一個噩夢中才會出現的人影走了出來。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZI83pafDz
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQN7itQMBu
汪直。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TudtDZYoJ
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe7287UDl8
「王爺，皇妃娘娘。」汪直向朱玹和湖衣各行了一禮，「汪某在此恭候多時了，請娘娘跟隨小的回去覆命。」360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpf43NzqK4
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjg16IrJI60
錚的一聲，朱玹長劍出鞘，跨前數步，橫劍擋在湖衣身前。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMhOPrOQnh
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWGoV4ILAr
「王爺定要為難汪某，」汪直又露出了那抹令人寒慄的笑，「西廠廠眾，奉上口喻，捉拿逃犯，若有抗拒者，就地正法！」360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCpJdAIf3U
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7cF6bz3TW
轉眼間，四周圍繞了滿坑滿谷的敵人。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddeftZmoHJ
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGexVAyAku5
湖衣望向杏花林的緩坡上，高掛著一輪血月，一株乾枯的杏樹，樹枝就像是伸向布著星子的無垠黑暗中，一隻焚燒的手掌。360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUQR9lY59X
