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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOOUvEyHie
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq0bFEQx0U
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZbMU9IG1Z
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmVVxOCXYR
「慢著！」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgBXOTHBzt
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaUEYkOHJc
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VfMi1GBqx
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVT2ltGL60
「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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZROWZR6jy
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjdpdpOEsm
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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1FP8rCJjk
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjMIQ1qPuU
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJSjsFLOHQ
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpQ1hIpIrT
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4qDRog3d2
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlpCtIaVbq
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOrRORgkZp
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpkFnAuWLU
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQUStj8eqz
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCWO215zgH
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cb11hQfz1
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRmuQns8sU
「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――」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG2fIHinau
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsRMcB94ZQ
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn80vGO1v6c
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj2bEk7cWE
「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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJLTDmlzY7
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7ANj7I515
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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5qDEEWaRB
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykTeu54gxS
「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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrflRx2yMXD
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtHygP8Rrk
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSlbKakKhp
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29sm1LfvpV
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlbKqFtDpz
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvnb4VZ2K3
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fJZgNfzOF
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yK6D6EJWv
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbljUs0eGSk
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6geOFs2usG
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtipA1LBEaz
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEhLFOl6yo
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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUvOYePwe5
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodPWAhQsze
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe99VHtzPSh
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKbVOUTI59
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtVpdEFoMd
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDMwEvB2FN
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKnzsQfsx8
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLbA6Tr2Fd
「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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvnYbd4ZCk
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUQY26JCwK
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNmkWu17da
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMJol8PNJ9
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RJ7D0waSa
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoukmmMOiWS
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffmHXND2ud
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWebfhZB6Ko
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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vlnL6uiWs
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStocdnnmcm
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B8gJ32Ez0
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrxopGxK3c
毒蛇。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLJDknDidc
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDwSZFlB4j
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8Pl7f2N0i
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQotqJVp0Kx
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuZKNuaNr3
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMjXLj9S3Y
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUklnbhn90Z
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFbQoPamFP
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmsvfWxZVk
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOAhRSrHYz
「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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9lrHhRcrn
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLQimiAJOA
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANRKRYgFSn
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQpeOAHnOn
「好！」砲手高舉右手。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgQVg55jsb
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxynVL7WIrF
「放！」朱玹咆哮。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s3rX9UQ1w
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qXUpQpfWu
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UY8wKmGnO
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTLApTG0jv
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu20Lxg6JJQ
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5QfATD7MP
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF0yo9JUqq
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLqBtzDZ3j
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKQMfDJniq
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZwWbzmVYQ
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0h3dxzJpN
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLD8vy5SjL
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVuimdKNQ7
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡughJzoQvS5
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdZYSeKYvC
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nlHQ1ZoCh
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvilO3YNj0
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCa6j5DQyn
「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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZfW1HaSp1
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxAYapj1ZX
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5S4RYVRCw
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20OgKsHsUN
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaCHJ4eMS4
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O56bOHqx7
「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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AUnUH8VzD
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RAvLfG8Rg
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiRvzZjIrg
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq5j1MdVJr
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRMP3CaWUG
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cFnDrYyX1
「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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPYhPXGoZ4
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF4plpMKcY
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1pTQiSj8x
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl48zKyzkCb
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkJmW1bMr8
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wvd6yH4sG
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjVOFl0RBT
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8YJrw9iVj
一切都像是靜止了。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDSG5KLHIQ
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTucn5bTBK
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U3O1Aor6p
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTR0lPuiOr
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRitBY31SX
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEIHaQ3b3v
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDXImfclRL
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpKJOq5fqm
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYnHlJDCQj
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D4MlGFNy4
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti6jQxesHn
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jsg7j0cmY
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg1TZniVZW
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyePGz9QJD
「放！」朱玹號令。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU97cibHO3N
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYBHJL2B9V
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIghc9kd5AA
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTXUFDe2Yb
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG3kj8zoG6
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgL01383ZQ
咸若宮轟然倒塌。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDmvyI3F7N
