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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nVrQT2fmM
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfsXzpTXzY
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAXxy6reDJ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpW7hdZU6p
「慢著！」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVrVnDtObf
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaBxBcfN1u
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljNm6MPn3l
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ft1QHJ5Ni
「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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMVm4mto0T
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6caLHJ4Gc
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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ztc11wRE5
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD27T1wNeX
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRqF4oD4vz
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8QpHMY0S8
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIclUTlqhx
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu0gXfunLk
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc7FlnYppb
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJdku2fXmu
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvoN7YWv5E
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcn0FBlSyF
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vchazDSgt
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmXbWwJNq3
「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――」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYql8LaFFG
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79HS7J9xrH
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ks0GfdIvC
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT27QCKBA5G
「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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxt51md0kh
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQhW79pbOK
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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyZP0yK22E
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMq39rLSGS
「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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ewf3CbYj5
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdtz89aauT
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEMIGNFIZw
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ5TIqmof7
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbIBKSqqRI
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa5d6ujtrL
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGWCNVVp8L
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ8ND3Tv4o
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUmcT9B4Kv
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgThOUobbK
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7ySOz84hy
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzmhzSctid
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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IW71nDeUb
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWAOsWmgHJ
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlaeQOf2D1
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGQ32mVDf5
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdAVRXZ9Ws
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRJaB3WFJu
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o0vPBNzyv
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRc8B37gpk
「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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGWeJuINJm
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl3nPdrNBu
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aCepnayph
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdWXQfBqts
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ybDY7NjpL
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i8U3YjS8l
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUFLbjJsvZ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqxFxuhB4j
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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhKrZrKbPy
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQpmAv9FCu
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYaTpyC8s4
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nOzPV4oj1
毒蛇。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPuLmXdiuc
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JmjIV3o01
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mvBxr96Wv
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7L45pLrxi
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4fm2P1xUE
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR0gYqQJA6
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43caAFsZwA
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSifuK4nb25
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfQHJkXuD5
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6sumy36Qm
「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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywjiWlqWMU
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUjaN7i154
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL0zl6l5Mj
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbJKGhjrP3
「好！」砲手高舉右手。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJr5vVjJ99
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhnKeQIhLX
「放！」朱玹咆哮。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxoE43SZPl
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxERC7ZcjZb
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfzNZAZyxA
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaWENrpULy
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Iiz1Ly162
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMSHyUAXbr
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgji0B5ckn
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5VQ09jfzU
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEqcFYxe8B
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvbs6KYtRP
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1on3LkUDjv
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwwL3RgYDK
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjAvSK9WPK
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYwTEGsZ5A
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydJ1T9CPd7
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsInW2l73Tn
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjinb0ts4bE
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1kBlnFklv
「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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pIlueIa0j
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxKT6gz9R5
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpvV1MxUCZ
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK8JOhKexV
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRJtkiFjCb
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgGJd7VPKj
「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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP2alLgU3w
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlbOFMgf1K
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDylzivdP9
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00IA8uxcP4
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF2B0UQZdG
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDseNtfhRH
「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。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qPyfw7W5I
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08MQ8IKVco
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wP22m9jpu
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA6zrQpyTl
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTRsmqC4md
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAdE1cz8WL
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp31u5jUZ5y
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzFMcAdUeT
一切都像是靜止了。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDKg6ePyEL
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5UignrsT2
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2gfM8iyZr
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hcE73Q41B
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ1oZzH2DY
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3bZO6qPHD
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4BCb1QAsf
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4Tdk7qwxm
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhcNIPVj8n
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hk4tkAQth
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。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKf4aTX3Xb
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgg4POwBuK
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOmzt5DLPT
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIZNiC5p32
「放！」朱玹號令。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bdWCEZgtW
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IaT1Fnc1I
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggf3Tb7TDj
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyhhhupwLd
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjUZQezr6D
331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT4S3XPBNk
咸若宮轟然倒塌。331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesy1nry5Mw
