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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kV5lcAFc4
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgRgZ1vvS0
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayycYzh3sa
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF6jsDCMLe
「慢著！」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqt3ORFtCO
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfAxtQSrzc
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vFG7MVZid
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMOU8foE92
「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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpJZ1GDV6k
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1FNJ4n273
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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiqj7mH4AC
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1D4tFyHmW
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70LhN2oYvf
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl1chWQ62A
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxBuG7WOAk
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42SXFsJf4T
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVHrAPzbB0
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQsU72OZb7
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6E5fxhg7C
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGugvjK8wCF
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJL4uDZ60K
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dh7P2MpLz
「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――」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTomykAlue
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAgkFIRe9N
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4z2TxJz6f
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabJsJ2UjsS
「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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDr6t0o5jA
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ffjHyWJzt
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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzf3ntjfz4
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74TVixhgYA
「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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVUBy7pMlj
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiK4pUj0Jp
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVdMATiTp5
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb5MmOsxPP
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlV01nmVWg
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYG0HPUHrc
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cCruZZa0L
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAy4iRsjDk
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VXSLvCSFg
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpqN1FuaE0
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoIoF7hxKV
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgKRAvjasB
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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGsGefreZQ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqIucIDUvR
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9YZ8q78VZ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3uKgpKNA9
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XTAjYSHWx
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWF1qS5iH4
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatnTr2tz9H
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5TMersH7N
「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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6B5P69hXy
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfJDOgNwXU
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNyJ87QfjF
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CYctMpqgx
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDP9K8ddU6
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM6yfJLCiC
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcOXYofShZ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pQnWsy3io
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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmS0HE1NK1
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmTMALDgx4
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NNFtEb3IR
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAF1slIdt2
毒蛇。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiGLRclWWr
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJtV3WrdYg
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Iv4LALBm
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX2qiFYIMC
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoxHEs7A6m
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwZwwCoQY4
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaM98jvj1o
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl933EKbBy
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWhL0T06PT
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrShnInjkW
「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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mMibtfyAx
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmqYUMvrob
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdeG2h9pqR
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3LQZUxDZT
「好！」砲手高舉右手。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHTzvWfHlg
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVEFd7ggwN
「放！」朱玹咆哮。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovbRM8yoKz
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyT9CaoaLe
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1bJndnIeD
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DWkKqM83W
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8Lp2pa1wj
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrj7Nkrcuh
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEUC0g72ux
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7xn2KtRpU
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIU7scLNbe
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6lEK0SFE4
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszgT4cnZVy
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkVs0mIITp
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiQ3EDqnww
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSutRK2uZd4
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarpCdoEYAW
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8c7HWbhsY
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7swxLIEqYM
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mTjnM4eHB
「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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ug7f4UMnv
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgKJPJwXqX
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LMa1QoZeE
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1xortw5tF
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrImo7elNC
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuYzDoTg7c
「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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDBcxA5B6M
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXco8ZL9h0D
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGx4kmmEuz
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6SNVgEeM1
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ReYvXvHA0
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GHYUSaPWl
「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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPo5uuscpm
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBtqGZCDR2
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTWodxiPqI
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKwg1PmCfQ
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzxkUhv7Kk
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuU7iwk73A
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzusF6BdU8
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p7YhdER2f
一切都像是靜止了。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUficbPkCn
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLMVE7HNZQ
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFdel6S5HH
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwnLWA6pTo
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmhbSNBEWB
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhgcLEJfau
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd9pJx6cmF
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3domLQ8WW
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9rpjfhjxf
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwdxKh7l7O
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSha7ruiZmr
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpsFvlxnJd
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DRtS8zKpy
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BrdaWSiNC
「放！」朱玹號令。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZaPfurmTr
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT21ng0VzaZ
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeukHsnFyv
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUXkt4vwLP
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76Pg2GB5p3
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WAd9h17Ni
咸若宮轟然倒塌。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWB4YQGgBt
