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。」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrC6846xtT
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXTxKywoRS
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxYOA08ETK
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwko0L7t6nY
「慢著！」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjRKPCqFx0
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUj60GHMvU
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFZbAjN7kA
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8OAueojvT
「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。」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1lNeK2hNh
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenHaVAU78l
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。」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLyJ7R7VM1
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9sLoDh3hI
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u7T89CfpA
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFsx1QqMWa
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtrvv8eyQ3
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KZSQs8vv2
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEWO96nmTb
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72g3dOE0q2
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AZ2Rdej1U
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg6uchuPiI
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00JHOICQO8
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4FlktwTPX
「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――」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiKA2Xidlw
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsZOOfPlG7
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiltLHMosLt
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tIv77qKlq
「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。」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ255qQnkPTl
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vJIKZVPpj
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。」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPI5DRuVPY
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEFD80LSYC
「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。」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJmnIC1D5N
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRVzSx4m6M
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7pLnNsVOS
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzRHuH7fWN
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bnuupz0z2
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBnaYomfEt
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipoOCXOe0N
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PSdesO6Oe
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtborbLSguT
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gtLpR3Kja
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemoSmL3tyV
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8P5R2fe63
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。」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQGCayJxHI
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrLPVq4zwk
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuZ3XWqiu6
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAp2sClwER
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjPVXrFnfh
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnfnMeeYml
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzemJ8ipmDW
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbbqslrmNF
「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。」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL9ndkq0Ll
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqaZc9nJh4
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkitEjItuFf
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eMNVIe5nU
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ2f1VagGQ
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmOg38rS1w
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuJ9VNQqAz
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZInqjnzcU4
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。」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k2gPN2yak
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6mmKAj01Q
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEZZrKRx99
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzM5Mjujo5
毒蛇。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4z4D1maZq
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90ruDiXInD
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVNrlt1HJ3
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYzjpqu9Sd
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFLWMqD2Gq
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0CYtj5lsL
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzJNTbqc1r
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V0iqPMLGB
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Mds7nn7x
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwkHUYtzN6
「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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQjTil4mGB
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi9g1KCqSt
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI9H5f8exR
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k2uvhKYLZ
「好！」砲手高舉右手。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbeCEs26R3
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5fdMo1aki
「放！」朱玹咆哮。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFwyqijbgo
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEXYylvGin
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMhhp0fHb9
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSzz7GSudU
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cu4j4yCjl
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstu7JN5nXb
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hr40vCmEL
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp0kdTp5It
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rkbHRQjpb
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21OkV5rKJD
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fgrE2Z9pd
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ9ra0apOG
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe59OYRh2j0
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJv7SuLVOr
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5SYXaJ9Yb
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGWX1E4vzx
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQGlOlDPKD
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxnUSRR2li
「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。」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATEHIiBGL5
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKebQgoksvG
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdQusQVQNB
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU5v0q6cR7
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47hclTn9H4
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUm9kPwJc6M
「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。」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMdgEaX3dk
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJBH3FlMPO
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1HdJid9VH
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ErWHzbl7G
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjv6rUdLQ7
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNQHTtAgjg
「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。」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDeO235SXW
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRaHQcdXJH
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUBjsrkfW8
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNaK8mVK8D
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpzLErK9G6
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIA4KNFWu8
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXw9F6zb9Z
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEuEmSKu7J
一切都像是靜止了。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem0OX3wTZ2
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxRkNpgWmc
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA7KqGzoKz
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtVv5wW0mM
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHxpBBYYXO
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K2mMVmOq8
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkaquXtlFt
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXk92lucKG
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxoGgmMOFo
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jgxvvpAyS
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。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMuSvMyWPV
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKfgAZ5F15
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG5W1oQmP8
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nnQYsi28T
「放！」朱玹號令。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSarxDf9Clj
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwRF92BInN
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl8PQhepE7
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQz4SkjQ2B
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieRmovMBKI
243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVFwsLwUvP
咸若宮轟然倒塌。243Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDit3t6OISl
