醫院內，十大家族專屬個人病房。謝喬嚇得鬆手，就在茶杯即將掉到地板的剎那，李博洋反應飛快地接住杯子，避免茶水灑滿地的悲劇。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvNuBQdFlv
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVtPFKPCMO
「是的，令堂被關押，絞刑日期未定，估計是在中秋後。」李博洋把茶杯放回桌子，「時間比我想像中快，照這樣下去，您會來不及與夫人道別。該怎麼辦呢？二公子。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDzBb2AUu6
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkahS1qZ2w9
「什麼怎麼辦！你不是來幫我的嗎！？」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJKrotvrkV

謝喬大罵，吼完才發現自己有多失禮。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ShqVnLMid
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseq4fua2Qn
「咳……家母是我奪嫡的重要力量，她死對我們沒有好處。」謝喬假裝鎮定，「博洋先生，高宇維不會放任這種情形發生的，對吧？」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdq2P5rQie
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ025tPaPQbo
「當然，我不是說了嗎？」李博洋瞄了一眼窗戶，「您是我們對抗謝照顏的重要夥伴，宇維少爺要我竭盡所能協助您。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtm07VjuTX
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsnXi83xOp
謝喬僥倖一笑，「聽您的意思，是想到方法了？」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwYQyZHtzS
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx8afaUJYq
「不是方法，是賭注。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5fthyzMte
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIl4R0uIKb
李博洋叫謝喬靠近一點，在他耳邊說了悄悄話。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBP46Jy9Yt
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyQqJbbNfy
「這……！」謝喬瞪大眼睛，「博洋先生，如果失敗，您知道會有什麼後果嗎？」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeklmMY7Br
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdhAYgx462
「換個角度想：如果成功，豈不皆大歡喜？你能成為家主、令堂免於一死、令妹從此過著幸福快樂的生活……一切如你所願。」李博洋說：「與其白白等死，不如賭這一把，不成功便成仁。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu7ZrOzEAj
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBFvCmsLOg
「……。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbDHYRcspq
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1ewmsvjfo
謝喬思考很久，久到李博洋開始參觀他的病房。二十分鐘後，謝喬抬頭，眼神堅定地告訴他：639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgZeof2DuV
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4FP2QExPn
「我明白了，就這麼做吧。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGidQsRjTu

李博洋十分滿意。他摸了摸脖子上的佛珠，「預祝我們，合作愉快。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhpJskDia7

書房內，謝照顏眼神凜冽地瞪著李晴煬，「你說我兒子為了權力，不惜殺死自己的父親？」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDefSFjIooG
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPIhgNrDuO
「誰叫你打算殺死他媽，何況，你是不是他爸爸，還不知道呢。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WOj95qAQc
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOOxQFmaQV
坐在謝照顏對面的李晴煬兩手撐頭，悠哉問：「我把這消息告訴您了。謝老爺，您打算怎麼做？」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k0kbidUXk
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUOpnjMoW9
謝照顏冷哼，「小少爺，你的命在我手上，想活命就去解決謝喬，這問題應該是我問你。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9twXkGAEB
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd80qA0Yao
李晴煬沒有回答，取而代之，他將一張紙蓋在桌上，遞給謝照顏。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rfwBePpuU
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFTowhxxuM
「這是什麼？」謝照顏皺眉。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw2S6340xY
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBOakUoDVx
「我喜歡演戲。」李晴煬微笑，「如果老爺願意友情客串，我會很高興。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aaHxNbaMI
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLQZrSAo0a
謝照顏沉默地、緩慢地，將那張紙打開。接下來的一分鐘，他們陷入一種奇怪的僵局。謝照顏時不時移開視線，用試探的眼神瞪著李晴煬；李晴煬認真注視謝照顏的臉，彷彿在看一幅莊嚴的畫。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLRlCYIFlJ
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5QMSKyuVZ
「結局呢？」謝照顏把紙蓋回桌上，還給李晴煬，「最重要的結局，為什麼空白？」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogAzPQpSCU
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7fKTol2qN
「我正是為此而來的，謝老爺。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin6rks1Ojw
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9aYgWRuRy
李晴煬眼裡的光澤全部消失，可是他還在笑。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpo2Xx8hVW

639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe0gP1vFAo
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gCfHWVgOT
李晴煬故意放慢語速，用詞也比平時禮貌。謝照顏在心裡感慨──這名少年的心已朽壞、毫無人性，是徹頭徹尾的惡魔，跟他爺爺不相上下。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4jPx1Qhdc
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ230p17vLOP
「無妨。」謝照顏閉上眼睛，「你不動手，我的手下也會殺他。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5NlbmjXRM
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa7ACMHnMQ
「不不，懇請老爺給我機會。二公子十分仰慕我小叔，讓他跟小叔一樣被我殺死，沒有比這更好的結局。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuhohJCuKX
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9wsuUTOuQ
虛偽的舌頭造就虛偽的心靈。看著李晴煬虛偽的臉，謝照顏不以為然，「隨你便。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn5H713Crp

作為中華文化的傳承者，謝氏對中秋節的重視僅次農曆新年，謝賢是這次的活動籌畫。月亮出來後，他們舉行一場盛大的祭月儀式，由於「男不拜月，女不祭灶」，主祭由家族的女性長輩擔任，以往這個角色是張夫人，但因為心照不宣的原因，換成謝照顏的另一名妻子。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykrSKywN36
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YkQzG21ga
祭月的步驟十分複雜。參加祭月的人須沐浴更衣、換上正式漢服；月出後，所有人在祭月專用的拜月亭，向月亮安置祭桌，供品有月餅、酒、梨、紅棗、葡萄、柿子、菱角、毛豆，及一盤切成蓮花狀的西瓜。參加祭月的女性除了眾妻妾，還有謝綠與謝頤，謝照顏與謝賢等男性負責協助；現場不見謝喬，因為他還在醫院。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUyCnufx3n
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tDc3oqPJz
「祭月！」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUAD5yvIgj
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptDK1yuNo2
擔任贊禮的謝照顏一開口，主祭便走上前，跪於席上。當贊禮唱完「三上香！」後，主祭接過執事──謝賢遞上的三支香、用祭桌上的蠟燭點燃，並朝月神一拜。同樣的過程重複三次。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggZ8YCjAkZ
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHpGTnHmvm
「三祭酒！」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwcBtMcoFX
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiZeeXimcS
一樣，贊禮唱完，執事將裝滿酒的酒爵遞給主祭。主祭將酒灑在席前的地上，將酒爵放到祭桌。同樣的過程也重複三次。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQw13tjTWh
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbRyz3tcEl
「讀祝！」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeudplDWBOT
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIopzbBqHDn
執事將一卷宣紙遞給主祭。在月光與燭光的映照下，主祭開始朗誦祝文。朗誦完畢，贊禮唱「拜月！」，主祭聽從「拜！」、「興！」、「拜！」、「興！」、「平身！」的指示跪下、拜手、起身。拜月結束，贊禮唱「從獻！」，主祭才退下，其他參祭者照長幼之序，一個個走到席前，重複剛才的上香、拜月。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l3dq2bOBH
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba6vSrOZAR
謝綠和謝頤年紀最小，是最後上前拜月的。兩人神色從容，反倒遠方觀看的李晴煬感到驚奇。透過祭月，他看見中華文化對自然、神明的敬畏，在李門的小少爺眼裡，是很不可思議的。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXa8AW8nkh
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zmGesKijr
「禮成！」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWml4Zb1HO
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMZeQ2uhji
祭月儀式完成。主祭持切刀，將月餅平分給眾人，西瓜也每人一片。拿完應得的東西，被禁足的謝綠和無心玩樂的謝頤立刻告辭。她們只參加祭月，後續的賞月、宴飲沒有她們的份。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf19RIp5anH
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ywh6EjwXY
「唉，竟然只剩我一個老大，好孤單喔嗚嗚嗚……！」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m397SkrWL
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C8N5YLkXV
指揮人撤掉祭桌，謝賢走到李晴煬身邊，哀傷地說：「幸好有晴煬，不然，我就要獨自一人跟父親聊天了。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxJV25Sulw
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z32WCl5qU
「我以為這是謝賢哥哥的強項。」李晴煬壞笑，「要不我別去賞月了，讓謝賢哥哥跟老爺獨處，增進父子感情？」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9sPjP17PX
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmnhTfk9LT
「不不，就算是我，也無法跟爸相處整個晚上，不要連你都丟下我，嗚嗚……！」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfYtlrJf8E
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJUvR4bzy0
謝賢誇張的反應逗得李晴煬大笑。今年中秋，謝賢弄了艘畫舫，邀請大家邊遊湖邊賞月，但謝照顏叫他縮減規模，只留父子倆和李晴煬三席。問原因，謝照顏說因為張夫人的事，他沒心情玩樂，父子倆和李晴煬聚聚就好，該招待的還是得招待。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEObrWR3zcL
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHy7r1xuq5
謝賢一臉沮喪，「晴煬抱歉，以往中秋賞月都很熱鬧，但今年是多事之秋，沒能好好招待你，我代替父親向您道歉。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQAlLg3LaT
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZeASy8xvt
「沒關係，我是客，一切依你們方便。」李晴煬推著謝賢，「別難過了，你想穿祭月的衣服上船嗎？我是不反對。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXKxTztHJw
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa9fHvgPWe
「才不要，這衣服熱死了。」謝賢拉了拉領口，「麻煩你等我們囉，船上見。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBrdlHWWih
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDE34xlJRe
說完，謝賢便告辭，李晴煬去沉璧湖邊等人。畫舫已經停在岸邊，是艘十六米長的雙層畫舫，船屋內點著燈，燈光凸顯畫舫本身的柚木色光澤，又不會明亮得落於俗氣。許多僕從忙著搬東西上船，謝照顏專用的樂手也入內就位，李晴煬則被帶到畫舫的二層。他一開始覺得畫舫太大，但他忘記──堂堂家主遊船，隨行的僕從一定很多，這樣的大小反而剛好，多一點人也不會尷尬。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sEUPnbslT
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj0thfvdb4
「……。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjtRopPG2l
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDGbJSac1F
只有自己一人，李晴煬呼了口氣，用非常放鬆的姿式躺在椅背。中秋的滿月很美，他望著天空，漂亮的雙眼若有所思，手不自覺摸上胸前的黑豹項鍊。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPBiqDp6B0
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdgp7HC1o6
他在想人。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrkfXcNtUL
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYdPdNlBhD
想高宇維，想李央，還是想神與畜的大家，沒有人知道。他聽說中秋是團圓的節日，但李晴煬，他沒有團圓的對象，因為高宇維教他的忠心，是一份孤獨的忠心。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxFYDeW98z
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A0q48cVdr
那天，謝綠問他：如果高宇維做錯了，也要一起犯錯嗎？639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToi5UzW70A
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrys7D1IHN
他的答案是YES。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8Z4yKLKJV
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPDOVV5Pc9
除了YES，還能回答什麼？639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3xWC351ec
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSeUe9S92r
這樣的忠心讓他滿足。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LIdW9aPB6
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiZFOJMmI3
這樣的滿足也讓他孤獨。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5ONiI8gDb
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQSgowetz6
高宇維正在超越李晴煬自身，未來，他會栽入無法回頭的懸崖，自我也會死在那個懸崖，所以，李晴煬才摸著項鍊，想著李央。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR78muEbWcV
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrEyQG8MeJ
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMqf8zOA9i
──那是他的自我。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZPJQkwv0E
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf0Edvar1B
他不會忘記李央怎麼愛他。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVYSDBS7Ui
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXpmdFGNR8
也不會忘記自己對李央的愛。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34GA9paabS
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iyGYcFi02
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkeB2vJYrx
「……。」639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABJO0yFCoI
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTc2xT81sY
就在這時，謝賢來了，謝照顏也在幾分鐘後抵達。李晴煬坐直身子，放開項鍊，重拾他的招牌微笑。639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dpcj5k8uL
639Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjSEalYl4i
無論中秋象徵什麼，無論高宇維的忠心要把他帶去哪，李晴煬保證，他走過的地方沒有團圓，沒有佳節，只有腥風與血雨。
