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。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYKP2Nw1jy
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv5HkIIc6m
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsosPDMl7n
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTnEGVyyoc
「慢著！」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbjERAPUE7
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSyRUXGlCJ
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAR5Ht7HGZ
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPfVtnHY7c
「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。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp85HHXXijo
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhBwLevA9P
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。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9bGJS3YvN
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gssvdyqLL
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eJXjYJ8Pn
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKokuwm9XdT
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwj0iRjNOG
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxEgerPWEU
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGQjGOvIA2
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sxuIRMa67
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GfyjDAfOP
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYuxOYWPuz
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOSSpwvcR5
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1i5w2otcj
「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――」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXOnulfJw1
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaKkcSSUgn
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAqQ3U3myO
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDkjz9J6Mu
「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。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7rHdmZDaT
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkvwSXGd3Z
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。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEUAjxbL16
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2EtIPYJEZ
「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。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL6auBaB1C
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAphq0EUkx
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhGmdTBnXb
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk841kElXze
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYtVPkA5N5
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv2UFSQuzH
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6fLBs9wsx
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGeCE3wZtq
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ013ENKHWTz
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrYGtsC8rs
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCDdW5W5Ax
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmE9vSwokj
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。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL5ObK58Zi
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARWkcmGiiz
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhqZ5cIhnf
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ9ZO5kSsb
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE84Df68iG7
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB78zMZAwA2
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iJwuL7Iwd
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgptOGlOyvz
「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。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6Co0tiJ3n
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIdIkVv0H3
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcXrmgwJQp
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVdKLGEXCj
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdCeJZTfdv
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Soifxu2zF
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XONK3YU0q
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GUWUTthfY
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。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkgRqw7IGL
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjX20TC32i
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCXoYn7DPL
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoRlNRQj7f
毒蛇。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFf74QPw9I
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jhp2tttAv
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipNVSmX5Dg
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn6kxrWgGs
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7vMFtTHqa
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6veA4KmDds
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRm9mO39ou
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh0iIsRYkF
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vbFT76puX
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOCyVju8Nr
「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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveOqeNysti
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw93m3LR4D
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmNo8me8ow
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprtyaLOlXp
「好！」砲手高舉右手。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wA74Z3Aa0
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXCaOm46VP
「放！」朱玹咆哮。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5UxCG0f8p
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkCXkkpxmW
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm936Eywjr
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3wHVQ2yH1
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKSxvz2B1T
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPk4fvZaUl
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXVkf48K0X
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL1BP0aEKn
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhfoB8XP1Z
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDyjVaIlhx
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWoULsWtmC
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JR1fPAliw
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKOke8i8vz
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6z8JPMzEG
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvK6CmWS6U
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjIMJmGjcn
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfuxDpcbpR
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctydisrJ1F
「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。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWso7GeGKtU
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuvSGuY5HH
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3vCS8rTzE
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOqz6NSVVu
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokvvBbBsQo
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOCGMmKaAM
「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。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sU50OPEu4
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArSnc4IvVJ
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1MzvVqgG6
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp578R8VP7
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM1IRPnVtc
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlqD12A6MC
「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。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsFf6Kjc3b
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zlTi081OV
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIxD2bGjDN
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiUtrtVfRm
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEEa5Ga22S
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiXjWJThOX
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLPlP4iXyI
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qJnCMgAsk
一切都像是靜止了。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG3VIpKxfn
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtEQIJms4W
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwChdUmRDO
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaKVFDGn49
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGYdujiPJN
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC08WzHyVE8
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hr5cvdUUR
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TU7JREL1E
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz3s8L5eed
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4IYR3oCxA
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。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzbQL1Xc9R
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDfPQkoC3y
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6XZbEwUkB
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPjnv2VBvy
「放！」朱玹號令。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs295mpa5Fa
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx284wn6lS
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXSL5MHqpt
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYXQjfgHEj
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSvIrIgr9d
242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv3KJ1v9gM
咸若宮轟然倒塌。242Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXriCXh86b
