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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpARlWysc8i
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpF0ETmUX5
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzbE3s65lm
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMG6cF9HAu
「慢著！」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVS1xSdmT1
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOifv1DIGwL
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk1O6L804L
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk5UfMFR66
「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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8GdEvpXWr
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygvW1YfyAC
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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2JHes7zqT
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimIc06yvM6
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ96w1PpjVL
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUN1E9GVEw
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYTmB7blHk
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PgHuzVfOw
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNLCLMePb0
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmNgcFfiHg
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCBlpKo2nH
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLjmUl61e0
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUCKJRvndZ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxPtnw2kGY
「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――」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gfe0ITNYz
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkDteztPkU
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqrCNX15nC
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKLMynsTgq
「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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR018MPOYL
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR55Vb6xsLC
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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFmuY3Rj8C
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3LWnKOKYR
「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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCkEa8ozNx
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtKVSfL0Zl
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK15biVNSGe
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY0DQ7xinb
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiBaOzgYOz
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrQ9f337l6
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuend3bsOf
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGdte8N8yw
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdu6KBTTh2
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuYVxgKRa5
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhWGgzjZJQ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA77yo3W5Z
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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTrHtdXxNw
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dDkfCdhQd
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTySwjDFiZ9
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh80DwsFSM7
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoXdkgZj9O
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0bbTMuCHu
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCdkLAPaak
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCKC7nFvmf
「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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLHS501l3R
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMpEIoH9eq
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYII1wPVrQ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU6rwyMX7i
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MLtTYNOYb
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAdoBbhLNk
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcy7kwEwtK
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFgSGkMX06
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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmPbq7ziIy
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48MZYWs7gz
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHMFyrnnSw
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCsFzdCPhO
毒蛇。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlTK83gRWu
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisaKgZXmfR
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf23AKAYr9V
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL70EJ3nI3n
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGa126RCkS
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52nxmfPLI1
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t2CgDct1O
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ206XzVmd9t
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VmzMa2nd6
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDQ9UDCVpZ
「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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iQQr44sam
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JhvJ6BWZ4
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuURjF6wTwq
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsluJoPiXOG
「好！」砲手高舉右手。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB8txawJp0
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0SLyZN0zC
「放！」朱玹咆哮。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XGEapMbvr
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJBiUIuyiN
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvVw1PQBSv
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7MIvJqL2L
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS7TkwminJ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsCgXP5vMf
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs8z91amAj
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRupBEdcfZ
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkTol4OgIi
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4emxx4D7mt
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzB1PEuFfy
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWysH4jQ9As
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5jofba75g
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37BE2EpjQH
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxUgqPRz1m
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1s2VbGtlx
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztN1BVeSxe
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3Rz9xdB4K
「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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXptmEHGhfK
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVCH5kk7Yl
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd98Zn9aPz
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkFz3wb4lc
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F5DwjGA1q
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWShhxcfLEp
「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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQRylFyO8D
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCEM5tYlf2
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfuDvsCgI9
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRNA0yQlwa
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JkKUkUTDO
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a3Lzo0fx4
「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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDjfi9Jts5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFyzja6IM1
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnJdduLkjV
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU1r8nvxGk
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvknqNWLBQ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEz7Mr179v
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNbb8P5Mur
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZSdV9xQ6A
一切都像是靜止了。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGGeUfZrlc
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSbeIplL2Z
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX6IFySGqI
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJRDgyVuE7
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n0gyg7XuY
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL9PIJLk4O
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQrjVOF8dr
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95GFzv08m0
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUWxgOHPeE
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuhfExPCO4
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe89va2ahMo
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Z0ZvB5TH
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUohBv8sJI
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0PFSTMsg9
「放！」朱玹號令。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvLU4oqgxW
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaPgrOcAY6
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHLgDu8Xt6
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGEWWgdFip
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0eHjJYDZW
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHH5IZuhrc
咸若宮轟然倒塌。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCyUUiNTog
