宮殿大火熄滅。238Please respect copyright.PENANAHM9V6q0eWT

精巧的宮殿化作一片焦黑廢墟,殘破的梁柱和屋瓦,微微星火在餘燼中閃爍。238Please respect copyright.PENANA4cRiqWj43y

一道旋風把煙塵捲進空中,半邊天染成了灰黑色。238Please respect copyright.PENANAoe0cGDjTsf

此刻朱玹終於知曉為何父王陣亡於土木堡後不出百日,他的母妃也隨之溘然長逝。238Please respect copyright.PENANAHTN1VEw6Vt

母妃死於心碎。238Please respect copyright.PENANAwLaRByCG7F

他的父王深愛著妻子。238Please respect copyright.PENANAhBgqJvRRt2
238Please respect copyright.PENANAvUM5rVt4Y3
起初母妃自蒙古草原來到京城,不耐京城的擁擠喧囂,總為思鄉而憂愁。父王毅然搬離京城,在鄰近三河縣一處前枕青山、腹地開闊的地點建造別院。新府落成,王府上下遷居,母妃依舊難以展顏,因為不喜冰冷的寢殿,父王二話不說,著人拆除配殿,改搭蒙古包,夜夜在蒙古包裡陪著母妃觀看星月,最後她終為他的深情感動,淡了思鄉之苦。238Please respect copyright.PENANAoJT1lu5kND
238Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9R0XsjJnz
母妃曾對他說:「總有一天,你也會遇到一個像草原月光的女子,她會讓你心心念念,不管走到那裡,看到的都是她,想的也還是她。」
多年後,他果然遇見了令他心心念念的女子。
母妃預見了開始,卻未曾預測結局。238Please respect copyright.PENANAZlrJyhLxB0

未來如何,他猜不著,唯有護她這一段。238Please respect copyright.PENANAtsdNh3CRda

朱玹喚來副統領劉熙,交辦幾項要務之後,帶上幾名親衛前往齋宮。238Please respect copyright.PENANAnzhcT2sYlo
238Please respect copyright.PENANAP1HodB2i5g
出了清寧宮院,日出前的天色晦暗如許,地磚映出冰面似的光影。重重疊疊的紫禁城,僅有齋宮還亮著,燈火漂浮在潮濕的曙色裡,一如朦朧迷離的橘月。238Please respect copyright.PENANAhjo2GJe9Gc
238Please respect copyright.PENANA1cykmoNWbJ
殿脊上,幾隻大烏鴉粗嘎鳴泣。238Please respect copyright.PENANAp07vSl6Zv7

漫天亂紛紛的夜霧,淒淒切切、纏纏綿綿,似乎還在訴著什麼、織著什麼、還是想留住什麼……238Please respect copyright.PENANA2s3VVWOK6c

不知不覺,齋宮已矗立眼前。238Please respect copyright.PENANAXFXAHGIohA

紫禁城中,凡廟社、郊祀、壇場、宮殿、門闕、玉宇璇階,無一不是壯麗恢弘,金碧輝煌,唯獨祭祀的齋宮,為一樸實無華的木造建築,基高三尺,木牆下不接地,狹小陰暗,狀似囚籠。齋戒時期,皇帝白天在齋宮的東室齋居,西壁上寫有「正心誠意」,門楣上則寫著「敬一」,夜晚則在西室齋宿。238Please respect copyright.PENANA4wsuejTm84
238Please respect copyright.PENANAcbC69A7AAR
宮門前,幾名身著大紅飛魚服,腰配繡春刀的錦衣衛千戶,提著燈籠在周圍巡察。238Please respect copyright.PENANAcQj5fU0mJc
238Please respect copyright.PENANAOuje9c0K8G
「為何是錦衣衛戍守齋宮,禁軍侍衛何在?」朱玹低聲問身後的親衛。238Please respect copyright.PENANAViMfg2cKCJ
238Please respect copyright.PENANAvwFLN0wj3E
掌管隨駕護衛的武驤右衛答道:「回統領,昨晚陛下命令所有禁軍侍衛退至奉天門,只留錦衣衛值夜。」238Please respect copyright.PENANARk9Z1YPrWG
238Please respect copyright.PENANAOllqW4lj2Z
朱玹暗忖:過去皇帝從不曾更換御前侍衛,莫非早已預知宮中有變?238Please respect copyright.PENANA1chkQnCn1I

晨光熹微,齋宮陰鬱如囚籠,窗櫺間透出幢幢鬼影。238Please respect copyright.PENANAtq7JFa69JB

朱玹步向齋宮,錦衣衛指揮使突然閃身出現,將他截阻在宮門外。238Please respect copyright.PENANA122KheaalS
238Please respect copyright.PENANAOnh1oGV09v
「天尚未明,睿靖王此時見駕,恐驚擾聖上齋戒。」指揮使道。238Please respect copyright.PENANAeiMNqJZjCL
238Please respect copyright.PENANAn08KETKVZE
「太后宮院驟生變故,本王需即刻面呈皇上。」朱玹神色凝重地說。238Please respect copyright.PENANA3LU2HpsjPu

「容下官稟明聖上,還請王爺在此靜候。」238Please respect copyright.PENANAqdkONfPCv8

指揮使喚來三名錦衣衛百戶,低聲耳語數句,三人即立於門前,手按刀柄。238Please respect copyright.PENANAl4rz7AcehH
238Please respect copyright.PENANAyie2ANGy0r
朱玹尋思。238Please respect copyright.PENANA8OUNF8vcUL
238Please respect copyright.PENANAvm50dScw7a
早在火勢撲滅以前,他就已派人前來齋宮通報皇帝,為何錦衣衛又要搬演這麼一齣戲? 238Please respect copyright.PENANA5B0i5riBUi

宮中多少見不得光的陰謀算計,無止盡的計中計,他無可避免的成為其中的一分子,而今他身陷一場賭局,賭注是自己的身家性命。238Please respect copyright.PENANAZrZiwqDN5T
238Please respect copyright.PENANANuxJbc3d2H
朱玹可想見會受到多少非議,但他想逝去的父母必能諒解,他們都是至情至性之人,換作他人――即使是少時和他並肩成長,一同嬉遊的雍靖王,若聽見他的妄行,也不免罵他一句:反了,你!238Please respect copyright.PENANApXaSowDzJw
238Please respect copyright.PENANASfmrDNJwSk
一名錦衣衛千戶跨步而來。238Please respect copyright.PENANA5MOOH1RgVV
238Please respect copyright.PENANAd8XPgcnu5m
「聖上宣召王爺入殿。」千戶先對朱玹行禮,再向朱玹的親衛發令,「其餘人等退至奉天門外等候。」238Please respect copyright.PENANAesq07Zg4d7

太監領路在前,穿過狹窄而陰暗的走道,齋宮內昏暗無窗,四面都是陰冷的木牆,一道柱廊連通祠堂,堂中供奉著大明歷朝皇帝的御容,由右至左依次是:太祖、成祖、仁宗、宣宗、英宗,靖難後不知所蹤的建文帝和先帝復辟後暴卒的景帝則未在此列。238Please respect copyright.PENANAf1vN9CYTlS
238Please respect copyright.PENANA1YABltA3Lx
朱見深背對朱玹,佇立太祖御容前,從背後看不出他此刻神情。238Please respect copyright.PENANATMO2ej2RQu
238Please respect copyright.PENANAVVQnTquZ9Q
「陛下。」朱玹單膝跪地行禮。238Please respect copyright.PENANAz6Tc9uHNY2
238Please respect copyright.PENANAWeSTz2wDHc
「這裡是齋宮,無須大禮,宮中出了何事?」朱見深淡然問道。238Please respect copyright.PENANADNd5m09JvR
238Please respect copyright.PENANA4YM5VgeKLM
朱玹立起身來,「今夜子時,咸若宮院起火,大火迅速延燒,宮殿焚毀,太后則避往別宮,起火緣由乃是長安宮貴妃及御馬監太監汪直以黑火藥引火……」238Please respect copyright.PENANA5TNi6BDSwg
238Please respect copyright.PENANAHROmm9HNC6
「等等,」朱見深打岔,「都查清楚了,確是萬貴妃所為?」238Please respect copyright.PENANAB6L9R0godR
238Please respect copyright.PENANA9rdHpNLWtN
「是,陛下,」朱玹正色說道:「黑火藥確是汪直所有,貴妃授意汪直縱火,也是臣親眼所見。」238Please respect copyright.PENANAqt0Q7AIeey
238Please respect copyright.PENANApTnTAdXe1F
朱見深在神案上重重捶了一拳,桌案為之震顫,搖曳火光照映先皇清俊的容顏。238Please respect copyright.PENANAm0faQtza3u
238Please respect copyright.PENANA4KCumEealN
朱玹心下明白,朱見深不願處置萬貴妃,但在皇宮縱火是死罪,火勢還險些殃及太后宮殿,無論用什麼理由貴妃都難以脫罪。238Please respect copyright.PENANARSiWs2ImtJ
238Please respect copyright.PENANAgTE2Pf8DiK
「那麼,」一陣令人窒悶的沉默後,朱見深穩住了心緒,「咸若宮如何?」238Please respect copyright.PENANASDytRqXbyh
238Please respect copyright.PENANAmR5uYe5izI
「咸若宮殿付之一炬,宮人先遭綑縛,無法逃生,盡數死於火場……」238Please respect copyright.PENANAd9jqteI6gx
238Please respect copyright.PENANAUkZutDHgSm
「咸若宮主位呢?」朱見深再度打岔。238Please respect copyright.PENANABc4u7lrQCh
238Please respect copyright.PENANAMQPuqAFFqQ
「今日,萬貴妃數度謀害咸若宮皇妃,」朱玹斟酌用詞後,才謹慎回答,「傍晚時分,皇妃先是遭到脅持,囚禁於西緝事司,所幸她自行掙脫。」238Please respect copyright.PENANAOVoQboZts0
238Please respect copyright.PENANAbwwbddUEFB
朱見深頹然靜默,各種不同情緒在他的面上交錯,有焦急、痛心、也有悔恨。238Please respect copyright.PENANAKbiS9i31Nc
238Please respect copyright.PENANAttjawbigvI
「皇妃自西緝事司脫逃後,一路奔逃至保泰門,才遇上巡邏侍衛。」朱玹續道。238Please respect copyright.PENANAl9iBineGRk
238Please respect copyright.PENANA8GnxklFVwj
「越過了大半個寧壽宮區,跑得可真遠,就和四個月前一樣。看來,她還真是厭惡朕和這座皇宮啊!」朱見深低頭苦笑,他必然是想起初見湖衣當晚,從那時起,他們三人命運都偏離了既定的道路,走向未知。238Please respect copyright.PENANAPsiFyWNgWc
238Please respect copyright.PENANAMef4kNpRNT
「陛下,」朱玹抬起頭,上前一步,「皇妃逃離後,萬貴妃以咸若宮眾人性命為要脅,縱火逼迫皇妃回宮,而後更下令宮監處死皇妃。」238Please respect copyright.PENANAm0SSDkBQ41
238Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ09txI45g
朱見深聽得眉頭深鎖,低垂目光,最後幽幽而嘆,「皇叔是指責朕無能,連內宮都無法自主?」238Please respect copyright.PENANAspKNtZnQqI
238Please respect copyright.PENANAwkN733TGta
「不,此非臣本意,後宮屢傳嬪妃暴卒,有傷天和,更違背陛下仁德之心。」238Please respect copyright.PENANA87xwrGYn1L
238Please respect copyright.PENANAy7WA8ez68L
朱見深閉上雙眼,以嘶啞的聲音自問,「仁德之心啊……」238Please respect copyright.PENANAXf6YEC3upS
238Please respect copyright.PENANA25omwghanx
朱玹心知朱見深天性寬厚,即使臣下犯過,也不願輕易處決。每有後宮嬪妃遇害,朱見深都會將自己禁閉在宗祠中痛哭數日,他是個心慈之人,只是錯生於帝王之家。238Please respect copyright.PENANA61CBSkU2VQ
238Please respect copyright.PENANAN8X5TqOTMc
「皇妃現在何處?」朱見深問。238Please respect copyright.PENANAeuAo0dXZ6P
238Please respect copyright.PENANAkAu4QjAhoS
「此刻想必已經出城。」朱玹不疾不緩地回道。238Please respect copyright.PENANADeu5o8MwSI
238Please respect copyright.PENANAneSSexO0zI
一抹寒霜瞬間掠過朱見深雙眼,隨即消失。238Please respect copyright.PENANABGyb9G8fwN
238Please respect copyright.PENANA4iY088VQRn
「恕臣逾越,為顧全皇妃性命,臣已派親兵護送皇妃離宮,」朱玹頓了半晌,才又續道:「皇妃尚未正式冊封,目前身分僅是一名女史,不如以宮女屆齡的名義將她放還,以杜絕貴妃加害之念。」238Please respect copyright.PENANAwYDNsqAUuE
238Please respect copyright.PENANAMaZF1jQOjp
嬪妃擅自離宮是死罪,朱玹擅自放人也是重罪。朱玹說得淡然,因他相信以朱見深的仁善,斷不會追究湖衣之罪。238Please respect copyright.PENANAtTJvkIpd6B
238Please respect copyright.PENANAswTc705gFL
「放還也未嘗不可,只是……」朱見深語氣一轉,臉上突然浮現令人猜不透的神情,「如此一來,不就正好成全了你們嗎?」238Please respect copyright.PENANAKy8LRaYIaT
238Please respect copyright.PENANAaEXTdPaKSj
朱玹愕然,一時沒能會意。238Please respect copyright.PENANAOfGjoJzgt0
238Please respect copyright.PENANAAxh6WC8jzJ
朱見深變臉怒道:「當日湖衣從樹林走回行宮,身上裹著你的紫貂裘,那是先皇御賜之物,世上僅此一件。你們二人在南苑幹下什麼苟且之事,你心知肚明!」238Please respect copyright.PENANAGKDc952fj7
238Please respect copyright.PENANA02Gu9AAgS7
朱玹心中一凜,原來早就有人在暗地窺視他們。238Please respect copyright.PENANAP9qhJnrTKa
238Please respect copyright.PENANApYd4hED2T1
「你和大臣如此厭惡汪直,不正是因為他將你們背地裡幹下的醜事,全給攤在了桌面上,啊?皇叔!」238Please respect copyright.PENANANyftEAgrEz
238Please respect copyright.PENANABFxfLcOvNG
朱見深憤火難消,盛怒之下,一伸手掀翻了神案,香燭供品狼藉一地。238Please respect copyright.PENANAUgaKzTnXIh
238Please respect copyright.PENANAmfllwbJVdW
「臣有罪。」朱玹垂目下拜。238Please respect copyright.PENANAzCJMFkRz9G
238Please respect copyright.PENANAGIJqQSwWgq
「你們兩人,一個是朕的皇叔,一個是朕的皇妃,竟然聯合起來欺瞞于朕。」朱見深瘖啞著,是冷澈心肺的絕望。238Please respect copyright.PENANAPIuSMfu8bs
238Please respect copyright.PENANARve0Qd0lI4
「一切罪行,皆臣所為,與皇妃無涉。」朱玹答道。238Please respect copyright.PENANArt1L1r6CcV
238Please respect copyright.PENANAC7UT6U2WT8
朱見深抬起頭,緩步到先皇御容前,畫中的英宗皇帝正當少年,神采俊逸,五官清秀,與朱見深十分相似。據傳當年英宗被俘之時,連敵營眾人都為他雍容的氣度心折,而不願折辱於他。238Please respect copyright.PENANApu79ppTgwT
238Please respect copyright.PENANAYuC1fiWJlm
朱見深凝視先皇,口中喃喃唸道:「父皇,兒臣該如何是好,是要滅了他們,還是成全他們?」238Please respect copyright.PENANAAhwCYlgqaH
238Please respect copyright.PENANA1N2ss8Buf7
「所有罪衍,由臣一人承擔,唯望陛下恩赦皇妃。」朱玹低首。238Please respect copyright.PENANAQaFslUpG3i
238Please respect copyright.PENANArO5fK9Yspu
皇帝對他猜忌已久,依今日的陣仗,必然無法全身而退,倘若他扛下所有罪責,或許可以保全湖衣。238Please respect copyright.PENANADaeJP38Hv5
238Please respect copyright.PENANAwOwlQKdySA
朱見深仍兀自凝望著諸聖御容,半晌之後才回過身來。238Please respect copyright.PENANAv0MWecW7Nv
238Please respect copyright.PENANAU95B8ft25I
「你真願意承擔一切罪名?」238Please respect copyright.PENANA3CoP2nBAAP

「是。」朱玹篤定。238Please respect copyright.PENANA2fPC8ZJ0mq
238Please respect copyright.PENANAKyM5PC0SMt
「乃至清寧宮院縱火之責?」朱見深試探。238Please respect copyright.PENANAFtMsAjHTzp
238Please respect copyright.PENANAaCWEIWBxSf
「是。」朱玹昂首回道。238Please respect copyright.PENANA00t4Mla9q7
238Please respect copyright.PENANAWBT2XtaNJS
太后宮院失火,不能輕輕放過,定要有人承擔罪責,皇帝既不願懲處貴妃,罪名只得落到朱玹身上。238Please respect copyright.PENANARR3bT4phiV
238Please respect copyright.PENANAgW0LhmwMTt
「來人!」朱見深喊道。238Please respect copyright.PENANAgTAcluQirF
238Please respect copyright.PENANA5t884GIKyV
一群錦衣衛奔入祠堂,便將朱玹團團圍住。238Please respect copyright.PENANACzLWAuvYu2
238Please respect copyright.PENANAZceW0JDSsg
朱玹冷眼相覷,他沒打算抵抗,放不下的,不過是一個在深夜裡奔跑的背影。238Please respect copyright.PENANACul0AlHz60
238Please respect copyright.PENANA7DLnG2WqFz
「傳朕口喻,睿靖王朱玹身任禁軍統領,未竭力固守宮禁,以致清寧宮遭遇祝融,咸若宮付之一炬,宮役與咸若宮之主――待封貴妃俱……葬身火窟。朱玹不知謹懍,有虧職守,實咎無可辭。惟念誼屬懿親,特予加恩。革去所有軍職,收還兵權……」朱見深換了一口氣,續道:「著即押送大理寺,鞭責一百,禁閉百日思過。」238Please respect copyright.PENANAIozkaagYYA
238Please respect copyright.PENANAbP7m1N3V7C
「陛下聖明。」朱玹下拜。238Please respect copyright.PENANAzyi9AYee82

朱見深走近他,以唯有兩人聽見的聲調低語。238Please respect copyright.PENANAoApF6RaKCa
238Please respect copyright.PENANAUMDQFIDs64
「朕見過她望著你的眼神,深得像是要將你烙進心裡,即使做了朕的妃子,她也從不曾那樣瞧過朕……」朱見深別過頭,「朕知道,有些事強求不來,可就偏生想看看,如果使了足夠勁兒,能不能使磐石動搖……」238Please respect copyright.PENANAflTkKeWMw9
238Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZyoizZf6b
朱玹低頭不語。238Please respect copyright.PENANAptoybmBDeT
238Please respect copyright.PENANA52rRvnsYmd
皇帝顧念血親之情,即使心生怨忿,也只是鞭責和革去軍職而已,終未對他與湖衣痛下殺手。238Please respect copyright.PENANAJQB3umXIpQ
