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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUmPfJZjkb
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLB0e8IlN7
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuhLnWpGsu
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHQlYCyDkj
「慢著！」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNig4G1XHoF
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuRs4cz28X
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYl5mRLsZb
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf06KpVpWU
「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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY6KbmzS9l
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5CVWO6Cbo
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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcnlVVfK5k
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs81tPLSpr
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGJ0AjuJGA
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7odRxerNf
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mTUePDpq3
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWbQB5oJX9
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbycmDmrHF
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHobkreB9ah
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB6LFB3L9T
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE3zhaENXr
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOAF7jslVk
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC44ypeJdtj
「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――」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidLvlVQejw
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVXsl49RF9
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WPkz6awii
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlPoMJgyEh
「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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYjbVi3Cmx
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Flt1LHVsO
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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1HgnwOIYD
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsvHlCwta4
「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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1r9ALvNoC
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP46u9MkZT
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLFidXeYmq
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnXvxDDNwZ
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g9hQHglYM
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ3J4dSDdF
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneLos6gGrd
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8JmN63EcV
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDz1FmAkRQ
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU069jibAPv
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHUqWo16Q6
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewFIE4XW75
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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTPIE4sygo
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQwPKza4ql
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWyASwjvYE
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURyALc6Par
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rjywdlUuo
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nhcvuEgp3
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YGiYFMAJg
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlwIbBNtpf
「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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEI5PNDZWY
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe24MZWUrRU
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t3UDTXsd5
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgjBKmP4je
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeBhmqZbXb
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSGetiGZE7
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzounODxRUA
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY00ZiLaVVq
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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv573GBalfp
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61bNrs7v0n
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DlyG9kvPB
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2w2vUhg41
毒蛇。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuMLfrxcGv
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGDvJKc3WU
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2LHlTk2LY
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LHuAOVDNs
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2pwEZj65r
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbfhS05I0E
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWXDEQELpo
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96PqNnysDe
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6O6M6O40X
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YsQo8U8Kc
「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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsZQTMNQmK
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZYJNIVFik
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r3cCgrbd4
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1luQS7ckt
「好！」砲手高舉右手。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbkLjoQqag
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4RdKQ825k
「放！」朱玹咆哮。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b1mwfDjP6
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf0ObuEX2t
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUY4rhqW41
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujvdpHBeEc
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2XasAhxdK
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBpZZVUq4p
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DREZsugUG
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSHeyRsbnS
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqeE20SBLQ
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt4RYwR9g0
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQrALSu3vZ
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd5ULmP7gY
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWyhhEyxjX
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0eJJ47qcH
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCLH6JcbtD
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf8ko2oKpS
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmadJxSjCI
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjzsq6CbL4
「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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJDz3J7H7v
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza7679Wh5E
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSA6OyCkQp
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5NnfeweXy
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbic8Je9S1
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxNeqrwORf
「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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMD9EIJFsg
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCEGpuLjsI
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIuC4ncYgU
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbzHXrk4Jp
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKR1cWojKG
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqwh9HN2yU
「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。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSFPbsgJgl
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFCX7CqD5s
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cik8xcTmF
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoNL1AwxhE
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaq43j2REM
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nfjFn55hX
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWgTqVz1Ox
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj4m1zdCfb
一切都像是靜止了。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxpsI2byiH
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn0ES1Pp1i
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FQuwSmUce
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKxzN5vix5
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoi6uBYWPf
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pwPcuwOUR
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi21nWsq8p
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLToHdi263
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO3VBMqRhN
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKjmb1g77Y
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。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1MHDBqxjb
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqncoOVAWzc
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqLF13xmRk
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mLZpMNEdf
「放！」朱玹號令。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaFbUbJ8cZ
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiipNzwIQv
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDH9sHoEb5
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1HAGD4x8G
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD48g3jB8xK
253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G34BmcPBn
咸若宮轟然倒塌。253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil99j5TwuW
