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。」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq0eD0jUwJ
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltJZRCpBmt
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV2lN5aeow
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFZi3jp8n0
「慢著！」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSO7yMKfvQ
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5QlDpQq0U
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBeGGcnGRO
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzjiRebCHq
「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。」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuNptxT00A
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS17BxJLJj2
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。」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNd14JtLE0
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex22UwpbZV
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yNJiaqJaT
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0dxLaPtuU
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVyVaBKbmo
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHuL260M9y
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDZUEiKJmv
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrp1ry2gnq
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIe4ZC5eVI
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQNz7unXi2
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BHAvfg3oq
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjA6eMnPA7
「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――」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnvskth1cI
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkfSf31WYI
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bnuipHP1v
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsUrbvEeN8
「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。」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEkMiID2Gu
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8DTlzTjm0
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。」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5QAvl0vhM
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0d5iabYcv
「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。」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6bNY7fu3y
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ORZK1Kbpu
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxMhLQHUie
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQD2UWSolum
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGA9nNnhLb
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0xyiObuQn
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtuVF4f3PT
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR9ntYhOYe
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9ROLsDCTX
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdpdUNmhQZ
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooqYEm1ASh
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AdBiyaKTp
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。」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfgKCVmYcg
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcee0dQsDL
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3XryKsEg5
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1CrZkVFcm
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOnqTrTqA1
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14wJRzqnkc
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hLxCDd8cx
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh6Lj2loNJ
「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。」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1pQbk9azq
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3hJZBoL9h
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ886nakpHTi
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoEmr4nr7z
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGzXTTyLhR
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL37AOe2x2V
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3E3VYFQAY
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGwYxejTDz
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。」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUntDQJLzH
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2DRMjnOjr
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRtYWayWZg
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfWI2JiJdy
毒蛇。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxMpjrHF1Y
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlX825Z6dH
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM05K4INxO
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs6AxIZROp
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjmPWoFW3b
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16eyQpEeZc
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF6NPZsZri
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisIs2sc0xc
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt9XhJ3UDK
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeAbJ1TINB
「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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYgpBlm01o
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f4s6otSa1
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylMxTDD8la
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtx32BUYGc
「好！」砲手高舉右手。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bXnt6nfxU
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qHULAspsu
「放！」朱玹咆哮。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtr8l320yg
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5kv8giiQs
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6QnHJ7wiZ
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZsaEtIIyC
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhdlvzoPIT
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE9AfBnNy6
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwipeIc998
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BKuyGkJls
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUS5Sdt4f6
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA2TvRqodP
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkpgUSYeTL
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqRAX6tcVV
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr35Kbaiug6
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJEoOqx1xR
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq096kCgLEF
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNXQie8tpl
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3hK7KEl44
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLsEKxXSIP
「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。」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B0RtEupGg
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ER3jFG0OK
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnhFWp6FpO
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFgrHpcxsX
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLIxZ8z85Z
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3hSj4rvvp
「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。」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcBaQZ48Db
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8N2CuI42w
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaZM8NuBUx
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnXAvKD4Qs
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFUq98ismy
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFNDNFd2qX
「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。」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD7zGnyg13
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwumU72zmP
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkaL8jeQBG
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvIotyH9gG
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwm5tpK45V
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXBQJ5TIPX
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnGjHOsYFc
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1DopSv8uR
一切都像是靜止了。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V8yAOoNlp
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfaxU865P3
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulwxdWz9X3
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8D6tlEPKA
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmwpKz4fK5
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuakBJ1pJu
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0457jTgOJi
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFGmxaEiC5
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXgIkE4bHp
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggq4KbH4UZ
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。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF2ZPlm6to
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyDZ53gRjj
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDPJAxRvu2
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjPyd7v5qO
「放！」朱玹號令。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRSjvkAhyr
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcolMM4hVx8
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbootNw6X1u
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36afOnnZpV
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W8JNGmmMU
263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdbSITpTLa
咸若宮轟然倒塌。263Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOz3I4VSMJ
