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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoicUzn5jG
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd781noO07U
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN8yair1SL
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIGcVK0Blk
「慢著！」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp3oKc8FyZ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI9dpybZhp
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU3D0QYXR2
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb43BeRjgLi
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs69K41v7m
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1OqD1i8hL
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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgiQFRo8vx
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oThq7ohxr
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYzdJDNSIX
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5vdoTu93N
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzYvdtXSlj
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJDTQdXdVD
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA6y6h7Scr
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPaUKCM3Yt
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGrxeAE1yV
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ8DasxaRT
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8nyz4931z
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetZD8nM8oO
「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――」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6hzQHupW2
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DsPINvpbC
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNOhPcBTHa
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3QqXYzz3b
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXN4oDxXf0
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSht6oiWpT0
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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5EhoCxWCU
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdZ8OUHDVX
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTIRyBsjgv
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUDlHr7K2E
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctFreknW0b
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w1vmezGvb
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw6yYiB3B3
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87JCpJbK1N
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikkfXisZOp
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufyegtSu09
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF1SUzKxYN
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyloYqE12v
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEyVp4cTE6
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy1snzt6VL
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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uKwCXYbuB
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCzHkYnhfK
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90KYPvRvVq
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwvBC8oFwC
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnUGrAXPYn
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOQrtKDObf
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfOFD2NT5f
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaIRnHTLUm
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv9d4OBXBH
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8bZ5WEhMr
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFQDvNjJA0
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vLUhrb9HA
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B6dv2isna
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeOP3JHdGA
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMAvFwhGKH
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3nvEnxsQv
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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsSYuI1hTf
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFz1CY7vp0
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnO5xL1ufn
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw0kS7DgqQ
毒蛇。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78U1jxoNmn
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKwalqnsu4
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc7adNmHw1
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5FZtHEv1a
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9UnCmxK9q
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkid5hoEOPG
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYqptDkDEg
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxtZqE66WF
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOgLLgfwNj
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67pctW8cKj
「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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkueAOqSaT
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq5j6ZKjgI
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWNunCwALD
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjjLGn3nZp
「好！」砲手高舉右手。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e8Rhne7sX
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF24d0meYf
「放！」朱玹咆哮。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgWOKzcj1D
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDRArtOand
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJcSH7QuUI
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZJugPj4ER
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76GWagASt7
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkaK2r5SOc
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzECXHsNO6
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAcg4cIdiZ
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCvTCrYIaB
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduNrh5Nn4q
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTa1iQClpB
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwZ92wKRjU
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyulBPhzb0f
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8atntkR7J
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafda1wSuO9
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9IbHATzeh
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFEMdyKL81
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPiwDIlEE1
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXkH7NYMgS
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs3sN4OdIK
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwOYPZf2kZ
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ybj2bXcEf
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza69Ubc2fz
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91kma2sTpi
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnXoQfL6HU
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOowrTgbD1
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac9yP4in4k
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL3NTmeszS
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf41DBbeGp
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JftXmZmxs
「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。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEakRiZ86u
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8IlxZABOH
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzatO9PvA1
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kQaQlJvNC
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tf80wa73U
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkJpSSlvR4
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgwk3spcLd
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC4SCLIOQY
一切都像是靜止了。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6IMQfyHNe
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hv6eiY1hS
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNahYVif0De
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH59048IP8
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllJH10FZQc
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCKBTFezvy
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdHt311eJD
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeLn1H0DH0
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5xkYiQOOX
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EDSPR1XKq
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。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizyL2hEsBN
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6ISPCvePt
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO28a2Buqa
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJfyyy70pH
「放！」朱玹號令。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpYuQhgHGG
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6FpHhF43d
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RESrqLBlS
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHk3PUhVwZ
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmDE8SpuVp
240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZU0dxveu5
咸若宮轟然倒塌。240Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSAZzXjp4b
