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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHZqDAL2zh
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkSSoEYyhA
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC7iouAuSK
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0Gynf7V4T
「慢著！」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRVhl8ojO7
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61RuFj26RZ
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu3ZX8aQvs
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobdUNhFGae
「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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeTofc3byl
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniRyf7s22Q
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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e3vdhOwRl
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb1ZUBJbis
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ444J5ptekg
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLwTpct4fe
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxGDL4gfGn
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjokejOdOm4
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvZdpL0JQx
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzZbbhe0Wx
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY8pMGoJpc
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1YwDjBRXY
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzNxUGXLUE
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRdIFvUgwt
「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――」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX8AEdWjPz
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GT0g07Sdu
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo4zKoqzmQ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4kzKsRNFw
「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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiqKVpdovq
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzvOLMKbWE
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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXclPDTDZu
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYl0IwujP7
「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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd0KpvxT8Z
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkxAw6vTBE
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHjTOllKFi
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrjzwCsAWS
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPq2eYfjkf
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP4aHiI2tD
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rfCYtrMwo
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ420ZtdeUTS
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0NFIJBq7u
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU9J5nht4l
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlubP7K7RK
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqn0BDLRqT
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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHoswmthWS
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb1hDD2udt
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14lwHidA6H
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5ZTIGCOkO
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrG7A5jUtU
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLQyBJRCbY
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzFtowrdXq
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnMZ7kwJdF
「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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpmjmNHLj4
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bLZFWAFXI
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TtBr8Ssaj
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt39cBEULv5
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXinFJHw8j7
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOJFMYpJQ1
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgF27ViEIo
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQCikcf1rv
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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue80YYS9AX
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwoSMhZ5Nc
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteR9QorjWH
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS7ZV3dLn4
毒蛇。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddeoJLEvLL
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoIxacpXzS
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeX55iyfCJ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFso0o5UUbV
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF8icMC8cf
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM11syuKjzX
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIvwkocQWz
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cc9Jb93rB
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IdfzbzMBy
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPHJvmRbpN
「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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtKt5McIV2
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJvw5ops0Q
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1qGuDSPz4
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nl3tbslw0
「好！」砲手高舉右手。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8gesCvqO5
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD3y0JQefs
「放！」朱玹咆哮。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIqJVnM84B
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzSgbp8t0y
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA9jE1Blwj
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8YDmn8AxZ
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOCXqnPJrv
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzGBCSvhwJ
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLNt8Tkct7
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzTyMcoxFN
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tNjoJ3TVp
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW1SklNuk0
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFmXuHnXlu
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaub0oDJIsQ
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEOUKkszue
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdRnTPszGj
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq0qYtHK5d
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGSyF8O2Bq
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfyI15ttfe
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFgV5Gli5Z
「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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jwQAVxLZw
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXjqPknSwK
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KA8YYKAGc
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5opzS7kv3j
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUyLfHfgFD
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWX7jGxQjN
「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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyQhhPfEyD
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRgqEVzdj4
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbdsQUq5m7
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kgiMTAC5P
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B9bbDGjd5
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxhoHNdq5C
「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。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvschbcG33
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh5sUKHXvH
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNUakaVdZg
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5q8VebDNh
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROr0CUopfx
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0e7LYYWRN
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmgYY8sULK
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOOP3CfrBA
一切都像是靜止了。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzSH9Zj5Pm
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKznbbwqFC
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKVB3xU5xM
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQExjKJfga
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNuhRRLiK5
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZHMsqsiFm
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevtBrjSvc6
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uusFd3UEQ
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJfO35LCOF
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWfW7mP5y3
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。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguqPAQ2QUi
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShHrPX9tQD
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T74HTxb2U
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmlaQLSnzJ
「放！」朱玹號令。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SBrdDqKLO
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KQIPDqSyb
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6l819sQjf
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fZbNHZyCp
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdGCs8d8zS
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7UkOED6zr
咸若宮轟然倒塌。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApz6PUZcJb
