出乎盛帝意料之外，祭祀當日，數道黑霧分別自皇宮與瘟疫當地沖入天際，聚攏於祭祀之地，並灌入作為主祭的相憐兒的身子裡。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbAlVJXCtw
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJKHQ51pfb
與此同時，光華照滿皇宮，為瘟疫所苦的人們自此日後，竟不藥而癒，十分神奇。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2zhp4Hg7R
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADqKhPV3YJ
因此體弱多病的相憐兒立刻被封號「惠慈」，許秋亦一度問鼎妃位，作法驅瘟的術士也受封為國師。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEaX82YYdq
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqvuIbVjBc
但不久後，許秋因天命福薄，不勝如此大喜，猝死。國師前赴戰場，欲除施降巫蠱部族，卻不幸在施法之時遭巫覡後裔詛咒，因此反噬而亡。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykNGfesHUo

盛帝念其功績浩大，以身殉國，於是資建道術觀，厚葬之，並令全國茹素一月，為國師哀恫。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwfB4xbYOw
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKTaJxLjBv
當時的相憐兒不過五、六歲，盛帝念其年幼，令后宮女子扶養。唯淑妃不計較相憐兒身體孱弱，自願收養相憐兒，待之如親女。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtugvfw1SdO
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgdBRh4R0p
當然，這段故事是為金絡人民所知的「四公主」。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaMxpSmKZT
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhEzNYM8b5
如果沒有什麼內幕，這位「惠慈公主」也不可能在那之後宛如平空消失一般、長居深宮、不再露面，所居之處，還被命為「幽念」。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqdupxZOXy
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD7XC7P9mt
抬頭望像褐色的木匾，瞳微微瞇了眼。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxDHvm0rga
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JedOdzVYH
「幽念居」如此寂寥的名字在飛絮之中顯得格外朦朧疏冷，外人大多不知是什麼來由，就連宮裡知情的都是少數。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOlD6OPM2n
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXL6J23TZ9
瞳因為和盛帝合作的緣故，「有幸」成為知情者其中之一。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY9PZC4NWD
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR41W6FX2oI
原來那場瘟疫的來由就和這居所的命名一樣不單純。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSBcfVvB36
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXztGnO4qQk
瘟在人為，其人卻是平定了瘟疫、受疫民感激的國師大人。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0gZvFx4kR
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryiytv7L7D
許秋死後尚未入殮，有服侍許秋的宮女聲稱發現許秋與國師互通的信件，並上報給帝后。帝后下令徹查，查出國師乃許秋故交。兩人為謀求錢財富貴，暗地串謀，擅下瘟疫，不僅謀害親女與盛帝，更置生靈塗炭於不顧。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5mHJ1ywij
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBhYxcWhlX
帝后震怒。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1aDHqSqYD
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3K9v4db75
褫奪兩人曾於宗祠與國史記載之封號，判以車裂之刑，屍骸置於刑場，冠以「咒殺國師之罪」任民眾鞭笞洩憤十日，並棄於荒野，果野獸之腹。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnln30IhNpe
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxOTmgIylX
至於四公主相憐兒因確為盛帝子嗣，又尚且年幼，對許秋和國師的協議並不知情，在此案中屬被害者，因此對四公主不做罪刑處置。另賜居「幽念」休養病體，非經盛帝允許或出嫁之時，不得擅自出宮。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYilwoGMQfW
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjjlru1IXC
「幽念」、「幽念」，幽的是身以外，更禁了這位公主的想念與嚮往。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd2xI2fUHq
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BzkEy2dUV
正因為如此，在那之後，四公主被更了名字，改作「憐兒」。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauQGlpEU1M
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bq7nZHUxD
外界都道，得名如此是因為四公主悲憫受苦百姓，憐愛金絡，願受病咒纏身之故。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFD8LcB0KX
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXY5Efr4rC
只有明白實情的人才懂，這「憐兒」憐的不是世人，而是被其母當成祭品犧牲、註定半生圈禁於深宮的她自己。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYMNveBvGH
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm62krr44Kv
相憐兒的養母淑妃收養她，除了為展現自己的雍容大度以外，最大的緣故可能是受到盛帝的脅迫吧？32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJZKD6aGGf
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk98AJnTCy
被自己的侍女搶走丈夫、妄想以毒害她的丈夫來換取和她一樣高的地位，這已經不單單是「背叛」的範疇了──在這些嬪妃之中，除了皇后以外，最恨許秋的肯定是淑妃了。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYID2zkrFXo
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhkMrjQiXM
在所有人都忌諱著「不忠不義、企圖謀國」等字眼時，和許秋頗有淵源的淑妃定避之唯恐不及。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl0kk0UjoX
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wKu8LGy8v
就算怎麼喜歡「雍容大度」的讚賞，只要淑妃的腦子還算正常、淑妃背後的家族沒有搭錯筋，會接納相憐兒的機率根本是奇談！32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KS2SMLrZU
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gPQhbeKZ0
所以能影響淑妃不顧諸多弊病，收養相憐兒的人只有一個──當朝皇帝盛帝。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE62OHx36k
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpMmGY3rDr
然而，先不論盛帝到底開出了什麼條件，才讓淑妃接受了這個在外名聲極好、后妃間卻聲名狼藉的四公主，光論盛帝的動機，就足夠可疑了。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB98aRF42OS
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMosQkpyO0x
畢竟在這場鬧劇中，備受愚弄的人就是盛帝。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbH0yOKlx1
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdFECN8Y2u
就算念在四公主是自己的女兒、而且和自己一樣都被許秋所害，在這「龍生龍、鳳生鳳、老鼠生的兒子會打洞」類似子必肖父、女必似母的世俗意識下尋常人家都不可能心無芥蒂的接納這個「上樑已歪」的孩子。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pmcjgNJGu
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMEjL9ojA7
更何況「最是無情帝王家」，要讓她相信盛帝真的是出自「憐憫」才讓她養在淑妃手下這種事，除非她腦子沒被門板夾過！32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrM6QZSZ1W
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgbhHDq8An
再者，盛帝會選擇與許秋嫌隙很深的淑妃當作養母人選，這點也非常奇怪──感覺，就像是大費周章地把自己的女兒推入華美的陷阱中。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1Ip0FC8Cz
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlayYfdQm17
為了美名，淑妃不會明目張膽地對相憐兒下毒手，但背地裡呢？32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoQUX4SyMT
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1byayweMeQ
宮裡那種折磨人卻不讓死又看不出來的奸險辦法多了去，而且相憐兒還有的「身體孱弱」的藉口好使。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiMzevxfks
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa175ahCUE
折騰到了半死不活，就說是犯病了，讓買通的御醫開副藥，吊著命，相信誰也看不出來……或是說，誰也不會多管。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN0E6ZFz74
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IQzBboKcM
盛帝那裡大概只會睜隻眼閉隻眼吧？32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw2MESL1fO
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY7ga21HFQ
日理萬機都累得夠嗆了，還有多餘的興致管這種事？反正許秋「謀逆」一事，就夠制肘淑妃的家族了。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglxxgd8sEg
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvIgWmtngD
所以，或許相憐兒是給淑妃的警醒和出氣筒？32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUtzAnWv3s
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOcUybj5UI
如果真是如此，那她、邱家的五千金，被「賞賜」服侍相憐兒的她呢？32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNQDMCLRkk
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRixBsPIMOt
盛帝存的，又是怎樣的心思？32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKLEmNTNCU
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHK3NdVOVZ
給帶路的宮女一些打點的銀錢，進了幽念居。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnGCkwE5Cr
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpODqvfM71
華美的宮室，一塵不染的漆木，卻讓人感到異常冰冷。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW4SQuKHKA
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVkMeZuBXH
除了幽念居外廊上的宮女以外，一路走來，竟連一個人都沒有，更沒聽見宮女宮婢踩著宮步而發出的「咿呀」聲。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuzHSmZuaF
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPWhuknBoz
正如瞳所預想，相憐兒並非表面上那般受寵──但，對比宮廊和宮殿兩處，也顯得太過冷清了。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNcx7uYLIA
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHU87mDq2g
瞳依循禮儀，自外堂，進了內室，喊了聲到，等候「尊貴的公主」發話。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlp8Zv6yvm
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85AtsTQ90E
「進來吧。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7SUCB6rp7
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4l6RMWeEL
等待不久，一道非常虛弱且含糊的聲音傳了出來。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HsjiG2O6y
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVVEFB3xcL
但不知為何，總覺得好像在哪聽過？32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQS9lqNIzz
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4zi9LUrkg
瞳穿過屏風，正尋思著聲音與何人相似，只瞟見綴花粉紗的床帳掩著，而床尾處坐著十五六歲模樣的嬌俏宮女。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiYQrNwyai
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMLCJ9KKV7
原來還是有宮女在的嗎？瞳只想了這句後，便對著大床行了拜會的禮儀：「民女邱霧，拜見公主。」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaui33QOq2
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVEHYQkIHA
裡頭的公主也不知怎麼，讓瞳等了好些時候才顫著聲音回了免禮。32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFZ0BrXFPZ
32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeAEcPcmWP
瞳聽了，出於關心，還是決定先開口搭話：「聽聞公主偶感風寒，身子不爽，如今是否還覺得難受？要再喚御醫來否？」32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLGYZO2VSI
