醫院內，十大家族專屬個人病房。謝喬嚇得鬆手，就在茶杯即將掉到地板的剎那，李博洋反應飛快地接住杯子，避免茶水灑滿地的悲劇。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJgrSIiFl6
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kZE42eAYx
「是的，令堂被關押，絞刑日期未定，估計是在中秋後。」李博洋把茶杯放回桌子，「時間比我想像中快，照這樣下去，您會來不及與夫人道別。該怎麼辦呢？二公子。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBBG25wqJv
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoryxXpc76r
「什麼怎麼辦！你不是來幫我的嗎！？」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokgUixfQzf

謝喬大罵，吼完才發現自己有多失禮。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhOX4pZUXi
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcUH7DCcvi
「咳……家母是我奪嫡的重要力量，她死對我們沒有好處。」謝喬假裝鎮定，「博洋先生，高宇維不會放任這種情形發生的，對吧？」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yNDR32oZT
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i76m9nW3N
「當然，我不是說了嗎？」李博洋瞄了一眼窗戶，「您是我們對抗謝照顏的重要夥伴，宇維少爺要我竭盡所能協助您。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSomspZe8yv
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ23WmtA7v
謝喬僥倖一笑，「聽您的意思，是想到方法了？」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOc9R1Sjpj
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiduFhDi8c
「不是方法，是賭注。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zy2JJ1Aah
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPO6ziwnyo
李博洋叫謝喬靠近一點，在他耳邊說了悄悄話。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WdNjmmm1w
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ekW18IxcY
「這……！」謝喬瞪大眼睛，「博洋先生，如果失敗，您知道會有什麼後果嗎？」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu3pzN9fAQ
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMWSfNUOZe
「換個角度想：如果成功，豈不皆大歡喜？你能成為家主、令堂免於一死、令妹從此過著幸福快樂的生活……一切如你所願。」李博洋說：「與其白白等死，不如賭這一把，不成功便成仁。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToX3i4Mamc
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2MDIcOZKQ
「……。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNdivNBp5I
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidmGrnPKUN
謝喬思考很久，久到李博洋開始參觀他的病房。二十分鐘後，謝喬抬頭，眼神堅定地告訴他：774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ94zQnmbKq
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBUDWeMnXh
「我明白了，就這麼做吧。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNlizP7DlP
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7xaRDgMDq
李博洋十分滿意。他摸了摸脖子上的佛珠，「預祝我們，合作愉快。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrM7sINnja

書房內，謝照顏眼神凜冽地瞪著李晴煬，「你說我兒子為了權力，不惜殺死自己的父親？」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygwe7ksjDg
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpiEWF5qtF
「誰叫你打算殺死他媽，何況，你是不是他爸爸，還不知道呢。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vlNE3RRLX
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgAoA5v3ll
坐在謝照顏對面的李晴煬兩手撐頭，悠哉問：「我把這消息告訴您了。謝老爺，您打算怎麼做？」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCnlbfzr3l
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIKLKidSKW
謝照顏冷哼，「小少爺，你的命在我手上，想活命就去解決謝喬，這問題應該是我問你。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqsrmFCGBy
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhsf2SWcWW
李晴煬沒有回答，取而代之，他將一張紙蓋在桌上，遞給謝照顏。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszxYdB13iv
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1lTYb7uGy
「這是什麼？」謝照顏皺眉。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XsbHRzaWS
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2wd0PGbDp
「我喜歡演戲。」李晴煬微笑，「如果老爺願意友情客串，我會很高興。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvOCHc4djL
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNolJlx1yNQ
謝照顏沉默地、緩慢地，將那張紙打開。接下來的一分鐘，他們陷入一種奇怪的僵局。謝照顏時不時移開視線，用試探的眼神瞪著李晴煬；李晴煬認真注視謝照顏的臉，彷彿在看一幅莊嚴的畫。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRh3Ha6BT4
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeCPOgG6mv
「結局呢？」謝照顏把紙蓋回桌上，還給李晴煬，「最重要的結局，為什麼空白？」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4XSPmuotW
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Rq4ihNKSZ
「我正是為此而來的，謝老爺。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ00CCSwNE

李晴煬眼裡的光澤全部消失，可是他還在笑。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yZyx1BflP

774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaa4501OTL
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomf9Cz5DHu
李晴煬故意放慢語速，用詞也比平時禮貌。謝照顏在心裡感慨──這名少年的心已朽壞、毫無人性，是徹頭徹尾的惡魔，跟他爺爺不相上下。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYacglZA2j2
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Sm34RDru
「無妨。」謝照顏閉上眼睛，「你不動手，我的手下也會殺他。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDxDW2gVRp
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8DU8pgunp
「不不，懇請老爺給我機會。二公子十分仰慕我小叔，讓他跟小叔一樣被我殺死，沒有比這更好的結局。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i8Bd2vZTY
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRU4m5mKkk
虛偽的舌頭造就虛偽的心靈。看著李晴煬虛偽的臉，謝照顏不以為然，「隨你便。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O1FGTn2tJ

作為中華文化的傳承者，謝氏對中秋節的重視僅次農曆新年，謝賢是這次的活動籌畫。月亮出來後，他們舉行一場盛大的祭月儀式，由於「男不拜月，女不祭灶」，主祭由家族的女性長輩擔任，以往這個角色是張夫人，但因為心照不宣的原因，換成謝照顏的另一名妻子。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW09D24ap7
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0K0osWSoI
祭月的步驟十分複雜。參加祭月的人須沐浴更衣、換上正式漢服；月出後，所有人在祭月專用的拜月亭，向月亮安置祭桌，供品有月餅、酒、梨、紅棗、葡萄、柿子、菱角、毛豆，及一盤切成蓮花狀的西瓜。參加祭月的女性除了眾妻妾，還有謝綠與謝頤，謝照顏與謝賢等男性負責協助；現場不見謝喬，因為他還在醫院。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5kPPyqhEE
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q3wj0FShG
「祭月！」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkHcRAFFZ6
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ4EGgOoBD
擔任贊禮的謝照顏一開口，主祭便走上前，跪於席上。當贊禮唱完「三上香！」後，主祭接過執事──謝賢遞上的三支香、用祭桌上的蠟燭點燃，並朝月神一拜。同樣的過程重複三次。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9onIKa3qN
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIliEUP6sE
「三祭酒！」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu8k75S6Ar
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfd5BsECEY
一樣，贊禮唱完，執事將裝滿酒的酒爵遞給主祭。主祭將酒灑在席前的地上，將酒爵放到祭桌。同樣的過程也重複三次。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A3LgtFYMU
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjxdWWP9w1
「讀祝！」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yFiy4C5Bh
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE4wkmYWMr
執事將一卷宣紙遞給主祭。在月光與燭光的映照下，主祭開始朗誦祝文。朗誦完畢，贊禮唱「拜月！」，主祭聽從「拜！」、「興！」、「拜！」、「興！」、「平身！」的指示跪下、拜手、起身。拜月結束，贊禮唱「從獻！」，主祭才退下，其他參祭者照長幼之序，一個個走到席前，重複剛才的上香、拜月。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IpA23fGvS
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOR1d5XjFj
謝綠和謝頤年紀最小，是最後上前拜月的。兩人神色從容，反倒遠方觀看的李晴煬感到驚奇。透過祭月，他看見中華文化對自然、神明的敬畏，在李門的小少爺眼裡，是很不可思議的。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMgUEuj5Dn
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiZbim08Fi
「禮成！」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBRuq3H2cz
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BanA3AKTV
祭月儀式完成。主祭持切刀，將月餅平分給眾人，西瓜也每人一片。拿完應得的東西，被禁足的謝綠和無心玩樂的謝頤立刻告辭。她們只參加祭月，後續的賞月、宴飲沒有她們的份。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ybbjsW4QJ
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44GfvzKYOY
「唉，竟然只剩我一個老大，好孤單喔嗚嗚嗚……！」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3PwF7ROdL
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPDvLKsP6Y
指揮人撤掉祭桌，謝賢走到李晴煬身邊，哀傷地說：「幸好有晴煬，不然，我就要獨自一人跟父親聊天了。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjPPM6v8Ih
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICZBrGayzY
「我以為這是謝賢哥哥的強項。」李晴煬壞笑，「要不我別去賞月了，讓謝賢哥哥跟老爺獨處，增進父子感情？」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbEuyRShk9
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy9gtxE6Pv
「不不，就算是我，也無法跟爸相處整個晚上，不要連你都丟下我，嗚嗚……！」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BOysG9ccO
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJwaTUP0G0
謝賢誇張的反應逗得李晴煬大笑。今年中秋，謝賢弄了艘畫舫，邀請大家邊遊湖邊賞月，但謝照顏叫他縮減規模，只留父子倆和李晴煬三席。問原因，謝照顏說因為張夫人的事，他沒心情玩樂，父子倆和李晴煬聚聚就好，該招待的還是得招待。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFkvcAbwRj
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr9Xl7XTwI
謝賢一臉沮喪，「晴煬抱歉，以往中秋賞月都很熱鬧，但今年是多事之秋，沒能好好招待你，我代替父親向您道歉。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QwnL8zuVa
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepEnV5WEEP
「沒關係，我是客，一切依你們方便。」李晴煬推著謝賢，「別難過了，你想穿祭月的衣服上船嗎？我是不反對。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMHE4P1ffn
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnmXtpevHJ
「才不要，這衣服熱死了。」謝賢拉了拉領口，「麻煩你等我們囉，船上見。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2CLCa2hOe
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz78UFj6bu
說完，謝賢便告辭，李晴煬去沉璧湖邊等人。畫舫已經停在岸邊，是艘十六米長的雙層畫舫，船屋內點著燈，燈光凸顯畫舫本身的柚木色光澤，又不會明亮得落於俗氣。許多僕從忙著搬東西上船，謝照顏專用的樂手也入內就位，李晴煬則被帶到畫舫的二層。他一開始覺得畫舫太大，但他忘記──堂堂家主遊船，隨行的僕從一定很多，這樣的大小反而剛好，多一點人也不會尷尬。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBnM3KTxAQ
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0rsVoqmq8
「……。」774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaVUxqBHtP
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQgSw6LuTb
只有自己一人，李晴煬呼了口氣，用非常放鬆的姿式躺在椅背。中秋的滿月很美，他望著天空，漂亮的雙眼若有所思，手不自覺摸上胸前的黑豹項鍊。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCPDg1sGHF
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HVBdv73zH
他在想人。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZJNI4LfsW
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC9cXhN2qk
想高宇維，想李央，還是想神與畜的大家，沒有人知道。他聽說中秋是團圓的節日，但李晴煬，他沒有團圓的對象，因為高宇維教他的忠心，是一份孤獨的忠心。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoe3izb8Ps
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kMw2ElnJQ
那天，謝綠問他：如果高宇維做錯了，也要一起犯錯嗎？774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoFigznFbF
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMBu3DQzGT
他的答案是YES。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6gds5GZ6e
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdITuM7cTau
除了YES，還能回答什麼？774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz4mp7OoA5
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtrLBjG3ZO
這樣的忠心讓他滿足。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW4Mk2JbPV
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2bBuSYA90
這樣的滿足也讓他孤獨。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGwp46PGon
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykiUaLAkxo
高宇維正在超越李晴煬自身，未來，他會栽入無法回頭的懸崖，自我也會死在那個懸崖，所以，李晴煬才摸著項鍊，想著李央。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgKEO6x8iL
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyJUcUtSZW

──那是他的自我。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUHuM5P516

他不會忘記李央怎麼愛他。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBr7IlT4vk

也不會忘記自己對李央的愛。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jv9LyWWZ7

774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB31NtHBkb
就在這時，謝賢來了，謝照顏也在幾分鐘後抵達。李晴煬坐直身子，放開項鍊，重拾他的招牌微笑。774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBEXELuEU4
774Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7tgJbu6Ju
無論中秋象徵什麼，無論高宇維的忠心要把他帶去哪，李晴煬保證，他走過的地方沒有團圓，沒有佳節，只有腥風與血雨。8964 copyright protection770ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C9JuMBdBV 維尼
