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。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvKEcDxpsH
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAjoXVxSqX
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4BtcF3cnP
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrSfaAmNWE
「慢著！」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwDABPtXk8
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx9X2OrSz4
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIesWIEMjN
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ka5DOrXIJ
「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。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT0QNGpHag
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTs69UKMoJ
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。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4macrDbEDS
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXg5qSX7I3
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTAl9fJtLI
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqleKIdijwq
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WjKpoMi9g
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz9itOqZ2O
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqLgQQveNm
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKFaMfH5ti
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEKtJhDhwQ
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVTcnS1rtP
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5nvPJUpbZ
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V6iz33CUn
「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――」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzXJg1CcLS
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk9zXpcPbE
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoKmAipfHx
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OHW36nhfG
「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。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDL39AHfPE
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSfu5WmgCZ
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。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NYd93SCTI
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoswVOcXgC
「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。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4W6n86fbB
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyxfqCppIK
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf0x3ezmoe
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzqQrPU7ai
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT7y4bsvg3
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv64iQZ6Bl
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoL8l3y5OY
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdAlc0qwx7
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNOCS3LKmg
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6geP6iHg5
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9bU9tjtrM
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9twEW73VmL
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。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabq4Ey5urg
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUImvwUFWfk
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUlsxBWeXs
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEvBhsoFTd
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaX5Z6bPiQ
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb9XWj8fM2
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROQi3KBjS2
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3NcHUMWId
「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。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpFYqps70M
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNiqObCI5N
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cFBnqPSQ5
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcjLAdEvqW
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMZJ7ERthY
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcGwc2PAKF
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShAU0gP7eM
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvr4G8jP0q
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。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiusqseTYp7
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgOMBh9M9B
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf7jEbHnDe
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuYIxb8u0S
毒蛇。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaXqGAVM39
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU1d2peQL2
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkxSgBDsaE
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8cG1JDNBV
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKK7a7Jf3t
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALHJIyRPFK
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloyh4xouIu
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0poNvFuBY7
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg36kqz18f
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkJDyj7PRu
「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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1efPYdd4hx
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1lO7ZosE6
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisGWpPd91z
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE5805kZcS
「好！」砲手高舉右手。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8FUJoNRjD
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaibknh5Sf
「放！」朱玹咆哮。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgy1iwtmVK
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREUEWW67EO
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoaldu4uUA
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QmSBX9oT4
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56MtEe4sfn
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGDGUW6yDb
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHl8SIb7rb
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pzljKwuPX
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcHfGnTgap
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoERp75bEKM
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFMHLDqzgF
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo8Sg57r9N
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw60t4Jtr2K
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZjOL48ake
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTpmOj6O2N
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjyyoN1xMR
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdj6uV80Lb
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmBx790YD6
「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。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2msNXUibK
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtt6ZfctnK
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ034X7v1PZC
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kW6uXDaWB
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTpCPsMFSu
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfKytNJttG
「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。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgQKIMcVjM
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMqph6mjL2
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLVM2pCft5
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r7EVml9lE
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYUrSZmY7U
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU6GrY0AfF
「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。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooHZa65Qyr
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gPahM5ES4
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCHbzgwPIe
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9EkY540Nb
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dnrucvslm
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVbCoAN9Fc
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJBjeXdt9y
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsBL7EJVhb
一切都像是靜止了。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljFsF4u3IL
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLjStZ7OCK
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgft9nFLZ7
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkPwi4rov5
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf8DNGP12h
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4gAAo4wIY
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0M3fPwPip
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TWYOK12AF
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefZwjEF4bP
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt9WVVFTPi
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。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX8aPbEUZk
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ymbnINJY9
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7OnNprNu6
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡES8bpuIM9C
「放！」朱玹號令。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsNfuwSjGH
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugiar0sMdt
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1zu52A68Z
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaNI3lyUN2
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKfJJqkEHZ
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P67FHSfBE
咸若宮轟然倒塌。282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk9NoVCe8i
