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。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkfJmWCF3u
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYhEfKXPny
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLrn1GHSaN
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ta7ZS5z4m
「慢著！」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiJKBTYWuq
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE7jbspqtx
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH3AsovzFQ
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bL2k6cmQH
「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。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LkKT98iRh
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffCSK1nLm2
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。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjuNrxMldv
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkwKu9Hym5
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtJrHyKW2e
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceMC195XwL
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqiCNniWKH
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqv8DsoMh6
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9YANNZH71
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRvOHGb6ZL
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwRJkppkk7
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C9DZFkta7
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUttumGoN2
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlvFbQZbwD
「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――」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYzmgiFOeX
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gcY8nDpkN
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAVUqbQfJR
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftoCsF7Nko
「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。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oGXO1qgDj
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUYNPzbLRM
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。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5dvcMF4D5
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AiLGobAew
「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。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQDbY8CMhC
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe5EHnz0Mi
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cv7P2Sblc
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYakBGsKDtw
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU5PelzJR4
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh958M6YxU
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRcIFFkeMn
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW7vmKMuJO
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtnoXHU20o
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGUhIykjnI
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfyfg8xrKa
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnb3X8qAjb
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。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmb5DtltB5
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07YTYyD4Sk
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7E7E7JjKu
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXry9XlR3m
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3EITksoE6
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZA9n27WnM
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuVTDdKOrc
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINJhxLET63
「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。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6jMhV0Y09
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWiZN0YLJq
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NQcyDg13c
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOnUhZ9FIV
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySfRYv691l
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lYoaEH6BT
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGTgjAtWjv
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3hZoyBaAA
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。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhm0yfsqt7
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMXZnXdG99
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszVA9tzsPG
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgVEyMGL36
毒蛇。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYwNlgalca
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHutJtezILo
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5TAlOOaVN
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ413OUI1R0i
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nMcR0daJU
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVhgFb9O86
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8Pwq4HxUU
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudeOiZdtwI
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre6LtEpb2a
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJanysoC7z1
「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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uShYNJXXM
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DtxJjdyq7
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRUG4QkS9s
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnCYV70R4j
「好！」砲手高舉右手。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhYEThI2fZ
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaY2yFUvQ6
「放！」朱玹咆哮。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYQXmlbuVj
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FmDyKqdPR
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WvMN7ftlT
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLhH07JfUK
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzlhXw0DRC
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLpfRzlQKD
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62FqMH16Mq
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT7CslDSgP
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg5zKKjuAW
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeB3FQAguc
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38FXsjusa8
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOhfzud9oL
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdZBiiMr5k
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbRoIwOOAF
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFQrppJTZF
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYne5Sytpu
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnobeKCvf6
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3E3os24iz
「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。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwnAgVenE9
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwetQ0CkxI
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ0SqVrJnb
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jivAYpDYd
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLaA9Y6Dnp
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIydyJBXPy
「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。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YPSWxzlml
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNHzTDg0Z6
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CEUVJHKM0
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeJI6x0xHu
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPqxWexFjc
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jTCQbLWgb
「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。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbnPOu7zqd
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j0n6nSzRv
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbVIaUokyS
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t08FGMaxs
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsiwtNw9kI
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSz030Y8C7
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb33WNBIqx
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIsTXOF67h
一切都像是靜止了。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKBadcbCxD
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vo0Wirdqs
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdLIM5TeiB
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkDPohEZdG
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yYiL75qkP
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTurmLxLoth
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeVtZlfrgg
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLOEuG597F
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORGI4leZ31
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE0IcDobfX
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。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatiWPjzkpX
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuknW6DY0Xr
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeKRbqxsKs
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kMXeIpIja
「放！」朱玹號令。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueSbBumchG
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOeP45cODW
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneRwFUB8Jx
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pNzQgtLEZ
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP0jCqnSTQ
334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7yqJuw42x
咸若宮轟然倒塌。334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljIY3swmKd
