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。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD55xd6kRbC
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCPZVbT3u8
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSiHwZJ2l6
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWJ4ZUhTbN
「慢著！」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyldwMJT4ft
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJuCqHKaPT
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB7eAk3OTz
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3k0JD5MeG
「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。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS9Ol9Ttu5
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh2oDRa5vV
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。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMBH27OyDJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWiCH97F7H
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnfisSSZHO
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VNGZpcpnu
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7iWd42o9M
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOwjUGxFlx
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ505DYtC2e7
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs5iXmtmiV
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zw0rRPxFY
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxWimjudQE
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhJiNkKCJQ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvvXUwVTjp
「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――」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgknua5Myp2
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzJCc8APQU
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6FQQeB4ir
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwoQlswMIb
「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。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi8Qjbp9hz
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq7DI9ikCB
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。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbTGKc1iN9
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqimNE5jel
「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。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIvhtxF66x
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLMioMyn5B
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKCkxKYWax
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YquD6NTQM
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkTxc6IAZI
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiTxmLA4km
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreFdGbXuXo
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ62vfDUuM
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa3Uk7dzVP
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlmmvWRRUy
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVRB7D0JkP
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52vNgyoJNP
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。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WxDnVvOSM
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzAuOBhQcg
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAQTN38tJQ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekCIGq6qRD
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5vzY7r72x
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaCmi5Euty
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0u6T1OESo
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIuL2hTUcL
「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。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC5E0gRUoQ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5845MHMLOC
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZCMvm86PJ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC1ZvfGYQP
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VzcnRZtxa
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuk7hzvhxl
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes3QZB04z8
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBI0lHXLVb
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。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU06l8kyfbU
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkB1DJRNahO
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzorwCJjGC
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPd00UQXoc
毒蛇。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN9ObOJCrp
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpYI4XkCVV
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MlgKlfMuE
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7N4NaYoKu
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIsAfoA0Dg
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U5TnkmOOv
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQJqR9mD2R
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZKCdhqhjT
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYSSzPc5c4
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6MEGrHfyI
「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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwzeKZ9Rv0
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuszmsJo9q
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3er9PvPXW
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6IHcjqO4e
「好！」砲手高舉右手。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRbMp9LE4O
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwWrB9qtYf
「放！」朱玹咆哮。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsTGZZmB6i
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QIN99pRiw
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60H6bhSAtm
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY78CW2m5he
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQBNYUq8Qy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTyqHnJiA2
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ngOCSWWH5
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHViTod0owB
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknFiUh5sZU
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTW7ngXQmU
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgQ7gA7PVW
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dY3gpxrDi
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzl5gpdQOh
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FCLEsSY2I
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtTSwvaJxR
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypSXYbQeWY
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1UN0RBVvZ
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfGCRl5v6u
「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。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyTEuGMosN
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxNwSMugZV
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQkQ3B9irY
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItTb7EG21r
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9cNduw0ic
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS5MWXm4Ez
「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。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lHk6G5rBU
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3adBjuMWmN
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QIHZwvsN5
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrxG7pgN4f
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWIQI4jqrK
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XSfTweviR
「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。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjxULiOYax
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UGLe3G38G
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiZIZ7wDVh
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3QkTNAa45
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBufds9coir
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbHcEocpVJ
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8hGDjaO1S
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs58DiSiaz
一切都像是靜止了。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4hzGOssrg
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YqF9BtkGt
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgvlDlf3I3
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V7i2uq4mV
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTLAtf8ysi
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM23BnF4iq0
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewKVHEMJwd
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulY0oMYGUo
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0RMFFagdg
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvjCzRwJcs
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。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEIFXr6pN3
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkfdjJqjCH
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbCwnnHFXy
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIJcrrRusj
「放！」朱玹號令。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqLEibu3Vx
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5mISTMZZt
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCnZT1WYKD
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw8VInNa8o
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0NplsLY2K
299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYONqWDGQKW
咸若宮轟然倒塌。299Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwi7VC9oyH
