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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgX8e3ctvo
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOpG2VCqTe
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfvkWA78ZD
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPg5woIRgE
「慢著！」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhkMHp2H3W
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHdYizcwQq
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uvMeyrzNh
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tRVG9Dysq
「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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb9JWFa5Rj
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHHCmlEjA0
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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8mImA83bi
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORFsrJtcl6
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXTwPqA7vf
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYyprCWcRm
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTKyzzpCUL
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhoWWcVzQJ
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuyX5goHET
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QS2x1DJ0H
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T2aNkJKAW
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEqMUQNF6w
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BP6UKe7aT
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtAJ01jMYC
「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――」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Llk7CcffF
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG1p3WIVOj
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAWAGojsoc
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmS0pemFvT
「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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi3Qt8bWTr
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk1JjfjjrM
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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyCjAKxiuM
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGt6GjYySd
「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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡordmKkH6ie
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL2WMWjcj7
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBHOwVstLg
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALhS4NVpYu
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEf7JVBgio
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkKKbtzJ7f
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42n4aEvE0S
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh2IdA4YDT
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe7p3pQlyG
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIZb4AUedC
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93f2wLLZIf
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4syJNr1x1
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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGG3kTrsl6
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSdyLZb3RC
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7uBHrhkjt
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ42MG9Dmr1
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnLy5K4SXa
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfAf4r3j8O
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgC2FebpzH
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNMfB0fMsm
「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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId1f0sACVT
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13kDArkOY1
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj5bgIpR0l
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtpug3gVz6
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWElMkQ2dQ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeEV1fjWkD
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDvfKuAXvN
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan5E8ealM0
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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSizBCGZIHi
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE1sgu5VSZ
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5xRguh5gr
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurQDkeSs0j
毒蛇。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCao5sUDSx
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTYQ7z7SvB
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOM0b64Apu
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9mOEU3rVD
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jHppDdaOK
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLbsPxXLIn
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1x7UiaboW
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZosTRMahwd
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO37xvjCQM
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO8a44vtT3
「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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULVLLDJfiC
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZCm4UU0JX
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLYJ39DJZi
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCTFBCy3Qf
「好！」砲手高舉右手。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6t8GgHlOq
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSSZRPDj0m
「放！」朱玹咆哮。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmawZVuKg9S
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzMYWOWs9f
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfrSVErPrj
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV6hdGg5wm
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ789xfNjv5x
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOfU0bdJ2w
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqAUzSmCpS
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqTNV8PSt1
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBoC1kKaMB
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ1RJTUn8w
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnArNp0irna
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbAyqpRUp7
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSmBinsqyZ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDeUWW989T
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC83X9NJEq
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku1K2BlC3M
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijSdORefu7
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbBkVKbf7F
「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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0muJEq8i4f
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6n7IRdPJR
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkieawbNDi
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8aH05Cuxn
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVpRbEH6qQ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwRonkfoTe
「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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3ML8qP9UG
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yk4nmWeWc
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpZfOhEWwj
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQefil94Ty
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuRB4UJfnD
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2a2HvEuCQ
「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。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZOI5NH7W6
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8iBaoj0kF
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1rhFOqQtQ
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfcavlpspi
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCwymcRitd
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7U0BO46c7
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4ceiTd9jU
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZSO1sgc14
一切都像是靜止了。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR3zxLc1Gr
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyhUcdu2Bx
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawpwTfupUz
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGNQzneW20
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt11eXoYsYu
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqERT5skZZ
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhsnKpWL0H
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxqIKzBpcy
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF2hipEIrR
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xmKU12cRX
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。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9KammaDkR
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPIL6Or0JT
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSzoIkYSl8
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hxs6DYb4q
「放！」朱玹號令。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDnQYWnyts
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbdKBnOcdK
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rC2gsOaFl
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTTt1WmWg6
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRupAf412Ta
294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCkiM12kIU
咸若宮轟然倒塌。294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ4HVEkaCX
