離開西殿以後,世嬅沒有遇到任何人事,暢通無阻的去到大門,登上銅輦,久違的出了東宮。
388Please respect copyright.PENANAS9zaqPTCQY
下輦時,天空早已黑透。她抬頭,只見夜空中密雲滿佈,不見星月,是個特別黑的晚上。388Please respect copyright.PENANA7V9b93gknU
388Please respect copyright.PENANAPw2IfarlOg
前面有領路的小太監提著燈在走,采風采露一左一右的在旁貼身攙扶,不時提醒世嬅留意腳下。388Please respect copyright.PENANAJqUAgWzhqT
388Please respect copyright.PENANApun3c3Mijx
如今她的身子沉了,走得不快,只慢吞吞的,像是踱步似的從貴和宮門走往正殿。388Please respect copyright.PENANAP5rnIJWJb7
388Please respect copyright.PENANAJCORtZ2tlP
貴和宮中燈已亮,卻不知怎的,不似往常那樣把宮殿照得猶如白晝,好像有誰怕驚擾了宮中積存的鬼魂,而刻意拒讓燈火明亮。388Please respect copyright.PENANAef0xPaPUi6
388Please respect copyright.PENANAVgX97EWdIN
不讓生人嚇著了鬼。388Please respect copyright.PENANA8bhHEVjQk1
388Please respect copyright.PENANAvh8jD42O1b
小太監手中的燈,便成了沿路最明亮的一盞,就是這一點光,領著她們走入那更更昏暗之處。388Please respect copyright.PENANA9l9hnDcx8s
388Please respect copyright.PENANAkpbxqSzNbX
這並不尋常。貴和宮配備的人手比東宮還要多上不少,平常總是每三步懸掛一盞宮燈,每十步立了個年輕的太監在值班,世嬅並不記得自己曾經見過這樣冷清無人的貴和宮。388Please respect copyright.PENANA6auQKHKoTq
388Please respect copyright.PENANAwaS6SyCY4a
她從東宮帶來的太監宮娥,全像是走入了禁地般緊閉著嘴,連呼吸聲也壓得極輕。388Please respect copyright.PENANAuYwjXrsn8E
388Please respect copyright.PENANAzGWVTj8dBd
不是說若有天災禍世,飛鳥走獸總是能率先察覺異狀,作出反應嗎?她瞧這些太監宮娥在宮中當差久了,都成了能預測禍事的飛鳥走獸。388Please respect copyright.PENANAGzGkj1Eyn6
388Please respect copyright.PENANA11VOrQ8GhX
「太子妃,這情形怕是有點不妥吧?」采風環視四周,靠在世嬅耳邊輕語:「要不,咱們還是先回東宮吧?待稟明了殿下,明日天亮了再來請安。」388Please respect copyright.PENANANqW2SEhAbd
388Please respect copyright.PENANArx20DyOJVG
先回東宮?388Please respect copyright.PENANAj7hOuA4koT
388Please respect copyright.PENANAk5uAvQea1P
世嬅看著這沒燈沒火的貴和宮,低喃一句:「怕是遲了。」388Please respect copyright.PENANA9jLwvbIkzz
388Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZkB2VssFW
姨母既特意讓相蘇於太子不在之時找上門來,把她召到貴和宮,現在又怎會讓其就這樣轉身離開?388Please respect copyright.PENANARyLNedoVO0
388Please respect copyright.PENANAy7cqhr0oVj
果不其然,采風還沒來得及回答,便聽到一聲叫喚從旁邊昏暗的小路傳來:「太子妃,您總算到了。」388Please respect copyright.PENANAb6bmtf5phH
388Please respect copyright.PENANA5VOBqQ4ymR
小太監忙把宮燈舉起照向前,但見相蘇笑意盈盈的,帶著兩個健碩的太監,快步走了過來,朝世嬅俐落地行禮請安。388Please respect copyright.PENANA2zn9sq4Dha
388Please respect copyright.PENANAD24Zsz85Y7
「相蘇姑姑,這麼黑的晚上,妳怎麼不拿盞燈呢?」世嬅回以一笑,手一擺便讓相蘇起來。388Please respect copyright.PENANAwjBLsG3AiD
388Please respect copyright.PENANAUNFykf3oBW
「奴婢在貴和宮當差這麼多年了,這宮中的路閉著眼也認得,有燈沒燈皆是一樣的。」相蘇說著,順勢就靠了過來,挽起世嬅的左手,把采露擠到一旁去。388Please respect copyright.PENANAeE8YBTVTC4
388Please respect copyright.PENANAOU5e6yEQYQ
「太子妃快請進正殿去吧,娘娘等您很久了。」388Please respect copyright.PENANAdf084QeHvN
388Please respect copyright.PENANAeYkbdHw5PB
世嬅沒有推開相蘇,也沒有加快腳步,只淺笑著開口詢問:「有勞相蘇姑姑了。不知娘娘突然傳召,可是發生了甚麼事?」388Please respect copyright.PENANA68XyiQsrUF
388Please respect copyright.PENANATu8sa6FyB9
「哪有甚麼事呢,娘娘不過是太久沒見您,想您了。」相蘇嘻嘻笑了兩聲,「我家娘娘這段日子以來,天天都叨唸著您呢,今晚總算把您盼來了。」388Please respect copyright.PENANAUyKfJXAeIZ
388Please respect copyright.PENANATj265QyoZF
天天叨唸?竟然叨唸了整整三個月才想到要召她過來?說的可是她那殺伐果斷的姨母?388Please respect copyright.PENANANgb54WgDAj
388Please respect copyright.PENANAzG9w2UvXFt
世嬅輕嘆了口氣,「原來如此,那就是我的不對了,過了這麼久才來給娘娘請安。」388Please respect copyright.PENANA9wF3qkLoE3
388Please respect copyright.PENANAatKzgoF59q
「太子妃不用介懷,現在來了不就好了嗎?」相蘇淺淺一笑,攙著世嬅便把人繼續往正殿帶去。388Please respect copyright.PENANAoqCunA8Stv
388Please respect copyright.PENANARjhUDTjVVX
正殿內外的燈倒是點亮了,在黑暗中遠遠的就能看到,像一條張開了血盆大口的巨蛇,伏在那兒等待她們一步接一步的走近。388Please respect copyright.PENANAlbhXYg45ZT
388Please respect copyright.PENANAPStOpIQTxn
世嬅吃力地登上階梯,跨進殿內,便見程惜芙高坐在主位之上,甚麼也沒做,只媚眼含笑的,垂頭瞅著她。388Please respect copyright.PENANA3mj9Qz7wfj
388Please respect copyright.PENANABgrltTM9W4
這景象,竟給人一種毛骨悚然之感。388Please respect copyright.PENANAlCStPpZtB3
388Please respect copyright.PENANA1wy58qgzEB
世嬅鬆開采風和相蘇,自個兒踏前兩步,朝程貴妃行了個標準的宮禮,笑道:「參見皇貴妃娘娘,讓您久等了。」388Please respect copyright.PENANAZRZRiiuClr
388Please respect copyright.PENANAzjWjtUQO8c
「客套話甭說了,」程貴妃還在笑,輕甩了甩袖,「妳先坐吧,別站著了。」388Please respect copyright.PENANAMs7GEe67ZX
388Please respect copyright.PENANAskGLH5RaqS
世嬅謝了恩,便握著采風的手,走到旁邊的位置坐下。388Please respect copyright.PENANAofZh2hE9DD
388Please respect copyright.PENANAZGIkQQnOED
人甫坐定,貴和宮的宮娥便捧著精緻的菜餚,一道接一道的送到她席前。388Please respect copyright.PENANATy4qi1sTkZ
388Please respect copyright.PENANAXGO1GYDJ9o
「本宮也餓了,太子妃還沒用饍吧?陪本宮用些可好?」嗓子輕柔,像在詢問。388Please respect copyright.PENANAemAgR1WmdN
388Please respect copyright.PENANAutVfWy0SV0
世嬅沒有回答,瞧著宮娥訓練有素的上菜。直至最後,當相蘇親自捧了一盅湯品過來後,她才抬頭,看向程貴妃。388Please respect copyright.PENANAdqWaMiuswF
388Please respect copyright.PENANA3v7MmWHD2W
「娘娘,這是?」388Please respect copyright.PENANAuyzBYlK1ol
388Please respect copyright.PENANAJhPKaGLdYN
「這盅烏雞湯是本宮讓御廚房準備的,文火熬了好幾個時辰了,既滋補又不怕上火,最是適合懷胎的婦人吃來補身子。」程貴妃含著笑,柔聲道:「妳就算吃不下其他東西,也得把這盅烏雞湯喝了,知道嗎?」388Please respect copyright.PENANAKgtRO9U2qs
388Please respect copyright.PENANAxAShV4UvVC
「嬅兒知道了,謝娘娘一番心意。」嬅兒笑著回答,卻沒動手,只給了采露一個眼神,讓她把雞湯舀到湯碗中放涼。388Please respect copyright.PENANAv4eimEVaJ0
388Please respect copyright.PENANABrQItQ3Z1x
「其實啊,女子懷胎生子從來就不是件易事。」程貴妃的視線落在世嬅的小腹上,突然深深嘆了口氣,「妳可得小心照顧自個兒。」388Please respect copyright.PENANAwx7WgZ2q8d
388Please respect copyright.PENANAoooYEp9WwJ
「娘娘何出此言?」世嬅反射性的撫上小腹,微瞇著眼問道。388Please respect copyright.PENANAh5lGjuSqO1
388Please respect copyright.PENANAztgGGaS0nb
她這個姨母,從不做不必要的事,說不必要的話,今晚把她單獨叫來,斷不可能只是為了要餵她喝雞湯,補身子。388Please respect copyright.PENANAVhKjSNKU8W
388Please respect copyright.PENANAzxfGByNU6A
「太子妃可記得欣兒之前跟妳提過,敏兒也有喜了?」388Please respect copyright.PENANAYawDt9IECR
388Please respect copyright.PENANAc2k6D6EPEF
世嬅點頭,「當然記得。嬅兒還記得娘娘說過敏兒的日子比我早些,大概會在今年初秋臨盤。」388Please respect copyright.PENANASGTLifUygo
388Please respect copyright.PENANAYZLAB2lN7i
「嗯,確實⋯⋯」程貴妃一頓,突然眼眶泛紅,竟像是要落淚似的,拿起隨身的絲帕輕壓了壓眼角,聲顫顫的續道:「昨兒個大宛突然捎來消息,說敏兒的孩子沒了⋯⋯是個已成形的男娃兒。」388Please respect copyright.PENANAz7CFwoyJnA
388Please respect copyright.PENANAqKpTaC50zt
世嬅的心一沉再沉。她在心中設想過各種情形,就沒想到竟是敏弦出事了,無法思考,只聽到自己急聲問道:「怎麼會這樣?敏兒現在如何?」388Please respect copyright.PENANAP5g3tf2OXB
388Please respect copyright.PENANAaX8ztSvOez
「這是敏兒和延留大王子的頭胎,是大宛王的長孫,她又怎會不傷心呢?聽說哭得暈過去好幾次,飯也吃不了,整個人生生瘦了兩圈。」388Please respect copyright.PENANAbafZ6eknx4
388Please respect copyright.PENANAMacRJ36tsn
程貴妃又抽泣了聲,深深嘆了口氣,「本宮只恨自己不在她身邊,連想親自給她餵口湯水也做不到。」388Please respect copyright.PENANAOS3voOIB8J
388Please respect copyright.PENANAkpn8LmMKAy
采露把舀好的雞湯擱到世嬅面前, 退至後頭站好。388Please respect copyright.PENANAe1gwuKWUDM
388Please respect copyright.PENANAKQciw3zVcs
世嬅沒有理會采露,再次追問:「娘娘可知發生甚麼事了?」388Please respect copyright.PENANAXSbzpcyFvo
388Please respect copyright.PENANAcm52QVl9hH
程貴妃停下拭淚的動作,為難的瞄了瞄世嬅身後的宮娥。388Please respect copyright.PENANAac3UA2CCEY
388Please respect copyright.PENANAN1jlGCL9n1
世嬅明白她的意思,遲疑了一下,還是開口下令:「采風,妳們都出去吧。」388Please respect copyright.PENANARWRibQaS5L
388Please respect copyright.PENANADuUopLexIv
「可是,太子妃⋯⋯」采風采露自是不願意,上次她們讓太子妃單獨跟程貴妃去青逸閣後,發生了那麼些事兒,殿下震怒不已,把兩人重重罰了。現在如若再來一次,太子妃又出了甚麼狀況的話,殿下定會把她們攆出東宮的。388Please respect copyright.PENANA5WnFtuQZ8q
388Please respect copyright.PENANAfc1SwQUy7E
然而,世嬅並沒有搭理她們,只重複了一遍:「都出去候著吧。」388Please respect copyright.PENANA1gugB79G1j
388Please respect copyright.PENANAWIKOOro71V
就算她們再不願,也不敢當著程貴妃的面忤逆世嬅,只得心不甘情不願的應了聲,帶著東宮的人,一步三回頭的退了出去。388Please respect copyright.PENANAV22pXizhi8
388Please respect copyright.PENANAYbSP4hg6s9
然後,不待程貴妃下令,相蘇也帶著貴和宮的宮娥太監,靜靜地消失在殿門後,給了兩人獨處的機會。388Please respect copyright.PENANAzzCKtRkfsa
388Please respect copyright.PENANAA0Hd7IVcqk
待正殿完全清空了後,世嬅抬首,顫聲再問,「娘娘現在可放寬心說話了吧?」388Please respect copyright.PENANAubruuUBV0T
388Please respect copyright.PENANApos7jD8Mg4
而那高高在上的女人,卻在一瞬間把所有情緒收斂了起來,漠然地坐在那裡,注視著她。388Please respect copyright.PENANAmFaJJUct3q
388Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0CWTh3mzq
光與影同時出現在程惜芙那張漂亮的臉孔上,氣氛再次變得很詭異。388Please respect copyright.PENANATOnwOzObIW
388Please respect copyright.PENANAqdC6omghof
良久之後,直到世嬅面前的雞湯都不再冒煙了,程惜芙方幽幽開口,道:「嬅兒,妳可知道延留大王子的二弟和三弟早在前年與匈奴的戰事中身亡,大宛王才剛立了他為儲君。」388Please respect copyright.PENANAPr3SDXh7zx
388Please respect copyright.PENANAnBm10UTdMU
方才的悲痛欲絕早已蕩然無存,程惜芙神色凝重,嚴肅的道:「也就是說,敏兒的兒子本該是大宛王位再下一任的繼承人。」388Please respect copyright.PENANAm9krrYA2cP
388Please respect copyright.PENANA98KpdpdrUx
「娘娘⋯⋯嬅兒這三個月來寸步不出東宮,確實沒聽說過這事兒。」世嬅撫著小腹,不知在害怕或心虛甚麼似的,聲音愈說愈輕。388Please respect copyright.PENANAHLXik9akEo
388Please respect copyright.PENANAjKR4n0LfEU
「敏兒的孩子,不是意外沒了的。是有人,不想讓她生下大宛的繼承人。」程貴妃目不轉睛的盯著世嬅,逐字逐句的問道:「妳覺得,那人會是誰呢?」
