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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqOpaLlDvn
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9yp5PEvzq
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4AikYMM1Y
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm4fPrUUgl
「慢著！」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrB5PZ3MoM
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGcTtnexEH
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4wi80LVrv
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HIUliZjgp
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbaAFn3zXc
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW14nJ7Pf8Y
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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAodDpsLfdB
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4NGNF4w2Q
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PD59IloWg
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67n75nLz7H
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCT2oGkjve
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZzs28n0rB
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pojaDN8Uh
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36an8KL1Ai
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz171JfWHuG
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDBzvcahJj
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzZp0g3NDE
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVQ7nEuWJF
「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――」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQaK5T27cy
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3VOEurMv3
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5Faup6kk0
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH5kGZYavf
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX57kG19vV1
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrCdcNorOA
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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Zk2KALxWF
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruGD1jki8e
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6AD0E7uZL
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDaCRlfrAB
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1TNZzIvMg
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LXI6Y90G0
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVQB5sNNgf
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFaTvFndyy
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v6AK9ZtSb
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYRT3JfGdJ
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJT3LI7h8L
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWbBz5FTIS
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG04usQOHvW
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORd0gioyWY
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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbudtquyAli
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CuGms2oXH
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFnwC4Dn7f
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49MFAZ6SZj
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL9z6y1oMV
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs2pb1CZhb
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW5vgp9w3t
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9toXkoqK93
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYntfhplzS
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh6aI5ikXS
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnB5O7q4Rk
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKGUibf7Gp
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RZp4Q5H8L
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOTEjTYyTK
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT84ZAybJS
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh99IKHshE9
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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUCk4TwmCE
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5C6Cshvbr
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhqlA09rVU
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfCwU5N8fc
毒蛇。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpqhWmZjrq
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Qh8QNgZu
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrbdYJOV8n
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ux36XCeN7
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLjbu8gh4N
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptTopdbloH
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvnOqZLwXS
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ0ECy41yE
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY2vtTiMag
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXWyau164J
「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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LX9YSaPBn
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQSAOlesPp
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfAxnabZjl
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zMy68fvyu
「好！」砲手高舉右手。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1khJ98MF1
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M38flIXRF
「放！」朱玹咆哮。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfJsOxjkke
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphc664UGOF
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyHZqFvjtJ
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMmBKy9WDN
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI0bT5qsTH
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxHYNijFsj
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0CX3N8RXo
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjgem9PUX1
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzrwKjUHpE
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bgwwdGGmG
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGayui8mzEd
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHSZbCVmRp
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhHf5SPPpv
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJLNpAoTLN
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZNVM5BiDw
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI3LNDz62Q
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYcIN3iCs7
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dS0m3KgtL
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapSUU3h8gu
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPfCXSWp0u
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3SVMSJNew
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVao7lUtAb
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2OsUCRdiG
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrLrzlu1Wu
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJbNywqs0G
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3MjYhJa2o
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsJGAKqWFl
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLnJ2doKUc
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmbYnvSlBF
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnkJ97yiXg
「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。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ327fdNZJCs
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ8DUGmuUm
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE8yEUdp6Y
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNNkX6FBCI
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc5ayduXMW
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLvsD3Sqtq
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkGqpdCJSS
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyctLdOIzsI
一切都像是靜止了。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QkkIpN4Rn
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcwORTL65v
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkCMLSPi0n
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8YwootrNd
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF0KJwrkjd
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRfMHaFW2w
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY2rHgH59V
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuZ3jbWXt9
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRUGbaBdTK
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F3JC56Caz
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。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGoFeAJ621
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWTNybzu16
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd9b751hWZ
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMgDbPz6BS
「放！」朱玹號令。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIUso2BONM
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7ok6yxY17
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA9xFI0HPN
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXQaE5Ju0r
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLMqAGfVUT
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrcRRmtR7l
咸若宮轟然倒塌。278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR0HKlYP5m
