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。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SDIzBdcds
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzVuQvHRSq
「即刻帶人到軍械庫去取洪武大砲。」朱玹道。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CKM4SmSay
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH76PSOMoD
「慢著！」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl91b5zeH8Q
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw9gFmHJkF
閃爍的火光，映照萬貴妃扭曲的面容。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WsYNj3ads
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqmp3FYxi3
「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。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6MyxyUbxa
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm5Rr7t5tH
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。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj2I6s1RiN
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NDTFHqMvJ
「本宮便是違反宮規，皇叔又待如何？」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC8e9lKyDN
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYm41gyH7G
「速請貴妃回宮。」朱玹大喝。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L14iAABnV
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xJ2ObO1i2
兩名禁軍上前，向萬貴妃行了一禮，作勢要她回宮。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa9Yz4UmYn
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHq6rsAI4j
萬貴妃昂首大笑，「就憑你們，有甚麼資格命令本宮？」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCuRlGaG1F
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyGw0awtcy
湖衣推離朱玹的懷抱，迎上萬貴妃尖厲的目光， 264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYaZouYwV0
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8XFykOiiu
「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――」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaUFexg3b2
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMkPHUq0bE
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhP8p45WB6
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSXk6ey88x
「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。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATealuj9L3
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA1dpJZKPg
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。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGa3lhbwqO
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg5i3C9vCt
「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。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPOapOg6Zl
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRxJQbBiy4
萬貴妃惡狠狠地啐了一口，一甩衣袖，轉頭即去。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H9gueTfeW
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQXGyuhj9Q
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS1LproZAT
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhDS57fM5c
汪直目不轉睛地回望她，時而露出詭異至極的笑容。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ3KW85YQe
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ2QU4Wcbd
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm4Gd81tQX
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EC8HrBA1X
「王爺……」見著此景，湖衣心下茫然。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagCx9aQepL
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczkDfIDChu
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。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KHdr9Jwzs
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3dgnfFrcv
想到自己居住許久的宮殿將被夷平，湖衣一時無言以對。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiXgJxMila
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHEdxTVvW2
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkNfiZP1Z1
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKanMZNAD1
某處砰然一聲，琉璃瓦片紛紛崩落，像是宮殿在流淚。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25icMGltE8
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMjNOKnoPp
「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。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelJrtl3A0r
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLQXQiHUji
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLNjpCR61n
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXu9oyjl2j
「若本王說不呢？」朱玹厲聲說。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzu5TZRc49
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIz9rmm3PF
朱玹與湖衣一同直視汪直，三人就這麼僵持半晌。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRabjiWuGb
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y4JaUwYWI
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。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6UKcNHXya
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasNbt30Ilh
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDzN3Oblqv
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iOUk11riE
毒蛇。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8nsHgXm53
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakNNZpTuii
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jcNCQA5c5
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriJE7odgcj
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mhpMoKybe
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXocunBZSQ
熱風的利刃攪動火焰。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DShthp3z8
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0eSVfkTtA
禁軍沿著咸若宮散開，六門洪武大砲皆已蓄勢待發。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi0Qn8XWVt
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUemSkbZHt
「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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zgHl5EL9M
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU4f1nEYg7
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa8Z0LtZFz
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHswckXP1NM
「好！」砲手高舉右手。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyUr8ADWHJ
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJg570f6WZ
「放！」朱玹咆哮。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixtbcCpNuY
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiYsgzmWtH
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuwe4vM3Tt
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMM3bYHcPc
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyWYTTiTQG
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJcFgpheDP
砲手再度清理炮口，準備下一次擊發。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR57oCOe0L
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJd7o1eET8
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OgiQaQj7M
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpZrqM6SUz
朱玹瞬間側過目光，他也發現到林中有人。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOXbX0bZTd
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj1ejwdCGd
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmwbaLAVNA
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9PBTMU68O
「許逵何在？」朱玹高聲喚道。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EgklTOahV
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYSwBzfMjB
「是，統領。」一名司軍出列。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIfvlcDUCt
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjnNjwhWT6
「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。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv5COIPz2b
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPyq6zf8ph
「是。」許逵領命後，退至後方一一指名親衛。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkPVbkocGt
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWRzwqDcwa
「王爺要我走？」湖衣不敢置信地望著朱玹。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Y78ymYp5
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLt7vD6nIl
「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。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTTiNqzj4x
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIwH7Ms6yW
「我不走，我要留下背負應得之罪，償還欠下的血債。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL1D0pJQKq
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VYjkkx3Gk
這麼多人在她面前枉死，她怎能苟且偷生？264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvHXx9M4lP
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtsS5itCLu
「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。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSLrF5wg3F
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQsKzl5P1L
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs1maEDKKZ
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqDlJ70AHC
許逵在前方引路，其餘二十人圍在她周邊，迫著她移步。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ8xQSvUvJ
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVzkDyrrnc
砲兵舉起手，等待開火的命令。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QWEQYdeI6
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLTOtx938u
一切都像是靜止了。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViX00wnwD5
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWTMLfoSeV
朱玹伸手將湖衣用力一推，「走！再不走就走不了。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfyr18p0hj
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5hYk8BkJZ
在她身後的親衛，半推著她向前走。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3luD1bXk7
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK590orNrIu
她一步一回首，望著火光中的朱玹――她深愛的男人。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWcllAY6CD
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhduWJjBQrl
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD2GIDPXeK
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Uj7ibPQT
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。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCLrLYKKep
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysa70jiZAN
她告訴自己要勇敢，眼前只是暫時作別，等待日後相聚……264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85VTJjzyb7
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcykJOOJA2F
「放！」朱玹號令。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQGouec92v
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiY9gdiYBr
震耳欲聾的巨響後，一陣煙牆襲來。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJba7PhL83
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMg5nwcL6N
她朝後望去，最後的一眼。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUdMRNDmDf
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cuLn50LaW
咸若宮轟然倒塌。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMTSaa5lv7
