醫院內，十大家族專屬個人病房。謝喬嚇得鬆手，就在茶杯即將掉到地板的剎那，李博洋反應飛快地接住杯子，避免茶水灑滿地的悲劇。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2aT1DMgct
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3YcRxqKIu
「是的，令堂被關押，絞刑日期未定，估計是在中秋後。」李博洋把茶杯放回桌子，「時間比我想像中快，照這樣下去，您會來不及與夫人道別。該怎麼辦呢？二公子。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vTaTG6fr8
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzSG7GCmMo
「什麼怎麼辦！你不是來幫我的嗎！？」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFiIZHnEaT

謝喬大罵，吼完才發現自己有多失禮。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmtIK4JUUM
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNKTIGr7h4
「咳……家母是我奪嫡的重要力量，她死對我們沒有好處。」謝喬假裝鎮定，「博洋先生，高宇維不會放任這種情形發生的，對吧？」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaFXQkoV2U
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcykw76qHT3
「當然，我不是說了嗎？」李博洋瞄了一眼窗戶，「您是我們對抗謝照顏的重要夥伴，宇維少爺要我竭盡所能協助您。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkMdC7hPNV
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h6aFbQRhk
謝喬僥倖一笑，「聽您的意思，是想到方法了？」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdIkgmWCES
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1FqUBdTuy
「不是方法，是賭注。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq13NYfklvp
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v7j06ppww
李博洋叫謝喬靠近一點，在他耳邊說了悄悄話。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKWocpPtJN
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGYe1os78K
「這……！」謝喬瞪大眼睛，「博洋先生，如果失敗，您知道會有什麼後果嗎？」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YZqzGs8hm
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELcszrvfAS
「換個角度想：如果成功，豈不皆大歡喜？你能成為家主、令堂免於一死、令妹從此過著幸福快樂的生活……一切如你所願。」李博洋說：「與其白白等死，不如賭這一把，不成功便成仁。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIqmKrf6Df

「……。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf5wdY5jWg

謝喬思考很久，久到李博洋開始參觀他的病房。二十分鐘後，謝喬抬頭，眼神堅定地告訴他：779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iBtHB4DvG
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOJmJW6fip
「我明白了，就這麼做吧。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrhEdxWguy

書房內，謝照顏眼神凜冽地瞪著李晴煬，「你說我兒子為了權力，不惜殺死自己的父親？」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh4iIe835N
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bBBahlQR9
「誰叫你打算殺死他媽，何況，你是不是他爸爸，還不知道呢。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYl0C2EJQX
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHE0JuHO7C
坐在謝照顏對面的李晴煬兩手撐頭，悠哉問：「我把這消息告訴您了。謝老爺，您打算怎麼做？」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgIrr3fV50
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi69S7neeU
謝照顏冷哼，「小少爺，你的命在我手上，想活命就去解決謝喬，這問題應該是我問你。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYQsu5ged1
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz6CqXpBeh
李晴煬沒有回答，取而代之，他將一張紙蓋在桌上，遞給謝照顏。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zUWPyiSj7
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEwzIbCuiQ
「這是什麼？」謝照顏皺眉。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ84imGzru
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGzXuE2A5N
「我喜歡演戲。」李晴煬微笑，「如果老爺願意友情客串，我會很高興。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu4M35PWIV
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaTY5XyH4e
謝照顏沉默地、緩慢地，將那張紙打開。接下來的一分鐘，他們陷入一種奇怪的僵局。謝照顏時不時移開視線，用試探的眼神瞪著李晴煬；李晴煬認真注視謝照顏的臉，彷彿在看一幅莊嚴的畫。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXtXmgWzOO
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY3B23osOg
「結局呢？」謝照顏把紙蓋回桌上，還給李晴煬，「最重要的結局，為什麼空白？」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeawqfiXNyd
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVW8yCaGNe
「我正是為此而來的，謝老爺。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVhqhNl4AP

779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalC1l7ndrG
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWhqGIThwn
李晴煬故意放慢語速，用詞也比平時禮貌。謝照顏在心裡感慨──這名少年的心已朽壞、毫無人性，是徹頭徹尾的惡魔，跟他爺爺不相上下。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARcBl7MnqO
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4ERrjczSm
「無妨。」謝照顏閉上眼睛，「你不動手，我的手下也會殺他。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFqwSBn6ZW
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wBhDi8EXZ
「不不，懇請老爺給我機會。二公子十分仰慕我小叔，讓他跟小叔一樣被我殺死，沒有比這更好的結局。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZukePREnl
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbZ4zLvSYl
虛偽的舌頭造就虛偽的心靈。看著李晴煬虛偽的臉，謝照顏不以為然，「隨你便。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd8PWJsn8f

作為中華文化的傳承者，謝氏對中秋節的重視僅次農曆新年，謝賢是這次的活動籌畫。月亮出來後，他們舉行一場盛大的祭月儀式，由於「男不拜月，女不祭灶」，主祭由家族的女性長輩擔任，以往這個角色是張夫人，但因為心照不宣的原因，換成謝照顏的另一名妻子。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHT949DV5x
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD68cJV5Hw
祭月的步驟十分複雜。參加祭月的人須沐浴更衣、換上正式漢服；月出後，所有人在祭月專用的拜月亭，向月亮安置祭桌，供品有月餅、酒、梨、紅棗、葡萄、柿子、菱角、毛豆，及一盤切成蓮花狀的西瓜。參加祭月的女性除了眾妻妾，還有謝綠與謝頤，謝照顏與謝賢等男性負責協助；現場不見謝喬，因為他還在醫院。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3TAYl4gto
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBZZx8o0kf
「祭月！」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwXmzyap3f
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAp18jyfZE
擔任贊禮的謝照顏一開口，主祭便走上前，跪於席上。當贊禮唱完「三上香！」後，主祭接過執事──謝賢遞上的三支香、用祭桌上的蠟燭點燃，並朝月神一拜。同樣的過程重複三次。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhFt0H6LTO
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L6GfhFKfb
「三祭酒！」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPQuwuT9pe
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjim4t8kefJ
一樣，贊禮唱完，執事將裝滿酒的酒爵遞給主祭。主祭將酒灑在席前的地上，將酒爵放到祭桌。同樣的過程也重複三次。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtVZTJbFvk
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfY5xPLU6S
「讀祝！」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnMp1pQ8Ht
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV2r0YA1nj
執事將一卷宣紙遞給主祭。在月光與燭光的映照下，主祭開始朗誦祝文。朗誦完畢，贊禮唱「拜月！」，主祭聽從「拜！」、「興！」、「拜！」、「興！」、「平身！」的指示跪下、拜手、起身。拜月結束，贊禮唱「從獻！」，主祭才退下，其他參祭者照長幼之序，一個個走到席前，重複剛才的上香、拜月。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwMYlJJll9
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7Z85bVJ9c
謝綠和謝頤年紀最小，是最後上前拜月的。兩人神色從容，反倒遠方觀看的李晴煬感到驚奇。透過祭月，他看見中華文化對自然、神明的敬畏，在李門的小少爺眼裡，是很不可思議的。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPJ8iYbkeb
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ix7GvJrWR
「禮成！」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv2SkhDCk8
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59XhabwiLX
祭月儀式完成。主祭持切刀，將月餅平分給眾人，西瓜也每人一片。拿完應得的東西，被禁足的謝綠和無心玩樂的謝頤立刻告辭。她們只參加祭月，後續的賞月、宴飲沒有她們的份。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp422iEOnw1
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2yYIDbR4u
「唉，竟然只剩我一個老大，好孤單喔嗚嗚嗚……！」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLjL0GdA8F
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o8DH9DBMU
指揮人撤掉祭桌，謝賢走到李晴煬身邊，哀傷地說：「幸好有晴煬，不然，我就要獨自一人跟父親聊天了。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2BZ6ejrWe
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgU958OYuL
「我以為這是謝賢哥哥的強項。」李晴煬壞笑，「要不我別去賞月了，讓謝賢哥哥跟老爺獨處，增進父子感情？」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBONGAVticx
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY7FAHD27v
「不不，就算是我，也無法跟爸相處整個晚上，不要連你都丟下我，嗚嗚……！」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jNzAl3W5Y
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwKIq5gouA
謝賢誇張的反應逗得李晴煬大笑。今年中秋，謝賢弄了艘畫舫，邀請大家邊遊湖邊賞月，但謝照顏叫他縮減規模，只留父子倆和李晴煬三席。問原因，謝照顏說因為張夫人的事，他沒心情玩樂，父子倆和李晴煬聚聚就好，該招待的還是得招待。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2PxHMhU16
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlJkPeClzE
謝賢一臉沮喪，「晴煬抱歉，以往中秋賞月都很熱鬧，但今年是多事之秋，沒能好好招待你，我代替父親向您道歉。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0dvhDY5oT
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHwFKHfvac
「沒關係，我是客，一切依你們方便。」李晴煬推著謝賢，「別難過了，你想穿祭月的衣服上船嗎？我是不反對。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxMoIlMMiB
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV5yZvRL4K
「才不要，這衣服熱死了。」謝賢拉了拉領口，「麻煩你等我們囉，船上見。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xIhfY79Nh
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsgtzxcw5d
說完，謝賢便告辭，李晴煬去沉璧湖邊等人。畫舫已經停在岸邊，是艘十六米長的雙層畫舫，船屋內點著燈，燈光凸顯畫舫本身的柚木色光澤，又不會明亮得落於俗氣。許多僕從忙著搬東西上船，謝照顏專用的樂手也入內就位，李晴煬則被帶到畫舫的二層。他一開始覺得畫舫太大，但他忘記──堂堂家主遊船，隨行的僕從一定很多，這樣的大小反而剛好，多一點人也不會尷尬。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtplVS5ifDc
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIW5qVujiN
「……。」779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmbeQeDLBz
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B3KqDJ2lJ
只有自己一人，李晴煬呼了口氣，用非常放鬆的姿式躺在椅背。中秋的滿月很美，他望著天空，漂亮的雙眼若有所思，手不自覺摸上胸前的黑豹項鍊。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXD7dyW5Lf
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp5ZK82jSt
他在想人。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ20GoTM9w
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYRra1gR1U
想高宇維，想李央，還是想神與畜的大家，沒有人知道。他聽說中秋是團圓的節日，但李晴煬，他沒有團圓的對象，因為高宇維教他的忠心，是一份孤獨的忠心。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nh9PZ10qx
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFRD3wDw21
那天，謝綠問他：如果高宇維做錯了，也要一起犯錯嗎？779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcnT50Cqxy
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytP8FYessb
他的答案是YES。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAjvrIhwnz
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqoyEJUtCm
除了YES，還能回答什麼？779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWi434pn8u
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw6lOgPZ4P
這樣的忠心讓他滿足。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKZXDiEmzT
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowUHbsF8lj
這樣的滿足也讓他孤獨。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWeBbPfDzf
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhORffxN2JI
高宇維正在超越李晴煬自身，未來，他會栽入無法回頭的懸崖，自我也會死在那個懸崖，所以，李晴煬才摸著項鍊，想著李央。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDyqnVCfty
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAJT0Eg0ms

──那是他的自我。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh8FV4wEyo

他不會忘記李央怎麼愛他。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzczctEbtQn

就在這時，謝賢來了，謝照顏也在幾分鐘後抵達。李晴煬坐直身子，放開項鍊，重拾他的招牌微笑。779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EEI92PeD1
779Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZaS55FoTT
無論中秋象徵什麼，無論高宇維的忠心要把他帶去哪，李晴煬保證，他走過的地方沒有團圓，沒有佳節，只有腥風與血雨。8964 copyright protection775ＰＥＮＡＮＡteIF9Tk5tq 維尼
