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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9J6L4ebpG
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyZISRu2r8
「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。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdqMPtIj1s

「什麼怎麼辦！你不是來幫我的嗎！？」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpMboV0dBf

謝喬大罵，吼完才發現自己有多失禮。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJtqm83W43
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA5Cvlridm
「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？」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuhSZVfQch
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgckFvRe8P
「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。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEFWX48omZ
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN2scz5gyw
謝喬僥倖一笑，「聽您的意思，是想到方法了？」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KiQEhopPs
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgohc2i43XC
「不是方法，是賭注。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9keGMdEkrw
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczXn2KSPzE
李博洋叫謝喬靠近一點，在他耳邊說了悄悄話。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS0IurMjk1
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsSVL24w02
「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？」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCl7G0tOkd
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UGcMoFFpu
「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。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQalb4zVj6h

「……。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezXDZY09NP

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：746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBiFdKU5C7
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bz992ephh
「我明白了，就這麼做吧。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JmLTcHYFh

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？」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD0bsfs3zZ
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yw0VETMBa
「誰叫你打算殺死他媽，何況，你是不是他爸爸，還不知道呢。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Drczq60P
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvH5uvQjk9
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？」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFwhNmA5wh
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c5tJyhRac
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。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOln3cdaYvr
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlfS4YwKX0
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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVJLPXxTBr
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfFTVI1L8v
「這是什麼？」謝照顏皺眉。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDXYT4FmDA
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy9hTkISY2
「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。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLteIErNZh6
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbYz35YwcM
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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp2lDnmrZM
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3Znt0ihob
「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？」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k1UyGNS7L
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFi0ZmMUnN
「我正是為此而來的，謝老爺。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMPbxNwCFw

746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RyvJRa6aN
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkJd37yZ5M
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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfgaErIw2R
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTnrrRb5IG
「無妨。」謝照顏閉上眼睛，「你不動手，我的手下也會殺他。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEV3AWb6RU
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1zTDBvYGz
「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。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMnxYnyE7N
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn69AhSvdrl
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。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9tQjRSbDp

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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGaLA3h1Dp
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F4TV1csYA
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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVivfLcgoXH
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC2KziT9RD
「祭月！」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5YX0z8rSn
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgvkZlyi6Z
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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDghiV2u6yd
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjYmkavN6J
「三祭酒！」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCLC85Z7oH
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3IGDSWs25
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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5E2ZIF7ju
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0QJcw7OEN
「讀祝！」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBcGqcXLz4
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GA2ykbceU
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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2M73tiZ77
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo0QwA1E8D
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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJVTg5zPGX
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShgxCfcQhm
「禮成！」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc4KP8Smhy
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ466cO8wsgR
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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpq1oeHGwC
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcjMPgq1Kv
「唉，竟然只剩我一個老大，好孤單喔嗚嗚嗚……！」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESAUIqJAKF
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrrIy5nqlJ
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。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGkyXznJQ1
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKJgmUvATK
「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？」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttFqSHCyiI
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhFf3sZlYV
「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……！」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvx24MsDtc
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YmY5rQYbf
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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9OT8vn71N
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZpqJd3xKq
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。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp7Fg5S324
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07KpOZkp6n
「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。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvJh3AUDEm
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy1i7BR9m6
「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。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsATAwgPWp9
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rHlhW4juZ
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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQx9aXrgKj

「……。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YrxFrEbpQ
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTQy3S0Yxi
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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI75xXzUl6
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkoFdOhJ0z
他在想人。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw21Z4hKZt
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WetUu3aN4
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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosamjm4gwt
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVLjH1OWkz
那天，謝綠問他：如果高宇維做錯了，也要一起犯錯嗎？746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHrqanI5fP
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2elDEUQP6
他的答案是YES。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RswzVJQK3
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9BhhSEQHP
除了YES，還能回答什麼？746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XMcHNEfdO
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBWRnDrlLu
這樣的忠心讓他滿足。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY5g2APh2U
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi6W5drF4r
這樣的滿足也讓他孤獨。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnJfb7lp4R
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP2CudFf36
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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNV5wprmq8
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSjPpkwU9w
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKif7QXlMC
──那是他的自我。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1elurqmEO
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe9mEEXKlZ
他不會忘記李央怎麼愛他。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxVe7q2Tr3
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75GjQuxqQ7
也不會忘記自己對李央的愛。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH2G1CcHB5

746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2AxjqZ3La
「……。」746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzXgj6Do2b
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA8arD3HJE
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。746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uqcAzsIuR
746Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU7RJ3csR3
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 protection742ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGxcSgsiMu 維尼
