還沒走到杏花林就聽見它的沙沙聲，無止盡的蕭瑟，就像深閨女兒的嘆息。夕陽的最後餘暉從枝枒間傾瀉而下，枝頭只剩萎黃的枯葉，杏花不知是何時凋謝的，應該是在四月，荼蘼花開以前。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2WrCpbXm0
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK2Rc06L9K
季節總是無聲息地流轉，就像春季來時，無法知道變化是從哪一天早晨開始的，當你發現的時候，滿山的杏花都開了；當時序由盛轉衰，同樣是在不知不覺中，盛放的花葉萎成一地秋殘。那是歲月的無情，也是無常世界的有常。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6RqDxYwYx

湖衣踏著乾枯的黃葉，走入林間，偶然的寧靜讓她有了從沒離開金陵的錯覺，奢華的皇宮殿宇，衣袖薰著龍涏香的皇帝，暗潮洶湧的宮廷鬥爭，一切都是出自她的想像，冰月還站在前面那株杏樹旁，手裡捧著香案，要她一起對著花神祭拜，祈求花神讓她們長成和杏花一樣嬌艷，這樣，未來的夫君就會愛她們一生一世。那時她是個待嫁女兒，現在……497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJaax12GZV

朱玹牽著兩人的坐騎，踩著不疾不徐的步伐向她走來，即使鞭傷未癒，他看來依然魁拔英武，沉穩正直。灰暗的樹林須臾間有了色彩。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcOjvarCnX
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0SUf60scK
「我當初就是在這裡被綁走的。」湖衣指著那片光禿的杏樹。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQXlzZ42bh
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfECS9KqzZ
「所以妳一語不發地跳下馬背，一路直奔過來，」朱玹說得莫可奈何，神情還是柔軟的，「就為了看這傷心地？」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA8IJvrK5s
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMIZuy1Flj
「不是，我是說，這不是個傷心地，」她微仰著臉，就這麼望著他，「如果我沒被綁走，就不會和你相遇。」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG8Hl9hVmA
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMyNw2HEXB
無論何時，若是他向她走來，她就會義無反顧地朝他走去，縱然一路風雨相隨，望不盡的漫漫長夜，只因為有他，前方有了光亮，她有了值得企盼的未來，她感動到直想落淚。 497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb9ps0zZzK
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJzZPwMzO8
原來這崎嶇長路的終點，是你啊。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD2RZqchK2
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m0kYYvuam
「別說癡話，」他看不出她百轉千迴的心事，僅輕輕牽動了唇角，那抹笑溫柔得像是冬陽乍現，可她都瞧見了。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUvEfWXM8A
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL9afmPLiD
穹蒼轉成朦朧的灰，杏樹葉子也漸漸轉暗。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeJ1rAiNL7
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlUuX4nK3E
「天色暗了，想入城可得快點。」他催促著，「別讓妳爹娘久候。」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEICQB0hogQ
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVg3PETEyN
湖衣笑而不語，心中暗嘆：都等過這麼些時日了，還差一時半刻嗎？497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2ilKEzWLy
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviPhoA0TFX
當日派人送她出城，才過通州驛站，京城便傳來消息：睿靖王朱玹因皇宮大火一案獲罪下獄，囚禁大理寺。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQroDrcLJWp
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37ZjK6imJI
她終於明白，原來是他扛下所有罪責，才換得她的自由。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHEOjj5reH
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm4RNfYgSp
她立即調轉馬頭進城，不顧一切衝向大理寺，陳訴自己才是火患的罪首，大理寺寺丞根本不願搭理她，命令侍衛將她驅走，也不讓她探監。許逵等人屢勸不聽後，索性先安排她在城裡住下，再前往金陵尋訪她的父母。原來父親棄官之後，在莫愁湖畔興創了崇文書院，與幾位同樣不願在官場沉浮的仕人一同講經督學。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAptX3xA3Y
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26vOre4xC8
知道父母安然無恙後，她更決意留在京城，爾後每日到大理寺門前等待，手裡緊握著他給她的板指，唯一的念想是親眼見他獲釋。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hXnOqTD5Q
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWhJyXxOk2
等到夏去秋來，京城蒙上一層抑鬱的顏色。五日前，朱玹禁閉滿百日，皇帝下了恩旨，釋放朱玹，撤了他不得擅離京城的禁制。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnNH0yrtVX
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQukVyawzJX
當他步出大理寺，看見她迎上前來的第一句話：是妳啊！497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMS0U5DDhG
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGecKCWaLS2
等了百日，迷霧終於散去。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFtBIk3XGP
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6qiaL5Yt4
那怕相隔千萬里，在浩瀚人海中，他們總會尋著彼此。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TJp4D20vl
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLwXTGpvRP
她喋喋不休地說著與他分別後的事兒，他微笑著傾聽。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqJSFIRCEA
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNapelUhgM9
待她掏心掏肺地說完心底的話，他提議：一起去金陵吧！497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXF0Gk8vV2
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhmiQGgE1B
朱玹知她想念家人，願陪著她一路南下。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4t0i8NibX
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLM4iv7Ymc
她自然思念家人，思念金陵，更掛記至今依然不知所蹤的冰月。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TYaLCEv9j
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBY2btcKWA
湖衣有預感，冰月一定在世上某處安然無恙，但是她一定要看見冰月才能安心。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEKbrzCKkr
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe4tH5csKs
「趕緊走吧！」他牽過馬匹，伸手欲助她上馬。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrsaicUw65
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpSKVyZsBf
「嗯。」她正要搭上他的手，強烈的亮光射過來，教她一時睜不開眼，只聽見雜沓的腳步聲拍打地面。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg9OoOCiAw
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8WpXQMNLj
等到她恢復視覺，一群舉著火炬，腰配繡春刀的緹騎，橫列在眼前。朱玹轉過身去，後方有更多人切斷他們的退路，這群人約有百名之數，想脫身只怕不易。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMsOTcyu2a
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5GZLDJmTo
「錦衣衛？」湖衣倒抽了一口氣。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZqT2gYjiK
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLF0TrL7eR
朱玹盯住身著飛魚服的指揮使。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNoxkp4hHD
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2njZWIaAJ
右面一名千戶上前幾步，躬身向朱玹行了一揖，「王爺，我等奉陛下口喻，緝拿逃犯回京，請王爺切勿阻攔。」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY4NT8ubWE
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfIwlTZmv6
朱玹哼了一聲，「一派胡言，可有駕帖？」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFvLjphV6Q
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss0VWkYuZb
指揮使一時語塞。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3eKDhMH6z
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfFzlpkHrL
皇帝既然有明旨，湖衣歿於咸若宮大火，即是恩赦之意，斷不會再派人追捕，口喻是假。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPcz71RHkO
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIq7o7i75N
「西廠拿人，無須駕帖。」一個陰柔至極的聲音從前面傳來。湖衣這才發現錦衣衛緹騎中還有為數不少的太監。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmIjqkGOMd
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWJfWVrKUR
最前一排緹騎分別往兩旁退開，一個噩夢中才會出現的人影走了出來。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVlrnomHH4
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbfrLsGB3G
汪直。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2Pas5g2QE
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhBKTA56he
「王爺，皇妃娘娘。」汪直向朱玹和湖衣各行了一禮，「汪某在此恭候多時了，請娘娘跟隨小的回去覆命。」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNzEzixTlZ
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidhrAfIgb6
錚的一聲，朱玹長劍出鞘，跨前數步，橫劍擋在湖衣身前。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB9JIFUJDs
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctv09F3nnf
「王爺定要為難汪某，」汪直又露出了那抹令人寒慄的笑，「西廠廠眾，奉上口喻，捉拿逃犯，若有抗拒者，就地正法！」497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliaR10a6Nd
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bx9hSS9Yx
轉眼間，四周圍繞了滿坑滿谷的敵人。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7bF2HeQR9
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoMXfFQsY9
湖衣望向杏花林的緩坡上，高掛著一輪血月，一株乾枯的杏樹，樹枝就像是伸向布著星子的無垠黑暗中，一隻焚燒的手掌。497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmpskXtAec
