事發那天是大雪。各宮各殿的池塘皆被冰封如鐵，層層白雪覆蓋其上，猶如在保守著一個又一個不可告人的秘密。
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcVuXeCgAu
觸目盡是死寂的白，宮人披著厚實的冬裝，紛紛躲進燒著火盆的屋內避寒，叫整座恒安禁宮靜默如無人之城。
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mfSrzJU87
沒人想到就在這天晚上，於月上中天之前竟會發生那麼多事，徹底改寫了順天朝的歷史。
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l3rZekiIU
自那次駕臨東宮後，程貴妃便沒有再出現過。二皇子凌祈原倒是隔天就來，確如程貴妃所諾的，沒有再做任何越軌之事，就只是端著茶盞，坐在一旁靜靜看著任世嬅的一舉一動。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUMNOZ48cC
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOM7GHi1Eg
世嬅並不太搭理他，自顧自地做著手上的事情。昭昭長得快，她想給孩子多縫製兩套新衣，冬裝跟夏衣全部都要。
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxMr9n4qAx
反正待茶涼了，那男人便會起身離去。
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTGBKqHFqW
世嬅靜養著身子。但就算過了整整一個月的時間，那次遺留下來的痕跡依然還在，一道暗影套在她的脖子上，就像有一隻無形的手死掐著她的命不放。
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j7Bmf9mAl
剛玉為了給她更多時間休養，一直沒有把昭昭送回西殿。世嬅也就沒有派人去接，兩人心照不宣的，昭昭留在南廂會比回來西殿更加安全——誰都不想讓凌祈原和昭昭碰面。
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjW3N1PgZm
如是者又過了一段時間，來到大雪之時。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLsRHzqd2j
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK7tFZsdIR
那天早上，世嬅起來後用了少許東西，采風如常地送上湯藥。藥由王院判處方，有鎮痛的功效，用藥後人總是昏昏沉沉的提不起勁兒來。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvczdAokaXw
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjTyGZgZoN
她半躺回到榻上閉目歇息，在似睡未睡之間思緒如水流動著。有關他與她的，還有她與她的片段，雜亂無章地串連在一起。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCCvVZt2h1
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiJI7Olbpr
無端又想起，那年那日佛深寺旁那個鋪滿了白雪的明鏡湖，沒有遊人也沒有往來的船舶。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw96NM91KI9
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F9yUbHmzZ
萬物無聲，靜得能讓人聽見某些平日不會宣之於口的話。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNvsSnXdvF
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhISYTmyM2
「告訴孤，妳嫁入東宮，到底是為了甚麼？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi2Yv5j6E9
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5P2YRLMtd
「假若嬅兒說，我是為了殿下而來的，殿下可會相信？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjQREKuWYg
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIURmcPrOZo
那是她第一次窺見，自己似乎被他記在了心上。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKW7ZIj6pF
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeOE5Lj5AE
在漫天風雪之中，兩顆心之間的距離，首次被拉得這麼這麼的近。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN5RVkf7eq
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmXEsDWXmO
「何謂為孤而來？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsYWpUBQCA
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMz5IfFUpx
「為了在僅有的時間裡，陪在殿下身邊。為了成為殿下的妻子，與您相守一場。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8DcxX1Bp1
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPYG1bUBsJ
「十年修得同船渡，百年修得共枕眠，並非真的那麼容易。嬅兒想要的，就是那麼簡單。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o2DIzNVzw
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO6ZdWjbLT
男人耳根泛紅的別開了臉。那珍稀的模樣猶在眼前，好像只要她一伸手就能抓住他的衣袖⋯⋯世嬅輕輕一嘆，感覺眼角微濕。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EbgPZkZrk
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3nZOLmrrU
她任淚水滑落，依然緊閉雙眼，不讓記憶消散。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFqPyZOZ0G
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFFHd7rFwA
而現實，又怎可能輕易放過她呢？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9GiBAbJl9
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z5OBm97hH
忽地，一陣騷動在殿外響起。隱隱約約的，似有人在遠方叫囂爭吵。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kANI8LKnU
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hSeJarSxZ
世嬅睜開濕漉漉的眼，有點惘然地望向窗外，揚聲詢問：「誰在外頭呢？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjc7rf5g2m
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwfjb9I1cT
「回太子妃，奴婢在呢。」采風應了一聲，快步走了進來站到榻邊，與世嬅一同望向窗外，「采露出去查看了。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatmmbdDLQc
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqadQExwkO
宮中少有如此嘈吵的時候，就算傳言說「莫家軍」和李元勳的人馬在京師外對峙，雙方有過幾場交戰，那些刀劍交鋒的聲音亦從沒有傳到宮裡頭來。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb5mQeOZit
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqAl5QrXWV
世嬅緊抿著唇，腦袋在剎那之間清醒過來，伸手讓采風把自己扶了起來。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7VVjTts1I
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1qJEmy5eM
「替我更衣，要俐落一點方便走動的。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7hmD86wqx
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJAaMUSyca
「是。」采風應喏，隨即取來一套騎馬裝。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDWmuXBwVP
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakmSVtyzcF
世嬅瞄了一眼，又道：「這顏色太豔了，換套低調些的過來。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRvswqEHMg
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfViPcyTjtu
采風看了看手中翠綠色的衣裳，反應過來，改拿了一套淺灰色的騎馬裝給太子妃更衣。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol8Iw1YIhH
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzoItMKIcf
「側妃和小郡主呢？」世嬅續問道。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFV2Bo0dGO
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYfNhHPcpX
「這時辰小郡主差不多該吃奶了，側妃理應不會離開南廂。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6g55E0k2J
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNFRSGqWaA
「那咱們就直接到南廂去吧。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XP70zHad4
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QEjX8inCm
采風答應著，手上的動作明顯加快。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPNTcZlnTB
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuNSOquwdF
外頭的吵鬧聲愈來愈近，也愈來愈響，當中夾雜著吆喝聲、馬踏聲，甚至是尖叫聲，一聲又一聲的敲在兩人心上，叫人膽顫心驚。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1yBDNoKpJ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtW0GOm7al
采風的手指頭不由自主地顫抖起來，好不容易才替太子妃綁好腰帶，披上厚實的外衣。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyX6ALbSK7
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvRhf7FAM8
她的手方垂下，世嬅已提步往外走去，「好了，快走吧。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsebfLnWd2t
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0yQgVongo
人才剛踏出寢殿，便見采露迎面小跑而來，口裡喊著：「太子妃！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXx9rODJGf
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72h3nmpqoJ
世嬅沒等采露繼續說下去，搶先反問：「東宮大門鎖好了嗎？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMpRVlhsT2
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFte8QuHY9n
采露連點了三下頭，邊跑邊答：「鎖好了！」來到世嬅身前深吸了口氣，喘著氣道：「侍衛守著東宮的正後門⋯⋯」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5odvFzHi0o
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz2tl8mpMS
「好。」世嬅說著，繼續走向南廂，「知道外頭發生甚麼事了嗎？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWMpzzdhzx
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzydAD65Z9
采露又再點頭，「聽說是有兵馬從高麒門闖進宮裡來了⋯⋯」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSyA9YdtHy
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXReTUpZ1d
「甚麼？」采風驚呼一聲，「誰的兵馬？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeYn1wq3X6
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt8R6NuySc
「我也不知道，只聽侍衛說那些人的打扮不似是順天人⋯⋯」采露扭頭看向世嬅，「太子妃，您說那些人會不會是從大宛來的？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSfxKiDpno
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Gj97daH8
世嬅雙唇抿得更緊，沒有答話。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi768U1wyfG
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYkpjwFETI
如果大宛打敗了殿下，確實有可能反攻順天。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjAWf0x0t9
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGZnkRSVPI
由她們得知太子出事至今已經三個多月了，足夠大宛軍隊殺到京城這邊來。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTHivrlQSl
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDEXatO2xw
但京城之外是李元勳的兵馬，無論他們在上演甚麼戲碼，眼見大宛軍兵臨城下亦不可能袖手旁觀，任其闖進宮裡來吧？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vOCjIR5HT
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBqjzDhrcc
更別提由大宛到京城這沿路的守軍和地方官又怎會壓下軍情不報給朝廷知道？而祈原若收到消息，更不可能甚麼也不做吧？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThUNvrHEMt
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrjM6NGBiW
難道，是凌祈原又在使甚麼計？是他勾結了大宛軍大開中門嗎？但他要的東西不就是她嗎⋯⋯把大宛軍帶到京城來，於其又有甚麼好處？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6DJx33l8x
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVXQf65YHk
須知道，這樣引狼入室並非兒戲之事，一不小心就會賠上整個順天朝。她不覺得祈原有需要，甚或會傻到做出這樣的決定。他要她，卻沒必要為此成為賣國的千古罪人。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjxAMYXdx6
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkc3uEojsr
更重要的是，那些兵馬想做甚麼？他們的目標是龍翔宮？是祈原？還是⋯⋯東宮？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtkCeGPfbQ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6ut9Mj6Sa
若那些人嘗試攻進東宮來，以東宮侍衛的數量和戰力又能擋上多久？458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck05t48uKN
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnNgy7Idie
世嬅心中一緊，腳下不禁加快，急步穿過竹林衝往南廂。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwRjXYTy1O
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGahobFjwVn
此時，又一道人影迎面跑來。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjBIKEi0av
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPE75tPZtZ
「奴婢參見太子妃！」是剛玉身邊的喜翠。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PG0NPz44s
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr05eQSyjQ
世嬅的臉色一沉，厲聲道：「妳怎麼跑出來了，側妃和小郡主呢？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEcZW4lAdi
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BzGDCl5Tg
「回太子妃，是側妃讓奴婢來找太子妃的。」喜翠說著就改變方向，跟在世嬅身後返回南廂，「側妃聽到外面的聲響，心中不安，就讓奴婢去請示太子妃⋯⋯太子妃，外頭是出事了嗎？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDADg7ZTzxM
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELwgdHfx0i
但見世嬅一臉凝重，完全沒有開口回答的意思，喜翠只得扭頭看向同樣臉色蒼白的采風采露。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ybm27SRJ
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Jh2fQ9Yo
采露的視線也在采風身上，只見後者略一遲疑，還是點了點頭。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7X8XrbBTS
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMsTdNQbC0
喜翠跟著臉色剎白，身子不由得打了個寒顫。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYzOlVpB7z
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL9uySM3WV
還真是給她家主子料著了，那些是兵馬的聲音。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmytBAb4LPe
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7chXJsMQCo
「太子妃，」喜翠咽了一下口水，搶先一步走到世嬅身前帶路，「您這邊請。」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jXtCwnI7f
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxBX5Qkcnr
當一行人走進南廂時，剛玉正在殿上來回踱步，見世嬅親自來了，也沒有再費時間行甚麼虛禮，衝上前便問：「外頭發生甚麼事了？」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHyTuGHrHk
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynlBeUxQYG
「不知是哪方人馬，攻進宮裡來了。」世嬅簡單直接的回答隨即在南廂引起一陣抽氣聲。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacpODLZX0b
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllQq0NcBfn
世嬅沒有多加理會，眼睛上下掃視著剛玉的打扮。和她一樣，剛玉早已換上輕便的騎馬服。世嬅略一點頭，便走到乳娘身邊察看昭昭的狀況。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SRAaO6Hgb
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuesjBQ2Kh
昭昭雙眼圓滾滾的，瞧見母親時立刻咿咿呀呀的叫了兩聲，就像在給她請安一樣。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaoZJ2wC90
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5RDDR6B8g
就算眼下的情形如此緊張，世嬅還是忍不住淺淺一笑，伸手把女兒接了過來。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDRcysW7US
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13srdcx5Td
「昭昭乖。」她把臉湊到昭昭頭上，深深吸了口氣。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTvdClbxIv
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUhbWSGzbH
昭昭的身上滿是奶香味兒，莫名奇妙地給了她一種踏實的感覺。無論發生了甚麼事，無論是誰闖進了宮裡也好，她要做的就只有一件事——護好這小小的娃兒。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0ZJQUldjj
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstd6blNwe9
既然清楚自己要做的是甚麼，其他事兒都不再是事兒。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt86AyGbol
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKMSWzR9a1
只要昭昭好好的，就這麼簡單。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTHAPELazc
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqTkJEuhZi
「太子妃？」剛玉靠到世嬅身邊，略帶焦急地喚了聲。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAcoTwuVOU
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd1NDYQTFu
世嬅抬起頭來看向剛玉，還未及開口，一個小太監又大叫大嚷著跑了進來：「太子妃、側妃，不好了！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAjqyL3kb8
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KN7WCJm8X
殿上的人不約而同地扭過頭去，盯著那滿頭大汗的小太監。458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ROVVFD3AV
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohdNKvOTaG
「前頭的侍衛大人讓小的來報，那些人在正門外聚集，看來、看來是想要闖入東宮！」458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB2EZFIAL6
458Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89W5tJBYP1
