離開西殿以後，世嬅沒有遇到任何人事，暢通無阻的去到大門，登上銅輦，久違的出了東宮。
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnkOcy4qgn
下輦時，天空早已黑透。她抬頭，只見夜空中密雲滿佈，不見星月，是個特別黑的晚上。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYXF93JZCa
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIVzlDoCmj
前面有領路的小太監提著燈在走，采風采露一左一右的在旁貼身攙扶，不時提醒世嬅留意腳下。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9qhp1r4wP
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuWOoj6EFR
如今她的身子沉了，走得不快，只慢吞吞的，像是踱步似的從貴和宮門走往正殿。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaejDF5pNSH
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6l2Ogdr0k
貴和宮中燈已亮，卻不知怎的，不似往常那樣把宮殿照得猶如白晝，好像有誰怕驚擾了宮中積存的鬼魂，而刻意拒讓燈火明亮。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthGvPWfk2x
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JWnC9q9Tj
不讓生人嚇著了鬼。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpDNIRSw5R
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL0xzirGxq
小太監手中的燈，便成了沿路最明亮的一盞，就是這一點光，領著她們走入那更更昏暗之處。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF3BtwApDF
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzHVwfm1oz
這並不尋常。貴和宮配備的人手比東宮還要多上不少，平常總是每三步懸掛一盞宮燈，每十步立了個年輕的太監在值班，世嬅並不記得自己曾經見過這樣冷清無人的貴和宮。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMlQfLdLnR
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECXAK7S6k8
她從東宮帶來的太監宮娥，全像是走入了禁地般緊閉著嘴，連呼吸聲也壓得極輕。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxuIAHEVRV
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSwJfdob5Q
不是說若有天災禍世，飛鳥走獸總是能率先察覺異狀，作出反應嗎？她瞧這些太監宮娥在宮中當差久了，都成了能預測禍事的飛鳥走獸。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4tpHUpigi
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW7aXKAwjU
「太子妃，這情形怕是有點不妥吧？」采風環視四周，靠在世嬅耳邊輕語：「要不，咱們還是先回東宮吧？待稟明了殿下，明日天亮了再來請安。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOPkUmu0H6
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpStHRLqMbG
先回東宮？729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gH7SzXREX
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DZpnaYphb
世嬅看著這沒燈沒火的貴和宮，低喃一句：「怕是遲了。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbtnLGnyrn
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5WB03gX0Y
姨母既特意讓相蘇於太子不在之時找上門來，把她召到貴和宮，現在又怎會讓其就這樣轉身離開？729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQg812Pirm
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmHsx36cS2
果不其然，采風還沒來得及回答，便聽到一聲叫喚從旁邊昏暗的小路傳來：「太子妃，您總算到了。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbX21qiUsw
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XqzMrkZbQ
小太監忙把宮燈舉起照向前，但見相蘇笑意盈盈的，帶著兩個健碩的太監，快步走了過來，朝世嬅俐落地行禮請安。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zqR0hOjG9
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RNG9c1Aq0
「相蘇姑姑，這麼黑的晚上，妳怎麼不拿盞燈呢？」世嬅回以一笑，手一擺便讓相蘇起來。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHKQ5SXJYd
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qGGDdclY1
「奴婢在貴和宮當差這麼多年了，這宮中的路閉著眼也認得，有燈沒燈皆是一樣的。」相蘇說著，順勢就靠了過來，挽起世嬅的左手，把采露擠到一旁去。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1qr8wHxw6
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOErSIwYd8
「太子妃快請進正殿去吧，娘娘等您很久了。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz7RuGExIj
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6BUk0ieZD
世嬅沒有推開相蘇，也沒有加快腳步，只淺笑著開口詢問：「有勞相蘇姑姑了。不知娘娘突然傳召，可是發生了甚麼事？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqNzRwKtS4
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7OVwLlQgd
「哪有甚麼事呢，娘娘不過是太久沒見您，想您了。」相蘇嘻嘻笑了兩聲，「我家娘娘這段日子以來，天天都叨唸著您呢，今晚總算把您盼來了。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xxTGD2juN
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG6Le3bDyX
天天叨唸？竟然叨唸了整整三個月才想到要召她過來？說的可是她那殺伐果斷的姨母？729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEpavAp02h
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMKQWomvW5
世嬅輕嘆了口氣，「原來如此，那就是我的不對了，過了這麼久才來給娘娘請安。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9gENCpAvH
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GdvBqc8rp
「太子妃不用介懷，現在來了不就好了嗎？」相蘇淺淺一笑，攙著世嬅便把人繼續往正殿帶去。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXCPKIcYtr
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo51cxCPX8
正殿內外的燈倒是點亮了，在黑暗中遠遠的就能看到，像一條張開了血盆大口的巨蛇，伏在那兒等待她們一步接一步的走近。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FH07IPykl
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuQFzhvCAs
世嬅吃力地登上階梯，跨進殿內，便見程惜芙高坐在主位之上，甚麼也沒做，只媚眼含笑的，垂頭瞅著她。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G8PLae5L9
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkrFdp15dZ
這景象，竟給人一種毛骨悚然之感。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59cJ3U5wV1
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBXPYdz1US
世嬅鬆開采風和相蘇，自個兒踏前兩步，朝程貴妃行了個標準的宮禮，笑道：「參見皇貴妃娘娘，讓您久等了。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSJphpu1mi
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEAY8IymTe
「客套話甭說了，」程貴妃還在笑，輕甩了甩袖，「妳先坐吧，別站著了。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm78gVknUS
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ50uuPmrG
世嬅謝了恩，便握著采風的手，走到旁邊的位置坐下。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoFlqFtyO8
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDhRc6jfCY
人甫坐定，貴和宮的宮娥便捧著精緻的菜餚，一道接一道的送到她席前。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRusR8H8JVt
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilcx7Jqi5Y
「本宮也餓了，太子妃還沒用饍吧？陪本宮用些可好？」嗓子輕柔，像在詢問。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhKoQ2iy9z
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrxre2gC8a
世嬅沒有回答，瞧著宮娥訓練有素的上菜。直至最後，當相蘇親自捧了一盅湯品過來後，她才抬頭，看向程貴妃。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2umjdxpC7v
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsxqq2HMkD
「娘娘，這是？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnWPYqUfQg
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6JeSviKQW
「這盅烏雞湯是本宮讓御廚房準備的，文火熬了好幾個時辰了，既滋補又不怕上火，最是適合懷胎的婦人吃來補身子。」程貴妃含著笑，柔聲道：「妳就算吃不下其他東西，也得把這盅烏雞湯喝了，知道嗎？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6xAcMpgrB
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsrlOpzqdA
「嬅兒知道了，謝娘娘一番心意。」嬅兒笑著回答，卻沒動手，只給了采露一個眼神，讓她把雞湯舀到湯碗中放涼。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkDevuGRC5
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CHcgjWETS
「其實啊，女子懷胎生子從來就不是件易事。」程貴妃的視線落在世嬅的小腹上，突然深深嘆了口氣，「妳可得小心照顧自個兒。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26QHJlpJt0
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDnVlkgipw
「娘娘何出此言？」世嬅反射性的撫上小腹，微瞇著眼問道。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaaHfoXXWG
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPBH5thlbF
她這個姨母，從不做不必要的事，說不必要的話，今晚把她單獨叫來，斷不可能只是為了要餵她喝雞湯，補身子。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5EtpaIfWw
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqioARIlmH
「太子妃可記得欣兒之前跟妳提過，敏兒也有喜了？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLedwThZiK
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2YqNzSfW3
世嬅點頭，「當然記得。嬅兒還記得娘娘說過敏兒的日子比我早些，大概會在今年初秋臨盤。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfsS3EvQ2B
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0sM135c0w
「嗯，確實⋯⋯」程貴妃一頓，突然眼眶泛紅，竟像是要落淚似的，拿起隨身的絲帕輕壓了壓眼角，聲顫顫的續道：「昨兒個大宛突然捎來消息，說敏兒的孩子沒了⋯⋯是個已成形的男娃兒。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu2tmeJKLr
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCEMILAEwh
世嬅的心一沉再沉。她在心中設想過各種情形，就沒想到竟是敏弦出事了，無法思考，只聽到自己急聲問道：「怎麼會這樣？敏兒現在如何？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhInevJVL9
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4xF2KDwui
「這是敏兒和延留大王子的頭胎，是大宛王的長孫，她又怎會不傷心呢？聽說哭得暈過去好幾次，飯也吃不了，整個人生生瘦了兩圈。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n6seYxmni
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR8qSXMrEG
程貴妃又抽泣了聲，深深嘆了口氣，「本宮只恨自己不在她身邊，連想親自給她餵口湯水也做不到。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxOGdXUMb5
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CkDbLwauu
采露把舀好的雞湯擱到世嬅面前， 退至後頭站好。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXNXt1ekxM
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrk8KwY9ve
世嬅沒有理會采露，再次追問：「娘娘可知發生甚麼事了？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk2lyk9N3z
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIbjepyze3
程貴妃停下拭淚的動作，為難的瞄了瞄世嬅身後的宮娥。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpJJ0XTVxL
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzVsACSRVy
世嬅明白她的意思，遲疑了一下，還是開口下令：「采風，妳們都出去吧。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGW0vrrGtz
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ2yALy4G7
「可是，太子妃⋯⋯」采風采露自是不願意，上次她們讓太子妃單獨跟程貴妃去青逸閣後，發生了那麼些事兒，殿下震怒不已，把兩人重重罰了。現在如若再來一次，太子妃又出了甚麼狀況的話，殿下定會把她們攆出東宮的。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qCfcj8ftv
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqkDaxGAWC
然而，世嬅並沒有搭理她們，只重複了一遍：「都出去候著吧。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn53mKX5CA
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MhvUN6pcA
就算她們再不願，也不敢當著程貴妃的面忤逆世嬅，只得心不甘情不願的應了聲，帶著東宮的人，一步三回頭的退了出去。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtmlRYeDwK
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6OZKaftUV
然後，不待程貴妃下令，相蘇也帶著貴和宮的宮娥太監，靜靜地消失在殿門後，給了兩人獨處的機會。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx4oNUTaXs
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGHSDx36qT
待正殿完全清空了後，世嬅抬首，顫聲再問，「娘娘現在可放寬心說話了吧？」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2ZVrRA7ke
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloE4892ac6
而那高高在上的女人，卻在一瞬間把所有情緒收斂了起來，漠然地坐在那裡，注視著她。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMS6r5ASon
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DClU6btby
光與影同時出現在程惜芙那張漂亮的臉孔上，氣氛再次變得很詭異。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZKJRrNLEA
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAHAGiyrmx
良久之後，直到世嬅面前的雞湯都不再冒煙了，程惜芙方幽幽開口，道：「嬅兒，妳可知道延留大王子的二弟和三弟早在前年與匈奴的戰事中身亡，大宛王才剛立了他為儲君。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZQ8cszdbo
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD0lKRLK7k
方才的悲痛欲絕早已蕩然無存，程惜芙神色凝重，嚴肅的道：「也就是說，敏兒的兒子本該是大宛王位再下一任的繼承人。」729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTnAogdt8S
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Oh0PWP8WK
「娘娘⋯⋯嬅兒這三個月來寸步不出東宮，確實沒聽說過這事兒。」世嬅撫著小腹，不知在害怕或心虛甚麼似的，聲音愈說愈輕。729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Fo6UD1by
729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fuPqFiRJ8
「敏兒的孩子，不是意外沒了的。是有人，不想讓她生下大宛的繼承人。」程貴妃目不轉睛的盯著世嬅，逐字逐句的問道：「妳覺得，那人會是誰呢？」
