正文 95第九十五本经
荀香也是一眼就看到了徐又菱。穿着太子妃的华服,金钗珠翠,脸上却没有想象中的志得意满,反而有些愁苦。虽然如愿当上了太子妃,可似乎看起来也没有得偿所愿的高兴?
荀香跳下马,站<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">马旁,静静与徐又菱对视。她以为自己会恨,恨这个女<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">夺走自己的一切,还占了自己的位置。但如今这样的光景,恨,竟然如此地微不足道。
淳于翌掀开马车的帘子,顺喜和绿珠一起扶他下来。他身体还很虚弱,好像又多了几根白发。
徐又菱从荀香身旁走过,惊叫道,“殿下,您怎么了?”
淳于翌淡淡地说,“没事。”
“萧大<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">和徐大<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">知道您今天回来,已经<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">承乾宫等着了。”
“嗯。”
荀香听着这不冷不热的对话,似乎明白徐又菱没有很高兴的原因了。纵使得到了那个梦寐以求的位置,自己的夫君却对自己冷淡得如同陌生<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">一样。如此,那手握权力的快感不仅会锐减,反而会变成一种讽刺吧?
说她是自作自受也好,说她是自食恶果也好,可恨之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">必有可怜之处。
顺喜和绿珠把淳于翌扶进东宫,荀香跟<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">后头,侧眼看到巧莲。巧莲本已吓得脸色苍白,接触到荀香的目光,双腿更是一软。荀香冲她笑了笑,意味深长地说,“别来无恙?托<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">的福,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">过得很好。”
荀香进去了以后,巧莲拉着徐又菱的手,害怕得双手都<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">颤抖,“小姐,她回来报仇了,她一定会跟<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">们算账的!”
“怕什么!当初<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">能让她从东宫滚出去,现<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">她也就威胁不到<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">!<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">才是太子妃!”
“可是……可是……”巧莲捂着脸,“奴婢好怕她的目光,深不见底。她的表情也好可怕。她跟四年前完全不一样了,小姐!”
徐又菱怒斥道,“再不一样,也不过是一个皇榜公布过的死<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">!只要<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">是太子妃一天,她就要对<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">俯首称臣!拿出点骨气来,白教了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">这么多年!”说着,便拂袖进了东宫。巧莲一边平复呼吸,一边把手心的汗擦掉。小姐说得对,一个已经<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">皇室宗谱里面除名的<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">,没有什么好怕的!
萧沐昀和徐仲宣<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">承乾宫等了一天,正打算出宫回府,远远看见淳于翌被<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">扶着走上石阶。
他们连忙迎出去,向淳于翌行礼,萧沐昀关心地问,“殿下,您这是怎么了?”
淳于翌看向身后,高兴地说,“沐昀,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">看看谁回来了!”
萧沐昀顺着他的目光看过去,见夕阳余晖中立着一个<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">,正冲自己微笑。那张脸,有经过风霜洗礼之后的成熟,眼眸较之四年之前更为坚定明亮。他“啊”了一声,冲过去停<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">荀香的面前,抬起手又握成拳收回来,踟蹰了一下,还是紧紧地抱住了荀香。
“表哥,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">回来了。”
萧沐昀不知怎么回答,双眼湿润,只是用手不停地拍着荀香的后脑勺。他曾经恨自己无能为力,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">荀家落难的时候,只能听从姨母的建议,尽力保住自己和萧家。他虽然把姨娘的尸骨带回了凤都,偷偷地与姨父的衣冠冢葬<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">一起,但荀香却彻底失去了音讯。
他曾答应过她,若是她有需要,他一定会尽力相帮。是他违背了诺言,违背了儿时的约定。他是个不称职的表哥。
“笛子仙,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">身上的味道真是几十年如一日啊。”荀香虽然流着泪,但也不忘打趣。爹娘都死了,左叔又离开了,这世上的亲<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">,只剩下表哥和姨娘两个。
“香儿……对不起……但太好了……<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">没事,真是太好了……”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">过得很好。听说<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">当爹了,恭喜<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">。”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">的孩儿<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">等姑姑给他买长命锁,梳头发,一直等着。”
“好,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">过两天就给他买,买一个大大的,一定能让他长命百岁。”
两个<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">抱<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">一起,哭成一团,居然还能好好地聊天,旁边的<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">见了,真是哭笑不得。淳于翌低声问徐仲宣,“战事如何了?”
徐仲宣回过神来,禀报道,“已经打到越州府了,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">皖亭山一带驻扎。兵力已经达到了十五万。”
“这么多?”淳于翌皱起眉头,“凤都有多少兵力?”
“禁军总共两万五千<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">。”
淳于翌摇了摇头,扶着顺喜往宫内走,“差太多了。<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">爹还是不肯把近畿军的兵权交出来吗?”
“臣跟父亲谈了两次,父亲说一定要等太子回来再谈。”
淳于翌嘲讽道,“国难当头,真亏他还有心情跟<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">谈条件。幸好<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">跟奕宸出淤泥而不染,可堪重用。”
徐仲宣的脸上一阵红一阵白,也不好为徐望山辩解什么。
荀香和萧沐昀从门外进来,看到徐仲宣尴尬地站<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">一旁,不知道发生了何事。荀香问淳于翌,“战况如何?”
“已经到了越州。”
“再往下,就是近畿军营驻扎的地方了吧?”
“嗯。炎氏手上有十五万大军,就算近畿军营肯听令,也不过八万<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">之众,对方两倍于<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">,十分不利。更何况现<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">近畿军营兵权<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">徐望山手中,他迟迟不下达命令,让大军备战,到时候被打个措手不及,恐怕损失惨重。”
荀香又问,“月山军为什么不能调回来支援?”
殿上安静了一下,众<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">都用不可思议地目光看着她。她不觉有异,问道,“有什么问题吗?”
萧沐昀答道,“月山军是大佑北边的屏障,一旦离开鹰城,大梁皇帝肯定挥师南下。到时候<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">们腹背受敌,更是一场劫难。”
“如果能说服他不<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">内乱平息前出兵呢?”
徐仲宣否定,“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">们没有能够与萧天蕴交换的条件。除非……”他看着荀香,没把后面的话说出来。估计说出来,太子殿下会把他痛骂一顿。
荀香其实也知道,这筹码无非就是自己。如果自己肯跟萧天蕴回大梁,也许不止是上面那个条件,别的条件他说不定也会答应。但是……荀香偷偷看了一眼正<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">查看地图的淳于翌,她是无论如何也不回再回大梁了。
“仲宣,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">为何不把话说完?”淳于翌头也不抬地问。
“臣不敢。”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">知道<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">想说什么。但用不到那个条件。只要萧天蕴来凤都,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">自然有别的方法,让他不插手<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">们大佑的内务。”
徐仲宣和萧沐昀异口同声地问,“什么办法?!”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">们暂时还不需要知道。”淳于翌收起地图,把顺喜叫来,“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">为……沙姑娘安排一下住的地方。”
顺喜犯了难,“敢问殿下,何处合适?瑶华宫已经被封了。”
“住<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">倾樱阁吧。”
殿上众<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">皆是一愣,荀香更是吃惊。传说中,那个东宫除了承乾宫之外,最好的宫殿吗?她<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">当太子妃的时候,都没有荣幸住进去。想不到时隔四年,居然以一个不相干的身份,住了进去。
“殿下,您说的是,倾樱阁?恐怕太子妃那边……”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">的决定,还轮不到她来指手画脚。<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">照做就是了。”
“是。”
顺喜带着荀香走出承乾宫,黄一全是石阶下面上来,看见荀香愣了一下,也顾不得许多,直冲入殿中,“殿下,皇上不好啦!”
“是死了么?”冷酷到极点的声音。
黄一全跪<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">殿上,“求您无论如何去看一眼吧!皇上好像有话要跟您说。”
淳于翌顿了一下,只淡淡地说,“黄一全,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">准备后事吧。<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">不会去的。”
黄一全抹着泪从宫中退出来,顺喜递了手帕过去,“师父,别难过了。太子和皇上的结,这辈子怕是解不了了。”
黄一全连连摇头叹气,却也不知道说什么。他正要离开,忽然听到身旁有<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">说,“黄总管不如带<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">去吧?”他愣住,看着荀香脸上没有温度的笑容,有一种毛骨悚然的感觉。
荀香笑着说,“将死之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">,没有<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">送终也怪可怜的,不如<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">替太子去送送他?”
黄一全本能地想要拒绝。他仍然还记得当时皇上是如何地放弃荀梦龙和驻守<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">敦煌的大军的。他也记得从皇上手中发下的圣旨,要把从敦煌来就京中求援的将士全部处死。荀家被抄,荀梦龙之妻死<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">流放的路上。荀香和皇上之间,是不共戴天的死仇啊。
“黄公公放心,皇上都要死了,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">绝对不会再做什么多余的事情。因为好歹曾经是一家<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">,不忍心见他太凄凉了。”
顺喜对着黄一全点了点头,黄一全这才答应,“好,请跟奴才来。”
太清宫还是太清宫,皇帝的寝宫。只不过这名义上的帝王之宫,现下只能用冷落寂寥来形容。夕日威风凛凛的皇帝,翻手为云覆手为雨,如今将死之时,只落得个无<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">问津的下场,何其讽刺。
荀香走上石阶,守宫门的禁军大都不认识她,不予放行。
黄一全说尽了好话,直到把淳于翌搬出来,禁军才算买账。
宫殿内极其幽暗,空气中混杂着一种长年的药味演变成的苦味。床上的<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">正<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">呻吟着,不知是因为痛苦,还是因为垂死挣扎。
黄一全到床边,把那个已经瘦成<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">干的皇帝扶起来,尽量高兴地说,“皇上,您看谁来了?”
淳于文越缓缓地移动目光,看到几步开外的<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">,瞳孔一下子收紧,手也抖了一下。
“父皇,您没想到儿臣还活着吧?”
作者有话要说:目测五章之内到底能不能完啊?擦。
荀香跳下马,站<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">马旁,静静与徐又菱对视。她以为自己会恨,恨这个女<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">夺走自己的一切,还占了自己的位置。但如今这样的光景,恨,竟然如此地微不足道。
淳于翌掀开马车的帘子,顺喜和绿珠一起扶他下来。他身体还很虚弱,好像又多了几根白发。
徐又菱从荀香身旁走过,惊叫道,“殿下,您怎么了?”
淳于翌淡淡地说,“没事。”
“萧大<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">和徐大<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">知道您今天回来,已经<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">承乾宫等着了。”
“嗯。”
荀香听着这不冷不热的对话,似乎明白徐又菱没有很高兴的原因了。纵使得到了那个梦寐以求的位置,自己的夫君却对自己冷淡得如同陌生<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">一样。如此,那手握权力的快感不仅会锐减,反而会变成一种讽刺吧?
说她是自作自受也好,说她是自食恶果也好,可恨之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">必有可怜之处。
顺喜和绿珠把淳于翌扶进东宫,荀香跟<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">后头,侧眼看到巧莲。巧莲本已吓得脸色苍白,接触到荀香的目光,双腿更是一软。荀香冲她笑了笑,意味深长地说,“别来无恙?托<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">的福,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">过得很好。”
荀香进去了以后,巧莲拉着徐又菱的手,害怕得双手都<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">颤抖,“小姐,她回来报仇了,她一定会跟<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">们算账的!”
“怕什么!当初<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">能让她从东宫滚出去,现<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">她也就威胁不到<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">!<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">才是太子妃!”
“可是……可是……”巧莲捂着脸,“奴婢好怕她的目光,深不见底。她的表情也好可怕。她跟四年前完全不一样了,小姐!”
徐又菱怒斥道,“再不一样,也不过是一个皇榜公布过的死<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">!只要<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">是太子妃一天,她就要对<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">俯首称臣!拿出点骨气来,白教了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">这么多年!”说着,便拂袖进了东宫。巧莲一边平复呼吸,一边把手心的汗擦掉。小姐说得对,一个已经<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">皇室宗谱里面除名的<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">,没有什么好怕的!
萧沐昀和徐仲宣<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">承乾宫等了一天,正打算出宫回府,远远看见淳于翌被<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">扶着走上石阶。
他们连忙迎出去,向淳于翌行礼,萧沐昀关心地问,“殿下,您这是怎么了?”
淳于翌看向身后,高兴地说,“沐昀,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">看看谁回来了!”
萧沐昀顺着他的目光看过去,见夕阳余晖中立着一个<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">,正冲自己微笑。那张脸,有经过风霜洗礼之后的成熟,眼眸较之四年之前更为坚定明亮。他“啊”了一声,冲过去停<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">荀香的面前,抬起手又握成拳收回来,踟蹰了一下,还是紧紧地抱住了荀香。
“表哥,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">回来了。”
萧沐昀不知怎么回答,双眼湿润,只是用手不停地拍着荀香的后脑勺。他曾经恨自己无能为力,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">荀家落难的时候,只能听从姨母的建议,尽力保住自己和萧家。他虽然把姨娘的尸骨带回了凤都,偷偷地与姨父的衣冠冢葬<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">一起,但荀香却彻底失去了音讯。
他曾答应过她,若是她有需要,他一定会尽力相帮。是他违背了诺言,违背了儿时的约定。他是个不称职的表哥。
“笛子仙,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">身上的味道真是几十年如一日啊。”荀香虽然流着泪,但也不忘打趣。爹娘都死了,左叔又离开了,这世上的亲<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">,只剩下表哥和姨娘两个。
“香儿……对不起……但太好了……<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">没事,真是太好了……”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">过得很好。听说<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">当爹了,恭喜<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">。”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">的孩儿<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">等姑姑给他买长命锁,梳头发,一直等着。”
“好,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">过两天就给他买,买一个大大的,一定能让他长命百岁。”
两个<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">抱<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">一起,哭成一团,居然还能好好地聊天,旁边的<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">见了,真是哭笑不得。淳于翌低声问徐仲宣,“战事如何了?”
徐仲宣回过神来,禀报道,“已经打到越州府了,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">皖亭山一带驻扎。兵力已经达到了十五万。”
“这么多?”淳于翌皱起眉头,“凤都有多少兵力?”
“禁军总共两万五千<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">。”
淳于翌摇了摇头,扶着顺喜往宫内走,“差太多了。<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">爹还是不肯把近畿军的兵权交出来吗?”
“臣跟父亲谈了两次,父亲说一定要等太子回来再谈。”
淳于翌嘲讽道,“国难当头,真亏他还有心情跟<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">谈条件。幸好<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">跟奕宸出淤泥而不染,可堪重用。”
徐仲宣的脸上一阵红一阵白,也不好为徐望山辩解什么。
荀香和萧沐昀从门外进来,看到徐仲宣尴尬地站<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">一旁,不知道发生了何事。荀香问淳于翌,“战况如何?”
“已经到了越州。”
“再往下,就是近畿军营驻扎的地方了吧?”
“嗯。炎氏手上有十五万大军,就算近畿军营肯听令,也不过八万<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">之众,对方两倍于<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">,十分不利。更何况现<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">近畿军营兵权<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">徐望山手中,他迟迟不下达命令,让大军备战,到时候被打个措手不及,恐怕损失惨重。”
荀香又问,“月山军为什么不能调回来支援?”
殿上安静了一下,众<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">都用不可思议地目光看着她。她不觉有异,问道,“有什么问题吗?”
萧沐昀答道,“月山军是大佑北边的屏障,一旦离开鹰城,大梁皇帝肯定挥师南下。到时候<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">们腹背受敌,更是一场劫难。”
“如果能说服他不<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">内乱平息前出兵呢?”
徐仲宣否定,“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">们没有能够与萧天蕴交换的条件。除非……”他看着荀香,没把后面的话说出来。估计说出来,太子殿下会把他痛骂一顿。
荀香其实也知道,这筹码无非就是自己。如果自己肯跟萧天蕴回大梁,也许不止是上面那个条件,别的条件他说不定也会答应。但是……荀香偷偷看了一眼正<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">查看地图的淳于翌,她是无论如何也不回再回大梁了。
“仲宣,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">为何不把话说完?”淳于翌头也不抬地问。
“臣不敢。”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">知道<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">想说什么。但用不到那个条件。只要萧天蕴来凤都,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">自然有别的方法,让他不插手<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">们大佑的内务。”
徐仲宣和萧沐昀异口同声地问,“什么办法?!”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">们暂时还不需要知道。”淳于翌收起地图,把顺喜叫来,“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">为……沙姑娘安排一下住的地方。”
顺喜犯了难,“敢问殿下,何处合适?瑶华宫已经被封了。”
“住<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">倾樱阁吧。”
殿上众<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">皆是一愣,荀香更是吃惊。传说中,那个东宫除了承乾宫之外,最好的宫殿吗?她<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">当太子妃的时候,都没有荣幸住进去。想不到时隔四年,居然以一个不相干的身份,住了进去。
“殿下,您说的是,倾樱阁?恐怕太子妃那边……”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">的决定,还轮不到她来指手画脚。<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">照做就是了。”
“是。”
顺喜带着荀香走出承乾宫,黄一全是石阶下面上来,看见荀香愣了一下,也顾不得许多,直冲入殿中,“殿下,皇上不好啦!”
“是死了么?”冷酷到极点的声音。
黄一全跪<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">殿上,“求您无论如何去看一眼吧!皇上好像有话要跟您说。”
淳于翌顿了一下,只淡淡地说,“黄一全,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">准备后事吧。<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">不会去的。”
黄一全抹着泪从宫中退出来,顺喜递了手帕过去,“师父,别难过了。太子和皇上的结,这辈子怕是解不了了。”
黄一全连连摇头叹气,却也不知道说什么。他正要离开,忽然听到身旁有<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">说,“黄总管不如带<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">去吧?”他愣住,看着荀香脸上没有温度的笑容,有一种毛骨悚然的感觉。
荀香笑着说,“将死之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">,没有<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">送终也怪可怜的,不如<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">替太子去送送他?”
黄一全本能地想要拒绝。他仍然还记得当时皇上是如何地放弃荀梦龙和驻守<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">敦煌的大军的。他也记得从皇上手中发下的圣旨,要把从敦煌来就京中求援的将士全部处死。荀家被抄,荀梦龙之妻死<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">流放的路上。荀香和皇上之间,是不共戴天的死仇啊。
“黄公公放心,皇上都要死了,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">绝对不会再做什么多余的事情。因为好歹曾经是一家<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">,不忍心见他太凄凉了。”
顺喜对着黄一全点了点头,黄一全这才答应,“好,请跟奴才来。”
太清宫还是太清宫,皇帝的寝宫。只不过这名义上的帝王之宫,现下只能用冷落寂寥来形容。夕日威风凛凛的皇帝,翻手为云覆手为雨,如今将死之时,只落得个无<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">问津的下场,何其讽刺。
荀香走上石阶,守宫门的禁军大都不认识她,不予放行。
黄一全说尽了好话,直到把淳于翌搬出来,禁军才算买账。
宫殿内极其幽暗,空气中混杂着一种长年的药味演变成的苦味。床上的<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">正<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">呻吟着,不知是因为痛苦,还是因为垂死挣扎。
黄一全到床边,把那个已经瘦成<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">干的皇帝扶起来,尽量高兴地说,“皇上,您看谁来了?”
淳于文越缓缓地移动目光,看到几步开外的<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.com7bf03d00e6">,瞳孔一下子收紧,手也抖了一下。
“父皇,您没想到儿臣还活着吧?”
作者有话要说:目测五章之内到底能不能完啊?擦。
