正文 61第六十一章 祸起
话说萧氏闻得静安园中的秘密已毁,所惊非轻。她立了半日，终是怔怔地坐了下去，半晌道：“不想算计了一辈子，临到老却是被<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">算计了去。”
田嬷嬷落泪道：“早便劝您弃了那盘螭洞去，又岂会有今日之事？”
萧氏一笑，“洞中之物久未有生<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">活血滋养，想那苏辛也必讨不得好去，施计谋划之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">也算做得一件好事。”
田嬷嬷闻言更叹，“都这时候儿了,您还故作轻松……”
萧氏闭了闭眼睛,仰靠<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">软椅中，椅上搭的锦绣牡丹富贵荣华。她道：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">竟也有走眼的时候儿，错看了雪泊,更错看了她背后的主子。”
田嬷嬷唯有叹息，“如今可怎么好？”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">去把子雅叫来，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">要看看她。”萧氏面上依旧如常，只是那沉静的面色已是像夕阳下粼粼的波光，似乎一阵风来，便要碎满池塘。“是为了她好，现今却怕是要连累她了。”
田嬷嬷恨道：“都是雪泊那小贱婢，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">一早儿便看她不对！连蓝漪半个手指头都及不上……”一顿，忙住了口。
萧氏笑得苦了几分，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">身边除了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">，竟半个知心的都没有了……”
田嬷嬷怔了怔，忙道：“王妃莫要乱想，还有子雅小姐呢，她定不会抛下王妃您的……”说着忽地有泪慢慢盈了眼眶，半晌方道：“让老奴去求求苏姑娘吧，或许……”
萧氏一愣，蓦地紧了下手中丝绢，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">说的是什么？<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">要去求谁？”吓得田嬷嬷立时没了声儿。萧妃徐徐坐直了身子，轻道：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">还未不济到那种不中用的地步。”
原来静安之园，乃萧氏嫁入府中便新建的园子，后来夫妻失和，萧氏终日醉心古术，延请各方得道高<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">来园中讲法授经。晋琮自觉愧对于她，也不去认真理会。萧氏便趁此暗暗建了那隐于假山之中的盘螭洞，日积月累，洞中毒物蔚为大观，正是晋琮与念儿双双辞世时节，府中旧<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">与李妈妈交好之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">多有失踪暴病者，皆因此处。
由此多年饲养毒物的经验及当初一径做出决定的勇气可见，萧氏实乃一个坚强大胆之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">。
十年之中，洞中毒物犹<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">，但真切知晓此洞之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">却已难寻，只剩下萧妃与二三心腹老将，年轻一辈是万万无从得知的了。所以当萧氏听说静安园遭火，苏辛从中得救的消息，便知那雪泊丫头不过是名死士，死得不是王府之难，也不是她萧氏之急，而是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">家背后主子的大计。
雪泊乃五年前殷盈探亲归来途中所买，推揉手艺甚好，每每使得萧氏身轻神软。
且说那厢晋蘅渐渐睡熟，呼吸平稳，一声一声打<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">苏辛耳中心里。
苏辛缓缓侧向他，看了半日，轻道：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">可睡熟了？”半日，无<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">回答。她将手搭<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">晋蘅腕上，只觉脉息缓健。她附耳过去，轻渺道：“现<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637"><img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">们来做个梦……梦见数日前……苏辛被春寒劫持，周围尽是银光闪闪的甲兵……”
晋蘅渐渐皱了眉头，额上渗出几滴汗，似要张口喊什么，猛地惊醒。
苏辛也是一惊，心里一顿，苦笑了一下，果然两次三番，他已不易着道。
晋蘅不知为何感觉像是被劫持了般，不由心生烦恶，看向苏辛，见她静静地坐<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">那里，像一盏将熄未熄的灯，立时慌了一下，坐起问道：“可是做了恶梦？”说着揽过她肩，细细瞧她脸。
苏辛摇了摇头，对他道：“今日可是要用<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">的命来脱罪？却又为何救了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">？”
晋蘅蹙眉半晌，虽是万不愿意，仍是道：“是石楚与红素救了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">。”
苏辛一怔，“嗯？”
晋蘅抱向她，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">已与母亲说明，她这算盘是错打了的。无论如何，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">定护<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">周全。”
苏辛抿出一个笑，“那<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">呢？”
“无妨。”
苏辛心道：“既是无妨，又何须做出此计？难道只是萧妃一己之谋，事先未与他商量？那如何他不说明白？”面上却道：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">的伤可好些了？”
晋蘅点头，听她又道：“为何冷了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">这几日？怨<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">惹事？”
晋蘅不悦，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">这几日又岂曾去看过<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">？”
一时相对无言。忽地，苏辛靠<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">晋蘅怀中，痴问道：“那张禾如何了？”
晋蘅不解，“好端端的，为何问起他？”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">只管答就是。”
晋蘅想了想，虽觉得奇怪，仍答道：“应是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">押解的路上吧。”
“当真？”
晋蘅一顿，微觉得有些蹊跷，一皱眉，心想：“她是如何得知？”转念再一想，既是已知道了，瞒也没用，不如早早坦白得好。他此时直把苏辛当个活菩萨供着。许是失而复得的惊喜，使他一时间觉得这世上再没比她更珍贵的宝贝，他甚至想时时将她揣<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">怀中，刻刻把玩于掌间。
毫无疑问，晋蘅觉得自己对苏辛好极了，且自来如此。他惊讶于这种<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">他看来毫无保留的好，似乎将整个自己都祭献了出去——从三魂七魄到肉体凡胎，从骄傲自尊到食色大欲。奇怪的是，他已不因此而感到恐慌，反倒有极大的欢喜，似乎被当作牺牲这件事本身便带着神秘和令<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">欢悦的崇高。
他觉得这种仿若原初混沌的祭献，不会再有第二次。
“前日听叶莱说，他<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">中途被一伙<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">劫走，尚未追踪到下落。”
苏辛真想笑。她说：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">不是曾说容不得他么？怎的后来只是判了流放？”
晋蘅眉头更紧，“不是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">……”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">若有心替<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">报仇，啊不，是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">若觉得他当真其罪当诛，又岂会为<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">一句权宜之话轻饶了他？更何况他还未理会<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">的宽贷，执意不肯招出幕后主使之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">。”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">不过瞧他是条汉子，有些骨气……”
“骨气便比<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">的清白更重要？”苏辛偏偏咄咄逼<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">，连话都不让<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">家说完。
晋蘅一叹，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">定将他抓回来任<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">处置便是。”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">倒是惯会承诺保证。从相识到如今<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">可算算，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">应承了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">多少遭儿了？有哪一个是办成的？”说着斜嘴儿一笑，“难怪当初还答应照顾别<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">一辈子，为着<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">这重诺的性子，怎不速速去寻了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">家去？”
晋蘅越听心里越发堵，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">好生歇着，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">明日朝议还须请罪述职，先去准备准备表折。”说着便起身。
苏辛到底心里放不下，拉住他一片衣角，却不看他，“当真无碍？”
晋蘅将脸凑过去轻吻了她一下，轻笑道：“自然。<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">将功折罪，尽早剿灭了一干贼党便是。”
“剿灭？”苏辛不禁一怔。
晋蘅不悦，“自是要剿灭的，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">还舍不得了不成？”
“那春寒又不是什么恶<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">，那些日里全赖他省出口粮来才让<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">免于……”
晋蘅一摆手打断苏辛，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">清楚得很。但此类小恩小惠岂能与天下安危相提并论？更何况……”苏辛瞧他，他瞪了苏辛一眼，“他不过是为私情才相助于<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">，算何……”
苏辛白了他一眼，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">怎么不干脆说‘奸/情’？<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">与他之间<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">是不会明白的。”
晋蘅努力克制，但他没克制住，起身冷道：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">是怪<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">阻了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">二<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">双宿双飞？”
苏辛一“哼”，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">为何偏就那一日赶到救了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">？岂不是太‘巧’了？自将<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">贬为奴后，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">何时去瞧过<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">过得怎样？<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">本不怨<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">。但<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">为利用<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">设计春寒，编出那场好戏，可念及<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">彼时彼刻真切无助的惶惧和绝望？”
晋蘅怒火陡盛，她竟怀疑张禾是他安排的？！他有一种捧出自己的心让<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">践踏的屈辱和不甘。他转身便走。他那日去找她是因对墨莲的欺骗感到失落与无力，不自觉便走到了她的门外。
他当时还想，既然墨莲如此高深，那苏辛所言刺客之事也不见得就是假的，大概真是冤枉了她，心里只觉歉疚。更何况，那时，他尚未明了府外之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">意<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">春寒，又岂会存了利用她之心？便是已然知晓，护着她还来不及，又怎会舍得让她涉险？可见当日冒死救她之心全是白费了。
别说是她，便是旁<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">，晋蘅也断不会为引贼入瓮连根拔起而引为诱饵。他向来骄傲，若是知道了线索，便疾速进击、直捣黄龙，岂屑于机心密构、毒计阴谋？
晋蘅暗叹，她还是不了解他，如此猜忌，着实令他心中难平。但他什么都不说地走出来，只能让苏辛更加肯定。<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">一旦开始怀疑，便只有“怀疑”本身是确定无疑的。
<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">苏辛看来，能狠狠打她一鞭子面不改色的<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">，必是已对她无情，而那之后又偏偏频频示好，不是他想起了往昔，而是他有了目的。
田嬷嬷落泪道：“早便劝您弃了那盘螭洞去，又岂会有今日之事？”
萧氏一笑，“洞中之物久未有生<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">活血滋养，想那苏辛也必讨不得好去，施计谋划之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">也算做得一件好事。”
田嬷嬷闻言更叹，“都这时候儿了,您还故作轻松……”
萧氏闭了闭眼睛,仰靠<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">软椅中，椅上搭的锦绣牡丹富贵荣华。她道：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">竟也有走眼的时候儿，错看了雪泊,更错看了她背后的主子。”
田嬷嬷唯有叹息，“如今可怎么好？”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">去把子雅叫来，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">要看看她。”萧氏面上依旧如常，只是那沉静的面色已是像夕阳下粼粼的波光，似乎一阵风来，便要碎满池塘。“是为了她好，现今却怕是要连累她了。”
田嬷嬷恨道：“都是雪泊那小贱婢，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">一早儿便看她不对！连蓝漪半个手指头都及不上……”一顿，忙住了口。
萧氏笑得苦了几分，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">身边除了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">，竟半个知心的都没有了……”
田嬷嬷怔了怔，忙道：“王妃莫要乱想，还有子雅小姐呢，她定不会抛下王妃您的……”说着忽地有泪慢慢盈了眼眶，半晌方道：“让老奴去求求苏姑娘吧，或许……”
萧氏一愣，蓦地紧了下手中丝绢，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">说的是什么？<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">要去求谁？”吓得田嬷嬷立时没了声儿。萧妃徐徐坐直了身子，轻道：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">还未不济到那种不中用的地步。”
原来静安之园，乃萧氏嫁入府中便新建的园子，后来夫妻失和，萧氏终日醉心古术，延请各方得道高<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">来园中讲法授经。晋琮自觉愧对于她，也不去认真理会。萧氏便趁此暗暗建了那隐于假山之中的盘螭洞，日积月累，洞中毒物蔚为大观，正是晋琮与念儿双双辞世时节，府中旧<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">与李妈妈交好之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">多有失踪暴病者，皆因此处。
由此多年饲养毒物的经验及当初一径做出决定的勇气可见，萧氏实乃一个坚强大胆之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">。
十年之中，洞中毒物犹<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">，但真切知晓此洞之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">却已难寻，只剩下萧妃与二三心腹老将，年轻一辈是万万无从得知的了。所以当萧氏听说静安园遭火，苏辛从中得救的消息，便知那雪泊丫头不过是名死士，死得不是王府之难，也不是她萧氏之急，而是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">家背后主子的大计。
雪泊乃五年前殷盈探亲归来途中所买，推揉手艺甚好，每每使得萧氏身轻神软。
且说那厢晋蘅渐渐睡熟，呼吸平稳，一声一声打<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">苏辛耳中心里。
苏辛缓缓侧向他，看了半日，轻道：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">可睡熟了？”半日，无<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">回答。她将手搭<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">晋蘅腕上，只觉脉息缓健。她附耳过去，轻渺道：“现<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637"><img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">们来做个梦……梦见数日前……苏辛被春寒劫持，周围尽是银光闪闪的甲兵……”
晋蘅渐渐皱了眉头，额上渗出几滴汗，似要张口喊什么，猛地惊醒。
苏辛也是一惊，心里一顿，苦笑了一下，果然两次三番，他已不易着道。
晋蘅不知为何感觉像是被劫持了般，不由心生烦恶，看向苏辛，见她静静地坐<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">那里，像一盏将熄未熄的灯，立时慌了一下，坐起问道：“可是做了恶梦？”说着揽过她肩，细细瞧她脸。
苏辛摇了摇头，对他道：“今日可是要用<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">的命来脱罪？却又为何救了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">？”
晋蘅蹙眉半晌，虽是万不愿意，仍是道：“是石楚与红素救了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">。”
苏辛一怔，“嗯？”
晋蘅抱向她，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">已与母亲说明，她这算盘是错打了的。无论如何，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">定护<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">周全。”
苏辛抿出一个笑，“那<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">呢？”
“无妨。”
苏辛心道：“既是无妨，又何须做出此计？难道只是萧妃一己之谋，事先未与他商量？那如何他不说明白？”面上却道：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">的伤可好些了？”
晋蘅点头，听她又道：“为何冷了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">这几日？怨<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">惹事？”
晋蘅不悦，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">这几日又岂曾去看过<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">？”
一时相对无言。忽地，苏辛靠<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">晋蘅怀中，痴问道：“那张禾如何了？”
晋蘅不解，“好端端的，为何问起他？”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">只管答就是。”
晋蘅想了想，虽觉得奇怪，仍答道：“应是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">押解的路上吧。”
“当真？”
晋蘅一顿，微觉得有些蹊跷，一皱眉，心想：“她是如何得知？”转念再一想，既是已知道了，瞒也没用，不如早早坦白得好。他此时直把苏辛当个活菩萨供着。许是失而复得的惊喜，使他一时间觉得这世上再没比她更珍贵的宝贝，他甚至想时时将她揣<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">怀中，刻刻把玩于掌间。
毫无疑问，晋蘅觉得自己对苏辛好极了，且自来如此。他惊讶于这种<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">他看来毫无保留的好，似乎将整个自己都祭献了出去——从三魂七魄到肉体凡胎，从骄傲自尊到食色大欲。奇怪的是，他已不因此而感到恐慌，反倒有极大的欢喜，似乎被当作牺牲这件事本身便带着神秘和令<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">欢悦的崇高。
他觉得这种仿若原初混沌的祭献，不会再有第二次。
“前日听叶莱说，他<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">中途被一伙<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">劫走，尚未追踪到下落。”
苏辛真想笑。她说：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">不是曾说容不得他么？怎的后来只是判了流放？”
晋蘅眉头更紧，“不是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">……”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">若有心替<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">报仇，啊不，是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">若觉得他当真其罪当诛，又岂会为<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">一句权宜之话轻饶了他？更何况他还未理会<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">的宽贷，执意不肯招出幕后主使之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">。”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">不过瞧他是条汉子，有些骨气……”
“骨气便比<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">的清白更重要？”苏辛偏偏咄咄逼<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">，连话都不让<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">家说完。
晋蘅一叹，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">定将他抓回来任<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">处置便是。”
“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">倒是惯会承诺保证。从相识到如今<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">可算算，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">应承了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">多少遭儿了？有哪一个是办成的？”说着斜嘴儿一笑，“难怪当初还答应照顾别<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">一辈子，为着<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">这重诺的性子，怎不速速去寻了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">家去？”
晋蘅越听心里越发堵，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">好生歇着，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">明日朝议还须请罪述职，先去准备准备表折。”说着便起身。
苏辛到底心里放不下，拉住他一片衣角，却不看他，“当真无碍？”
晋蘅将脸凑过去轻吻了她一下，轻笑道：“自然。<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">将功折罪，尽早剿灭了一干贼党便是。”
“剿灭？”苏辛不禁一怔。
晋蘅不悦，“自是要剿灭的，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">还舍不得了不成？”
“那春寒又不是什么恶<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">，那些日里全赖他省出口粮来才让<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">免于……”
晋蘅一摆手打断苏辛，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">清楚得很。但此类小恩小惠岂能与天下安危相提并论？更何况……”苏辛瞧他，他瞪了苏辛一眼，“他不过是为私情才相助于<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">，算何……”
苏辛白了他一眼，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">怎么不干脆说‘奸/情’？<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">与他之间<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">是不会明白的。”
晋蘅努力克制，但他没克制住，起身冷道：“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">是怪<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">阻了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">二<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">双宿双飞？”
苏辛一“哼”，“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">为何偏就那一日赶到救了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">？岂不是太‘巧’了？自将<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">贬为奴后，<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">何时去瞧过<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">过得怎样？<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">本不怨<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">。但<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">为利用<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">设计春寒，编出那场好戏，可念及<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">彼时彼刻真切无助的惶惧和绝望？”
晋蘅怒火陡盛，她竟怀疑张禾是他安排的？！他有一种捧出自己的心让<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">践踏的屈辱和不甘。他转身便走。他那日去找她是因对墨莲的欺骗感到失落与无力，不自觉便走到了她的门外。
他当时还想，既然墨莲如此高深，那苏辛所言刺客之事也不见得就是假的，大概真是冤枉了她，心里只觉歉疚。更何况，那时，他尚未明了府外之<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">意<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">春寒，又岂会存了利用她之心？便是已然知晓，护着她还来不及，又怎会舍得让她涉险？可见当日冒死救她之心全是白费了。
别说是她，便是旁<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">，晋蘅也断不会为引贼入瓮连根拔起而引为诱饵。他向来骄傲，若是知道了线索，便疾速进击、直捣黄龙，岂屑于机心密构、毒计阴谋？
晋蘅暗叹，她还是不了解他，如此猜忌，着实令他心中难平。但他什么都不说地走出来，只能让苏辛更加肯定。<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">一旦开始怀疑，便只有“怀疑”本身是确定无疑的。
<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">苏辛看来，能狠狠打她一鞭子面不改色的<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">，必是已对她无情，而那之后又偏偏频频示好，不是他想起了往昔，而是他有了目的。
