正文 113第一一三章 国宴
外间不知何时聚上来一队玉色小蚁,一线相续地爬过来,甚快甚整齐,正对着那血香暖玉,极为可爱。打头一个到了玉旁,贴着那玉吸了起来,身子越涨越大,且愈渐透出鲜艳的红色。待那玉色澄明,又复初时温润,先一头蚁停下吸吮,静了一晌,忽地身体涨到最大,然后渐渐缩小,而其体内血色一一往后面的小蚁传去,直至众蚁皆通体透红,又皆掉转头快速地往回爬去。
不一时,一个黑色绣服锦衣侍卫悄无声息地来到萧子雅窗前,一掌劈倒了守<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">窗外靠着树打盹的嬷嬷,跃进窗来。
且说那萧氏被暂且囚禁<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">自个儿卧房,惟有田嬷嬷相伴,景况凄凉。苏辛端着二<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">的早饭推门进去。她依旧是那副长纱曳地的模样,眼中带着几分挑衅的笑。可是萧氏现已无心理睬她,只是垂了头<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">那儿发呆。
苏辛咳了一声,萧氏抬起头来。“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">们的早饭,饿了吧?”
萧氏轻“哼”了一声,“什么时辰了?”
苏辛一笑,“还早,距离晋蘅上朝还有一段时间。”说着将托盘放<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">桌上,坐<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">萧氏对面。
那萧氏被反缚了手,此时也不再看苏辛。
苏辛瞄瞄桌上菜色,皆是萧氏平日所喜。“听说<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">平日膳食皆是当年陪嫁过来的厨子亲自料理,也不知日后还能不能再尝到了。”说着示意了一下桌上粥菜,“您还是好自珍惜,这最后一顿吧。天牢之中,无复此番美味。”说罢起身。
那萧氏盯着饭菜发呆,见苏辛欲去,抬头道:“子雅还是孩子,心性纯良,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">……莫要难为她。”
苏辛转身,盯着她。萧氏与她对望了半日,又复低头道:“便和离吧,求王爷看<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">往昔年幼时的情分上,替她寻个好<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">家……不求大富大贵,只要……平安就好。莫要像<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">……”语渐哽咽。
苏辛暗自皱眉,摇了摇头,当真是早知如此,何必当初?她走向田嬷嬷,替她将绳子解了,转身离去。
田嬷嬷先是愣了一下,立刻跑去萧妃身边,替她解开绳子,眼中泪糊糊一片。“王妃……”叫得萧氏心酸。她递过桌上碗箸,又向外看了看天色,叹道:“您先用膳吧。”
萧氏抖着手接过来,心中忽地忆起了年轻时,华年美好,那时她还是个豪气大方的闺秀,韶颜稚齿,笑当春风……“吾欲与汝复牵黄犬,臂苍鹰,出上蔡东门逐狡兔,其可得乎?”惟有当死之时,方觉晓<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">世美好所<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">,可叹,亦可怜。
虽是食不知味,萧氏仍旧一口一口地吃了下去,未多吃,也未少吃,如往常一般,只是更仔细些,像是要抓住什么,又像是要记住什么。
天光微亮。近日几乎每日早朝,正是外扰内忧之时。
晋蘅站<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">萧氏房外,见她自房中出来,换了身体面的衣裳,面上无甚喜怒。她静静地朝外走,越过晋蘅,走到那顶停<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">那里的小轿旁,停下。她道:“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">所为,子雅皆不知晓。是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">害了她。<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">……给她找户好<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">家吧……莫……莫让她被<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">欺负了去……”她眼中的泪终是忍不住掉了下来。“更……更别……别让皇上……打她主意。”
小轿随晋蘅来到府门前。苏辛正等<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">那里。她拦下那轿,掀开轿帘,笑道:“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">是来送<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">的。”
萧氏觉得此<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">分外奇怪,皱眉道:“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">……”
苏辛转看向跟<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">轿旁的田嬷嬷,“田嬷嬷留<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">府中吧,老王爷的死又不与<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">相干,何苦做这冤死鬼。”
田嬷嬷也觉奇怪,愣了一瞬,低头答道:“老奴侍奉王妃娘娘一生,甘愿同死。”
苏辛心中生起一股敬意,转向萧氏道:“只怕皇帝会刻意保住您,反倒害了田嬷嬷。”田嬷嬷惊诧,萧氏蹙眉,略一思忖,“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">……”心道:“难道她竟知晓子雅与皇上的事?”转念一想,定是晋蘅告诉她的。不过她说的只怕没错,不能让陛下借此打子雅的主意。瞧向田嬷嬷,萧氏悠悠道:“田田,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">一生忠直,是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">累<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">犯下诸多恶业,如今,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">切莫轻了性命,要好好留<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?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">世替<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">诵经念佛,救赎罪愆。若是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">也去了,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">子雅可怎么办?”
田嬷嬷欲待不从,被苏辛一挥手,上来两个小厮拉了回去。
萧氏道:“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">何以会救<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">的<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">?”
苏辛一笑,“她于<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">有恩。”
萧氏莫名。
苏辛缓缓扯下面纱,笑道:“一别三年,今日方坦然相见,实<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">失礼。”
萧氏瞠大了双目,攥紧袍袖,眼睁睁看着苏辛的笑<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">眼面前儿后退,那两个轿夫不顾她想看个真切,脚下甚疾,像是地府里赶着投胎的恶鬼,抢食似地往前去。
她<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">轿中大喊:“竟然是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">!竟然是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">!”又忽地大笑:“哈哈哈哈,晋蘅娶了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">,恒王府便再也无后!<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">仍是要像<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">当年那样忍受他姬妾成群!<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">等着吧……终有一日,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">年老色衰,他对<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">柔情不再,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">也会像<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">一样……一样……哈哈哈……”
苏辛皱眉,说道:“不劳挂心,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">儿甚是健康,大有乃父之风。<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">夫妻和美,子孙满堂,便<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">明日,岂会如<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">这般凄凉?机关算尽,终是竹篮打水,作恶自当有报,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">便好好去服<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">自个儿种下的恶果,也不枉信了菩萨一场!”
苏辛话声不大,却让萧氏听得清清楚楚。萧氏不信,嘶声道:“不可能!不可能!<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">骗<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">!<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">骗<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">……”果然,不见心中所动,大家都是好<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">,一旦执念缠身,再生动的悔悟也转瞬飘散。萧氏本是打算体体面面地离开恒王府的,没想到,临了临了还是这般像个疯子一样让<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">看笑话。
晋蘅出了府,萧氏败了事,萧子雅被关<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">屋子里,恒王府的下<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">自然便以苏辛为主。这时,慌慌张张地跑进一个老婆子,见到苏辛就跪,颤颤抖抖回道:“禀……禀……”,“禀”了半天,终没想起来该称呼苏辛什么,只好道:“禀姑娘,小王妃……小王妃……她……她……”苏辛一急,“她怎么了?”“她跑了……”
且说朝堂之上,众臣闻说萧氏恶行,皆义愤填膺,无限同情晋蘅,再加上前些时日提上来的那些罪行,众臣皆恨不得将萧氏千刀万剐。皇室威仪岂可凌犯?一个女子,竟能随意残杀亲王,还逍遥跋扈了十几年,传出去都丢大晋的脸面!所以,当然不能传出去!
晋莩坐<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">高高的御座上,俊容无甚表情,并不能看出惊讶之色,淡定得很,像是早就料到了一般,岿然不动。他赐她死刑,秘密处死,累及亲族。对外,萧氏一家,只是借了前头贪赃枉法之名,被抄斩了满门,无论男女,一个不留,外嫁女儿不予追究。
晋蘅看着萧氏被两个内侍架到殿后,心中酸涩凄苦,眼前又复浮现出前些年母慈子孝的光景,生生闭眼压制了下去。
回得府中,苏辛上前询问,听罢低头忖道:“秘密处决?尸体呢?”
晋蘅皱眉,“陛下自会料理。”
苏辛牵起嘴角无力一笑,“萧子雅失踪了。”
晋蘅望她,急着往萧子雅处赶,问道:“可有什么可疑?她万不能有事!”
苏辛一把拉住他,道:“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">是真傻还是假傻?萧子雅弱质女流,如何自己跑得出这戒卫森严的恒王府?偏<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">此时,又偏偏赐了萧氏秘密处死,生不见<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">死不见尸,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">道是为何?”
晋蘅皱眉,“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">……确信如此?”
苏辛放开他,“是不是,自会分晓。”
金素国主派了太子亲来大晋朝贺。
晋蘅依旧遍京城地搜寻萧子雅下落。和离的诏书<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">萧氏赐死的当天便攽了下来,公布天下。
这一日,国宴。苏辛以恒王妃的身份跟随晋蘅出席。
金素太子一行,有两名贴身侍卫跟随其左右,寸步不离。入得宴厅,缴了兵器,依旧立<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">金素太子左右。那太子带着半截黄金面具,穿着暗金色的蟒袍,螭纹金线云锦靴,身材偏瘦,面色白皙,面具下的眼睛熠熠光彩,顾盼神飞。
苏辛不禁朝这太子多瞧了两眼,正对上他偶然瞟过来的眼光,但见他眼中含笑,举杯轻轻向她示意。苏辛一怔,暗暗蹙眉思忖。
一曲舞罢,晋莩携一盛装美<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">入殿,一时全场屏息,莫可仰视。
晋莩携美<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">眼不他顾,直直地走到高高的主位坐下,方对跪倒的众臣及内眷道:“各位卿家不必拘礼,都平身吧。”
众臣携妻女落座后不禁皆向那美<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">儿张望,只觉艳丽端方,明照一室,浓浓的云彩胭脂、青黛螺眉,乌云高耸,若神女临凡。一些老臣觉得略有不妥,又说不出个所以然来。
苏辛暗暗狠掐了晋蘅手心一下,望着那盛服丽<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">,眉头紧蹙。
不一时,一个黑色绣服锦衣侍卫悄无声息地来到萧子雅窗前,一掌劈倒了守<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">窗外靠着树打盹的嬷嬷,跃进窗来。

苏辛咳了一声,萧氏抬起头来。“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">们的早饭,饿了吧?”
萧氏轻“哼”了一声,“什么时辰了?”
苏辛一笑,“还早,距离晋蘅上朝还有一段时间。”说着将托盘放<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">桌上,坐<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">萧氏对面。

晋蘅站<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">萧氏房外,见她自房中出来,换了身体面的衣裳,面上无甚喜怒。她静静地朝外走,越过晋蘅,走到那顶停<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">那里的小轿旁,停下。她道:“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">所为,子雅皆不知晓。是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">害了她。<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">……给她找户好<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">家吧……莫……莫让她被<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">欺负了去……”她眼中的泪终是忍不住掉了下来。“更……更别……别让皇上……打她主意。”
小轿随晋蘅来到府门前。苏辛正等<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">那里。她拦下那轿,掀开轿帘,笑道:“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">是来送<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">的。”
萧氏觉得此<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">分外奇怪,皱眉道:“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">……”
苏辛转看向跟<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">轿旁的田嬷嬷,“田嬷嬷留<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">府中吧,老王爷的死又不与<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">相干,何苦做这冤死鬼。”
田嬷嬷也觉奇怪,愣了一瞬,低头答道:“老奴侍奉王妃娘娘一生,甘愿同死。”
苏辛心中生起一股敬意,转向萧氏道:“只怕皇帝会刻意保住您,反倒害了田嬷嬷。”田嬷嬷惊诧,萧氏蹙眉,略一思忖,“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">……”心道:“难道她竟知晓子雅与皇上的事?”转念一想,定是晋蘅告诉她的。不过她说的只怕没错,不能让陛下借此打子雅的主意。瞧向田嬷嬷,萧氏悠悠道:“田田,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">一生忠直,是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">累<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">犯下诸多恶业,如今,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">切莫轻了性命,要好好留<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?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">世替<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">诵经念佛,救赎罪愆。若是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">也去了,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">子雅可怎么办?”
田嬷嬷欲待不从,被苏辛一挥手,上来两个小厮拉了回去。
萧氏道:“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">何以会救<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">的<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">?”
苏辛一笑,“她于<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">有恩。”
萧氏莫名。
苏辛缓缓扯下面纱,笑道:“一别三年,今日方坦然相见,实<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">失礼。”
萧氏瞠大了双目,攥紧袍袖,眼睁睁看着苏辛的笑<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">眼面前儿后退,那两个轿夫不顾她想看个真切,脚下甚疾,像是地府里赶着投胎的恶鬼,抢食似地往前去。
她<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">轿中大喊:“竟然是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">!竟然是<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">!”又忽地大笑:“哈哈哈哈,晋蘅娶了<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">,恒王府便再也无后!<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">仍是要像<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">当年那样忍受他姬妾成群!<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">等着吧……终有一日,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">年老色衰,他对<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">柔情不再,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">也会像<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">一样……一样……哈哈哈……”
苏辛皱眉,说道:“不劳挂心,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">儿甚是健康,大有乃父之风。<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">夫妻和美,子孙满堂,便<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">明日,岂会如<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">这般凄凉?机关算尽,终是竹篮打水,作恶自当有报,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">便好好去服<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">自个儿种下的恶果,也不枉信了菩萨一场!”
苏辛话声不大,却让萧氏听得清清楚楚。萧氏不信,嘶声道:“不可能!不可能!<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">骗<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">!<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">骗<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5oiRm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">……”果然,不见心中所动,大家都是好<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">,一旦执念缠身,再生动的悔悟也转瞬飘散。萧氏本是打算体体面面地离开恒王府的,没想到,临了临了还是这般像个疯子一样让<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">看笑话。
晋蘅出了府,萧氏败了事,萧子雅被关<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">屋子里,恒王府的下<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">自然便以苏辛为主。这时,慌慌张张地跑进一个老婆子,见到苏辛就跪,颤颤抖抖回道:“禀……禀……”,“禀”了半天,终没想起来该称呼苏辛什么,只好道:“禀姑娘,小王妃……小王妃……她……她……”苏辛一急,“她怎么了?”“她跑了……”
且说朝堂之上,众臣闻说萧氏恶行,皆义愤填膺,无限同情晋蘅,再加上前些时日提上来的那些罪行,众臣皆恨不得将萧氏千刀万剐。皇室威仪岂可凌犯?一个女子,竟能随意残杀亲王,还逍遥跋扈了十几年,传出去都丢大晋的脸面!所以,当然不能传出去!
晋莩坐<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">高高的御座上,俊容无甚表情,并不能看出惊讶之色,淡定得很,像是早就料到了一般,岿然不动。他赐她死刑,秘密处死,累及亲族。对外,萧氏一家,只是借了前头贪赃枉法之名,被抄斩了满门,无论男女,一个不留,外嫁女儿不予追究。
晋蘅看着萧氏被两个内侍架到殿后,心中酸涩凄苦,眼前又复浮现出前些年母慈子孝的光景,生生闭眼压制了下去。
回得府中,苏辛上前询问,听罢低头忖道:“秘密处决?尸体呢?”
晋蘅皱眉,“陛下自会料理。”
苏辛牵起嘴角无力一笑,“萧子雅失踪了。”
晋蘅望她,急着往萧子雅处赶,问道:“可有什么可疑?她万不能有事!”
苏辛一把拉住他,道:“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">是真傻还是假傻?萧子雅弱质女流,如何自己跑得出这戒卫森严的恒王府?偏<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">此时,又偏偏赐了萧氏秘密处死,生不见<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">死不见尸,<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">道是为何?”
晋蘅皱眉,“<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5L2gm.jjwxc.combf847b6637">……确信如此?”
苏辛放开他,“是不是,自会分晓。”
金素国主派了太子亲来大晋朝贺。
晋蘅依旧遍京城地搜寻萧子雅下落。和离的诏书<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">萧氏赐死的当天便攽了下来,公布天下。
这一日,国宴。苏辛以恒王妃的身份跟随晋蘅出席。
金素太子一行,有两名贴身侍卫跟随其左右,寸步不离。入得宴厅,缴了兵器,依旧立<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Zyom.jjwxc.combf847b6637">金素太子左右。那太子带着半截黄金面具,穿着暗金色的蟒袍,螭纹金线云锦靴,身材偏瘦,面色白皙,面具下的眼睛熠熠光彩,顾盼神飞。
苏辛不禁朝这太子多瞧了两眼,正对上他偶然瞟过来的眼光,但见他眼中含笑,举杯轻轻向她示意。苏辛一怔,暗暗蹙眉思忖。
一曲舞罢,晋莩携一盛装美<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">入殿,一时全场屏息,莫可仰视。
晋莩携美<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">眼不他顾,直直地走到高高的主位坐下,方对跪倒的众臣及内眷道:“各位卿家不必拘礼,都平身吧。”
众臣携妻女落座后不禁皆向那美<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">儿张望,只觉艳丽端方,明照一室,浓浓的云彩胭脂、青黛螺眉,乌云高耸,若神女临凡。一些老臣觉得略有不妥,又说不出个所以然来。
苏辛暗暗狠掐了晋蘅手心一下,望着那盛服丽<img align="bottom" style="margin-bottom:-2px;vertical-align:top;" src="/book2/showimg?5Lq6m.jjwxc.combf847b6637">,眉头紧蹙。
