朱玹漸漸甦醒，從一團迷霧中看見了微光，他深吸了一口氣，濃厚的松針香氣混合了少女髮香，湖衣還枕在他臂上，他本不想吵醒她，但她察覺到他細微的動作，搧了搧眼睫，睜開惺忪睡目，接著縮回他懷裡，兩人依舊十指纏繞，不願放手。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6X6cnWyBZ
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMoENzZn21
直到浩漫的夜空邊緣亮起微微的魚肚白，最後一刻終於到來，短暫相聚，轉眼又要離別。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKW7a5SbfG
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHTogdoSkw
兩人沉默地坐起身來，尋覓散亂在一旁的衣物，各自穿衣結髮。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YPQ3UQayo
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBsVz5FCmg
昨夜，他們逾越了世俗倫理，再無迴旋的餘地。 301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHreElSePU7
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv0XIMGB51
今晨他們默然以對，近在咫尺卻無法擁有，無限愛意卻只能禁聲不語。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q3LTcpOMN
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i0q2UkAs1
「我該回去了。」她垂下頭，不敢看他。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiczixGgOEI
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqV8CAIafm
他扶她站起身來，兩人對視，目光膠著許久。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOigCTIZ9wY
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXaNo5Ut5x
「沿著狹路往前走，遇到小溪往東，不到半里就會看見五海子行宮。妳腳上有傷，記得慢著走，別太勉強……」他想再說些溫情的話語，卻有口難言，只能伸出手，勾起食指娑摩她的臉頰，久久不忍放。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJIIoec6Rg
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChlSfdFzza
她不發一語，不哭泣，不乞憐，就如兩人初次相遇時那般倔強，咬著牙紅著眼，不向未知的命運屈服，她越是倔強，他越是心疼。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPBfMiEIV3
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dQuV91lUi
「夜裡風大，別著涼。」他堅持為她披上他的紫貂裘。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeb8eBff0K
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsMpjltA20
道別太難，日復一日的相思終成枉然。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmSEVmPmV8
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkdOBK1BNG
最後，她先放開了手，用盡氣力轉過身去，緩步走上林間小徑。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOfJ9aFga2
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM8ypUoNso
「等等！」朱玹喚住她。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A87KD9Dqk

她停下腳步，站在離他有些距離的地方，回眸。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA9TIBjosB
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMttmT651Y6
「妳再堅持一會兒，我，」他頓了一下，「定不負妳。」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXecJhnKA9I
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFHYS5dMvG
她輕輕微笑，點了點頭。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nuDZu7Kco
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IRv5bTHsg
他凝望著她離去的背影，良久。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1IOOVap3Y

多年來他守著對先皇的承諾，輔佐皇帝，戍衛江山，卻只換來皇帝的疑心猜忌，早已心生倦意，如今違背皇權和禮教，戀慕後宮妃子，甚至失去自持，作下不可言說之事，他並不後悔。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQNPALQjUV

朱玹的曾祖和祖父多次隨成祖皇帝遠征，立下赫赫戰功，還曾在戰況危急時護衛天子左右，因而獲得成祖御賜丹書鐵卷。丹書鐵卷以鐵為契，以丹書之，以金為匱，以石為室。鐵卷可世代家傳，多用於護身防家，也可請求賜予官爵及邑地，但他――301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7pELFtQaV
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24KdqAwOLX
要以此交換湖衣的自由之身。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPnxxgzarw
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEyR391qUR
眼下她未受冊封，可如尋常宮女一般，屆齡放還。若她能夠遠離皇宮，不再捲入後宮爭鬥當中，人身安危亦不會再受威脅。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr82avzoVB0
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJHgLEPSzp
他只請求皇上放她安然離宮，至於其他，且戰且走便是，要求更多，不免又引來皇帝猜忌，反而會害了湖衣。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUebKauBNQ
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vZmN0gHhl
若皇上認為丹書鐵卷不足以作此請求，他亦可辭去輔政大臣及禁軍統領之職，遠離宮中權力中心，別讓皇帝侄兒一見著他，就坐立不安，如芒刺在背。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemxtZP2wDu

301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUJDaNDbnR
朱玹微微頷首。他原本放心不下，命人不露行跡地跟在湖衣身後，直到她安然抵達行宮。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmxQ4bV92N
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJYycbG3vY
「還有一事，昨日傳聞，在離此不遠的林子裡，有人發現兩名驅獵夫的屍身，皆是遭到刺殺。」劉熙逕自續道，「再加上來宣旨的中官私下透露，黑熊皮後腿上留有幾道不明鞭痕，處理起來十分麻煩。」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN9DuzEVtS
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDAT6uA7sm
「所以黑熊是被人趕過來的。」朱玹皺眉思忖，「那兩名驅獵夫可能是看見了甚麼，所以遭到滅口。」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl8OIjaaaI

不，神機營火力強大，無論甚麼樣的猛獸都討不了好去。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenLm7va8Z2

目標是湖衣。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMoHL1Oas4

有人要置她於死，偽造成獵場中遭受黑熊攻擊的假象。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOg1Cz7mIJ
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqYU5IcXfR
是貴妃。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhppOrgwq8G
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebvo0Y7OWP
多年來他時有耳聞，萬貴妃謀害後宮嬪妃，但他沒想到貴妃的勢力已從後宮延伸到宮外及朝堂。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55H0RU4wtU
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdLMMLHgho
如今連掌管獵場的上林苑監都聽從貴妃授命，這其中必然有他未曾察覺的權力和利益收受。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaALNj6FXFP
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEl5GfoUWL
無論居中穿針引線者是誰，此人暗中勾結內外主事官員，手握權勢，心懷叵測，不僅是對湖衣，她身邊所有人――包括皇帝，都可能會有性命之危。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxeJSJjBM8

湖衣不記得自己是如何走回行宮的，只知腳步越來越沉重，像是被灌了鉛。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigf4Zj0qyZ
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FOjftHpsn
昨夜，她給了心儀男人唯一能給的事物――她自己。選擇所愛，卻悖離禮法，背叛了皇上，負罪感一點一滴地侵蝕她的心口，最後，胸腔成了一個荒蕪的空洞。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlDVyRQXQz
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLOQGljSFH
她自然明白此事世間難容，世俗倫理如銅牆鐵壁，一女不事二夫。別說在宮中是唯一死罪，就是在民間，女子與夫君的叔父相戀，為家族蒙羞，若是被人察覺，下場必然是死路一條，要不被逼自縊，要不被拖去遊街、浸豬籠，絕無他途。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89ejXn7eIn
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbE6JbBsC1
既走到這一步，後方已是萬丈懸崖，縱使遭到萬夫所指，最後粉身碎骨而亡，又何嘗不是自己所求的結果。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKgi7dOG5B

湖衣沿著小徑向前走去，晨風微涼，微潤的溼氣像是隱藏在空氣中的無聲訊息。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPUZ90N7lO

黑羽白喙的貓頭鷹被她的腳步聲驚起，振翅盤旋。原來前方不遠處就是五海子行宮，主殿盛光殿的琉璃牌坊和灰瓦捲棚頂已映入眼簾，再往後是皇帝寢殿，這裡伺候起居的宮人不多，規矩也較為鬆散，連站哨的侍衛都因酒醉而靠在宮門邊打盹。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWYJVCjSto
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c8kLNLRh0
她想回暫居的偏殿，躲進被褥，在沒人看到的地方獨自悲傷。不料，御道盡頭有個頭髮花白的嬤嬤，一瞥見湖衣便急急朝她跑過來。湖衣沒見過這個嬤嬤，猜想應是在行宮裡當差的。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHviLe7Gx85
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe71QIJGfU
「妳們這些裝死發懶的丫頭，不戳妳們幾下子，不知道幹活，」嬤嬤抓著湖衣的手腕，又戳了一下她的太陽穴，「天一黑全跑去吃酒玩樂，皇上寢宮要人值夜，妳們可全死絕了。」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PjoSWYlvf
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHDrbg9Eby
湖衣被嬤嬤用力拖向皇帝寢宮，她受傷的右腳刺痛著。她想解釋，嬤嬤卻一路又拖又拉，根本不給她機會開口，一直到了宮門前，嬤嬤推她進門後，才放手離開。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPngLvAQ3d3
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KIgCLkKrr
站在寢宮外值夜的太監是張敏。張敏認得湖衣，一看到她來，隨即從廊下走來見禮，神情緊繃著。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvGfb2GM4Q
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB5do9WkFr
湖衣不禁心生好奇。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcMCuFVVPD
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jyqxOzYWo
皇帝只在有嬪妃侍寢時，才需要一名太監和一名宮女在寢殿外當值，否則，便只由兩個太監值夜。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uDZvcgsNt
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3nmc4ZXDG
那麼，為皇上侍寢的是誰？301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzwuvvZi2C
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORY2VsboBo
「娘娘，這……」張敏走到湖衣面前，試圖擋下她。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOjpRa9Lc3
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDee2LjTX1u
湖衣以自認最凶狠的眼神瞪了他一眼，「你敢攔我。」301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0BCUnpGAH
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLdgru6i4T
「老奴不敢。」張敏低頭作揖。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXI6hfxF3i

湖衣不理會張敏，逕自走上階梯。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPORYbcNtYi

張敏見攔阻不成，也不再多言，悶著頭退到殿門一側。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52hlaZydcy
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98MY7kM53A
湖衣將耳朵貼近殿門，聽著殿內傳來陣陣濃重的喘息聲和呻吟聲，現在她知道那是男女燕好的聲音。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5CWZBaaCI
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WKaN1P8zI
「喔，慢點，對，就是這樣，喔，使勁……」女人毫不掩飾自己的呻吟聲。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sK13WekEM
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRea9EHvYOR
湖衣被好奇心驅使，轉過牆角，到了寢宮的另一端，蹲低身子，透過花窗向裡看。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21jV3k1xtt
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBX99e0bJe
房裡的男女扭成一團，兩人全身赤裸，男人背對著湖衣，不斷地向女人的胸口擠壓，女人的頭向後仰，看不到臉，隱約看的出來，她有對碩大的乳房。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabNlfBzxUw
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuEnxnYiuF
雖然只得見背影，但她猜到那男人是朱見深，他在女人的身軀上起伏擺動，發出規律而濡濕的聲音。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoVXyjDDxn
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAOANUyodn
「來啊，真好……」女人握住一隻鼓脹的乳房，乳頭又黑又大。男人如飢餓的嬰兒般一把抓住那隻乳房，將頭埋進胸口，渴切地吸吮著，下身更加劇烈地晃動起來。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovoImgfs9q
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUp7mTNyJU
湖衣這才看見女人的半邊臉，她的臉潮紅臃腫，緊閉的雙唇周圍有著明顯的皺紋，她依然認得出那是萬貴妃。她喊叫呻吟，腫脹的乳房上浮出一條條糾結的青筋，另一隻乳頭還不斷溢出稀薄的白色汁液，皇帝鬆開口中黝黑潮濕的乳頭，轉向另一邊吸吮。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNafAQBa4I
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN5Xml4AmI
那是……301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZSLysuQaL

乳汁？皇上在吸吮萬貴妃的乳汁！301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjcpRhz5Kn
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHla96vbC9
湖衣驚呆了半晌，直到聽見高亢的吟叫，她才踉蹌地往後退。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2ARJa4qYc
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNf8CQRLPl
「娘娘……」張敏必然是看見她驚恐萬狀的神情，走過來想攙扶她，臉上還帶著「早叫妳別看了」的無奈。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7746aAGGFe
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2d2nPwAjZi
湖衣如遭五雷轟頂，耳邊嗡嗡作響，她努力回想要如何返還她的偏殿，腦中卻一片空白。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFM8xA3tHc
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sp5DpBNvG
她轉身就走，心中直想和皇帝寢宮離得越遠越好，淚水迷濛，她看不見前面的路，什麼都看不到，她只能一直跑，一直跑。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ04Vwu8vT8
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulTXtuvufS
下雨了，一開始是霏霏的細雨，不久後變成了滂沱大雨。她不敢停下腳步，只要她一回頭，她就會憶起剛才看到的那一幕，皇上和萬貴妃，他們是夫妻，也是母子。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqWiIjLmLW
301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt0PEdKP0u
她拚命奔跑，受傷的右腳承受不了她身體的重量，就這樣癱倒在泥濘裡，她胃裡翻攪，用盡剩餘的力氣乾嘔，直至喉嚨灼痛，再也發不出任何聲音來。301Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7myTcETQT
