落日最後一抹餘暉消逝在山脊，夜幕降臨，森林卻像是睡醒了，繁星綴滿夜空，樹影綽約，倉鴞在梢間低語，士兵在空曠的林地燃起篝火，空氣中充滿了煙霧和燒烤肉脂的味道，夜風傳送著熱鬧的談笑聲，彷彿世間的煩憂都已遠去。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C6Ra1z253

「喝一杯，暖暖身子。」朱玹遞了杯屠蘇酒，湖衣喝了一大口，酒氣上湧，灼得雙頰酡紅。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw0Y5blrp1
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT8tqhHZK8
兩人將黑熊毛皮平舖在篝火邊，再將熊掌與其他生肉架在一起燒烤，焰火將熊皮烘的溫暖蓬鬆，熊掌肥美欲滴。湖衣半臥在熊皮上，身上裹著朱玹慣穿的紫貂裘，明眸中迷濛著三分醉意。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRvq4y1MDB
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHa0esOWMr
「王爺常來南苑打獵嗎？」澄澄火光映著她的歡顏，滿眼盡是笑意。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuHSyHWKzq
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaqYvUe1Yc
朱玹凝望她，那股莫名的感覺又湧了上來，其中參雜著牽掛、不捨、和難以言喻的渴望。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1k8w8gAVB
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUnuxTLTXH
「年少時，我常和郕王、雍靖王聯袂赴圍。每年春秋兩季，我們幾個在京城待不住，成天盤算如何調鷹弄犬，準備春蒐秋圍。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrjESkVlDF
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OCI68q5Y7
那時的他約莫和現在的她一般年紀，青春年少，還沒有家國重責負在肩上，唯一的願景是想做個遨遊天地的自在王孫。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNhk3TkweQ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbIhWZ7omn
「如果朝中無事，先皇也常與我們一同赴圍，大臣們多半會極力勸阻，有鑑於此，」朱玹又道：「先皇還會特意下旨，命我等莫忘成祖開闢獵場之用心，及時習武行獵。其實是為了讓我們有個好藉口可以出城行獵，」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqaaP6LxGE
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEI3MzLZDC
他笑著飲了一大口酒，奇異的熱流燒灼著他。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon2OtveOCs
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GLe65YPPh
一定是酒，令他醺醺然。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPhhBw7LoV
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0FLe7zv4x
「先皇命令你們玩樂？」湖衣一臉不可置信。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqe4Na9DbE
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEHCZyy67D
「當然，有回我們在南苑玩了月餘，皇上還要近侍傳旨，說：『朝中之事，爾等勿慮，務必盡情吃喝，肥壯而回。』連宣旨太監們都聽傻了。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD05226vOn
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5zRvuHN4g
談起年少的輕狂往事，朱玹忍不住笑了開懷，湖衣更是笑得花枝亂顫。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32mFnkQS1v
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum1EKMkcd0
「先皇待你們真好，」她輕輕笑了，「後來王爺有盡情吃喝，肥壯而回嗎？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeBSqcKVic
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS5RAVTMbR
她的笑聲如此甜美，溫暖的氣息如雲朵般環繞。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSXFLEYtCL
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakFsywHe1o
「皇上聖旨，豈敢不從？」朱玹笑道。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5g4Y46t9h
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrEkwnFMDb
見湖衣聽得興味盎然，他再為自己和湖衣添滿酒杯。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFnwWzwLa4
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeB7uuwjJg
「我等一共打了兩頭野豬、九隻野鴨、七隻雉雞、四頭肥野兔、還有兩頭灰狼，」朱玹扳指數著，「每日吃這些野味，我們全都胖得跟野豬一樣，雍靖王更是胖到連馬鞍都爬不上去。後來我們回宮覆旨，先皇一見我等，龍心大悅，還各賞了一座全新的馬車。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WVMhIVIh7
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ51FRmvprG
湖衣笑著說：「先皇肯定是怕你們把馬匹都給壓垮了。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4xoeTxCjQ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18nMfpB388
朱玹移近篝火，翻動串在枯枝上炙烤的熊掌，熊脂滴落柴火之中，發出劈啪的聲響，還有油脂的香氣。他挑了幾塊細緻肥美的掌心肉，串在樹枝上遞給她，「試試這個，炙烤熊掌，別有一番風味。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1BBh3kCR2
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmfTAxma0C
熊掌略焦，且伙伕兵沒把獸毛拔乾淨，但是湖衣吃得開懷，對此絲毫不在意。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8XrcKoOKU
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLphLS0HktK
「現在呢？王爺和雍靖王、郕王還常一起去……」她突然摀住自己的嘴。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuIQv25el8
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSpC50nXVY
湖衣必然發覺郕王就是日後的攝政王，先王復位後遭到毒殺，所以住了口。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA3khKEeV1
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5vjUm1HBa
「我早已不打獵了。」他說。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yMXhYim12
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYsuGqwCuv
除了她，朱玹不曾對任何人說及往事。 317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkxaSXtAiE
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8kyyPyylp
土木之變撼動了他們所有人的命運。先皇被俘，攝政王監國，朱玹的父親戰死，使他不得不在十五歲那年承襲爵位，帶領和他一樣肩負著國仇家恨的神機營新兵，跟隨大 軍出征。經過數度攻防，雙方各自折損兵將，先皇才獲瓦剌族釋回。先皇返回京城後，攝政王又將先皇和當今皇上各自幽禁，雍靖王見皇族同室操戈，骨肉相殘，憤而離京就藩，至今未曾踏進京城一步。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulemEhhsDs
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrW3yzI4uq
他多希望他能在劇變發生以前遇見她，那時他就只是朱玹，可以為心中所愛奮不顧身，一往無前，他確信當年的他會和現在一樣，無可自拔地戀上她。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmNZIcvTro
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85WCniFCZO
「王爺，我……」她欲言又止。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ1Li9f9VP
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiJdwroSIP
「不要緊，」他撫摸她的髮絲和臉頰，「這些都是陳年往事了。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wlELqNxRO
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBsbYnc4x4
湖衣迷茫地抬起頭，與朱玹目光相觸，驀地心中一滯。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5moWialcX
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3U5PSD2VY
她還來不及向他訴盡情衷，還來不及執子之手，就莫名成了皇帝的妃子，從此生死契闊，何以問天。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmCGyW3Uwd
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4x00hAPae
她一口飲盡杯中殘酒。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNtaj4hngc
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILK39egGX5
「王爺，」湖衣望上他的雙眼，哀求一個卑微的承諾，「你可不可以，別再留我一個人？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisHEwg3ZEg
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz58xCPhRE
「好。」他低聲說。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9ge5xVtMi
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSI527RSs8
他擁住她，她沒有抗拒，而是將頭埋進他的胸膛，貼近他強而有力的心跳。他們的唇互相尋覓，他們的呼吸和而為一，髮絲交纏，他用手臂環抱住她，她的手順上他的頸項。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpozzYNptN0
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkZjMGaynT
令人窒息的長吻後，她全身輕輕顫抖。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqmUmpnP6p
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSEicLICGt
他不記得她是在甚麼時候走入他心中，是見她在御前無所畏懼的神情，抑或是御花園裡她燦爛的笑容；不，是更早以前，兩人第一次在御路相遇，就已刻骨銘心。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddm3y35h98
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Vzlo50sI
「別走……」她嬌喘著央求他，如攀浮木般緊緊抱住他的頸脖。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb20V0MHRXi
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN1D8UKkNc
「我在，別怕。」他低頭尋找她的唇，思念和欲望如柴薪遇上烈火，激盪出一片火海。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhySiUeGiK
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWnXzao7JJ
他親吻她，與上回的溫柔繾綣不同，而是像火焰般帶著炙人的熱度，他吻著她的唇角，親吻她的頸項，她輕輕嚶了一聲，顫慄的胸口劇烈起伏著。他俯下身，敞開她的衣襟，親吻她的前胸，接著咬開她外衣繫帶，他毫無困難地卸除她的衣物，因為這身衣裳，是他為她穿上的。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDToRQEl3N
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWly0fUuNh
春宵苦短，多等一刻都是辜負，他覆在她身上，與她合而為一。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2SxVCERtB
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwhSoObDQB
愛至深處的疼痛，使她朦朧了雙眼。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO7UbQfZC9
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv5DPnCpNy
「不，不要閉眼，看著我，」他捧住她的臉，令她不得不睜眼凝望他，「我要妳看著我，只有我。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWpZ3rom23
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsdwyyMaz1
她聲音哽咽著，發出幾句零散的絮語，是央求他給她更多，或是要他放手輕饒過自己。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB8qCcFL9Z
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNQnxxG5ZU
他在她耳邊喃喃地說：「我絕不會，再拋下妳。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeIDBcda7R
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8nbU2d6Yp
遲疑和痛楚悄悄被黑夜吞沒，幾只螢火蟲閃爍如跳躍的星火。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPOg8hzlt0
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8hOIA73U9
她環住他，貼在他的唇邊、臉頰、耳際細細親吻。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRllszd4mD
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSRU3IXHfq
他們與世隔絕，不知今夕何夕。夜，隨之沉默。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMcrRq17ad
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88NxksordW
樹林裡的空氣濃郁得足以啜飲，夜鶯因此而吟唱。篝火幾乎燃盡，只留餘燼。熊皮經過烘烤，膨鬆而溫暖，纏綿於上的是一對彼此相融的身影。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHa0OiQTcN
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzypl7Bnuq
還有喘息，與低微的呻吟，久久不息。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcpqapoSiM
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM2aQrm64x
兩人像是在沙漠歷經乾渴，終於尋到了水源；或是歷經永夜，忽然看見了一絲溫柔熹光，不惜傾盡一切，義無反顧地去攫取、緊握，再也不放手。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvr9eZ7hGo
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gtLlnHxqr
他們的溫柔很短暫，只能存在密林的深處，卻沒有什麼比今夜燦爛的星光更加美好。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXYGgb9jrs
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIJiVFha4d
夜色漸深，現世被凝凍在密林之外，凌亂的灌木叢中，悄悄綻開了一朵月之花。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlu5ZTub2M
