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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmrCaeosFQ

「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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EjXC7O1uP
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1Cr2wqsqn
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo19v22bQP
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosZnpVEvK9
「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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB8BK8UXyq
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPTw8W7CtJ
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeezr7DGAH
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl4IYKXU6d
「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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC6DghGMTf
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmRkAq8l4c
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR5SIyKgec
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgJwZWjBJx
「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，」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsmgrX949v
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8kfRJtatA
他笑著飲了一大口酒，奇異的熱流燒灼著他。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNDsmyyqB5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhf9HYbIEA
一定是酒，令他醺醺然。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Twl8LCnvv
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3zHsFBaQs
「先皇命令你們玩樂？」湖衣一臉不可置信。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ERKR6Jn5x
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zV0WLaf1M
「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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RCuz0JYLK
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoxuUn279p
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTwf5pHrb7
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoCIMaODV1
「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？」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEe5wP7Byt
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYJeebmZOY
她的笑聲如此甜美，溫暖的氣息如雲朵般環繞。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYWBlxx706
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EPVJIMUGN
「皇上聖旨，豈敢不從？」朱玹笑道。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXLWEILoqf
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfn1vtfUaq
見湖衣聽得興味盎然，他再為自己和湖衣添滿酒杯。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCpcTke9JW
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaddWbuwh6
「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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS53fWwMPU1
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvsj3NrKG4
湖衣笑著說：「先皇肯定是怕你們把馬匹都給壓垮了。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rS88Xl88s
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHOHVONMtR
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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVmoaqpYA0
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLVnnddY0R
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM40T8kGrcr
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJX3v8rFcT
「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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51WjHftYyl
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwxeKnlhnx
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTJOKKwukH
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqRbNehFXu
「我早已不打獵了。」他說。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidt6bM13RD
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwXqitEO0R
除了她，朱玹不曾對任何人說及往事。 254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1geVnUodN5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3CJVLuEvY
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhjfQ5V3DW
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBdvF4b7uU
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPYDEzgO9Q
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenIzP2L7Gj
「王爺，我……」她欲言又止。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftbknKbwwk
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIkiAbcpwh
「不要緊，」他撫摸她的髮絲和臉頰，「這些都是陳年往事了。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oqQne6iKz
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuUMaXsdkI
湖衣迷茫地抬起頭，與朱玹目光相觸，驀地心中一滯。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGVdHq6vB2
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3ceccJqCI
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pXWHXBm0O
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzUum52N4i
她一口飲盡杯中殘酒。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMGQT6JD3U
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdaAuzUuMY
「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？」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJIW8WOMCT
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tT8t6BQTU
「好。」他低聲說。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtfUDgghaz
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A5gjIbZlp
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNtZIqDCLV
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoUev7sDmL
令人窒息的長吻後，她全身輕輕顫抖。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQjVDc3oax
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzQJ2lpBqj
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjisMlcclYH
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ9T3nlGG4
「別走……」她嬌喘著央求他，如攀浮木般緊緊抱住他的頸脖。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0uJgTWcbJ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUNCtNehoZ
「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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb1BcVCzVU
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoEKPlmqCE
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgyPMx6KE9
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4qWXG0PD0
春宵苦短，多等一刻都是辜負，他覆在她身上，與她合而為一。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eBzGaZs9X
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGMiURTdbC
愛至深處的疼痛，使她朦朧了雙眼。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qs8uqAv1m
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnWp7oRZ09
「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。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0W3ax94N2
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBt74rbJvK
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmL62xDKhN
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhl2jNu8oa
他在她耳邊喃喃地說：「我絕不會，再拋下妳。」254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswcfhVSiVB
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbzDfZRlfo
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgejEg1IlWe
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tLnALzEkH
她環住他，貼在他的唇邊、臉頰、耳際細細親吻。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNC0eACRkI
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxQ6KpnupH
他們與世隔絕，不知今夕何夕。夜，隨之沉默。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI3cJSWka6
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpDkWIusAI
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbeBmvtzMJ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m6zmNCoyk
還有喘息，與低微的呻吟，久久不息。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzn5FOurTC
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLuOJBSD1K
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJpJVisUWB
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfYgdKzAKv
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sOGuyS74W
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPQ8Oyvq6N
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。254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE0RZd77HZ
