蒼穹轉成了深紫色，晨星升起，紫嘯鶇的叫聲劃破了靜謐，森林以悠長的回聲相和。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchovFn1NmN

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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsNYdhRTHe
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vY31LyHfz
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveQWxJYaHH
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSbIZbn7MH
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQepqhyPkMd
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy9DLNOliS
昨夜，他們逾越了世俗倫理，再無迴旋的餘地。 333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQJAkmUUwj
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWA7F0oH16
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb4v5kR2O7
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDwnY8FyhL
「我該回去了。」她垂下頭，不敢看他。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbcV3FSdQy
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnogByK0PA6
他扶她站起身來，兩人對視，目光膠著許久。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0nGv7dNBh
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CYJb0i8nJ
「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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi1YLzOEw5
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5Pt6qFB5D
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8J0ye5dt7
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQJNeneYy2
「夜裡風大，別著涼。」他堅持為她披上他的紫貂裘。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYmu41MS0s
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2huzAhryKr
道別太難，日復一日的相思終成枉然。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNgYWNvqlK
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2DXRgw1nN
最後，她先放開了手，用盡氣力轉過身去，緩步走上林間小徑。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUNYxJejfQ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TGcfhPjoI
「等等！」朱玹喚住她。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AF9ZPM5ye
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZF81z7lXl
她停下腳步，站在離他有些距離的地方，回眸。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4EBXvn2e4
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFrFhrMTEo
「妳再堅持一會兒，我，」他頓了一下，「定不負妳。」333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISFFjzWjcE
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJKdA5JiOB
她輕輕微笑，點了點頭。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL0u9N66Hb
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOvlWYwiSK
他凝望著她離去的背影，良久。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9eKlav1iI

一片低厚的烏雲遮蔽星空，起風了，稍晚必然會有雨。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kzFozVQL4
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkC9qatmPB
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCCAfVLbqG

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――333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamHJdsAYsu
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OU4FVCmJH
要以此交換湖衣的自由之身。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1QObh3PhP
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ7ZJUGGLr
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNstzgjUdm2
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoC3sUEGnw
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxw7EqauM9
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyCWkBpCtq
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA3hanHw0G
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR2u2yftNR
湖衣既以心相許，他必不相負。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZZpEwTHRs

朱玹回過頭，是司衛劉熙。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EmCUeXjWD
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9d7LcTaR3
「護衛兵方才回報，那名『宮女』，現已安全回到行宮。」劉熙回報。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoKQXEs6Zk
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtByWwkYg9
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCnYI56Uun
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhAOvx155e
「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。」333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d1RuzNBz0
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vSK0PacQr
「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。」333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQRvoGEe0o

是誰欲與他和神機營為敵？333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9FFfgZxUK

不，神機營火力強大，無論甚麼樣的猛獸都討不了好去。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS2eQm250d
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP7fepHgRv
目標是湖衣。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hxnAS5mkP
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBwHUHHwlZ
有人要置她於死，偽造成獵場中遭受黑熊攻擊的假象。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJjZmXJ1nQ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R1m360myc
是貴妃。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHIh8KCSDm
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqnuRDNLv1
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JVfy0Kt6D
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EjtCiHVC4
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSJSjAVdXg
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN44YdpgRD
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qygnf3ZsW

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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3R7vLaFP8
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz0x2UgCOp
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyp6Pu9PGF
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ7zVWmOoq
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2AOOzoQOe
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6zT5IZBsL
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsDXgJoni3
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor9fd24Z5c
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmp1NBY1zW

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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIjD6gpsG5
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYDfff8QFN
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnUkoguZxX
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4IBSg5tCx
「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。」333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET9yfoLTZ6
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHbg76bQme
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OsTS05gkE
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNRC1DHgPY
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglZMLgESS9
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0zJ6rZiFB
湖衣不禁心生好奇。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC2cYxBFUr
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMlera5Qxy
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8mCLDgONa
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpV5xrFrvY
那麼，為皇上侍寢的是誰？333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7SDNXQAmG
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICFqGPnVv2
「娘娘，這……」張敏走到湖衣面前，試圖擋下她。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevUmYI6hNj
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8qsaBiVHM
湖衣以自認最凶狠的眼神瞪了他一眼，「你敢攔我。」333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbEajetws3
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEBXSI5we0
「老奴不敢。」張敏低頭作揖。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBdnZsbvst
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJi2LLoKfa
湖衣不理會張敏，逕自走上階梯。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIfzQMG6fW
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo37ioMuLW
張敏見攔阻不成，也不再多言，悶著頭退到殿門一側。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2egTWyrJhD
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bSHrwff0B
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95m9WuV85A
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX29VIf3Gx
「喔，慢點，對，就是這樣，喔，使勁……」女人毫不掩飾自己的呻吟聲。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37qGj1ZMo5
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqjvyPn96O
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutPZ9O8mBR
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0k8FpKbLE
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQgNwkQ4VW
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhqdVS7ESf
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoKT0ZZkCP
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZy6m7Hcbj
「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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkRrLdKNOe
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79sReLnqyQ
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FQDl3NUbq
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eHokDeVzB
那是……333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iX4QFFlnR
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjTp2P4C4E
乳汁？皇上在吸吮萬貴妃的乳汁！333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRdJMXTagn
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡron3tmcaN8
湖衣驚呆了半晌，直到聽見高亢的吟叫，她才踉蹌地往後退。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4ogrR2E08
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06TdwagY7W
「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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98WHU2mUlm
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DUqYOTVEE
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8dMD8PoVz
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9O3yQpzDm
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROCluGrvkf
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO1r5M7Zt3
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBE9vxiVHQ
333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLUBtf7i9Z
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。333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9d2Vic8vG
