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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yCoVk9QIL

「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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5CYgvHGiJ
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PB0IESWfO
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6xbd0p46a
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQobMV23DLr
「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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGkrdzosZI
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf87PxfHzE
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4t6WjBL5X
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpwGSra1dC
「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。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrvtFIRvNX
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GKsjSFyg5
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvdbZ1q88l
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZsRZOSNNY
「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，」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNbt6WOlKA
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeIuo5vGDE
他笑著飲了一大口酒，奇異的熱流燒灼著他。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RESj8THZ3
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJV2yATxf0
一定是酒，令他醺醺然。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDO8jKzQFs
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BFbhjibFx
「先皇命令你們玩樂？」湖衣一臉不可置信。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMpZnWJTnW
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbSX91xktn
「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。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNpAhshYS8
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u9cWXJV1D
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hwsC5j5X7
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPfOqA5VEy
「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？」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcD9M5nFXC
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWvkMtbXA6
她的笑聲如此甜美，溫暖的氣息如雲朵般環繞。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAZPecR9Jf
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dOPbHzvYB
「皇上聖旨，豈敢不從？」朱玹笑道。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAgwrMorie
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiCAandWbU
見湖衣聽得興味盎然，他再為自己和湖衣添滿酒杯。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5iVQwnxgl
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuRSC7uYCr
「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。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XnIlrMgfv
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvFYhjr743
湖衣笑著說：「先皇肯定是怕你們把馬匹都給壓垮了。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpp5Uuq5NC
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrHbjX4lEp
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。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmdgGNZJab
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09sJ6k3tMc
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjq0PQ45TS
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6TDIWXFCl
「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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6hnlN7JYY
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcRJeHdHn8
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgowQi0dTQi
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq1u1rAKGC
「我早已不打獵了。」他說。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUvVkzxdLy
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHFIyVaUTA
除了她，朱玹不曾對任何人說及往事。 318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU7eD2tZyo
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4FnDILYka
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡts255lqbNR
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMRAXol9kc
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpLvASCfzI
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeyuddGlgW
「王爺，我……」她欲言又止。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTC9AwS1rE
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMET5Fk8C0G
「不要緊，」他撫摸她的髮絲和臉頰，「這些都是陳年往事了。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjoLDlGqfP
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRz58XC1rk
湖衣迷茫地抬起頭，與朱玹目光相觸，驀地心中一滯。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiypxtfxpNi
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN696Q1dJo7
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIIvi2IlDu
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2acOSrKw9a
她一口飲盡杯中殘酒。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLmolX5Uc9
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZLU524wso
「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？」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhc17qwIFo
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HVNSQMMJn
「好。」他低聲說。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz03qkNe6Je
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWJYPPTlfW
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYOuLLL4q4
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd2SQ0Pf1v
令人窒息的長吻後，她全身輕輕顫抖。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aBfW5Beae
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68dMKcqfrA
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOXMqSsDN6
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8SnMO2hkf
「別走……」她嬌喘著央求他，如攀浮木般緊緊抱住他的頸脖。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZgJQ7wNPz
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3gOXo04NF
「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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFjVeWYX2t
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQGVpgvQ2I
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX9T5xGVGX
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5h5qvV0OZ
春宵苦短，多等一刻都是辜負，他覆在她身上，與她合而為一。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWVxvTBUF6
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK0n4CHGFi
愛至深處的疼痛，使她朦朧了雙眼。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73ZhrpkGUH
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1nyd1qxD3
「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。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXzoDmhSho
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zefuhgOxn
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkdBeea5fW
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWSjQJVSNX
他在她耳邊喃喃地說：「我絕不會，再拋下妳。」318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48xAtBxVlu
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MQ3kkSxYi
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQX0bdaH4P
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje7TWrRKt2
她環住他，貼在他的唇邊、臉頰、耳際細細親吻。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w1jl0cw2o
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslfhHrqKu2
他們與世隔絕，不知今夕何夕。夜，隨之沉默。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZESjqLYRKl
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzbd7GbuId
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwsynHg152
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQJ9RTbTaE
還有喘息，與低微的呻吟，久久不息。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8RK2l4hiI
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVzGVIL70M
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rE6uRDbHU
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlgjUwXsLV
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEYxattClo
318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nFAHCYXXX
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。318Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5zZJVxkS5
