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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpyQtExVfz

「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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNvqmChf6j
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDC5axwzkL
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYlhjlw0y4
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yEdBP1Cny
「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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QGrEZTYZQ
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYizaXeztP
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaDJ0zjI4E
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICzknnc5EK
「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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUriMTnNt6L
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VThLuRdZi
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzhHkEKQYu
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDZQy3tsak
「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，」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JNsA1tsXV
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa7BtAgm6H
他笑著飲了一大口酒，奇異的熱流燒灼著他。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO626Oin82
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmIZtN3td7
一定是酒，令他醺醺然。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ423xNz4t4S
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeDiQVYQTu
「先皇命令你們玩樂？」湖衣一臉不可置信。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUIXzd35fX
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPWKhnBwbQ
「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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaCMM164pN
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMilfUIaRY
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlqwzNh25O
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38Q4sj0ZEs
「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？」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK8Pj4ltOb
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe2sgaYKrG
她的笑聲如此甜美，溫暖的氣息如雲朵般環繞。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0f0YkvImg
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6uX0eUlZE
「皇上聖旨，豈敢不從？」朱玹笑道。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj4p8wEupF
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhGO7JKswO
見湖衣聽得興味盎然，他再為自己和湖衣添滿酒杯。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZVOJASzVc
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMfUmDy6e8
「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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpUZKlGwdi
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFW9cYzwMR
湖衣笑著說：「先皇肯定是怕你們把馬匹都給壓垮了。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3U5y7glqP
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1fTxeFxen
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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBVNwr2vV6
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhlHismJye
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cn7FQFyXl
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1gIWG25wv
「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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmAxTbRLdD
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwqQmklxED
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3vLqljv7E
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN7N6b16d6
「我早已不打獵了。」他說。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMoeYuNb9b
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYMMR9eJqH
除了她，朱玹不曾對任何人說及往事。 270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkTuTgzGuy
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa5hcjBNBa
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iVrYYrbsr
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmtVB8peff
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPS29PN6Ya
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiYLuUdod1
「王爺，我……」她欲言又止。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qt3qZvsMh
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzOpU8HFf4
「不要緊，」他撫摸她的髮絲和臉頰，「這些都是陳年往事了。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbHZ430kdS
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0A7JanVUa
湖衣迷茫地抬起頭，與朱玹目光相觸，驀地心中一滯。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiROy59WVc
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxtdz8WVwr
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIHxWbQjTO
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBUO7vv5Zz
她一口飲盡杯中殘酒。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXaFJWXMUY
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uy5MOFhOs
「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？」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIELoCXSpoz
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjhl3Ltm4V
「好。」他低聲說。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6kGo5u8hR
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZBp8OZiWl
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf7t9ADtvk
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4qHcMGlpo
令人窒息的長吻後，她全身輕輕顫抖。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k9wTs2qa7
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9ilAvvv20
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0ushSg2eN
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk949QSwofB
「別走……」她嬌喘著央求他，如攀浮木般緊緊抱住他的頸脖。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiP4s8VlIs
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu4gc25TAo
「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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d0j1zbbS5
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrLyoqzW03
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xObRpklhr
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eKWXdRCCL
春宵苦短，多等一刻都是辜負，他覆在她身上，與她合而為一。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvum4a4PsF
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4bg7WggLF
愛至深處的疼痛，使她朦朧了雙眼。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk8kPX1IPk
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3rigmo5z3
「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。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KgR7OUEsv
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUkg9pHrRD
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFLdyXVFnC
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJchbrSyTn
他在她耳邊喃喃地說：「我絕不會，再拋下妳。」270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrlQlTXC1L
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf1pOL6mN0
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9dJ0Lk9WX
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbstchne7Dm
她環住他，貼在他的唇邊、臉頰、耳際細細親吻。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeGdJcd1Al
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgAuVuWVEb
他們與世隔絕，不知今夕何夕。夜，隨之沉默。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMlzPvnXlf
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxb77Z6QJg
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q2SpZ8vIJ
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KR0AAolEB
還有喘息，與低微的呻吟，久久不息。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC9UwOP7pp
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld0RojQLgx
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGgbt5dmRI
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE2Soe1Pwr
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzO3WphF6m
270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6X8nyts3e
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。270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jKHfTELhL
