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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwm0tF1g5O

「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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxNGYCarOt
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcONOvwGlg9
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9YBX2d0Ys
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf7xFGHbLK
「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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlA3ACdp2a
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9q7axo2AZ
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnSxEkf5On
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVF1o8s7ZL
「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。」325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2D8NTJ5Fn
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF26pB5NdC
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ONf4lFzPE
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpAwmaP0JP
「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，」325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQN3ayR1ax
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSx3NUwlPP
他笑著飲了一大口酒，奇異的熱流燒灼著他。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRAR1OTxNp
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIIVkV90Pe
一定是酒，令他醺醺然。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna5xljAh1W
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wfsZEQRUz
「先皇命令你們玩樂？」湖衣一臉不可置信。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbIdfYXG7E
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt78Sg7VCuG
「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。」325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUNCxBPR7h
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKFevnRpCR
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFfANlBFQE
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9hfUzXpYW
「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？」325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rQOL969HU
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7wgdZZsc4
她的笑聲如此甜美，溫暖的氣息如雲朵般環繞。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxs3uI43F2
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ATgT12QVq
「皇上聖旨，豈敢不從？」朱玹笑道。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWti0GRS4O
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkvtpO4frc
見湖衣聽得興味盎然，他再為自己和湖衣添滿酒杯。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyRgMmBKYE
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwVqdG7Lz9
「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。」325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Luiytug7r
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsiT429ymg
湖衣笑著說：「先皇肯定是怕你們把馬匹都給壓垮了。」325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhLQvyKnLe
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP6goa8nVV
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。」325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm8sEAxmKy
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto2r3ZLpBp
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdhMK1b4dn
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYmknJ7Hqm
「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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTa3SfopR7
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2rzbPMx2k
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoltumYZHex
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsURUN1eyo
「我早已不打獵了。」他說。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrxpkZqubL
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzQwQEM70T
除了她，朱玹不曾對任何人說及往事。 325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gouYj6y0k
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkY1sbscju
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i4QDdTcut
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSmvnp8rra
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaaVlqEupG
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvsSekPpDI
「王爺，我……」她欲言又止。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazyU1qALOE
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmPDzzI8fd
「不要緊，」他撫摸她的髮絲和臉頰，「這些都是陳年往事了。」325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHffX0Ue9oh
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLa46hz0yq
湖衣迷茫地抬起頭，與朱玹目光相觸，驀地心中一滯。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEqTTQZi6b
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5XhVL1FOe
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxcllQcPEQ
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBulQ3G5pZp
她一口飲盡杯中殘酒。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAnq8j53cw
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UKg09eqkI
「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？」325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gYJm9BOGB
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfZ6vytePX
「好。」他低聲說。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4ovtAORbz
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r5S7MWuV6
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiUg1kNcEw
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQlACnrDF9
令人窒息的長吻後，她全身輕輕顫抖。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nv3Wg7jDT
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AhkxyYYTC
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb00lksQ67X
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbH7e2Gc05
「別走……」她嬌喘著央求他，如攀浮木般緊緊抱住他的頸脖。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpbSjaLP4Z
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O3Q3NUWhe
「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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2Lz7oW3wY
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ePJ9Xm3q
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7shcNfHYYD
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBELGTv0jDY
春宵苦短，多等一刻都是辜負，他覆在她身上，與她合而為一。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzszrU2GT1t
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXsY22H8LO
愛至深處的疼痛，使她朦朧了雙眼。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPKrAARNtl
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgqrIJXJ5C
「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。」325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgclqRGXwdR
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd9uoSO8OE
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhHjN3gko4
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5VIDlG5RX
他在她耳邊喃喃地說：「我絕不會，再拋下妳。」325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc4ouosIDA
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZexHBQI9rK
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4IBvAnPMU
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAvtvE0vEW
她環住他，貼在他的唇邊、臉頰、耳際細細親吻。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmCLxPec8B
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OxfaeIOrg
他們與世隔絕，不知今夕何夕。夜，隨之沉默。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHjT7MWFep
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MgiQcq0tQ
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu57b03T0R
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrV2se64jP
還有喘息，與低微的呻吟，久久不息。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BdInZzh8Q
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12GYmE9Xrd
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMHeoexJPn
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNZduoGYNj
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9yBeUYYtA
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ1FSTbB3o
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。325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDdmSurTtt
