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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pyDGouq6x

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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKJbJj8cki
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ89u7VxCz
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4AkCCF1An
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tK8gOpxum
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK9hSlihGc
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLAVIUzHCn
昨夜，他們逾越了世俗倫理，再無迴旋的餘地。 344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXELb7bNU4A
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC5kO404mC
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGArqqUxDQS
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFZrNVvmzc
「我該回去了。」她垂下頭，不敢看他。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGPxNoDuJz
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ye0AELbGZ
他扶她站起身來，兩人對視，目光膠著許久。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sUkVBCxiK
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S3VdJtDfB
「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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsR1FV2C0z
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytQWnLJzcS
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNioDLjtn5
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcGXVLtbfX
「夜裡風大，別著涼。」他堅持為她披上他的紫貂裘。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G1k3inVSV
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOQlGbNAs7
道別太難，日復一日的相思終成枉然。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDjr2bryXK
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDCwSpc049
最後，她先放開了手，用盡氣力轉過身去，緩步走上林間小徑。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQN8p3EL2p
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvBfehKDxu
「等等！」朱玹喚住她。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZCqEK0WCd
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQXkLfwY8C
她停下腳步，站在離他有些距離的地方，回眸。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUvxzgGd4d
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrUczeM7hd
「妳再堅持一會兒，我，」他頓了一下，「定不負妳。」344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGNwBnCUbh
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL9sCitVjz
她輕輕微笑，點了點頭。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr51UyHxtQ0
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLQzEnMzX9
他凝望著她離去的背影，良久。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wCvqyLvU0
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD8w93pN7O
一片低厚的烏雲遮蔽星空，起風了，稍晚必然會有雨。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmJvkmLABi
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNDxA8z3Ck
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zQSMxqMoj
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR6A9p9jWo
生平第一次，就一次，他想忠於本心，擁抱摯愛的女子。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYlFW21WHX

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――344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1waGAFy00
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qjKm77E0f
要以此交換湖衣的自由之身。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPqw543DuW
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc60l3iU7hy
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjFkf0fEA6
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5x34Z84hF
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKdMOt5Udc
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqZ27QMX5G
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcGBM54lz9
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPnVcCt43h
湖衣既以心相許，他必不相負。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaufQ9jp7w

朱玹回過頭，是司衛劉熙。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaYPpdBUVZ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAvw7UJ64V
「護衛兵方才回報，那名『宮女』，現已安全回到行宮。」劉熙回報。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoNqVTj8i8
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSeATeJj4h
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwZRtAWe39
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4Wq4Ak9Q5
「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。」344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6CWipFu0s
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYlGtQshSu
「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。」344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuML1Z6DgrC

是誰欲與他和神機營為敵？344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡler7QlAa0F

不，神機營火力強大，無論甚麼樣的猛獸都討不了好去。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC4hCZlzhY
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrrppWRSmE
目標是湖衣。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6H8oS5fo7
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDFpCEtrjB
有人要置她於死，偽造成獵場中遭受黑熊攻擊的假象。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EqVlp02be
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNCBBPN5S9
是貴妃。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAhdNqSdbw
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1lebRz1uO
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjGcp7HtdH
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XLl2duznI
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarWAzJlsUc
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5B23QtlJq
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLQjB3LCrT
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI1OJQTEoF
「為防有變，全營即刻整裝，前往行宮護駕。」朱玹下令。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELJyVPyr3h

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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlDKDCi4lB
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrWBWVUVOL
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7YVJomrm9
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcb4erfvia
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgYKbPgU7d
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnsIzbRYFG
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9LC7LUYAd
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyy2LQBUnA
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyqt3eOq49
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIUXjRQEKt
晚點兒會下雨。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6Z9F656Bk

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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHcnxfD3EX
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXyXqJIAqR
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FUskMvnVu
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt2wj79AHw
「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。」344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7Kg6T0K1M
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmPokYb09L
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9ZouuuwKR
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZIOcfKZ7V
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJuxRIGTjR
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7M3sXmzJR
湖衣不禁心生好奇。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30j9XyRX27
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymnKF4wxs8
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYza74uGmsG
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mvYb2UwLI
那麼，為皇上侍寢的是誰？344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa7ad7Wu8b
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXYLhodYDP
「娘娘，這……」張敏走到湖衣面前，試圖擋下她。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAm0vb9F2S
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKuBXbaPuH
湖衣以自認最凶狠的眼神瞪了他一眼，「你敢攔我。」344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRZc4J0jry
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp8FqbLYaC
「老奴不敢。」張敏低頭作揖。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyVDXhmjAi
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5FbZkm6lI
湖衣不理會張敏，逕自走上階梯。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ4VPcHTdl
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKej3ZxHSSe
張敏見攔阻不成，也不再多言，悶著頭退到殿門一側。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogMHswKS8S
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BPcbMz0bH
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrDE9FDJZg
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutNmXsMAdT
「喔，慢點，對，就是這樣，喔，使勁……」女人毫不掩飾自己的呻吟聲。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NlV2TnVJA
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaIQEstvG7
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX1dBhX5Jv
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNi6bQG4t0
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh0b8Jq1xD
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4CUNZNtDh
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oDVmxgHUF
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY18AoE2Tg
「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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9FFRjNIyc
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCzirZyiRL
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl6wqpKPzZ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zYFf19FHp
那是……344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBJMIc0OnG

乳汁？皇上在吸吮萬貴妃的乳汁！344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNTDKIsyOD
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuejVLbQBi
湖衣驚呆了半晌，直到聽見高亢的吟叫，她才踉蹌地往後退。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hfAGuAKgB
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40ux9QHkBw
「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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv1kmZWuKs
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe1XAGHef7
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzVpEk30Ol
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPOSnWUUSE
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC5AP1Jgmo
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx9m0XnvpD
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI2Lnp81p8
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1CNVMHWim
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。344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSxSa2SWBL
