暖阁內，余音未散。

听见那声“深入了解”，武昭临先是一愣，隨即银牙紧咬，颊染淡緋。

“这混蛋，竟敢……”

深吸一口，高耸的胸脯微微颤抖，武昭临顾不上胸口的那股闷气，强迫自己冷静下来。

她细细咀嚼云无咎刚刚的话。

除了“深入了解”外，最让她在意的，却是那句“一路人”。

这个词像一根刺，瞬间扎入了她的內心。

武昭临凤眸黯然，一时无言。

自她及笄之年登基，至今已近十年。

这期间，她身边的人，要么是需要提防的豺狼，要么是可以利用的棋子。

她一直都是独自一人，走在一条布满荆棘，通往遥远理想的孤独长路上，从未奢望过有谁能真正与她同行。

就连昨日，她那用於诱导云无咎的“一种人”，都是基於內心渴望的下意识之言。

而此刻说出这句话的，偏偏又是这个昨晚刚刚和她……却又看穿她一切的男人。

思虑片刻，她垂下眼眸，对艾瑟珈挥了挥手：

“退下。”

“陛下……”

“朕说退下！”

艾瑟珈沉默片刻，微微躬身：“喏。”

待到灵族女卫退去，暖阁內只余他与她两人。

看见武昭临的反应，云无咎心中悬起的那块石头总算是落了地。

“看来陛下做出了明智的选择，那么……我们结盟吧。”

“结盟”

武昭临先是黛眉微蹙，隨即闭上双眸，嗤笑一声。

片刻，她猛地张开双眼，帝金凤眸中凝聚起光芒。

“云无咎，朕不明白，你有什么资本，什么动机，来与朕结盟！”

“更不用说朕根本看不穿你，你那些连你父亲都不知晓的信息，是从哪儿得来的”

“朕不会把自己的后背，交给一个看不清真面目的魔鬼。”

话音落下，她似乎觉得自己的“拒绝”分量不太够，又补上了一句：

“另外，你別以为昨晚和我那个、那个后，我真就会真的把你当成……”

似是回忆起昨夜的旖旎，女帝话音稍颤，耳根再次染霞。

甚至连“朕”都忘用了。

看著女帝显露的那一丝羞怯与媚態，云无咎心神一漾，思绪不由飞回昨晚二人的“缠斗”。

收敛心神，他从容地端起茶杯，轻轻吹散热气。

“陛下，”他啜饮小口，不急不慢道：“请让我逐个回答。”

“资本，便是我脑海中的信息，至於它们的来源，请容许我暂且保密。”

他顿了顿，放下茶杯，继续道：“而动机……我只是与您一样，不想成为幕后之人的傀儡罢了。”

“即使那人是我的父亲。”

“呵……”

武昭临冷冷一笑，闭口不言，似乎不想再和面前这她看不穿的男人浪费口舌。
