This... Lu You was speechless for a moment.

Of course he can answer this question, and I believe that there will be no other person in this world who is more qualified to answer this question than him.However, it was obvious that Liu Mowei definitely did not want to hear his answer.

But the more it was like this, the more Lu You felt like he was stuck in his throat and couldn't spit out.

"some."

He nodded in a strange way: "Mr. Tang already has someone he likes, and he has a very strong relationship."

When saying these words, Lu You deliberately observed Liu Mowei's reaction.As expected, the girl's face turned slightly pale, but she returned to normal in an instant.

"Then... what kind of girl is that?"

That's not a girl - Lu You still held back those words and shook his head at Liu Mowei.

"I heard that he grew up with Tang Ruilang when he was a child, and his father was also an official. Others... I don't know much about it."

He didn't want to boast, but this sentence was at least ok to say.

"I see."

Liu Mowei's expression had completely dimmed, but she still calmly thanked Lu You before turning around and leaving.

Seeing the girl's back gradually drifting away, a flash of unbearableness suddenly flashed in Lu You's heart.

In all fairness, he didn't dislike this girl.To prevent her from getting close to Rui Lang, it might be more effective to warn Rui Lang; besides, if she is really the daughter of Tianwu palace maid, it would be even less wise to provoke her.

But rationality is rationality, and unbearable is unbearable, but Lu You knew in his heart that if he did it all over again, he might still give the same answer.

After leaving the Fragrant Grass Valley, Lu You returned to the small courtyard.It was late, and he began to help Xiao Shizi get up to wash and freshen up.Just after breakfast, Swiss Franc next door knocked on the door, and the three of them walked back to the palace where they had the banquet yesterday.

Here, the chariots and horses for going up the mountain have been prepared.At this moment, they were about to leave for the highest point of Tianwu Mountain.In the Mingtai Hall on the top of the mountain, Zhao Rongze will face the most precious treasure of the Ning Dynasty—the Shuiyun Mirror, and pray to God for the health of Emperor Huiming.

After everyone waited for a while, Qi Yunchu, who lives elsewhere, also appeared, and the chariots and horses began to slowly go up the mountain road.

"How much longer?" Lu You asked.

"More than half an hour." Tang Ruilang said: "But you will definitely not feel bored, just keep your eyes open and watch."

Just as he was speaking, the carriage turned a corner, and the mountain road ahead suddenly turned into a thick gable wall.If you look closely, there is a big hole in the rock, the inside is dark and seeping.

When the car reached the front of the mountain, the driver took out the wind lamp, lit it and hung it on the shaft of the car.

With the light, Lu You saw that there were many stalactites and stalagmites in the cave, which were obviously formed naturally.There are also gurgling springs falling from the heights of the cave, converging into a waterfall and falling into the dark pool.The roaring noise reverberated in the cave, as if an evil dragon was locked inside.

Lu You was terrified, and unconsciously grabbed Tang Ruilang's arm.Rui Lang seemed to be saying something joking, but he couldn't hear clearly.

The carriage moved forward slowly in the cave, and after about a stick of incense, the sky was finally seen again in front of it.Only then did Lu You hear clearly, Tang Ruilang said that they had already crossed the halfway up the mountain just now, and walked a long way up.

Not long after leaving the cave, the carriage returned to the old winding mountain road.Looking out from the left, the boundless sea of ​​clouds has fallen at their feet.The pile of snow-like clouds, wave after wave, until the end of the far invisible sky.

"Am I right?" Tang Ruilang said with a smug look, "At this moment, we are already in the sky."

The carriage drove along the clear water ditch by the side of the road, and passed by the huge sword quenching pool of the Bingzao Division and the small buildings of the Teaching Division on the way.The higher you go, the colder the temperature becomes, and the vegetation gradually becomes scarcer.

When Lu You couldn't help but put on the thick cloak that Tang Ruilang specially prepared, the outside of the car became densely covered with fog, and hoarfrost slowly began to appear on the ground, which soon turned into real snow.

The Mingtai Hall is hidden in the depths of this dense fog that never disperses all year round.

When the car drove to the Xima Stone, everyone changed to walk.Lu You walked forty or fifty steps forward along the bluestone road, when he suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water.I saw a pool of unfrozen springs embedded in the snow-capped ground. The blue and calm water surface was like a mirror, reflecting the mysterious and beautiful Mingtai Palace ahead.

"This is the spring pool where the Taizu's envoy discovered the Shuiyun Mirror."

Tang Ruilang pointed out to him a small open space in the middle of the pool, on which stood a small palace that seemed to be made of pure gold, presumably it should be exactly like Mingtai Palace.

In front of Mingtai Hall is a flat stone platform made of white marble, with stone men and horses standing on both sides, all covered with snow.There is a huge white jade incense burner parked in the center of the front.You can see the curling cigarette smoke rising from the top of the stove, changing various unpredictable patterns; but perhaps because the air is too cold, Lu You didn't smell the slightest aroma.

At this moment, all his attention was focused on the front of the incense burner, as if he saw a "Flower of Gaoling" standing on the top of Xuefeng.

During these years of walking in the Zichen Palace, Lu You has seen many women of all kinds, but he has never seen such a noble and pure woman.

She looked to be about 25 or [-] years old. She was dressed in a snow-like robe with a black headgear covered with patterns of crane feathers embroidered with silver thread.Her hair was full of blue hair, and she only pulled a simple bun and tied it with a silver crown.There was no makeup on her face, and only two drops of water essence dangled from her ears. On the contrary, she completed a bit of indifference and elegance, giving people a kind of solemn respect out of thin air.

Without Swiss Lang's reminder, Lu You knew that this was Zhao Xiangyi, the eldest princess of Emperor Huiming, who was also the master of the Mingtai Hall of Tianwu Palace and the person in charge of Shuiyunjing.Back then, Prince Anle hid in Tianwu Palace under the guise of escorting her up the mountain.

Right now, Lu Youruilang and the others stopped on the stone platform, only Qi Yunchu escorted Zhao Rongze to move on until he came to the incense burner.

Xiao Shizi looked up at the strange aunt, and bowed his hands in a dignified salute.Zhao Xiangyi and Qi Yunchu nodded, took Zhao Rongze's little hand gently with one hand, turned around and walked towards Mingtai Hall.

When they walked up to Yuchi, the male and female servants standing on the left and right immediately pushed open the door of the palace.

Accompanied by the heavy opening sound of the ancient wooden door, Lu You swore that for a moment, he saw a dazzling white light emanating from the depths of the dark hall!

However, in just the blink of an eye, that ray of light disappeared without leaving any traces, leaving only a dark and dim chaos, somewhat resembling the gloomy cave they passed through just now.

After a short period of shock, Lu You secretly observed the reactions of other people, but no one seemed to show the same shock as him.

After Zhao Rongze entered the palace, Mingtai Palace was closed again.The clan ceremonies in the hall are unknown to outsiders.And the accompanying people who were left outside the temple also had to complete another set of blessing rituals that were not complicated.

Lu You followed behind Qi Yunchu and Tang Ruilang, and acted according to their actions, which was boring but would not make any mistakes.After tossing like this for more than half an hour, the surrounding thick fog dispersed a little, and the ceremony was finally over.The people who were already shivering with cold couldn't wait to leave the top of the mountain and return to the mountainside by chariot and horse.

Only Lu You was left behind, waiting for orders from Mingtai Palace at any time.
