Liu Cundao no longer called her a witch, not only because Wu Meir didn't want to hear it, but also because he felt sympathy for her. After all, she was the child's mother.
Moreover, he felt that the audacious Wu Meir had gone crazy, and she might even tell the matter between the two of them in public out of anger.
It wasn't that he was worried that Liu Xian and some insiders would curse him in their hearts, but mainly because he felt embarrassed and he had no idea how to deal with this matter for the time being.
"What else can I do? We are old friends after all. You went outside the palace to quell the rebellion, so of course I stayed in the palace to protect your loved ones."
"If it weren't for this, why would I have brought them all to Shouning Palace, away from the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where it is extremely vulnerable to attack? Look, I have protected these people well. You should be thanking me."
Wu Meir holds the initiative. Although everyone knows it, she doesn't want to say too much, so as to save Liu Cundao's face to the greatest extent possible.
After all, if they came to a fight, she wouldn't be able to defeat even Liu Cundao alone.
Liu Cundao snorted coldly: "Why did you hurt Lao Si? Is there anyone who is as protective as you?"
Hearing this, Wu Meir remained calm and continued, "Don't say such harsh words. I just imprisoned him. I had no choice. You know, he regards me as an enemy, and his brain is not very smart. He didn't listen to my explanation at all, so I had to resort to this last resort."
"He has a really disgusting mouth. If it weren't for your sake, I would at least want to cut off his tongue."
"you…"
Liu Cundao was so angry that he was speechless. He said that the fourth brother was not very smart and he was careless and was tricked into leaving the palace. So, wasn't it also a roundabout way of saying that he was also a fool?
In fact, Wu Meir didn't mean that, but she couldn't hide her guilty conscience.
"You're so old, why are you still so impulsive?"
"If I get angry and my body gets damaged, I'll be very sad."
Wu Meir spoke to Liu Cundao in a gentle voice, and it was obvious that she was trying to ease the atmosphere in the room.
Liu Cundao felt inexplicably pleased, but he also felt that he didn't believe that he was really concerned about him. He had already been fooled once, so this might be another smokescreen.
After a pause, Liu Cundao continued, "Well, since you are here to protect His Majesty, and now that the rebellion outside has been quelled by me, you can leave."
"Why, the great elder of Dayao is so stingy, he used me and didn't even say thank you, he just wanted to get rid of me and drive me away?"
When Wu Meir heard Liu Cundao's words, she felt secretly delighted as she had expected that Liu Cundao did not want to make their affairs public.
Just kidding, big things are about to succeed, I can’t leave no matter what.
Moreover, Wu Meir could even more clearly conclude how much Liu Cundao valued his only daughter in the world.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Liu Cundao could tolerate Wu Meir was naturally mostly because of the daughter he had yet to meet.
Although Liu Xian and Liu Hui were also his relatives, they were too far away from each other. Compared with his own biological daughter, the importance of them was obviously different.
Taoist Priest Liu Cun breathed a sigh of relief. It was easier to invite a god than to send him away. He decided to compromise and pay for his mistake.
"Well, in that case, let's not beat around the bush. Tell me what you want."
Wu Meir smiled slightly: "I didn't mean to do anything. In fact, considering our past friendship, it's just a piece of cake. I didn't want to take credit for it. It's just that His Majesty the Emperor insisted that I stay in the palace for a while."
"You know that when the two countries were at war, I put a curse on him..."
At this point, Wu Meir slowed down her speech with a meaningful tone, and said slowly: "Since the two of us have made peace, I will try to find a way to remove the restrictions for your emperor."
Naturally, only Liu Cundao understood the meaning of Wu Meir's last words. It was obvious that she was hinting to him that if he stayed in the palace, she might send her daughter to him one day if she was happy.
Liu Cundao hesitated for a moment, then replied, "If you can really help His Majesty remove the restrictions on his body, I will naturally thank you very much."
After a brief consideration, he decided to agree temporarily.
Moreover, Liu Cundao knew very well in his heart that since Wu Meir was able to do this, she must have been fully prepared, and it was something he had no choice about. He couldn't just act on impulse and disregard the lives of the younger generations of his Liu family.
People who practice asceticism take oaths very seriously. He has sworn to promise that unless he leaves this plane, he will protect Dayao's kingdom even if it costs his life.
Wu Meir smiled, "The Great Elder is indeed very righteous. Thank you very much."
"Also, I know that the elders are all pure cultivators, so just leave your Majesty's affairs to me..."
It's obvious that she is giving you the order to leave, meaning that you old guys should just do what you are supposed to do.
Indeed, Liu Cundao would not interfere in the affairs of the court unless there were special circumstances.
Liu Cundao did not say much, but just said to Liu Xian: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured to recuperate. I will ensure that no one will do anything wrong in the imperial city."
After saying this, he turned around and left.
…
"The first thing is done. Next, let's talk about the second most urgent thing..."
