Chapter 253: Master
When Xu Meir heard that the visitor was related to her mother, a look of doubt appeared on her face.
"Master? Where is he?"
The maid who delivered the message immediately replied: "He is outside the palace gate. The queen's people are guarding there. If you agree, I will find a way to let him in."
Xu Meir's heart became a little more interested.
She also wanted to see who the master her mother arranged for her was.
"Find a way to let him into the palace. I want to see him."
"Yes."
The maid immediately got up and went out.
Xu Meir personally applied the medicine to herself and blew on her arm, which was still slightly stinging.
In less than half an hour, Xu Meir saw the true face of the master.
The two of them came to a relatively secluded side hall. Xu Meir, with a veil on her face, stared at the old man standing opposite her in a Taoist robe.
The old man had half-white hair, a haggard face, and deep wrinkles on his face. He looked to be over sixty years old.
"Who is that?"
Xu Meir looked him up and down, and felt that she had never seen him before.
The old man in the Taoist robe walked with a limp.
His forehead was wrapped in a layer of white cloth, and he looked a little wolfish.
However, he still maintained an unfathomable expression, and said coldly: "Imperial Concubine, I have a deep friendship with your mother, Madam Xu. This time I came here at her request to change your fate against the will of heaven."
"Change your fate against the will of heaven? That's interesting."
Xu Meir couldn't help but chuckled with her hands covering her lips.
She was half-believing and half-doubting the old Taoist's words.
"I'm fine now, why do I need to change my fate?"
Xu Meir narrowed her eyes slightly.
Suddenly she thought of some bad things that happened recently.
She slowly clenched her fingers, and looked at the old Taoist in front of her with a deeper look.
She suspected that her fate was indeed changed!
However, it was a not-so-good fate
. The old Taoist said sternly: "According to your fate, you should have been weak and sick since childhood, and there is a sign of early death. If your mother had not invited the old master of my Qingfeng Temple to come out of seclusion, I'm afraid you would not have lived to this day."
After taking a deep breath, Xu Meir still had a gentle smile on her face, "My mother did tell me about this. Are you also a master in Qingfeng Temple?"
The old Taoist shook the whisk in his hand and introduced himself with great momentum.
"The poor Taoist is the current master of Qingfeng Temple, Taoist Qingyi."
Just a few months ago,
Madam Xu suddenly sent someone to find him and gave him enough money to spend the rest of his life. She
said that a woman with a phoenix fate appeared in the imperial city of Beiling State, and asked him to change the fate of this woman to her daughter.
Such a big thing, the old Taoist naturally disagreed at first.
He also knew how much it would cost to change the fate.
However, Madam Xu gave him a very special life-changing talisman paper, saying that someone had made all the preparations in advance, and someone had already paid the price and cause and effect.
As long as he used the Taoist method when he needed it, he would take advantage of the woman's weakest time to take action and burn the talisman paper within a few hundred meters around her.
This matter was too easy for him!
Therefore, after arriving at the imperial city of Beiling State, he followed Madam Xu's instructions and found the palace.
He originally thought that he could successfully change her life by getting the woman's portrait and birth date. As a result, the woman's luck and fate were extremely strong and rare. If he used the talisman forcibly, he would inevitably encounter backlash and shorten his life!
Later, he hid in a teahouse near the palace, waiting and waiting, thinking that he would wait until the woman had an accident before taking action, and delayed her delivery time
. The time has come.
But An Yunxi was well protected. Even when she was giving birth, there were two nobles guarding her.
One was the emperor who unified the world in the previous life.
The other was the god of war who killed countless people on the battlefield in both lives, and the powerful regent of Beiling State.
The child was born smoothly. He calculated that if he missed this opportunity, he would not be able to take action again. Therefore, he had no choice but to try to take action on the child who had just been born and was extremely weak. Anyway, he could see that the children born to women with the Phoenix Fate were definitely extraordinary.
Unfortunately, he was not experienced enough and could not see through it at all.
As a result, he encountered an unprecedented backlash, which made him ten years older overnight. Not only did his luck also suffer an impact, and he almost fell to death when he just went downstairs.
Xu Meir's eyes lit up slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in her voice.
"It turns out to be Taoist Qingyi. I heard my mother tell me about your name. I am so sorry for the disrespect."
She pretended to be polite, and suddenly raised her eyes and asked, "The Taoist came here to tell me that you have successfully changed my fate?" Taoist
Qingyi was silent for a moment when he heard her direct question. He paused for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I want to see the imperial concubine. I want you to do me a small favor."
Xu Meir raised her eyebrows: "What favor? Please tell me, Taoist."
Taoist Qingyi's face twitched: "The life change has not been successful yet. The other party has not left the palace. I have no way to get close to him. Please ask the imperial concubine to put this thing on him."
As he spoke, Taoist Qingyi took out a hairpin from his arms.
The hairpin looked a bit old, obviously an old item.
He lowered his eyes and said, "Princess, whether it will succeed or not depends on you. I'm sure you've realized that things haven't been going well recently. Your current life was stolen. If you still want to live, do as the poor man says."
Xu Meir's heart skipped a beat. She
immediately became serious and took the hairpin in her hand.
She also noticed that something was wrong recently, and felt that bad luck was getting closer and closer to her. If she didn't handle it well, she might really die.
Her mother had planned for so many years just for her to survive and live well. She couldn't let her mother's efforts go to waste.
She was able to become a princess because someone had paid for her fate in the first half of her life.
If she could become the queen of Beiling Kingdom, or even sit on this position steadily, she must have the legendary phoenix fate.
Xu Meir bit her lips and looked at the hairpin in her hand with a deep look.
But suddenly, the old Taoist's eyes fell on a sachet hanging around Xu Meir's waist.
"Princess, what's in your sachet?"
Xu Meir was startled. "It's just some spices that I like. Is it poisonous?"
"Can you show it to me?"
Taoist Qingyi still has some real skills.
At first glance, he could tell that the sachet was not right.
Xu Meir hesitated for a moment, then handed the sachet over. The old Taoist priest opened the drawstring of the sachet and saw something hidden inside the spices.
It was a tattered yellow talisman paper .
