Xue Qingshang smiled and looked at Yu Jiao's tender face. "People say that Miss Liu San is an excellent doctor. I think a little cold won't cause any harm to Miss Liu San. It's just a coincidence today. I wanted to ask Master Yu to meet you, but it's better to meet by chance than to invite each other."

Yu Jiao glanced at Yu Qizhe and saw that his expression did not change at all. She did not know how he was related to this County Lady Xue. She asked Xue Qingshang, "Why did the County Lady want to see me?"

"My elder sister has long heard that Liu Cifu found his lost daughter, and also heard that your medical skills are more sophisticated than those of the imperial doctors in the palace. She really wants to meet you." Xue Qingshang raised her chin slightly, and her voice was filled with a hint of nobility when she mentioned Concubine Xue. "I will take you to the palace tomorrow."

She did not ask Yu Jiao's opinion, but made the final decision.

Concubine Xue wanted to see her, which was a little beyond Yu Jiao's expectation. She originally thought that Xue Qingshang was not feeling well, but she didn't expect that it was the little Concubine Xue who was the most favored in the harem. Since the Concubine wanted to see her, Yu Jiao had no room to refuse.

Xue Qingshang no longer looked at Yu Jiao, but turned her head to look at Yu Qizhe, and said to him with a smile, "You have been bored at home reading books all day, you should take a break occasionally. Today is the Lantern Festival, there is a lantern festival on Chang'an Street, and there are lion dances and acrobatics, it is very lively, Mr. Yu Wu, do you want to go with me to guess lantern riddles?"

It was after the first day of the new year that Xue Qingshang heard from others that Yu Qizhe had some connection with the Liu family. Today, she came to Yu Qizhe to visit the Lantern Festival together, under the pretext of asking him to help pass a message to Liu Yujiao.

After hearing this, Yu Jiao subconsciously looked towards Yu Qizhe. When her eyes fell on his face, she restrained herself and retracted her gaze, and said to Yu Fuling beside her, "Sister Fuling, let's go."

Yu Fuling looked at Xue Qingshang and Yu Qizhe hesitantly, and seeing that Yu Jiao had turned around, she hurriedly followed them.

After Yu Jiao turned around, she couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart. She knew that when she looked at Yu Qizhe just now, she was expecting something. She just wanted to hear him reject Xue Qingshang's invitation.

But why should she think like this? She and Yu Qizhe are over. She has no reason and no right to stop him from liking someone else or accompanying someone else to the lantern festival.

When Yu Jiao got on the carriage, she couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the two of them with her peripheral vision, pretending to be indifferent. In her peripheral vision, Xue Qingshang seemed a little disappointed, and walked towards the carriage with her maid, while Yu Qizhe was still standing there. He seemed to look up in the direction of Yu Jiao, and Yu Jiao lowered her eyes and got into the carriage.

When Yu Fuling got on the carriage, she found that there were so many people in it. She originally wanted to say something to Yu Jiao, but when she saw Liu Ziqi was also there, she had to swallow her words. After greeting everyone one by one, she sat next to Yu Jiao.

The carriage left Kanjing Hutong. Liu Yaoyu lifted the curtain and saw Xue Qingshang's carriage moving. She couldn't help but ask Yu Jiao, "What does County Master Xue want you to do?"

"County Lady Xue said that Imperial Concubine Xue wants to see me." Yu Jiao had originally planned to tell a few people about this. She had never been to the palace before, and she didn't know why Imperial Concubine Xue suddenly wanted to summon her into the palace.

"Imperial Concubine Xue wants to see you?" Liu Yaoyu frowned. "Our family has never had much contact with the Xue family. Why would she want to summon you for no reason?"

Yu Jiao shook her head, "County Lady Xue didn't say." She looked at Liu Ziqi.

Liu Ziqi patted Yu Jiao's head soothingly, "It's okay. Did she say when she wants you to enter the palace?"

"County Lady Xue said she would pick me up tomorrow." Yu Jiao said.

"Then I'll go with you tomorrow." Liu Yaoyu said without thinking.

Yu Jiao felt warm in her heart. With such a brother and sister protecting her, she couldn't help but smile. She was no longer nervous about entering the palace tomorrow.

Yu Fuling also knew that she had caused trouble for Yu Jiao, so she said carefully, "I heard from County Master Xue that Imperial Concubine Xue has been feeling unwell recently, so she wanted to ask Yu Jiao to come to the palace to help with the diagnosis."

Yu Jiao knew in her heart that Yu Fuling could not be blamed for this matter. Xue Qingshang had previously found Chen Guan to pass on a message, but she refused on the pretext of illness. Perhaps it was because Qingliu and the Shen party were not in harmony that Xue Qingshang did not go directly to the Liu Mansion, but came to find Yu Qizhe.

When Concubine Xue wanted to summon her into the palace, Yu Jiao could find an excuse to avoid her for a while, but when Concubine Xue lost her patience and ordered the eunuchs in the palace to come to Liu's house to deliver a message, she would be unable to avoid it.

When Liu Ziqi heard that it was a medical examination, his brows slightly raised. There were a lot of secretive matters in the palace, especially when treating an important person. If it was a headache or fever, it would be fine, but if it was something else, there would be even more complications.

Concubine Xue did not seek help from the imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau, but instead summoned a little girl named Yu Jiao to the palace for medical consultation, which made people think too much.

Yu Jiao suddenly became clear-headed, and a thought flashed through her mind, "Big Brother, I remember you said that Concubine Xue has not given birth to a prince in these years, so has there ever been any news that she is pregnant?"

"I've never heard of it." Liu Ziqi obviously understood what Yu Jiao was talking about. Xue Rong was not very old and was well maintained. Even though she had a fondness for the Fourth Prince, he was not her own son after all. Xue Rong naturally wanted a child of her own.

The fact that Xue Rong was able to extend her hand to the previous dynasty through Shen Tian shows her ambition. She would never allow the throne to fall into the hands of others in the future.
