"My husband has loved martial arts since he was young, and the princess, influenced by Prince Guangping, is particularly fond of martial arts. That day, the princess sneaked out and unfortunately met bandits on the road. Fortunately, A Yue passed by at the time, and he and the princess joined forces to subdue the bandits. At that time, the emperor also gave rewards and commendations, saying that A Yue was brave and resourceful, and was worthy of being a good man of Daxing."

Luo Yun smiled bitterly.

"Everyone thinks that it was Ah Yue who saved the beauty, but the princess had lived with Prince Guangping in Nanguang since she was a child. She was just an ordinary weak girl. At that time, the princess was trapped by the bandits and was in trouble to escape. Ah Yue helped her. Although Ah Yue was brave, the princess was not inferior to Ah Yue and fought bravely against the enemy."

Jiang Tunan exclaimed in his heart, what a heroine.

"Since then, the princess often went to Ah Yue to learn martial arts. At first, Ah Yue thought the princess was obsessed with martial arts and happily accepted the invitation every time. It was not until the princess later expressed her feelings that Ah Yue suddenly realized what was going on and rejected the princess in panic."

Jiang Tunan: This is why I treat you as my sister, but you want to be my wife?

"Since then, A Yue has often avoided the princess. The princess naturally did not agree, so she tried every possible way to see A Yue, and sometimes even climbed the wall of the Xiao Mansion."

Jiang Tunan's eyes widened. This princess was truly extraordinary. In this society that was so harsh on women, she had such a temperament. She must have been very much loved by her family. Jiang Tunan said,

"This princess is such a straightforward person. I admire such people. If I have the chance, I really want to meet her!"

In such a society, this princess is really a very brave girl.

Hearing Jiang Tunan's words, Luo Yunqing felt a little lonely.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to see her again in this lifetime. The princess...she's gone."

Jiang Tunan was surprised. How could such a woman be so unlucky? Just as he was about to ask the reason, he heard Luo Yunqing speak.

"That day, the princess stopped Ah Yue at the gate of the mansion and asked about the reason. Ah Yue didn't want to answer at first, but seeing that the matter was getting bigger and bigger, he had no choice but to tell the princess that he already had a lover."

Speaking of this, Luo Yunqing became even sadder.

"The princess pressed him to know which girl she was from, but Ah Yue refused to tell her, saying that he was afraid that the princess would hurt his beloved. The princess was furious after hearing this, and turned around to ride out of the city. However, on the way, a carriage met the princess head-on, and the princess was unable to dodge and got hurt."

Jiang Tunan asked,

"The princess is gone just like that?"

Luo Yun shook his head slightly.

"The carriage was rescued in time, and the princess only had a broken leg, and no vital injuries. But..."

Luo Yunqing seemed to be hesitant.

"After the princess' fracture, it never recovered. It's really strange. The imperial physician clearly said that the bone had healed, but the princess just didn't get better. And I also heard that the princess's injured part was in unbearable pain every night. The princess almost wanted to end her life several times."

Jiang Tunan said inexplicably,

"So evil?"

It’s not about whether what she is wearing is a romance novel or a supernatural novel, it’s endless, right?

Luo Yunqing nodded solemnly.

"Later, I happened to meet the princess once, and she was so thin that she looked unrecognizable."

Jiang Tunan thought that abnormal weight loss in a short period of time might be a sign of a serious illness, which is clinically called cachexia.

"Could the princess have been harmed by someone?"

"Be careful what you say."

Luo Yun gently dismissed the servants around him and said softly,

"At that time, Princess Guangping did suspect that someone was plotting against the princess, but several imperial doctors diagnosed that the princess had no signs of poisoning, but her pulse became weaker day by day. Later, Princess Guangping sent someone to find the genius doctor Wen Zhao. After the diagnosis, the genius doctor Wen said that the princess had a disease, and at that time the princess was already terminally ill and there was no way to save her. She didn't have much time left."

Jiang Tunan guessed in his heart that if it was true as Doctor Wen said, then the princess might have a very serious illness, which developed so quickly in a short period of time. The first thing Jiang Tunan thought of was a late-stage malignant tumor.

"But what's even more strange is that the princess has been in the military camp with Prince Guangping since she was a child, and she is an excellent horseman. No matter what, she would not have broken her leg. I heard that the princess was fine on the horse, but after jumping off the horse, her calf began to hurt, and then she found out that it was a fracture."

Jiang Tunan understood that this fracture was indeed very strange and could actually cost a person's life. No wonder when Xiao Mingxu dislocated his joint, everyone thought he had a fracture. The whole family looked so nervous because they were afraid that he would be like Princess Tu Shuang.

But just jumping off the horse's back, and the bone was broken? This is too strange. Jiang Tunan thought about it and realized that there is a clinical condition called pathological fracture, which refers to the normal structure and strength of the bone, which is damaged by invasive diseases or destructive lesions, and can be fractured with slight external force or no external force.

If it is a pathological fracture, then that makes sense.

"Sister Yun Qing, did the princess already have symptoms of pain in her calf before? And after the fracture healed, the princess still couldn't walk normally, and even limped?"

Luo Yunqing was a little confused as to why Jiang Tunan asked this, but he still told the truth.

"I don't know if the princess had this symptom before, but she was indeed unable to walk and never left the house again."

That makes sense. The most common cause of pathological fractures is bone tumors. Among bone tumors, osteosarcoma has a high mortality rate, and osteosarcoma is more common in young people, the same age as the princess. In addition, due to limb pain, patients may experience pain-avoiding claudication, and over time, peripheral joint movement may be restricted.

Judging from the situation, the princess was most likely to have died from osteosarcoma.

"Ugh."

Jiang Tunan sighed softly. The mortality rate of osteosarcoma is quite high, not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times. Moreover, the most susceptible groups of osteosarcoma are all teenagers. They are troubled by the disease at the best age of their lives and finally die in pain.

"Xiao Nan, what's wrong? Do you know what disease the princess has?"

Luo Yun looked at Jiang Tunan's understanding expression and asked,

"I'm just guessing, but even if it's the disease I think it is, there's no cure."

Luo Yunqing also sighed.

"That's right, the dead are gone, there is no point in saying more."

"But what does this have to do with the Xiao Mansion? Why did Princess Guangping target the Xiao Mansion?"

Jiang Tunan thought, could it be that Princess Guangping was holding a grudge against her because her daughter died of hatred because she could not get the love she wanted, and therefore wanted revenge?

"Because, when Princess Tu Shuang was seriously ill, Princess Guangping asked A Yue to marry the princess, but A Yue refused. Princess Guangping was furious and wanted to punish A Yue. Later, Princess Tu Shuang refused to marry, so the matter was dropped. In the end, the princess died of depression, and Princess Guangping took out her grief for losing her daughter on A Yue, asking him to be buried with Princess Tu Shuang."

Jiang Tunan had a conclusion in his mind. As expected, love makes people crazy.

"What happened later?"

We can't really let a living person be buried with the dead, and besides, isn't Xiao Mingyue fine now?

"Later, Princess Guangping was furious and led the palace soldiers to surround the Xiao Mansion. In order to protect the other people in the Xiao Mansion, Ayue almost committed suicide at the door of the Xiao Mansion. In the end, the emperor and the queen mother stepped in and the matter was settled. Later, Princess Guangping was sent back to Nanguang County and never came to Kyoto again. But even though it was said to be sent back, I feel like Princess Guangping went back on her own."

Jiang Tunan thought to himself that the Princess of Guangping was really reckless. Although losing her beloved daughter was pitiful, she was so bold as to lead people to surround the residence of an imperial official without any scruples.

But even though she was extremely bold, nothing happened to her. Even now that she has returned to Kyoto, she can still show off her power and embarrass the Xiao family.

"Then... Is the Xiao Mansion in trouble now?"

Jiang Tunan thought to herself, could this be one of the protagonist's tribulations? The best part of this kind of plot is sacrificing some small cannon fodder, so should she stay away from it?

"I don't know either. I'll have to wait for Ah Yue to come back and ask him about this in detail."

Luo Yunqing's expression was solemn, with worry clouds between his brows.

"Don't worry, Sister Yun Qing, everything will be fine."

Jiang Tunan didn't know how to comfort Luo Yunqing, so he could only comfort her dryly.

"I'm fine, I'm just worried that Ayue might feel burdened and that he might..."

I’m afraid that he will do something to hurt himself in order not to bring trouble to his family.

Jiang Tunan was speechless and didn't know how to start. Luo Yunqing saw that Jiang Tunan was in trouble and said softly,

"Lunch is almost over. Xiaonan, you should go back and rest. You are just starting to feel better, so you need to pay more attention to yourself."

Jiang Tunan knew that Luo Yunqing wanted some space to be alone, so he stood up and left without saying anything.

"Sister Yun Qing, I'll go back first. If you have anything that makes you unhappy and want to tell me, send someone to call me and I'll come right over."

Luo Yun nodded with a smile.

"understood."

Jiang Tunan and Chunhua left Fufeng Courtyard and walked towards their own courtyard.

"I must take a good nap today!"

Jiang Tunan pushed open the gate and spoke loudly.

But he saw Xiao Mingrui standing in the yard. He was wearing a black robe and had his hair tied up in a high ponytail, which made him look quite fierce.

"I'm sorry, I went the wrong way."

Jiang Tunan closed the door, turned around and left.

"Jiang Tunan, come back."
