There were acne marks on his face, as well as pimples that had just grown.

In order to make her face and skin without color difference, she smeared the soul of lead all over her body.

When Liu Guiren wrapped her hands around the back of her neck to untie the rope of her belly pocket, she saw that her ribs were bruised and purple, and her rib bones were seriously deformed.

Liu Guiren's hand slid along his curve.

She put on her coat and looked at herself in the mirror.

Although she has been so thin that she is only skinny.

Although her posture has been severely deformed.

But in her mind, she recalled her own flesh and blood many years ago.

Before entering the palace, she was such a proud and confident woman because of her excellent appearance and good family.

But after entering the palace, the man in the Longxuan Hall destroyed her self-confidence little by little.

Slowly, she became a humble woman.

When did she become so humble?

At first, he entered the palace in order to advance and retreat with his family.

So far, it has ended up with a loss to the family.

Liu Guiren looked at himself in the mirror.

She set her eyes on the tulip that was tattooed around her waist.

The emaciated hand caressed the flower, too.

Previously, this flower was meant to cover the caesarean scar and was the icing on the cake.

But now, due to the change in her figure, the flower has long lost its former beauty.

Come to think of it, it seems that it was this scar that made her lose herself and humble to the extreme.

knew that the emperor was an indifferent and ruthless person, but she lost herself step by step for him.

First, I got a tattoo on my waist and abdomen.

At that time, after she got a tattoo, she clearly felt that the emperor's favor for her had increased.

Now that I think about it, it was all just a coincidence.

When the emperor favored her, it happened to be her father who made great contributions in the previous dynasty.

But she blamed it on the effects of her self-harming beauty.

Then she became more and more addicted, and then she smeared her skin with the soul of lead.

Later, she was out of shape because she gave birth to the fifth prince.

And in order to maintain her delicate figure, she actually wore a hundred-button shirt.

Although the 100-button dress will make her body curvy and make her waist sway when she walks, it will also severely deform her ribs.

Gradually, the long-term waist binding led to infection of the wounds on both ribs, and he also contracted lung disease.

In addition, the hundred-button shirt was made of sterling silver, and her internal organs were punctured after the ribs were compressed.

Now just standing for a while, Liu Guiren began to tremble, sweating on his forehead.

The crooked willow eyebrows frowned, and his breathing became rapid.

The pimples on my body were itchy and painful, and my internal organs were stinging again and again.

"Master, you better sit down and rest for a while." The palace maid hurriedly helped Liu Guiren to sit down again, and buttoned Liu Guiren's clothes.

Liu Guiren closed his eyes and sat back in his chair panting.

Actually, the pain is not the saddest.

What makes Liu Guiren most sad is that she has paid so much, but she has ended up where she is now.

The palace maid saw that Liu Guiren looked weak, and felt that Liu Guiren might be dying.

"Master, you haven't seen the Five Princes for a few days, why don't you go and help you call the Five Princes?"

If you don't call the five princes over today, I'm afraid that the master and the five princes will never see each other again.

Liu Guiren shook his head weakly, "Don't... Don't call him over......"

Palace maid: "But you're sick like this." ”

Liu Guiren: "He's still young, don't scare him with my appearance." ”

Palace maid: "No, the fifth prince is filial to you, no matter what you become, I think he can accept it." ”

Liu Guiren insisted on saying: "As my family Yingrui said, I am the best-looking mother in the harem, and now I look like this, I don't want to be seen by him." ”

"In the emperor's heart, I am a vicious and ugly bad woman, and in my son's heart, I have to leave a good impression on him."

The palace maid pursed her lips, nodded, and had no choice but to respond, "Then the slave maid helped you to the bed and continue to rest, right?" ”

Liu Guiren: "No, I'll just rest here, it's good......"

She just sat back in her chair and felt that her life was quite boring.

It seems that they all live for the man in the Longxuan Palace, take him as loyal in everything, and live for favor.

In retrospect, whatever is unscrupulous for the sake of beauty, it's all fart!

If you lose yourself, no matter how good-looking you are, it's just skin, and it's soulless.

Those methods of self-harm to maintain beauty are even more unhealthy.

But the intrigues of this harem, like the self-harm beauty methods she did, are all chronically disfigured.

If you want to be beautiful, if you want to compete for favor, if you want to delay aging, you must lose yourself.

Liu Guiren sighed deeply.

This person still has to live like himself.

Even when you are older, wrinkles and spots creep up on your face, and that is the most precious thing.

Unfortunately, by the time she came to her senses, it was already too late.

Liu Guiren sat on the chair like this for about a stick of incense.

The palace maid went to the bed to fetch her a blanket, and when she was about to cover her, Liu Guiren's body slid down directly from the chair......

On the same day, the news of Liu Guiren's death spread in the palace.

After discussing with Concubine Wen, it was arranged for Liu Guiren to be buried in the imperial mausoleum in early October.

At the same time, he was busy arranging for doctors from various provinces to transfer doctors from some areas where the plague was stable to places where the plague was more serious for assistance.

There were also some who couldn't stand the plague and begged the court for peace.

The imperial court would sign a treaty with them, and after subduing and confiscating their rights, the Imperial Court would send people to help.

Now that there is a prescription for treatment, and there is a good process for controlling the plague, Tanyan doesn't have to go out in person.

The key is that she has to take Xin Tong with her, and it is inconvenient to do things.

Before, it was the emperor who took Xin Tong with her, but now that the emperor is on the march, she can't leave Xin Tong alone in the palace.

In October, the 600,000-strong army of the northern emperor was also about to reach the Huainan border.

On this day, the King of Huainan and Prince Rui discussed matters in the Huainan Palace.

The uncle and nephew stood beside the sand table, staring at the terrain on the sand table.

The sand table was piled with mud and sand, the boundaries of the land were drawn, and the flags were planted.

Beside them stood one counselor each.

There were only four people in the room, and all four of them stared at the terrain with solemn expressions.

Prince Rui was the first to break the silence: "Tenth Uncle, according to our secret agents, the imperial brother has already approached our Huainan with 600,000 soldiers, but we only have 200,000 troops combined, and we are not his opponent at all." ”

"Afraid of what?" Compared with Prince Rui's anxiety, King Huainan was calm and calm, "Huainan is our territory, and the emperor in the north is not familiar with Huainan, and the king's reinforcements are on the way, and they will arrive in a few days." ”

Prince Rui raised his eyebrows, "Reinforcements? ”

King Huainan wrapped one hand around his chest, and held his chin in the other hand to look at the sand table, "King Xichuan, King Zhao, King Duan and others each sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to this king, adding up to 150,000 troops. ”

Prince Rui frowned, "Then the sum of this and ours is only 350,000 troops." ”
