Amor bajo las estrellas lejanas

Capítulo 71

"Did you hear me clearly, firstly?" I held up one finger and said very clearly, "From now on, you are only allowed to love me, to pamper me and not to lie to me, to do everything you promise me, to be sincere in every word you say to me, not to bully me or scold me, to believe me, and to come to my aid immediately if anyone bullies me. When I'm happy, you have to be happy with me, and when I'm unhappy, you have to cheer me up. You must always think I'm the most beautiful, and you must see me in your dreams. In your heart, there is only me."

Minglu was dumbfounded, and everyone else was dumbfounded, except for Fu Jin, who was still hanging around there.

"Dream on," said the young man from Minglu.

“Okay,” I sighed. “Remove the last two lines: you must see me in your dreams, and I am the only one in your heart.”

"No way!" the boy shouted angrily.

"What do you want?" the boy snapped, and I got scared.

"The last three sentences must be removed, including 'I always think you're the most beautiful'!" The boy went crazy.

I was even more terrified, but still fearlessly asked, "Why?!"

"Because I can never do that! Why don't you look in the mirror and see what you look like!"

I don't want to live anymore... After being told that by Minglu the boy, I don't want to live anymore. I cried out, "I will love you, Fu Jin, for the rest of my life. Even if mountains crumble and the heavens and earth unite, I will never say goodbye to you."

"I'm scared of you." Minglu said with a headache, once again pushing away Fu Jin's dawdling body with difficulty.

"Quickly break his spell."

I looked at the calligraphy brush in my hand and suddenly remembered that whatever I wrote seemed to come true, right? Well then, hehe, hehe...

I picked up my pen and wrote: All the handsome men in the world shall obey my every command!

Immediately, everyone around me underwent a dramatic change. From then on, I lived a life of luxury in ancient times, surrounded by handsome men. I could make the emperor fall in love with me, and he would fall in love with me. I could make the prince fall in love with me, and he would be unable to escape my grasp. I could make a beautiful woman secretly love me, and she would be destined for an illicit relationship. OMG!

With a pen in hand, the world is yours!

When I'm bored, I casually ask: Who is the most beautiful person in the world?

The crowd immediately replied obsequiously: "You."

Hahaha... The ultimate pinnacle of time travel!

Ultimately, the story ends with all the handsome men being forced to fall in love with a time-traveling woman named Yotsuba. Over!

Oh wind, oh gale, you'll regret it now, blowing me to ancient times! The ending has been completely altered! Don't blame me~~

The main text describes a strategy of turning the tables.

He weakly said, "Water," his voice so soft it was barely audible.

She jumped in surprise at the sound, her movements making him want to laugh, but instead she coughed a few times. Seeing him cough, she immediately seemed flustered. Nervously leaning towards him, she cautiously whispered, asking what he had just said. Her voice was so soft he could barely hear it, as if afraid of startling him if she spoke too loudly, or perhaps afraid the sound wasn't his but her imagination. Her eyes were so wide that he could almost clearly see his image in them, along with the worry and fear she felt for him. He involuntarily curled his lips slightly, and then heard her ask again softly, "Your Highness, what did you just say? Do you want some water?"

Finally, seeing him nod slightly, she frantically searched for water, her frantic movements unlike anything he had ever seen before. Even though the water glass was right in front of her, she couldn't see it. She rushed out the door in a panic, anxiously shouting, "Ladies, the Prince is awake! The Prince is awake! He wants water… Where is the water?!"

He wanted to laugh again, because in her anxiety, she had forgotten to change her tone, but at that moment, who would notice?

One after another, people rushed in, filling the entire room. Everyone stared at him with a mixture of surprise and joy, their eyes only on him. When they saw that he was awake, they were all overjoyed, and several ladies were so excited that they burst into tears on the spot.

The old imperial physician then squeezed in, carefully took his pulse, and stroked his beard as he slowly said, "Prince Ming is out of danger. From now on, he only needs to rest and recuperate, and avoid any stimulation. He should take good care of his body, and he will surely recover his former glory in just six months."

These words delighted everyone. In the eyes of the ladies, careful recuperation and quiet rest were just a piece of cake!

Looking at the people inside the house who were overjoyed to hear that he was alright, Minglu smiled slightly, his heart filled with warmth.

Through the crowd, his gaze found Tian Xiri, who was hiding by the door, deep in thought...

If Tian Xiri was once just a dream, that dream has long since shattered.

At this moment, he understood that the woman in front of him, dressed as a man—though using the alias Li Yu—was no longer his dream. Regardless of who she really was, whether she was a man or a woman, she was the one he truly loved.

Before the bandits were wiped out, Nalan had suggested that he feign serious injury to delay the wedding, and then cancel the engagement. But no one expected that everything would fall apart since last night. Li Yu was Tian Xiri, and Tian Xiri was Li Yu. From the moment he realized this, he was unwilling to feign injury to delay the wedding, but things didn't go as planned, and he actually became seriously injured.

He had heard everything she said by the bedside, not a single word. He was angry at her deception and her reasons for breaking off the engagement, but not hateful. He understood that while women outwardly appeared obedient and subservient to men, deep down they all resented sharing even the smallest bit of their husband's affection with other women. Were none of his concubines like that? He was used to their ruthless scheming for favor. Tian Xiri was, after all, a woman, and it was normal for her to have such thoughts. But was her reluctance to marry him truly solely due to his numerous wives and concubines? Perhaps that was only one reason. Thinking of her ambiguous relationships with Suo Ge and Long Ming, he felt a surge of annoyance. However, they were bound by their marriage contract; no one could take her away from him, no one. She was destined to be his; she would only ever be his.

However, he is now seriously injured, and the wedding will inevitably be postponed. She also intends to break off the engagement, and there are people like Long Ming and Suo Ge watching him closely. This situation is very unfavorable for him.

His only option now was to continue pretending not to know her identity and keep her by his side while he recovered. This way, he could see her every day, and he would make her fall in love with him, no matter the cost or method. He would make her truly love him, love him as much as he loved her. For life, in the name of love, he would keep her by his side.

Minglu has been recuperating for five days. In the past few days, the Emperor has bestowed his rewards and a large amount of precious medicinal materials have been sent to the Ming Prince's residence. Every few days, the Emperor sends people to check on Minglu's injuries and condition, and issues an imperial decree that Minglu should take good care of himself.

Minglu and Tian Xiri's wedding was originally scheduled for the end of this month, but due to Minglu's serious injury, the Emperor decreed that the wedding be postponed to July of next year, a delay of ten months. Ten months is neither a long nor a short time. But for Minglu, it is far too long.

One day, Nalan and Xi'en visited Minglu again and told him about the follow-up events. Zhang Guiyi and the others had been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and were scheduled to be executed in the autumn. When they attacked the mountain stronghold, Zhang Guiyi's follower, A'san, escaped in the chaos. The group was worried that A'san and his men would try to break into the Heavenly Prison, so the prison had been under heavy guard for the past few days.

Upon hearing this, Minglu became worried that Ah San and the others would discover Ye Piaopiao's true identity as Li Yu and then turn against her. He secretly sent people to guard Tian Xiri's residence, only to inadvertently discover that Long Ming was actually living with Tian Xiri!

Upon learning this shocking news, Minglu remained silent all day, and the entire Prince's mansion was gripped by an inexplicable tension. The atmosphere only eased slightly as dusk fell when Li Yu rushed in. The mansion's steward was waiting outside. Seeing Li Yu in the distance, he jogged over, bowed, and after a few polite words, hurriedly led the way, saying, "Young Master Li, if I may be so bold as to speak, His Highness hasn't eaten or drunk anything all day, nor has he taken any medicine. He won't listen to anyone's pleas. The Old Princess Consort has been staying at the Great Buddha Temple these past few days and isn't in the mansion. The other ladies have also been kept out by His Highness. All day, His Highness only sent one message: he wanted to hear you play the zither, Young Master Li. Young Master Li, you must persuade His Highness to eat something. You know, His Highness's health is still weak; he can't be allowed to go hungry..."

"Is there something you need, Your Highness?" Tian Xiri asked.

The steward replied, "I don't know either. His Highness was perfectly fine yesterday, but today he suddenly... Alas, we've invited a doctor, but His Highness won't even let the doctor into the room. He just won't let him see the prince. Everyone in the manor is frantic with worry."

Tian Xiri wondered to herself: What's wrong with Minglu? She frowned and looked at the anxious steward, so she could only reassure him: "Don't worry, steward, I'll try my best to persuade the prince."

Outside the bedroom, two guards stood by the door. They were the same two attendants who had protected Tian Xiri when she participated in the competition, and they were also Ming Lu's personal guards.

Inside the room, the air was thick with the smell of medicine. He lay on the bed, neither angry nor happy, his face pale.

He heard soft footsteps and knew it was her. He closed his eyes, feigning sleep.

She entered the inner room and saw a dark red zither table with the 'Green Jade' placed on it. She wondered to herself: Could it be that Minglu really just wanted to hear her play the zither?

She gently walked around the zither table and approached the bedside. Seeing that Ming Lu had his eyes closed, she softly called out, "Prince Ming?"
