Prince Su saw He Yan's obvious unwillingness to have physical contact with him, and the fierce light in his eyes instantly became even more intense. But after silently looking at He Yan for a while, he finally quietly withdrew his hand.

The youth was pressed into the corner of the carriage, his beautiful face full of wariness, his entire being like a feline with an extremely strong sense of territory, his fur all puffed up. Prince Su had no doubt that if his hand dared to reach out further, it would be viciously clawed.

He Yan was very irritated inside.

With the Second Prince, he could appropriately teach him a lesson without bringing about any calamity, because the Second Prince was just a prince not valued by the Emperor. But as for this Prince Su, he really didn't know how to deal with him. As the prince most trusted and favored by the Emperor, in the entire Wen Dynasty, Prince Su's status was second only to Emperor Wen Xiao. If he wanted to forcibly do something to He Yan, even with the entire Xinyuan Marquis Mansion backing him, it would probably be unstoppable.

It was all because of this face that brought about misfortune!

At this moment, He Yan simply wished he could directly disfigure himself.

Regardless of man or woman, being too good-looking was extremely prone to bringing trouble, especially in this era without human rights, beauties rarely had good endings.

He Yan thought, if Prince Su really pushed him to desperation, he would try hypnotizing Prince Su. Using spiritual power to hypnotize was actually a very complex subject. In his original world, He Yan had graduated from military academy and had not taken any professional courses related to hypnosis, let alone had any experience hypnotizing people.

So he could not guarantee that in the process of hypnosis, he would not accidentally cause some irreversible damage to Prince Su's precious brain.

For the rest of the journey, He Yan remained on high alert. Fortunately, Prince Su had some restraint. Except for constantly sweeping his body with eyes full of fierceness and greed, he did not come to harass him again.

The Shanxiang Pavilion was located in the most prosperous area of the capital, not far from the Xinyuan Marquis Mansion. By carriage, it was only about fifteen minutes away. But under Prince Su's blatant gaze, when the carriage stopped, He Yan felt as if a century had passed.

It's just that although the carriage had stopped, Prince Su showed no intention of moving. He sat at one end of the carriage door, so if He Yan wanted to get off, he would inevitably have to pass by his side.

He Yan waited for a long time. Seeing that Prince Su was still sitting there steadily, not speaking or preparing to get off, he could only take the initiative to break the silence. Hastily saying a "Thank you, Your Highness", he stiffened his scalp and dashed out of the carriage at top speed.

After jumping down from the carriage, He Yan, together with the young servant waiting outside, entered the Xinyuan Marquis Mansion without looking back.

Prince Su lifted the curtain in the carriage and looked at the youth's flustered back, his already fierce countenance becoming even more unsightly.

*

The matter of Prince Su personally sending the young master of the Xinyuan Marquis Mansion, Xie Ming, back to the mansion quickly spread throughout the aristocratic circle of the capital!

The location of the Xinyuan Marquis Mansion was not remote. That street was also full of aristocratic residences. At that time, it was also broad daylight. Many people saw with their own eyes Prince Su's carriage stopping in front of the Xinyuan Marquis Mansion, and Xie Ming openly getting off it. Finally, Prince Su even lifted the curtain to show his face. This matter was definitely not some rumor!

The usually unsociable Prince Su actually had a day of sending someone back to their residence? His attitude towards this young master of the Xinyuan Marquis Mansion was quite extraordinary.

Not to mention that he had previously beaten up his nephew who had been pestering Young Master Xie for a long time. It was said that even his face was swollen from the beating. This matter could be discussed in even more detail!

How sinful, the only seedling of the Xinyuan Marquis Mansion was too miserable. With that face, not only did he attract a Second Prince, he even hooked a star of misfortune of Prince Su's level. This was the Xie family's only seedling! Who knows what the Xinyuan Marquis felt in his heart? And what were Prince Su's intentions?

This matter spread extremely hotly. The Xinyuan Marquis Mansion naturally also received the news.

So after dinner this night, He Yan was kept behind by Madam Xie to talk alone.

Although Madam Xie was already in her thirties this year, because she had an extremely good foundation and paid attention to maintenance, she could still be called a beauty. Her cloud-like hair bun was lofty, her beautiful eyes glancing around, and she had the charm of a beautiful mature woman.

As soon as He Yan entered the room, Madam Xie pulled his hand to let him sit down. Her gentle face showed a few traces of worry, and her words also had an undisguisable sorrow, "My son, did Prince Su make things difficult for you?"

What kind of person was Prince Su! Before leaving the capital, he was already a famous star of misfortune in the capital. In the past few years, he had also struggled in the army, and who knows how much more brutal he had become.

It was said that now with one glare from him, he could directly make children cry! Her son with this small frame, one slap from Prince Su could break him. In front of that person, he could only be bullied!

Moreover... with the Second Prince as a precedent of a rotten peach blossom, plus the rumors outside, Madam Xie also couldn't help but have some guesses in that direction.

If Prince Su harbored the same thoughts as the Second Prince... Madam Xie felt her vision darken at the thought of this possibility.

They didn't care much about the Second Prince, but Prince Su's identity was much nobler than the Second Prince's. The Emperor had always been extremely indulgent of him since he was young. If he brutally wanted to lay hands on her son, what could be done!

Seeing the deep worry in Madam Xie's eyes, He Yan immediately answered obediently, "Not really. It's just that after Prince Su taught the Second Prince a lesson today, he sent me back on the way. He must have disliked the Second Prince's appearance. Didn't Mother say before that Prince Su has always been like this, accustomed to teaching people a lesson. Besides, this matter is not this Son's fault. Although Prince Su has a bad temper, he is not someone who doesn't distinguish right from wrong. He won't blame this Son."

This Xie Ming, although he was accustomed to looking down on people outside, he was extremely close to his birth mother. And Madam Xie also doted on this son very much. Every time the Xinyuan Marquis scolded Xie Ming for refusing to take a wife or losing so much money on paintings and calligraphy, Madam Xie would immediately stand out with teary eyes to protect him. The Xinyuan Marquis was a man who spoiled his wife, so every time his admonishment of Xie Ming would end up inconclusive.

It could be said that Xie Ming's arrogant personality was largely indulged by Madam Xie.

So He Yan did not intend to complain to Madam Xie, as the situation had not reached such a serious point. He also had his own backup plan, so there was no point in bringing it up now and needlessly worrying Madam Xie.

However, it was hard for Madam Xie not to be concerned, as she was extremely sensitive to everything involving her son, and the rumors outside were spreading so fiercely.

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie's brows relaxed a bit, and she put aside her worries for the time being, half-believing and half-doubting. She then said, "The Second Prince has learned his lesson this time, so I suppose he won't come to disturb anyone for a while. Why not take this opportunity to settle things early and deter his intentions?

"I think the few girls I showed you the other day are all quite good. Not to mention anything else, their appearances are all top-notch. Apart from these few, you won't find anyone else. You must give me a definite answer soon. Decide which one you like and settle it quickly. Don't wait until they're married off and then regret it."

He Yan was startled and quickly imitated Xie Ming's usual tone to gloss over the topic.

Seeing this son whose appearance was no less than her own, with a hint of childishness still lingering between his brows and eyes, Madam Xie sighed helplessly.

Although Madam Xie would intervene when Marquis Xinyuan disciplined Xie Ming, she was actually very worried about her son's marriage. She had brought it up countless times over the past few years.

The young masters of other families already had two or three-year-old children at this age, while Xie Ming still held the attitude of delaying marriage as much as possible, throwing tantrums and refusing to agree. As a prestigious Marquis Mansion, they couldn't possibly force him to get married. Wouldn't that be a loss of face?

It really made her so anxious that she couldn't even eat well.

Madam Xie had also speculated whether Xie Ming preferred men and disliked women. But after worriedly observing for several years, although there was no shortage of men like the Second Prince constantly chasing after Xie Ming, she never saw him getting close to any of them. In the end, she dismissed this guess.

After much thought, the only possible reason was that Xie Ming was naturally slower to mature compared to others.

Like the original host, He Yan also did not want to follow Madam Xie's wishes and get married. The original host was unwilling to marry because of his narcissism, thinking that there was no one in the world worthy of him. As for He Yan, it was because he already had someone in his heart whom he could not let go of.

Since his lover could appear a second time in the previous reincarnation, why couldn't they appear a third time?

He Yan had a strong premonition that his lover must be waiting for him somewhere in this world.

In the Wen Dynasty, male love was prevalent, and there were also laws for marriage between men. However, since men could not bear children, the legitimate son could only be chosen from the sons born to concubines. Therefore, to avoid conflicts in the rear court, any family with a bit of status would not allow their valued offspring to take a male spouse.

Moreover, since men could not enter officialdom after marriage, wealthy families also did not want their promising sons to marry into other families.

Especially for someone like He Yan, the only legitimate son of a high-ranking marquis family, whether taking a male spouse or marrying into another family as a male spouse, the Marquis Mansion would absolutely never agree.

He didn't know how he would convince his family when the time came...

He Yan thought for half a month but still couldn't come up with a feasible plan.

Unless Madam Xie could miraculously give birth to another legitimate son for the Xie family in her old age, he might have a glimmer of hope to struggle for. Otherwise, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed impossible for him to marry a man.

Forget it. In any case, he couldn't think of a good idea for now. It was better to focus on finding the person first. If he couldn't find them, no matter how much he considered it here, it would be in vain.

That night, after being served by the servant to wash up and tidy himself, He Yan waved his hand to dismiss the servant and slowly undressed himself.

Due to his severe mysophobia, Xie Ming never had the habit of letting servants help him change clothes. Although He Yan didn't have much mysophobia, he also wasn't used to others undressing him. So, like Xie Ming before, he did it himself. Although he wasn't very skilled, he at least had memories to refer to. Slowly fumbling, he learned how to do it.

He Yan had just taken off his outer garment when he suddenly heard a faint sound behind him. He immediately turned to look.

However, this body had been spoiled and pampered, and had no combat strength at all. He had only been here for half a month, and such a short time was not enough to greatly enhance his physical strength.

So, although he realized there was movement behind him, his body's reaction was still a beat slower. Just as he caught a glimpse of a tall figure from the corner of his eye, before he could dodge, the person grabbed his arm and locked him in an embrace from the front.

He Yan immediately struggled desperately, but the man's strength was immense. He was probably a martial arts expert. He Yan's weak physique couldn't budge him in the slightest. Instead, sensing his struggle, the man hugged him even tighter, squeezing He Yan so much that he couldn't breathe.

"Don't move," the man suddenly said curtly, his voice low and somewhat hoarse in the night. "Move again and I'll do you!"

This voice... it was Prince Su!

Due to He Yan's excellent memory and Prince Su's highly recognizable voice, He Yan almost instantly identified the identity of the person attacking him!

The reason he had obediently stayed in the Marquis Xinyuan's manor for half a month was to avoid going out and running into Prince Su again, stirring up trouble. But he never expected that while he was hiding at home, minding his own business, someone would still come knocking at his door!

Being bullied to this extent, if he didn't fight back, he was afraid Prince Su would directly push him down on the bed and have his way with him tonight!

He Yan immediately decided not to endure it anymore. He directly released thin threads of spiritual power, intending to subdue this person first, then hypnotize him. He didn't care if it would damage his brain. Such a person who kept pushing his luck deserved to be an idiot for life!

But suddenly, he felt that this scene seemed familiar.

He vaguely remembered that Adrian had also tried to ambush him without a word back then...

Moreover, in Xie Ming's experiences from his previous life, although the impression wasn't deep, the two of them were both in the top echelons of the capital's nobility and should have met before. However, Prince Su had never shown any interest in Xie Ming from beginning to end. How come as soon as he arrived, Prince Su suddenly went crazy and wanted to pounce on him?

So, with a hint of subtle suspicion, when He Yan's aggressive spiritual power slowed down a bit as it pierced into Prince Su's mental domain.

Then, he froze.

Prince Su's spiritual sea was indeed quite familiar. It was probably just a small wisp more of spiritual power orbs compared to the Emperor's in the previous life.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

He Yan found it hard to believe. Did his lover have a radar installed on his body to recognize him? How could he accurately "fall in love at first sight" every time, even without memories and with He Yan's appearance changing in each reincarnation?

In fact, before accessing Prince Su's spiritual sea, he couldn't even recognize that this was his lover.

Noticing that the person in his arms had suddenly softened for some reason and was no longer resisting, Prince Su slowly lowered his head, burying it in the crook of the boy's neck. After taking a deep breath, he opened his mouth and engulfed the small, cute earlobe of the person in his arms.

As expected, it was soft and springy. The taste was countless times more wonderful than he had imagined.

This is what happened. Today, a conversation like this took place between me and one of my drama queen friends:
