“From now on, you shouldn’t think about me, and I shouldn’t think about you. Let’s try to see if we can still hear each other’s thoughts,” Xiao Yi said.
“Okay, I’ll try my best,” Nan Wusi replied.
However, this is easier said than done, because once you tell yourself not to think about something, you will actually pay more attention to it and keep thinking about it.
Therefore, Nan Wusi actually remembered Xiao Yi's face and thus constructed his image in his mind.
Nan Wusi thought of the kiss in the water when they were escaping pursuit, and her face flushed.
"Sisi, have you been thinking about me all this time?" Xiao Yi's voice rang in Nan Wusi's ears.
He actually went into her bedroom in broad daylight!
Nan Wusi was instantly startled, and her first reaction was to cover Ye Zi's mouth. Fortunately, she reacted in time, otherwise Ye Zi would have already screamed.
"Ye Zi, help me change my clothes." Nan Wusi ordered, seeing that the look of shock on Ye Zi's face had not faded, to divert her attention. Then he said to Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, turn around."
After hearing the sound of Nan Wusi emerging from the water, Xiao Yi realized that he had come at an inopportune time. However, he really did not expect that Nan Wusi would take a bath in the room in broad daylight.
Xiao Yi blushed and turned away on his own.
Ye Zi, looking worried, helped Nan Wusi change her clothes, thinking, "Miss actually had a secret rendezvous with His Highness Prince Yi in her boudoir. If this is discovered, her reputation will be completely ruined!"
However, Ye Zi didn't say anything; it wasn't her time to speak yet. So, after Nan Wusi gestured for her to leave, Ye Zi only glanced at Nan Wusi with concern before silently leaving the room.
Nan Wusi looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "You know I'm thinking of you?"
"Yes, I can feel it. It's a very strange feeling," Xiao Yi replied.
"Then can you tell me what I'm thinking about you?"
Xiao Yi shook his head and replied, "I don't know, I don't have any clear thoughts."
"So you weren't thinking about me at all? I didn't feel anything." Nan Wusi felt a surge of anger at the thought that she had been thinking about Xiao Yi the whole time, but he hadn't thought about her.
"Yes, I deliberately forced myself to think about other things just now," Xiao Yi explained.
"So we can now conclude that as long as we have thoughts that are like a dialogue in our minds, equivalent to our inner voices, we can hear each other. If we are not thinking about anything related to the other person, we will not hear them," Nan Wusi concluded.
“That’s true. If the other party has some imagination, you can’t perceive what they are thinking or their feelings,” Xiao Yi concluded.
Namo Si nodded in agreement.
"Are you wearing the jade on your body now?" Nan Wusi suddenly thought of a question.
"Yes, I wear it on my body." Xiao Yi took out his jade pendant.
"Do you think we can still hear each other's voices if we take off the jade pendant?" Nanwu thought about experimenting.
“It’s worth a try.” Since he had come here specifically to conduct the experiment, Xiao Yi naturally wanted to figure out the principle behind the Blood Jade.
So the two took off the blood jade and called each other's names.
"We can still hear it." The two exchanged a glance.
The two then experimented to see if they could still hear each other if they removed the jade pendant and stood a distance apart.
Ultimately, after experimenting little by little, the two discovered that if the jade pendant was removed and it was still within one meter of them, it would still have this function; however, once they were more than one meter apart, they could no longer communicate telepathically.
Namo Si was quite satisfied with the function of the Mandarin Duck Blood Jade; the 1,000 beauty points he spent were well worth it.
"Sisi, are you still angry with me?" Xiao Yi asked cautiously after completing the experiment on the Blood Jade's functions.
"I have no right to be angry, after all, we have no relationship." Nan Wusi calmed down again. She had no relationship with Xiao Yi, and even if Xiao Yi had many women, it was none of her business, so she was just telling the truth.
However, these words sounded quite harsh to Xiao Yi. He never expected that Nan Wusi would say that the two of them had no relationship whatsoever.
"Sisi! I'm serious about you!" Xiao Yi said, holding Nan Wusi's hand. "Besides, I've already asked Xuanli to take Qingcheng's place in brewing medicine for me."
"You still call her Qingcheng!" Nan Wusi tried to pull her hand back, but Xiao Yi held on tightly, and she failed.
"Her name is Qingcheng, what else should I call her if I don't call her Qingcheng?" Xiao Yi was somewhat confused.
"But I heard everyone else in your palace call her Miss Yan!" Nan Wusi said fiercely.
Xiao Yi suddenly realized that Nan Wusi had thought he called her Qingcheng to show their closeness. He chuckled and said, "Sisi, you're jealous."
"Hmph." Nan Wusi glared at Xiao Yi, snorted coldly, but did not reply.
“She is my subordinate. Her real name is Qingcheng, but she added the surname Yan for convenience when traveling.” Xiao Yi patiently explained, “For so many years, she has always referred to herself as Qingcheng in front of me, so I had long forgotten that she had the surname Yan in front of her.”
"Besides, she's just trying to cover things up. If you're unhappy, I can transfer her out of the Prince Yi's residence," Xiao Yi said seriously.
Nan Wusi's anger subsided considerably after hearing Xiao Yi's explanation. She shook her head and said, "No need. Since she is useful to you, she can stay in the palace."
"Alright." Xiao Yi waited until Nan Wusi's anger subsided before asking, "Why did you dress up like that to go to Prince Yi's residence yesterday? Do you know how dangerous that was?"
"I was just imitating you on a whim," Nan Wusi replied somewhat awkwardly.
"Sisi, don't do such dangerous things in the future. If you want to find me, just come to Prince Yi's residence. You don't need them to announce your arrival anymore."
"I have many enemies lurking in the shadows. What if I hurt you again like I did yesterday?"
"Oh, right, I was actually planning to recommend someone to you." Nan Wusi suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit to Xiao Yi.
"Oh? Who is it?" Xiao Yi was also somewhat interested.
"This man is named Sun Ren. He is the son of a tailor. He has not passed the imperial examinations for many years and now works as an accountant at Tingfeng Water Pavilion." Nan Wusi gave a general account of Sun Ren's situation.
"Is there anything special about this person? Why recommend him?" Xiao Yi frowned. The person Nan Wusi mentioned didn't seem to have anything special about him that was worth paying attention to.
“If you nurture him properly, he will surely become a great man in the future!” Nan Wusi said confidently. “You can get to know him first before deciding whether to use him. Even if you don’t plan to use him, you must not let Xiao Mu recruit him.”
"Alright." Xiao Yi took Nan Wusi's attitude seriously and decided to send someone to make contact first.
