Bai Li seemed to only then realize what was happening, exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve to help him wipe his face.
Seeing the little girl's fair hand reaching out to him, Wang Houde felt his blood boil. Coming to his senses, he quickly grabbed her hand, saying, "I can do it myself."
Bai Li struggled to free her wrist, but couldn't break free. She immediately became anxious, "I'm the one who got it wet, let me help you dry it..."
"No need, I'll just go change my clothes," Wang Houde said calmly after taking a deep breath.
Bai Li was taken aback. Yes, how come she hadn't thought of that he could change his clothes?
By the time she came to her senses, Wang Houde had already gone into the inner room.
Looking at the low-hanging beaded curtain, Bai Li frowned in distress.
Should we rush in and take a look?
In the end, she gave up on the strange idea, went to get a broom, swept up the broken cups on the floor, and then took a rag to wipe up the water on the floor.
When Wang Houde came out, he saw her busy figure inside the house and felt somewhat helpless.
"Don't you need to serve Her Majesty? These small things can be done by others."
"It's already cleaned." Bai Li stood up, twisting the rag in her hands, and looked at him with some hesitation.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" Wang Houde asked.
"I..." Bai Li's lips moved, but in the end she swallowed back the question she wanted to ask and shook her head. "I'm fine."
Wang Houde glanced at her and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Li subconsciously licked her lips.
Seeing this, Wang Houde smiled and took a plate of pastries from the food box on the table and handed it to her, saying, "These were sent over this morning by the eunuchs from the Imperial Kitchen. You can have them."
Bai Li reached out and took it, silently eating it, completely forgetting the important matter she had come for.
By the time she remembered, Wang Houde had already left.
She suddenly felt that the pastries had no flavor.
In the afternoon, a sudden downpour began. The rain was so heavy and swift that Wang Houde didn't have time to take shelter under the eaves, and his clothes were instantly soaked.
Bai Li was sitting on the porch watching the rain, racking her brains for a way to verify that Wang Houde was not a real eunuch.
Just then, they saw Wang Houde, who was soaked to the bone by the rain.
Her face lit up with joy, and she quickly took out her handkerchief, got up, and rushed over.
"Eunuch Wang, you're wet. Let me wipe you down."
Wang Houde had just stood firm under the corridor when he suddenly heard Bai Li's faint, joyful voice behind him.
He paused for a moment, then turned around.
Just as I was about to say no, the other person had already held up a handkerchief and moved closer to me.
Wang Houde paused for a moment, feeling that the other person's gaze was somewhat strange.
Following her gaze, his handsome face flushed, and he quickly grabbed her outstretched hand, saying, "No need, I can just go back and change into a robe."
Bai Li: "..."
Wang Houde glanced at her helplessly, then turned and left.
I don't know what's wrong with this girl. He was completely soaked, but all she was thinking about was wiping him down there...
This made him think a lot.
Watching him walk away, Bai Li shook the handkerchief in her hand, feeling somewhat discouraged.
She missed such a good opportunity; how can she verify it now?
Thinking of something, she quickly followed Wang Houde to his house.
Eunuch Wang was soaked to the bone, so he definitely needed to take a bath.
After returning to his room, Wang Houde originally only intended to change his clothes, but since he was soaked and felt quite uncomfortable, he decided to take a bath.
After the eunuch prepared the hot water, he went to the washroom.
He had just taken off his outer clothes when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He instinctively left on his underpants and stepped into the bathtub.
By the window behind the washroom, Bai Li patted her burning face, feeling a pang of regret.
Unexpectedly, even when taking a bath, Eunuch Wang had to wear underpants.
She still didn't see anything.
However, he will have to get dressed after taking a bath, and he will definitely change his soaking wet pants then.
Thinking it over, she squatted there and waited quietly.
He planned to peek at Wang Houde after he finished bathing.
However, she estimated that it was about time, so she crouched down and tried to look inside through the half-open window, but unexpectedly, her head hit the window frame with a "thud".
"Who goes there?" Wang Houde's voice came from the washroom.
Bai Li was startled. She no longer cared about peeping and quickly ran away.
She ran all the way back to Luanfeng Palace.
As Lü Qiao came out, the two of them bumped into each other without warning.
Ouch!
Ouch!
The two were about the same height, and when they bumped into each other, they both hit each other on the forehead, immediately raising large bumps.
"Bai Li!" Lü Qiao rubbed her forehead, which had been bruised and sore, and was somewhat exasperated.
Feeling guilty, Bai Li quickly reached out to rub her hands, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Seeing her like this, Lü Qiao was both amused and exasperated. "What did you just do? You look so guilty."
"No," Bai Li quickly denied. Of course, she couldn't let anyone know that she intended to spy on Wang Houde; how embarrassing would that be if word got out?
"No?" Green Fairy clearly didn't believe her. It wasn't the first time she'd known her. Although this girl was a former assassin, she was incredibly naive. Especially since they were all so familiar with each other, Green Fairy could tell from the way Green Fairy's eyes darted around that she had something on her mind.
"Really, no." Bai Li's tone was exceptionally serious.
Lü Qiao glanced at her and sighed, "Bai Li, I treat you like a younger sister. If you have anything on your mind, you must tell me. Don't keep it to yourself. Speak up, and maybe I can give you some advice."
Upon hearing this, Bai Li couldn't help but feel a little tempted.
She hasn't even touched Wang Gonggong's pants all day. At this rate, when will she ever find out if he's really a eunuch?
Because of the Empress's suggestion yesterday, she thought about it and was quite tempted.
Eunuch Wang treated her so well; if he weren't a eunuch, she should marry him so he could treat her well for the rest of his life.
But if he were a eunuch, she hesitated, because then she wouldn't be able to have a baby.
She also wanted a home, a complete home.
That's why she had the audacity to peep at Eunuch Wang while he was bathing.
Meeting Lu Qiao's eager gaze, she hesitated for a moment.
Lü Qiao was very good to her, but it was too embarrassing to talk about such a thing.
Should she tell him?
Seeing her hesitation, Lü Qiao chuckled and asked, "What's wrong with you? Is it something you can't even tell me?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Li lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers. After a moment, she raised her head as if she had made up her mind. "Lü Qiao, what do you think of Eunuch Wang?"
Lü Qiao was surprised that she would ask about Wang Houde, but she still answered truthfully, "He is a very good person. He is down-to-earth, meticulous, and considerate. The Empress values him highly. He is currently the Grand Eunuch, in charge of the palace's internal affairs, and has a lot of power."
Besides, he was quite good-looking; if it weren't for his physical defect, he would have been perfect. Honestly, if he weren't a eunuch, I would have been interested in him long ago.
