"Okay!" the little bun obediently replied, but when she looked down, the little tiger with milky white fur in her arms also looked up, blinking its dark, grape-like eyes and staring straight at her.
The little baby didn't want to put him down immediately. She raised her little face, which looked even more delicate and beautiful in the sunlight. With her soft dimples sinking in, she was even more adorable.
The little boy blinked his bright black eyes at his older brother, the prince, and said in a childish voice, "Can Niannian take him with her?"
After saying that, the little dumpling pouted, looking like he was about to act cute.
Just a moment ago, Huo Chengche glanced at Liang Sheng, who was walking unsteadily, and hesitated a bit. But now, looking at his little wife's adorable and pleading look, and her sweet, soft voice, the gentle cadence swayed in his ears and heart.
"Okay." The answer was firm and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
Liang Sheng: ? ? ?
"Mrs. Mrs...."
“A tiger cub, and Nian Nian is holding him, so he won’t run around or run into you.” Huo Chengche glared at him, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Liang Sheng glanced at the tiger cub, which was as obedient as a puppy. His face was pale, and he swallowed hard. He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and shakily uttered a "yes".
So, the little baby happily hugged the new tiger cub and ran happily to the side of the prince brother with his short legs. Liang Sheng's legs, which were just weak, suddenly felt better and he ran faster than a rabbit, quickly hiding far away.
Huo Chengche glanced at Liang Sheng speechlessly, then picked up the little baby holding the tiger cub and went into the second hall.
"Lord Liang, how is the matter I entrusted to you yesterday progressing?"
In the innermost corner near the entrance to the second hall, Liang Sheng watched with trepidation as a four-legged creature sniffed here and there, swallowing hard before speaking:
"Your Highness, this case of cheating in the imperial examination is easy to handle. With the clues provided by that scholar, and the fact that the other party did not expect Your Highness to hand this matter over to the Jingzhao Prefecture, I, along with my constables, used other matters as an excuse to conduct an in-depth investigation. I expect to have results soon."
Huo Chengche nodded as expected. "That's 'easy to say,' but it's 'difficult to say' that I asked you to suppress the rampant human trafficking in the capital?"
Liang Sheng explained with a bitter face, "Your Highness, this time it's not that I'm making excuses. The scourge of human traffickers has existed for a long time, it didn't just flourish after I took office, and it's not unique to this dynasty, it has existed in every dynasty..."
"So you're just going to ignore it?"
Huo Chengche slammed down his teacup, making a loud bang on the porcelain plate. The little tiger scurried over, then timidly burrowed its head into the soft, fragrant arms of the little baby, leaving only its tail sticking out.
Liang Sheng was startled and stammered, "No, no, no! Your Majesty, I'll think of something! But there are only a few real human traffickers. If they just disappear into that alley, they won't easily give themselves away. Besides, they know they're watching our yamen. As soon as we make a move, they'll scatter and run away..."
Huo Chengche frowned, while Xuan Di beside him took a sip of tea, glanced down at the teacup, frowned in disgust, and tossed it onto the table.
"'Real human traffickers'? Interesting," Xuan Di raised an eyebrow casually. "Could it be that there are human traffickers who aren't real human traffickers?"
