Looking at his upright and honest official's utterly dejected expression, Tong Youlin couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.
This is what they call "the deeper the love, the harsher the criticism"! No wonder the upright and just magistrate loves his people so much; it turns out that it is because of the strict demands of His Highness the future emperor that we have such a fine official as Lord Liang!
As Tong Youlin sighed, he nodded with obvious appreciation. He then inadvertently met Liang Sheng's blank stare and nodded at him with sympathy to encourage him: "You've worked so hard! You must be strong and live on!"
Liang Sheng: ...
No wonder he was shivering from the cold today, and his eyelids kept twitching. Sure enough, getting close to this little devil meant something unfortunate was bound to happen!
Liang Sheng looked miserable, on the verge of tears.
"Snake!" The little boy's bright black eyes looked at Liang Sheng's comical face and he giggled happily.
Liang Sheng listened stiffly to the carefree little child's voice. The word "snake" swirled in his head, and in a daze, the scene of the giant python suddenly jumping out in front of him appeared in his mind again and again.
"Uh..." Liang Sheng suddenly exhaled his soul, his legs went weak, his head tilted to the side with his tongue sticking out, like a dog skin plaster that had been torn off, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Tong Youlin was terrified by Liang Sheng's sudden fainting and quickly supported the person who was about to collapse, his eyes full of worry.
In contrast, Huo Chengche didn't even frown. His narrow eyes were indifferent as he glanced at him coldly and sneered, "Heh, it seems that Lord Liang needs to work on his courage and physique. He can't keep fainting from fright every few days."
As he spoke, the young man casually glanced around, a slight smile playing on his lips. He murmured, "Perfect. There are quite a few pythons in this forest. We don't have anywhere to put them after catching them. I heard there are a few empty rooms in the Jingzhao government office, so why don't we..."
"Your Highness, Your Highness!"
The person who was dizzy and had his head tilted and tongue sticking out immediately opened his eyes upon hearing Huo Chengche's words, and was no longer dizzy and full of energy.
Not only that, he didn't even need anyone to help him up; he got up on his own and shouted in a strong voice, "Your Highness, rest assured, I am perfectly fine! No, no, no, please don't trouble Your Highness with any more concern for me!"
Tong Youlin remained bent over and half-squatting to help Liang Sheng, staring blankly at his suddenly empty embrace. He looked up in a daze, staring at Liang Sheng, who was suddenly unharmed, his mouth agape.
At this time, Tong Youlin was about the same height as Liang Sheng.
After Liang Sheng finished yelling, he suddenly realized that there was a big man blocking his way, and at the same time he met Tong Youlin's gaze.
However, Liang Sheng had no time to care about him at this moment. With a wave of his hand, he shoved him aside, then approached Huo Chengche with a smile, rubbing his hands together and hurriedly explaining:
"Your Highness, you've forgotten that you also sent us a litter of tiger cubs! These aren't ordinary tiger cubs; they're tiger cubs personally bestowed upon us by His Highness the Crown Prince! We can't just send them to any old house, so I've invited them to live in those two empty rooms!"
Huo Chengche glanced at Liang Sheng, his face flushed, his voice full of energy, and said coolly, "What? Lord Liang, you're not dizzy anymore?"
Liang Sheng's heart was bleeding with tears, but he dared not show it at all. He forced a stiff smile through gritted teeth, "No, no, I'm not dizzy anymore, I'm not dizzy anymore..."
