55. National Master Dad 6
Inside the tent, An Chixu leaned against An Zhenghong and asked worriedly, "Father, why hasn't Cousin Ye woken up yet?"
An Zhenghong patted his little shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the imperial physician said Cheng Ye only injured his foot. It's nothing serious. He will wake up soon."
Cheng Ye slowly opened his eyes as he spoke. Seeing Cheng Jiu sitting next to him, the fear in Cheng Ye's heart suddenly burst out. He cried out, "Dad, there's a tiger!"
Cheng Jiu reached out and touched his son's forehead. A trace of his willpower flowed into his body from his palm, soothing his frightened heart.
"Don't be afraid."
After a while, Cheng Ye's mood was finally calmed down. He struggled to get up, and Cheng Jiu helped him sit up.
An Chixu walked over and said worriedly, "Cousin Ye, are you okay? Does your foot still hurt?" He pointed at Cheng Ye's foot and asked.
Only then did Cheng Ye realize that his foot had been wrapped like a big dumpling. Uh, yes, it seemed that he had been hit on the foot by a big tiger.
Cheng Ye looked at his feet, frowned and said, "It seems to hurt a lot!" Tears began to well up in his eyes. It would have been better if he hadn't said it, but as soon as he said it, he felt so painful.
At this time, the servant brought in a bowl of medicine. Cheng Jiu took the medicine and handed it to Cheng Ye and said, "Drink the medicine, and the pain will go away." This is a pain-relieving medicine specially prescribed by the imperial physician, which has a good effect on relieving pain during labor.
Cheng Ye looked at the black, bitter medicine, and his tears were suddenly frightened back. Although he didn't want to drink it, seeing his father's unquestionable expression, Cheng Ye still drank the medicine with a bitter face. At the end, his father stuffed a piece of dessert into his mouth.
At this time, a guard walked in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Imperial Master, the tiger keeps roaring."
An Zhenghong asked curiously, "Roar?"
Guards: "Yes, Your Majesty, it has been growling ever since the Imperial Master left, and it's getting louder and louder." Seeing that it seemed to intend to keep growling like this, they had to come and report it.
Cheng Jiu paused for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look." Then he walked out.
Cheng Ye quickly called out to him, "Dad! I want to go too."
Cheng Jiu stopped: "Are you not afraid?"
Cheng Ye: "I'm not afraid as long as my father is around." When the big tiger wanted to eat him, it was the beads given by his father that protected him, so as long as his father was around, he was not afraid of anything.
A group of people came to Guan Lao Hu's tent.
The tiger was tied up and lying on the ground, growling and growling.
When it saw Cheng Jiu, fear was evident in its tiger eyes. It subconsciously
He struggled, but could not move at all, and finally he was exhausted and gasping for breath.
At this time, the imperial physician exclaimed, "This is, this is childbirth!" He looked at Tiger's condition, her bulging belly, and the amniotic fluid under her body that had already flowed all over the floor. It was clearly childbirth.
An Zhenghong was stunned: "Is this tiger a tigress?"
The imperial physician said: "Yes, and it should be a difficult birth." Looking at the bulging belly, it was obvious that the amniotic fluid had all flowed out and the tiger cub was still trapped inside and couldn't come out, so it kept growling.
At this moment, the tiger suddenly roared. The sound was extremely loud and full of pain and sorrow, which made everyone in the tent frown.
A ball of flesh slid down from behind the tiger, and then the ground behind the tiger was gradually stained red with blood. It was a hemorrhage!
The big tiger was panting and whimpering. The imperial physician sighed inwardly, fearing that it might not survive.
Cheng Jiu: "Untie it."
The guards nearby immediately stepped forward to untie the tiger.
The tiger struggled to carry the cub to a clean place and licked it clean. After a moment, it stood up timidly, picked up the cub and walked towards Cheng Jiu. The guards immediately pointed their spears at it vigilantly.
The tiger ignored the guards and placed the cub on the ground in front of Cheng Jiu, lying on the ground and growling in begging.
Is this entrusting an orphan to someone else?
An Zhenghong's mouth twitched. Was this tiger stunned by the Imperial Master's attack? Just a few hours ago, they wanted to eat someone else's child, and now they're giving their own newborn cub to someone else to raise. What kind of divine logic is this?
Cheng Jiu's face was calm and showed no interest. He said lightly: "You hurt my son." The rejection in his tone was obvious.
The tiger looked up at the powerful human in front of it, then looked at the human cub held in the human's arms. It looked up at the human cub and growled softly, as if apologizing and begging.
Everyone: What a scheming tiger! When asking for help from others fails, it asks for help from their children. Has it forgotten that it wanted to eat this child just now?
Cheng Ye, who had been holding Cheng Jiu's neck from the beginning, was startled when he saw the tiger suddenly looking at him. After taking a closer look, he was stunned and said, "Dad, look, it's crying."
Everyone looked over and saw a pair of cloudy tiger eyes shedding tears, accompanied by its wailing and pleading, which made people feel a little moved.
The tiger lost too much blood and lay weakly on the ground. Soon it slowly stopped breathing.
Cheng Ye looked curiously at the little ball of flesh that occasionally moved on the ground and said, "Dad, can I raise it?"
Cheng Jiu said calmly, "Okay."
An Zhenghong:......
Big heart
A loving child, a caring father!

The large hunting teams also returned one after another.
An Zhenghong sat on the high platform and looked at the dense crowds of hunters and piles of prey below, and his bad mood eased.
"It seems like everyone has gained a lot this time, not bad!"
He pointed to a pile of prey in the open space and said with a smile, "Which warrior hunted these?" There were deer, roe deer, and wild boars, and they were all big ones.
General Park, a burly man with a stubbled beard, stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, this is what I hunted."
"So it's Park Aiqing, haha, Park Aiqing is still as brave as ever. I remember Park Aiqing won first place in last year's spring hunt, right?"
General Park laughed heartily and said, "I did win first place in last year's spring hunt, but I can't say for sure this time. The tiger here is more powerful than any of mine." He pointed to the second row of prey.
An Zhenghong looked at the second row of prey areas and found that there was indeed a tiger. Although this prey only consisted of a tiger and a hare, this tiger was indeed much more difficult to hunt than ordinary prey.
Then he asked, "Whose prey is this?"
An Chiyan stepped forward and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is what I hunted." The third prince was already taller than his peers, and he looked even more heroic in riding clothes.
An Zhenghong was a little surprised: "Did Yan'er also encounter a tiger in the hunting ground? Was she injured?" Has this hunting ground become a tiger's den? Every time a tiger arrives, another one appears.
An Chiyan was stunned. Had anyone else encountered a tiger? He said, "Father, I didn't hunt this tiger in the small hunting grounds. I went to the large hunting grounds with my two cousins from the Cheng'en Marquisate. I didn't get hurt." He was lucky, of course, given the chaos, and in his panic, he fired an arrow, hitting the tiger directly in the eye. The arrowhead lodged directly into the tiger's head. On the way, they encountered another large tiger, but they galloped into the small hunting grounds, where the fence stopped the tiger and they escaped.
An Zhenghong's expression was somewhat ambiguous. He said, "Did the emperor hunt it in the area of Xiaozhou Mountain?"
An Chiyan: "Father, you are wise. I did hunt this tiger in that area."
I don't want to be wise!
General Park: "Your Majesty, the Third Prince's prey is much more powerful than mine. So this time I dare not take the first place. The Third Prince is the one who deserves it."
An Chixu, who had been silent all this time, said: "Pu Jun, please forgive me for what I said.
I agree. Although the Third Prince hunted a tiger, General Park's prey was also good, and the number was far greater than the Third Prince's."
He stepped forward with his hands behind his back and said, "Besides, even if General Park intended to give up his position, it shouldn't be my third brother who got the title. Cheng Ye, the son of the national teacher, also hunted a tiger. That tiger looked a few years older than my third brother's. He also hunted a newborn tiger cub. So, if the ferocity of the tiger is used to judge the hunting results, then it should be my cousin Ye who got the title. Don't you think so, father?" As he said this, he bowed to An Zhenghong.
An Zhenghong was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said, "Xu'er is right. Cheng Ye did indeed hunt down an adult tiger and a tiger cub."
Everyone was stunned. How could a seven-year-old child hunt a full-grown tiger? But since the emperor had said so, whether it was true or not, it had to be true.
An Chiyan gripped the bow tightly and glared at An Chixu unwillingly, then turned around and returned to her seat.
An Chixu didn't agree at all. He just liked the way he hated me so much but couldn't do anything to me.
In the large tent, Cheng Jiu looked at the guards kneeling on the ground, holding a black-gold curly-horn bow in both hands, and said calmly, "So, it was the Third Prince who killed the younger one and brought the older one here. Did my son suffer an unprovoked disaster?"
Based on the circumstances, it seems the tiger that attacked Cheng Ye and the tiger hunted by An Chiyan were mother and daughter. Why were they mother and daughter? Adult male tigers tend to stay away from their mother's territory to prevent future inbreeding, while female tigers tend to establish separate territories around their mother's. The tiger likely knew its daughter was in danger, prompting it to go berserk and attack.
He glanced at the black-gold curled-horn bow and said, "Would my son be in need of something like this?"
The guards buried their heads on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Cheng Jiu didn't make things difficult for the guard and said, "Leave the things here. Go and tell His Majesty that I'll take note of this."
He knew the Emperor couldn't be angry with the Third Prince. After all, no one knew a tiger so ferocious could breach the fence and enter the hunting grounds. Ultimately, it was this "inadvertent" decision that had prevailed. If the Third Prince were truly punished, this pretext wouldn't hold. But did his son deserve to be the one to pave the way for the Third Prince's misfortune?
The guards retreated in fear.
Cheng Ye looked at the bow on the table and said, "Dad, didn't the big tiger accidentally enter the hunting ground?" He just understood some of it.
Cheng Jiu said calmly, "Someone killed her child, and she came here to seek revenge."
Cheng Ye was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "I
I will take good care of its crying baby from now on."
Cheng Jiu's expression froze: "Crybaby?"
Cheng Ye: "I named the little tiger because its mother tearfully begged its father to adopt it, so I named it Crying Bag so that it would remember its mother for the rest of its life."
Crybaby: Thank you, really.
***
After the autumn hunt, in a small courtyard in the imperial city, a man in black, with only his eyes visible, knelt on the ground and said, "Master, everything went smoothly. The Imperial Master has learned that it was the Third Prince who brought the tiger into the hunting grounds."
The person behind the screen said in a hoarse voice: "Well done, you may leave."
After the man in black left, the person behind the screen murmured to himself: "An Chiyan! This time I will make sure you die without a burial place! Hahahaha..." The sharp female voice cursed like an evil ghost, and seemed crazy.

[Debunking] The story of the tiger mom avenging her daughter is something I made up. I don't know if it would actually happen in real life. So, don't take it too seriously.
