Holding Onto My Man ([BL])

2.3

Don’t think that the position of Emperor was very grand. In fact, this position demanded that he wake before the rooster and sleep later than the dogs, worrying and working hard, needing to handle all of the Imperial edicts piled onto his table. 

While Emperor Tianchen was reading through them, Gu Bai didn’t make any trouble, obediently nestling in the other’s arms. His tail slowly wagged, his eyes also resting upon the edicts.

Although the Wei Country was certainly rich and powerful, and the small neighboring states didn’t dare to provoke them, there were always unforeseen natural disasters.

Wei Country’s fortune for the next few years wasn’t good. The northwestern region had been going through a drought for two years, while the eastern region had been repeatedly flooded. The common people had no way of making a living. They managed to find a decent solution, but natural disasters were difficult to predict. Although Emperor Tianchen had the talent for ruling a country, he had no other alternatives.

In the middle of the plot, Prince Rui whom Su Xinru had conspired with used this to sow discord. 

The uneducated commoners didn’t understand, and adding on the superstitions of this dynasty, they began to complain one by one. So when Prince Rui seized the throne and the natural disasters receded, there was unexpectedly not a single person that protested. They all supported the ascension of the new emperor.

Emperor Tianchen carefully read the edicts with wrinkles on his forehead. Gu Bai’s heart was also heavy.

The original host wanted to stop Su Xinru from harming Emperor Tianchen. So, of course, he needed to think up a way to preserve Emperor Tianchen’s position. It was just that these natural disasters were truly difficult to settle.

Even though Yao could perform magic, the problem was that the original host was too lacking. He couldn’t even transform. If he wanted to move mountains and drain seas, summon lightning and bestow rain, it would be as difficult as scaling the heavens.

When he thought of his current situation, Gu Bai became depressed and couldn’t help but sigh.

“What are you thinking of?”

Emperor Tianchen who had just been reading through the edicts suddenly took note of Gu Bai’s movement. When he saw the other’s human-like movements, his furrowed brows suddenly loosened. He had already determined that this little dog was very special. If it wasn’t a Yao, then it was a supernatural being.

He couldn’t resist putting down his brush and edicts, his hand comfortingly stroking over Gu Bai’s back. 

A dog’s body was typically more sensitive than a person’s, so the petting brought forth a limp, trembling sensation. Gu Bai couldn’t help but let out a satisfied whimper.

After he called out, black lines ran across Gu Bai’s face, but he quickly adapted to it. The original host’s emotions caused him to greatly like being intimate with Emperor Tianchen.

Besides, he noticed that this short moment was similar to the middle of the plot. He wasn’t like other Yao and wasn’t afraid of Emperor Tianchen’s Purple Dragon Qi. Instead, when he was by his side, he could feel indications that his abilities were growing.
