Embarking on the Path of a Villainous Advisor

Ren Baqian had only been studying for a short while when the imperial guard named Xin Zhe came in. She delivered some medicine to the second floor before coming down to address Ren Baqian, "Follow me to meet Her Majesty."

Pushing his pen and paper aside, Ren Baqian abandoned his work and followed her.

Lin Qiaole was seething as she glared at Ren Baqian's silhouette. She packed the stationery after giving only two angry snorts on account of Ren Baqian's daily gift of White Rabbit Creamy Candy.

The familiar path they walked led back to the usual palace. After entering, Ren Baqian noticed a large man wearing an official's robe standing inside.

The large man's robe was slightly different from his own. They both had the same black color, but the large man's had a wild beast motif and a yellow collar.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," Ren Baqian stopped one step behind the large man and greeted the empress.
