Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 486: The founder of the new dynasty! A desperate situation with no chance of survival!
Miaoyu didn't know that the only reason she was able to survive was because she was listed among the Twelve Beauties of Jinling.

If it were someone else, no matter how profound the innate divine numbers were, if they were to use Luofu for divination, they would eventually be backlashed and die, with their souls shattered.

In the Red Mansion, a world based on incense and gods, the weight of the supreme being on earth is enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods in heaven and earth. Even in terms of importance to heaven and earth, the emperor on earth surpasses the gods in heaven and earth.

No matter whether it is the gods in heaven or the gods in the underworld, in front of the emperors on earth, they are just empty shells at best.

Even the righteous gods would not dare to calculate the future of the emperors on earth, let alone Luofu, the lord of the three realms who is about to unify the world in the true sense?
It was precisely because of the divination of the future that Miaoyu became less and less confident about entering the palace.

But at this moment, Luo Fu had no idea about the surprise that Jia Yucun was about to bring him.

Being in the Jinling Palace.

Luo Fu looked at Xue Baochai in front of him with interest.

Among the twelve golden hairpins, Xue Baochai had to give up her original plan to go north to the capital because of the sudden appearance of Luofu, and returned to Jinling. By mistake, she became the first golden hairpin to be eaten by Luofu.

But after learning about the feud between Luofu and the four major families, Xue Baochai knew very well that even if it was the servants of the Jia family who really persecuted Luofu, the Xue family was also the same in front of Luofu.

Even if she served him with her whole body and entered Luofu's backyard, it did not mean that the Xue family would be safe.

It is obvious that Luofu is about to become the founder of the new dynasty. Such a person with great talent and luck, even if he shows just a little tendency, countless people will rush to attack the already weak Xue family.

It can be said that there is almost no possibility for the four major families of Jia, Shi, Wang and Xue to continue.

There is only one chance, and that is to occupy the position in Loufu's harem at all costs.

To put it simply, use pillow talk to leave a glimmer of hope for the four major families.

This is also the last struggle made by many big families when facing a catastrophe.

Perhaps doing so may make people feel despicable, shameless or even mean, but it is the only ray of hope in a desperate situation of catastrophe.

As long as Luofu has the women of the four major families around him, it may not be impossible to fight for a chance for the men to survive. As long as the men survive, over time, maybe it will be possible to turn things around.

This is what Xue Baochai thought and did.

The first person she chose was Xiangling, the girl that her brother had been willing to kill people to get.

Although Xue Baochai has entered the palace now and has been favored by Luofu, she has not yet obtained a real identity, and the Jinling Palace is not a place where she can come and go at will.

Xue Baochai neither dared nor could do something like inserting people into the palace without Luofu's permission.

Even after she entered the palace, it was extremely difficult for her to communicate with the outside world, let alone get people in.

Looking at Xue Baochai with interest, Luo Fu asked, "Do you want your sister to enter the palace?"

Xue Baochai bowed and said, "Your Highness, the palace is empty. I have been close to my sister since childhood, and I am willing to emulate the old story of Ehuang and Nvying with my sister."

Luo Fu did not rush to answer Xue Baochai, because the sister Xue Baochai mentioned this time was not a real sister.

To be precise, her so-called sister was just one of them.

That’s right, I don’t know if there is any problem in information exchange.

After receiving the news from Xue Baochai, the Xue family learned that the culprit of the Luofu uprising was forced by the servants of the Jia family. Aunt Xue and Xue Pan, who were just orphans and widows, were completely frightened.

How can it be okay to offend the founder of the new dynasty?
What's more, he was the culprit who almost caused the founder of the new dynasty to rebel.

The frightened Xue mother and daughter immediately went to find the second wife.

After all, this is a matter of life and death for the entire Xue family. Aunt Xue and Xue Pan simply do not have the courage to make a decision.

Even when it came to Xue Baochai's proposal to ask Xiangling to enter the palace, neither Aunt Xue nor Xue Pan even mentioned it. In the eyes of this mother and son, let alone Xiangling, even if Aunt Xue was asked to clean herself up and enter the palace, she would not hesitate.

Although Xue Pan was a playboy and had no brains, he knew that such a matter concerning life and death was not something he could casually comment on.

No matter how beautiful Xiangling is, when it comes to matters of life and death, Xue Pan still understands that he cannot let the little head control the big head.

When Xue Ke, the head of the second branch of the Xue family, learned about this, he was completely dumbfounded.

Among the four major families, the Xue family is definitely the most desolate one. It is from an imperial merchant family and its status is the lowest among the four major families.

Unfortunately, both the head of the first house and the head of the second house passed away one after another. Even now, Xue Ke and his sister Xue Baoqin are still in mourning.

As a result, we were faced with this devastating disaster head on.

Xue Ke's mind went blank.

After a long while, Xue Ke finally came back to his senses and asked impatiently, "Aunt, may I ask if this is true?"

Aunt Xue looked distressed, nodded and said, "To be honest, this is the news that Baochai sent to us after she entered the palace. The Great Emperor Luo Tian was just a scholar in Northern Zhili. He was targeted by the servants of the Jia family because of the treasure hidden in his family. He was forced into a desperate situation and did this great thing of reforming the old and establishing the new. You also know that the four major families have always been closely related. Our Xue family will definitely not be able to escape from this kind of thing."

His face was pale, without a trace of blood. Xue Ke really wanted to wipe out the entire Jia family. To them, this was simply an unprovoked disaster.

Taking a deep breath, Xue Ke said, "Aunt, I wonder if my elder sister has any explanation?"

"Baochai asked me to recognize Xiangling as my daughter and send her to the palace. The Luotian Emperor is also a good person." At this point, Aunt Xue's face flushed a little, and said, "For the Xue family, we have no other choice now."

"Aunt, can my cousin really arrange for someone to enter the palace?" A crisp voice came from the side.

The moment she saw Xue Baoqin, Aunt Xue said with a bitter face: "Can you please help me? This is our Xue family's last chance."

As if she had made a decision, Xue Baoqin said, "Aunt, please send me to the palace as well."

"Sister." Xue Ke was suddenly surprised.

Xue Pan was smart at this time, and blurted out, "Doesn't Sister Baoqin still have an engagement?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Xue Ke quickly understood.

For the current Xue family, sending Xue Baoqin into the palace is undoubtedly the best choice.

Yes, Xue Baoqin is still engaged to the Mei Hanlin family. But don't forget that the Xue family is one of the four major families and is destined to be targeted by the Luo Tian Emperor. Once the news leaks, even if Xue Baoqin has married into the Mei family, it will probably be regarded as a token of surrender, or she will be killed silently to express her submission and loyalty to the Luo Tian Emperor.

Either... or just live a life worse than death.

It can be said that anyone who knows about the hatred between Emperor Luo Tian and the four major families, at this time of reform and opening up, with a little bit of brains, will do everything in their power to cut ties with the four major families.

Now for Xue Baoqin, entering the palace is the best choice.

As for the engagement with Mei Hanlin's family, I believe that if Mei Hanlin knew about the feud between Emperor Luo Tian and the four major families, he would wish to have nothing to do with the Xue family from beginning to end, and there would be no engagement at all.

After figuring it all out in an instant, Xue Ke looked at his sister helplessly.

Then he said to Xue Pan, "Cousin, the engagement between Baoqin and Mei Hanlin's family has ceased to exist since the moment our four major families had a grudge against Emperor Luo Tian."

Although Xue Pan was arrogant, he was not a fool. At least, when it came to matters involving the punishment of nine generations of a family, his mind worked quickly.

Xue Pan also understood it in an instant. He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "It's all the fault of the Jia family, damn bastards. If it weren't for the Jia family, how could we have ended up like this now."

"It's no use saying this now." Xue Ke said, "Big sister's decision is the only chance for our Xue family to survive."

“It should… it shouldn’t be that serious, right?” Aunt Xue said hesitantly, “It seems that the ruler of the new dynasty didn’t destroy any families in Jinling except the Zhen family. We…”

"That's because the new dynasty hasn't completely completed the reform!" Xue Ke said with a heavy tone: "In any era of change, when the foundation of the dynasty is not yet stable, there will naturally be more conciliation. But once the world is completely pacified, looking back at the past and present, which dynasty will leave behind the dignitaries of the previous dynasty?"

"You mean..." Aunt Xue seemed to have thought of something terrible and said, "All these things in Jinling City now... will be..."

Xue Ke nodded affirmatively and said, "Aunt, don't hold on to any luck, and don't even think about it. The founder of the new dynasty will be merciful and let go of the dignitaries of the previous dynasty. Even if... even if Baochai and Baoqin are sent to the palace, my Xue family will never have a chance to turn things around in one or two generations in the future."

Xue Pan's eyes suddenly widened and he said angrily: "Then what else should we send?"

He looked at his cousin speechlessly. Although he knew that Xue Pan was unreliable and had a nickname of "Dai Ba Wang", it was still a nice name. What's more, those who were not inferior to the Xue family, or even stronger, even called Xue Pan "Xue Big Head".

It just has a big head, but no brains at all.

"Cousin, if it weren't for Baochai and Baoqin, my Xue family would have been completely implicated and would never be able to recover." Xue Ke said in a heavy tone.

Now Xue Pan was frightened.

After the first and second wives of the Xue family discussed it, they all agreed in the end to send Xue Baoqin and Xiangling to the Jinling Palace together.

In order to win over Xiangling, Aunt Xue even hastily registered Xiangling under her name.

If it weren't for the situation in Luofu, the Luotian Army would not have risen up.

Under normal circumstances, if Xiangling was registered under Aunt Xue's name, her identity would be that of a young lady of the Xue family.

But now, Xiangling and Xue Baoqin can only serve as tools for the Xue family to express their submission to Luofu. Their purpose is to preserve the Xue family, or at least to leave them a glimmer of hope.

Inside the Jinling Palace.

Faced with Xue Baochai's request, Luo Fu remained silent.

The reason why Xue Baochai was so frank and expressed to Luofu her intention to let her sister enter the palace without any concealment was purely because after knowing Luofu's experience, Xue Baochai knew that the four major families who were closely related to the Jia family were already guilty in the new dynasty.

Even the kind of crime that is unforgivable.

In this situation, they cannot afford to resort to any tricks.

What's more, how could Luofu, the founder of a new regime, not see through such thoughts?

To a certain extent, Xue Baochai's frankness now is completely a way of belittling herself in order to win Luo Fu's tiny bit of sympathy.

As old ministers of the previous dynasty who were destined to be liquidated by the new dynasty, especially those who had a deep hatred for the founder of the new dynasty, failure to show sufficient submission would only result in complete extermination. Even this process did not require Luofu, the founder of the new dynasty, to take action.

He only needed to express a little bit of his intentions against the four major families, no matter whether it was Jia, Shi, Wang, or Xue, they would be torn to pieces in an instant by countless dignitaries of the new dynasty and old ministers of the previous dynasty who would pounce on them like crazy.

The powerful people of the new dynasty wanted to show their agreement with Luofu, while the old officials of the previous dynasty wanted to seize this hard-earned opportunity to jump ship.

To some extent, having offended Luofu, the four major families are in a desperate situation with no chance of survival. The only ray of hope is to let Luofu fully experience the pleasure of revenge.

And the best way to demonstrate this method is to actively lie on the chopping block.

He glanced at the gift list presented by Xue Baochai.

The gift list included various donations from the Xue family, huge amounts of real gold and silver, and various treasures from the treasury.

This donation was sent in the name of Xue Baochai's dowry.

Apart from these treasures, the most eye-catching things on the gift list were undoubtedly two names.

Xue Baoqin and Xue Xiangling.

The former is Xue Baochai's legitimate cousin and the legitimate daughter of her uncle who is born of the same mother as her father.

But Xue Xiangling was obviously just a member of the Xue family.

On this point, the Xue family did not hide it, and they dared not hide it.

Logically speaking, a normal dowry should include maids and old women.

However, it was not on the gift list. After all, the Jinling Palace was the temporary residence of Luofu, the founder of the new dynasty. It had strict rules and regulations, so how could it be easy to enter?

Even if the Xue family wanted to send it, they had to get Luofu's permission first.

He casually handed the gift list to Xue Baochai again and said, "Then let your two sisters live with you for the time being."

Xue Baochai was delighted and thanked him quickly.

When Luofu received the first two of the Twelve Beauties in the second volume, Jia Yucun soon presented Luofu with two more golden hairpins, one original and one set.
