Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 372

Princess Pingkang then realized that Chu Jinxun had so many trump cards up his sleeve.

He has three thousand fully armed private soldiers, his own secret treasury, and the support of the Western Qi. Previously, it was his own elite guards who, in conjunction with the Western Qi forces, broke him out of prison.

Princess Pingkang showed no reaction upon hearing that Xiqi was involved. Her only thought was to rescue Song Yong; she didn't care about Xiqi, or even cooperating with demons and monsters.

Chu Jinxun said, "With my current strength, I am far from being able to launch a palace coup. Is there anything the Grand Princess can do to help?"

Princess Pingkang had already planned it out: "The day after tomorrow is the eve of the Lunar New Year. I will go to the palace to attend the banquet for the royal family. I have some very useful poisons. I can poison the emperor and others without anyone suspecting me."

She still had a lot of the poison she had stolen from the old man Xingju back then, and now was the time to put it to use.

Then he continued, "There's another secret passage from the previous dynasty that only I know about. It leads directly from the north of the city to the palace, enough to lure your three thousand private soldiers into the palace. It's just that it hasn't been used for many years, so I don't know if it's still open. I need to scout it out beforehand to confirm."

This secret passage was built by the previous dynasty. It was originally intended to provide a way out for the royal family in case of crisis, allowing everyone in the palace to escape through the secret passage.

Now, however, Princess Pingkang, a member of the royal family, is using this to smuggle in rebels from outside and stage a palace coup.

If the late emperor knew this in the afterlife, he would probably turn his coffin lid up three zhang high.

Chu Jinxun was overjoyed. He knew that the Grand Princess Pingkang was indeed very useful!

The two continued to discuss the detailed plan for the palace coup, and later exchanged contact information.

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning, when the sky was just beginning to lighten, that Princess Pingkang left, quietly sneaking back to her residence.

She felt no guilt towards the emperor, only nervousness and excitement.

Since the emperor shows her no mercy, then she shouldn't blame him for being ruthless too!

......

Two days later, it will be the winter solstice.

A heavy snowfall had just fallen, covering the entire city of Kyoto like a thick, white blanket. After the snow cleared, the scenery was completely different; pavilions and towers were all draped in silver, shimmering like pearls in the sunlight.

After being urged and pleaded with by Shen Lingjun, Qin Jianxi, the workaholic who will turn five after the New Year, finally returned from the workshop in the suburbs of Beijing.

Moreover, they returned fully loaded with trucks of all sizes.

The truck was loaded with stacks of crystal-clear thin sheets. They resembled ice, but were extremely transparent and not cold to the touch; they also resembled crystal, but such large, colorless, and flawless crystal sheets were unprecedented.

Shen Lingjun exclaimed in surprise, "Where did this crystal ore come from? The quality is amazing!"

It is truly a rare and precious treasure.

Qin Jianxi smiled and introduced to Shen Lingjun, "Mother, this is not crystal, it's called glass. I made it in the workshop when I had nothing to do. It's nothing special."

Then they had people open the layers of packaging on the other cars, which were filled with crystal-clear glass products, some of which were clear and colorless, while others were colorful.

There are also decorative items, such as cups, plates, bowls, jars, boxes, and bonsai ornaments; and various jewelry items, such as glass necklaces, glass beaded flowers, and glass bracelets...
