It was a dark night and in Xianyang city, Feng Quji's mansion was brightly lit.

At this time, Feng Quji could no longer wait. He knew that the fate he was about to face was either victory or complete destruction.

What he holds in his hand is the last bargaining chip and the last hope.

"The time has come and we can't delay any longer."

Feng Quji stood in the center of the meeting hall in the mansion, with a resolute light in his eyes.

"Everyone, there is no turning back now."

"Only by taking action can we preserve everything we have."

He looked around at several trusted ministers with a hint of severity in his eyes.

Although these people were nurtured by him, at this moment, a hint of panic appeared in their eyes.

"Lord Feng, the situation in the court is already very unfavorable."

A minister said in a trembling voice.

"Ying Yuan holds military power, and his Jinyiwei has monitored every corner of the capital."

"If we act rashly, I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, Feng Quji suddenly slammed the table and stood up, angrily asking, "Afraid of what?"

"Are you afraid of failure?"

"Are we just going to sit there and wait for Ying Yuan to eliminate us one by one?"

There was endless anger and anxiety in his voice.

"If we act now, there may still be a glimmer of hope."

"If we delay any further, once Ying Yuan has complete control of the situation, we will have no chance!"

Upon hearing this, the other ministers looked at each other. Although they were filled with fear, they also knew that what Feng Quji said was true.

If they don't take action now, their fate will be sealed.

"Lord Feng is right. We have no way out."

Another minister whispered.

"In that case, let's go all out."

Feng Quji nodded, his eyes filled with endless determination.

"it is good."

"Tonight is our last chance."

"Pass the order down, immediately mobilize all the personal soldiers and prepare to raid the East Palace."

"We must succeed in one strike so that we can control the court, hold Ying Yuan hostage, and force him to abdicate."

The ministers nodded and began to act.

Feng Quji stood in the middle of the hall with a gloomy look in his eyes, praying silently in his heart that this operation would be successful.

However, he didn't know that Ying Yuan had already set up a tight net and was waiting for his final move.

In the East Palace, Ying Yuan stood quietly on the high platform, staring coldly at Feng Quji's mansion in the distance.

He knew that Feng Quji could no longer suppress his anger and would definitely launch a final attack tonight.

"Feng Quji has no way out."

Ying Yuan muttered to himself coldly, his eyes flashing with endless determination.

"Sir, there is news from Feng Quji's residence that they are mobilizing troops and preparing to raid the East Palace."

Chen Ping walked forward slowly, speaking in a low voice.

"It seems like they want to control you through the raid and then use it as a threat."

Ying Yuan sneered, his tone revealing endless coldness.

"Feng Quji is really a fantastic person."

"He thinks he can control me with this little force?"

"He's just courting his own destruction."

Chen Ping nodded and said, "Sir, although Feng Quji's troops are not many, if we are not prepared, it may cause a brief chaos."

"Shall I mobilize the troops immediately and prepare for defense?"

Ying Yuan shook his head slightly, his eyes still calm and firm.

"No need."

"Feng Quji's power is no longer something to be feared."

"Order the Royal Guards to immediately surround Feng Quji's residence and not let anyone escape."

"I will wait for him to take the last step, and then I will catch him in one fell swoop."

Chen Ping nodded in acceptance of the order and then left.

Ying Yuan stood alone on the high platform, staring into the darkness in the distance, as if he had seen through everything.

He knew this moment was coming.

Feng Quji's fate is irreversible.

"Feng Quji, you think you can still struggle, but in fact, you have already lost your chance."

"Tonight is your end." Ying Yuan muttered to himself coldly, his voice revealing endless coldness and determination.

At this moment, a Jinyiwei hurriedly walked onto the platform with a nervous expression.

"Sir, Feng Quji's personal soldiers have assembled and are heading towards the East Palace."

Ying Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Feng Quji finally took action."

"He thought this was his last chance, but in reality, this was my trap."

"Pass the order down, Jinyiwei will take action immediately and block the surrounding areas of the East Palace."

“All entrances and exits must be closely monitored and no one is allowed to enter without permission.”

"When Feng Quji's personal soldiers approach, it will be time for us to take action."

The Jinyiwei took the order and left, but Ying Yuan's eyes remained calm and deep.

This moment determines the future of the entire Qin Dynasty.

Feng Quji's surprise attack could no longer change anything.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards had secretly set up a tight net around the Eastern Palace. No matter how hard Feng Quji's personal soldiers advanced, they could not break through the layers of blockade.

Feng Quji led his personal soldiers to the outside of the East Palace. When he saw the towering palace walls and majestic palace gates, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"As long as we control Ying Yuan, there is still hope."

He whispered to the confidant beside him, his tone revealing uneasiness.

However, he didn't know that he had already fallen into Ying Yuan's control.

Just as the guards were about to approach the East Palace, a low command sounded.

"Do it!"

In an instant, the Jinyiwei who were lying in ambush all around rushed out like a tide and quickly surrounded Feng Quji's personal soldiers.

Feng Quji was suddenly startled and realized that he had fallen into Ying Yuan's ambush.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

He shouted loudly and tried to lead his soldiers to break through, but it was too late.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards had already blocked all the retreat routes, and Feng Quji's personal soldiers had no way of breaking through.

The battle broke out in an instant, and Feng Quji's personal soldiers fell one after another under the thundering attack of the Jinyiwei.

Feng Quji stood in the center of the battlefield, his eyes full of despair.

"How could I fail?"

There was endless pain and regret in his voice.

However, everything is irreversible.

Ying Yuan stood coldly on the high platform of the East Palace, overlooking the battle whose outcome had already been determined.

Feng Quji's failure was a foregone conclusion.

"Feng Quji, your era is over."

Ying Yuan muttered to himself coldly, his voice revealing endless coldness and determination.

"Jinyiwei, arrest Feng Quji."

Following Ying Yuan's order, several Jinyiwei quickly rushed towards Feng Quji and held him firmly under control.

Feng Quji's face was pale and his eyes were full of despair.

"I lost..."

He whispered, with a deep sense of weakness in his voice.

Ying Yuan slowly walked down the platform and stood in front of Feng Quji, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"You were doomed to fail from the start."

"You think you can turn the tables with this power, but you don't know that I have already seen all your plans."

Feng Quji trembled and said, "I...I just want to protect the honor of my Feng family."

Ying Yuan smiled coldly, his tone full of endless sarcasm.

"honor?"

"You have lost your honor long ago."

"You who betrayed the Qin Dynasty are destined to pay the price."

Feng Quji’s face turned pale, he lowered his head and said no more.

He knew that he had no chance of turning the situation around.

"Take it down."

Ying Yuan said coldly, and the Jinyiwei immediately took Feng Quji away.

This power struggle has finally come to an end.

The downfall of Feng Quji marked Ying Yuan's complete victory.

The opposition forces in the court will collapse with Feng Quji's failure.

Ying Yuan stood on the high platform of the East Palace, looking down at the distant Xianyang City, his eyes calm and deep. (End of this chapter)
