"Young Master is very observant."

"However, I am worried that if this situation continues, conflicts will arise between the Queen and the Queen Mother sooner or later."

"Especially when the campaign to eliminate the remnants of the aristocratic families gradually begins, the opposition forces in the court will become more rampant."

Ying Yuan said coldly: "The conflicts in the palace have already existed, but they are just waiting for an opportunity now."

"Whether it's the queen or the queen mother, they don't want to intensify the conflict at this time."

"But they also understand that the situation has reached a point of no return."

Chen Ping pondered for a moment, then said, "My lord, you are right."

"Then, should I send someone to further observe the movements in the palace to prevent any unexpected events?"

Ying Yuan shook his head slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of deep thought.

"No need."

"I already knew every move of the Queen and the Queen Mother."

"Every move they make now is to test the direction of me and the government, but they don't have the power to really intervene."

"As long as I am in control of the situation, they can only act within the boundaries I set."

Chen Ping's eyes flashed with admiration, and he immediately said, "Sir, you are wise. I know how to deal with this."

Ying Yuan slowly walked to the window and looked at the palace in the distance.

"This storm will eventually sweep across the entire Qin State, but only those who truly control the storm can stand firm in the end."

"And those who have ulterior motives, whether they are neutrals in the court or the forces in the palace, will eventually destroy themselves in this storm."

Chen Ping responded in a low voice: "I will ensure that all operations proceed smoothly."

Ying Yuan's eyes were sharp and his voice was calm and firm.

"The collusion between Yan Su and Li Jue is just the tip of the iceberg. There are deeper forces hidden behind them."

"But no matter how hidden these forces are, their fate cannot escape my control."

"This situation has reached the most critical moment."

Chen Ping bowed his head and said respectfully: "I will continue to observe closely and report any developments at any time."

Ying Yuan waved his hand gently, signaling Chen Ping to step back.

The room fell silent again.

Ying Yuan stood in front of the window, his deep gaze still fixed on the distance.

He knew that he was standing at the center of the storm.

Whether it was the neutrals in the court, the generals on the frontier, or the queen and queen mother in the palace, their every move was under his control.

The final outcome of this storm will be decided by him personally.

The wind blew in from the window, bringing a bit of coolness.

A slight sneer appeared on Ying Yuan's lips.

"Everything will eventually return to peace."

He whispered to himself, as if announcing the end of the whole situation.

At this moment, there were rapid footsteps outside the door.

"Sir, there is urgent news outside!"

A eunuch hurried into the study, looking a little nervous and anxious.

Ying Yuan turned around slowly and said calmly: "Speak."

The eunuch bowed and replied, "Secret reports came from the border that the Xiongnu army has suddenly increased its harassment of the border defenses, and someone in the court has privately sent a message that it seems to be cooperating with the Xiongnu's actions."

Ying Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, he clenched his fists, and his voice was low and full of majesty.

"Sure enough, the Xiongnu and the rebels in the court have begun new actions."

"It seems that they can't wait to destroy our Great Qin's defenses."

He turned his gaze to Chen Ping and said coldly: "Pass the order to immediately reinforce the border defense line and order the loyal generals to prepare for a counterattack."

"I have given them enough time, now it is time for them to pay the price."

Chen Ping nodded slightly, and then said: "I will arrange it immediately."

Ying Yuan's eyes were still as sharp as a knife, as if he had already foreseen the upcoming battle.

"All plans are ready."

"Now, we just have to wait for them to fall into our trap." He smiled coldly, then turned back to the desk and continued to read the secret reports on it.

This storm has reached the moment of decisive battle.

And he, Ying Yuan, was already ready for the final victory.

As the night grew darker, a heavy sense of oppression seemed to shroud the entire Xianyang city.

Ying Yuan sat at his desk, staring at the battle report in his hand with a frown.

The situation has reached the most critical moment, and every decision he makes may determine the final direction of the storm.

In the study, Chen Ping stood silently by the side with a serious expression.

"Sir, the situation on the border is becoming increasingly complicated."

"The Xiongnu's actions are becoming more frequent, and the rebels in the court seem to have begun to secretly cooperate with them."

Ying Yuan's eyes were cold, he tapped the table lightly, his voice low and firm.

"They are forcing me to take action."

"Since they are so impatient, I don't have to wait any longer."

"It's time for all the chess pieces to move."

Chen Ping nodded slightly, and then said, "Sir, when are you going to take action?"

Ying Yuan smiled coldly, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

“Take action now.”

"Order the Royal Guards to launch an all-out attack to arrest Yan Su, Li Jue, and all those involved in this conspiracy."

"At the same time, order the generals on the border to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Xiongnu's harassment and lure their main force into the trap set by our army."

Chen Ping's heart trembled slightly. Ying Yuan's decision was decisive and sharp, without any hesitation.

"I understand. I will convey the order immediately."

Ying Yuan stood up slowly, his eyes were cold and his tone was full of determination.

"The conspiracy between Yan Su and Li Jue has been exposed, and their fate is doomed to destruction."

"This storm has entered its final stage."

Chen Ping then bowed and stepped back to carry out Ying Yuan's order.

The study room regained its tranquility once again. Ying Yuan stood in front of the window, gazing at the palace in the distance with deep eyes.

He knew that he was about to launch a shocking counterattack.

Whether it is the rebels in the court or the Huns on the border, all enemies will be completely destroyed in this counterattack.

"Everything is already under my control."

He whispered to himself, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"The Xiongnu thought they could weaken the power of our Great Qin through constant harassment, but they had already fallen into the trap I set."

"As for those rebels in the court, they tried to use the power of the Xiongnu to shake the court, but they didn't realize that I had already seen their every move."

Ying Yuan smiled coldly, his heart full of confidence.

He knew that he had taken control of the situation.

This battle was not only a counterattack against the foreign enemy, the Huns, but also a comprehensive purge of all those with ulterior motives in the court.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

A eunuch hurried into the study, looking nervous.

"Sir, the Queen invites you!"

Ying Yuan frowned slightly, and suddenly became a little alert.

The Queen's summons at this time was obviously related to the changes in the situation.

He thought for a moment, then said coldly: "Tell the Queen that I will be there later."

The eunuch retreated respectfully, and Ying Yuan turned his gaze to the map on the table, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"The Queen suddenly summoned me. It seems that the situation in the palace has begun to become unstable."

"However, whether it is the Queen or the Queen Mother, their power is not enough to shake the situation I have set up."

He thought calmly for a moment, then walked out of the study and headed for Fengyi Palace. (End of this chapter)
