Inside Fengyi Palace, the Queen sat on the main throne with a solemn expression and a hint of unspeakable worry in her eyes.

Ying Yuan walked into the hall with a calm expression and a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Yuan'er has met the Queen."

He bowed slightly, with a hint of respect in his tone.

The queen's eyes swept over Ying Yuan, and then she said softly, "Yuan'er, no need to be polite."

"I summoned you here today to discuss an important matter."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, with a look of calm analysis on his face.

"What instructions does the Queen Mother have? Yuan'er is all ears."

The queen pondered for a moment, then said, "Yuan'er, the situation in the court is becoming more and more complicated, especially with the constant harassment from the Xiongnu on the border. Many ministers in the court are quite worried about this matter."

"I want to know what solutions you have for this?"

Ying Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he realized in his heart the purpose of the Queen's summons.

She was testing herself, wondering how she would cope with the storm.

"Don't worry, mother. Yuan'er already knows the situation on the border."

"The Xiongnu's harassment is just to test the defenses of our Qin Empire. I have deployed heavy troops on the border, ready to fight back at any time."

"As for those neutral factions in the court, I have already mastered every move they make."

The Queen's expression changed slightly, and she was obviously surprised at Ying Yuan's confidence.

"Yuan'er, your plan is so meticulous that I feel relieved."

"However, I still hope that you can be more cautious in your actions. After all, the situation in the court has become very sensitive."

Ying Yuan smiled slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Mother, Yuan'er understands your concerns."

"But please rest assured, Yuan'er will not let any traitor go unpunished."

"Whether it is the neutral faction in the court or the Xiongnu on the border, their fate will be decided by Yuan'er himself."

The queen's eyes sank slightly, and then she sighed softly.

"Okay, Yuan'er, since you are so confident, I won't say any more."

“I just hope that you can remain calm when dealing with these things and not cause greater unrest.”

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, with firm determination in his tone.

"Don't worry, mother. Yuan'er knows what to do."

On the way out of Fengyi Palace, Ying Yuan's expression remained calm, but he had already begun to speed up his deployment in his mind.

He knew that although the Queen's attitude was neutral, she obviously had her own plans in this storm.

However, no matter what her plan is, it will not affect the game that Ying Yuan has already set up.

Everything is already under his control.

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

Ying Yuan smiled coldly, as if he had foreseen the dawn of victory.

After returning to the study, Ying Yuan immediately summoned Chen Ping.

"Order the Royal Guards to take action."

"Yan Su, Li Jue, and all officials involved in the rebellion, arrest them immediately."

Chen Ping bowed his head deeply, and then said, "I will arrange it immediately."

Ying Yuan's eyes were stern and his voice was low and full of majesty.

"I want to completely quell this unrest in the shortest possible time."

"Let all those with ill intentions know that the price of betraying the Qin is death."

Chen Ping nodded slightly, secretly admiring Ying Yuan's decisiveness and determination.

The study fell silent again. Ying Yuan stood in front of the window with a cold look in his eyes.

"This storm has reached the moment of decisive battle."

"Whether it is the Xiongnu or the rebels in the court, their fate will be completely decided on this night."

His eyes sparkled with immense confidence and determination.

He knew that he was already standing on the brink of victory. All enemies would be completely destroyed in his thunderous counterattack.

Ying Yuan's footsteps sounded in the study, light and steady.

The sound of wind outside hit the window from time to time, as if playing a prelude to the coming storm.

The entire Xianyang city seemed to be shrouded in a depressing atmosphere, but Ying Yuan's mentality remained as calm as water.

He stood in front of the map, his fingers slowly running across the line from Xianyang to the border, his brows slightly furrowed.

This was a war on two fronts, not only was there harassment from the Huns on the border, but there was also secret rebellion by rebels within the court.

“The storm is about to break, but I have the center of the storm under my control.”

Ying Yuan whispered to himself, his eyes flashing with deep thought.

Chen Ping walked slowly into the study, looking solemn, holding a secret letter in his hand.

"Sir, this is the latest secret report just sent by the Royal Guards. The whereabouts of Yan Su and Li Jue are now completely under control."

"They secretly contacted several generals in the border areas, intending to use the situation in the border areas to disrupt the court, but everything fell into the trap we set."

Ying Yuan took the secret letter, read it quickly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"very good."

"Just as I expected, Yan Su and Li Jue can no longer hold back."

"They thought they could shake the foundation of the Qin Empire by creating unrest on the border, but they didn't realize that every move they made was to help me."

Chen Ping smiled slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his tone.

"Young Master's plan is far-sighted and the rebels have no chance at all."

"I have already arranged all the actions, and we will be able to wipe out the enemy once you give the order."

Ying Yuan slowly put down the secret letter in his hand, his eyes cold and firm.

"Now is not the time."

"What I want is not their temporary defeat, but their complete destruction."

"These rebels have been lurking in the court for many years. They rely not only on the power of the Xiongnu, but also on the so-called neutrals in the court."

"What I want is to give them the most fatal blow when they think they have won."

Chen Ping nodded, and then said, "I understand."

"My lord, I hope they will fall into my trap and I will completely expose their conspiracy at the most critical moment, leaving them with no way out."

Ying Yuan smiled gently, his eyes revealing great confidence.

"exactly."

"Every step they took was a trap set by me. They thought they were in control of the situation, but in fact, they were doomed to fail from the beginning."

"And now, what I want is the moment when they are completely exposed."

Chen Ping secretly admired Ying Yuan for every step he took.

He not only wants to defeat the enemy, but also makes the enemy completely collapse in despair.

"I will continue to closely monitor their movements and ensure that they are all caught in one fell swoop."

Ying Yuan nodded slowly, and then said: "Also, several generals on the border must be dealt with properly."

"Although they were deceived by the rebels, many of their generals were actually loyal, but they were controlled by the power of Yan Su and Li Jue."

"I can consider giving these people a chance to live, but they must first understand that standing on the side of the rebels is a dead end."

Chen Ping raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked, "Sir, how do you plan to deal with these generals?"

A hint of coldness flashed across Ying Yuan's eyes, and he immediately said, "Send a message to the loyal generals on the border, ordering them to gradually exert pressure and create chaos, so that these hesitant generals will feel the pressure."

"At the same time, they spread rumors that they could avoid being liquidated if they surrendered."

"In this situation, they will definitely make a choice."

Chen Ping nodded slightly, secretly admiring Ying Yuan's foresight and means.

He not only took the overall situation into consideration, but also made careful arrangements for every detail.

"My Lord is indeed far-sighted. I will follow your plan and ensure that those generals make their choices as soon as possible."

Ying Yuan smiled coldly, and then said: "They have no choice." (End of this chapter)
