"As long as they understand their situation, they will know who is really in control of the situation."

"And those who choose to betray will pay the price for their foolishness."

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

Ying Yuan's eyes were cold, as if he had foreseen the coming victory.

"This storm has entered its most critical moment."

"All the chess pieces have been set. Now we just have to wait for them to fall into our trap."

Chen Ping immediately stepped back to carry out Ying Yuan's orders.

The study was quiet again. Ying Yuan stood in front of the window, gazing at the palace in the distance.

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

Whether it is the rebellion on the border or the undercurrent in the court, they will be completely crushed under his control.

"All enemies will be wiped out in this storm."

His eyes revealed great calmness and decisiveness.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

A eunuch hurried into the study, looking nervous.

"Sir, the Queen invites you again!"

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

The Queen summoned him again at this critical moment, obviously something important had happened.

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

The eunuch bowed and retreated, but Ying Yuan's eyes remained cold.

"The Queen's summons at this time must be related to the unrest in the court."

"It seems that she has noticed the change in the situation."

He pondered secretly in his heart, then walked out of the study and headed towards Fengyi Palace.

Inside Fengyi Palace, the Queen sat on the main throne with a solemn expression and a hint of 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 saluted slightly, his tone showing a hint of respect, but his eyes remained calm and alert.

The Queen's eyes swept over Ying Yuan, and then she said softly: "Yuan'er, the situation in the court has become increasingly complicated."

"I want to know what your plan is for dealing with this?"

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

"Don't worry, mother. Yuan'er has already known the situation in the court."

"Although the actions of those rebels were rampant, every step they took was under my control."

The Queen frowned slightly, and then said, "Yuan'er, your plan is so meticulous, I feel relieved."

"However, I still hope that you can act with caution. After all, the current situation is already very sensitive."

Ying Yuan looked determined and said coldly, "Mother, Yuan'er knows his limits."

"But please rest assured, no matter how the situation changes, Yuan'er will not let anyone shake the foundation of Daqin."

The queen's eyes revealed a bit of complexity, and then she said: "Okay, Yuan'er, I believe you."

"But you must remember that the forces in the palace are complicated and you must deal with them with caution."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, and then said: "Yuan'er will remember mother's teachings."

After leaving Fengyi Palace, Ying Yuan's expression remained calm.

He knew that the Queen's attitude at this time was actually a test, trying to understand his position in this storm.

But no matter how she tried, Ying Yuan would not let anyone influence his plan.

"Everything in the storm is under my control."

Ying Yuan's heart was full of confidence and calmness.

He knew that he would be the ultimate winner of this storm.

Those who attempt to disrupt the situation will eventually pay the price for their stupidity. Under the night, the palace in Xianyang seemed exceptionally quiet, but beneath this apparent tranquility, there were actually undercurrents.

Ying Yuan returned to the study, his brows slightly furrowed, his thoughts churning.

Having just left the Queen's place, he realized that the situation in the palace was more complicated than he had expected.

The Queen's temptation made him alert that this was not just a contest within and outside the court, but even the center of imperial power was beginning to be involved.

"Although the Queen Mother is testing us, her attitude shows that the situation in the palace is gradually getting out of control."

Ying Yuan whispered to himself, with a cold light in his eyes.

"Both the Queen Mother and the Empress began to pay attention to the direction of this storm."

“But at the end of the day, I’m in control of everything.”

He sat down slowly, staring at the map on the table.

The situation on the border remained complicated, with harassment by the Huns becoming more frequent, and rebels in the court were conspiring with border generals.

All of this seemed like a huge net, covering Ying Yuan like an overwhelming force.

But he did not panic, instead he wove his own layout within this web.

"Chen Ping."

Ying Yuan said in a deep voice, and Chen Ping immediately walked into the study, his expression still calm and steady.

"Son."

Ying Yuan's eyes were cold, and he said slowly: "Order the Jinyiwei to fully monitor the movements around the Queen and the Queen Mother."

"I want to know every move they make, both internally and externally."

Chen Ping nodded slightly, pondering in his heart.

"Sir, have you noticed any new changes in the palace?"

Ying Yuan's eyes were sharp, and he sneered, "They are moving."

"The Queen is testing my stance, while the Queen Mother is watching from the sidelines. Both sides are waiting for the situation to become clear."

"But no matter what they want to do, I have to be one step ahead."

"As long as I know their movements, I can decide when to take action."

Chen Ping nodded, and then said: "I understand. I will arrange for the Royal Guards to closely monitor every move in the palace."

Ying Yuan's eyes were cold, and he said, "Not only in the palace, but also in the border areas, we cannot relax."

"The Huns' harassment is becoming more frequent and has begun to approach our defense line."

"Inform the generals at the border to be on high alert and not to slack off in any way."

"I know that the rebels are trying to use the power of the Xiongnu to shake the Qin Dynasty, but we must take the initiative."

Chen Ping took a deep breath, his tone solemn.

"Sir, the Xiongnu are becoming more and more bold. It's clear that there is a bigger force behind them."

"Should we take action in advance to cut off their connection with the rebels in the DPRK?"

Ying Yuan shook his head, with a hint of coldness in his tone.

"Now is not the time."

"The rebels have not yet fully revealed their cards. I need them to be more thoroughly exposed."

"They thought the Xiongnu's actions could threaten us, but they didn't know that I had already set up an ambush on the border."

Chen Ping's eyes lit up slightly, and then he said, "Sir, have you made arrangements at the border?"

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

"Every move of the Xiongnu is under my surveillance."

"The closer they get to the border, the closer they are to the trap I set."

"What I want is not a simple counterattack, but to completely destroy their main force."

"As long as the main force of the Xiongnu is weakened, the rebels in the court will lose their greatest support."

Chen Ping secretly admired Ying Yuan's careful consideration of every step he took. (End of this chapter)
