Ying Yuan said softly, "Tell the Royal Guards to continue monitoring the movements of the Queen and the Queen Mother, but don't alert them for now."

"I want them to think they are still in a safe place until I decide to unveil the final chapter of this storm."

Chen Ping smiled slightly, and then said: "I will make proper arrangements."

Ying Yuan's eyes were cold and his voice was low and powerful.

"This war is not only about fighting the Xiongnu externally, but also about cleansing the internal affairs."

"All those who betrayed the Qin Dynasty must pay the price."

Chen Ping bowed and retreated, but Ying Yuan's eyes remained cold.

He knew that the storm had entered its most critical moment.

Whether it was the Huns on the border, the rebels in the court, or even the undercurrents in the palace, their cards were gradually revealed in this storm.

But he always controls the whole situation.

"No matter how fierce the storm is, in the end, I will be the only winner."

His eyes sparkled with incomparable determination and confidence.

Time passed quietly, and the night outside grew darker.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the study again.

A Jinyiwei leader walked quickly into the study with a nervous look on his face.

"Sir, some officials in the rebel party have begun to gather secretly and seem to be planning a large-scale operation."

Ying Yuan's gaze suddenly turned cold, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Sure enough, they couldn't hold back."

The Jinyiwei leader continued, "According to our intelligence, Li Jue and Yan Su have already met secretly, and they are discussing further plans with the Xiongnu envoys."

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

"These rats thought the Xiongnu could be their backers, but they didn't know that they were on their way to an end."

"Inform the Royal Guards to continue monitoring their every move, but do not act rashly."

"I need them to be completely exposed."

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard respectfully accepted the order and immediately withdrew.

Ying Yuan's eyes were cold, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, his thoughts running fast.

"Li Jue and Yan Su have already started to act, which means their plan has entered the final stage."

“But this is my opportunity.”

"As long as they reveal more flaws, I can take advantage of the situation and catch them all in one fell swoop."

He stood up, his eyes deep, and walked to the window.

The wind outside was still howling, as if the storm was approaching.

"All enemies will be completely destroyed in this storm."

His voice was deep and powerful, as if it had already announced the fate of these rebels.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door again.

A eunuch walked into the study and said respectfully, "Sir, the Queen Mother invites you."

Ying Yuan was slightly startled, then frowned slightly.

"The Queen Mother summoned me at this time. Could it be that she noticed something?"

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

The eunuch left, but Ying Yuan's eyes remained calm.

"The Queen Mother took action at this time, obviously she has noticed the change in the situation in the palace."

"It seems that she has already started to take action."

He smiled gently, his eyes revealing great confidence.

"No matter what their purpose is, in the end, I will be the one controlling this storm."

As I walked out of the study, the wind whistled past.

Ying Yuan's figure was still upright, and his steps were steady and firm.

No matter how fierce the storm is, he always stands in the center of the storm, calmly controlling everything.

"All enemies and conspiracies will be wiped out by my sword."

He whispered to himself.

Ying Yuan walked quickly towards the Queen Mother's bedroom, having already planned a response plan in his mind.

He understood that the Queen Mother's sudden summons at this time must not be just because she was concerned about what was happening in the palace.

This meeting was a contest of power.

"The Queen Mother has begun to realize the changes in the situation, and she wants to find her own place in this storm." Ying Yuan whispered to himself, his eyes flashing with cold light.

"But no matter how she wants to intervene, I am the only one who can lead this storm."

Walking into Fengyi Palace, the atmosphere inside the palace was solemn.

The Queen Mother sat in the center, looking dignified, with a look of calmness and temptation in her eyes.

"Yuan'er, you're here."

The Queen Mother's voice was calm, but contained deep meaning.

Ying Yuan bowed slightly, his tone respectful.

"Yuan'er pays respect to the Queen Mother. I wonder what instructions the Queen Mother has for you?"

The Queen Mother glanced at him and said slowly, "Yuan'er, the situation in the court has become increasingly complicated recently. The Xiongnu on the border are ready to make a move, and the situation in the palace is also becoming increasingly tense."

"I want to know what you think of these situations?"

Ying Yuan sneered in his heart but remained calm on his face.

He knew that the Queen Mother was testing whether he had the situation under control.

"The Queen Mother is very observant. Yuan'er must have made arrangements long ago."

"Although the harassment from the Xiongnu is rampant, the border generals have already set up defenses under the command of Yuan'er. The Xiongnu will never have a chance to shake the foundation of our Great Qin."

"As for the situation in the court, although some officials have ill intentions, Yuan'er will ensure that their plots have nowhere to hide."

There was a hint of relief in the Queen Mother's eyes, but more of it was temptation.

"Yuan'er, your plan is indeed far-reaching."

"However, the forces in the palace are complicated, and I don't want anyone to take advantage of the opportunity to shake the stability of Daqin."

Ying Yuan nodded, with a hint of firmness in his tone.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Yuan'er will ensure the stability of the court and will never allow anyone to disrupt the situation in Daqin."

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, with a deep look in her eyes.

"Yuan'er is indeed the pillar of our Great Qin."

"However, I heard that the Queen has been interacting with some officials in the court recently. I wonder what Yuan'er thinks about this?"

Ying Yuan's heart trembled slightly, as there was obviously a hint of meaning in the Queen Mother's words.

The queen colluded with forces in the court, and this was clearly a power game.

But Ying Yuan had already anticipated this situation.

"You worry too much, Queen Mother."

"Although the queen has had dealings with some officials, Yuan'er has been keeping a close eye on her and has not discovered anything inappropriate about her behavior."

A hint of suspicion flashed across the Queen Mother's eyes, but she immediately concealed it.

"I just hope that the situation in the palace can be stable. After all, this is related to the foundation of the Qin Dynasty."

Ying Yuan smiled slightly, but became more alert in his heart.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Yuan'er will ensure the stability of the palace."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, and then said: "In this case, I am relieved."

"However, Yuan'er, you must remember that the wind direction in the court is often more complicated than on the battlefield."

"You have to be more careful."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, his eyes firm.

"Yuan'er will keep the Queen Mother's teachings in mind."

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, but her expression was still somewhat deep.

She obviously didn't want to reveal everything, but in this power struggle, Ying Yuan had already sensed the Queen Mother's trump card.

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

He knew that this storm was not just caused by the Huns outside and the rebels in the court, but that the power struggle in the palace had already quietly begun.

"The Queen Mother is trying to find her footing in this storm."

"She has obviously noticed the Queen's moves in secret, and may even be looking for allies for herself."

Ying Yuan whispered to himself, his eyes revealing deep thought.

"But no matter how they try and negotiate, I will be the ultimate leader."

He hurried back to the study, where Chen Ping was already waiting, looking a little nervous.

"Sir, the latest news from the Royal Guards is that the Queen has begun contacting several important officials in the court, including Yan Su and Li Jue."

Ying Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table. (End of this chapter)
