"The mantis' arm is like a chariot."

“She thought she was in control of the situation, but in reality, I was in control of everything.”

"Let her continue. I want to see how she will fall into the trap."

Chen Ping nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will closely monitor her every move and make sure the queen can't cause any trouble."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, and then said: "Not only the queen, but also the movements of the rebels must be kept a close eye on at all times."

"Although their power is deeply hidden, it will never stay hidden for too long."

Chen Ping's expression froze for a moment, and then he said, "My lord, you are absolutely right."

"I have already arranged personnel to closely monitor every possible clue of the rebellion."

Ying Yuan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a steady sound.

His thoughts were like chess pieces in a chess game, falling one by one, and every move was murderous.

"The rebels, the queen, the queen mother... every move they make is already in the net I have laid."

"But now is not the time to close the net."

"I'm going to wait until they reveal bigger flaws and are completely exposed to the sun."

Chen Ping accepted the order respectfully and then said, "My lord, you are wise."

"I will follow your instructions and continue to closely monitor the development of the situation."

Ying Yuan nodded, his eyes still cold.

"In the coming period, the situation will become increasingly complicated."

"Whether in the court or on the border, we must remain vigilant at all times."

"Any negligence may become a breakthrough point for the enemy."

Chen Ping nodded, and felt more and more that Ying Yuan's strategy was far-reaching.

In the center of the storm, Gongzi Yuan remained as steady as a rock, while his opponents were led into the trap he set one by one.

"I will do my best to ensure that every one of your plans is foolproof."

Ying Yuan smiled slightly, his eyes revealing immense confidence and coldness.

"very good."

"Go ahead, continue to act according to the plan, and don't let them notice anything."

Chen Ping respectfully accepted the order again and then quickly retreated.

The study returned to silence again. Ying Yuan sat alone under the lamp with deep eyes, as if he was thinking about the direction of the entire chess game.

"The Huns' attack, the Queen's conspiracy, the rebels' actions, everything is approaching the final outbreak."

"And I have already laid out a net, waiting for them to fall into it."

Just then, there was a slight knock on the door.

A eunuch hurried into the study, looking nervous.

"Sir, there is some movement from the Queen Mother. She has just summoned several important officials in the court."

"They seem to be plotting how to deal with the war on the border."

Ying Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"The Queen Mother finally took action."

"She is no longer just testing the waters secretly, but is starting to directly participate in the changes in the situation."

The eunuch said respectfully, "Sir, do we need to take action in advance?"

Ying Yuan smiled coldly, then said, "No need."

"The Queen Mother has not yet been fully exposed. She is still testing every step."

"We just need to wait and see until she reveals more flaws."

The eunuch accepted the order respectfully and then withdrew.

Ying Yuan's eyes were still stern, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound.

"Queen Mother, Queen, and rebels, you have reached the edge of a cliff."

"I'll give you some more time to push yourself into the abyss."

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. A messenger walked into the study quickly, looking anxious.

"Sir, there is another urgent military report from the border!"

Ying Yuan's eyes turned cold in an instant, and then he took the military newspaper and quickly read it.

"The Huns' offensive has become more fierce. They have launched a full-scale attack on our main position."

"The border defense commander requested that reinforcements be sent as soon as possible, otherwise the situation could get out of control."

His brows furrowed slightly, and he tapped lightly on the military newspaper with his fingers, making a dull sound.

"The Huns' attack speed has increased. They are obviously eager to break through our defense line."

"But the more they rush to attack, the more they expose their weaknesses."

He smiled gently, his eyes revealing great coldness and confidence.

"Inform the border commanders to continue to hold their positions and proceed according to the original plan."

"Our reinforcements have already been deployed in the rear. We just need to wait for the Xiongnu's reinforcements to run out of food. They will inevitably be in trouble."

The messenger accepted the order respectfully and then quickly retreated.

Ying Yuan stood in the study, staring into the darkness in the distance.

"The Xiongnu's attack is just a smokescreen. Their goal is to disrupt the internal situation of the Qin Empire."

"And those rebels took advantage of the power of the Xiongnu to try to stir up trouble in the court."

He shook his head slightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Unfortunately, you are destined to fail."

"Whether it's the Huns or the rebels, they will eventually be completely defeated in the net I have laid."

The wind howled, as if playing a prelude to the coming storm.

And Ying Yuan had already prepared for all of this.

The chess game has been set, and the swords are about to clash.

And he will become the only master in this storm.

The night was deep and the sky over Xianyang City was shrouded in endless darkness.

And in the heart of this empire, a storm is quietly brewing that is about to erupt.

Ying Yuan stood alone in front of the window, overlooking everything in the palace.

His eyes were as cold as a knife, and his thoughts were like an undercurrent.

This night is destined to be uneventful.

"The Queen Mother, the Empress, and those rebels hiding in the dark have begun to speed up their actions."

"But they don't know yet that they have already fallen into my trap."

Ying Yuan smiled gently, his eyes revealing immense confidence and coldness.

"The storm is coming, and I am ready for everything."

Just then, there was a slight knock on the door.

Chen Ping walked quickly into the study with a serious expression.

"Sir, I have important information."

Ying Yuan turned around, his eyes cold, and waved his hand to signal Chen Ping to continue.

Chen Ping said in a deep voice: "The queen has been in frequent contact with several important officials in the court recently, especially with the forces that once supported the rebels."

"According to the spy's report, the queen is secretly planning a conspiracy against the prince."

"She tried to use the power of the Xiongnu to unite with the rebels in the court and shake the prince's power in one fell swoop."

Ying Yuan frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"The Queen can no longer hold back and has begun to act."

"She thought she could use the power of the Huns to shake me, but she didn't know that all this was just a trap set by me."

Chen Ping bowed slightly and continued, "I have stepped up my surveillance of the Queen. As long as she makes any unusual moves, we will be able to track her actions in one fell swoop." (End of this chapter)
