But in his eyes, this coldness had nothing to do with the determination in his heart.

He knew that this storm was destined to change the entire situation in Daqin.

"The Queen Mother, the Empress, and those rebels hiding in the darkness, they thought they could shake the foundation of our Great Qin through the attack of the Xiongnu."

Ying Yuan's voice was low and contained a hint of coldness.

The chess piece in his hand fell gently, making a crisp sound.

"But they all overlooked one point: the situation was already under my control."

At this time, Chen Ping walked quickly into the study with a serious expression.

"Sir, I just received the latest news that the Xiongnu's rear supply line has been cut off by our army. Their offensive has been hindered and their morale has plummeted."

"The generals at the frontier request further instructions."

Ying Yuan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"The Huns have finally come to an end."

"Their supplies have been cut off, so naturally the attack cannot continue."

"Tell the frontier generals to launch a counterattack as originally planned."

"We will definitely win this battle."

Chen Ping nodded and said, "My Lord, you are wise. I will immediately order the generals on the border to act according to the plan."

Ying Yuan nodded slightly, then turned and walked to the window, looking into the distance.

"The Xiongnu are nothing more than pawns used by the enemy to disrupt the Qin Dynasty."

"The real enemy is still in the court."

"The Queen Mother, the Empress, and the rebels are taking more and more actions, indicating that a storm is about to break out."

"However, they don't know that I have already laid a trap for all of this."

Chen Ping's expression changed slightly, and then he said, "My lord, you are right. I have recently discovered that the Queen has been in contact with the rebels more frequently. Especially in the past few days, several important officials in the court seem to be plotting an action against you."

Ying Yuan smiled coldly, with endless murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"The queen thought she was hiding well enough, but her every move is under my control."

"Let her continue to plot self-righteously. When she is completely exposed, I will crush her conspiracy with my own hands."

Chen Ping nodded and said, "I will continue to monitor the Queen and the rebels closely to ensure that their every move is under our control."

Ying Yuan's eyes became increasingly cold, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a dull sound.

"But we can't let them get too complacent."

"Pass the order down and apply a little pressure to make them feel the crisis."

“It’s only when they feel they’re about to fail that they make their fatal mistakes.”

Chen Ping smiled slightly, and then said respectfully: "I understand, your strategy is linked together, which will cause the enemy to lose their composure and eventually be destroyed."

Ying Yuan nodded, and then said: "Not only the Queen and the rebels, but also the Queen Mother's movements cannot be ignored."

"Her influence in the court is complex and intertwined. Once she takes action, it will inevitably affect the entire situation."

Chen Ping was slightly stunned, then said: "Young Master, what you said is very true. The Queen Mother has frequently summoned several important officials in the court recently, and it seems that she is planning a countermeasure against the border war."

"But I suspect that her real purpose is to further consolidate her power in the court through border wars."

Ying Yuan smiled coldly, and then said: "The Queen Mother is just using the guise of war to control more power."

"She doesn't dare to act rashly yet, she is just testing the waters in secret."

"Let her keep trying. When she reaches the edge of the cliff, I will push her into the abyss with my own hands."

Chen Ping nodded, and then said: "I will closely monitor the Queen Mother's every move to ensure that she does not have any chance."

There was a cold light flashing in Ying Yuan's eyes, and the chess piece in his hand fell gently again.

"The Queen Mother, the Empress, the rebels... every step they take is under my control."

"I have set up a tight net and am waiting for them to fall into it." At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

A guard hurried into the study, looking nervous.

"Sir, there is urgent information!"

Ying Yuan turned around, his eyes sharp, and signaled the guard to continue speaking.

The guard quickly said, "Sir, there's news from the palace that the queen is plotting to mobilize the imperial guards in an attempt to launch a coup!"

"I suspect that the Queen wants to take advantage of the Xiongnu's attack on the border and the turmoil in the court to launch a surprise attack on you, my Lord."

Ying Yuan frowned slightly, then smiled coldly.

"The Queen can't wait any longer."

"She thinks she can shake my power with the help of the Imperial Guards?"

"She is too confident."

There was a cold light in his eyes, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a dull sound.

"Pass the order down and immediately strengthen the monitoring of the Imperial Guards."

"At the same time, secretly mobilize our forces and make all preparations for response."

"If the queen wants to take action, then I will expose her completely to the sun."

The guards obeyed the order respectfully and then quickly retreated.

Ying Yuan's gaze turned into the distance again, his eyes revealing endless coldness and confidence.

"Queen, Queen Mother, rebels, every step you take is under my control."

"No matter how you plan, I will be the final winner."

The wind howled in the palace, as if whispering of the coming storm.

Ying Yuan's gaze pierced through the darkness, as if he had seen the moment when the enemy was destroyed.

Chen Ping stood aside, deeply impressed by Ying Yuan's strategy.

The young master calculated every step he took with great precision, and he easily resolved both the attacks by the Huns and the conspiracies within the court.

All of this has long been under the young master's control.

"Young Master's strategy is indeed profound and unfathomable."

"No matter if it's the powerful ministers in the court or the enemies outside, they can't escape the net set by the young master."

Chen Ping sighed inwardly, and then said: "I will continue to follow your instructions and ensure that all enemy movements are under our control."

Ying Yuan nodded, his eyes still cold.

"Go ahead. Remember, be careful in everything you do 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 stood alone in front of the window, staring at the darkness in the distance.

The wind was still howling, as if playing a prelude to the coming storm.

And Ying Yuan had already prepared for all of this.

"Whether it is the Huns or the rebels, they will eventually be completely defeated in this storm."

"I will personally expose your conspiracy and make sure you have nothing to hide."

The moonlight from the sky fell over the city of Xianyang, illuminating Ying Yuan's cold and resolute face.

The tranquility in the dark night seems to be the last bit of calm before the storm comes.

And Ying Yuan had already laid out his murderous plan in the darkness.

The game is set, and the storm is about to break out. (End of this chapter)
