"I understand!" Donghuang Taiyi said hurriedly, his heart filled with fear and humiliation.

Ying Yuan waved his hand, signaling the guards to take Donghuang Taiyi away.

"Moon Goddess, you stay." Ying Yuan said.

The Moon Goddess was slightly stunned, then responded respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After the guards took Donghuang Taiyi away, Ying Yuan stood up, walked in front of the Moon Goddess, and looked down at her.

The Moon Goddess raised her head and met Ying Yuan's gaze. Her heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, not knowing what Ying Yuan was going to say to her.

Ying Yuan reached out his hand and gently stroked Yue Shen's cheek, saying in a gentle tone: "Yue Shen, you are very smart and beautiful. I admire you very much."

Yue Shen's face turned slightly red, and her heartbeat accelerated. She didn't expect Ying Yuan to say such words to her.

"Your Majesty..." The Moon Goddess said softly, with a hint of shyness and uneasiness in her tone.

"I know that you still have feelings for the Yin-Yang Family. But the Yin-Yang Family is finished, and you should consider yourself." Ying Yuan said with a hint of temptation in his tone.

The Moon Goddess remained silent, her heart full of contradictions and struggles. She did still have feelings for the Yin-Yang family, but she also knew that the Yin-Yang family had no future.

"Follow me, and I can give you everything you want." Ying Yuan continued, his tone becoming more gentle and seductive.

The Moon Goddess raised her head and looked at Ying Yuan, her eyes full of confusion and desire. She didn't know how to choose.

Ying Yuan looked at the Moon Goddess with a smug smile on his face. He knew that the Moon Goddess had wavered.

"I'll give you some time to think about it." Ying Yuan said, then turned and left.

The Moon Goddess stood there, looking at Ying Yuan's back, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She knew that her life was about to undergo earth-shaking changes.

In the dead of night, Yue Shen lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Ying Yuan's figure and words kept appearing in her mind, and her heart was full of contradictions and struggles.

Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence of the night.

"Who?" asked the Moon Goddess.

"It's you." A gentle voice came from outside the door.

The Moon Goddess quickly stood up and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Ying Yuan's concubine, Concubine Li.

"Empress Li, why are you here so late?" Moon Goddess asked in surprise.

Concubine Li smiled slightly and said, "I can't sleep, so I want to chat with Sister Yueshen."

The Moon Goddess welcomed Concubine Li into the room, and the two sat at the table and began to chat.

Concubine Li seemed to be chatting casually about some trivial matters in the palace, but Yue Shen was keenly aware that Concubine Li seemed to have something else to say.

"Sister Yueshen, you seem to be very favored by His Majesty recently." Concubine Li said suddenly, with a hint of sourness in her tone.

The Moon Goddess was slightly stunned, then said modestly: "You are joking, Concubine Li. I am just trying my best to do my duty."

Concubine Li smiled and said nothing more, but she could not hide the jealousy and resentment in her eyes.

The Moon Goddess' heart trembled, realizing that she seemed to be involved in a palace fight. And she still knew nothing...

The Moon Goddess' heart was beating fast. Concubine Li's words made her feel uneasy. She tried to stay calm and said, "You are too kind, Concubine Li. Your Majesty is so busy that he has no time to pay attention to me."

Concubine Li smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, but there was a hint of mockery in her eyes: "Sister Yueshen is really modest. However, you should also be careful, the women in the palace are not easy to deal with."

Concubine Li's words made Yue Shen even more uneasy. She realized that she had to make a choice as soon as possible.

The next day, Yueshen took the initiative to find Ying Yuan.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to follow you." The Moon Goddess said with a firm tone.

Ying Yuan looked at the Moon Goddess with a satisfied smile on his face. He knew that he had obtained another important chess piece.

"Very good." Ying Yuan said, "From today on, you are my woman."

The Moon Goddess knelt obediently before Ying Yuan and accepted his favor.

From then on, Yue Shen became Ying Yuan's concubine and began her new life. At the same time, the Qin cavalry was on the journey, heading towards other countries.

Ying Yuan stood on the high city wall, looking into the distance. His eyes were full of ambition. He wanted to conquer the whole world and become the real overlord.

"Your Majesty, Donghuang Taiyi requests to see you." A guard came to report.

"Let him in." Ying Yuan said.

Donghuang Taiyi walked into the hall and knelt in front of Ying Yuan.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." Donghuang Taiyi said.

"Speak." Ying Yuan said coldly.

"I have received news that the State of Chu is secretly gathering troops and preparing to launch an attack on the Qin State," said Donghuang Taiyi.

Ying Yuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he sneered: "Chu? You don't know your own strength!"

"Your Majesty, although the Chu State is not as strong as the Qin State, they have powerful formations and spells. If we underestimate the enemy, we will likely suffer losses," Donghuang Taiyi reminded.

"I know." Ying Yuan said, "I already have a plan."

"Your Majesty, what good ideas do you have?" Donghuang Taiyi asked.

Ying Yuan showed a mysterious smile and said, "I want them to kill each other."

Donghuang Taiyi was shocked and didn't understand what Ying Yuan meant.

"I will send people to infiltrate the State of Chu, spread rumors, and sow discord between the ruler and his ministers, making them suspicious of each other and attack each other," Ying Yuan said.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Donghuang Taiyi said hurriedly.

"You go and arrange it." Ying Yuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Donghuang Taiyi took the order and left.

Ying Yuan looked at Donghuang Taiyi's back, with a sly light in his eyes. He knew that although Donghuang Taiyi was submissive to him on the surface, he was still loyal to the Yin-Yang family in his heart.

However, Ying Yuan didn't care, because he was confident enough to control Donghuang Taiyi.

A few days later, all kinds of rumors began to spread in the territory of Chu, saying that the King of Chu was incompetent and persecuted loyal people, causing public resentment.

These rumors soon reached the ears of the King of Chu.

The King of Chu was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

However, before he could find out the results, the ministers of Chu began to suspect and attack each other.

Some ministers believed that other ministers were spreading rumors in an attempt to frame them.

Other ministers believed that the King of Chu was deliberately creating chaos in order to take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

The Chu court was suddenly in chaos.

After Ying Yuan got the news, he laughed out loud.

"The State of Chu is finished!" Ying Yuan said.

"Your Majesty is wise!" said the ministers one after another.

"Pass the order down, the army prepares to attack the State of Chu!" Ying Yuan ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers took the order and left.

The Qin cavalry marched towards the State of Chu in a mighty force.

The State of Chu is in imminent danger.

In the capital of Chu State, the King of Chu was busy dealing with various affairs.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Qin army has breached the border and is heading towards the capital!" A guard ran in in a panic to report. (End of this chapter)
