They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

"It will take some time to find out who is behind this. Your Majesty, the news of your accident cannot be concealed. I think we should take advantage of their tricks."

Jiang Wanyue quickly came up with an idea.

Since the assassins left no one alive, it was impossible for the enemy to know the true circumstances of Li Ce's injury.

Instead of going to great lengths to mobilize people to investigate, it would be better to find a way to lure the other party into taking action again.

Before, the enemy was in the dark while I was in the light. I didn't expect this to happen, so the enemy succeeded. Now that I'm prepared, as soon as the enemy makes a move, there will be no way to hide any clues.

There was a gleam in Jiang Wanyue's eyes, and then she whispered something to Li Ce's ear.

"What do you think, Your Majesty? Although it is a little dangerous, the chances of success are quite high."

Li Ce smiled with a relaxed look.

"As expected of you, you are the granddaughter of Master Jiang. Wan'er, few ministers in the court can match your cunning and strategy."

He smiled firmly and held Jiang Wanyue's hand.

"Just do as you say."

Jiang Wanyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them talked in low voices in the inner room for a long time, until Li Ce looked tired, and then Jiang Wanyue got up and left.

She walked to the outer room and looked at Liang Gaosheng who was waiting at the palace door, her eyes flashing slightly.

"Eunuch Liang."

When Liang Gaosheng heard the Queen's voice, he hurried forward.

"Empress, does the Emperor have anything to say now that he has woken up?"

Jiang Wanyue's expression was a little solemn, but soon turned gentle.

"The emperor needs to rest. Please ask all the eunuchs in the palace to leave! It is enough for the emperor to have me by his side."

Liang Gaosheng's pupils shrank and he subconsciously looked inside.

But the gauze curtains were layered and the door of the inner room was closed, so he could not see anything.

What does the Queen mean by this?

Is the emperor seriously injured? She doesn't want the news to leak?

When I saw the emperor just now, his face was a little pale and he fainted, but after the imperial physician’s treatment, didn’t he wake up?

Or is it that the emperor is suspicious of the people in Liangyi Palace and that’s why he doesn’t allow them to get close?

He dared not disobey the Queen's order.

Liang Gaosheng, full of questions, led the eunuchs in the hall to retreat outside.

Jiang Wanyue waved and called Xing'er over.

"Let everyone from Fenglai Palace move here. Oh, and let Zijing and Qingdai come over to help the emperor with his medication and other matters."

Zijing and Qingdai were taught by Xiuchun and Aunt Sun, and were sent to the palace a few years ago to help Jiang Wanyue.

Zijing was a female doctor in her palace. Although her medical skills were not as good as those of the imperial physician, she was pretty good and knew some emergency treatment methods. As for Qingdai, Jiang Wanyue originally gave her to Li Chengxu as a housekeeper, responsible for Li Chengxu's diet. However, Li Ce was more important at the moment, so one female doctor might not be enough.

Xing'er went out in a hurry.

Then, Jiang Wanyue called other people over, and after some instructions, the palace became tense.

After controlling the harem, Jiang Wanyue took Chang Xin and Mi'er to the Tai Chi Hall in front.

The main hall of Taiji Hall is the place for grand court meetings. The side halls on both sides provide places for ministers to take a temporary rest, and also serve as the imperial study where Li Ce holds small court meetings.

Jiang Wanyue arrived at the imperial study, glanced around, then turned around and gave instructions to the eunuchs outside the palace.

"Go and tell Deputy Commander Huang."

Commander Fan was also injured this time and should be recuperating at home now. The Imperial Guards are still under the command of Deputy Commander Huang.

Jiang Wanyue did not rush to summon others, but summoned him first, of course, for the safety of the palace.

Deputy Commander Huang arrived very quickly.

He left very quickly too.

After leaving the palace, Deputy Commander Huang immediately mobilized all the imperial guards to come and guard every corner of the palace.

As for the patrols within the city, they were replaced by other guards from the prince's palace and the princess's palace.

Although these guards are not as good as the imperial guards, there shouldn't be any problems if they are only responsible for patrolling and inspection.

After Deputy Commander Huang left, Jiang Wanyue called the commander of his own guards and asked him to take his men to surround the Liangyi Palace.

This triple protection ensures that no assassination attempt will occur.

Jiang Wanyue's actions were very low-key, but the mobilization of the imperial guards could not be concealed from the ministers.

In particular, Li Ce did not attend court the next day.

The one who came was Jiang Wanyue.

When the ministers saw her, they were all shocked.

Jiang Wanyue, wearing her queen's Zhai robe, walked to the front.

"The Emperor has been injured and needs to rest. The court meetings for the next few days will be cancelled. The adults can go back first!"

The ministers were whispering to each other, none of them quite understanding what the queen meant.

They knew that the emperor was injured.

But even if he's injured and needs to recover, he shouldn't be isolated from people, right?

I heard that the Queen replaced all the guards in Liangyi Hall with the Royal Guards, who strictly guarded it and required everyone to report entering and leaving. Even the eunuchs around the Emperor were not allowed to serve him closely... Could it be that the Emperor was seriously injured?

Or is it that the Queen intends to seize power and control the Emperor?

As thoughts flashed through their minds, the ministers' expressions suddenly changed.

Seeing that they didn't move, Jiang Wanyue raised her eyebrows.

"What? My words are no longer effective?"

The old ministers standing in the front said they didn't dare.

The Minister of the Central Secretariat looked around, cleared his throat and spoke first.

"Empress, since the Emperor is injured, the daily memorials..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Wanyue interrupted him.

"Send them all to Liangyi Palace. If the emperor wakes up, he will naturally take a look."

The Minister of the Central Secretariat cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

Seeing him retreat, the attendant's eyes moved slightly. He glanced around and saw that many people were suspicious, so he stepped forward.

"I would like to ask the Queen, is the transfer of the imperial guards an order from the Emperor himself? I heard that Deputy Commander Huang did not see the Emperor yesterday. Where did this transfer order come from?"

Jiang Wanyue's lips curled slightly.

"This transfer order was naturally dictated by the emperor, and I am executing it on his behalf. Why, Minister Jiang, don't you believe it?"

Minister Jiang touched his beardless chin out of habit.

"It's not that I don't believe it, but this transfer order should be taken for your inspection, right?"

His obvious test made the other veteran ministers raise their heads.

Some looked at him, while others looked at Jiang Wanyue.

Jiang Wanyue gently lifted her right sleeve with her left hand, lowered her eyes slightly, and did not respond.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

More and more officials were looking at them with questioning eyes.

At this moment, Jiang Wanyue raised his head and scanned the entire audience with a stern gaze. Then, he took out a black and gold object from his sleeve.

The Minister of the Central Secretariat, who was closest to the place, cried out in surprise when he saw this.

"Fish Talisman?"

Several other ministers also looked surprised.

The fish talisman is also called the tiger talisman. The emperor even gave this to the queen?

Li Ce had been in the army for many years. After he ascended the throne, he brought some military customs with him, such as this fish symbol.

Holding this fish token, not only can one mobilize the imperial guards, but also the border troops.

Jiang Wanyue slightly opened her red lips.

"The Emperor has ordered me to temporarily take charge of the Imperial Guards. Do you have any objections?"

Several ministers looked at each other and bowed at the same time.

"I dare not. I will obey the Queen's orders."

Jiang Wanyue put away the fish talisman and glanced at Minister Jiang with a smile.

"No need to give orders. When the emperor was away, you all did a good job. From now on, you will do the same as before. There is no need to change. If there is an emergency, come to Liangyi Palace to report. I will convey it to the emperor as soon as possible."

"Okay, I still have to help His Majesty with his medicine, so I'll go first."

After saying that, she shook her sleeves and turned away with her people.

As soon as she left, the hall suddenly became buzzing with endless discussions.
