Yin Zhe was so busy at the moment that he barely had time to rest.
The Xuanji Guard wields immense power and now bears the heavy responsibility of stabilizing the court and the country.
She issued a series of commands, and almost all the elite Xuanji Guards, who were originally in charge of interrogation in the Imperial Prison, came out.
According to Xiao Liu, it's no longer important to find out any minor details now.
Obtaining the war report from the North as quickly as possible and swiftly annihilating the remnants of the powerful families as planned, while simultaneously securing peace and stability, is the most pressing priority at present!
In addition to guarding the core area of the palace, Yin Zhe also transferred some of the Qilin Guard and Qingluan Guard personnel, spreading them out like a net.
All the residences of officials of the fifth rank and above in the imperial court were secretly guarded by spies who were closely monitoring any unusual activity.
Tomorrow an imperial edict will be issued, announcing that the Third Princess will oversee the country, which will inevitably cause turmoil in the court.
Controlling these central officials is tantamount to choking the throat of the court, which can stabilize the situation to the greatest extent.
This reminded her of that winter fourteen years ago, when her elder sister had used similar methods when she first ascended the throne.
Nowadays, Yin Zhe is simply repeating the old example.
She would not hesitate to use her blade against anyone who dared to make any unusual moves during this period.
After finally managing to make preliminary arrangements for the various urgent matters, Yin Zhe dragged his heavy and tired steps back to the Imperial Study.
The progress of each matter always needs to be reported to those few inside.
However, as soon as she stepped outside, she froze, almost wondering if she had been so busy that she was hallucinating.
What did she hear? Someone was reading a storybook in the Imperial Study?
And the content...
Isn't this the book she happened to hear about when she went to look for Xiao Liu last time, "The Domineering Prince Falls in Love with Me Whose Family Has Fallen into Decline"?
In the solemn and dignified Imperial Study, at a time when His Majesty is seriously injured and unconscious, and the court and the country are in turmoil, you hear this?
This is probably the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China that such a thing has happened...
Yin Zhe composed himself and pushed open the door to enter.
Sure enough, there was Suimo holding a storybook, standing in the center reading it with great interest.
The third princess, the fourth princess, the fifth prince, and even the three younger ones all sat around, listening intently.
"Lord Yin Zhe."
When Suimo saw her enter, he stopped talking abruptly, quickly bowed, and a barely perceptible hint of unease flashed across his face.
Their Mo Group was transferred to the Imperial Study in the afternoon to strengthen its defenses.
Sui Mo is now at the fourth rank, while all twelve members of the Mo Group have somehow advanced to the fifth rank, making the mid-level guard force in the core area exceptionally abundant.
The power gathered in this courtyard right now is terrifying.
Leaving aside Elder Xue and Ling Muxue, both at the second-grade level, the three masters of the three realms—Jiang Wuyai, Chu Xinglan, and Xiao Liu—joined forces and instantly eliminated a terrifying being who had just touched the threshold of the first grade.
The reading of the storybook stopped, and everyone's eyes turned to Yin Zhe.
The third princess coughed lightly and quickly stood up to explain:
"It's because I was worried that Sixth Sister would be too tired from healing and would easily get sleepy, so I had her read some stories to keep her awake."
Qin Zhaoyue, sitting on the soft couch, rolled her eyes without any politeness, as if they hadn't been listening with great enthusiasm.
Yin Zhe isn't blind; he clearly saw several people listening intently when he came in.
She glared at Xiao Liu, who was sprawled on the soft couch, with annoyance.
That's right, when she left, Xiao Liu was still sitting obediently on the embroidery stool.
Now, to her dismay, a comfortable, soft couch has been placed right next to His Majesty's dragon bed, and she's sprawled on it like she has no bones, a grape still in her hand...
She really can find the most comfortable position anytime, anywhere, which is perfectly in line with her usual style.
"The child is still here. Is it appropriate to read these love stories?" Yin Zhe pressed his throbbing temples.
Qin Zhaoyue shrugged, completely unconcerned: "So what? We didn't show them anything with pictures."
In short, the outside world is in turmoil, the palace has just experienced a shocking assassination attempt, His Majesty is unconscious, and the court is in turmoil...
Yet, the atmosphere in the imperial study was surprisingly relaxed.
It's not hard to guess that all this strange "harmony" is probably thanks to Xiao Liu, who seems to be the most unreliable one.
It seems that no matter how difficult something is, it always becomes simple when it comes to her.
Or rather, she always manages to make those around her feel that it's not a big deal.
Besides her unconventional personality and hidden abilities, the seemingly inexplicable "coincidences" and "good fortune" during her previous disaster relief efforts now appear to have the most reasonable explanation—
The celestial plate recognizes its master, bestowing upon them great fortune; they are not ordinary people who can be saved.
Yin Zhe suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and began to report the important matter.
"The arrangements made by the four great families have already been initiated, and the first batch of information is expected to be sent back in the early hours of the morning."
The communication channel for reports from the Northern Frontier has also been established, and we should be able to receive messages later…
She briefly described the remaining arrangements as well.
The Xuange Division's government office was attacked, and many officials fell into a coma, but only one person died: Cao Cheng'an, the former General of the Northern Border.
The person who took action was Li E, a former subordinate of Zhaoyi Army, who was a colleague of Qu Heng, who stormed into the palace, and both belonged to the command of Zhaoyi General Zhao Polu.
After killing Cao Cheng'an, this man went to the residence of Eunuch Su Quan, took Zhao Hengjiang and his son away, and left the city.
This is a line, but the fact that it could suppress the entire Xuange Division and remain undetected for so long means that there must be a Divine Martial Realm expert in charge, since Cao Cheng'an was originally a third-rank expert.
Therefore, beneath the surface, there must be another force at play.
