I think that Delilah worked with the Serkonos government to seize the throne. Personally, I think she seized control the old-fashioned way: through incitement and division. Corvo told Emily "don't listen to the rabble-rousers", indicating that some people in the Empire are unhappy with Emily's rule. Maybe Delilah spread rumours and dissent so that a sizable portion of the government would be accepting of "Empress Delilah Kaldwin". I personally doubt she used mass mind control; it was City Watch vs Serkonan Escorts, not City Watch and Serkonan Escorts vs Emily and Corvo. We didn't see much of the City Watch because the Clockwork guards mopped them up easily.
