The two people who were still arguing immediately closed their mouths and looked in Chi Yao's direction after seeing Chi Yao's impatience.
The position of the heir to the king next to him was vacant. Everyone knew it, but did not dare to say anything more.
Who can escape the struggle between the two factions for power?
Although Chi Yao was recuperating to the outside world during this period, in fact everything that happened during this period was inseparable from her means.
The succession ceremony for the king's heir was supposed to be about to begin, but he suddenly died a few days before it was to begin. The cause of his death is still under investigation, but everyone knows that it is just a case of pushing one person to take the blame. That’s all.
But if Chi Yao doesn't take action in advance, she will suffer a lot after the current king takes office.
Everyone was waiting for both sides to take action. A low pressure enveloped the entire high-level staff. With the sudden death of the monarch's heir, everyone saw the situation clearly and understood who was the current person in power.
Chi Yao tapped the table with her pen and looked up casually at the silent crowd. She couldn't help but sneered and raised her eyes lightly, "Why don't you say anything?"
She raised her chin slightly, with a hint of disdain in her eyes, and said calmly: "Continue."
"Marshal, we just discussed... the king's accession to the throne."
A senior executive felt a strong mental pressure and looked over. He felt that there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, which made him want to wipe it off.
"I wonder if the Marshal has anyone he likes?"
He immediately spoke flatteringly, looked in the direction of the marshal and swallowed nervously.
"Shouldn't this be your decision?"
Chi Yao raised her eyebrows and looked at the person who spoke, and said in a calm tone, "Since you all said so, I will reluctantly recommend one."
The people around him suddenly felt relieved and looked at Chi Yao nervously.
"Don't be nervous."
Chi Yao chuckled and clapped her hands to signal people to come out.
Everyone watching this scene suddenly realized that everything had been arranged and they were just waiting for everyone to say it.
They looked towards the door of the conference hall, and a slender figure came out to attract everyone's attention.
"It's her!"
The people around him couldn't help but shout in surprise.
Chi Yao stood up and looked at the woman next to her casually, "Let me introduce you, this is the new heir to the monarch."
The woman smiled slightly, and her gentle yet steady voice sounded in the hall.
"Everyone, long time no see."
The curve of the corner of the woman's mouth was just right, but it made people feel cold in their hearts.
The new heir to the throne is the sister of the previous deceased monarch. However, when they were competing for the position of monarch, she was conspired by the previous monarch to marry her off.
It was clear that her abilities were more suitable for her to be the new king, but she was strongly rejected by a group of corrupt old men who said that a married woman had no right to inherit. With no other choice, she had to give up her right to inherit.
When everyone saw the woman appearing here, it was impossible not to feel uneasy in their hearts. The woman who was eliminated at the beginning now appeared in front of everyone again with a new appearance.
But this time, they did not dare to refute. They could only watch helplessly as the woman sat in the position of the king's heir, sitting alongside Chi Yao but above them.
Those who had participated in the change of kings back then could not help wiping the sweat from their foreheads. They could not help but break into a cold sweat while watching the conversation between the two men in charge.
