The emperor slumped to the ground, his eyes full of despair and unwillingness.

He looked at the people around him, opened his mouth, but found that he was powerless to refute.

The former majesty and power are gone at this moment.

The princess looked at the fallen emperor, and although she felt a little bit of pity in her heart, she was more determined about the future of Great Chu.

She knew that this was a difficult decision, but it had to be made for the sake of the people of Da Chu.

Fang Yue stood aside with a complicated expression.

He didn't expect things to develop to this point, but he also understood that this might be the best outcome.

The three old men glanced at everyone and said in a serious tone: "Now that the Great Chu is in danger, we must quickly select a wise king to lead the Great Chu out of the predicament. During this period, all parties must work together to fight against the demons."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, the three old men arranged for some royal relatives to begin discussing the selection of the new king.

The princess walked up to Fang Yue and said softly, "Fang Yue, although you refused to marry into the family, I believe in your sincerity. I hope we can work together for the future of Da Chu."

Fang Yue nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will do my best to fight against the demons."

In the following days, Da Chu fell into the tense process of selecting a new monarch.

Various forces got involved and the debate continued.

Amidst this heated debate, the situation in Da Chu became increasingly tense.

In order to promote the candidates they support, some forces do not hesitate to use various means in secret, form cliques, and fight openly and covertly.

The eldest princess was deeply worried about this. She was afraid that such internal strife would further weaken the strength of Da Chu and give the demon clan an opportunity to take advantage.

She found Fang Yue and discussed countermeasures together.

"Fang Yue, the election of a new ruler is now in such a chaotic situation. We must find a way to stabilize the situation, otherwise the Great Chu will be in danger."

The eldest princess frowned, her tone full of worry.

Fang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "What the princess said is very true. But I think that in the Great Chu Dynasty, there is no one more suitable than Her Royal Highness to lead the Great Chu out of its predicament.

Her Royal Highness the Princess is extremely intelligent, cares about the people, and has demonstrated extraordinary courage and decisiveness in this incident.

If Her Royal Highness can step forward and take on this important task, she will surely lead the Chu Kingdom to prosperity."

The princess was slightly startled when she heard this, then shook her head and said:
"Fang Yue, you flatter me. I am a woman, how can I be the ruler of a country? Besides, there has never been a precedent of a woman being the ruler in the history of the Chu Dynasty."

Fang Yue disagreed and said, "Your Highness, the Great Chu is in danger now, and we should not stick to the old rules.

As the saying goes, women are as good as men. Her Royal Highness the Princess's talents and moral character are in no way inferior to those of men.

As long as Her Royal Highness is determined and responsible, she will surely gain the support of everyone."

The eldest princess fell into deep thought. Although she had some concerns in her heart, she also understood that what Fang Yue said made sense.

In this chaotic situation, perhaps only she can stabilize the situation and bring new hope to Da Chu.

After a moment, the princess raised her head, her eyes revealing a firm look:
"Fang Yue, I am deeply moved by your words. But this matter is of great importance, and I need to consider it carefully.

During this period, we must continue to work hard to stabilize the situation and select a suitable new ruler for Da Chu."

Fang Yue nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. No matter what the final result is, I will fully support your decision and fight for the future of Da Chu."

Afterwards, Fang Yue and the eldest princess continued to work hard to stabilize the situation in Da Chu.

On the one hand, they strengthened communication and coordination with various forces, and on the other hand, they actively prepared to fight against the demon clan.

Thanks to their efforts, the situation in Da Chu gradually stabilized, and the selection of a new monarch was proceeding in an orderly manner.

However, behind the seemingly stable situation, undercurrents are surging.

Some royal family members who had long coveted the throne of Great Chu were filled with jealousy and anxiety when they saw the eldest princess's prestige gradually rising in the process of selecting the new monarch.

They conspired secretly to get rid of the eldest princess in order to clear the obstacles for themselves to ascend the throne.

In a dark secret room, several royal children sat together, whispering about the conspiracy.

"The eldest princess is now on the rise. If we let her continue like this, we may never have the chance to ascend the throne." One of them said with a gloomy face.

"That's right, we must find a way to get rid of her." Another person echoed.

"But the eldest princess is protected by Fang Yue, and she is now very popular among the people, so it will not be easy to take action against her." Someone expressed doubts.

"Humph, we can make secret plans, create chaos, and take advantage of the disorder. First, send people to spread rumors among the people, slander the princess, and weaken her prestige. Then we can find an opportunity to assassinate her." The leader said viciously.

Thus, a conspiracy against the eldest princess quietly unfolded.

The rumor spread quickly among the people, and people began to doubt the eldest princess.

When the princess learned about this, she knew in her heart that someone had done it on purpose, but she was not affected by the rumors and continued to work hard for the future of Da Chu.

Fang Yue sensed a dangerous atmosphere. He strengthened the protection of the eldest princess and began to investigate the source of the rumors.

After some efforts, he gradually discovered the conspiracy of those royal children.

"Your Highness, someone is plotting against you in secret. We must deal with it carefully." Fang Yue said to the eldest princess with a serious expression.

The princess nodded slightly: "I expected this. They will do anything to get the throne. But we can't let them disrupt our position. Continuing to stabilize the situation and preparing to fight against the demon tribe is the top priority."

Fang Yue looked at the eldest princess with admiration, and his determination to protect her became even stronger.

He began to make secret arrangements to thwart the conspiracy of those royal children.

Fang Yue carefully arranged the defense line. He added more secret sentries around the eldest princess' residence and worked closely with the loyal guards to ensure that every corner was under surveillance.

At the same time, he also sent out his most capable spies to continue investigating the next actions of the royal children.

As the days passed, the royal children became more and more anxious as they saw that the rumors did not work and the assassination was difficult to succeed.

They decided to take a risk and join forces with some officials in the court who had been bribed by them to try to attack the eldest princess in the court.

At a court meeting, several officials with ill intentions suddenly stood up and accused the princess of being partial to the new monarch and trying to manipulate the results. They spoke harshly and tried to incite other officials to be dissatisfied with the princess.

The princess remained calm as she watched the performance. She slowly said:

"My Lords, the election of the new ruler was jointly discussed by many royal relatives, and the process was fair and transparent. I am only concerned about the future of Da Chu, so how can I be accused of favoritism?"

However, those officials refused to give up and continued to make unreasonable demands.

At this moment, Fang Yue glared at her and said sternly: "You have ulterior motives and are slandering the princess maliciously. Who is behind this?

The election of the new ruler was witnessed by all. It was fair and just. How can you slander it at will? If you don't restrain yourself, don't blame me for punishing you by military law."

Fang Yue's aura shocked the entire audience. Those officials were trembling in their hearts, looking at each other, and dared not say anything.

The princess nodded slightly and continued, "My Lords, the Great Chu is in danger now. We should work together for the future of the Great Chu instead of creating trouble here and destroying unity."

Hahaha!
At this moment, an old minister stood up.

He stroked his beard and said seriously, "The princess is right. But we, Great Chu, need a new emperor."

As soon as the old minister said this, everyone in the court fell into deep thought.

The princess was slightly startled, then said: "What the old man said makes sense, Da Chu really needs a new emperor to lead everyone out of the predicament.

However, the election of a new king is underway, and we should be fair and select a truly wise king."

At the same time, the three princes of the Chu royal family suddenly appeared in the court. They were aggressive, and their faces were full of majesty with a hint of coercion.

The leading prince stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "The selection of a new monarch has been delayed for so long. The situation in Da Chu is critical and cannot be delayed any longer. We believe that we should quickly determine the candidate for the new monarch to stabilize the government."

Another prince continued, "Although the princess is well-known for her virtue, she is a woman after all and cannot handle such a big responsibility. We propose that we select a person of high moral character and outstanding ability from among the royal family and have him ascend the throne immediately."

The third prince narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at everyone: "If you continue to hesitate, the Great Chu may fall into a greater crisis. We are here today to urge you to make a decision as soon as possible."

The eldest princess looked at the three princes and felt a surge of anger in her heart, but she knew very well that she could not act on impulse at this time.

She said calmly: "My three princes, there are procedures and rules for selecting a new monarch, and we must not rush into it. We must also select a truly wise monarch who can lead Da Chu out of its predicament."

Fang Yue also stood up and faced the three princes without fear: "Three princes, the election of a new monarch is for the future of Great Chu, and cannot be swayed by personal desires. Now all parties are working hard, and they will definitely choose a suitable new monarch."

The three princes looked gloomy, and the leading prince snorted coldly: "Humph, Fang Yue, you are an outsider, what qualifications do you have to point fingers here? The future of Da Chu should be decided by the Da Chu royal family."

At this time, the atmosphere in the court became even more tense, and everyone was watching how the situation would develop.

At this time, the atmosphere in the court became even more tense, and everyone was watching how the situation would develop.

The three princes became even more angry when they saw that Fang Yue did not back down at all.

The leading prince spoke again: "We have decided to support the fifth prince as the new emperor. The fifth prince is intelligent and benevolent, and he is a legitimate member of the royal family. He will surely lead the Great Chu to prosperity."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court. Some ministers began to whisper and discuss.

The princess frowned slightly and said, "My three princes, the election of the new emperor has not yet been finalized, so you cannot make a decision on your own. And whether the fifth prince is suitable to be the emperor still needs to be considered by all parties."

Another prince sneered and said, "Princess, the situation is critical now and we can't delay any longer. The Fifth Prince is the best candidate and there is no need to discuss it further.

Besides, Princess, you are so reluctant, do you have any intentions for the throne?"

The princess' eyes shone when she heard this, and she said sternly: "This princess is only concerned about the people of Da Chu, and has never coveted the throne.

The three princes should not judge others by their own standards. The election of a new ruler should be based on the principle of fairness and justice, and should not be hastily decided based on the one-sided opinions of the three princes. "

The princess' words were so powerful that the three princes were speechless. But they were unwilling to give up. The leading prince glared at the princess and said, "Princess, since you are so insistent, let's see who will have the last laugh in the process of selecting the new monarch."

Fang Yue stepped forward, stood in front of the princess, looked at the three princes fearlessly, and said: "Three princes, if you really care about Da Chu, you should respect the fair selection process instead of forcibly supporting the candidate you like."

The three princes snorted coldly and left. The atmosphere in the court was still tense, and the ministers were all thinking about how the situation would develop next.

The three princes snorted coldly and left. The atmosphere in the court was still tense, and the ministers were all thinking about how the situation would develop next.

After the three princes left the court, they immediately contacted the forces of the Wei Dynasty in secret.

They tempted Fang Yue with benefits and asked the Wei Dynasty to order Fang Yue to be transferred back.

When the Wei Dynasty learned of this, they felt that there was an opportunity and so they took advantage of it and issued a transfer order.

The news soon reached the court of Da Chu, and everyone was shocked.

When the eldest princess learned about this, she became even more worried.

She frowned and paced back and forth in the palace, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

She knew very well that the actions of the three princes would undoubtedly push Da Chu into a more dangerous situation, and the intervention of the Wei Dynasty might make the situation in Da Chu more complicated and difficult to control.

What’s more crucial is what happens if Fang Yue leaves.

The political affairs of the Great Chu are truly decided by the three princes.

Fang Yue received the transfer order. Although he was extremely reluctant, he had to leave Da Chu.

Before leaving, he solemnly said to the princess: "Your Highness, although Fang Yue has to go, please be careful. I believe that you will be able to turn danger into safety and lead Da Chu to prosperity."

The eldest princess nodded slightly, her eyes full of determination and reluctance.

After Fang Yue left, the three princes of Da Chu began to make intensive preparations to assassinate the eldest princess.

Once again they were discussing their plot in the dark secret room.

"Now that Fang Yue is gone, it's a good time for us to take action." One of the princes said gloomily.

"That's right, we must succeed this time. We can't let the princess hinder our plans again." Another prince echoed.

They began to secretly gather killers and carefully plan the assassination.

As for the eldest princess, although she lost Fang Yue's protection, she was not afraid at all.

She knew very well that she was shouldering the future of Da Chu and could not retreat.

"Sure enough, these people can't wait any longer, so let's see who will win the final victory!" (End of this chapter)
