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

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

The majesty and power of the past were gone at this moment.

The eldest princess looked at the fallen emperor, and although she felt a little unbearable in her heart, she was more determined for the future of Da Chu.

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

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 the crowd and said in a serious tone: "Now that Dachu is in crisis, we must elect a wise king as soon as possible to lead Dachu out of the predicament. During this period, all parties must work together to Fight against the demon clan together."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, the three old men arranged for some royal family members to start discussing the selection of the new king.

The eldest princess walked 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 Dachu."

Fang Yue nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, eldest princess, I will go all out to fight against the demon clan."

In the following days, Da Chu was caught up in the tense process of selecting a new king.

All parties participated and debated endlessly.

In this fierce debate, the situation in Dachu became increasingly tense.

In order to nominate candidates they support, some forces do not hesitate to use various means secretly, form cliques, and fight openly and secretly.

The eldest princess is deeply worried about this. She is worried that such internal fighting will further weaken Dachu's strength and give the demon clan an opportunity.

She found Fang Yue and discussed countermeasures together.

"Fang Yue, now that the election of the new king has fallen into 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 eldest princess said is absolutely true. But I believe that there is no one in the Chu Dynasty who is more suitable to lead Da Chu out of the predicament than Her Royal Highness the Princess.

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

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

When the eldest princess heard this, she was slightly startled, then shook her head and said:

"Fang Yue, you are flattering me. I am a woman, how can I be the king of a country? Besides, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be the king of Chu."

Fang Yue said disapprovingly: "Your Highness Princess, now that Dachu is in crisis, we should not stick to the old rules.

As the saying goes, women are not inferior to men, and Her Royal Highness's talents and moral character are not inferior to those of men.

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

The eldest princess fell into deep thought. Although she had concerns, she also understood that what Fang Yue said was reasonable.

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

After a while, the eldest princess raised her head, with determination in her eyes:

"Fang Yue, I am deeply touched by your words. But this matter is not trivial 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 king for Da Chu. "

Fang Yue nodded and said: "What Her Royal Highness Princess said is absolutely true. No matter what the final result is, I will fully support Her Royal Highness's decision and fight for the future of Dachu."

Subsequently, Fang Yue and the eldest princess continued to work hard to stabilize the situation in Dachu.

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

With their efforts, the situation in Dachu gradually stabilized, and the selection of the new king was proceeding in an orderly manner.

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

Some of the royal children who had coveted the throne of Dachu for a long time were filled with jealousy and uneasiness when they saw the eldest princess's increasing prestige during the selection process of the new king.

They secretly plotted to get rid of the eldest princess in order to clear the way for them to ascend the throne.

In a dark secret room, several royal children sat together and discussed the conspiracy in a low voice.

"The eldest princess is now gaining momentum. If she is allowed to continue, we may never have the chance to ascend to the throne." One of them said with a gloomy expression.

"Yes, we must find a way to get rid of her," another person agreed.

"But the eldest princess is guarded by Fang Yue, and she is now deeply popular among the people. It is not easy to take action." Someone raised doubts.

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

As a result, a conspiracy against the eldest princess quietly unfolded.

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

After the eldest princess learned about this, she knew that someone had done it deliberately, but she was not affected by the rumors and still worked firmly for Dachu's future.

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

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

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

The eldest princess nodded slightly: "I had expected it. They will do whatever it takes to get the throne. But we cannot let them disrupt our position. The top priority is to continue to stabilize the situation and prepare to fight against the demon clan."

Fang Yue looked at the eldest princess with admiration, and became more determined to protect her.

He began to deploy secretly, preparing to thwart the conspiracy of those royal children.

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

At the same time, he also sent his most capable spies to continue to investigate the next steps of the royal children.

As the days passed, those royal children became more and more restless when they saw that the rumors failed to work and the assassination was difficult to succeed.

They decided to take a desperate risk and united 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 evil intentions suddenly stood up and accused the eldest princess of being partial during the selection process of the new monarch and trying to manipulate the results.

They spoke fiercely and tried to incite other officials to be dissatisfied with the eldest princess.

The eldest princess watched these people's performance calmly without changing her expression. She spoke slowly:

"My lords, the selection of the new king is jointly discussed by many members of the royal family, and the process is fair and transparent. I only think about the future of Dachu, so how can I say that I am partial?"

Those officials refused to give up and continued to mess around.

At this moment, Fang Yue glared angrily and said sternly: "You have ulterior motives and maliciously slander the eldest princess. Who is instructing you?

The election of the new king is for everyone to see. It is fair and just. How can you slander it at will? If you don't know how to restrain yourself again, don't blame me for the military law. "

Fang Yue's momentum shocked the entire audience. The officials trembled in their hearts and looked at each other, not daring to speak any more.

The eldest princess nodded slightly and continued: "My lords, now that Dachu is in crisis, we should work together and work together for the future of Dachu. Instead of causing trouble for no reason and destroying unity."

Hahaha!

At this moment, an old minister stood up.

He stroked his beard and said with a serious look: "What the eldest princess said is absolutely true. However, our great Chu needs a new emperor."

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

The eldest princess was slightly startled, and then said: "What the old man said is reasonable, 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 uphold justice and elect a truly wise king. "

At the same time, the three princes of the Da Chu royal family suddenly appeared in the court. They were menacing, with a hint of persecution in their majestic faces.

The leading prince stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "The selection of the new monarch has been delayed for a long time. The situation in Dachu is critical and cannot be delayed any longer. We believe that the candidate for the new monarch should be determined quickly to stabilize the court."

Another prince continued: "Although the eldest princess has a virtuous reputation, she is a woman after all, and it is difficult for her to hold a big position. We propose that a person with high moral standing and outstanding ability be selected from the royal family and be enthroned as emperor immediately."

The third prince narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned the crowd: "If you continue to hesitate, Dachu 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 that she could not act out of anger at this time.

She said calmly: "Three princes, the selection of a new prince has its own procedures and rules, so it should not be rushed. And a truly wise prince must be selected to lead Dachu out of the predicament."

Fang Yue also stood up and faced the three princes without fear: "Three princes, the selection of the new prince is for the future of Chu, and cannot be influenced by selfish desires. Now all parties are working hard, and the suitable one will be selected. New King."

The expressions of the three princes darkened, and the leading prince snorted coldly: "Hmph, Fang Yue, as an outsider, what qualifications do you have to dictate here? The future of Da Chu should be decided by the royal family of Da Chu."

At this time, the atmosphere in the court became more tense, and everyone was waiting to see how the situation would develop.

At this time, the atmosphere in the court became more tense, and everyone was waiting to see how the situation would develop.

The three princes became even more angry when they saw that Fang Yue did not flinch.

The leading prince spoke again: "We have decided to make the fifth prince the new emperor. The fifth prince is intelligent, benevolent, and orthodox to 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 among themselves.

The eldest princess frowned slightly and said: "Three princes, the selection of the new king has not been finalized yet, so you cannot decide on your own. And whether the fifth prince is suitable to be emperor still needs to be considered by all parties."

Another prince sneered: "Eldest Princess, the situation is critical now and cannot be delayed any longer. The fifth prince is the best candidate and there is no need to discuss it further.

Furthermore, eldest princess, you are so pushy and obstructive. Could it be that you also have some plans for the throne? "

When the eldest princess heard this, her eyes sharpened, and she said seriously: "My heart is only for the people of Chu, and I have never coveted the throne.

The three princes should not judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. The selection of the new monarch should be based on the principle of fairness and justice, and should not be decided hastily based solely on the one-sided words of the three princes. "

The eldest princess's words were so powerful that the three princes were speechless for a moment. But they were not willing to give up. The leading prince glared at the eldest princess and said, "Elder princess, since you insist so much, let's see who can have the last laugh in the selection process of the new king."

Fang Yue stepped forward, protected the eldest princess, looked at the three princes without fear, and said: "Three princes, if you really think about Dachu, you should respect the fair selection process instead of forcibly supporting it. Choose your favorite candidate.”

The three princes snorted coldly, rolled up their sleeves and walked away. The atmosphere in the court was still tense, and the ministers were thinking about how the situation would develop next.

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

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

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

After the Wei Dynasty learned about this, they felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they followed the trend and issued a transfer order.

The news quickly spread to the Great Chu Court, and everyone was shocked.

After 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 it.

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

What's more important is that Fang Yueruo leaves.

The political affairs of Da Chu were really decided by the three princes.

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

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

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

After Fang Yue left, the three princes of Chu began to prepare intensively to assassinate the eldest princess.

They discussed the conspiracy again in the dark secret room.

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

"Yes, we must succeed this time. We can't let the eldest princess hinder our plan again." Another prince agreed.

They began to secretly gather killers and carefully planned assassinations.

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

She knew that she was shouldering Da Chu's future and could not back down.

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