THe bloodline only becomes weak when there is no threat to it. If every emperor had to fight his/her siblings for the throne then the Emperor is the strongest and bloodline would not become weak. Basically if Yuuie becomes the new empress and abolish the survival of the fittest system, Her bloodline won't last 5 generation.
A perfect example of this in anime would be the The legend of Galactic Heros. The decay of the goldenbum royal family and the high nobles and the raise of the Reinheart and his low level nobles.
