The Princess summons her own elder royal uncle for trial, which is an act of filial impiety and unkindness.
Moreover, rumors are spreading that it is all a conspiracy by the Princess to seize power.
Now, it's widely rumored outside that the Princess wants to eliminate dissidents to become the future Empress.
And the Prince, who holds significant military power, is her first target for removal.
"Did you hear? The Prince wants to return to his own territory, but the Princess isn't allowing him, intending to take the Prince's life."
"I've heard as well; the Prince has already given up on vying for the throne, just wanting to return to the north to spend his remaining years in peace, but the Princess refuses."
"The Princess must be worried that if the Prince returns, it's like letting a tiger back into the mountain. She's trying to eradicate the problem entirely!"
