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!"

"I’ve heard the Princely Heir was killed by the Princess! Some say the Princely Heir wanted to expose the Prince’s crimes, but was secretly killed by the Prince. How could that be?"

"They are father and son; how could there be internal strife? It must have been engineered by the Princess."

"It’s really unexpected; she’s so young and beautiful, yet so cruel at heart!"

"Isn’t it said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more deceitful? Isn’t this exactly the kind of woman the Princess is?"

"Alas, it’s such a waste of such a good appearance..."

Outside Guang’anmen Square, countless citizens are gathered.

Some who previously had a favorable impression of Chu Qianli, the Princess now see her treatment of her own royal uncle, and their goodwill has swiftly diminished.

No matter what crime the Prince may have committed, as a junior, the Princess should not treat her elder in such a manner.

Now, the Prince is forced to kneel in the center of the square, while the Princess sits high above.

Looking at this scene, doesn’t it chill the heart?

The most important thing is, hasn’t the Prince committed no major crime?

All this is merely a method to seize power.

"Princess, may I ask what crime the Prince has committed that you make him kneel in public?"

The arriving ministers can no longer bear it.

The Prince, esteemed as a sovereign, ranks just below the Emperor in Nanming Country.

Especially since he holds significant authority, which no mere Princess can compare to.

The Princess actually made him kneel at Guang’an Gate, a place only reserved for serious offenders of the court!

The Princess has gone too far!

The people below also protest one after another: "Release the Prince! Release the Prince!"

The Princess’s act of making the Prince kneel in Guang’anmen Square is not just a slap to the Prince’s face, but a slap to the face of all ministers and citizens of Nanming Country!

Could it be that a daughter of heaven can do whatever she pleases?

"Release the Prince! Release the Prince!"

"The Princess is cruel and unkind; we refuse to accept this!"

"Indeed! We refuse to accept this! We refuse to accept this!"

The citizens are unprecedentedly united; this time, no one supports the Princess.

Even the Royal Guards under the Princess appear troubled, not entirely willing to obey the Princess’s command.

The Prime Minister, standing beside Chu Qianli, quietly says: "Princess, what crime do you intend to impose on the Prince?"

He was invited by the Princess as a witness.

Although the Prime Minister has always sided with the Emperor, he absolutely disapproves of the Princess’s actions.

If not for a heinous crime, how can one forcibly make the Prince kneel before everyone?

Kneeling below, the Prince was initially furious enough to almost explode, but now, seeing everyone pleading for him, the Prince is no longer angry.

He instead wants to see how Chu Qianli will resolve this situation!
