The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

"You unfilial son, isn't Xiangyue Tower your property? How could you allow a courtesan to injure the second young master of the Prime Minister's mansion?"

Father, you have misunderstood me! It is true that Xiangyue Tower belongs to me, but now it is no longer Xiangyue Tower, nor does it belong to me alone!

Just because it's not yours doesn't mean anything. I heard you were involved in the beating too! Humph!

I was saving them! They don't appreciate my kindness! They're making baseless accusations against me!

Gongsun Xiyan was so angry she wanted to bite this person who twisted the truth to death! Your Majesty, is this any kind of nonsense? You hit someone and still think you're right?

Your rebellious son has no good reason to forgive me today, and I will not let you off easily, nor will I forgive that audacious dancer!

Fairy Chenyue only played one song and Gongsun Ce coughed up blood and fainted! Besides, he was the one who flirted with her first! He even asked her to play another song! Could it be that he has some serious illness and is too lazy to play for the girl?

And that woman wasn't a dancer at all! She was Seventh Brother's woman! She was just temporarily invited to the store for the opening event! Hua Xizhi couldn't think of a perfect solution for the moment, so she had no choice but to shift the blame to Jun Moli!

I'm sure Father has heard about how Seventh Brother took that woman away later, right?

My son did that for their own good! If they all fell into the hands of my seventh brother, it would be a miracle if even one of them survived with a whole corpse! Since I've taken action, my seventh brother will naturally give me face!

Jun Linyuan looked at Gongsun Ao and the Empress with a questioning expression!

Is what Zhi'er said true?

Gongsun Ao looked uneasy; he certainly hadn't told the Emperor about this! He couldn't afford to offend Prince Li, much less bring him up! Unexpectedly, Hua Xizhi had spoken out without any restraint!

The matter of Rui'er offending that evil spirit last time hasn't even been forgotten! And this good-for-nothing son has caused trouble again! He's at his wit's end!

This old minister is unaware of what happened next! All I know is that my son was beaten by Prince Hua on Prince Hua's territory! I beg Your Majesty to do justice!

Jun Linyuan had a headache! He was in a difficult position because of the Seventh Prince! The Seventh Prince held control of 70% of the capital's military force! Even out of respect for Jun Linyuan, the Seventh Prince never gave him any face!

Jun Linyuan waved his hand, looking exhausted. "Alright, I understand the situation. It's just my own children having a little squabble, it's normal! To compensate the Prime Minister's residence, my beloved consort, please go to Yuzhen Pavilion and select some top-quality tonics to send back to Minister Gongsun! This rebellious son will be punished with three days of confinement! And Yipin Qianjin Pavilion will be sealed off for half a month as a warning to others!"

Gongsun Xiyan bit her lip, looking aggrieved! What's the difference between this punishment and no punishment at all?

Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's current behavior is entirely due to Consort Yue's poor upbringing! You've been lenient this time! Who knows how much more lawless he'll become next time!

"Your Majesty, one should take responsibility for one's own actions! What does this have to do with my mother? Please don't make false accusations!" Hua Xizhi exclaimed angrily.

Alright, that's settled! Stop arguing! Emperor Lin Yuan has made the final decision!

Gongsun Xiyan clung to Jun Linyuan's dragon robe, refusing to let it go! "Your Majesty, even if you don't punish him, shouldn't the young master at least pay for the medical expenses of the injured person? I've heard that the young master's newly opened First-Class Thousand Gold Pavilion earns a fortune every day, it's no exaggeration! Rumor has it that it makes a million taels a day!"

Emperor Lin Yuan was also shocked after hearing this! His national treasury's monthly tax revenue was no more than that! Was what the Empress said true?

Hua Xizhi was annoyed. She knew that the empress would cause trouble again if she didn't achieve her goal!

Father, I've already told you that the newly opened shop isn't just mine anymore! The money I get will be pitifully small! Your Majesty's words are a bit of an exaggeration! All you want is some compensation, right? I'll give it to you! Why go through all that trouble?

After finally seeing the group off, Emperor Lin Yuan frowned as he looked at the memorial! "Zhang Dezi, do you really think a shop can make that much money? That Xiangyue Tower was originally a gift from me to my third son, and making several thousand taels of silver in those few months was already considered good!"

Your Majesty, I've heard rumors these past few days that many wealthy families' sons, wives, and daughters are spending money there! I heard that a single member can deposit over 8 taels! Wow! A single jar of wine can sell for 5 or 6 taels! A million might be an exaggeration, but they must be making tens of thousands of taels a day!

What kind of wine is this? It's a hundred times more expensive than the wine in my palace! Is it really that good? That unfilial son not only doesn't offer me any money he's made, but he can't even offer me a jar of wine! This is outrageous!

Your Majesty, this entire empire is yours. Isn't it enough to simply issue a decree to the First-Class Thousand Gold Pavilion?

No matter who the young master partners with, they have no choice but to obediently come and offer you tribute! You can take whatever amount of silver and wine you want!

Oh? I advise Eunuch Zhang not to get his hands on that First-Class Thousand Gold Pavilion! It might bring trouble upon himself!

A figure exuding a chilling aura pushed open the door and entered!

The eunuch Zhang was so frightened that he jumped in fright! His whole body was covered in cold sweat! "This servant greets Prince Li!"

Jun Moli strode confidently to the tea table at the foot of the jade table! Before Emperor Lin Yuan could speak, he sat down and began to sip his tea!

Emperor Lin Yuan had no way to express his bitterness; he felt stifled in both his role as emperor and father! This seventh son was the one who gave him the most headaches among all his sons!

Hehe! Li'er, what brings you here?

Upon hearing Emperor Lin Yuan's question, Jun Moli calmly put down his teacup and continued speaking indifferently, "Fortunately, I came today, otherwise Father Emperor would have caused a great commotion!"

Emperor Lin Yuan looked displeased. "I am the emperor, the world belongs to me. What chaos could I possibly cause? Even if it does, I will wipe it out!"

Heh! Can Father Emperor wipe out the Demon Feather Palace? Oh! And there's also the Abyss Dark Palace?

Demon Feather Palace? Abyss Dark Palace?

One is a martial arts force renowned for its poisons, and the other for its exceptional assassinations! These forces keep to themselves from interfering with the imperial court, but attempting to wipe them out would be asking for trouble! It could easily result in mutual destruction!

Hmph! I don't have the time to bother with these insignificant people! You mean that the First-Class Thousand Gold Pavilion is backed by these two forces?

Hmm! Father is wise! One is skilled in poison, the other in assassination! If Father were to shut down their most profitable businesses, wouldn't cutting off someone's livelihood be like killing their parents? If these two families were to hate you together! Tsk tsk! Would Father still be able to sleep at night?

Emperor Lin Yuan was in a real bind. It wasn't worth making two troublesome enemies for that good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid from the Prime Minister's mansion! If he angered them, they might try poisoning or assassination at any moment! He wouldn't be able to sleep well! He glared at Zhang Dezi, who was still kneeling there! What are you still kneeling for? Get up and go retrieve the imperial edict sealing off the First-Rank Thousand Gold Pavilion!

Yes, this servant will go after him immediately! Zhang Dezi, who had been trembling with fear since Prince Li entered, felt as if he had been granted a pardon and ran away like the wind!

Jun Molin's lips curled into a smile! You naughty girl, I've done you a huge favor again!
