His Majesty might even think that 227 00:14:06,410 --> 00:14:09,860 Prince Regent might be harboring evil intentions. 228 00:14:10,980 --> 00:14:12,310 Go do it. 229 00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:13,720 Yes. 230 00:14:30,550 --> 00:14:31,830 You're here. 231 00:14:31,830 --> 00:14:33,470 How did you know that it's me? 232 00:14:33,470 --> 00:14:36,900 Other than Feifeng General, who else would dare to kick my doors? 233 00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:41,220 Highest Wisdom Sutra (Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra).

(taking advantage of the situation) 259 00:16:14,780 --> 00:16:16,530 If my guess is right, 260 00:16:16,530 --> 00:16:19,880 the other party is planning to make his attack during His Majesty's birthday banquet. Don't forget 261 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,960 that the red pearl-scale fish is a long life fish. They all dying overnight will surely anger His Majesty. 262 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,380 Plus the rumors spreading about the Prince Regent Manor lately, 263 00:16:27,380 --> 00:16:30,600 I fear that your reputation in the imperial court will hit rock bottom. 264 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,810 That's right.
