Nirvana in Fire
Episode 51
There
is where Prince Qi was imprisoned that year.
Let us go over there.
Don't worry
Prince Qi and the Chiyan case
will be resolved soon.
Ministers, I have some importantmatters I wish to say today
-Listen well-Yes
This matter, I had long made the decision
and will be done no matter what.
Today, what I am telling you is not up for discussion
but instead it is to have youparticipate in it
We await your orders, your Highness.
I want reopen the 13 year old case of Chiyan army.
Re-investigate, re-judge the case
Clearing Brother's and the Lin Clan's name
Until this aim is achieved I will never stop
So the news of Xue Yu's death hasfinally reached the Capital.
After all this, you are still willing to come sendme off.
Thank you.
Why are you bing so polite?
If I don't come to send you off,I would hear an ear full from Jingrui.
You and Jingrui are different. You do not oftenwander the Pugilistic world.
Here is some extra money and also a map.
You will need these on the road.
It is a long way to Qian Zhou
and a place of damp and dysentery smoke
I worry for you.
No matter how far the distance, I must go.
No matter what he did, he is still my father.
Now that he died in a distant and foreign place
the only thing that I can do
is to bring his body home.
I used to think of you as smooth and clever Now it seems I have underestimated you
Who would have thought after all the thingsthat has happened
you are the strongest by Princess Li Yang's side.
Without older brother here, there is no oneto care of mother.
If you have time, please look in on her for me.
Don't worry, I will. Take care of yourself.
See you.
Safe travels
-Xie Bi has left the Capital?-Yes.
Have some people watch him on histravels.
He is still only an innocent child in all of this.
Yes.
Has there been news?
Not yet.
Qian Zhou is a fair distance from here
I don't know how muchhardship he may go through on his travels.
Second Master is a steady person, he willalright.
Who are you?
There is an assassin
Protect the Princess!
Who is it? Capture him! Don't let him get away.
Jingrui, you returned.
Mother, are you alright?
Good
If all patients were like, it would be great.
You listen and you are hardworking,
much better than some people.
You're asking about Changsu?
He's sleeping.
I don't understand.
Okay, okay
Even though I still don't understand
but I am guessing you are not asking about Changsu's condition in the future
but about your wife's situation in the prisons?
I'm smart, aren't I?
Changsu's health, you don't need to worry about.
Your wife's situation isn't somethingI concern myself with
right now, I am only looking after you.
Your condition is getting better
but you must not over exert yourself right now
return to your room and rest.
Listen
Sir Lin, are you still here?
I am still alive, thank you very much. What are you guys shouting about?
We found it.
-Found it.-What did you find?
We found the Bingxu grass.
It was just sent back from Donghai, not damaged at all.
We very careful, even used a glass jar to hold it, the roots are also not damaged.
- Have a look, quick.-Yes, please check.
Indeed, it is Bingxu grass.
Then that's good.
Since we found the herb, when will you start?
Yes, when?
Start what?
Help Chief treat the poison.
Wei Zheng, I really do not want to disappoint you
Bingxu grass is indeed a wondrous herb,that's beyond rare.
It must have taken a lot of effort for the Yaowang Valley people to find it.
But who told you that
this Bingxu grass is able to treat xiao-Shu's illness?
It was the old Master of Langya Hall.
Young master Lin, what did you mean by disappointment?
It was the old Master who told me personally
that Bingxu grass can remove the poison in young Marshal's body.
- Do you not know how to use it?- Do you?
If you don't know how to use it, I will
look for Old Master and bring him back here.
When did my father tell you about this herb?
It was that year, when I accompanied him on a voyage out to sea.
As we were deck, he drank some wine and start to talk,
he said that in the archives of Langya Hall, it's recorded that
bingxu grass can cure the poison of the bitter flame.
But the next day when he awoke, he refusedto admit what he said.
He said that it was just drunken nonsense.
Perhaps it is drunken nonsense.
How can that be
I remember seeing it in the archives in Langya Hall.
There really is a book, which recorded it, and it even had a picture, it looks exactly like that.
When did you look at books at Langya Hall?
I.. I.. I..
True, there is a recording of this in the books
But if there was a cure like this for xiao-Shu's illness
why would I not have told you guys aboutthis years ago?
and have you guys search for it?
Jingrui, it would have been good if you arrived home a day earlier.
Bi-er has left for Qian Zhou.T/N: Bi-er refers to Xie Bi
I know.
Once he settles the burial, he'll be back soon.
Before younger brother returns
I will keep you company.
Jingrui
last night, that assassin
why did she want to kill me?
I'm a person of no importance now,
who would want me dead?
Is it because of this?
The letter that Marquise Xie wrote before he left,
Mother, have you kept it on you all this time?
I have never let it leave my side..
Have you read the contents then Mother?
I will not let anyone see this letter.
I will not read it either.
What you did in the past, I do not want to know either.
It is better you don't know.
I agreed to keep hold of this letter
because he entrusted it,
and also to keep him alive.
I didn't want to know what it contained.
Jingrui, do you want to read it?
Mother's safety is the most important.
I need to know the people that are implicated in this letter,
and only then will I know how to handle the situation.
Mother if you really don't want to know what's in the letter,
then I will read it myself.
No, if we read it, we read it together.
If its a painful memory from the past, it'll be easier to to bear with two people.
easier to bear with two people.

All of the things you say I've thought of before.But the ancient texts have recorded that
bingxu grass grows in poisonous swamps.
Often people die or spend their whole lives and still cannot find one.
I think, perhaps, young Marshal didn'twant us to endanger ourselves.
So that is why he would not let you guys tell us about it.
You're good at guesting aren't you.
Just because he won't let ussay anything, you think we wouldn't say it?
You think that my father and I are like you guys?
Doing everything as he says?
- Young master Lin...- I'm not done.
The reason we didn't say anything is because there is not purpose in saying.
If there is no purpose, then way say itand make you guys think about it for no reason.
Why is there no purpose?
But this, it has defiantly cured the poison before.
Yes, it can cure it. But do you know how it was cured?
I.. I don't know
But I thought you would know.
Alright. The listen carefully.
How the treatment is done, is recorded in another book.
The book you read is useless.
You need 10 healthy people with adequate Qi and blood to perform blood transfusion with the patient.
After the transfusion the patient will be able to recover.
For the 10 people, the process is not only painful and
in the end they will die of blood loss.
To put it simply,
To use Bing Shi Chao to save someone,it is basically exchanging ten lives for one.
- But we can-- Don't tell me you are all willing.
To find ten willing people to givetheir lives for Changsu is not difficult.
But have you thought about it, would Changsu be willing?
Young Master Lin, can we do it in secret?
No. Is that the only thing you can think of?
Both parties need to stay focused and conscious.
Neither one can have any hesitation.
It's essentially,
the patient actively drawing blood from the 10 donors.
You all know Changsu's personality well.
To have him do this, you may as wellkill him instead.
The person who was cured of the Poison of the Bitter Flame over a hundred years ago,
took away the lives of 10 people who were willing to exchange lives.
He lived.
But he lost the morals in his heart.
Life or morals, to have one is to lose the other.
Which one would Changsu choose,
you guys should know.
Why.
Why do only selfish people live,
but those with a heart and the righteous die?
The heavens have made such a cruel choice.
Is there no fairness in this world?
How is there no fairness?
In people's eyes,
living and dying is their biggest worry.
But in the vastness of the world there are many troubles,
the equity of all
cannot be determined by how long a person lives.
A century ago, that person did survive,
but the things he lost,
weren't they more important than his life?
Just listen to this rhetoric,
he's about to enlighten himself into a Buddha.
If you really understand him, youshould forget about this.
If he keeps continuing like this, he'll end up as a monk,
even before he dies.
You can't
Jingrui, you can't go.
Back then, this case was personally handled by his Majesty.
What do you want to do? What can you do?
Mother, I don't know what I can do
I only know that after seeing this truth,
I cannot do nothing.
Jingrui, you don't know
You don't know how cruel he is.
Back then, there were many that defended them
But he didn't listen. Not a word.
Jinyang-jiejie,
Consort Chen, Prince Qi Jingyu.
When I saw them die,
I knew
his Majesty had made the cruelest of all resolves.
It was only because he was given fake evidences -
- He thought-- You don't understand!
This is his absolute bottom line,
if anyone dares to cross it, it's equivalent to undermining his Imperial power.
there will be no good outcomes from this.
Think about it
Old Master Li Cong, Grand Imperial Tutor, your uncle Prince Ying,
which one of them was not an important member of the Court?
No one can change the heart of a cold blooded and harsh Emperor.
Jingrui, do you think you could tell everyone
of the great mistake his Majesty made?
Then, Mother
should we act as if we know nothing of this?
Wipe the truth from our memories,
act as if we have never read this letter at all? Is that right?
A Noble Prince, a famous Scholar,
70,000 loyal souls.
The innocence and hopes of so many people,
are just buried like this without a sound.
Jingrui.
I know what you are thinking, mother.
But the truth is the truth.
Why we may not be able to right all the wrongs,
but at the very least
we cannot be the accomplices of people who hid the truth.
But you can't accomplish this.
Apart from wasting a whole lot of people's lives you won't be able to achieve anything.
Jingrui.
You are my son, my blood.
I cannot watch you send yourself off to be killed.
But mother
there are people coming for this letter already,
we are no longer able to stay out of it all.
Even though I want to do something about this
but for you, I will not act rashly.
Then we give this letter to the Crown Prince.
Mother, do you mean Prince Jing?
Yes, him.
Prince Qi taught Jingyan since he was young.
There is a tie of brother that cannot be cut.
And there's also Xiao-Shu of the Lin Household,
that were best friends.
If there is anyone
who wants to prove the innocence ofPrince Qi and the Lin House,
it would be him.

Chief. A message has come from the Eastern Palace.
The Crown Prince has discussed it with Marquis Yan and he has agreed to do it.
Marquis Yan is only the back up.
Having Princess Li Yang appear is the main act.
Then tomorrow morning are we still going to the Eastern Palace?
Yes, we are going. Besides, there are some thingsI need to make clear for Jingyan.
Yes.
First thing you tell me this morning is this?
What do you mean by it?
Re-addressing the old Chiyan case is almost prepared
Chiyan will be deemed innocent in front of the world.
Why are you saying that it can't be like the past?
Even if this case is overturned completely,
I can only be Mei Changsu, not Lin Shu.
Why can't you?
As long as you are proved innocent, of course you can regain your original identity.
If anyone dares to have an opinion-
Please, let me finish.
The type of person Su Zhe is
everyone in the Capital knows.
I am a deceptive strategist whose actions are morally questionable.
Though it is a good tactic for taking power, it will never be the most righteous path.
-But... -Jingyan
for me, after the re-trial of the case, it isthe end.
But for you, it is only the beginning.
What about it?
You are the future emperor
You must clear the court of corruption, strengthen the country and protect the people.
You must reverse the Liang Dynasty's deteriorating situation.
You must give the world a political arena that is honest, pure and just.
in order to reach this goal
You need to have a perfect beginning.
The spirits of the dead are watching us.
They also want you to be seen as a
loyal, kind
and righteous ruler in the eyes of the people.
I can do this.
I trust that you can do this.
That is why by your side
you cannot have a strategist like Su Zhe.
Otherwise people would misunderstand you, thinkingthat you have other intentions
this would be counter productive to whatour aims are.
But this, can't we just explain it?
I used the Su Zhe name as a cover in the capital.
These past two years, all the things thathas happened
cannot be unattached to me.
And also, my appearance has greatly changed
there are no marks of the past on me
if with even your testimonies thatI am Lin Shu
That would be too frightening.
making people unable to believe it
I don't want our actions to bring justice to the innocents
to be warped into something that is speculated of being false and unofficial.
Then all the work that I have donefor the past 13 years, would be for nothing.
I will go report it.
Young Master
Mother.
It is because of all the hardships you wentthrough these past 13 years
that I cannot let you suffer any more.
Even if other people misunderstand
that is their problem, you should not mind it.
In truth, I mind it.
I hope that you mind it as well.
As long as you keep perspective of the people
you will understand how to be constrained and reflective of your actions,
and how to become a just Emperor.
Xiao Shu, what you are saying are twodifferent things.
Not being Lin Shu..I am not saddened.
I have been Mei Changsu for thirteen years
I am used to it.
Let the Lin Shu everyone remembers
stay in their memories that way.
Isn't that better?
Your Highness, Princess Liyang seeks your audience.
Alright.
Your Highness.
Aunt.
Jingrui.
Greetings, your Highness.
Please, enter.
Your Ladyship.
Jingrui, it has been a while.
I did not think I would see you here, Sir Su.
When I first met you at the Snow Cottage, I knew you were one of a kind.
From what I've seen today, you definitely have the artifice of a Divine Talent.
Grand Princess, you flatter me.
Thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince, my skills have been appreciated.
Since I am a citizen of Liang, how can I not contribute to its future?
Jingyan, I came here today to talkto you about something important.
Outsiders should not be here. Sir Su,if you could leave us please.
No need.
Mr Su can be treated like myself
Whatever Aunt wishes to speak with me about
you can say it in front of Sir Su.
Her Ladyship is here today because of the confession Marquis Xie
left behind I presume.
How did you know, Brother Su?
It is because it was my idea forhim to write down the confession.
I am guessing that the two of youhas read Marquis Xie's confession.
What are your thoughts on it?
You already knew the contents of the confession?
What use is it for me to know it?
No one else knows it.
Grand Princess, you were very close with your sister.
I wonder if she has ever entered your dreams.
Since you already know about this written confession,you must want it.
Actually, today the reason we came today,was to give to Prince Jing.
Please, take it.
You're wrong.
We don't want this confession.
The crown prince has something important
to ask you to help him with.
Brother Su, my mother has been secluded for quite some time.
There is only so much that she can do.
If Your Highness has any orders,
I am willing to do it instead.
Jingrui, this task is
outside of your limits.
Aunt.
Since I am asking you the favor,
it is certainly a matter that only you can complete.
Please follow me, Marquis Yan.

Son.
Zhuo-er, kneel down and bow to him.
- As a show of gratitude for his blood.- Yes
Not keeping himself in line, not holding a just heart
then power and wealth will be like a mist,
In this life, you should take him as a warning.
No matter the situation, never forget the kindness in your heart.
I understand.
Rise then.
Once you have received your punishment,
Zhuo-er will take care of your funeral affairs.
On Qingming and Hanshi, he will pay his respects to you.(Note: Qingming, Hanshi: Festivals one pays respects to ancestors and late relatives)
If the Crown Prince has something on his mind, please speak.
In a few days, it will be Father's birthday.
Members of the royal family and all major Court officials will gather.
This letter, is Xie Yu's own confession,
and Aunt, your are Xie Yu's wife
I want to beg of Aunt, on the day of the banquet,to bring this letter before all of the ministers.
To turn in Xie Yu and accept his crimes on his behalf.
What are you saying
As Aunt knows
What Father values most in his life
is his authority and power.
This case is closely tied to his name
No matter how shocking the truth of the case is,he will never admit his mistakes
and allow himself to be named as a fatuous and cruel Emperor who killed his own son in history.
So I must create a situation that he cannot get out of, where everyone is against him,
a situation that is completely out of his control.
Whether he wants to or not
he will have to give his consent to retrial this case.
As for the introduction of this scene,we need your support.
No, no, we can't.
Mother.
This plan of yours is just too reckless
Please rest assured Aunt, no matter the situation progresses afterwards
I will ensure your safety, I will not let them hurt you.
If His Majesty, in his rage, takes forceful measures
how can you protect me?
Since I have decided to take this course of action
I would have made needed preparations.
Father is no longer the same as before
I am also not the same as Prince Qi.
What I intend to do, is to clear their names,not to plunge myself into the abyss.
Without any contingency plans,it wouldn't be courage, but simple recklessness
Jingyan
No matter what you say,making me reveal the truth in front of all
is not an easy task
If I did as you say,
what benefit is it for me?
The housekeeper of Zhaoren Palacesent someone to pass a message
He says, he has something to report to Madam
Greetings your highness the Nobel Consort.
- No need to stand on ceremony.- Thank you Madame
Is something the matter in Zhaoren Palace?
Consort Xian since being confined in her Palace, her temper has been getting worse and worse.
Previously she only wanted to see his Majesty, but today she suddenly got angry,
and said some nonsense.
The Housekeeper got scared so he sent me to get your opinion Madame.
Consort Yue of Xian must be missing Prince Xian.
I will go see her now.
Grand Princess are you asking about what benefits you'll have after the reveal?
You already know the truth of the case,
yet you are asking whether there are any personal benefits from overturning this case.
Do the wrongly accused spirits
mean nothing to you?
Are they simply bystanders?
That's fine then.
One needs the utmost courage to be the first plaintiff in court.
If the Grand Princess has no sincerity to help,it will cause the opposite effect
and hurt Your Highness' plan
we should find someone else.
Thank you Aunt, for your efforts in bringing this here.
Please accept our gratitude, in the name of the deceased.
There are more thingsI have to discuss with Sir Su
Aunt, thank you for coming.
-Jingyan-Please return, Aunt.
