[Nirvana in Fire 2: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin] 3
[Episode 23] 4
I've followed the Wei brothers for a long time, 5
they have never discovered me. 6
Yet Puyang Ying knows very clearly that I'm indecisive. 7
So for the past twenty years, 8
I have no one 9
whom I really know. 10
Young Prince, what are you talking about? 11
I didn't. 12
I didn't-- 13
Ancient supplementary... 14
[Ancient Supplementary] 15
Ancient Supplementary? 16
I finally found it. 17
It's right beneath my eyes. Why didn't I see it before? 18
Ping Zhang-ge! 19
Ping Zhang-ge! 20
Ancient Supplementary. I finally found it. 21
- There's really such a book? - Huh? 22
I meant it's been really hard on you. 23
It just so happen that I have some questions to ask Old Master LI, let's go together. 24
Let's go. 25
It took me a long time to find this. So tiring. 26
- Xi'er. - Teacher. 27
Where is the new batch of Bai Yin herb delivered by the Medical Bureau? 28
It's in the storehouse at the back. I'll get it. 29
Old Master LI, where's Lin Xi? 30
She's at the back getting some medicine. 31
Second Young Master, I have something to tell you. 32
Can you come over, please? 33
Old Master LI, please pass her this when she's out. 34
It's the tattoo of those death warriors, which I've told her before. 35
Sister Yun, what's going on? 36
Didn't you say before that the High Priest of Qian Tian Court, 37
Puyang Ying is the mastermind behind this epidemic? 38
That's right. Why? 39
I saw him. 40
You saw Puyang Ying? 41
In the capital? 42
It's at Nanming street, where the authorities are giving out food. 43
I saw him among the crowd. I didn't dare to go near. I can bring you there. 44
Alright. 45
Teacher, the herbs are here. 46
Xi'er, Second Young Master was here. 47
He left you a drawing of the tattoo of the death warriors for you to have a look. 48
Death warriors? 49
Have you seen Sister Yun? 50
She was outside just now. She asked Second Young Master to go out with her. 51
Oh no. 52
Quick, they are distributing food. 53
Sister Yun, the food distribution centre is right in front, right? 54
Yes, right in front. 55
Are you the lady from Ji Feng Hall? Why did you do this? 56
I'm alright. 57
Ye Ling. 58
Second Young Master! Are you alright? 59
- I'm alright. Just a small wound. - Let me bandage it for you. 60
No need. Why did you rush over? 61
I saw the drawing you left me. I saw it before. 62
What's that? 63
Sister Yun knew that if Pingjing shows me the drawing, 64
I would know that you have this tattoo. 65
Do you think that if you don't do it now, you would never have the chance? 66
You came to Ji Feng Hall ten over years ago. 67
Looks like your target is not Second Young Master. Who was your original target? 68
Is it Old Master LI or me? 69
As a disciple of Ye Ling, we can differentiate right from wrong. 70
I'm indebted to the doctors. I will not hurt you. 71
Yelingzi again. 72
That Wei Wuliang mentioned that he's a Yelingzi before he died. 73
What's a Yelingzi? 74
Your Imperial Highness. 75
You have a better appetite now and have more energy. 76
But the Imperial Doctor had said that you can't overtire yourself. 77
You have walked for the duration of a meal. 78
You should rest now and have some snacks. 79
I know. 80
Your Imperial Highness. 81
I'm alright. 82
The wound is not deep. Be careful not to let it come in contact with water. Remember to change your dressing. 83
This is a good dagger. 84
No matter what identity you have before, 85
since you are a member of Ji Feng Hall for so many years, 86
you should know what's right and wrong, what's evil and good. 87
Why didn't you turn hack and change for the good? 88
As long as I'm a Yelingzi, 89
I should pledge allegiance to my king forever, and obey Sect Leader. 90
As to what's right and wrong, what's evil and good, it's not up to me to know and to think about. 91
The record about Mozhen flower in this book is rather detailed. 92
But a chapter is missing from this book. 93
So I still don't understand 94
why would it be tattooed on these people. 95
What significance does it have? 96
It's not that complicated. 97
Back then, though Ye Qin is a vassal state of Great Liang, 98
but the imperial system is vastly different from ours. 99
Since the first king of Ye Qin, there's a separate building within the palace in the capital. 100
It's known as Yeling Study Palace. 101
Unless you have extraordinary talents and are selected from thousands of children, 102
you can never enter through the doors of Yeling Study Palace. 103
Every 7 years, the imperial court of Yeqin 104
would select fifty children age 7 and above, who have great talents and abilities. 105
whether they are boys or girls, the Mozhen flower would be tattooed on them. 106
They would enter Yeling Study Palace 107
and be taught literary and martial arts by the Sect Leader and deputy leaders. 108
Only one Mozhen flower would be tattooed on them when they first enter the Study Palace. 109
Once they reach 14 years old, the Sect Leader himself will conduct an assessment. 110
After several rounds of stringent tests, 111
only about 2 percent would pass the tests and be allowed to stay. 112
Another Mozhen flower would be tattooed on them. 113
It would be the same as this. Two flowers on one stalk. 114
So those with two flowers on a stalk 115
is a Yelingzi. 116
They have to be trained for another 4 years after becoming a Yelingzi, 117
after that they would be assigned guards of the royal family. 118
They enjoyed high status in Yeqin. 119
How about those who weren't selected? 120
They would go back to where they come from. 121
But the selection criteria to enter the Study Palace is already very stringent 122
so even if they can't be a Yelingzi, 123
with their talents and abilities, they would still be successful. 124
Though they would be successful, yet after losing what they have gotten it in the first place, 125
they would still be unsatisfied and unhappy. 126
Older brother. 127
You have been diligent and training hard 128
you must have made some mistakes in the assessment. 129
Let's beg the Sect Leader to give you another chance. 130
Forget it. There has never been such an exception before. 131
Our parents will be very happy you can be a Yelingzi. 132
Before the epidemic happened, a batch of Yelingzi had been ordained. 133
It's a pity the royal family has all died, 134
with no family and no country, these children 135
can only wander and live in different places, like the rest of the survivors. 136
Though their plight is rather pitiful, 137
it's a great fortune to have survived such an epidemic. 138
With their talents, they should have been able to find a living. 139
Why did they do such vicious things? 140
Though our king has died, 141
we still have a great vengeance. Since Sect Leader has orders, 142
as a Yelingzi, how can we live such an ignoble life and not seek revenge for my king? 143
Your Sect Leader has died from the illness 25 years ago. 144
I was there when he passed away. How could there be orders from him? 145
Sect Leader is wise beyond knowledge. 146
He would have given his order to someone. 147
The Sect Leader I know is a very knowledgeable person, reasonable and sensible. 148
He is surely not a stubborn and paranoid person. 149
Even if he has passed down any golden order, 150
he would not have left such a ridiculous order to revenge. 151
It's because of Great Liang's order to seal the borders 152
that's why my country perished. 153
You can have all the excuses in the world, 154
but you can not change the facts. 155
In his last words, Sect Leader 156
said there isn't any country which could stay prosperous forever, 157
since the heavens doesn't have pity on us, then we shouldn't force it. 158
He gave me this order to me, it's just for memory sake. 159
Since we no longer have any king to follow, 160
We just need to live on. There is no need to hate. 161
The fact that our king didn't survive the epidemic and the royal line perished, 162
is all because Great Liang has cut off our means of survival. 163
how can you as a Yelingzi said we should't seek revenge? 164
My parents have passed away, I know you are as sad as me. 165
But to put the blame on Great Liang, it's groundless 166
and futile. Those in Yeling Study Palace have been scattered. 167
Before the king and Sect Leader passed away, they had no desire to seek revenge. 168
I won't disobey them. 169
All the more, I won't use this golden order to call back anyone. 170
Brother, why don't you forget such a thought. 171
and accept the realities. 172
Sect Leader, you said though I have great talent and ability, 173
I have character flaws. 174
So I'm not fit to be a Yelingzi. 175
But so many years have passed, 176
the one who seek revenge for you and who will think of you, 177
I am the only one! 178
May I ask you 179
if you know where did the survivors of Yeling Study Palace 180
go to after that? 181
After the epidemic, the population is very low 182
the year after that is famine. 183
Many have run off to other places, the whole country is like a dead city. 184
It's only until 3 years later, Yeqin is officially declared as a province of Great Liang, 185
then people started to gradually return. 186
After such a great disaster, 187
Puyang Yang still was able to call back so many Yelingzi and had them obey him, 188
I believe he really has the golden order of the Study Palace. 189
From Puyang Ying's actions, 190
this person is crazy and paranoid. 191
The Sect Leader back then was wise and gentle, 192
I can't figure out why 193
he would pass the golden order to such a person. 194
I think we can't find the answer to this question anymore. 195
What I'm worried is whether are there other Yelingzi in the capital. 196
This is what your brother wants me to help you find. I've searched for it for many days. 197
The thing that Brother wants you to help me find? 198
Right, this is for me. 199
It's finally been found. Thank you, Sister-in-law. 200
Old Master, the Royal Physician Commander is here, waiting at the outer hall. 201
Minister Tang? Alright. 202
It must be for a good news. Will you permit me to hear it too? 203
After you, Prince. 204
Old Master. 205
You're here too, Prince. 206
What might bring your visit here, Minister Tang? 207
Old Master, our royal medicine bureau has spent days patrolling 208
and made inquiries about each district's disease status. 209
We can be sure that the current disease status 210
is under control. 211
Minister Tang, do you mean, the ban in the capital can be lifted? 212
Prince, the royal medicine house has already announced to the inner court 213
and we are just awaiting the final approval. 214
The disease did not apread outside the area, while the damage within the city is severe. 215
But nevertheless, it is quarantined. 216
The Crown Prince's health is improving well. 217
It's all a blessing from Heaven. 218
Thanks to His Majesty's fortune. 219
Speaking of the Crown Prince, 220
I have a question that I've been wanting to ask you. 221
I recollect there is a record in the old files and Minister Tang, you've mentioned it as well before. 222
That this plaque was not easily contracted by the childnre and the youth in Yeling City at the time. 223
Not just then but this time in the capital, it was the same phenomenon. 224
If that's the case, and His Highness the Crown Prince is barely eleven years old and under meticulous care to boot, 225
with so many people in the Eastern Palace, how is it 226
that the first to contract the illness is he and from where? 227
The Crown Prince was the first to contract the illness in the palace? 228
Wait. 229
What happened? 230
A woman. I actually didn't think about the palace maids. 231
When the Wei brothers died by your hands, 232
I already didn't mind any danger and informed her. 233
Right now, like me, she already know that you have discovered the mozhen flower. 234
Since she cannot hide her identity anymore, 235
she will make her move if given the slightest chance. 236
Second Young Master is far outside of the palace walls and you just realized it now, 237
It's too late. 238
Elder Brother, I remembered. 239
The Eastern Palace. One of the senior palace maids by the side of the His Imperial Highness. 240
Let's hurry and go! 241
It is enough for me to take care of him. You all are already tired. Leave and rest now. 242
Yes. 243
Her Lady Majesty has already gave orders that His Imperial Highness must have people around him while he sleeps. 244
The capital has already lifted up the city closure. His Majesty will be coming back in a few days. 245
For the ceremonies to ward off disasters and to pay respect to the dead, your Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Ceremonies 246
should prepare for it beforehand and have your plan read by His Majesty. 247
Yes, I will go to the Ministry of Rites now. 248
What is going on? 249
You are looking like that. 250
Senior Grand Secretary, 251
Capital Governor Li Gu who died in the Celestial Prison was a disciple of yours. 252
The judicial commissioner heading the Celestial Prison is a clan member of ours. 253
Uncle, you think I will believe 254
that Li Gu committed suicide for fear of punishment? 255

- Is Crown Prince sleeping? - He has just slept. It is not proper to wake him up. 257
Then you two just stay here and serve him. 258
After 2 hours, when it is time for His Imperial Highness to drink his medicine, Her Lady Majesty will personally come here. 259
Yes. 260
I can be sure that I was 261
too slow-witted and negligent. 262
I disappointed Pingzhang's trust. 263
- Brother Xun! - What has happened?! 264
The Eastern Palace...Puyang Ying has an underling in the Easter Palace! 265
Your Imperial Highness! 266
Are you alright?! Don't be afraid! 267
We children of Yeling 268
were intially 269
like you. 270
We had a kingdom, a home. 271
Pingzhang, it was really quite perilous today. 272
Seeing these sons of Yeling, you feel hate, 273
pity, and frightened by them. 274
If a person develops obsessions, 275
he will look at everyone else in this world with hatred and grudges. 276
- Pingjing, what's wrong? - What's wrong? 277
I'm fine. Maybe, I just had some lingering fear. 278
Informing Respected Sect Leader, Jinling City has already lifted the closure of the city. 279
Did you try contacting them? 280
Replying to Respected Sect Leader, I've already sent men to do it. 281
- It is just... - What? 282
Auntie Yun and Senior Palace Maid Xing in the palace, both can't be contacted. 283
It is also very quite in the Eastern Palace and Chang Lin Manor. 284
It does not look like that something bad has happened. 285
From the looks of it, we can only use the xuanchi snake for treatment now. 286
Respected Sect Leader, please take care of yourself. 287
If the Eastern Palace is quiet, it means that nothing happened. 288
For Chang Lin Manor...we cannot be sure. 289
Those who are inflicted with the frost bone poison will only show evident symptoms after 3 days. 290
Send someone to monitor. I think Auntie Yun will not fail. 291
Yes. 292
Go! 293
Hurry! 294
The gallbladder of the xuanchi snake is not curable. 295
Even if you know what the antidote is, 296
it's too late to save him. 297
What is she saying? Save whom? 298
Chief Sir, Auntie Yun has been captured already. 299
However, she succeeded. 300
I know. 301
Wu Bing, Wu Liang. They were both captured. 302
And they've committed suicide. 303
I will set up an altar to help them go beyond. Where they will go is a place more beautiful than here. 304
To be able to offer our ultimate for you, Sir, 305
it is a great fortune of our Yeling heirs. 306
And my great honor as well. 307
Xin. 308
Master. 309
What are you doing? 310
I thought of it all night and I don't believe Yun Jie would say those things for no reason. 311
To think a Yeling was able to sneak into the Eastern Palace! Her Highness the Empress must be beyond frightened. 312
The entire palace and the royal forbidden army is running a full investigation right now. 313
The tattoo pattern has been shown to the inner court as well with a command for the six ministries to run their own inquiry. 314
Puyang Ying is still on the run, so this is the extent we can do. 315
By the way, I left homework for you before my departure. 316
With the busy chaos since I've been back, I haven't had the chance to test you. 317
You probably got lazy and didn't do it. 318
Master, look at this... is it... 319
Frost bone. 320
This is frost bone poison. 321
Besides those places we just talked about, 322
Huizhou and Feishan, these two places are clearly deficient in maneuvering power and it will be difficult for them to respond. 323
Royal Father will adjust by priority. 324
The last is the Ningzhou matter. 325
You studied well. 326
What's the matter? 327
I feel a little dizzy. Maybe it's because I've been worrying too much. 328
The ban on the capital was lifted and with the sudden relaxing, I just need a rest and will be fine. 329
You don't have a fever but you seem chillier than normal. 330
We will stop our talk on the northern border today. 331
Your face really doesn't look good. 332
Go take a rest now. I'll wake you up when it's dinnertime. 333
Your sister-in-law is cooking tonight. 334
Second Young Master. Are you alright? 335
I'm fine. I just started to feel ill yesterday and it's worse today. 336
Let me ask for the doctor. 337
It's not necessary. Thanks. 338
You go do your thing. 339
Second Young Master. Let me assist you to your room. 340
It's alright. I'm fine. 341
You go ahead. 342
Yes. 343
Second Young Master. 344
Second Young Master! 345
Come! Come now! 346
Don't move him. 347
Don't move. 348
Loosen it. 349
Help him to the room. 350
Come, someone come help. 351
Your preparation is finally complete. After today's therapy, you will be restored. 352
My disciple. Let me ask you again. 353
Are you prepared to help your teacher with the treatment? 354
To be able to be a small service to you, Teacher, your disciple is happy to die. 355
Indeed, you do not disappoint my great aspirations of you. 356
Xin. 357
Old Master. 358
Miss Lin. 359
Old Master. 360
Frost bone poison is lethal in how it chills the heart pulse. 361
Xi'er and I used needles just now to control the poison from spreading. 362
If it is stable, then that is good. 363
What materials do you need to prescribe medication? I can get them right away. 364
I am really sorry. 365
Second Young Master has been poisoned for three days already and the poison is materialized. 366
There is no cure. 367
No cure? 368
