[Nirvana in Fire 2: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin]
[Episode 18]
You didn't sleep well last night because you were worried about Pingjing.
When I leave, go inside and rest for a while.
Once I have sent Father to the palace, I still have to visit Tuo Bayu at the medicine hall to speak with him
it would be the afternoon before I return
Didn't you say, no matter what the truth is,
No one really took it to heart.
Why must you still go to speak with someone from Northern Yan?
There are people who care.
But at the same time, there are people who don't care.
Reasons are the same throughout the world. I believe that at this time,
In Northern Yan, there will still be people
who would want the truth regardless of everything else
Ji Feng Medical Hall
Is there anyone?
Is anyone left alive? We're doctors from Ji Feng Hall
Is there anyone alive?
Is there anyone?!
We're doctors from Ji Feng Hall
Is there anyone?
Senior Grand Secretary, I really don't know how we must handle this matter.
We can only wait for His Majesty's wise decision.
Elder Prince.
Ministers.
Elder Prince.
Why hasn't the heir of Chang Lin come today?
Why did he not come?
Sir, I do not think this is a good idea
At most, only for two hours, I will return him to you
But...we are from Chang Lin Manor in the capital
Are you scared we will escape?
Heir of Chang Lin, look at what you are saying.
-Brother. -Go out with me for a while.
Where?
Elder Prince.
I said earlier that the death of Prince Hui was not accidental.
Princess Chonghua used the opportunity of having a duel
to assassinate him.
What basis do you have for that?
My son is the defendant of this case.
I believe his insight and assessment.
Your Majesty, it is not that I want to argue with Elder Prince. I think that
it is exactly because Second Young Master of Chang Lin is the other party in the duel,
that is why his words cannot serve as evidence.
A prince sent by Northern Yan to negotiate for peace died in our imperial court.
In the past, it would have become a troublesome matter that is hard to resolve.
thankfully, their kingdom is in turmoil
and Your Majesty has intentions to protect him.
The court has made a lot of concessions on behalf of the Second Prince of Chang Lin
to smooth things over
since we already have a resolution
then why does Elder Prince not follow
but instead is making things worse?
Hanhai Tuo Ba technique uses a sword, does it not?
Prince Tuo Ba, look carefully
Whether you want to believe it or not
This is the real truth
Your Majesty
Yesterday, I had a detailed discussion with Pingzhang about this matter.
In the present Northern Yan kingdom, not only is the power of the rebel army very strong,
their imperial court is also separated into 2 parties.
The death of Prince Hui
should naturally incite a huge uproar in their imperial court.
But if we concede and compensate now,
may smooth things over in the short term
but in accepting blame
will give Northern Yan an advantage
to stabilize their government situation.
But Elder Prince, Princess Zhonghua will not admit this
Just because we will write in our state letter that we are passing all the blame to her,
would the King of Northern Yan accept such a conclusion?
Correct, at that time, in Northern Yan, there will be people who will believe
and people who do not believe, and both parties will be at odds
Princess Zhonghua is a noble lady of Northern Yan
to say she assassinated Prince Hui
will it not seem farfetched?
How would Elder Prince know
that there will be some in Northern Yan's court who would believe?
because it is the truth.
Pingjing said she murdered him
then it is really the case
Your Majesty... No need to say more
I already have my decision
Elder Prince, please remain, everyone else take leave
We, subjects, take leave
Our House of Chang Lin has never been afraid to fight, but also are not thirsty for fights.
My little brother was unwilling to bear the responsibility for the crime not because he was passing the blame
He just does not want the truth to get muddled and let other people benefit from this.
I remember that Imperial Highness Prince Hui once said that
the stability of the borders and the citizens living a prosperous and contented life
is the foundation that he wants his country to be built on.
Now that he is gone,
do not know if there will still be anyone willing to fulfill
such a grand ambition for him.
Are you able to be certain
that Zhonghua did this with intention?
Yes
Will your country's records
accuse her too?
Yes
But your king might not believe, so I do not know.
No matter what others do, I, Hanhai Tuo Bashi
will not let Prince Hui's death go in vain
I understand Pingzhang's meaning
With Prince Hui's assassination, his enemy has won in his kingdom
No matter if I take the hard or soft approach
these people have no intention of carrying on the negotiations
and if that is the case, why should we first relent?
The country's records can be adjusted as you have suggested, my Royal Brother
but the rest, I am not willing
Your Majesty, your subject has not even made the request
Royal Brother,
how you think, what you want to do, I have already guessed
I have already guessed
but do you not consider your age?
When you returned from Ganzhou the last time
I will never let you go to battle again
The situation in the northern borders have changed. I am going there this time
just to reorganize the military formations. There is no risk at all.
Do not worry, your Majesty, this is just for precaution
In a short time, it is unlikely Northern Yan will retaliate
since it is only to increase our military numbers for precaution
can Pingzheng not go just the same?
The route for the provisions are currently being rebuilt.
This child is way more meticulous than me
and he is very good in making decisions based on the situation.
it is better he remains in the capital to take care of matters
Moreover, as your Majesty said
I am no longer young
apart from finally entering my grave, this would be my last battlefield
Please grant me permission, your Majesty
Yes
Minister Xun
High Priest is so urgently in need for news?
I am curious, what has his Majesty
given as conditions to Northern Yan
Elder Prince objected to the concession
He has insisted that Northern Yan's princess assassinated Prince Hui
He asked his Majesty to take a strong stance
Minister Xun
did not try to argue?
I did argue a little
but I do understand
Chang Lin Elder Prince is correct
With Prince Hui's death, the political situation in Northern Yan has changed
we cannot use the same approach of peaceful negotiations
Regarding the confidence of sizing the situation in the northern borders,
I fear that no one can be more accurate than the two of them.
Crown Prince is only eleven years old
We indeed should give this matter further thought.
Since time immemorial, wanting to topple a military family in a lightning strike manner,
in the absence of support from the emperor, is a very hard matter to do.
moreover His Majesty has affection and trust in Chang Lin Manor
looks like you and I must be patient
what's the matter?
Elder Prince has military power
If we are trying to balance their power because of the long term plan of Crown Prince's eventual succession,
that is not wrong
But, High Priest
the defending army in the borders concerns the peace and safety of the kingdom.
When did I ever say that I want them eliminated?
I only speak of preparing for the worst
Minister Xun knows very clearly that
the fights in the imperial court will never be gentle and mild forever.
who knows, what day, what words said by whomever
or a weak link
will lead to irreconcilable blood baths where no one can escape?
Forgive me for being rude.
if MInister Xun does not prepare for the worst
no courage to plan for the future,
then everything that you have done against the House of Chang Lin
is merely to make mischief in the Eastern Palace
why not, just stop now?
I take my leave
Sir, Eastern Palace has just sent a message that Second Prince is no longer under arrest
I was about to send someone with the news
but I was too late, and you've wasted a trip
You are very courteous, thank you.
Pingjing
although his Majesty has removed the order
there will still be some resentment towards you in court
when Father and I are not in the capital
would you prefer to stay in the capital or return to Langya Court?
why aren't you and Father in the capital?
where are you both going?
Royal Father... Save your breath
these arrangements are for the best
Think about it
The capital, his Majesty and Pingjing
you will encounter more problems than I would at the border
if it were someone else, I would worry
Enough. Let us just go.
Pingjing
You are in the clear, and the matter with Prince Hui is resolved
why do you still look in low spirits?
Father is already old.
But just to deal with this sudden crisis,
he must go to the northern borders in a few days.
After the battle at Ganzhou and its southern parts last time,
His Majesty instructed the Ministry of War to rebuild the route of provisions.
Older brother must travel far too
to inspect its progress.
Linxi
if that day at court, I did not take things so lightly and carelessly
this situation would be entirely different
Royal Father and Elder Brother
would not have to suffer
They have left
then what about you?
Will you return to Langya Mountain?
No
I will remain in the capital
Why?
Did you not say that Jinling City was too constrained for you?
Perhaps there have been too many things that happened recently
I remembered Elder Brother's words
However I wish to be a carefree person in the pugilist world
I am not
Yes
You are not.
Young Prince, why did you go out of the manor alone and did not even inform me.
You did not even bring anyone with you. How can that be allowed?
Look, the fortunes of people are just like that.
No one really knows what will happen next to oneself.
Young Prince, let us just get back to the manor.
Look, the rain is already falling. Make sure not to catch a cold.
Okay.
Let us go back.
Uncle Tai, our house suffered a great change.
The people around, more or less, changed too.
Only you are the same as before.
Young Prince, how can others compare to me?
Moreover, I saw you grow up.
Let us go.
Leave now.
Husband did not eat much of your dinner today.
Are you not feeling well?
I am a bit regretful already.
Regretful of what?
Since I allied with Puyang Ying,
I am getting more and more anxious.
This man is totally a crazy person that does not care about the consequences.
No matter what he says,
I kept feeling that the ending that he really wants
is different from what I want.
Since husband already said it as such,
then just associating with him from now on.
But Her Lady Majesty is completely dependent on him, right now.
I fear that it will hard to convince her to change her mind.
Master, after verifying the information we got from the Ministry of War, Elder Prince of Chang Lin and his heir
have already obtained permission from His Majesty to leave the capital after 3 days.
Based on usual practice, His Majesty is going to Wei Mountain to fast.
All the big shots are also leaving. We then will be more relaxed.
But the Heir of Chang Lin will just be supervising the route for the provisions.
He will already be returning not long after His Majesty has left.
When he returns
it will be in time to see this trouble
Master is blessed with abundant good fortunes. Your wish will surely come true.
Do you know Xiao Pingjing's whereabouts?
I am not clear on this. His whereabouts are hard to track.
It is also difficult to spy on Chang Lin Manor
Things will be clear after a few days
You are worried about Royal Father? You do not want him to go to the border?
In this country, which son
is willing to see his old father go to a cold and harsh place like the northern borders?
Why not try to persuade him to stay?
Royal Father said this is his last time. When he returns
he will retire in the capital. His Majesty has agreed.
What else can I do?
It is peaceful, there is no conflict there.
Royal Father 's going is just for precaution
He will return very soon

Disciple
Master
Your curiosity is getting stronger
Does my disciple know what this is?
I know. Master has injuries in your bone marrow.
To cure it, this is the only effective medicine.
The flowers of frost initially are colorless. They are just dyed by the night sky.
The darkness and coldness are in the bone. You can call it a miracle medicine.
It can also become a lethal poison.
Lethal poison?
This poison is called Frost Bone.
It was created by the ancestors of our Yeqin state. Too bad, it didn't get passed on into the world.
It is only found in the palace records.
Although I am not versed in medicine,
I was able to obtain this book.
It is really my great fortune.
If it is a poison, how can it heal?
I will reveal to you slowly
Royal Father, your horse is ready
You..
A letter in white envelope.
Is this a letter about someone's death?
I received news that Nanjing's Prince Mu
he died last month
Apart from Langya Mountain
On this earth, I met him and
still remember him
Now they are no longer present
Royal Father
Royal Father, Elder Brother
I have already spoken to his Majesty
This trip to the border is not for battle
no need for a pompous send off
You and Xue Er do not need to accompany us any further
Let's say our goodbyes here
Yes
When your elder brother and I are not here, Chang Lin Manor
and especially your sister-in-law, will be your responsiblity.
I will send Royal Father on his journey
then make two stops and return in about a month
All the matters in the residence and Pingjing
are now hard work for you.
Don't worry, I will keep an eye on him so he does not get into trouble.
Prince Hui's matter is still an issue at court
I would like you to remain in the residence
calm down and reflect on things
Yes, Royal Father
Take good care of your health. Come back soon
Let's go
Teacher, Xiao Pingjing did not leave
He staying in the capital is exactly what I want.
Young Prince
Uncle Tai
do you remember this?
Of course I remember
This is when Young Prince was ten years old and went to watch jade carvers
to learn and picked out this piece
and brought it back to the manor as a gift for your mother
I was young then
I could not recognise what was good jade
The workmanship is rough but for so many years, Mother
always wore it and kept it with her
The manor does not have her tablet
is hard on you, young Prince
But it is good you still have this keepsake
to keep as a memory
The possessions of Laiyang Manor has been completely confiscated by the Jin Guards.
All the traces regarding mother have been erased.
Good thing this bracelet was crudely made so it did not attract their attention.
no one realised this was something she carried
I was able to keep this
Please eat, Young Master
I will go out, you do not have to come with me
please take this away
Young Prince, Jinling Capital has a lot of unrest
if you're not careful, you will be treated badly, why not remain in the residence?
The undercurrent here in the capital will soon be flipping out into the open.
The time is just right.
Receiving a little scorn, I will not take it to heart
Young Prince...
It will be great if after taking this medicine, my cold will already get better.
Ji Feng Medical Hall
Doctor, could you please...
- Doctor Du. - Okay let me show you this last...
Okay, thank you doctor.
Miss
Something strange has occurred
Someone has been collecting large amounts of Baiyin herbs in the capital and neighbouring towns
Collecting a large amount?
Baiyin herbs is not frequently used
why?
It doesn't make sense. That's why I thought it was strange.
it's ready
It's almost time. Please go get him.
Thank you
Let's go
What is this doing?
His illness was different from expected.
It manifested too quickly, and is not infectious enough
We must use a suitable medicine to restrain it.
Everything is prepared in the capital
how much longer do you need?
In a few days, we can already extract blood.
