[Nirvana in Fire 2: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin] 3
[Episode 41] 4
General Di going to Donghu this time to take office will surely have all things going your way 5
and not disappoint His Majesty. 6
Thank you, Sir, in coming to send me off. 7
Please relay to Senior Grand Secretary that I will forever remember and be grateful to his support in my promotion. 8
Brother Xun, do you plan to directly return to the capital after going down the mountain? 9
I already missed Anru's wedding, so there's no need to rush anymore. 10
I have an agreement with Master Ji of Hongshan Sect last year. 11
I plan to visit him first and then return to the capital. 12
It's enough that I'm able to return before new year. 13
You have been away for a long time for this journey of yours. 14
It is indeed time to spend new year at home. 15
What did Imperial Son say? 16
Next month, the Prince of Chang Lin will be changing attire and going out of mourning. 17
I feel that I should send someone to ask. 18
Does Imperial Mother want to prepare any gifts? 19
How is there still any Prince of Chang Lin now? 20
General of Huaihua got stripped off his military duties because of his crimes. The northern border army's banner was changed. 21
But the prince title of the House of Chang Lin was conferred by the imperial clan. 22
That was not touched, right? 23
Also, a son inheriting his father's title is a rule. 24
Does Imperial Mother not understand which Prince of Chang Lin I am referring to right now? 25
What Your Majesty said is right. 26
I will inform the Ministry of Rites now 27
to act according to the regulations. 28
I initially thought 29
that I will never hear the words 'Chang Lin' again. 30
The House of Chang Lin has long left the political stage. 31
His Majesty is just doing these for old time's sake 32
and treating them with respect. Just let him be. 33
Your Lady Majesty, do not worry. 34
Chang Lin surely do not have any intentions to revolt. 35
Disbanding the Chang Lin Army before 36
was just to protect against a subject growing stronger than his master. 37
There was really no intentions to target Xiao Pingjing. 38
I seemed to have only seen you wear the double-headed phoenix hair pin 39
gifted by Her Majesty Empress Dowager once. 40
Do you not want that style? 41
I am not really going out to see any guest or go to any big event, 42
why must I wear such heavy item? 43
That is right too. 44
You are a Lady from the House of Xun. 45
How would a mealy two-headed phoenix hair pin catch your attention? 46
You should not say it that way too. 47
If I needed to wear it, I would wear it. 48
It is just that in ordinary days, I am quite lazy to do it. 49
About that, 50
I remembered a rumor that I once heard. 51
What rumor? 52
I heard that when the eldest Lady of the House of Xun was a month old, 53
there were a lot of fortune tellers who went to your manor to look at you. 54
All said that you have a noble character 55
and will surely be an imperial consort in the future. 56
No such thing. Those are just made up rumors. 57
I am just casually chatting with you. Why are you being serious? 58
Moreover, if not because your family background, character, and beauty is all outstanding, 59
how can there be such rumors? 60
You should just laugh at these layman rumors. No need to treat them seriously. 61
No matter what rumors husband heard before, 62
what are your thoughts now? 63
I really have never thought of 64
entering the palace and becoming some imperial consort. 65
I understand what you mean. 66
It will be the twelfth month of the year soon. 67
The Ministry of Rites said that the officials and soldiers coming to the capital to receive their rewards will be arriving soon. 68
Yes. 69
The soldiers have achieved merits and indeed should be rewarded. 70
But... 71
I understand what Your Majesty is worried about. 72
The three territories that Northern Donghai took, although are quite remotely far, 73
they are still our Great Liang's territories. 74
We cannot forget about them just because the situation has now slight stabilized. 75
You are the top meritorious subject of the battle with Donghai. 76
That is why, I called you today to ask you 77
how long must we wait before we reclaim them? 78
What Minister Xun explained to Your Majesty were indeed the matters that we should urgently do for now. 79
Although Donghai is smaller and weaker than us, they are good in water battles. 80
The three territories that they took are separated by the natural border Huaishui (Huai Waters) and is floating outside. 81
The topography is a bit different. It is not a battle that we can be victorious just by doing all means of 82
pressuring them by their borders. 83
What you mean then is... 84
Actually, the battles in the front lines of the eastern borders have never stopped. 85
May Your Majesty believe that the warriors at the eastern borders will not stop summoning up their courage and energy 86
to reclaim the territories for the government. 87
If the imperial court cannot come up with any good strategy, 88
should we invite Prince of Chang Lin to come and help us in planning? 89
Although Prince of Chang Lin is valiant and experienced in battles, 90
the northern and eastern borders are still of different topography. 91
Moreover, I fear that he might not be interested in it. 92
Your Majesty, may I ask for your permission 93
to visit Prince of Chang Lin in your behalf? 94
Counting the days, I have not seen Pingjing for 2 years already. 95
Whether in terms of affection or reasons, I should visit him. 96
That is for the best. I have already prepared by gifts. 97
Have to trouble Prince Laiyang then. 98
I am greatly honored. 99
[Inn] 100
After travelling for several days, 101
we finally have a bed today. 102
As long as there is a bed, we must have a good sleep. If we want to enter the capital by the 12th month of the year, 103
we still have to travel fast for several days. Brother Tan. 104
- Go and get something to eat. - Okay. 105
It is all General's fault. 106
You just have to wait for those military reports and dragged it until the last day before leaving the camp. 107
It is going to the capital to receive our rewards and you did not even put any importance to it. 108
And in the end, you were also not able to get those military reports. 109
What are you rushing about? 110
I have calculated the time. We will not miss the day of receiving the rewards. 111
General's merits this time is ranked in front. 112
The Ministry of Rites has already sent a letter saying that His Majesty wants to see you in private. 113
As your assistant generals and bodyguards, we also get to share with your fame and blessings. 114
I do not care if this will boost my face (reputation), for anyway, I already have a huge face. 115
But to be able to come along and stroll around the capital 116
is still not bad. 117
You are so talkative. 118
I am going to sleep. 119
I already told the butler that we are going to tour the Chenxiang Lake on the day after tomorrow. 120
I told him to send some more men and clean up the surroundings. 121
Husband. 122
Husband, you came home early today. 123
Quickly go prepare lunch. 124
- Yes. - No need. 125
I received imperial orders to immediately set out to Langya Court. 126
What matter is that urgent? 127
His Majesty wants me to visit XIao Pingjing. 128
I will go prepare your travel necessities then. 129
No need. He Cheng has already prepared them. 130
We initially agreed to go to Chenxiang Lake together. 131
You have official matters to do and it is also visiting an old friend. 132
I still am able to understand what should be the priority. 133
The scenery in Chenxiang Lake is the best at this time. 134
It will be such a pity if you miss it. 135
How about this, still go to Chenxiang Lake the day after tomorrow. 136
When I get down from Langya Court, I will fetch you in our Chenxiang villa. 137
What do you think? 138
That is the best indeed. 139
It is settled then. 140
I still have some things 141
to instruct the servants. I will get going then. 142
Prince. 143
Looks like my activities here in the capital must be rushed. 144
Prince is going to Langya Court? 145
Chang Lin... 146
The Chang Lin that will not go away. 147
It is fine too. I really want to see this Chang Lin Second Young Master already. 148
Do you still need anything? 149
Madam Qi sent words that she will be arriving soon. 150
Did we not have an agreement with them to not contact us if there are no urgent or important matters? 151
What does Marquis Mozi want now? 152
She said that it is only to extend greetings for the year is about to end. 153
Marquis Mozi will extend greetings to me for no reasons at all? 154
Once she entered the borders, settle her someplace first and let her wait. 155
I will see her once I return. 156
Yes. 157
Take care of the manor these next few days. 158
Let no mishaps happen anymore. 159
Prince, do not worry. 160
General, we privately are saying that everything is good about you 161
except one thing. 162
Which aspect? 163
You like to think too much. 164
In war, of course, all kinds of situation is possible. 165
Other than you, there are no one else who find the battle with Donghai strange. 166
What I am thinking now is not that. 167
What are you thinking about now?! 168
We are the lead generals of the eastern border troops. Our three territories are still in the hands of the enemies. 169
Should we not think about it? 170
No...this, you can think about. 171
But after a great battle, you should let the government take a breather, right? 172
The government surely will not easily give up the three regions east of Huaishuei. 173
Latest will be by next year's autumn, we surely will have another battle with them. 174
Do not even say next year's autumn, 175
I fear that by now, Donghai has already established a strong hold on these regions. 176
Right now, I... 177
[Hundred Herbs Latest Edition] 178
You have the ability to save people and a benevolent heart. 179
You really are stronger than me. 180
You cannot compare it that way. Is it not the most admirable aspect in this world 181
is that everyone is different and everyone has their own talent? 182
Since I was fortunate to be here today, let me be the first reader then. 183
You do not really understand it. At most, you can only comment if the drawings I did are very similar or not. 184
You do not want me to be the first to read it? Then who else can it be? 185
Since Master is far from here, it can only be Old Court Master then. 186
[Prince Laiyang Manor] 187
I forgot to bring my handwarmer. Just forget it. 188
We cannot. We prepared it for you because we were afraid you will get cold. 189
Prince's Consort, pleas wait for a while. I will get in now. 190
Pei'er, I placed it on the table. 191
I got it. 192
Miss Pei'er, we are done moving all the boxes. 193
Prince's Consort forgot her handwarmer. 194
Why must you choose a time to get in? If anyone notices it, we will get in big trouble! 195
Commander He, do not worry. I know this place quite well. 196
Where is Prince? 197
Prince is not someone you can see just because you want to. 198
When we were planning the war at the eastern borders together, this was not the attitude that was given to us. 199
The deputy minister of the Ministry of War, a level 4 government official, 200
betrayed us by leaking military secrets causing the eastern border troops to be defeated and the ten border regions to suffer misery. 201
Too bad...this precious Black Crystal Sword... 202
Did we not agree to not mention about the Donghai battle again? 203
Why did you come? Hurry and say it. 204
King sent me to extend greetings to Prince and to offer another deal. 205
Who is it? 206
Madam, let us go. 207
Pei'er, why are you panicking? 208
I... 209
Where is the item that I told you to get? 210
Get what? 211
Pei'er, what is wrong with you? You have been clumsy lately. 212
You are not like this before. 213
Did something happen? 214
Madam, let us just quickly go. 215
Madam! 216
Madam, you forgot your hand warmer. 217
Thank you, Commander He. 218
Pei'er, are you not going to hurry and thank Commander He? 219
Thank you, Commander He. 220
I dare not. Miss, you are being too courteous. 221
Okay. Let us go. 222
Steamed buns. 223
[Prince Laiyang Manor] 224
Come and look! 225
[Tianmingjing] 226
Lin Xi, you did not mind the hardships and traveled to different nations 227
to gather and successfully complete this medicinal encyclopedia. 228
Verifying its drawing, testing its medicinal effects, correcting errors. 229
In the end, you were able to complete this book. 230
It is really an impressive merit. 231
If this 'Hundred Herbs New Edition' becomes an important books among doctors, 232
your name will also be remembered for ages. 233
Thank you for Old Master's praises. But I do not plan to leave my name on this book. 234
You created this book. Why then do you not want to put your name on it? 235
Old Master knows that in the present era, there are biases against women. 236
If this book has my name on it, there will surely be a lot of crude people that will belittle it. 237
If it does not get passed on or given importance, 238
how can the initial intention of the writer be achieved? 239
What you mean is... 240
I boldly ask Old Master to put the name of Langya Court on it 241
to help the spreading of this book to the world. 242
But that way, will it not be unfair to you? 243
As a healer, I only wish to save people and not ask for undeserved reputation. 244
Lin Xi, have you thought about this? If the works of women cannot be known by the world, 245
how could the prejudice against them change? 246
What you two said are both reasonable. 247
The author will leave her name 248
and this book will also be passed on for generations. 249
Thank you, Old Master. 250
Pingjing! Pingjing! 251
Xiao Daozi, what is it? 252
Replying to Old Master, an envoy from Jinling has come. 253
Why are you being mysterious? Who came? 254
Prince Laiyang Xiao Yuanqi. 255
That I never expected. 256
When did he come? 257
He has already entered the mountain. 258
Okay. I know already. 259
Pingjing. 260
I also never thought that Yuanqi will come. 261
Let us see him together. 262
Miss, we have arrive in Chenxiang Lake. You want to go down and take a look? 263
Let us go to the villa and rest first. I am tired. 264
Okay. 265
Thank you Yuanqi for coming. 266
Is His Majesty doing well? 267
His Majesty is very healthy. Pingjing need not worry. 268
Prince, have a drink. 269
Miss Lin, with you two, 270
I am still Yuanqi. Calling me Prince is making us look as strangers. 271
Before coming up the mountain, I did not know that Miss Lin is also here. 272
Some time ago, I heard that you went to the southwestern regions. 273
I also just arrived not long ago. I wanted to ask Old Master to edit and publish a medicinal book for me. 274
That's why, I stayed for a few days. 275
If not because Lin Xi came up the mountain and told me things, there were a lot of happenings that I would not have known. 276
In several short months, you were able to successive reclaim 7 areas. 277
With such impressive war merits, 278
is it too late for me to congratulate now? 279
Stop mocking me. 280
Guarding the land and giving peace to the citizens is the duty of all Great Liang citizens. 281
Why talk about some impressive war merits?! 282
It is just... 283
Langya Court has always been well-informed. 284
I thought that you would have known about those battles way before. 285
That is my fault then. 286
Look at how idle life is here on the mountain. 287
I actually did not remember to go to the pigeon house and look at those grand world matters flying into there. 288
If you put it that way, I quite envy you. 289
People below the mountain cannot be as idle as you. 290
That is why, 291
I still do not have any plans to go down the mountain. 292
Is His Majesty planning to let me go back? 293
His Majesty has always respected your wish. He will not force you. 294
With the battle at the eastern borders, there are still territories that has not been reclaimed. 295
His Majesty must be worrying about it. 296
That is expected. 297
To tell you the truth, 298
I came today as requested by His Majesty 299
to discuss with you about the three regions of Huaidong. 300
After the battle with Donghai, the cabinet has gathered the different ministers numerous times to discuss it. 301
The generals of the eastern borders have also successively submitted strategies. Regarding the general battle plan for the eastern borders, 302
I'm estimating that it will come out by early next year. His Majesty was also comforted by that. 303
It is just that His Majesty still wants to hear your thoughts. 304
I am worried that... 305
You two just chat. I will take my leave. 306
Lin Xi, 307
you do not need to leave. 308
It is good that you all are discussing to come up with a bold strategy. 309
Since Lin Xi told me about this, I also went to look at several summary reports about the eastern border war. 310
I even wrote some of my thoughts on them. 311
His Majesty surely wants to hear your opinions. 312
If you want to send a letter to Jinling, 313
then, if it is alright with you, I can be the one to bring this letter to His Majesty. 314
I think that General of Huaihua must need a person to deliver the letter back to Jinling. 315
I believe that you also know that I am the best choice for it. 316
They are not really that much to comprise an essay, so why embarrass myself to His Majesty? 317
Moreover, you were able to fully grasp the battle with Donghai. 318
In terms of strategy and experiences, 319
no one can be more reliable than you. 320
Am I right? 321
Saying that I fully grasp it, I dare not admit it. 322
But I indeed was able to take back 7 regions. 323
Hence, I agree that I am more or less experienced for it. 324
Then I'm sure that you already have a strategy to take back the remaining 3 Huaidong regions, right? 325
Taking back the 3 Huaidong regions 326
will happen sooner or later. 327
That's good then. 328
Looks like if I don't ask you, you don't plan to say it anymore. 329
Is your wife doing well? 330
Our wedding was a bit rushed. 331
That is why, it was not convenient to invite you to come at that time. 332
But being unable to inform you beforehand is indeed my negligence. 333
Hope Pingjing will not be mad at me for it. 334
Let me inform you something beforehand too, so you will not be mad at me in the future. 335
After all, after this year, my mourning period will end. 336
Did you not say that you do not want to... 337
Could it be that you and Miss Lin, you two... 338
That is right. 339
By spring, when Old Hall Master comes up here, 340
we plan to get married. 341
Really? 342
That is great! 343
You two have been separating and reuniting for so many years. 344
You two are finally getting married. 345
After leaving the government, after the Chang Lin Banner was removed, 346
only then did I realize that the life I have always wanted is like this. 347
Yuanqi, I am used to living away from politics and military matters. 348
Days like this is what is most suitable for me. 349
Hope you can relay it to His Majesty and I hope that he can understand. 350
Pingjing, are you not reconsidering it? 351
Yuanqi, the life here in Langya Mountain is really very suitable to me. 352
Although it is completely another world, everything still cannot escape it. 353
While on the mountain, I did not stop doing the matters that I should do. 354
Yuanqi, 355
send my greetings to His Majesty when you get back. 356
You take care too. 357
Take care. 358
Yuanqi! 359
The three regions in the eastern border is now different from before. 360
Do not be careless. 361
I understand. 362
Subtitles and Timing provided by Gone With The Shirt Team at Viki.com 363
Sorry. 364
Prince Laiyang has left? 365
Someone in Jinling does not want you to interfere in the Donghai matter. 366
This meaning is very clear to you, right? 367
The past Yuanqi 368
is not like this. 369
Humans change. 370
You are already not the past you. 371
He also can be not the past him. 372
He got forced to come here step by step. 373
He already did all that he can do. 374
With such a vast world, he cannot really bear all of it. 375
Pingjing is an intelligent person. 376
He surely understands all the reasons. 377
It is enough that his heart is magnanimous and his conscience is clear. 378
How come he still cannot put it down? 379
Although Pingjing's natural temperament is being carefree and at ease, 380
he is still from a family of generals. 381
There are things that are carved in one's bone. 382
Saying to put them down, 383
is not an easy thing. 384
Maybe because I am a cold person, 385
I am sorry but I cannot understand 386
what you are saying. 387
You are not cold. 388
Your heart just do not have any miscellaneous worries. 389
You see things clearer than us. 390
The weather is already so cold and you still open the windows? 391
Is it not you are even dizzy this morning? 392
Are you still dizzy? 393
Min'er, 394
let me ask you a question. 395
Ask away. 396
If you knew something that no one will believe if you say it, 397
and you might even lose your life because of it, 398
will you still say it? 399
No one will believe it and you might even lose your life for it, only a stupid person will talk. 400
Okay already. Do not overthink. Quickly go to sleep. 401
I found a few more books. Look at them. 402
Lin Xi, 403
why are you not asking me what my purpose is for finding these? 404
Do I still need to ask? 405
Local chronicles, annals of mountains and rivers, 406
maps of geomantic omens, and even travel notes. 407
As long as it is related with the three regions of Huaidong, you asked for it. 408
You want to know the real reason why Marquis Mozi and Donghai incited this war, right? 409
And one more thing. 410
You are suspecting Xiao Yuanqi? 411
Before, I just felt strongly that there is something fishy with the war with Donghai. 412
I never dared to think anything wrong with Xiao Yuanqi. 413
But he coming up the mountain this time... 414
Under the situation of him so successfully reclaiming the 7 regions of the eastern border, 415
how come he has to stop at Huaishui? 416
There must be something wrong in here. 417
May Prince's Consort forgive me. 418
Why are you this careless? 419
Pei'er, you entered the Xun manor when you were 12. 420
You were always by my side since. 421
What problem do you have that you cannot even tell me? 422
Prince's Consort, sorry. 423
Pei'er is indeed a bit clumsy lately. 424
She indeed should be punished. 425
It is just that because Donghai attacked our lands, 426
her brother's whole family died. 427
It might take some time before her emotions can placate. 428
Hope Prince's Consort can consider how Pei'er used to serve you whole-heartedly and spare her this time. 429
Pei'er, I am asking you today 430
not because I am mad or I want to punish you. 431
I just find it weird. 432
When the bad news arrived last year, 433
although you were a big distressed, you were able to control it. 434
It is unreasonable that when this matter has passed for such a long time, you started to become like this. 435
You are not only sad and grieving. 436
You are very afraid. 437
What really are you afraid of? 438
Must you really ask? 439
You are now living in the House of Prince Laiyang but still became this afraid. 440
Of course, I must ask. 441
But if I honestly say it, 442
I fear that you might not believe me. 443
If I am your Lady, 444
why would I not believe it? 445
I can only tell this matter to Lady. 446
Even Min'er cannot listen? 447
I do not know what the consequences are after I said it. 448
It is better for Min'er to not listen. 449
