]Nirvana in Fire 2: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin] 3
[Episode 11] 4
These past few months, 5
I always took care of my younger sister. 6
Imperial Consort Li tried to harm her numerous times, but was blocked by me. 7
I didn't think that... 8
I didn't think that she would do this to me. 9
To be honest, 10
I also don't think that glue from Donghai would work. 11
I am also not interested. 12
Maybe because I have been here in the Inner Palace for quite a long time. 13
I don't find anything strange anymore. 14
But... if the Emperor hears about it, what will he think about it? 15
That I wouldn't know. 16
I fear that you can only end up like your husband. 17
Unless... 18
Your Highness. Your Highness. 19
Be careful. 20
[Cursed doll, dressed as the Emperor] 21
Grand Madam, the Young Prince is here. 22
Mother. 23
Mother? 24
Mother? 25
Mother. 26
Why are you here right now? 27
You're not going out with your friends today? 28
I heard from Xiao Yan that you are feeling unwell. 29
I was worried, so I especially came to check on you. 30
It's nothing. 31
I just have nightmares once in a while. 32
What's wrong? 33
Did you hear something? 34
It's probably just a wild cat. 35
- You may all leave now. - Yes. 36
Mother, 37
I have always wanted to ask His Majesty for a few tasks 38
to go out and train myself. 39
I am just afraid that since your health is unwell, I dare not go far. 40
You want to go out to do a few tasks? 41
Silly child. 42
How can there be any good tasks for you to do? 43
You know that... 44
I know that 45
our Laiyang manor lost the favor of the previous Emperor. 46
Other people do not care about us. 47
Who told you that? 48
Who needs to tell me that? 49
As an Imperial Prince, Father died without being given any other title 50
and was never buried in the Imperial Family tomb. 51
Just thinking about it, one would know that he must have committed a very grave mistake; 52
therefore, he was alienated from the previous Emperor 53
and died early. 54
Mother, His Majesty granted me this Level 2 Marquis title 55
and has never been unkind in providing for our needs and respects us. 56
Actually... Actually, that's already really generous of him. 57
Right, Mother? 58
Talking about this is actually a little early. 59
You don't need to worry about this. 60
Recently, the capital hasn't been safe. 61
The capital isn't safe? 62
What are you trying to say? 63
It has to do with Donghai. 64
You will know, sooner or later. 65
Marquis Mozi has already killed six people. 66
I, Puyang Ying, have been waiting a long time for you, Marquis. 67
Was it you... who sent that letter? 68
Indeed. Being able to meet the top fighter in the world, 69
I really feel very fortunate. 70
What is your connection to this matter? 71
Only after seven years, you remembered to send a letter. Why did you do that? 72
What my connection is to this matter is not important. 73
What is important, is I can help the Marquis 74
find the real mastermind behind the death of Imperial Consort Shu. 75
You think that if you tell me who the real murderer is, 76
I won't kill you. 77
You won't. 78
Because the Marquis and I will be doing a very good trade-off together. 79
That will depend on whether the trade is good enough to save your life. 80
Older Brother. 81
Pingjing. 82
I already talked to Older Brother Xun. 83
He went to make preparations first and then we will do the interrogation together. 84
Did you eat? 85
I randomly ate. 86
There isn't any more progress with the vermilion glue. 87
You probably also don't feel well. 88
Her Majesty, the Empress, actually was able to find the craftsman who made this box. 89
Should I go interrogate him? 90
He died seven years ago. 91
This box was the last thing he created. 92
How can it be so coincidental? There must be something wrong. 93
But after the box was completed, the Inner Palace officers usually make three levels of checking. 94
Once it is delivered to Zhengyang Palace, (Residence of the Empress) 95
the court lady of the front hall and the head serving maid would also check it again. 96
Even if the glue was finely-placed in this box, 97
it is still impossible that despite checking it three or four times, they weren't able to notice anything. 98
Yes. 99
With these repeated checks, it is impossible that all of the checkers themselves were involved. 100
Involving that many people, wouldn't they be afraid that something would be found out? 101
If the problem occurred 102
when this item was already in Zhengyang Palace, 103
then... 104
Then it has nothing to do with the craftsman. 105
So why did he die? 106
A small craftsman that was strictly kept several security levels away from Zhengyang Palace. 107
What did he do? 108
What can he do? 109
Maybe... 110
Pingjing is here? 111
Your younger sister was married off to a foreign state and alone in the Inner Palace. Not only did she not get any protection, 112
in the end, it was one deceased, two lives. A case that was hard to find justice for. A miserable ending. 113
The perpetrator indeed must be punished. But I think 114
that the Imperial Family surely is connected with this matter. 115
What do you really mean? 116
I have devised a shrewd plan for you. 117
It can both provide revenge for your younger sister 118
and realize your grand ambition. 119
Although the Marquis came this time to solve the puzzle of Imperial Consort Shu's death, 120
isn't there something else hiding in your heart 121
such as the grand ambition of making your Donghai kingdom flourish? 122
Subtitles and Timing provided by Gone With The Shirt Team at Viki.com 123
In your state now, the different Ministers are serving different masters. The hearts of the people are unsteady. 124
The Marquis may live far away from the secular world, but your heart surely is discontented. 125
The Baishen, I believe, is telling me 126
that the way to change all of these things 127
and the important responsibility of bearing the Imperial throne lies all with you. 128
I predict that within three years, you will become the King of Donghai. 129
And within ten years, the King of Donghai 130
surely will rule the world! 131
Now that I've revealed things to this extent, the Marquis shouldn't continue to hide this ambition. 132
Then what is it that I should do now? 133
You first have to get revenge for Imperial Consort Shu. 134
And then, bury your seed of Donghai here in Great Liang. 135
Bury a seed of Donghai here in Great Liang? 136
Exactly. 137
What kind of person are you? 138
Someone who can help you achieve your goals. 139
Look, Miss Lin Xi gave me these. 140
She said that if I take one piece every morning and evening, 141
I will not need to drink medicinal soups anymore. 142
Miss Lin finally became merciful and gave some heart-easing words. 143
- Looks like there is some progress. - Yes. 144
Let me see. 145
Were you not given an important task? 146
How come you came here to your brother to laze around? 147
When I was working, 148
you were still sleeping. 149
Put it carefully over there. 150
Yes. 151
Over there. Slowly. 152
Dong Qing, open the window to let in some fresh air. 153
Yes. 154
How come it is Dong Qing who manages older brother's quarters now? Where is Butler Zhou? 155
Your older brother said that Butler Zhou is quite old. He shouldn't tire himself too much. 156
He already has much to do at Royal Father's quarters. 157
We will have Dong Qing taking care of here. 158
Older Brother has always been considerate and thorough. 159
That's true, isn't it? When my serving maids reach the proper age, 160
it is your older brother who arranges for them to leave the manor. 161
I am such a thoughtless person. Whether in matters inside or outside the manor, I cannot be of any help to you. 162
That is indeed correct. 163
How many noble women here in the capital are gentle and good at taking care of people? 164
When they manage household matters, they really can handle everything. 165
Can handle everything, is that it? Then who told you to like a person like me? 166
Oh, right. Talking about it, 167
I already have no way to regret it now. 168
Hey! 169
Aiya, you two! I'm still in here. 170
Then I will leave first. 171
How can you act like that to me in front of Pingjing? 172
I know you. 173
I also know your position in Great Liang. 174
Are you not interested in my plan? 175
I just don't understand 176
how helping me is going to benefit you. 177
Of course, I have my own reasons. The Marquis just needs to understand 178
that my intentions and your goals will not be contradictory. That's all you need to know. 179
Talking about it, I still need to ask for your help. 180
Does the Marquis know of Chang Lin Manor? 181
Isn't that question unnecessary? 182
Then the current status of Chang Lin Manor in Great Liang, do you also know that quite well? 183
Prince of Chang Lin is valiant, brave, and fierce. 184
Chang Lin Manor naturally garners achievements that may overshadow its master's. 185
Chang Lin Manor now does not only have numerous grand achievements, 186
but the title, "Prince of Chang Lin," was conferred by the previous Emperor. 187
His Majesty is always favoring and rewarding their family. 188
His Majesty also has a very good relationship with the Old Prince of Chang Lin. 189
Recently, he mostly adopts the suggestions of the Old Prince of Chang Lin as being his. 190
And Old Prince is already old. 191
The real backbone of Chang Lin Manor is Xiao Pingzhang. 192
After saying so much, the Marquis is a very intelligent person. 193
I am sure that you already know the meaning of my words. 194
Xiao Pingzhang? 195
A measly heir of Chang Lin 196
is not even worth mentioning. 197
It is not hard to kill Xiao Pingzhang, but there is another person by his side. 198
The Heir's Consort, Meng Qianxue? What a joke. 199
Even if she is the granddaughter of Meng Zhi, so what? 200
Even the favored disciple of Meng Zhi, Xun Feizhan, 201
I don't attach much importance to him either. 202
But there is another person. 203
The Second Young Master of Chang Lin, Xiao PIngjing. 204
Xiao Pingjing? 205
Although he is still very young, his martial arts skills are superb. 206
If he joins forces with Meng Qianxue, 207
I fear, it would be difficult even for a fighter of the Marquis' caliber to escape from them. 208
I'd kind of like to really see this Manor of Chang Lin. 209
Your Majesty. Your Majesty! 210
I am fine. 211
The Imperial physician said that it is just a simple cold. 212
I never had any fever so it is not that serious. 213
Empress, it is already late. Go back and rest now. 214
It is fine to just leave them here to serve me. 215
Your Majesty's health is not good. How can I sleep at ease? 216
Enough. 217
I know that you're concerned. 218
Go now. 219
Go now. 220
Yes. 221
[Manor of Chang Lin] 222
From whom did you learn this? 223
Miss Lin already did several acupuncture sessions with you. 224
How do you feel? 225
I also do not know how to say it. 226
But honestly, 227
I also did not feel anything wrong with me before this. 228
Since you are unable to feel it, then just observe the facial expression of Miss Lin. 229
If there is any improvement, her face will surely look better. 230
But you do not know that 231
Miss Lin never even moves her eyebrows at all throughout. 232
It's got me to thinking. How was a young lady like her able to train herself to such a level? 233
What's wrong? 234
Who is there? You dare to sneak into the Manor of Chang Lin! 235
Stop! 236
Second Young Master! 237
- Dong Qing! - Here! 238
- Increase the security outside the manor. - Yes! 239
- Come with me! - Yes! 240
Sleep now. I'll stand guard tonight. 241
All right, it's enough. 242
The security patrol of the Manor of Chang Lin is stronger than I thought. 243
Although I was able to enter the eastern courtyard, I was still unable to get anywhere near Xiao Pingzhang. 244
That, I did not expect. 245
The Marquis is the top fighter of Jianghu. 246
Your trying to check on the security around the Heir of Chang Lin like this... 247
is it because you hold some grudge against him? 248
It is not important what grudge I have with him. 249
If you want to destroy Great Liang and fulfill your grand ambition, 250
you must first eliminate the House of Chang Lin. 251
And right now, I have also helped the Marquis look for a person 252
that will assist you in eliminating the House of Chang Lin. 253
Pingjing. 254
Older Brother Xun. 255
I heard that Marquis Mozi trespassed into Chang Lin Manor last night. 256
Are your Older Brother and Sister-in-law all right? 257
The order of concern does not seem right. 258
How come you are asking about my older brother first? 259
I know that Old Prince will be all right. 260
The good thing is they're fine. He was discovered before he got near my older brother's sleeping chambers. 261
Afterward, he immediately escaped. 262
The case of Imperial Consort Shu has nothing to do with Chang Lin Manor. 263
Why then did he sneak into Chang Lin Manor? 264
Could it be he's planning to test his skills on Chang Lin Manor first before attempting to trespass into the Imperial Palace? 265
He is even thinking of trespassing into the Imperial Palace? 266
I was just randomly guessing. 267
Let us go. Let us do the interrogation first. 268
Greetings to Your Majesty. 269
His Majesty's illness is still not fully cured. Why is Your Majesty not taking care of him in Yangju Palace? 270
Marquis Mozi is moving around Jinling City. 271
It is as if the ghost of Imperial Consort Shu 272
is constantly circling around in front of His Majesty. 273
I do not need him to say a word and I already know 274
that he does not want to see me. 275
I entered the palace this time to tell Your Majesty to be at ease. 276
Although I still do not know the details, I will be able to understand it all in a few days. 277
I'll have a real understanding. 278
Drink it. 279
Here. 280
Since I was little, I have been sickly. Every time I take my medicine, 281
you have that expression. 282
We had agreed to let go and just let the children handle things, but Your Majesty 283
was still not at ease to do so. 284
You are falsely accusing me. 285
The Imperial physician already said that this is but a cold and not due to excessive overthinking. 286
The Imperial physician also said that what he worries about the most is you having a fever by tonight. 287
Your Majesty, just rest well. 288
Who cares about that top fighter or any second-placed fighter outside? 289
In this palace today, I will personally care for you the whole night. 290
Good. 291
The female doctor in Imperial Consort Shu's palace said in the three months before she gave birth, 292
she had been by her side and had never left her from day to night. 293
Oh, yes. Several times Imperial Consort Shu had private talks with Grand Madam Laiyang. 294
Then what about the testimony of Grand Madam Laiyang? 295
Did no one ever go to ask her? 296
She and Imperial Consort Shu are from the same homeland. 297
Not only were they very close, she would not benefit by harming her. 298
Rationally speaking, she should not be suspected at all. 299
No need to interrogate her anymore, right? 300
This is the list of people who entered and exited the palace of Imperial Consort Shu three months before her demise. 301
Look at it first and then tell me what strange things you notice. 302
After you read that, read this, too. 303
[Madam Laiyang] 304
[Guest list of those present at the Chang Lin Heir's Wedding] 305
Older Brother still plans to find the mastermind behind the harming of Sister-in-law? 306
Of course, I must find out. 307
Looking back on these two matters, 308
they might actually be just one. 309
Be just one? 310
What one or two matters? 311
We were talking about the case of Imperial Consort Shu's death. 312
- Sister-in-law, I'm hungry. - The food is already cooked. 313
- Prepare to eat now. - Such a rare chance. 314
I have been lusting for them for so many days. If not for Royal Father not being around tonight, 315
I would not dare to ask Sister-in-law to cook. 316
Just tell me if you want to eat. What is there to be scared about? 317
How can I dare? 318
Have you two never heard how Royal Father scolds me? 319
"Since time immemorial, the young should respect their seniors. But you... 320
Not only do you not show filial piety to your father and brother, you even trouble your sister-in-law every day to cook for you. 321
Tell me, what has Langya Court been teaching you?" 322
Just for this matter, he can give me a scolding. 323
Tell me, was I just some child that my father picked up from somewhere? 324
Enough. Let us just hurry and eat. 325
Let us go. 326
Grand Madam Laiyang? 327
A widow that lives outside the palace, she most likely cannot be connected to Imperial Consort Shu's death, right? 328
I did not say that she is surely connected. 329
But since a few of the given testimonies mentioned her, 330
it would also be a bad idea to ask her, right? 331
Just because she was mentioned? 332
Older Brother Xun, it is not that I want to hide this from you, 333
but there are some matters that are very private. 334
It is not proper to tell them to you directly. 335
Grand Madam Laiyang is, after all, a woman that is part of the Imperial Family. 336
My older brother wants us to go there tomorrow, together. 337
Fine. Then we will go question her tomorrow. 338
Here. 339
Eat more. 340
Mother, although I told you that I want to go out and experience new things, 341
I do not really plan to leave just like that. 342
You look like you will never see me again tomorrow. 343
Next month is already your birthday. 344
I remember when you were just born. 345
You were underweight and looked like a little cat. 346
After twenty-plus years, 347
you now look like your father. 348
I am a posthumous child. I did not have the good fortune to see my father. 349
No! 350
You have the best fortune. 351
My son surely has good fortune. 352
I know that you are harboring great ambitions. 353
It is because I insist on locking you inside this small Marquis manor house. 354
In this Imperial city, there is actually no one who is superior to you. 355
You can surely do whatever endeavors you choose successfully! 356
Mother... 357
Good thing you are my mother. 358
Words like, "No one is superior to me," 359
can only dare to be said by you. 360
Hurry and eat. 361

Marquis Mozi came once last night, so he most likely will not come tonight. 363
Moreover, I still have your sister-in-law accompanying me. Why is there a need for you to escort me like this? 364
Older Brother still has not fully recuperated. Being a bit more careful is always better. 365
Older Brother. 366
Xiao Xue, it is too cold here outside. Go in first. 367
I will just give Pingjing some instructions and will immediately come in. 368
Sister-in-law, rest early. 369
Older Brother, 370
you think it can be Grand Madam Laiyang? 371
No matter what, 372
our conclusion now is just an assumption. 373
After all, Royal Father and His Majesty used to be very close to the previous Prince Laiyang. 374
Pingjing, remember. 375
No matter what you find out in your investigation at the Laiyang Manor tomorrow, 376
anything that is related to the Inner Palace 377
must be immediately relayed to His Majesty first and then listen to his decree before your next move. 378
While there is still no hard evidence, you must not act before your master and rashly handle this matter. 379
Understand? 380
I understand. 381
Fourth Brother. 382
Both of you were daughters of the Royal Family (of Donghai). 383
I really hoped that it would not be you. 384
Did Fourth Brother come tonight 385
because you have already concluded that I did it? 386
I and Younger Sister-- 387
You better just save your energy. 388
Since I came here, 389
then it means that I already know the whole truth. 390
What is the use of still speaking useless nonsense? 391
You? 392
It was you! 393
I just helped the Marquis find you... 394
sooner. 395
Do you know that before this moment, 396
it was hard for me to believe 397
that you could actually do such a cruel thing to our younger sister? 398
Am I the only cruel person here? 399
We both were daughters of the Donghai Royal family. 400
She was the most favored consort in the palace and had His Majesty to protect her, (Only 1 wife and the rest were consorts) 401
while I was a widow and an only parent, relying on being solicitous and being submissive to live out my days. 402
What right did she have to teach me a lesson? 403
What right did she have to say that I don't know how to differentiate right from wrong? 404
Fourth Brother thinks that I was cruel to her? 405
Then did she treat me like a true sister? 406
In that Inner Palace, how many people wanted her dead? 407
Do you two know? Just how many people wanted her dead? 408
It was you, a person from the same clan, who killed your own younger sister. 409
If I did not do it, someone else would have done it. 410
She would have died sooner or later. 411
All right, already. 412
Grand Madam was already able explain the grievances in her heart. 413
Since you did it, 414
it is impossible for the Marquis to still leave you alive. 415
Does Grand Madam 416
clearly understand that? 417
Next, we must talk about how to deal with the child. 418
What are you saying? 419
Why? 420
Why must you harm Yuanqi? 421
Fourth Brother... 422
Fourth Brother, he does not know anything! 423
The child is innocent! The child knows nothing of this! 424
Fourth Brother, I beg you. The child does not know anything! 425
- Whether he is innocent or not, - Fourth Brother. 426
I do not care. 427
I just want to know what good will I get by leaving him alive. 428
What are you doing? 429
Look at how Pingjing has affected you. 430
Must you be this nervous? 431
What Pingjing said is right though. It is not wrong to be cautious. 432
I am from the Meng clan. 433
I am most suited to be your personal guard. 434
I thought about it earlier. If Marquis Mozi comes, 435
I'll let Pingjing stand guard and I'll go out to exchange a few moves with him. 436
My granduncle also used to be the top fighter before. 437
Stop looking forward to it! Just go to sleep. 438
I'll dare to make a bet with you. 439
Marquis Mozi will never come here tonight. 440
How do you know? 441
Last night, he immediately left after being discovered. 442
He did not show any intention of fighting. 443
I keep feeling that... 444
he just deliberately came to test something 445
and he had already gotten the result. 446
Oh. 447
What "oh?" 448
Hurry and come over here to bed. 449
I have even prepared your blanket already. 450
I spent a lot of effort before I was able to convince the Marquis 451
to give you an ending such as this. 452
What ending? 453
To spare the Young Prince's life and pardon him. 454
Because in the future, he will be of great use. 455
You people are planning to use Yuanqi? To do what! 456
That is my son! 457
Do not any of you think of using him! 458
He has Donghai blood flowing in his body. 459
He will not be satisfied to just live an ordinary life all his days. The word "use"... 460
is not as scary as Madam thinks. 461
While a person is alive in this world, he must be proven useful 462
so he can be given an opportunity. 463
Isn't that right? 464
