[Nirvana in Fire 2: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin] 3
[Episode 12] 4
The word "use"... 5
is not as scary as Madam thinks. 6
While living in this world, one must first be useful 7
before he can get an opportunity. Am I right? 8
The Young Prince only has this last path left. 9
Or else, he too will have a concealed death. 10
Listen to my words. 11
Pen Young Prince a letter. Write everything that should be said 12
and not one character less. 13
What do you want me to write? 14
The death of Prince Laiyang, 15
the 20 years of grudges you held toward the previous Emperor, His Majesty, and the Prince of Chang Lin. 16
You must write them all very clearly. 17
You cannot let the Young Prince be continuously lied to. 18
He should know the origins of his father's grievance 19
and his mother's hatred. 20
Fourth Brother, I beg you to give me your word. 21
Once I take your life, my revenge for my younger sister can be counted as finished. 22
Afterward... that is an entirely different matter. 23
Your son, logically speaking, should now call me "Uncle." 24
If he really has the intention 25
of serving my Donghai in the future, 26
why worry if our grand ambition will not be successful? 27
[Prince of Chang Lin's Manor] 28
Older Brother Xun, good morning. 29
Pingjing, 30
I will speak the worst of the words first. 31
I came today mainly to accompany you. 32
As for how to interrogate Grand Madam Laiyang, I totally do not know how it will proceed. 33
Thus, I will not be able to help you in regards to that. 34
Let us go. 35
Older Brother Xun. Pingjing. 36
You are rare guests. You two coming here this early, may I ask for what matter? 37
Young Prince probably has heard 38
that Pingjing and I were instructed by His Majesty to investigate an old palace case. 39
There are some details that we need to ask Grand Madam Laiyang for. 40
I hope Young Prince can inform her. 41
- Ask my mother? - Yes. 42
All right. Please enter. 43
- Madam! Madam! - Madam, Madam! 44
- Madam has not answered? - Yes. 45
Has Madam come out this morning? 46
Madam! 47
Young Prince is here. 48
Young Prince. 49
- What is wrong?! - Young Prince, 50
Grand Madam has not arisen yet from her bed this morning. We tried knocking but she hasn't given any reply. 51
We do not know what has happened and were just planning to inform you. 52
Mother. 53
Mother. 54
Mother? 55
[The grudge has been avenged. I shall return to Donghai now. Mozi.] 56
Young Prince. 57
Yuanqi! 58
- Calm yourself! - Young Prince! Young Prince! Calm down! 59
Hurry and call for an Imperial physician! 60
Young Prince... 61
Calm yourself! 62
[The grudge has been avenged. I shall return to Donghai now. Mozi.] 63
Can you confirm that she died at the hands of Marquis Mozi? 64
We are sure. The death note can be forged, 65
but the point of Marquis Mozi's blade cannot. 66
Which also means... 67
he found out that the death of Consort Shu was done by Grand Madam Laiyang? 68
I really do not understand what could be her reason. 69
Feizhan, Pingjing. 70
- Here. - Here. 71
I order you two to personally lead a team 72
to search the entire Laiyang Manor! 73
- I will abide. - I will abide. 74
- Older Brother Xun. - What is it? 75
Just search on my behalf. I want to visit Yuanqi. 76
Urge him to just be at ease and wait for the Emperor's decree. 77
Wait. 78
What are you two doing? 79
Replying to Second Young Master. His Majesty ordered that the corpse of Grand Madam Laiyang 80
must be autopsied in the palace first, before it is to be handled. 81
How is it going to be handled? 82
This... 83
- Go now. - Yes. 84
Yuanqi. Yuanqi. 85
Yuanqi. 86
Are you all right? 87
Pingjing... 88
I do not understand. Everything was all right yesterday. 89
What happened overnight? 90
This case has too many entanglements. 91
I am unable to clearly explain them all right now. 92
The Jin Guards are still in your manor, implementing the Imperial order given to them. 93
If we find anything, we will surely report it truthfully. 94
We will never slander Grand Madam Laiyang. 95
Relax for now. Do not harm your health. 96
Implementing... Implementing an Imperial order? 97
Right. 98
Other... Other than searching and confiscating, what else is there? 99
That will depend on the result of the search. 100
Try not to get anxious. 101
Pingjing, even if Mother made a grave mistake, 102
she is already dead. 103
At least... At least allow me to break pots and bury her 104
to give her the chance to get reincarnated, Pingjing. 105
I will think a way to let you do that. 106
- I will beg His Majesty to show mercy. - Pingjing, 107
you are the Second Young Master of Chang Lin Manor. 108
His Majesty will surely listen to your words. I ask you to please help me. 109
- I beg you to help me, help me... - Yuanqi, Yuanqi! 110
Second Young Master, Commander Xun asks that you quickly go to the back hall. 111
I know already. 112
Yuanqi, get up first. Get up. 113
- Pingjing... - Yuanqi, 114
do not worry. I will think of a way. 115
Older Brother Xun. 116
What is it? 117
I was busy lately. 118
It has already been days since I saw Second Prince and Third Prince. 119
Come, bring them forward. 120
Informing Your Majesty, 121
His Majesty is calling for you. 122
He asks that Your Majesty come to Yangju Palace. 123
Her Majesty the Empress is here! 124
I am here as His Majesty has ordered. Greetings to Your Majesty. 125
As this matter concerns the Inner Palace. The Empress should also listen. 126
I will abide. 127
Come up here then. 128
Your Majesty, the Empress. 129
Sit. (She's being granted the right to publicly sit in his presence.) 130
Yes, Your Majesty. 131

Reporting to Your Majesty, I was ordered by His Majesty to search the Laiyang Manor. 133
I discovered that Grand Madam had a secret cabinet in her sleeping chamber. 134
Inside it, there were indeed a few unimaginable things. 135
Bring them forward. 136
Your Majesty, please calm your anger. 137
Based on these items, we can deduce that the hatred of Grand Madam Laiyang 138
toward Your Majesty and the Imperial Family has been present for a long time. 139
In the past, the previous Emperor was already very merciful to her and her child. 140
I really never thought... 141
she would be this impervious to reason! 142
Your Majesty, Grand Madam Laiyang was also able to accidentally obtain 143
an opportunity to harm the House of Chang Lin. 144
This is the other item that we found in the manor. 145
Your Majesty, the Empress, most likely recognizes it. 146
This is the cosmetics box that I gave the Heir's Consort. 147
Your Majesty, you knew about it. 148
The Heir also asked me to investigate this matter. 149
But... how did it come to end up in the Laiyang Manor? 150
Your Majesty, the Empress, 151
this cosmetics box in my hand... 152
is the box that my wife had been using. 153
Reporting to Your Majesty, Grand Madam Laiyang wrote in her final letter 154
that seven years ago, she secretly switched 155
the cosmetics box that Her Majesty, the Empress, gifted to the Heir's Consort. 156
When the box was delivered to the Prince of Chang Lin's manor, 157
it had already become the cosmetics box that the Heir brought with him earlier. 158
These two cosmetics boxes are almost the same. 159
After seven years, it is also not surprising if Her Majesty, the Empress, does not recognize it. 160
It is just that the cosmetics box, that Pingzhang has submitted, 161
its bottom is a bit higher due to an additional layer inside it. 162
And on that layer was spread Donghai Vermilion Glue. 163
Donghai Vermilion Glue? 164
Your Majesty, Donghai Vermilion Glue is a very rare and extremely cold material. 165
A person chronically exposed to it... 166
A person chronically exposed to it won't be able to bear a child. 167
What? 168
Really an evil woman's heart! 169
Your Majesty, take care of your health. 170
Your Majesty, please do not get overly worried. 171
After going through the nursing regimen of Miss Lin Xi of Ji Feng Hall, 172
the health of Xiao Xue 173
is already in the process of recovery. 174
It is good that it can be recovered. 175
Replying to Your Majesty. In the letter personally written by Grand Madam Laiyang, 176
she also narrated the reason for the death of Imperial Consort Shu. 177
Hand me the letter. 178
Empress. 179
Your Majesty. 180
Was it her? 181
I do not know, Your Majesty! 182
Was it written by her? 183
Although it starts with "My son, Yuanqi," 184
it is not signed. 185
How about the penmanship? 186
Based on the penmanship, it was indeed written by her. 187
Replying to Your Majesty. 188
The letter mentions 189
that Imperial Consort Shu discovered that Grand Madam Laiyang switched the cosmetics boxes. 190
Imperial Consort Shu tried to persuade her in a discreet manner, but she was silenced. 191
All of this, from the timing, motive, material evidence to the testimonies, have been verified to be true. 192
From this, we can conclude that everything 193
was done by Grand Madam Laiyang alone. 194
[Qian Tian Court] 195
Have the Jin Guards sealed up the Laiyang Manor since early this morning? 196
Yes. 197
The corpse of Grand Madam Laiyang was carried out, covered with just one cloth. 198
But no one saw any trace of Xiao Yuanqi. He must have locked himself inside the manor. 199
What about Xun Feizhan and Xiao Pingjing? 200
They have already returned to the palace to report the findings of their search. 201
Since the matter cannot be hidden anymore, 202
then just... let matters have closure. 203
I never thought that... 204
my Consort Shu had actually died at the hands of a person she treated as a real sister. 205
Because Marquis Mozi came to seek revenge, 206
we learned that Grand Madam Laiyang was the real mastermind behind the death of Imperial Consort Shu. 207
Thus, deducing things backward, 208
adding those things that were already discovered before, 209
all the details of this case 210
can now be finally clearly connected together. 211
I never thought that for these past years, while she was pretending to be submissive, 212
her heart was actually full of animosity. 213
Good thing His Majesty was blessed with vast good fortune. 214
You did not get harmed by her curses. 215
I know that you are sad, Your Majesty. 216
But with such a very old case, 217
being able to find out the truth is also a form of comfort. 218
Your Majesty has not yet fully recovered. 219
If you harm your body just because of anger, 220
will you not have fulfilled the wishes of this criminal? 221
What Imperial Brother said is right. I indeed feel a bit tired. 222
I do no want to give any decree for the handling of anything today. 223
You all can leave. 224
- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty. 225
Imperial Brother, do not worry. 226
I really am all right. I just want to go rest now. 227
Your Majesty, take care. We all will take our leave. 228
Your Majesty, I was incapable. 229
I was not able to discover that such a person existed in the Inner Palace 230
and caused my younger sister, Consort Shu, to suffer such an evil act. 231
I hope Your Majesty can punish me! 232
Empress... 233
These past years... 234
you have suffered. 235
Your Majesty! 236
Older Brother, Grand Madam Laiyang indeed deserved to be punished. 237
But I believe that Yuanqi was not involved in this. 238
He currently is being locked up in his manor living through such a difficult situation, 239
unable to see His Majesty and voice his complaints. 240
He also did not beg me for anything. He just hopes that I can help him tell His Majesty... 241
Pingjing, 242
the corpse of Grand Madam Laiyang is still being autopsied. 243
Yuanqi also has someone keeping watch over him in his manor. 244
Should you not begin thinking about your own matter now? 245
What is "my own matter?" 246
Heir. 247
Heir, the Old Prince is calling for you. 248
Yes. 249
And also the Second Young Master. 250
Say it. 251
Did you two know about Xue'er's matter beforehand? 252
Yes. 253
Why did you not tell me earlier! 254
Royal Father has a lot of military matters to take care of. We were able to handle our own matter by ourselves. 255
We did not want Royal Father to worry anymore. 256
Did not want me to worry? 257
How big was this matter! 258
This was as big as the heavens! 259
Pingzhang, get up. 260
I did not tell you to get up! 261
What did that Miss Lin say after examining her? 262
Royal Father, 263
Lin Xi said that she can try to nurse her. 264
It is just that it will take some time. 265
If we could have discovered it earlier and did not take this long, it would have been better. 266
Pingzhang, stay. 267
Pingjing, go out. 268
Royal Father, you indeed should be angry. But you should not vent your anger on Older Brother! 269
Get out! 270
Get out! 271
Sister-in-law. 272
Where is your older brother? 273
I rarely see Royal Father this angry. He drove me out. 274
Then is your father scolding your older brother? 275
This is not his fault. 276
So true. 277
- Royal Father-- - I heard that 278
you transferred management of the Eastern Courtyard of the Heir to your Deputy Commander. 279
Why? 280
Butler Zhou is already old. I was thinking... 281
Pingzhang, 282
since you know about your real identity, could it be that you do not want to bare your heart to me anymore? 283
Royal Father, you have said things too seriously. 284
Pingzhang, 285
get up first before talking. 286
Pingzhang, 287
I want to hear you tell me the truth. 288
Royal Father, 289
Butler Zhou has a granddaughter who was a serving maid by Xiao Xue's side. 290
I found out that years ago, she previously broke that box once. 291
Because of her fear, she gave it to Butler Zhou to have it secretly fixed. 292
The substance that had been placed inside the box 293
most assuredly would have been noticed by Butler Zhou. 294
But in the end, he sent it back as it was. 295
Butler Zhou is still an old servant of our house. 296
He knows... 297
He knows about the relationship between you and Xue'er. 298
And also knows that even if Xue'er doesn't ever have a child, you will never marry another wife. 299
There is only one explanation for him doing that! 300
He does not want you to have any descendants. 301
Royal Father, 302
Butler Zhou entered our manor along with Mother. 303
It is understandable that he will favor Pingjing more. 304
Even if I did not ask, I already knew. 305
I am sure that he just felt it was unfair to Mother. 306
If your mother were still alive, 307
she surely would be the first one to not spare Butler Zhou! 308
Older Brother, how come your complexion looks so bad? 309
What did Father say after making you stay? 310
Nothing. 311
He just asked how we were able to find out the truth. 312
If he was just going to ask this, why then must he make me leave? 313
Pingjing, I am a bit tired. Let us just talk tomorrow. 314
Brother Pingzhang, it has been a long time since I saw you like this. 315
What did Royal Father scold you about? 316
No, it is not that. 317
I also do not know for what reason, 318
but I miss Mother a lot lately. 319
Hearing you say that, 320
I also miss her now. 321
Pingjing's character is very similar to Mother's. 322
Always so cheerful. 323
It's so easy to make him happy. 324
Unfortunately, in this world, 325
there are always things that will make people feel vexed. 326
He will know about it sooner or later. 327
[Prince of Chang Lin's Manor] 328
Second Young Master. 329
Wasn't that Butler Zhou? What is going on? 330
The Old Prince gave orders to have Butler Zhou escorted 331
and also have him detained in our manor in Hanzhou. 332
Why? 333
Early this morning, Butler Zhou got summoned by the Old Prince and questioned. 334
I also do not know why, but Old Prince got very angry. 335
Older Brother! 336
I heard you. Your older brother just woke up. 337
Sister-in-law. 338
There is no breakfast today. 339
Brother, Butler Zhou was sent by Royal Father to Hanzhou and placed under house arrest. 340
Do you know why? 341
What did you say? Butler Zhou? 342
What has happened? 343
Since Pingjing said it was ordered by Royal Father, he must have done something wrong. 344
But Butler Zhou is an old servant, who had watched Mother grow up. 345
Everything was still fine yesterday. 346
What mistake did he make today that he must be sent into exile and put under house arrest? 347
Royal Father must have a reason for his decision. 348
As juniors, we should not ask anything more. 349
Miss Lin is still waiting for you. Quickly go. 350
For Mother's sake, go and clarify things today then tell me about it. All right? 351
Yes. 352
I think that my older brother doesn't need to ask anymore, for you already know what it is. Am I right? 353
Since yesterday, I had already felt that something was strange. 354
You and Royal Father must be hiding something. 355
You two know about it and just will not tell me! 356
No, we are one family! 357
I cannot bear to be kept in the dark like this! 358
You must tell it to me clearly today! 359
If you do not say it clearly, I will not leave! 360
Sit down. 361
I am fine with standing. 362
Around four years ago, Butler Zhou 363
already discovered that the Donghai Vermilion Glue was hidden in the secret layer of the cosmetics box. 364
Why then did he not disclose it? 365
He did not disclose it... 366
maybe because that matter exactly suited his intentions. 367
I do not believe it! Him doing that is totally unreasonable! 368
Butler Zhou has worked in our manor for forty years. 369
Taking care of Mother, then taking care of Older Brother and me. 370
What would be his motive for doing that? 371
Do you know 372
that Royal Father is an adopted son of the previous Emperor? 373
Of course, I know. 374
The whole capital knows about that. 375
I am too. 376
What did you just say? 377
I am also just an adopted son. 378
Mother treated me like I was truly her own. 379
But for Butler Zhou, 380
I am still not Mother's real son. 381
And Mother's real son 382
was not able to become the heir to Chang Lin Manor, because of my existence. 383
T-That is why... 384
he did that... 385
a-all because of...? 386
