[Nirvana in Fire 2: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin] 3
[Episode 44] 4
Okay. Go now. 5
Yes, Master. 6
I have caused Prince to wait. 7
No such thing... 8
There are so many people sending visitation requests to you. 9
Each one raising their heads and longing that you would call for them. 10
I initially thought that you would be so busy and would not have any time. 11
Or else, I would have brought Anru earlier to visit and greet you. 12
It is indeed important to manage social relationships during the start of the year. 13
But the current situation is different from the past years. 14
The matter with Donghai is still hanging and unsettled. 15
I also am not in the mood to entertain guests. 16
No need to be so formal. 17
As the head of the cabinet, you are different from an idle person like me. 18
You naturally should worry about government matters all the time. 19
You must not call yourself as an idle person. 20
A few days ago, I went inside the palace to greet His Majesty. 21
His Majesty already mentioned 22
of passing the heavy burden of recovering the three regions of Huaidong 23
to you. 24
Every time I send someone to see you, 25
they would always say that you will recover just after a few days of recuperation. 26
I actually believed it. 27
What illness is it really? 28
How come you have become like this? 29
No major illness. 30
It is just that at night, I am just unable to sleep. 31
Do I not know you? You always sleep soundly. You never had problems with sleeping. 32
Tell me the truth. 33
Are you suffering any grievances from your husband? 34
I initially thought that these two personal servants are smart and quick-witted. 35
They would be able to take good care of you. 36
But who would have thought 37
that Pei'er would get involved in such an accident. 38
Pei'er... 39
You also should not improperly belittle yourself. 40
Recalling when you volunteered to lead the army in the past, how many people in the government placed their high hopes on you? 41
In the end, did you not return fully victorious? 42
Minister, you also know that time, I have a bit of reckless courage. 43
I did not really give it much thought. Is it not that General Yue of Qianzhou already say? 44
Donghai already has plans to withdraw. 45
I just happen to have encountered some good luck. 46
It is fine to just listen to these words. 47
No need to put them to heart. 48
Although I am a scholarly official, 49
I still know very well that in fighting in the battlefield, 50
there are real knives and spears. Can that still be faked?! 51
Thank you for Minister's consoling words. 52
I knew very well that my foundation is shallow. 53
It cannot be helped for people to criticize me after being able to receive such huge graces from His Majesty. 54
To say that I do not mind, there would still be some uneasy feelings. 55
But even if I want to contradict it, there really are no one who are directly confronting me. 56
Minister has been leading the government for so many years and are well-knowledgeable and experienced. 57
Hope you can give me some guidance. If His Majesty will again entrust me such great task, 58
should I accept it 59
or not? 60
Your uncle and I have no children. 61
Good thing, our clan was prosperous in descendants. 62
Feizhan and you grew up in our manor. 63
You two are like my real children. 64
There are no outsiders here right now. 65
What words cannot be said between us? 66
Auntie sincerely loves me. 67
I know that very well. 68
I also feel that Pei'er's death is very strange. 69
The Chenxiang Villa has guardrails, doors, and windows. 70
How careless could she has been? Pei'er has also been good in swimming since she was little. 71
Even if she indeed fell, will she not be able to struggle and swim up? 72
Who else are there? 73
How come I heard that even MIn'er was not around? 74
Everything must have a start, cause, effect, and end, right? 75
You must tell me the truth so I can help you resolve your problems. 76
Is it not? 77
Auntie, 78
I really do not know what to do. 79
Madam, High Commander is here. 80
Auntie. Auntie. 81
How come no one informed me that Anru is here? 82
Cousin. 83
Anru, I was unable to rush back and attend your wedding last time. 84
Really so sorry. 85
Anru. 86
What is wrong? How come your complexion looks so bad? 87
Did anyone bully you? 88
Older brother... 89
Is Yuanqi not treating you well? 90
If he bullies you, you must tell me. 91
I do not care if he is some prince. I surely will not spare him. 92
- An'er! - Anru! 93
- Lady. - What is wrong? - Anru, what is wrong with you? 94
- Do you feel unwell? - Madam, there is no need to worry. 95
The doctor already said that Lady's morning sickness symptoms are not that grave. 96
Morning sickness? 97
An'er is pregnant?! 98
How come you did not say it sooner? 99
This is the first child. 100
No wonder, you said earlier that you do not know what to do. 101
Just wait here. I will go make you a sour soup. 102
Because of the battle with Donghai, you suddenly rose to fame. 103
If you would be successful in taking back the three regions of Huaidong, 104
then those clamor in the court will die down by itself. 105
Of course, 106
the Donghai army is good in water battle. 107
For Prince to have hesitations, it is also understandable. 108
How about this then? 109
Qianzhou's General Yue Yinchuan is a talent. 110
We can promote him to become your assistant commander. 111
He can help you train the soldiers under your generals. 112
In the future, while in the front lines, 113
you two can also discuss things among yourselves if you have any questions. 114
What do you think? 115
Yue Yinchuan 116
is indeed a good general. 117
During his audience with His Majesty, Yue Yinchuan was reckless in his words. 118
Do not say just you, 119
even I was unhappy with him. 120
But for the government's greater plans, 121
I think Prince will not make a fuss with it, right? 122
Minister, what are you saying? 123
I also have read the eastern border battle strategy that General Yue has submitted. 124
He indeed is an outstanding talent that can bear great responsibilities. 125
Okay. If you have no objections, 126
I will then discuss this with His Majesty when I enter the palace tomorrow. 127
Looks like His Majesty like General Yue a lot. 128
Do not know if Prince has previously heard of the term 'deep water dock'? 129
The terrain of the 3 regions of Huaidong is very complicated. 130
It seems to be giving proof to what General Yue said. 131
It is still Minister who make meticulous and thorough thinking. 132
I am willing to follow any of your arrangements. 133
I am extremely grateful. 134
Okay. Come. 135
It is now the new year. 136
We also should not keep talking about government matters. 137
Come, come, drink more. 138
Senior Grand Secretary is usually busy everyday. You have so many things that you must handle right now. 139
I will not bother you for too long anymore. 140
[Pinjing] 141
Minister, 142
is this a letter from Pingjing? 143
Yes! 144
It is rare that this child still thinks of me. 145
It is just some new year greetings. 146
How is Prince of Chang Lin doing? 147
I have never heard of him for quite a long time. 148
He is different from us. 149
Traveling all over the world, free and at leisure. 150
[Pingjing] 151
Madam Qi came just for these? 152
Boat making blueprints, geography, and hydrology? These Donghai people are really ignorant. 153
- The do not even know to ask for something more valuable. - What do you know? 154
Are those Donghai crafty men easy to deal with? 155
We still do not know what their real intentions are. 156
In the deals that Marquis Mozi make with Prince, we cannot really get much advantage. 157
Go and make some distraction to lure them out. I will then go in. 158
I understand. 159
What are you doing? 160
We will just look for items. No need to bring them out. 161
Remember. Do not have contact or fight with them. Do not be zealous in fighting. 162
Make sure to look meticulously. 163
What did I tell you? I told you not to be zealous in fighting. 164
I did not. 165
General. 166
How come there are so many? 167
Master...what really are you worried about? 168
I already carefully asked the words that you want me to ask An'er. 169
She did not say anything. 170
No leaks at all. No weakness at all. 171
If his heart is not hiding anything, why must he be this vigilant? 172
Did Prince Laiyang do anything wrong and offended you? 173
He is our son-in-law. 174
He usually is respectful and follows proper etiquette. 175
If it is not that important, 176
why don't husband just be a bit more magnanimous? 177
Master, Yue Yinchuan requests an audience. 178
I will see him. 179
Yes, Master. 180
Prince, Commander He is here. He is waiting for you in the study. 181
I know already. Leave now. 182
Prince. 183
Although I do not know what started it, this old man 184
has already started to suspect me. 185
What is he suspecting? 186
How is it possible for Xiao Pingjing to write Xun Baishui a letter? 187
And it is just to greet him a happy new year? 188
Right now, he should be preparing for his wedding. 189
What happened to your face? 190
I was just about to say it. 191
Today, there was someone who covertly attacked me. 192
Do you know who? 193
I do not know. They only searched through the old documents I got from the Ministry of Works and did not take anything. 194
Are those that items I told you to get from the Ministry of Works? 195
Yes. Two chest full of documents. 196
Prince, could it be there are someone else monitoring this matter? 197
Go... 198
and call Madam Qi over. 199
Yes. 200
I already have made my decision. 201
We must investigate clearly the matter concerning Donghai. 202
You are the complainant. Once this starts, you cannot turn back. 203
Have you thought about it well? 204
I am resolute with my decision. No hesitations. 205
Were you able to clearly go through the documents of the Supreme Court? 206
Minister, from the copied reports that the Ministry of Works provided the Supreme Court which were considered evidences, 207
more than a year ago, someone already went to gather 208
the city defense of the ten regions of the eastern border and military information like army stations. 209
Anyone who got to handle these information either died or returned to their home province. 210
But there are 3 confirmed to be old subordinates of Prince Laiyang when he was still in Ganzhou. 211
And one is the assistant general of the Patrol Guards Commander He Cheng. 212
Since you have startled He Cheng, you surely would alarm Prince Laiyang. 213
Immediately write down all the doubtful parts, the testimonies of the witnesses 214
into a report. Wait for me outside the palace. 215
We are entering the palace? 216
General Yue, 217
tomorrow, enter the palace with me. 218
Yes! 219
I know that Prince is destined to be the son of heaven (emperor) so you surely will come around. 220
I already got 221
the things you asked me to get. 222
Since you tossed me some peach wood, I will repay you with a precious jade. 223
Prince, do not worry. I surely will not disappoint you. 224
Madam seems to be so confident. I know that you are also not reckless. 225
You surely have prepared for this long ago. 226
The people I brought with me this time are all martial arts masters. 227
And all are king's loyal assassins. 228
For the past month, they already were adeptly trained 229
in scouting for information, preparing an ambush, and making their move. 230
All plans are now properly prepared. 231
The only thing we are unsure of 232
is one person. 233
Xun Feizhan. 234
Husband. 235
You are already at this age. 236
Standing outside in the middle of a winter night, 237
what are you thinking about? 238
Wife, for so many years in the government, 239
can I be considered to be very sincere in doing everything for His Majesty? 240
The whole world can see your loyalty to His Majesty. 241
Why do you ask? 242
In terms of intentions, 243
I never went against the principles of being a subject. 244
But in terms of the things I have done... 245
I am a bit unsure. 246
Unsure of what? 247
Could it be that in the past, 248
I really did not make any mistakes? 249

Master. 251
Go and get my cabinet seal 252
and go to the local governor's office to mobilize 100 soldiers for escort. 253
Yes, Master. 254
Uncle. 255
Feizhan. 256
Uncle. 257
Uncle, are you entering the palace? 258
Is it not the 3rd day of the year today? Based on usual practice, 259
one should enter the palace to greet His Majesty. 260
I was just planning to ask you to come with me. 261
Uncle, based on my present identity, I fear that it is not proper for me to enter the palace. 262
Oh, right... 263
Uncle, I plan to go out the city today to visit Pingzhang. 264
Pingzhang? 265
It is indeed time to visit him. 266
Recently, I kept recalling a lot of past things. 267
I remember how you two were exchanging moves and playing when you were still little. 268
Feizhan, 269
visit Pingzhang in my behalf. 270
Uncle, how about this? 271
I will first escort you to the palace and then just go out the city afterwards. 272
No need. No need. 273
I already mobilized soldiers from the local governor's office to escort me. 274
Hurry and just go. 275
Okay then. 276
Uncle, I will get going now. 277
Feizhan! 278
Uncle, do you still need anything else? 279
How come I forgot what I want to say? 280
Come back early. We will be eating dumplings tonight. 281
I got it. 282
General, did we come too early? 283
When meeting up with Senior Grand Secretary, you dare not be early 284
and instead planned to be just in time? 285
Well, someone traveled to the capital 286
exactly pressed on time. 287
Xun Manor 288
Letter from Xiao Pingjing 289
Protect His Lordship! 290
Protect! 291
General, did you remember the time wrong? 292
Of couse not. 293
Can't be that the chancellor is being delayed by something? 294
Hey. 295
To Chancellor 296
Donghai monarch asks about you. 297
Suanpi Drink Inn 298
Sir. 299
Sir. 300
Sir! 301
Off guard. 302
His Majesty. 303
Chang Lin. 304
Chang Lin Prince. 305
Sir. 306
Sir! 307
Uncle! 308
- Uncle! - Anru! 309
- I must meet -- - You can't go now, Anru. 310
What happened to my uncle? 311
Don't panic. Watch your health. 312
Thought Uncle didn't fare, we will capture the assassin. 313
They said it was a Donghai assassin. 314
Anru. Don't overthink again. Allow me to explain it to you all. 315
I must go see my uncle. 316
- Anru! - Prince Consort. 317
Get the royal physician! 318
Anru. Anru! 319
Do not worry, Uncle. 320
Feizhan will not allow you to die in vain. 321
I will certainly capture the assassin alive. 322
And apply the law on her. 323
Mother Empress. 324
Mother Empress! 325
What happened outside? Tell me at once. 326
Uncle. 327
Uncle, he -- 328
It's alright. 329
We are still so young. 330
When your body is restored, we will have another baby. 331
After Chancellor Xun's passing, 332
the inner chamber is in a chaos and the six ministries are scattered. 333
To knock down some aloft like Prince of Laiyang -- 334
I fear it's just that much more difficult now. 335
I just don't comprehend. Assassinate him in the middle of the street? 336
How could that assassin then escape without a trace? 337
Besides the imperial guards, there's also the patrol garrison. 338
I forgot again. The patrol garrison is under Laiyang's control. 339
We don't even know 340
who else is trustworthy in this Jinling now. 341
Heaven's mandate can't be easily attained. 342
There must be a price to pay in the end. 343
As long as the biggest calamity can be rid of, all will be fine slowly. 344
Your Highness? 345
You're sure no one saw you on the way here? 346
Soon there will be a full search around the city. 347
I can only vouch for your safety here. 348
Don't worry, Your Highness. 349
Our exchanges only belong to us. 350
My people only carry out orders. 351
You are indeed so smart and quick. 352
And your actions are dependable as always. 353
However, there is another word. 354
That I'd you to bring back to the monarch. 355
Please go ahead. 356
We've each fulfilled our agreement. 357
No more alliances in the future. 358
Please eat something, Mother Empress. 359
We still haven't captured the murderer. 360
How do you suppose I could eat? 361
I have already cast my order to have Prince of Laiyang conduct a full search. 362
And also to offer a heavy reward to those who can provide a clue. 363
As long as that female assassin is still in the city, we will be able to capture her for sure. 364
Of course she's still in the city. 365
After the incident, the first thing that we did was to seal off the city. 366
How far could she run to? 367
According to the guards at imperial fortress, 368
the day of the incident, they were not prepared to react too swift, 369
and a group of small peddler band left the city in a rush. 370
And it was discovered later that their journey route was fabricated. 371
It was obviously suspicious. 372
Did they catch them? 373
Don't worry, Mother Empress. I've already picked out a group of imperial army. 374
Led by Brother Feizhan to go after them. 375
We've only captured some accessory offenders in the city. 376
The possibility that the female assassin as escaped Jinling, 377
- is getting bigger and bigger. - I don't care where she fled to. 378
I will capture her alive and lay the law on her. 379
To honor my uncle's soul in heaven. 380
To assassin my nation's chancellor in our own nation of Great Liang. 381
Donghai is tyrannizing us too much. 382
Though I am not seated in the royal court, 383
as long as I still have a breath left, 384
I shall never sit and watch 385
as Donghai people do as they wish in my Great Liang. 386
We'll bid farewell here. I leave the work in the city to you. 387
We are all family. Pleae spare the formality. 388
- I would like to be a nag. - Please go ahead. 389
Yuanqi, Anru is my only sister. 390
You must treat her well, or else -- 391
As her big brother, I will never consent. 392
Please be assured, Big Brother. Yuanqi will treat Anru well for sure. 393
Looking at how those two are talking, 394
it didn't seem like Captain Xun said anything to Grand Commander. 395
Xun Feizhan has been in charge of the forbidden imperial army all these years. 396
His loyalty probably isn't something to question. 397
This isn't about loyalty or not. 398
Think about it. Xiao Yuanqi and Xun Feizhan, 399
they are old friends who are also family. 400
But us, we are just a few strangers. 401
If you were Xun Feizhan, who would your ears lean toward? 402
What's wrong? 403
That female assassin is still in the capital. 404
How do you know that, General? 405
Xun Feizhan is a master listed high on the Langya roster and he's leaving the city with an elite army to chase after her. 406
Yet Xiao Yuanqi is not worried at all. 407
Why do you suppose that's the case? 408
That -- he deems the area outside the city is too wide 409
so it's not a sure thing that Xun Feizhan can capture the assassin? 410
Indeed, just unsure. 411
The areas around the capital are still Great Liang territory. 412
With the previous grand commander going out to chase after, 413
whether that Donghai assassin can actually escape -- 414
It would definitely be a matter lacking in sureness. 415
But in this capital, 416
though they are searching thoroughly and offering heavy reward, 417
it's still all done with Xiao Yuanqi as the one carrying it out. 418
Tell me which is safer, inside or outside the city? 419
Things are under tight watch now. 420
If I were Xiao Yuanqi, I would definitely 421
leave the assassin in a safe place. 422
Leave her in a place where he is in personal control of. 423
Your Highness. 424
Attend to the Prince Consort well. 425
Yes. 426
Your Highness, a secret letter from Donghu. 427
He's been gone to Donghu for so long. 428
This General Di is finally getting some proper sense. 429
And he's made the final decision. 430
Congratulations, Your Highness, that your wish has come true. 431
Xun Baishui is dead and Donghu imperial army is 70,000 in number. 432
To behold such strong support, that will surely come to give you much assistance later on. 433
The little power and reputation I currently have. 434
It's still falls much too short compared to what Chang Lin Prince Manor had during their time. 435
So Xun Baishui had tried over and over to control me and use me. 436
But he didn't really see me as much of a threat either. 437
Maybe before his death, he already realized how he wronged. 438
Regrettably, 439
he no longer has the chance to rectify his wrong. 440
Xun Baishui was short-sighted. How could that small fry predict the ambition of the great swan? 441
No, no. 442
Xun Baishui was a member of the royal court for decades. 443
His eyesight was not short. 444
He just didn't realize that between desire and unintentional, 445
just how greatly different they are. 446
Yes. If Chang Lin Manor had the desire back then -- 447
Chang Lin. 448
I will never be a second Chang Lin. 449
