Nirvana in Fire: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin (Nirvana in Fire 2 / 琅琊榜之风起长林)

Using him isn't as scary as you think.

In one's life, one must first be useful in order to be given an opportunity.

Isn't that so?

This is the only way out for the young marquis.

Otherwise, he'd die without a reason.

Heed my advice.

Leave a note for the young marquis.

Write down every word that you need to tell him.

What do you want me to write down?

You must write about Prince of Laiyang's death

as well as your hatred for the former emperor

His Majesty, and the old Prince of Changlin.

The young marquis mustn't be kept in the dark foolishly.

He has to know everything.

He needs to know the reason behind

his father's death and his mother's hatred.

Fourth Brother?

I beg you to say something.

Once you're dead, my sister's death is avenged.

From then on, all debts are cleared.

Your son should address me as Uncle since I'm your cousin.

If he is sincere about pledging his allegiance to Eastern Sea State...

why would he worry about having no achievements?

Good morning, Brother Xun.

Ping Jing.

I have to warn you.

I'm just here to accompany you.

As for how to question Grand Madam of Laiyang

I have no clue at all.

I can't help you with it or assist you in any way.

Let's go.

Brother Xun. Ping Jing.

You're such rare guests.

What brings you here so early in the morning?

Your Grace must have heard about it by now.

Ping Jing and I are acting on His Majesty's decree

to investigate an old case

so we'll need to ask Grand Madam of Laiyang about some details.

Your Grace, please inform her of our visit.

You have questions for my mother?

Sure. This way, please.

- Madam? - Madam?

- Madam? - Madam?

Madam?

Madam hasn't answered?

- She hasn't. - Did Madam leave her room?

Madam!

His Grace is here.

Your Grace.

- What's wrong? - Your Grace.

Grand Madam didn't get out of bed this morning

and she isn't answering when we knock or call out to her.

We don't know what happened and were about to inform you.

Mother?

Mother?

Mother?

[Revenge fulfilled. Return to Eastern Sea. Mo Zi.]

Your Grace.

Yuan Qi!

Your Grace!

Calm down!

Quickly! Summon the imperial physician!

Your Grace...

Calm down.

[Revenge fulfilled. Return to Eastern Sea. Mo Zi.]

Can you confirm that she was killed by Marquis Mo Zi?

We're certain.

This message could have been forged, but not Marquis Mo Zi's mark.

This means...

He found out that Grand Madam of Laiyang killed Consort Shu?

I really can't understand.

What reason could she have?

[Revenge fulfilled. Return to Eastern Sea. Mo Zi.]

Fei Zhan. Ping Jing.

- Present. - Present.

I command you two to lead the troop personally

to search the Marquis of Laiyang Manor!

- Yes, Your Majesty! - Yes, Your Majesty.

- Brother Xun. - Yes?

Seal the manor.

I'd like to check on Yuan Qi.

Talk to him and advise him to wait patiently for the decree.

Hold on!

What are you doing?

Second Young Master

His Majesty has decreed to have Grand Madam inspected in the palace

and to await further instructions.

What further instructions?

I...

- Go on. - Yes.

Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi?

Yuan Qi...

How are you holding up?

Ping Jing...

I don't understand...

Everything was fine yesterday.

What happened last night?

This case is too complicated.

I can't explain it clearly in a short time.

The Imperial Guards are carrying out His Majesty's decree in the manor now.

If we find anything, we'll be sure to report it.

We won't let Grand Madam of Laiyang be accused wrongly of anything.

Try not to worry so much.

Don't let this affect your health.

Carry out... His Majesty's decree?

Yes.

Apart... from sealing off the manor for the search

what else do they have to do?

It depends on what they find.

Don't panic.

Ping Jing...

However gravely my mother sinned, she is already dead.

At least...

Allow me to pay my respects to my mother and have her buried.

Give her a chance to be reincarnated?

I'll try to help you with this.

- I'll plead with His Majesty. - Ping Jing...

You're the second young master of Changlin Manor.

His Majesty will listen to you. Ping Jing, help me!

- Ping Jing, help me! - Yuan Qi!

Please help me!

Second Young Master.

Commander General Xun asks that you head over to the back hall quickly.

I heard you.

Yuan Qi, get up.

Get up.

- Ping Jing... - Yuan Qi.

Don't worry.

I'll help you with this.

Brother Xun.

What is it?

I've been busy lately

so I haven't taken a good look at our second and third prince for a few days.

Come, bring them over here.

Your Highness.

His Majesty has made a decree.

He's asked Your Highness to go to Yangju Hall.

Her Royal Highness, the empress, has arrived!

I've come to greet Your Majesty as decreed.

This matter concerns the Inner Court.

The empress should listen to it as well.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Come up here.

Your Highness.

Sit.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, acting upon your decree, I searched Marquis of Laiyang Manor.

We found that in Grand Madam's bedroom, there was a secret compartment.

There were quite a few baffling items.

Bring them to me.

Your Majesty, calm down.

Based on this item, we can deduce

that Grand Madam of Laiyang's hatred for the Imperial Clan

has certainly increased over the years.

Back then, the former emperor was lenient on her and her son.

Who could have known...

that she was actually so stubborn?

Your Majesty.

Grand Madam of Laiyang stumbled upon a chance

to cause damage to the Royal Changlin Manor.

This is another item that we found.

Your Highness, you should recognize this.

That is the makeup box I bestowed to Princess Consort on her wedding.

Your Majesty, you knew about it.

The first born prince had asked me to investigate this matter.

However...

Why would this show up in Marquis of Laiyang Manor?

Your Highness.

This makeup box that I have here is the one my wife has been using.

Your Majesty, Grand Madam wrote

that she had swapped the makeup box prepared by the empress

to be bestowed to Princess Consort seven years ago.

When the box arrived in the Royal Changlin Manor

it was the one His Highness just presented.

The size and design of both boxes are almost identical.

It's been seven years, so it's normal if Her Highness doesn't remember it.

The box Ping Zhang presented has an extra compartment at the bottom

so the last drawer is slightly taller.

In this compartment, there's a layer of Eastern Sea Dracaena.

Eastern Sea Dracaena?

Your Majesty, Eastern Sea Dracaena is a very rare, chilling substance.

Anyone in contact with it for a long period of time...

Anyone in contact with it for a long period of time...

becomes infertile.

What?

A woman's mind is so...

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty, please do not be too worried.

After Miss Lin Xi's meticulous treatments

Xiao Xue is now slowly recovering.

It's good that she can still recover.

It's fine as long as she can recover.

Your Majesty, in Grand Madam's note

she also clearly stated the cause of Consort Shu's death.

Bring the letter to me.

Empress.

Your Majesty...

Was it her?

I do not know, Your Majesty!
