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

After 3 rounds of drinks is the time when people are at their liveliest.

Imperial Highness Prince Hui, I kind of heard that among your entourage,

there is actually a Langya top fighter.

This is my cousin, Tuoba Yu, the third son of our kingdom's Elder Prince Hanhai.

His mother was my auntie, also known as the Eldest Princess Jinxian.

In this year's Langya charts, he is ranked as 5th.

He indeed looked distinguished and imposing.

I have lived in the palace so my experience is not that vast. The people around me are also just people with limited outlook.

Today, the we are here being merry as host and guest, and there is even such a character among us.

Why not liven things up for this banquet?

Is it okay for our two states to exchange a few martial arts moves?

Since Your Majesty has such pleasurable interest,

how can I dare to refuse it?

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Your Imperial Highness.

Thank you for giving me this chance.

Sword.

Say, little sister, I know that you are careful.

I also am not asking for anything else.

Just tell me the truth.

Your body is way stronger than an ordinary person

and you are very obedient to medical prescriptions and very cooperative.

At present, the cold poison in your body is already 70-80% eliminated.

It is faster than I expected.

Really?!

My good little sister, since you came to the capital,

I felt that the good fortune of our House of Chang Lin is way better than before.

Once Pingzhang comes back from the palace,

I will immediately tell him this good news.

You don't know that he would usually pretend to not be bothered it

just to not make me sad.

But in his hearts, he really is very worried.

That is just normal human reaction. Of course, he will feel that way.

Thank you for being lenient with me.

I am really an outsider. Seeing how they were fighting so excitingly,

I never understood it at all.

Award them wine.

You always had a good eyesight. Tell me, who won?

Older brother, stop joking with me. You also were able to see it.

Your Majesty.

What is it, Princess?

Based on our customs, women also train in martial arts just like men.

Since the exchange of moves today is to liven up this alliance banquet,

I will be bold then

to ask for one fight.

Chonghua!

Although the wedding date has been set, I am still a Yan lady by today.

Hope 5th Brother can allow me to be willful this one last time.

Your willfulness has already happened more than once.

That is also not such a big deal.

It's just that my high commander is usually a reckless person.

Princess is royal lady. If you two fight, what if--

After High Commander's fight, I'm sure that he is already exhausted.

Of course, I dare not continue to tire him.

I heard that the Second Young Master of Chang Lin used to train in Langya Court.

I really am looking forward to see it. Using this good opportunity, can I ask for some lesson from you?

Imperial Highness Prince Hui, in our empire's past generations,

we did have a princess that is good in fighting.

A woman that will not lose to any men when it comes to fighting. Since it is only to liven up this banquet,

there is no need to overly restrain her.

Pingjing.

Your Majesty. Your Majesty knows that Pingjing still has injuries so it's not proper for him to fight.

If Princess wants to have a fight with him, there's no rush in doing it today.

After the marriage, I'm sure that there will be more chances.

I heard that based on the customs of Great Liang, women are taught to be primarily gentle and submissive.

Before I left our kingdom, I've promised my royal father

that after the wedding, I will treat my husband as the sky

and consider myself as a lady from Great Liang.

I will not wield my sword from then on and will not be undisciplined and willful.

May Heir of Chang Lin not worry. I have always showed propriety when I fight.

I just wanted to see the fighting techniques of Langya.

I definitely will not hurt anyone.

Brother, do not worry. I have already fully recuperated. It is better to just deal with her.

Or else, this situation will just get more tensed.

Please.

You wrote well.

Thank you, Imperial Mother.

Your cough is still not fully cured and you are thinking of playing already?

Imperial Uncle already said this morning

that Brother Pingzhang and Pingjing will be entering the palace today.

Imperial Mother, send someone to ask them too that once they are done with official matters,

have them come here to play with me.

Fine. Go outside the Yixian Hall and check the situation there.

If they are done, tell them that the Crown Prince is asking for an audience from the two young masters of Chang Lin.

Yes.

Thank you, Imperial Mother.

Feizhan.

- Your Majesty. - Who is winning?

Although Princess Chonghua indeed has exceptional skills, Pingjing has more or less controlled the situation.

He knows how to not let her get hurt. Your Majesty, do not worry.

Your highness!

-Your majesty! -Your highness!

Your highness!

5th brother!

5th Brother! 5th Brother!

Your highness!

-Your highness! -Go get the imperial doctor!

Go get the imperial doctor!

-5th Brother! -Get the imperial doctor!

Your highness!

Your highness!

My 5th Brother came to make an alliance.

He was bearing good intentions. If the House of Chang Lin is against this treaty,

you still should not have made such cruel act.

I didn't!

Lord Tuoba! Calm down! Calm down!

Anger will not be able to resolve anything!

Imperial Highness Prince Hui was very sincere.

Yet he got assassinated by a murderer right here in your hall!

If Your Majesty will not give us an acceptable explanation,

I swear that Great Yan will never forget this bloody grudge for generations!

Lord Tuoba, the matter happened so suddenly.

Please calm down.

Your Majesty, so many eyes are watching.

It is better to pacify them first.

Men.

Here!

Xiao Pingjing acted so recklessly. Immediately detain him.

Lock him in the prison of the Ministry of Justice first and his case will be investigated later.

Yes!

Your Majesty clearly knows that we are away from our state kingdom and have no one here to rely on.

With such a huge crime, are you just going to detain him?

Lord Tuoba! Lord Tuoba! His Majesty has already agreed to give you justice.

What you should do now is to find Prince Hui a place to be buried.

Your Imperial Highness...

Your Imperial Highness!

Your Imperial Highness!

Your Imperial Highness...

Your Imperial Highness...

Xiao Pingjing killed Prince Hui?

Impossible.

I also do not know of the details yet.

Good thing, the Crown Prince did not go.

The Northern Yan is indeed a kingdom of fighters.

Their internal fight has become this bloody and horrifying.

An ending like this...

I never expected it.

What should we do next?

May Master give me instructions.

The matter happened so suddenly. Do not make any rash moves first.

Continue getting information. Just be careful.

Yes.

How about this? You personally guard here. Be very vigilant in guarding.

Just give the Northern Yan people whatever they want but try your best not to let them casually move in and out.

Yes. But...Tuoba Yu...

If you are really unable to stop him, do not confront him head on.

Just inform me about it. Go now.

I will follow your orders.

This matter is really troublesome.

Do not say that the Northern Yan did not expect it.

Even us...we did not know that

Elder Prince is against the peace treaty.

- What nonsense are you saying?! - Yes.

If Imperial Prince is against the peace treaty, he could just openly say it. Why must he kill anyone?

What happened today was clearly an accident.

Yes.

Your Majesty is bright. I also believe that

this is purely an accident.

But the blood corpse of Prince Hui is lying there.

I fear that the Northern Yan people will not accept that this matter was just an accident.

Your Majesty, regardless if they accept it or not,

those are just eventual matters. What is troublesome now

is that there are no one we can discuss this matter with.

Although Tuoba Yu is from a noble family, he does not really have any official position.

He was just an escort.

Princess Chonghua is a woman. And she kept insisting

that Second Young Master deliberately did the murder.

A Northern Yan prince of direct bloodline dying in the court hall of our Great Liang,

are we still going to let the king of Northern Yan

send another envoy to discuss how to resolve this problem?

It was supposed to be a performance to liven the banquet.

How come it turned out like this?

If Second Young Master could have been a bit more careful, it would have been better.

Your Majesty.

Ministers.

The cabinet worked hard for so many days for the peace talks between Yan and Liang,

yet it ended up in such a predicament.

Our House of Chang Lin understand your worries and hardships.

I am apologizing for them.

I am very grateful that Your Majesty believes

that Pingjing did not do it deliberately.

But to say that this matter is purely an accident,

I fear that we cannot make such an abrupt conclusion.

- Pingzhang, what you mean is... - I feel that with such a huge matter,

we must take into considerations all possibilities. It is not good to casually make conclusions.

If Your Majesty will allow it, I want to visit Pingjing first.

Go now. Pingjing is just being detained but he can accept visitors. Just go as you want.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I heard that the Second Young Master of Chang Lin used to train in Langya Court.

I really look forward to see it.

Do not know if I can ask for a few lessons?

But why must she do such a thing?

Old Master knew that I surely would get bored here in the capital.

That's why, if he sees any odd things or hears any strange information, he would send me letters.

Heir of Chang Lin, please be careful.

Which prison?

It is the 1st prison after the steps.

Older brother.

I initially thought that Princess Chonghua was just angry that she will be married off to a foreign state

and that her attacks were so heavy because she wanted to vent this anger.
