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

Prince!

Prince, Pei'er saw Madam Qi.

How dare you! You dare make up such things?!

Lady indeed did not believe me.

Even if you are confused because your family suffered a great disaster,

you do not need to be evil and make deductions like that, right?!

Do you know what kind of situation it is when the eastern border's defense fell and the 10 regions got massacred?

Do you know what kind of crime is leaking military information and conniving with the enemies?

How dare you...

How dare you make up such a like?

Donghai's Black Crystal Sword...

and the words that He Cheng and that woman personally said,

I also wished that they were fake. That all these are just a nightmare.

That upon waking up,

we can still go back to that day that Lady got married off.

That day...

I was sincerely rejoicing for Lady.

Rejoicing that Lady can marry a...

a great war hero whom you can entrust the rest of your life with.

You are crazy. You totally do not know what you are saying.

The more you do not understand how absurd the words you said are.

Prince went on an expedition to the eastern border. For those big and small battles,

he bled and risked his life in fighting at them.

I cannot allow...

I will never allow anyone to slander him like that.

There must be someone who instructed you to slander Prince, right?

Who is it? Who told you to do this?!

Lady, I am a slave that was sold to serve you until death.

I followed you since I was 12 years old.

Why must I let other people order me around to slander your husband unreasonably?

You also know that you must ask why in everything.

Prince is a member of the imperial Xiao family, a descendant of the Xiao's.

Whether by family, by country, by affection, or by principles, he has no reasons to do such a thing.

You said that you do not have a reason to slander him. Then why would he connive with Donghai? Why?!

I do not know!

I only know what I heard and what I saw.

I really cannot understand why...

Greetings, Prince.

Greetings, Prince.

Why are you not accompanying Prince's Consort and just staying here alone?

Replying to Prince, Prince's Consort and Pei'er are talking upstairs.

I do not know why, but she said that I cannot listen. She told me to wait for her here.

She is talking with Pei'er?

Even you cannot hear it?

Yes.

For you, it is actually a good thing.

Whether Lady thinks that I am crazy

or has an ulterior motive, it is fine with me.

But in this world, there are a lot of things that one cannot treat as to have never happened

just by closing one's eyes.

I beg Lady to look for a chance and order the servants to search the manor's pond.

If there really is no Donghai Black Crystal Sword in there,

Lady can at least be at ease.

Husband, why are you here?

Looks like, I have arrived late.

I do not know why but this servant of mine

has been acting crazy like being possessed lately.

The words she said are strange and funny, but there is no need to take them seriously.

If Prince is mad about it,

just exile her far away to the farming village.

Let her be unable to see anyone she knows.

What do you think?

It is really not important how we are going to send away a servant maid.

What I am more concerned about now...

is only you.

Anru, you are a lady raised and taught by a noble family.

Let us not talk about other things first.

Tell me, when a woman gets married off,

what should she do?

She must respect, be cautious, be obedient,

and treat her husband as her sky.

I do not want to explain to you what I have and have not done.

I also do not want to convince you what to believe and what not to believe.

Because you and me, we are already one body.

The rest of your life has long been tied with me.

In the future, whether it is glory, insult, to float, or to sink,

we can never be separated anymore.

I believe that you know this point very clearly.

Or course, I know.

You can never understand how complicated things are outside and you do not really need to understand them.

Just manage the house matters well and serve your husband well.

These are the duties that a woman should fulfill. Am I right?

Yes.

Then tell me now,

how should we deal with this servant who slandered her master?

Lady...

There is no room to doubt the good reputation of Prince.

You really were quite bold and reckless.

For the Prince's Manor's clean name,

we cannot give her any chance to talk rubbish.

Lady...

Did you hear Prince's Consort's orders?

Yes.

Wait!

Prince, no matter what,

Pei'er has accompanied me for so many years.

I really do not want to see her blood.

The Chenxiang Lake outside is a purifying water after all.

Just let this servant maid leave in a clean manner.

That is good too. It will save us the need to clean up her corpse.

Go now.

Go now.

Farewell, Lady.

It is just a servant maid.

I will pick some good ones for you.

You will get used to them in a few days.

Anru,

do you remember what I told you during

the first night of our marriage?

I said that I will take good care of you.

I have always remembered those words.

I also would surely fulfill them in the future.

All my past thoughts and actions

are for our future.

You only should remember to trust me. No need to be afraid with other things.

Prince, is everything fine now?

A woman that grew up well pampered and protected,

can never get away from my control.

Where is Pei'er?

Do not ask.

You must never ask.

Do not mention her again.

Just treat it as if there was never a Pei'er

in this world.

Did you find anything?

In these three regions of Huaidong,

you can build a deep water dock.

Donghai wants to build a deep water dock?

Is that the purpose of Marquis Mozi?

Look.

The western side of these 3 regions of Huaidong forms a bend and is surrounded by water.

Based on topography, it is indeed a good place to build an deep water dock.

But because the eastern side is our eastern border,

Great Liang did not really put much attention

to the western lands.

But now, Donghai has already taken the 3 regions.

If it insists on building a dock here,

then it will be hard for Great Liang

to reclaim these three territories.

Xiao Yuanqi gave away the three regions

in exchange for merits in 7 regions.

He got used by Marquis Mozi.

But Xiao Yuanqi said that he would be able to reclaim the 3 regions.

I feel that he is not lying.

That's right.

Those words were sincere. I hope that he still cares for Great Liang.

That he was muddled for a moment because of greed for military achievements,

hence, was unscrupulous in his methods.

Yuanqi is still a descendant of the brother of the past emperor.

He did not get a chance to be heavily favored because of the past doings of his parents.

I never considered his feelings and ambitions before.

I understand how much someone who has grand ambitions but has no place to showcase his skills

would want to prove himself.

I did not handle this matter well.

Husband!

Feizhan sent a letter.

A letter from him was delivered by the postal service. He said that he will be coming back to celebrate new year with us.

Hurry and let me see.

This child...

has wandered outside for 2 years. He finally will be coming back.

No matter what has happened in the past,

he still was a child that I personally raised.

Say, after not seeing him for 2 years,

I really quite miss him.

Isn't that right?

I do not understand the government matters happening outside.

When Feizhan returns this time,

you two must not argue again.

Hurry and clean up his room.

Right now, he has no more official duties. It is already not convenient for him

to stay in the Jin Guard Manor.

Okay. I will go do it now.

The doctor said that you got traumatized.

You must drink several medicines and slowly recuperate.

People from Xun manor came to fetch my wife?

Yes.

It is as if you do not know that she is sick. Just reject them.

I also told them the same thing.

But when the senior servant of the Xun manor heard that Prince's Consort is sick,

she got concerned and insisted on entering to visit her.

Thank Auntie for me.

Once I am better, I will go visit her.

Yes.

There is a person here!

It is a lady.

She is alive.

General, she does not look like a person who does crude jobs.

How come this lady is lying here?

No matter what, it is a life. Let us save her first before interrogating her.

Men!

Let me.

What? Pei'er drowned?

They went out to tour around the lake. Pei'er was a naughty girl to begin with.

Carelessly, she fell into the lake.

That really scared Lady. She still is bedridden up to now.

How come it's Pei'er?

We bought her from the east.

Her water skills were quite good.

It is still the cold winter season and the 12th month of the year. When she fell into the water,

she must have become rigid from the cold.
