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

The criminal has escaped! Go after him!

I...

Should I thank Your Grace for saving me?

Why would I save you?

I can tell Your Grace a huge secret in exchange.

I had another accomplice helping me with spreading the plague in Jinling.

Sir, this way, please.

This is my handwritten statement.

I had wanted to escape first and then send this back to the capital

to stir up more chaos.

Since I've run into Your Grace now, I can give it to you as a gift.

You now have evidence to blackmail the empress.

Everyone knows that you're a ruthless lunatic who would resort to anything.

You expect me to take down the empress with a lunatic's confession?

Do you think that I'm as crazy as you are?

What if I can also offer you the decree Her Highness wrote me

stating that she ordered me to dispel misfortune for Crown Prince?

She wrote a decree?

Exactly.

She couldn't be that brainless.

She's a mother.

For the sake of her child...

it's only normal that she'd lose her senses.

I tricked her into writing the decree by saying

that I need it as an offering to God.

That was why she frantically wrote this down for me.

We both know very well...

the empress is ranked right up at the top.

She also has the Cabinet Minister as her older brother.

Even if I take this, I might not have a chance to use it.

It's just better than having nothing at all.

Can I now thank Your Grace for saving me?

Thank you.

If anyone gets something on you, you have a weakness.

That's why I've never kept anything from the Royal Changlin Manor.

The only matter that they mustn't find out

is the promise between me and Marquis Mo Zi.

Whether you truly wish to stay out of the fighting world or not

the best thing for me is...

Dead men can't talk.

Very good.

Bear this in mind, dear child.

You have to be even meaner and more ruthless...

so as to achieve your ambition.

I'm tired.

I need to rest for a while.

Why should we avoid using the blood transfusion?

Xi!

What have you thought of?

Mentor.

The poison in Ping Jing has broken out, so he can't facilitate his inner force.

He needs someone to take the gallbladder and transfer blood to him.

Haven't we already figured out how to get around that?

She's right, Mentor.

You're right!

We've blocked the meridians.

The gallbladder's medical effects can be enhanced.

Moreover, his energy won't be consumed as it would in a transfusion.

We can surely cure both of them with one gallbladder!

Mentor.

It will work.

Judging from the theory...

This method might work.

As for proportioning the gallbladder...

Come with me.

Xi and I managed to find a new method to cure the poison

because of this transcript from Langya Hall that Princess Consort found.

It recorded a rarely used medicinal herb.

Among its effects, it can relieve the coagulation of blood.

Du Zhong found some in our pharmacy.

We've decocted it and had Second Young Master try two doses.

It is working quite well.

The circulation is already better in his heart and veins.

It's also written in the book that only two thirds

of the dark hornless dragon's gallbladder is enough to cure the Bone Frost.

I already made a calculation.

The energy consumed during a transfusion and unused meridians

will use up about a third of the gallbladder.

Therefore, this method is feasible.

In fact, the method to save two lives with one gallbladder

is exactly the same as saving one life with one gallbladder.

It's to take the gallbladder along with medicine

that can relieve coagulation of blood.

Doctors will also have to seal off meridians that aren't in use.

This then allows the gallbladder's effect to facilitate the heart and veins

pumping the medicated blood into Yin meridians and organs.

- Then-- - Excuse my slow wits.

I don't quite understand the medical theory.

Old Hall Master needs only to tell me if it will work

and how I should cooperate with you.

This is definitely feasible.

It's just that the main cure is still the gallbladder

of the dark hornless dragon snake.

The two of you will have to share one.

Ping Jing has been poisoned for quite some time.

As for Your Highness's dosage...

It might not be enough.

Didn't you say that it is feasible?

Sister Meng, fret not.

We've deliberated over all the factors.

It is indeed feasible.

We just wish to be explain it as clearly as we can.

Don't panic.

Let Old Hall Master Li finish.

Old Hall Master Li, you said that my four vital organs must be sealed first

and separated from my heart and veins.

What exactly does that mean?

Simply put, the poison in Ping Jing's body has gone deeper.

Therefore, he must take a bigger portion of the medication.

We'll have to perform acupuncture on Your Highness first

to stop the less important functions.

Once the chilling of blood is cured, you can move on to recuperation.

Is there any danger?

During days of the treatment, His Highness will lose consciousness.

His breathing will be shallow.

He will seem very vulnerable, but his life won't be in danger.

However, it's certain that his health will be affected.

He'll need to recuperate for months before he resumes his usual activities.

I had thought that it could only be resolved with my death.

Now that we both have a chance to be saved

I'm full of unexpected renewed hope.

Whatever the risks might be

whatever the final outcome

my brother and I would like to thank Old Hall Master Li in advance.

Miss Lin, you've also worked very hard.

I won't say much else now that Your Highness has trusted me with this.

Second Young Master's condition is not to be put off for long.

Should we start right away?

Your Highness.

Come in.

Your Highness, someone has come to see you about an important matter.

He insists on discussing it with you in person.

What could be more important right now?

Send him away. We won't see him.

I have seen this man before.

Han Hai?

Tuoba Yu of Northern Yan.

This man couldn't have come to Jinling City without a reason.

Old Hall Master, please give me a moment.

I have to see him first.

Don't worry.

It shouldn't take too long.

First born prince of Changlin.

It's been some time.

Young Master Tuoba has traveled a great distance.

I wonder what urgent matter has brought you here.

Your Highness should know that since Prince Hui was assassinated

the situation in our Royal Court has changed drastically.

I've heard about it.

Prince Chen is now leading the Royal Court.

He has suffered numerous defeats from going against the rebels.

Now that he is left with no choice

he has resorted to convincing our king

to sign a secret treaty with Great Yu.

A secret treaty with Great Yu?

I don't actually know if I should inform you of this matter.

I just think that if Prince Hui were still alive now

he would never want bad blood between Changlin Army and Northern Yan

for the sake of temporary benefits.

What secret treaty is it that your king has signed with Great Yu?

Great Yu agreed to attack the northern border

that the rebels have taken over.

At the same time, they will supply silver and rations to our state.

In order to repay the favor...

Our king agreed to open up the entrance to Mount Yin.

Great Yu's royal army is allowed to go through it

to get to the western frontier.

Open up the entrance to Mount Yin?

That's your crucial portal to the southwest!

Our state is now faltering.

Our king has lost his senses.

When did this happen?

The secret treaty was signed last month.

Great Yu was obviously prepared well in advance.

They won't go slowly.

Right now, the last thing Great Yan needs is enemies.

That's all I can say.

Your Highness, please take care.

Your Highness.

Ping Zhang!

Ping Zhang...

Father...

Father...

His Majesty returns to the capital tomorrow.

The basic arrangements for receiving His Majesty are done.

I'll leave this matter entirely to the two of you.

- Yes. - Yes.

I should be supervising this personally.

However...

I'm really concerned about Changlin Manor.

Therefore, this time...

It will be hard on you both.

Commander General, you're too polite.

This is our rightful duty.

How is it hard work at all?

That's impossible.

That's definitely impossible!

We're doctors, not deities!

We racked our brains and came up with the method we just explained!

There's no room for negotiation!
