[Nirvana In Fire II]

[Episode 7]

Commander General, there's
no exit on the left or right.

Commander Sun has led
the others across the manor.

If the criminal has escaped
to the other side

he'll surely discover him.

- Take action now.
- Yes.

Commander General.

The criminal escaped in your direction.

Didn't you see him?

There was no sign of him.

This seems to be the wall
behind Marquis of Laiyang Manor.

[Memorial tablet of deceased husband,
Marquis Xiao of Laiyang]

Your Grace!

- Your Grace.
- Brother Xun.

My servants already informed me.

Arresting the felon is our priority.

In addition to the inner quarters,
feel free to search the manor.

Thank you, Your Grace.

But I'm afraid it's the inner quarters
that he's escaped into.

As for that...

I'll have to inform my mother first.

All right.

This way, please.

Mother?

Yuan Qi.

Mother.

Grand Madam.

Commander General Xun,
what is the matter?

Grand Madam of Laiyang.

This cupboard... May I...

I'll open it.

Grand Madam of Laiyang,
forgive me for being impertinent.

And that one...

My intimates are in that cupboard.

Are we done here?

Apologies for alarming Grand Madam.

Thank you, Brother Xun.

Let's go.

Mother?

What's the matter, Mother?

I'm all right.

I'd like to have some time alone.

You should leave the room.

I'll take my leave.

- Step outside.
- Yes.

Ping Zhang, do you have to be so angry?

Yuan Shi is just a 10-year-old child.

The empress is being too harsh.

Listen up.

Bear these two points in mind.

First, Crown Prince is
officially anointed

and now takes his position
in East Palace.

He is not to be called by his first name.

Second, when the empress disciplines
the crown prince

only His Majesty and the
Three Tutors can correct her.

What is your identity?

How could you correct her to her face?

Ping Zhang, do we really have to
be so careful with just a few words?

It's no wonder that Old Hall Master Lin
said those in politics have a hard life.

Come up here.

You're cursing the emperor
with the sorcery of voodoo...

Grand Madam...

You seem to have committed
a far worse crime than I did.

Who are you?

What is it that you want?

I just happened to pass by
and need a place to hide.

I don't wish to do anything else.

It's not that I wish to talk back to you.

I just find it somehow intentional
that you're being so careful.

Ping Jing, before Duan Tong Zhou got away

hadn't we already speculated that
he might be working for someone else?

Who do you have in mind?

No one in particular.

This isn't a matter that
we can figure out easily.

However it might be

that there is an enemy lurking
somewhere in the dark.

Haven't you wondered why
Changlin Manor is so scrutinized

in the Imperial Court despite
our efforts in defending the frontier?

The more His Majesty trusts us

the more Changlin Manor can't
afford to let him down.

Even though our conscience is clear

we can't expect others to
understand and trust us.

I ask that you remain cautious
and conform to etiquette.

It's not out of any purpose
nor hypocrisy.

This is to prevent others
from assuming that

Changlin Manor believes
itself to be meritorious.

Hence, we show less respect to
His Majesty and Crown Prince.

You're so smart.

Can you not understand this?

The Imperial Guards and Patrol Force?

Why are they outside
Marquis of Laiyang Manor?

Could it be...

Go on.

But you must obey
Fei Zhan's instructions.

Let's go.

Second Young Master.

- Second Young Master.
- Second Young Master.

Brother Xun.

Yuan Qi.

Is it Duan Tong Zhou?

Yes, I exchanged a few blows
with him but we didn't get him.

What is he doing here?

What's going on?

Commander General,
we've searched everywhere.

We didn't find him.

Brother Xun, if you
could find his tracks once

you can do so again.

As long as Duan Tong Zhou
is still in the capital

he surely can't get away.

Those who are searching
for you have left.

You should get going quickly.

Whether Grand Madam believes it or not

I didn't just find out
about this secret of yours today.

But honestly...

Could Grand Madam really
appease years of hatred

as a widow by just pricking
a few needles on a doll?

Duan Tong Zhou left this behind?

The dark flames of hell
really are something...

Brother Xun?

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

I just didn't notice that

Duan Tong Zhou is actually
so skilled when we were in combat.

Your Highness, you've returned?

Your Highness.

You've greeted Father?

Miss Lin said that you have to take
the last decoction before bed.

I'll get you the medication.

Don't be so anxious.

Whatever will be, will be.

We're both still young.

Father hasn't bothered us
about it either.

Why do you get so anxious about it?

But...

I've already been married
to you for seven years.

You're tired of me already
after just seven years?

I plan on spending the rest
of my life with you.

Xiao Xue, we grew up together.

Not only am I your husband,
but also your Ping Zhang.

I'm very blessed
to have you as my wife.

As for the rest...

If we get to have children,
that will be icing on the cake.

If we don't, you don't have
to take it to heart either.

I want the icing on the cake.

I want to have your child.

Second Young Master.

Housekeeper Zhou.

Is something the matter?

The clerk at Jifeng Hall
brought a message.

Miss Lin asks that you visit her there.

Right now?

I think so.

All right, I heard you.

This way, Second Young Master.

Mind the steps.

Yun, do you know why
Miss Lin has asked me over?

I don't know either.

Why don't you ask Miss Lin?

- Miss.
- Miss Lin.

Yun, you may leave now.

Close the door behind you.

Yes.

Lin Xi, this is the first time
you've invited me over.

Is it because I've been busy lately
and haven't visited

so you miss me a bit?

It's all right to miss me.

That's fine.

I've always been on many people's minds.

Lin Xi!

Lin Xi, listen!

Although Langya Hall
isn't too conventional

we do have rules in Changlin Manor.

If we chat late at night
in this manner...

Isn't it inappropriate?

Why does this box look so familiar?

This belongs to your sister-in-law.

You asked me here late at night
to look at my sister-in-law's makeup box?

Take a closer look at it.

What's this hidden in between
the compartments?

I suspect that it's the
Eastern Sea Dracaena.

What's the Eastern Sea Dracaena?

Fei Zhan?

You came in without a sound
and gave me quite a fright.

Haven't you been very busy lately?

How do you have the time to visit?

I've been busy lately because
His Majesty has entrusted me

with the task of arresting
an escaped felon.

Today, I was informed by the Patrol Force

that there were sightings of
Duan Tong Zhou.

We exchanged a few blows.

You fought with him already?

Did you manage to catch him?

You mean to say
it's all because of this substance

that my sister-in-law is still childless
after years of marriage?

Eastern Sea Dracaena has
very chilling elements.

Even leaving it lying around,
its effect can still penetrate.

If the princess consort uses
this makeup box very often

it's very likely that she's suffered
from the result of its effect.

This is a very rare medicine.

I've only seen it once many years ago.

Whether this really is
the Eastern Sea Dracaena

I am unable to confirm that yet.

That's why I asked you over instead of
telling your sister-in-law first.

I understand.

My sister-in-law has always been
burdened with the hope of having a child.

If you're wrong

I'll only add to their troubles
if I inform them about this too soon.

It's very thoughtful of you
to consider this.

How will you be able to confirm it?

Since it's now in my hands

I just need to test and
compare its toxicity.

How long will it take?

It hasn't been busy in the clinic.

Two or three days will do.

That man is indeed remarkable
if he was able to escape from you.

Duan Tong Zhou's skills
in martial arts are indeed spooky.

When we were in combat,
he left a palm print behind.

It doesn't seem to
have been made by a man's hand.

It's as if it was burnt by
a scalding iron palm.

There can't be a second person
with the same skills

even in the fighter's world.

Not to mention in this capital.

Uncle, can you tell me...

What exactly is going on?

Lin Xi, if this substance
really is what you said...

Will my sister-in-law be able
to reverse its effect on her?

Princess Consort is trained
in martial arts.

She's very healthy.

There should be ways to help her.

But who could possibly do this to her?

What is the motive in this?

I'm a doctor.

I've only studied the canons
and classics of medical books.

All I think of is how to save lives.

As for why anyone
would do such a thing...

I can never figure it out.

It's getting late.

I'll get going.

Thank you for being concerned.

I'm just a civil official.

I know nothing about martial arts at all.

Before you mentioned it, I didn't even
know that there was a handprint here.

I can't even recognize it as...

The dark flames of hell?

Are you saying that Duan Tong Zhou
could have snuck into my manor?

Uncle.

It's late at night
and no one else is around.

Will you be honest with me?

It seems that you had already declared me
guilty in your mind when you came here.

I believe only my own eyes.

If I were involved in Song Fu's case

why didn't he point me out?

Perhaps, it really is because
you didn't conspire with him.

Perhaps, Song Fu isn't the only
person in the capital

who Duan Tong Zhou works for.

Perhaps, this Palm of Hell went to
Qi Province to contact Ji Chen.

He did it in the name of
Song Fu but in fact...

There's actually
someone else who hired him.

You suspect your own uncle?

Uncle...

I just told you.

I believe only my own eyes.

Even if Duan Tong Zhou
had been in my manor

would this prove me guilty?

I am not the one to judge
if this would prove you guilty!

Uncle, would you have me report this
to His Majesty and have you convicted?

Fei Zhan...
Fei Zhan...

You were orphaned at a young age.

Have I ever treated you poorly
for even a day in your life?

Your aunt has been the one to
look after your every need!

When you suddenly wanted to train
in martial arts at seven years old

I went to Commander General Meng's manor
to seek mentoring for you!

That's enough!

Uncle, you know what it is
that I wish to hear from you.

But it isn't what you just said!

Master? Master, is everything all right?

It's fine!

All of you are to step further away!

No one is allowed in!

Yes, Master.

Uncle...

Forgive me for offending you.

I just couldn't understand.

The empress is in charge
of the inner court

and the crown prince is
officially assigned to East Palace.

In the Imperial Court, you're already
ranked above every other official.

You're the Cabinet Minister.

All 50,000 imperial guards
are under my management.

Taking all of those into account

His Majesty has treated the Xun family
with great respect and fondness!

Yet, Uncle... why would you still
take such actions?

Whatever you're accusing
me of, I didn't do it.

However, I admit that I did consider
doing what you accused me of.

Why?

Uncle... I really can't understand!

You've served at
the emperor's side for years.

Have you not noticed?

These years, His Majesty has
turned a blind eye.

He's never made any plans
for the crown prince's future!

I'm not exaggerating
any of this to scare you.

You know very well how powerful
the Royal Changlin manor is.

The debt of gratitude they owe
the former emperor still lingers.

His Majesty and Prince of Changlin
are loving brothers.

They could get along so well.

But will Crown Prince be able
to do so with his cousins?

If we don't try to keep
their authority in check

and take precautions for what may come

we can't guarantee that
there won't be a bloodbath!

No.

I don't believe His Highness
to be that sort of man.

Ping Zhang is definitely not either.

Fei Zhan, it's so naive and childish
of you to think that!

Must the sovereignty of Great Liang
and the throne

be at the mercy of
the Royal Changlin Manor's conduct?

If they are just and righteous,
the nation will be peaceful.

Should they fall prey
to their personal interests

the nation will be in peril.

If it were you,
could you feel at ease about that?

Based on your words

it's just because of a personal motive
that you resort to such means?

You--

I'd like to ask you instead.

Those who were killed
at the northern frontier...

Are they not soldiers of Great Liang?

Once the enemies invade down south

are they not the lands of Great Liang
that they shall trample?

Fei Zhan!

Fei Zhan...

The servants told me that there was
something going on in the study.

Everyone has been sent away.

What exactly happened?

You've always been close to your uncle.

Why would you have such an argument?

Auntie...

Fei Zhan...

You're already a highly ranked
official in the Imperial Court.

You have your own opinions.

I certainly can't impose my ideas on you.

I just hope you won't forget

that over 100 members
of the Xun Clan are all your kin.

Uncle...

Before I arrest Duan Tong Zhou...

I won't... say a word about it.

I hope that from now on...

Uncle can rein it in
before it's too late.

Don't take another step
in the wrong direction again.

I apologize for disturbing Auntie.

My dear...

He sounded so stern.

What exactly happened?

Fei Zhan is too soft-hearted.

Everything's fine.

It will be all right.

Ping Jing?

Why did Miss Lin Xi
ask you over last night?

Ping Zhang...

Commander General,
Master Wei of the Inner Court is here.

Ping Zhang!

All these years...

Because Xiao Xue wants
a child so badly

she shed so many tears and drank
so many of those bitter medications.

Ping Zhang, don't get angry yet.

Lin Xi still needs to
confirm that substance.

That's why she hasn't told
Qian Xue about this yet.

Ping Jing...

Will you invite Miss Lin Xi
over here today?

Why are you asking her to come here?

In order to avoid
alarming your sister-in-law

she's only been investigating secretly.

I'm worried that
she can't have every aspect checked.

You'd like her to search
your quarters again carefully?

Yes.

Your sister-in-law went
to Green Lotus Temple today.

She won't know about this.

I'll do it now.

Quickly.

Greetings, Commander General.

Master Wei.

There's a special fragrance on this item.

It doesn't seem foreign.

I somehow find it quite familiar.

But then I can't recall
where I had a whiff of this smell.

Master Wei, you're in charge of
various spices in the Inner Court.

It's said that
nothing gets past your nose.

Do you know what this could be?

Commander General.

This was stained with the oil
blended in the Inner Court

specifically for the lamps
at the White Cult's altar.

Any other oil blended outside
the palace wouldn't be the same.

It's no wonder that
I remember this smell.

Master Wei, where else
would this oil be used

besides in lamps in the Inner Court?

Commander General,
we blended 120 kilograms of oil.

Besides the princess consort of
Changlin who used some

for her prayers in Green Lotus Temple

the rest were all delivered to
Guru Puyang's Qiantian Yard.

They are specifically used for
the White Cult's altar.

I see. Thank you, Master Wei.

Take care, Master Wei.

I'll take my leave now.

Green Lotus Temple...

Qiantian Yard?

[Imperial Guards Battalion]

Commander General.

You seldom take two days off.

Why are you heading out again?

I'm afraid that I won't
be back until quite late.

If anything comes up during the day
that isn't too pressing

you'll handle it in my stead.

Yes.

Your Highness, you need not worry.

All other items in this room are fine.

That means it's only this makeup box?

Eastern Sea Dracaena is very rare.

However, this quantity is enough
to achieve its purpose.

It's understandable that
no other measures were taken.

We'll have to trouble Miss Lin.

Please don't be so polite, Your Highness.

Please don't walk me out, Your Highness.

Please allow Ping Jing to
see you out on my behalf.

Yes.

Your Highness.

This was bestowed to me by the empress.

But there were too many
who had handled it in the process.

Wait here.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Abbot, are these
the longevity lamps offered by

the princess consort of Changlin
for her prayers to the temple?

Yes.

I do know that the oil
was bestowed by His Majesty

and should be used carefully.

In order to keep the flames burning

I've instructed my disciples
to take shifts guarding them.

There's always someone on watch
here in the hall.

Abbot, please gather all the monks
in the temple for me.

I need to know
if anyone has seen this man.

Yes.

Abbot, may I ask you something?

What do people usually pray for
in this temple?

Those who pray to the Goddess of Mercy
mostly hope for plenty of children

and good health for their families.

Thank you, Abbot.
