Nirvana in Fire

Episode 22

I'm a selfish person,

for my son,

I've lied to you for all these years.

I have no face to even defend myself.

But, Qi-er my daughter, she is innocent.

She is already part of the Zhuo family,

while there is nothing to treasure of the relationship between you and I,

but she is just a child,

please be kind to her.

The Zhuo family are from the pugilist world. Kindness and hatred are clearly distinguished and we will not implicate the next generation.

Qi-er is our daughter-in-law

If in the future she can come back with the her child,

she will receive what she deserves as our daughter-in-law.

You need not worry about this Princess Royal.

Master Zhuo, you and your family are injured, this has been a tiring night

would you please allow me to help you settle for the night.

Please.

Father, Mother

Jingrui, come, stand up

Jingrui

You are a good child.

The things that happened before would never be blamed on you

You shouldn't worry too much

Xie Yu, do you hate me?

The things in the past was not your fault

So many years has passed, you still don't understand what I think

I didn't mean the past, I meant what happened tonight

Tonight I protect my own son, I protected the Zhuo family

I protected those you wanted to kill

but I gave you up. Don't you hate me?

Even if you hadn't come, they would've charged in anyway.

I just wanted to kill them all.

When I saw you trying so hard

to kill them with all the risks involved,

I realized that what you have commited

was something beyond my ability, as Princess Royal, to shield.

What would happen if your crime is convicted?

Everything will be gone.

The Xie family's hereditary title,

will be gone along with it.

It is in this condition already, what will Mother and Father-in-law

and all the ancestors from Xie's family
what will they think?

Winners are Kings; Losers are bandits.

That is always the rule.

How would the ancestors not know?

Have you never thought of protecting the Xie family's honor?

The Xie family have made distinguished service in generations.

Do you think that is important?

Even if I think that is important, what can I do?

The only thing I can do for you and Xie family

would be that.

Since you are defeated and have no other way to go

It's better to die cleanly.
So you don't lose your pride as a man of the Xie Family.

If I die, will things really be resolved?

At least I won't let it be exposed.

Prince Yu is a political enemy, not someone out for revenge.

His goal is to pull you down,

not to kill the Xie family.

I will ask my brother, to allow me to live as a Nun,

I will leave the capital with the children

and from now on, the Xie Family will have nothing to do with the Court.

Your life can not be saved

but at least I can save your reputation.

If you feel lonely in the underworld,

I will come, to be with you once I've settled the children.

Alright?

Li yang, Li yang

I learn by heart of what you just said to me

So many years

I

I truly love you

But Li yang, I don't want die now

I am not at the end of my ropes yet,

not until the end will one know who the winner is.

If one dies, that's when they lose everything.

Might as well consume everything in the fight.
So what if I lose the Xie families titles.

If I have to die

I want to die willingly

I forgot

you were always a person like this

If you've decided this

That's good too

Subbed by the Lang Ya Bang Team @ Viki

Protect and settle the Zhuo family.
Do not be sloppy.

Yes sir

Thank you for tonight Mr Su
Let me send someone to escort you back home.

Thank you your Highness.
What happens next is crucial.

I hope you can deal with it overnight, so don't worry about me.

We have Zhuo Dinfeng as a witness.
there is no worry about defeating Xie Yu.

Thank you Sir for the great plan, but it's still chilly in April

it won't be good if you get sick.

When I return, how about I send an Imperial doctor to check with you?

No worry, I have doctor living with me.

Commander Meng was involved in this for no reason.

He must realize he has been utilized by us.

Your Highness can go back first, let me explain this to him.

Commander Meng is an honest man.

Be careful when you explain it to him.

We must not turn him into an enemy in this crucial moment.

I understand.

Good bye

Commander Meng

You've had a long day.

You too, Mr Su. It's getting dark.

Your body is so weak.

You should go back soon to rest.

I do feel a little cold, but it's already curfew time.

I'm just a civilian, walking around at this time is some what inconvenient.

Will you be able to escort me back Commander Meng?

Prince Jing is waiting for us at my house.

Sounds good. Sir Su, please.

Thank you, Commander General.

Great tactics. Sure enough, the Divine Talent has great tactics. We won a decisive victory tonight.

Even if the Crown Prince is a tiger, without Xie Yu, he's just a toothless tiger, forced to stay quietly in his cage.

Congratulations, Your Highness.

That's right, Banruo,

do you feel like the relationship between Mei Changsu and Meng Zhi is a little out of the ordinary?

Other than Mei Changsu choosing the home that Great General Meng suggested,

there doesn't seem to be much of a relationship there.

Maybe I'm just paranoid.

Quickly prepare a separate wing,

to settle the Zhuo family. There's no room for error.

I understand.

Tonight must have been very dangerous. Mr. Su, are you alright?

Thankfully, the Commander was also present.

Though there were many unforeseen circumstances, we managed to get through it safely.

Though tonight was truly startling.

I was shocked when Sir Su summarized what happened.

It must have been excruciating for those who were directly affected.

That's right. The Grand Princess's situation was a tightly held secret even back then.

Few people knew about it even among the Royal family.

Did Prince Yu ask you how you found out about it?

I didn't find it. Prince Yu found the information, then told me.

What?

It truly was Prince Yu.

However, Mr Su guided him towards the story in the first place.

Can you stop talking in circles? You're just confusing me. Hurry and tell me what happened.

I started planning the events of tonight before the new year.

Rumors are a frightful thing. I put my people in both the palace and Hong Xiu Zhao.

They both talked about the Grand Princess's history

and how similar Xiao Jingrui and Prince Chen of Southern Chu look.

Has Your Highness ever heard the Queen talk about how

twenty years ago, the Southern Chu royal family sent a hostage to Jinling?

I have.

Just these two clues was enough to send Qin Banruo on a hunt.

Oh, and last month, Gong Yu attempted to assassinate Xie Yu.

Of course, according to plan, the assassination failed.

Gong Yu was injured and hid inside Hong Xiu Zhao.

To thank Qin Banruo for saving her life,

Gong Yu told her the secret about Xie Yu murdering the infant.

I get it now. After learning of those things,

Prince Yu would definitely come find you to discuss how to use that information.

So, you helped him plan to uncover all of this on Jingrui's birthday.

Astounding. But, Yuwen Xuan's group...

what happened there?

For Yuwen Xuan's trip to the capital,

Prince Yu was given the task of hosting them. Of course he would meet Yuwen Nian.

And the girl looks so much like Jingrui.

The situation is immediately obvious. Plus, for Prince Yu,

arranging for the siblings to appear at the celebration would be simple.

That's right.

It's a bit cruel, but it's a rare opportunity.

Also, the group from Southern Chu came at just the right time!

Like it was destiny!

It's hard to say whether it was destined or man-made.

The poor Zhuo family, being tricked all these years.

Also, the youngster Jingrui

How do you think he'll do in the future?

He knows about your involvement in this entire situation.

No matter what, you two were friends.

Will he blame you for being too cruel?

If Sir Su wasn't this harsh, how could he sever Jingrui's relationship with Xie Yu?

There are consequences for everything. Jingrui would have to face these things eventually.

Did Your Highness have anything else to discuss tonight?

Sir Su's plan didn't need me to do anything. However,

I wanted to see Xie Yu's demise myself.

It seems to me Your Highness was worried about Prince Yu's soldiers.

You were afraid there would be danger

and something would happen to Sir Su.

That's right. Great General,

His Majesty will be going on a hunt the day after tomorrow.

The Southern Chu diplomats will definitely join. Make sure to show off a little to Yuwen Xuan.

Otherwise, he'll think that all the generals in Da Liang's Court,

are manipulative officials like Xie Yu.

-Best to squash any wild ambition before it develops.
-Alright.

Sir Su, you have to worry about many things. For your health's sake,

you need not worry about little problems like Yuwen Xuan.

It's not necessarily a small problem.

If it wasn't for tonight, when would Yuwen Xuan have the chance to see the power struggles within our courts?

Your Highness's words are inappropriate.

Are you saying that Sir Su did something wrong?

The Crown Prince and Prince Yu have been fighting since day one. Everyone knows about that.

Plus, I bet that Southern Chu

has problems like this too, right?

At least recently, the Southern Chu's court has been peaceful.

The country is stable and the people are happy.

Other than skirmishes with Mianyi, there's not much fighting.

If our country's officials continue to fight,

and we lose our prestige among our more stable neighbors,

they may think of invading.

Sir Su's words sound like those of a state scholar.

Since Your Highness and Sir Su both say so, I'll start planning tomorrow.

Sir Su, please don't worry. With His Highness at the hunt, we'll definitely show our military prowess.

Yuwen Xuan and the diplomats are in for a shock.

It's late. Sir Su should rest.

That's right. Your Highness should leave first.

It'll be inconvenient if we both leave at the same time.

Did I say something wrong just now?

He's the lord, you are his general. I'm a tactician.

You need to handle these relationships appropriately.

In front of him, we haven't spoken many times.

You don't need to defend me so vehemently.

Okay, I'll do as you say.

Xiao Shu

you must feel guilty about what happened with Jingrui, right?

I misspoke again.

Xie Yu, Xie Yu

Xie Yu

It was a waste of my time for favoring him for so many years

Xie Yu is extremely good at disguising himself
Everyone thought he was good and loyal.

If it was not because of the Xie's and Zhuo's falling out for things in the past.
I would never have known,

that he orchestrated the entire case of murdering the eunuchs in the Capital.

Not even mentioning that before this he had secret alliances.

Using the Tianquan Manor to clear is obstacles,
and secretly killing imperial officials.
All of these offences are serious, and cannot be forgiven.

He has not taken to heart your kindness.

Have you recorded all of Zhuo Dinfeng's confession?

Yes, but

What?

According to Zhuo Dinfeng,

Aunt Li Yang had no idea what Xie Yu was doing.

So I was thinking that since she is our family,

her children are also part of the imperial bloodline

So I would like to ask if you can pardon the execution of the family.

It is rare of you to have a heart of piety,

The Grand Empress Dowager's has not been well lately,

so for her health,

we cannot let Li Yang suffer because of Xie Yu.

Good thing she has her own place,

After the seizure of the marquis's manor, just tell her to take her children

to her own manor.

As for Xie Yu's case, I want you are in charge

You must carefully check every single document and evidence.

Do not any of Xie Yu's crimes be missed,

but the things that he didn't do

remember,

not to let others push it onto him.

I understand.

Doctor Qin,

You've watch Qi-er grow up, please save her!

Her fetus position is abnormal, and her blood pressure is low,

in addition to stress and worry

I'm afraid I cannot do anything.

Doctor Qin, I...
How is she?

Royal Princess, the child's shoulders have emerged,

we won't be able to save the mother, but we can save the baby.

My Qi er is still alive, what are you trying to do!

Qi er, Qi er! I am here
Mother!

- Don't be afraid, I'm here for you!
- Save Qingyao's child!

Qi er!

Qi er! Qi er!

Chief, the young mistress Xie has passed away due to labor complications.

- What about the child?
- The child is okay.

Prince Yu was generous and allowed Qingyao to go,

But he was too late and could not see her for the last time.

The Grand Princess allowed him to take the child, saying it was the young miss's wish.

Chief! I will go get Doctor Yan,

Su gege isn't well.

I'm alright.

Will you get better?

I will.

You know why?

Because a person's heart

will become harder and harder.

Sign: The Pillar of Defense

Chief, the Director of Xuanjing Bureaus Xia Jiang has just returned to the Capital.

Greetings to you, Shifu.

Dong-er, since the Xuanjing Bureau was founded by the late first Emperor of Da Liang,

what is our doctrine?

Follow only the commands of the Emperor, remove all evils

do not intervene with politics nor step into alliances.

Since you know that we do not step into alliances,

why were you at the Manor of the Marquis of Ning?

I was under the orders of the Emperor to investigate the murder of the eunuch.

Why would the murder of a eunuch be related to the marquis?

I was suspicious of Zhuo Dinfeng and needed evidence.

- Was it proven?
-Yes.

Then what happened?

Why did you not leave the manor?

How did you get entangled in the matters that came afterwards?

- You may not know, the situation at the tim--
- What does the situation have to do with us?

As the executive officer, you should know what to do.

We follow only the Emperor's orders and decrees,

once the case has been solved, you just need to report it to the emperor.

And should not be involved in anything else.
Do you not know?

I believe that if Zhuo Dinfeng was killed by Xie yu, then His Majesty would not believe what we said.

We just need to tell him the results.

Whether he believes is or not, it has nothing to do with us.

The affair at the Manor of the Marquis of Ning is obviously a confrontation between the Crown Prince and Prince Yu.

You getting involved has already broken our tenets.

Starting today, you are to be confined in the Bureau to reflect on your mistakes.

Yes, I understand.

Your subject Xia Jiang greets your Majesty.

You are finally back! Rise, rise.
- Thank you, Your Majesty

This time your retreat has lasted quite a long time.

It's great that the children can help me carry out tasks.

Your Majesty, speaking of the children,

I am very ashamed.

I have punished Xia Dong already,

I hope you will be lenient.

Punish Xia Dong? Why?

The affair at Marquis Ning's manor.

Xia Dong trespassed her duty.

It wasn't what an executive officer of Xuanjing Bureau should do.

You are too strict, Xia Dong was helping me solve a case.

I believe that what happened that night is not simply just a case.

Xuanjing Bureau is a weapon, only to be wielded by Your Majesty

Others cannot even think about it.

What you mean is, there is someone behind this?

I am just suspicious but there's no proof at the moment.

I would just like to point out that,

Xie Yu's crime is one thing,

but how those crimes were brought to light is another thing.

The one that is able to bring down the Marquise of Ning, would not be a simple person.

- You need to investigate this.
-Yes your Majesty.

Xie Yu's crimes have been proven.

I do not want to see him, but since you came back, go see him for me.

Ask him if there's anything he wants to say.

There are somethings that Prince Yu may not want to pass on for him.

I understand.

Director Xia, you finally come back to the Capital.

I told you not to involve too much in party competes too early.

You didn't believe me at that time,
do you believe me now?

I was careless this time.

Such a big fall.

I'm afraid you cannot describe it as carelessness.

You kindly came to see me today,

just want to let me know

how I fell?

There is not point in that.

In a word you've lost completely.

Not only have you lost your reputation but you'll also lose your life.

There's nothing that can be helped even with your presence, Director Xia?

To what degree do you want to be helped to?

To what degree can you help to?

If you keep your mouth shut then I can make sure you don't die.

That's all that can be done.

The Emperor will suspect if we do more than that.

Where there is life, there is hope.

I hope Director Xia can complete this agreement.

I have always completed any

agreements between you and me.

Five days ago, when the Emperor returned from the hunting grounds

He immediately awarded Prince Jing 20 good horses, 10 gold pearls and a jade ruyi.
T/N. ruyi - an auspicious ornament

For his braveness on the hunting ground and for adding to the prestige of Da Liang.

In the last few days the Eastern Palace and Prince Yu sent presents to Prince Jing.

Courtiers followed the trend and visited him.

But Prince Jing only accepted presents from the other Princes.

He said it's not nice to reject brothers' gifts.

He didn't accept presents from anyone else.

By Chief's orders, Mr Shisan has started to deal with all the spies that Qin Banruo planted in the different courtiers households.

Some of them were discovered when they made mistake while searching for intelligence.

Others were expelled for personal affairs, the others were

How many have been exposed?
About 7 or 8.

Is there any other news?

There is no other news yet.

No more?

We still haven't received news about Xie Yu's sentence.

I'm afraid someone will feel anxious.

Chief, Prince Yu is here.

Chief predicted so well, I will take my leave.

- Mr Su. Mr. Su you don't know
- your Highness

Father must be confused.

What did you say your Highness?

I mean, I really don't understand what he thinks.

Xie Yu's case should be cast in stone.

No matter how lenient, at most, he can only avoid implicating his family. His death sentence is inevitable.

What else is Father hesitating about?

His Majesty hesitated? Wasn't it fine a couple of days ago?

You don't know, Xuanjing Bureau's Director Xia Jiang has returned.

This old geezer, I didn't realize he has such friendship with Xie Yu.

Who knows what he muttered in front of Father and now the wind has changed.

How could it change? There is irrefutable evidence in Xie Yu's case.

There is a letter hand written by Xie Yu in Tianquan Manor.

There is also blueprint of Shen Zhui's house drawn by Xie Yu in Zhuo Qingyao's hands.

A crime for assassinating an imperial official

cannot be overturned by just a few words.

He has confessed to that, but there are some things he didn't.

Basically, he admitted to crimes which were done to help the Crown Prince,

but not to crimes which encroached on imperial powers, like the eunuch murder case.

Yes, he admitted to using Zhuo Dinfeng

including attempting to murder Shen Zhui.
But he said he was innocent in other affairs.

Instead he said that Zhuo Dinfeng framed him for revenge.

It looks like he just wants to save his own life.

But it's right, when the Crown Prince succeeds the throne,

he'll be able to come back.

He is just dreaming.

If I cannot send him to his grave,

then I've just wasted your efforts in planning all this.

Since you are so confident, why should you worry about Xia Jiang?

You have no idea. Xia Jiang is very capable, and Father has total trust in him.

I heard that as soon as he came back, he reprimanded Xia Dong for helping me.

I am so confused, he has no connections with Xie Yu, why would he help him?

You do not have to be so rushed.

His Majesty trusts Xia Jiang, but favoritism wise

you will not lose to him.

Xie Yu wants to resurrect, but that will not be easy.

His power is gone, living or dying there's no difference.

But His Majesty's attitude towards me

has been weird. While its still caring and warm,

but he seems somewhat withdrawn.

You are thinking too much. The court officials are all supporting you.

You've finally oppressed the Crown Prince, you can't lose your momentum now.

What you said is true. I understand.

Did Xia Jiang go to the prison to meet with Xie Yu?

They met up once, he said it was an imperial edict and sent all my men out.
So I don't know what they spoke about.

The other day, I asked you get Zhou Dinfeng to write up a list of assassination targets,

did you get it?

Yes, I brought it today. Please have a look.

Xie Yu is certainly a daring man.

Just using Zhuo Dinfeng he's killed so many people.

All these years, it's lucky that I've not been killed by him.

Perhaps there are people on this list that even

Zhou Dinfeng himself doesn't know why Xie Yu wanted them dead.

That is right. Even I don't understand some of them, why he wanted them dead.

That is true. For example here...

Li Chongxin, he was killed in the 17th year of Kaiwen.
T/N. Kaiwen - era name of the current Emperor

About 12 to 13 years ago... a school teacher.

It curious...

Have you ever thought that maybe Xie Yu had killed these people for others?

Others?

Didn't you say earlier that Xie Yu and Xia Jiang are only acquaintances.

But this time, Xia Jiang protected Xie Yu.

Maybe because there is some connection.

What can Xia Jiang gain?

Do you mean he's also on the Crown Prince's side?

Before the Crown Prince ascends to the thrown, Xia Jiang wouldn't care about him.

He never participates in party conflicts, that's why the Emperor trusts him.

That is true. Xia Jiang is very loyal to Father.

That's exactly why I don't understand his willingness to help Xie Yu.

What If Xie Yu did some type of work for him?
