=Love of Nirvana=
(Based on Xiao Lou's novel of the same name)
I am very curious
about the maid in the Young Lord's residence
who is said to be exceptionally beautiful
I am ashamed
Saving lives is more important
Thank you for letting me win
Lord Pei
Vertical two, dismantle three
Commander Wei
Dismantle two, surround and capture
Wei Zhao's tactics are truly unpredictable.
But Pei Yan advances cautiously, step by step.
He hides his true intentions well.
I didn't expect
someone as calm and composed as Lord Pei
would act for the sake of a maid.
This is truly the younger generation.
The younger generation is impressive.
Simple
and straightforward.
Your Majesty is right.
No news yet?
No.
Quickly inform the marquis.
We must obtain the Heart Protection Pill.
Otherwise, Miss Jiang's life will be in danger.
Yes.
Good move.
It seems like you are
determined to win.
I also rise to the challenge.
Big Brother
You keep an eye for a while
I'll be right back
Your Highness
The Marquis of Jianding is incredibly powerful.
If Commander Wei loses,
Can you really bear to see Lady Zhou
meet a tragic end?
Then what do you suggest?
I have a plan.
Hot
Are you trying to burn me to death?
I deserve to die, I deserve to die
Go, go, go
Thank you for letting me win.
Your chess skills
are truly admirable.
You are too modest, Sanlang.
It was just a narrow victory.
Your Highness
Sorry
Beautiful lady, beautiful lady
I cannot save you
Let's continue our love in the next life
I have no choice
I apologize for any offense
Let's have a drink another day
I apologize to the prince
Saving a life is as urgent as putting out a fire
I shall take my leave
I couldn't help the prince today
Another day
I will also host a banquet to apologize to the prince
Why do you say that, Sanlang?
I still have to thank you
for playing a good game with me today
Sanguan
What kind of trick are you up to now?
Big brother
You're wronging me
My little schemes are nothing
It's getting late
Ali
Let's go back to the mansion and mourn
Yes
You recently
don't need to be on duty
Take a few days off
Thank you for your grace, my lord
My third brother
Your Highness, the Crown Prince
I still have to be on duty tomorrow
I will take my leave now
Sanlang
Please
Marquis
Young Master
Why did Ali suddenly change the medicine?
What else did you instruct him?
I
Yifei conveyed the message
to use Lady Zhou to ask King Zhuang for the medicine.
I was afraid it wouldn't be secure.
So I gave an extra reminder.
We can't let Peiyan
get the Heart Protection Pill.
What's wrong?
Ali saw the chess game was intense
and proactively offered a strategy to King Zhuang.
I saw the medicine had been changed,
so I let Peiyan win the chess game.
Are you really going to fight me for it?
Hot
Do you want to burn me to death?
I deserve to die, I deserve to die
I'm afraid Ali's actions have already exposed us
Why is this?
Ali
Let's go back to the mansion and mourn
Lately, you
don't need to be on duty
Take a few days off
I'm afraid when Teng Rui was led to the Yu Gong Shrine
Pei Yan became suspicious
In the main hall
He must have informed Prince Zhuang of the plan
Immediately have Old He inform Ali to retreat
Yes
Collecting kitchen waste
Thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for your hard work.
Got it.
Thanks for your hard work.
Young Master
Please forgive Ali for disobeying this time
If Ali were still alive
it would surely implicate the Young Master
Ali will definitely bless the Young Master
to clear the old city lord's name soon
and redress the injustice
Committed suicide
Yes
What exactly is going on?
The Heart Protection Pill is very precious
His Majesty often uses it to reward royal relatives
My mother, two years ago
Once received a medicinal reward from the palace
But my mother has a weak and cold constitution
Not suitable for taking the Heart Protection Pill
That pill
Has never been used since
So the Marquis had the antidote from the beginning
The so-called request for medicine
Was just a trap to lure out the assassin
There is a spy beside the Prince
Lure him out
Do you really want to compete with me?
Although this plan is risky
The opponent's scheme is far-reaching
Even beside Prince Zhuang
There are spies of the assassin
If we don't catch him
It will be even more dangerous
Fortunately
Prince Zhuang is willing to cooperate with me
causing Ali to reveal his weakness
I have already asked King Zhuang
tell him
Teng Rui wants to go to the Fish Temple
to find the Fish Master's handwriting
it was also Ali
it's a pity
I wanted to follow this lead
to uncover the truth behind him
unexpectedly
he showed some courage
even willing to die to protect his master
I found out
that Ali, three years ago
was a slave presented by Yuelou
Yuelou
Could this assassin be from Yuelou?
But why would they do this?
When Yuelou was defeated,
they were ordered to pay tribute in silver and slaves.
But for so many years,
they have never truly submitted to our Great Liang.
Liang and Wei have been at war for many years.
We had no time to attend to other matters.
This gave Yuelou a chance to catch their breath.
This matter
needs further investigation.
Yes.
Last night, the situation changed rapidly.
In such a short time,
he was able to react.
He advanced cautiously,
with meticulous planning.
He is a respectable
yet formidable opponent.
He is determined to get Teng Rui.
Teng Rui
cannot stay in the embassy any longer.
I hope Miss Jiang wakes up soon.
So that the marquis can capture the assassin.
Don't worry, Ziming.
Two days ago,
I already sent someone to Nanling to ask my mother for medicine.
It can be retrieved today.
Forgive me for being blunt, Cui Liang.
Miss Jiang is not a court official.
The marquis is risking her life.
Planning and scheming,
this action
lacks the demeanor of a gentleman.
I owe you my life.
Young Master
Young Master
It's all my fault
I shouldn't have overdone it
Ping Wushang
I am willing to trade my life for another
We need people right now
You need to stay alive
After completing the mission
then you can talk about death
Yes
This time
I lost to Pei Yan
The Young Master has already informed Ali to retreat in time
Sacrificing oneself for righteousness
was his choice
But this matter
is all my fault
Uncle Ping
Get up
Lord Teng
Please
This private villa of mine
is only a gate away from the main residence
Not only private
and secure
but also situated by the river
with beautiful scenery
If you don't mind, Lord Teng
why not move to the other residence temporarily?
The Changfeng Guards
will be responsible for your safety.
Although it is another residence,
it has its own unique charm.
Alright, alright.
My lord
I have discovered
that Pei Yan has already taken Teng Rui
back to the Pei residence
Pei Yan intends to use Teng Rui
to lure me out
The Pei residence is heavily guarded now
I'm afraid
it will be even harder to make a move
The Changfeng guards are well-trained
Attacking from the outside
is indeed difficult to break through
Pei Yan would not disregard Jiang Ci's life or death.
Keep an eye on the Pei residence.
The heart-protecting pill is indeed effective.
She looks much better than before.
But I estimate
she won't wake up so soon.
You don't need to stay here, my lord.
It's my fault that she got involved.
Tonight,
I will stay here.
Zi Ming,
you haven't slept for days.
Go back and rest.
Alright.
Then I'll come back to see her tomorrow morning.
How many outfits have you gone through already?
If you keep climbing on the roof,
and tearing your clothes,
I won't be sewing new ones for you.
Then I'll wear Master's clothes
and sleep with my head on Master's sleeve
How nice
You're so grown up and still can't change this habit
I just can't change it
I want to stay with Master for my whole life
and protect Master
Silly child
Master
The Marquis would actually do this for me.
Wait
Miss
You’re awake
The marquis stayed here with me all night
You were poisoned
You were unconscious for two days and nights
Don't worry.
The poison in your body has been neutralized.
It's all right now.
I thought I was very fortunate.
That I could survive this ordeal.
But I didn't expect that the way would be so challenging.
And the obstacles even greater.
I ended up in a worse situation.
Does it still hurt?
The poison in your body is neutralized,
but the wounds are still there.
Ziming instructed
to apply medicine promptly
to avoid scarring.
Come,
I'll help you.
I'll do it myself.
The young lady's hand is injured.
Let me do it instead.
Thank you, Lord.
Alright
That assassin
won't rest until the lady is dead
will not give up
Please stay here safely
I will ensure your safety
I won't let you fall into danger
Thank you, Lord
This time, you saved me
Did you use some precious medicine again?
As long as you are safe
everything else
is not important
This is the third time you have saved me
I will remember it
Miss Jiang
Actually
There's a fire
Quick, put out the fire
Lord, Lord
The stable caught fire somehow
The horse got scared and ran out
But it only listens to you
The men can't hold it back
Lord
You should go quickly
I'm fine
I'll be right back
You survived again.
I'm truly impressed.
You keep ruining my plans.
I wish I could cut you into pieces.
To ease my anger.
But don't worry.
I won't kill you for now.
But your master,
I can't promise the same.
You rarely come down the mountain
and are unaware of the dangers in the world
and the malice in people's hearts.
You should think thrice before acting.
How could you not take better care of yourself?
What exactly are you trying to do?
Keep the secret.
Everything you know,
keep it to yourself.
I don't even know who you are.
I don't know you either.
What secret am I helping you hide?
You really remember.
Don't even think I'll help you.
You do have some backbone.
If I kill you
and then order someone to take this little clay cat
to capture your master
do you think I should use a dagger
or poison
I was ignorant and arrogant
I deserve this calamity
but if you dare to harm my master even a little
to the ends of the earth
I will perish with you
as long as you promise me one thing
I will not only spare your master
but also release you
Teng Rui is now living in the Pei residence
I want you to report his every move to me
report to me
Impossible
You seem to have forgotten one thing
You have no bargaining power with me
You
and your master
are like this clay cat in my eyes
whether to live or die
is your choice
Lord
How did this fire start so mysteriously?
Not good
Miss
Are you okay?
It suddenly caught fire
It scared me a lot
No problem
The fire is out.
By the way, miss,
before you were poisoned and fell unconscious,
did you remember anything?
I remember the assassin threatening me
saying as long as
as long as I try to escape
he will definitely be able to find me
but this
I am very scared
I barely managed to escape
I didn't expect
the stables of the Jianding Marquis' residence to be so heavily guarded
The Pei Clan's Changfeng Guards
are not just famous for nothing.
Young Master
This girl is wild and hard to tame.
Will she really
be useful to us?
Although she is a wild girl,
she is loyal and righteous.
Cunning and smart,
she should not be underestimated.
Now,
I have found her weakness.
She will definitely listen to me.
We just need to
apply some pressure at the right time.
My Lord
The cause of the fire has been identified
It was caused by horses fighting and knocking over an oil lamp
which ignited the fodder
I have ordered those on duty tonight
to each receive twenty lashes
All camps in the army
have also been warned
You should assign more personnel
to secretly monitor
the people on this list
Yes
These
are all important ministers in the court.
The marquis suspects
that the assassin who fought with me that night
was dodging and evading
as if he was very afraid
that I would recognize him from his moves.
Regarding the Heart Protection Pill,
he was able to detect my plan at a critical moment,
he is definitely not someone from outside the palace.
This time, the Marquis
went to great lengths to save Miss Jiang
or perhaps he wants to use her to lure out the assassin
Before she fell unconscious
she clearly remembered something
but now her attitude has changed
There must be
some hidden reason
It seems
she needs to be established as a favored maid
to keep her by his side
and slowly gather information
Miss Jiang is still considered a guest
How could she willingly become a maid
She may be stubborn and unruly
but she has a soft heart
She wants to repay me for saving her life
Then I will have an opportunity
Stop
Token
Sister
I don't want to serve that lord
He always gets handsy with the sisters
Be careful and avoid him
For the time being
There's no one else to replace you
I heard
He's not a permanent resident
Just endure it for now
Go in
If I listen to that faceless cat
wouldn't I be aiding the villain?
But if I don't listen to him
wouldn't I be implicating Master?
No
I need to take control into my own hands
There's no end to the work in the main courtyard.
And we still have to serve in the other courtyard.
The inspections for coming and going are so strict.
It's so frustrating.
I don't even know how it happened.
They brought back such a big shot.
In my opinion,
since Miss Jiang arrived,
this household
hasn't had a moment of peace.
I heard
the Marquis fought with Prince Zhuang over Miss Jiang
right in front of the Emperor.
The Marquis admitted he has feelings for her.
He even asked the Emperor to approve.
That's really something.
From now on, in this household,
there probably won't be any peaceful days.
This is the treatment of a favored servant.
Miss Jiang
Do you still like
like
This is worth so much silver
It would be a waste if you don't like it
This is enough for a marriage proposal
Miss Jiang
Lord
Let me speak first
Lord, you have saved my life several times
I am deeply grateful
I also admire your unparalleled heroism
I would serve you tirelessly
But this
requires mutual affection
It is about mutual affection
Even if adorned with silk and satin
and covered in gold and silver jewelry
A forced melon is never sweet
Miss Jiang, are you
rejecting me
You are a good man, Lord
handsome and elegant
charming and dashing
Surely many young ladies like you
Miss Jiang, you misunderstood
You have saved Lord Teng several times
and suffered many misfortunes
I feel guilty in my heart
That's why I wanted to properly thank the lady.
Perhaps my poisoning has not yet healed
and it has affected my mind
causing me to speak nonsense here
Please, my lord, do not take it to heart
Miss Jiang has no regrets about her actions
How can words once spoken be taken back?
If they can't be taken back, so be it
It's better than being vague
That's true
Miss Jiang, please don't laugh
I was just joking with you
Actually, I do have an unreasonable request
Please speak, my lord.
What I am about to say next
is known only to you and me.
It must not be known by a third person.
I admitted to His Majesty
that my favor towards you is true
but it was a temporary measure to get the antidote
However, by doing so
from now on
we must
indeed
put on a show in front of others
otherwise, if we are seen through
we both will be guilty of
deceiving the emperor
deceiving the emperor
the crime of deceiving the emperor
So, will you lose your head?
Aren't you worried about yourself?
At worst, I'll just run away
My master always said
I'm like a loach
The world is so big
Catching a loach isn't that easy
But of course, I know
we can't run now
I would like to ask you
to disguise yourself as my maid
Disguise as a maid
I know
you were innocently dragged into this
but if I reveal you as a witness
who has seen the assassin
the court will surely investigate the whole matter
including the characteristics of the assassin
and even
trace your background
Moreover
that assassin is elusive
the incident at the Moon Pavilion
indeed left me with lingering fear
until the assassin is found
please follow my orders
Alright
if I follow the marquis
I can help protect him
Then this act
how should it be performed
In front of others, you must regard me as your lord
Miss Jiang will have to endure some grievances
and learn the basic etiquette of a maid in the academy
Being a maid
should allow you to go to the other courtyard
Once I deal with that shameless cat
I'll bring back the little mud cat
Alright
Then it's settled
From today onwards
I am the marquis's maid
If Miss understands
then from now on
you must change how you refer to yourself
So soon
Naturally
Then
I understand
Please rest assured, my lord
Miss Jiang
Are you ready?
Sister Shuxia
Where do you think I should start?
Previously, you were a guest at the marquis' residence
Naturally, you were well taken care of
But now
Since the marquis has taken you in as a maid
You must follow the rules of being a servant
You are new
Serving tea and water in this courtyard
Sweeping and wiping tables
All these tasks are yours
Alright
Put your hand out
You can't say "good"
You have to say "yes"
Yes
That's more like it
Being a spy requires a sense of conviction
Waist
Why lift it so high
Head
It can't be higher than mine
Stand firm.
Yes.
Very good.
As servants, we have to practice this.
We all went through this.
Legs.
Really
You
You
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Don't touch me, I'm sorry
I'm sorry
You, hurry up
Practice by yourself for another two hours
Sugar
The persistent faceless cat
Haven't I prepared for this?
Who can become fat in one bite?
What's wrong with you?
What happened?
What's the use of telling you?
What happened to the maid?
Without us,
those nobles wouldn't survive.
Do you know
the tasks in this mansion
where I can show my skills?
I just arrived here
and want to make a name for myself.
I want those important people to notice me.
Do you really think so?
Have you heard?
A distinguished guest has just moved into the villa.
I've been feeling unwell lately.
Alright.
Thank you for that.
That gentleman is difficult to serve.
You need to be more alert.
I understand.
Get up at dawn
Very lustful
What a mess
Withdraw
This is good
Put it down, put it down
Hurry, hurry
Lunch time
Very picky eater
Here I come!
Quite clever.
You're here.
Little baby.
You're here.
Indulging in beauty.
Not striving for progress.
And help you cleanse your stomach properly
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Stop
It's you
Sir, you have mistaken me for someone else
I couldn't possibly mistake someone
It's you
That night
It was you
who saved my life
See
I wasn't wrong, was I?
I told you, how could I mistake someone?
As expected from the Sword Marquis Manor
Even a mere maid is so clever
You all may leave
To be honest,
I have always wanted to thank you in person
for saving my life, young lady.
No need to be so polite, sir.
It was just a small effort.
Not at all.
By saving my life this time,
you also saved the Wei Kingdom.
Moreover, I have been staying at your residence
and have caused much inconvenience.
So,
I will host
and properly thank Lord Pei.
Young lady, you must also honor us with your presence.
Alright.
It's settled then.
What a coincidence.
Miss Jiang
Please don't be formal
By the way, Lord Pei
If you hadn't arrived in time that night
my life
would have been taken by that assassin
A cup of wine
to express my gratitude
You're too kind, Lord Teng
Please
Miss Jiang
You are my savior
I, Teng, thank you here
This jade gourd
symbolizes warding off illness and disaster
is a small trinket
to keep by your side
Please don't dislike it.
Quickly accept it.
I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it.
Thank you very much, Lord Teng.
You are truly a generous and kind person.
Why is the marquis practicing swordsmanship right after the banquet?
He said
to aid digestion
What's wrong?
My Lord
My hands are shaking.
Please continue.
Today
let's stop here.
Lunch at noon
Very picky eater
Come in.
Lord
Miss, no need for formalities
You got your foot hit by a copper basin
Does it still hurt?
Thank you for your concern, Lord
I'm fine now
Miss, this is
I have nothing to do
so I like to write and draw
The marquis is unhappy tonight.
Why do you ask that?
Maybe I'm overthinking it.
I only realized at tonight's banquet
that in such occasions
everyone hides their true intentions.
Guessing the true meaning behind people's words.
You don't like guessing.
Who does?
That's true.
I envy you too.
Living freely like a cloud or a crane.
Completely free.
I used to think
that someone like you
would be untainted by corruption.
Pure and noble.
Could it be
that I have disappointed you?
No,
I just realized
the higher the position,
the more one cares about the greater good,
the more they have to deal with complex and dangerous matters.
Over time,
one might lose control over their own actions.
You're joking.
These are all my responsibilities.
There's no such thing as inside or outside responsibilities.
It's just that a few people
are willing to take on the responsibility themselves.
Lord
It's getting late.
You should rest early.
Even though it's for the master
if we really let that shameless cat get what it wants
wouldn't that be too easy on him
You are toying with me
Then I'll make you suffer a bit too
